Chapter 128 Power vs. Power
Ta-da, ta-da.
There was no sound on the screen, but the black-haired girl's feet could be seen creating tiny dots of nothingness. All the strangeness dissipated there, and no more fog could linger around her.
At this moment, all abnormal rules are prohibited from taking effect, and even the inevitable punishment is delayed indefinitely.
Because she walked towards humans, nothing happened. Even the serious injuries on Liu Ping'an's legs were twisted into a relatively intact appearance, with only a few spots of redness, swelling and bloodstains left.
"Did you twist your ankle?" Chen Xiao'er held Liu Ping'an's arm and asked worriedly, "How about I take you back to the car first?"
“…No need.” Liu Ping’an’s smile was so painful that it looked like she was crying. She replied softly, “I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Of course, the investigation into the truth behind the death was originally initiated by me.
"Okay!" Chen Xiao'er carefully helped her to the bench beside the courtyard and looked towards the factory.
She was just about to discuss with Liu Ping'an whether to call the school or go to the nearest infirmary in the factory when she saw the lights on in the tall building behind the factory.
It was around 7 or 8 in the morning, the sun shrouded in haze. The two golden beams of light only illuminated a vague figure, a tall woman.
…
The screens at the monitoring center are covered with layer upon layer of filters, using various methods to weaken the impact of looking directly at the "gods".
If Chen Xiao'er hadn't been there, those pixelated images would have disintegrated most of the display screens, physically disconnecting them.
The fuzzy crown floated in the air, and the "god" under the power finally couldn't help but reveal his true face.
He emerged from the pure energy, his dazzling core shining brightly in the air. It was the pure power of the abyss that was more concentrated than any man-made energy stone.
“——”
He tells the bold challenger something, stirring the soul in the way of a creature of the abyss, sending out waves of vibrations and transmitting messages through waveforms.
Even if they cannot hear the specific voice, experts can roughly understand what He means at the soul level: Those who cannot intervene in the competition of the rules, this power has nothing to do with you!
After all, He—it was trying to foster authority over rules. How could someone who disregarded them master them? So, as long as Chen Xiao'er didn't show any tendency to undermine that authority, it would rather negotiate peace.
Judging from the human thinking pattern, it should be similar content.
…
"Leave, Chen Xiao'er."
The tall woman stood in the light, her hands resting on the railing, and declared disdainfully to the girl below: "Others can come in, but you can't."
?
Chen Xiao'er felt her face flush, unable to tell whether it was anger or confusion. This again? Was I being targeted again?
"Xiao'er?" Ling's hand was flung away. She subconsciously tried to grab it, but withdrew her hand amid the girl's raging anger, and quietly watched the scene she still couldn't understand.
Chen Xiao'er strode forward: This time it was no longer an uncertain guess, but a 100% declaration.
He was clearly a stranger whom I had never met before, and the director of a food factory with whom I had no connection at all, but he could still say my name directly and said, "Only you can't do that."
She took a deep breath and asked loudly to the sky: "Why—"
Is it because of the Chen family? Is it because of family feuds, plots, or the death of that student? What are you so afraid of? Tell me straight up!
The person on the platform seemed to be brewing some emotions. After a long time, the serious voice of an adult woman pierced the air.
"You're not really here to work. I don't see any need for you to come in."
"You have absolutely nothing to do with the power of rules. You instinctively reject my rules. There's no need for us to fight to the death."
Whether it wins or loses the battle with other contenders, let alone its confidence in victory, even if it really loses, the power that is finally born is still [Rules].
This is the result of its efforts and its ultimate goal, and it will never allow any living creature to trample on it.
“Who, who…”
A surge of pride surged in her chest, the vigorous will and pride of a young man. Chen Xiao'er took a running step towards the factory building, running all the way to where she was standing directly below her.
She was clearly roaring while looking up, but the roar seemed to slowly press in from above. "Who said I wasn't sincere? I'm telling you right now! I want to participate in this work with all my heart!!"
…
Boom, boom, boom!
The clouds were rolling, the outline of the crown was still clear, but the mist below it was slowly parting as it rolled.
"That's..." The person in the monitoring center stood up.
They saw two rows of golden glass display cases rising towards each other in the sky!
These two rows of display cabinets are completely in the style of the technological age - the brilliant golden age of mankind. They are surrounded by solid metal and filled with the simple beauty of geometric shapes.
Click, click, click.
Tiny cracking sounds rang out from the spiritual level. It was a profound fluctuation, condensing into pure gold chess pieces one by one within the fluctuation.
Even if there are no numbers or animals on the chess pieces, and they are just "chess pieces" themselves, they can intuitively understand what they represent.
The chess piece on the left belongs to the Anomaly Overlord, an anomaly under its control, and perhaps a small number of humans.
The chess pieces on the right side are from Chen Xiao'er's side. The number of chess pieces is exactly the same as the number of students from Class A who entered and the early investigators who sneaked in, a total of 156 pieces.
Behind two piles of pure gold chess pieces, two completely different symbols slowly materialized.
Layers of electric arcs flashed on the left, and a blood-red tower rose from the arcs and blood mist, with golden tears dripping from the cracks around it.
A breeze blew on the right side, and a pale flame burned out a light blue star in the clear sky. The star was suspended in the transparent pillar, sparkling in the clear ocean current.
King versus King
This is a declaration of war from king to king, and a declaration from "god" to "god".
The people who witnessed this scene held their breath, as if the beasts on the vast earth raised their heads and watched a young child in white gauze walk out from among them and merge with another child coming on the waves at the boundary between water and sky.
Throughout the long course of time, human beings have been favored by the world, but have also been easily abandoned after the flow of will.
Unexpectedly, at this malicious poker table, there was still a human being who was allowed to win "fairly" and lead them closer to the stairs to climb.
Looking directly at the "God" and the behemoth of the abyss will burn the naked eyes, but when they look up at the scene of this vast intersection of energy, only crystal tears flow from the corners of their eyes.
Ling's hands clenched slightly, and in his ice-blue eyes there were only Chen Xiao'er's sparkling eyes.
Childish gods confront childish gods.
Just wait for a response, and this "equal" bet will be witnessed by the world and then realized one by one.
They looked at the Abnormal Overlord nervously. Would He...will He agree?
The answer is of course.
The nature of the situation changed again. This was not a greedy robber who was trying to get his hands on the fruits that the owner had worked so hard to produce, but another rich man who came at night with a large sum of money.
She threw out her cards and smiled triumphantly, so He—
…
"Okay, I recognize your will."
"Okay, I agree to this match." The tall woman looked down at her and said coldly, "Do your best to come to me. I might be interested in chatting with you."
"Use the rules to approach me. Let's engage in a battle that will gather all our energy and consume me."
At the moment she promised, the two chess piece symbols finally fully materialized and descended upon the void with a loud bang.
The glass cabinets were simply unable to hold such expensive symbols; their bases were solidified between the golden chess pieces, while the main bodies hovered just below the crown, facing each other from a distance.
The shadow of the crown floats on their midline, like a faithful witness holding the laurel wreath belonging to the winner.
…
Phew~ I finally got permission to go in.
The heat on Chen Xiao'er's cheeks slowly subsided. She looked at the factory director's back as he left, feeling lucky: If such a powerful person told me to get out, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
She breathed a sigh of relief and put on a relaxed smile again. She turned around and found that everyone except her senior was looking at her with strange eyes.
The students' gazes were too intense, filled with many ambiguous emotions, as if they had seen something extremely shocking.
Chen Xiao'er shook her shoulders and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"
Did I miss something, or did I do something wrong...
"Student Chen." Zheng Xiuli took a breath. "Thank you, thank you for coming in with us."
"Uh~ You're welcome."
Chen Xiao'er smiled embarrassedly and quietly put her arm around Ling's wrist, and Ling quickly held her hand back.
Watching their backs as they headed towards the factory, both the students and the monitoring center were silent.
She didn't need to intervene in this battle. Judging from her previous performance, the still-emerging rule power didn't have a higher priority than her.
Perhaps the students' efforts would be in vain, because before Chen Xiao'er entered the game, the symbol of the abnormal master had not fallen onto the chessboard.
They may need to put in more effort and use more chips to tilt the scales before they can touch the symbol behind it at some point.
If it weren't for Chen Xiao'er, the three knight orders and their affiliated rejection teams surrounding the abnormal area would have been involved in the subsequent battle. It would have been a tragic battle in which humans would fight against gods.
In order to seize and destroy as many abnormal stairways to the gods as possible, or even just to delay them for a while, humans will do everything they can.
Because of Chen Xiao'er's existence, the chips on both sides of the scale are now equal.
All students have the possibility to launch an attack on the abnormal master, and they have just observed that Liu Ping'an, who triggered the death penalty, turned into a chess piece and merged into the glass cabinet in the sky.
If their guess is correct, the students who "die" in the gambling game will not really die, but will be temporarily sealed as chess pieces, waiting for the final settlement of the gambling game.
And the price of all this will be paid by Chen Xiao'er: anomalies can also use the rules to hurt her.
As she dragged the gods onto the chessboard, she herself became a chess piece and participated in this grand fight.
The red light in the monitoring center gradually went out and turned to orange mode.
An order flashed across the screen.
[C: Create a new file for Chen Xiao'er in the infinite file cabinet. This file is at the "overlimit" level.]
【C: Relevant personnel, please contact me after this operation is completed.】
Milo, who was sitting in the car, also saw this line of text on the laptop, so she could be considered a related person.
[“More and more people are convinced of her value.”] The devil chuckled in her mind.
Yes, it is of great value, perhaps the first or even the only genuine ticket for mankind.
Milo pulled out a candy stick from the carton, bit it hard in his mouth, and let the powdered sugar roll on the tip of his tongue.
If the consequences of the Genesis Plan had not been so tragic, perhaps someone would have proposed restarting the plan.
“No.”
The devil sang in a bewitching aria, [“Because mankind~ has already possessed a brand new faith. How glorious, how great He is, like a child’s unconditional admiration, like a lover’s selfless devotion, like a mother’s limitless preference~”]
"Human gods will never be able to defeat man-made gods, Miroku."
"And I hate that."
Really? Milo chewed the powdered sugar silently, then smiled at the gorgeous light and shadow in the sky.
I like humans.
"I like humans."
I like saviors who are full of light.
“I like a savior who is full of light.”
I--
"Chen Xiao'er."
puff.
The eyes behind the lenses were smiling into a line, and the driver was so focused on the narrow guide line that he didn't notice that the passenger was laughing so hard that he was shaking with laughter.
"What are you thinking, devil?"
Black gloves wiped away the mist from his lenses, and Milo's golden pupils shone brightly. "I just want to say that I believe in Chen Xiao'er. She..."
You will definitely win.
The devil said nothing.
