"Three against three."
Shan Shang threw out two cards and glanced at Yang Hai across the card table.
"It looks like this ghost story world is nearing its end. The fighting outside is really fierce; I can hear the commotion from several streets away."
Yang Hai glanced at the two cards in his hand and frowned slightly.
"I can't afford it."
Alex looked at the two dice in Jiang Ran's hand and a bad feeling inexplicably rose up!
What is that thing? Why was there no prior information about it, and why has Jiang Ran never used it in any supernatural tale world?
When did he obtain these items? Could it be the talent he won in this draw? No, where did those technological weapons come from?
The dice were tossed up and down by Jiang Ran, seemingly unaffected by the world, and came to rest on the battlefield after spinning.
Both dice have a six on them!
“It seems that fate is indeed on my side.” Jiang Ran bowed slightly, bending his arm as if in a gentleman’s greeting. “Alex, you can start your escape now.”
A giant tentacle danced wildly across the battlefield. Hong Ping punched the tentacle with all his might, breaking it off, but he was still thrown back several steps by the huge impact!
“Brother, it seems things are a bit chaotic here.” Planck waved his severed tentacle, and in less than a second, the right arm of the tentacle grew back. “But if there’s a problem, calling me was the right choice.”
"Now that I'm no longer the captain, I need to find something to do, right?"
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, brother!"
You can rest assured about what I do!
"What kind of monster is this..." Hong Ping muttered, then engaged in a fierce battle with Planck!
Ginger soup stretched its arm upwards, summoning a small area of rain. This rain would restore the health and heal the wounds of friendly units, but it was a corrosive liquid for the enemy, constantly worsening their condition!
If this were not a small battle, but a war involving tens or hundreds of thousands of people, this capability would be decisive!
The next moment, the entire sky darkened, and countless threads wove together a dense, impenetrable net, blocking out the rain and light!
A small hand tugged at Jiang Ran's clothes.
"Brother Jiang Ran, Alice has found you."
"Hmm, well done."
Although Alex resurrected two near-gods single-handedly, he also left himself in a semi-crippled state, his mental energy almost completely depleted, and his condition was even worse than Yu Cheng's. Even if he continued to join the battle, he would only be equivalent to a [Demon King] level.
On Jiang Ran's side, Yu Cheng still had at least half of his fighting strength, and he himself had only consumed a small portion of his mental energy. Hong Ping was restrained by Planck, Jiang Tang faced off against Alice, and on another battlefield, Li Long fought against Gwen, while Zhao Tiao and Rusger were evenly matched.
With all the high-end combat forces of the three chairmen's side tied down, Jiang Ran's side was able to free up one and a half. Unless Alex could pull off some more cheats, the outcome of the battle was already decided!
Alex seemed somewhat reluctant to take the red pill out of his pocket, and just as he was about to serve him, he stopped and put the pill back in his pocket.
He smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and left the battlefield.
“Perhaps you are more qualified than me to meet those beings, but just because you have surpassed me now does not mean you will always surpass me. I will catch up with you, Jiang Ran.”
"In the end, I, Yang Kaixu, will definitely be the one standing at the top."
The battlefield situation reversed instantly! With Jiang Ran and Yu Cheng's spare combat power, the two first helped Gwen deal with Li Long, and then, like a tidal wave, they could not be stopped, annihilating all the [Near God] members of the three committee chairmen's side one by one!
These people had the opportunity to escape, but they all chose to fight to the death!
"The demons are resurrected, everything will be destroyed, and my death here today is merely a matter of dying a little sooner..."
Who is right and who is wrong? Who can really say for sure? It's just a difference in perspective. Both sides have their own reasons. However, an enemy worthy of respect is still an enemy. Jiang Ran is clear about his own position.
From the moment he wanted to revive Aisha, he was bound to become the enemy of the three chairmen. If he had softened his heart, the demon apostle would have been annihilated today!
"Clean up the battlefield! Call back the inheritors and the lower-ranking personnel, and tell them we have won! The sacrifice of the three Grand Apostles was worthwhile, and the Demon Lord will surely be resurrected!"
The fanatical survivors of the demon apostles raised their arms and shouted!
"At the same time, we would like to pay our highest respects to the few who lent us a helping hand; you will be our friends forever!"
In the now-ruined headquarters, Jiang Ran sat on a chair he had created, facing a Demon Apostle at the peak of the [Ghost King] level. He was the current leader of the Demon Apostles and the new Chief Apostle.
He was not a near-god, so he was inevitably nervous when facing Jiang Ran. However, he did not feel superior to others because he had succeeded to the position of chief apostle, and he remained humble.
“Mr. Jiang Ran, these are the 12 seals that the former chief apostle promised you. We are now handing them over to you, and you don’t need to rush to return them to us.”
"Don't worry, I will return it to you as soon as possible if possible."
"We will have Luo Wukuang begin setting up the ritual for the Demon Lord's resurrection, and at the same time send members to collect the remaining seals. We can now mobilize all our forces without worrying about being assassinated by their powerful figures!"
Jiang Ran gently moved his arm, and a row of mechanically beautiful pistols were neatly arranged on the ground.
"This pistol absorbs your blood as a source of bullets. Each bullet can put a [Demon King] into a ten-second sleep. I think you know very well what that means in an encounter."
"Bring the other seals back as soon as possible, and revive the Demon Lord. Tell them not to fire more than three bullets at once, or they will faint from lack of blood."
If Jiang Ran wanted to mass-produce weapons, he had no choice but to choose weapons with negative effects, otherwise his mental energy would be depleted.
"This is simply a divine artifact! I will equip every squad leader with one of these pistols! Mr. Jiang Ran, we will complete the ceremony as soon as possible and await your return to carry out the final step of the revival!"
"Um."
Jiang Ran held the 12 seals in his hand. Next, he would exchange them for information on all the important characters in the story! After that, he would have to find a way to get the seals back from the referee. If possible, he would immediately return to revive Aisha. If not, there was no other way. At least he could clear this SSS-level ghost story world.
