In fact, Song Yang was not adequately prepared, and any hastily devised countermeasures would inevitably have loopholes.

Even if Liu Xia wasn't in their team, Jiang Ran could have Arceus transfer Gwen's perception abilities to someone else. This wouldn't be considered a "miracle" effect, nor would it be considered "Gwen's" ability.

Since the ability's operability is almost limitless, theoretically, no matter what restrictions Song Yang sets, they all have corresponding ways to break through them; it's just a matter of how much time it takes.

This time, Jiang Ran had no intention of holding back; he was going to kill Song Yang and Jiang Bowen! All along, their only concern had been the rules, so they would just have to face them head-on! He would simply use [Miracle] to dispel it; what was a mere rule that could possibly restrict someone so much?

When he first became a ghost storyteller, he had to pay attention to every rule because the consequences of the rules were unbearable. Back then, even the lowest-level [weird] monster was enough to kill him. Why was Jiang Ran able to roam freely in the SSS-level dungeon? Was it really because the dungeon was too easy?

No, it's simply because Jiang Ran's strength has increased! If he were to return to the initial dungeons now, he wouldn't need to use his brain at all; he could simply push through! Like before, when he had to hide and scheme to finally defeat the [Void Dragon], the current Jiang Ran could easily annihilate the [Void Dragon] without expending so much effort!

Therefore, Song Yang's death was not accidental, but inevitable. Even if he escaped this calamity, Jiang Ran would have plenty of opportunities to deal with him given the cards he currently holds. To be honest, the previous disadvantage was simply because Jiang Ran did not have enough information.

Song Yang lost all life and collapsed here.

"If you can clear Tianguang Town in this cycle, you won't have a chance to be resurrected."

The corruption caused by the rules can be eradicated with a miracle. Jiang Ran must seize the opportunity and take down Jiang Bowen in one fell swoop! Completely eliminate the danger lurking in the shadows!

Only then can he focus on conquering Tianguang Town!

"Liu Xia! Locate Jiang Bowen!" Jiang Ran picked up a stone from the side, chipped a hole in the middle, and scooped the goldfish that Alice had transformed into into it. "Yang Hai! Cast an illusion spell! Let's leave the church first!"

The people in the church rushed in: "What on earth happened?!"

Their battle inside hadn't involved anyone else, so it shouldn't have attracted anyone else. It was probably the sandstorm that affected the outside. But it didn't matter. The group swaggered away from the church, and no one noticed them.

Jiang Ran, Arceus, and Alex all have very little mental energy left, and they are not able to turn Alice back right now. They can only deal with it later. There is also the problem of Jiang Ran's body being polluted. So although Jiang Ran wants to take down Jiang Bowen now, the actual situation is that he can't rush it and has to wait for his mental energy to recover.

"Brother Jiang Ran! Jiang Bowen has stopped moving!"

Liu Xia had been monitoring Jiang Bowen's location, and now that Jiang Bowen hadn't moved for a minute, he told Jiang Ran about his discovery.

“Really? Anyway, he can’t escape Tianguang Town, so it’s inevitable that he’ll stop.” Jiang Ran handed the map to Liu Xia. “Take a look at where he is now.”

Liu Xia quickly found the answer by comparing her own location with Jiang Bowen's.

"He's at the mayor's house!"

As expected? Jiang Bowen alone couldn't withstand them, so he had to rely on his home-field advantage and try to use the town mayor to restart Tianguang Town? Jiang Ran could only say he was too naive.

In the following time, Jiang Ran did nothing but recover his mental strength, while Jiang Bowen did not move after entering the mayor's house. It was unclear whether he had decided to give up or was harboring some other evil intention.

After his mental strength had almost recovered, Jiang Ran first used the recorded [Remnant Dream] to help Alice regain her human form. As soon as Alice was restored, she threw herself into Jiang Ran's arms: "Brother Jiang Ran, there's so much water! I feel like I'm going to drown!"

No, it can't be that bad...

"How is everyone's mental strength recovering?"

"That's about it!"

At this point, Su Yu and Chen Qiuran felt somewhat helpless. They finally realized that mental power was a unique blue bar, but they didn't have it, and they didn't know how others had it. They couldn't get any answers from the questions. It was like they were the outsiders, even though they were the ones from the Dragon Kingdom!

They always had this misconception that it didn't matter whether they were involved in this operation or not!

Yes, it's an illusion! It must be an illusion!

"Do it, Arceus, send this last survivor on his way!"

Arceus nodded.

This is a miracle from [Remnant Dream]!

He wants to move Jiang Bowen's position directly in front of them!

"Prepare for battle!"

The moment Jiang Bowen appeared, thunder roared, and he entered the strongest form of the [Demon God]!

Baal, the first demon god!

Sometimes, you don't know what cards your opponent has up their sleeve until you take a gamble!

Gwen and Alice both threw out threads, a control exerted by two near-god level beings. Jiang Bowen held nothing back, but still couldn't completely break free. At the same time, Rusgerer, Ye Ye, and Yang Hai attacked together, firmly suppressing Jiang Bowen's counterattack!

Even if Jiang Ran, Arceus, and Alex don't make a move, Jiang Bowen will still have to face five near-god level opponents by himself. This is not just difficult, it's completely hopeless!

Under the combined attack of the five, Jiang Bowen was defeated after only a few seconds. The Baal form consumed a great deal of mental energy, so no one went for the kill. They forced Jiang Bowen to exhaust his mental energy step by step and deactivated the [Demon God] form.

Jiang Ran had told them beforehand that since he had already been corrupted by the rules, he might as well remove them after killing Jiang Bowen, thus avoiding one more problem.

Of course, Arceus and Alex knew that if anyone else killed Jiang Bowen, he would lose his divinity. Only Jiang Ran, the possessor of the core divinity, could reclaim this divinity!

From what Jiang Bowen said to Ye Ye before, it's easy to guess that he is a Fallen God.

Therefore, everyone was waiting for Jiang Bowen to lose his fighting ability so that Jiang Ran could be killed.

Jiang Bowen spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked up at the sky helplessly, unable to even commit suicide, because Jiang Ran had told him to forget about this matter.

"This damn world..."

"It's true, everyone wants me dead!"
