Hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned.

"What do you mean? Do we have to decide whether to live or die?" Lin Qiye shook his head decisively, "This is impossible. Wait, I will use the Holy Grail to take you out."

Lin Qiye took out Mumu and was about to speak when Si Xiaonan interrupted him:

"The King's [Holy Grail] consumes sacrifices every time it is used, so you should save it for the most critical moment... Don't worry, I just need to die for a while."

Lin Qiye: “……?”

Si Xiaonan explained weakly: "I can make up a 'trick' to deceive my body and put my physiological functions into a dead state. After I leave here, I can untie it and revive it. It can last about ten seconds.

Faking my own death is not a difficult thing for me."

Lin Qiye looked at her in astonishment, "Is it really possible? Will there be any problems?"

"No." Si Xiaonan held the dagger in his palm with his backhand. A strand of black silk thread floated out from his heart, weaving something quickly.

"See you outside the arena."

She forced a smile at the corner of her pale mouth, and suddenly stabbed the dagger into her heart. Her body shook, and scarlet blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Qiye subconsciously wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

As her eyes gradually blurred, her heart finally fell into silence.

In the gray and white world, only Lin Qiye was left standing there, staring blankly at Si Xiaonan's body lying in a pool of blood.

Bang!

A soft sound was heard from the sky, and the sky covered by gray gauze was like broken glass, crumbling into pieces, and everything around Lin Qiye began to distort.

After detecting that Lin Qiye was the only survivor in this world, the [Gray and White Arena] automatically opened. Lin Qiye felt dizzy and his figure returned to the dense forest.

The destruction caused by the battle with Phil seemed to have never appeared. The tall trees swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds. On the ground not far away, the bodies of several agents fell in a mess, without any sign of life.

Lin Qiye stared at Si Xiaonan, who was also dead in front of him, and his heart was in his throat.

He counted the time silently in his mind, and when he counted to the tenth second, the black rune on Si Xiaonan's chest suddenly shattered, the "trick" was broken, and the wound in the heart pierced by the dagger disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and it began to beat slowly again.

Si Xiaonan suddenly opened his eyes, breathing in deep gulps of air, his face pale without a trace of blood.

Her eyes slowly moved, looking at Lin Qiye who was relieved beside her, and said with a smile: "Qiye...can you carry me on your back? I can't even move a finger."

Without saying a word, Lin Qiye carried Si Xiaonan on his back, and scanned her body with his spiritual power. He said with a serious expression, "Why are you injured so badly?"

"...It's a long story." Si Xiaonan's voice was like a mosquito whispering in Lin Qiye's ear, and his eyes closed uncontrollably, "I... need to... sleep for a while first..."

Before he finished speaking, Si Xiaonan's head sank and he fell into a deep sleep.

After Lin Qiye confirmed that her life was not in danger for the time being, he heaved a long sigh of relief. He carried Si Xiaonan on his back, picked up the piece of [Gray and White Arena] fragment from Phil's body not far away, and gave it to Mu Mu to swallow. Since this thing was a fragment of a divine artifact, it would come in handy sooner or later.

After doing all this, Lin Qiye first cast a layer of transformation magic on himself to give himself perfect camouflage, and then he carried Si Xiaonan on his back and quickly walked out of the dense forest.

…

Fog.

Above the rough sea, a pixel-style cruise ship cuts through the waves and moves slowly forward in the darkness.

"It's almost there."

In the cabin, the knight held a map in his hand, stared at the sea outside the glass, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Is this Asgard?" Jiang Er asked curiously.

"No, this is the entrance to Asgard's 'Human Circle'." The knight shook his head.

"'Human Circle'? But weren't Nanaya and Kinmen taken to Asgard? Why should we go to the 'Human Circle'?"

"Asgard is the kingdom of the Norse gods. We definitely can't enter from the front." An Qingyu pushed his glasses and explained seriously, "That place is not an abandoned heaven or hell, nor is it the long-destroyed Takama-ga-hara. Asgard is home to hundreds of gods. If we rashly enter from the front, it would be like walking into a trap."

"That's right. Before he left, the president left a message that the Rainbow Bridge, the only passage between Asgard and the outside world, has been closed. Even if we want to enter through the main gate, we can't. We can only go through the 'human circle'." The knight paused and continued.

"And this route is more beneficial to us. After all, over the years, we, the Shangxie Society, have infiltrated the 'human circles' of the major divine kingdoms. By taking the 'human circle' route, we are sure that we will not be discovered by the Nordic gods."

"But even so, we still have to enter Asgard." Baili Pangpang reminded, "How are we going to rescue Qiye and the others from the Nordic Kingdom of Gods? Do you have a plan?"

An Qingyu turned to look at the knight, as if waiting for his reply.

Since Shangxie dared to propose going to Asgard to rescue people, he must have something to rely on. Otherwise, all of them humans combined might not be enough to be killed by two or three gods.

The knight pondered for a moment and turned to look at the bow of the pixel cruise ship.

On the front deck of the cruise ship, four figures were standing silently in the fog, staring at the sea in the distance. They were of different heights, weights and bodies, with the corners of their black clothes fluttering in the wind. The only thing they had in common was that they all wore different pale masks on their faces.

A smiling face, a crying face, an angry face, and a sad face.

"They are..." Cao Yuan felt the terrifying aura coming from them and asked in confusion.

"They are the four special envoys of the Shangxie Society." The knight introduced, "We have a total of thirteen special envoys in the Shangxie Society, but only the first four are the real top powerhouses, and the highest combat power under the president.

If the four of them join forces, even the president may not be able to win."

An Qingyu raised his eyebrows. "It is indeed rare to have combat power comparable to the ceiling level of humans, but if I may be frank, this is still far from what we are going to do..."

"I know."

The knight nodded, walked to a place on the deck, and solemnly took out a black box half a person's height from a secret compartment.

He placed the black box on the table, pressed the buckle, and the lid of the black box popped up automatically.

A huge dark golden horn was lying quietly in it.

"This is..." Baili Pangpang asked in confusion.

"This is Asgard's 'Supreme' artifact, [Gallard]."
