Under the influence of the [Prophet of the Wolf], the surrounding environment began to return to normal. The effects of Arceus's talent and divine authority could not affect Jiang Ran, and it seemed that defeat was inevitable!

"Laast! Give me one last helping hand!"

Now that everything has returned to the time before Arceus used his abilities, even without divine authority and talent, Arceus still has one ultimate trump card!

Gwen and the big black dog also stood in front of Jiang Ran!

"Damn it, I shouldn't have gotten on your pirate ship," the big black dog grumbled. "I didn't get any benefits, and now I have to work for you! I should have just run away in the first place!"

That won't work now. Things have really gotten heated. Big Black Dog is determined to get his revenge! We can always run away when we're really losing!

The scythe returned to Arceus's hands, and Arceus regained his confidence. Since his other talents and divine abilities were useless, he would just crush them with his strength!

Gwen and the big black dog are both quite strong, but they are still a level below the Ghost Scythe!

"The yellow dog is peeing!"

The big black dog applied the buff first. Previously, even with three people attacking together, they couldn't defeat Arceus, who wielded the scythe. Now that Ji Cangshui is gone, their chances of winning are even lower!

Arceus slammed his scythe into Gwen's scissors. Gwen gritted her teeth and took a half step back. The force of the attack was too heavy. She couldn't gain any advantage in close combat!

"Arcius! Your talent has been fully displayed, now it's my turn!"

Jiang Ran raised his right hand, and Arceus caught a glimpse of what appeared to be two green lumps in his hand!

As a one-time ability, it requires almost an entire game to find the password to open. Once such a treasure trove is opened, it will probably have absolute dominance over any situation!

【Nico's Help】: Collect two and use them on a strange creature to upgrade it to two stars, greatly increasing its strength!

"Gwen! Catch this! Don't say I'm withholding your wages!"

"What is this thing?"

Arthas reacted quickly, leaping forward to try and stop the two things, but they pierced right through his body and headed straight for Gwen!

If something of this caliber could be stopped so easily, it wouldn't be so valuable!

Two [Neeko's Help] merged into Gwen's body, and Arceus turned around and swung his scythe. Gwen should have dodged, but the power flowing through her body made her take the blow head-on!

The sickle and the scissors collided, and both sides took several steps back!

A draw? Gwen was incredulous. No, it wasn't just that! She had only just become accustomed to the sudden power she possessed. Once she mastered it—

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The scissors danced rapidly, and for a moment they actually turned the tables and suppressed Arceus. Seeing that there was a chance, the big black dog also rushed over to lend a hand!

With the addition of the big black dog, Arceus could no longer fight against two strange creatures at the same time. The scythe went berserk again and burst out of Arceus's hand!

No matter how temporary the cooperation is, it cannot change the nature of the strange creature. The scythe itself is extremely irritable and naturally cannot tolerate being suppressed and beaten by Arceus!

Gwen had been waiting for this opportunity. She quickly stopped the Scythe, who tried to use the same trick again to unleash a blood storm. But Gwen was no longer the same person she used to be. She seized the opportunity and threw the scissors in her hand!

The scissors pierced Arceus's chest, pinning him directly to the large tree behind him!

The intense pain nearly made him faint, and Arceus could only sigh. Had he ultimately lost this battle?

"Let's go... Rhaast, you don't need to worry about me anymore..."

Jiang Ran walked to Arceus's side. This so-called number one ghost storyteller in the White Eagle indeed had extremely terrifying abilities. He could even win 5 consecutive betting tables without relying on talent or divine authority!

Perhaps the help of the grotesque creature played a part, but Jiang Ran also had Gwen's help, so you can't really say anything about Arceus in that regard. Moreover, being able to get help from a strange creature can also be considered a personal ability.

"Farewell, Arceus. You are a worthy opponent, but I also have reasons to kill you."

“Coming here is about fair competition. Whether it’s strength or luck, there are no excuses. If you lose, you lose.” Arceus opened his eyes halfway and spat out a mouthful of blood. “Jiang Ran, I used to think I stood at the pinnacle of human ghost storytellers, but now it seems I was too arrogant.”

"Have you noticed that there are more and more raid instances in the past year?" Arceus, barely clinging to his last breath, told Jiang Ran his guess. "When Blue Star first established a connection with the Strange Tales World, I remember there were only solo instances back then, right?"

Jiang Ran searched through his memories and nodded: "That's right, the first team instance appeared around the third month of the second year, and at that time it could only accommodate ten people."

“I have a guess…” Arceus continued, “The reason why there are more raid instances is because we are getting closer and closer to the world of ghost stories, so we can accommodate more of our people at once.”

"In other words, the two dimensions of Earth and the world of supernatural tales are constantly approaching each other, and perhaps one day in the future—bang! The two worlds will collide..."

"So I want to create a real organization for ghost story enthusiasts! Right now, everyone else is too superficial; they only work for their own country! The organization I want to build will attract famous ghost story enthusiasts from all over the world, forming a true human alliance!"

Arceus was already out of breath and his words were somewhat incoherent. He was no longer speaking to Jiang Ran as Arceus, the ghost storyteller from the White Eagle Kingdom, but as the human ghost storyteller Arceus!

"Unfortunately, I can't do that yet. The country suspects that I want to cause separatism and has even sent so-called bodyguards to monitor me 24 hours a day. They are unwilling to give up such a useful 'pawn' as me. Is my reputation not good enough?"

"I wanted to take you down in this world war, to propel my fame to new heights, and maybe then I'd have more opportunities to make moves... cough cough, but looking back now, I was just being too optimistic..."

Jiang Ran didn't speak, but simply watched the man in front of her breathe his last.

[Congratulations to Jiang Ran, the Ghost Storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, for clearing the SS-level Ghost Story World: Wolf and Sheep Game, with an overall rating of 100 points, perfect!]
