The birdman's talent is the SS-level "talk-no-jutsu" (a form of verbal persuasion
This ability allows him to persuade most of the strange creatures to use these dangerous beings for his own purposes!
Over the course of three hours, the vortex birdman continuously used his persuasive skills to subdue the strange creatures along the way, and he has now commanded a small army of fifteen strange creatures!
Thank you, my friends!
The vortex birdman threw the ballots into the ballot box: "Host, that's it!"
The host removed his mask, revealing a face covered in gray down. He then reached out and grabbed his own throat!
"Phase Three, Begin!"
He crushed his own neck!
Jiang Yaoyao instantly stood behind Jiang Ran, and Ji Cangshui also moved slightly towards Jiang Ran's direction.
The vortex birdman stood side by side with Arceus!
With the host dead, it's now a battle between the five ghost story tellers!
Two factions have clearly formed in the arena, led by two individuals with SSS-level talents!
Jiang Ran looked back at Jiang Yaoyao, who gave him a sweet smile.
The so-called "unity" is not solid. The five people present each have their own thoughts. Jiang Ran has no doubt that after the deaths of Arceus and the Vortex Birdman, Jiang Yaoyao and Ji Cangshui will stab him in the back!
But at least on the surface, they still have a big problem to solve.
"Hey, you birdman, why don't you join us and take down Arceus?"
Ji Cangshui directly ordered the vortex birdmen to defect on the front lines.
“No need.” The vortex birdman shook his head. “I believe everyone here is intelligent. Naturally, I need to deal with the most threatening person on the field first. Do you really think Mr. Arceus is more dangerous than Mr. Jiang Ran? I doubt it!”
“Mr. Arceus is a ‘sheep’! That means he can’t kill people to earn bonuses like we do. In that case, he only has one gambling table to replenish his bonuses. Facing ambushes every hour, it’s probably difficult enough for him to just stay alive!”
Such difficult conditions mean that Arceus could never ascend! In fact, he might only have one red flower left!
The two rounds lasted a total of six hours, which meant six ambushes. If Arceus wanted to survive, he had to win at least five betting matches. If he wanted to ascend, he had to win eight betting matches!
Putting aside whether Arceus can win, the key question is whether so many people are betting on him?
"The result is obvious. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Jiang Ran must have already ascended to immortality. In that case, since they are both SSS-level, I don't need to say more about who is more dangerous!"
"No, no, no, Mr. Whirlpool Birdman, you overestimate my abilities!" Jiang Ran replied with a smile. "I'm just one or two more red flowers than Alsh the Great. It's impossible for me to maintain my ascended state after six assassination attempts!"
"But you, with the power to ascend and the assistance of 15 strange individuals, aren't you far more useful than a mere SSS-level talent?"
Everyone wants to steer the situation in a direction that is more advantageous to themselves, but after weighing the pros and cons, no one changes their mind.
"Then let's go! Kill them!"
They've already broken off all pretense of civility, and the Whirlpool Birdman is too lazy to pretend to be a gentleman anymore!
The 15 strange creatures instantly went berserk. Five of them remained by the vortex birdman's side to protect him, while the remaining ten strange creatures pounced on the three of them!
"Burning with rage!"
Ji Cangshui's divine job is [Fire Wolf], which, like Qi Long's, is a combat-type divine job. In addition to having stronger physical attributes, he is also endowed with the ability to manipulate flames!
"drink!"
Ji Cangshui delivered a fiery punch to the chest of the short, zombie-like creature in front of him, severely injuring it with a single blow!
It was unrealistic to expect Ji Cangshui to withstand the attacks of ten strange creatures by himself. Gwen and the big black dog then joined the battle to share the burden. Unfortunately, Jiang Ran did not have any combat abilities at the moment, so he could not possibly rush in to his death.
The vortex birdman stared at Jiang Ran. At this point, he still hadn't shown his abilities. Could it be that this guy really hadn't ascended?
"Jiang Yaoyao! Do you have any fighting ability?"
Jiang Yaoyao stood by and watched the battle. Ji Cangshui shouted at her, but Jiang Yaoyao just shook her head helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. My talent is in verifying rules, and I only have three red flowers. I haven't ascended yet, so I really can't help much!"
Ji Cangshui single-handedly held off three strange creatures, as did Gwen, while the big black dog took on four at once!
Individually, none of these strange creatures were as strong as any one of the three of them, but there were just too many of them, and that was something that couldn't be helped.
“Mr. Arceus, since we are an alliance, and I have already sent a full 10 bizarre creatures to participate in the war, don’t you want to do something in return?”
The vortex birdman turned around and questioned Arceus behind him, who shrugged helplessly and said, "You know I haven't ascended. I'm okay with my brain, but asking me to fight is really giving me too much credit."
"Oh, really?" The vortex birdman narrowed his eyes. "So, you're useless then?"
The vortex birdman suddenly realized a fact: Jiang Ran, Jiang Yaoyao, and Arceus had not shown any combat ability so far. Perhaps they had not ascended, or perhaps their divine positions after ascension were not applicable to combat!
No matter how many schemes they have in their minds, the rules of the game are that simple: as long as they all die, you will win!
Since Arceus could not offer any help, he naturally could not be allowed to stay!
"Go ahead, give this man a quick death!"
The bizarre creature sent out by the Vortex Birdman is the Blade Demon, individual number 476. This demon is entirely shrouded in illusory mist, with only a sharp blade on each of its hands!
Blade Spirit is malevolent, but no matter what your element is, you'll have to succumb to its persuasive power; at most, it'll just take a little longer to finish the persuasion.
Although its combat power is not considered strong, it is certainly enough to deal with a human who is powerless to even kill a chicken!
"What a pity, Vortex Birdman. I was hoping to cooperate with you for a while." Arceus didn't pay any attention to the charging Blade Demon. Instead, he smiled slightly, and wisps of black mist emanated from his body.
"And what makes you think that only you can receive help from these strange creatures?"
A giant scythe fell, instantly cleaving the Blade Demon in two, its misty body vanishing completely!
Individual ID 069, Deceptive Scythe, Neutral!
The Ghost Scythe is a giant scythe covered in blood. Whenever a ghost storyteller touches its body, it will grant the ghost storyteller great power. Of course, this requires the ghost storyteller to pay a lot of blood!
However, just as Jiang Ran could sign a contract with the contract doll using an unconventional method, this wasn't the first time Arceus and the Ghost Scythe had met, and they had naturally agreed on other conditions to avoid paying too much blood.
Arthas preferred to call his old friend by another name rather than "the Deceptive Scythe"—
"Go, Laaste!"
