Li Yuebai could tell from the system's tone that the Lord God agreed.

In fact, the system has exposed a fact long ago, that is - there are many systems in this world, one more or one less will not make any difference.

At that time, Li Yuebai asked it a question: In the first play of "The Musicians in the Capital", is the system that accompanied me the same as you?

It cunningly avoided the question, and then answered: I have nothing to tell you, there are so many worlds and so many hosts...

There are so many worlds, so many hosts, and of course there are also... so many systems!

At the same time, the system has also revealed that the system may not stand on the side of the host, and may not advance or retreat with the host.

"System, you have always been on the opposite side of me..." Li Yuebai said, "At first I didn't understand why it was like this, but then I heard the word 'interesting', and then I understood."

“…”

"The Lord God wants to see interesting plot developments. As a system, you use all means to tease your host in order to please the Lord God and create interesting twists and turns." Li Yuebai smiled: "Should I say you are dedicated or unprofessional?"

"This... Is this wrong? Can't the Supreme God see my loyalty?" The system's stammering voice was full of grievance.

"Since you don't regard your host as a human being, then don't blame the Lord God for not regarding you as a subordinate." Li Yuebai sighed: "You said that the Lord God's purpose is just entertainment, just wanting to see interesting plots, so the duel between the host and the system is of course the most interesting. Why would the Lord God miss such an interesting thing? Since the Lord God has countless subordinates and countless systems, why would the Lord God care about the life and death of a system like you?"

“But…but…”

"No buts, sorry, I have to get rid of you." Li Yuebai said, "You have already killed Ye Qing once. If I keep you, there will be a second and third time."

Lying on his back, immersed in the dark and deep pool, breathing carefully. Li Yuebai did not dare to look at Ye Qing's situation, and could only look up to the sky. Where was the Lord God? The end of the universe?

Until a new voice exploded in his mind.

"Hello, I'm the Judge." The new voice was emotionless: "Li Yuebai, you made a request to the Lord God, and the request was approved. You have been given a chance to shut down the system. When the system is shut down, I will exercise all its powers on its behalf."

"Thank you."

"I hope the host understands that in countless worlds, no host has ever dared to make such a bold request, and this is the first time that the Lord God has agreed to such a request." The judge said: "So, of course the Lord God can't let you shut down the system so easily - it's not that easy."

"I understand." Li Yuebai nodded.

He knew that the Lord God would agree, and he also knew that what followed would not be easy.

"The Lord wants to see a duel," said the Judge. "Take your lives as the stakes."

Duel?

Li Yuebai almost laughed out loud.

Until now, this aggressive word has never had anything to do with me.

Besides, even if a duel really had to take place, the opponent should be a human, or at least a vampire.

I didn't expect that I would have to duel with this hateful system of mine. This method was too much of an overrepresentation of the system.

However, I didn't want to refuse.

Until now, the system has always been hidden - it has no shape, no appearance, no life. It only hides behind one's own brain, deep in one's own heart, and uses vicious words to control the course of events, which is really suffocating.

If we can beat it up quickly, with real knives and guns, and stop when blood is drawn, that would be the best.

So, how to fight?

"Host, the solution is of course very simple, that is to make the system materialized." The judge said: "If you agree, the system will appear in the form of a certain creature. If you can kill that creature, you win and have the right to shut down the system."

"The system is materializing..." Li Yuebai instinctively began to worry: "This method is too uncontrollable. If the system turns into a child, I won't be able to do anything to it."

"The judges have also considered that this situation would be unfair, and therefore will restrict the system and will not allow it to appear in human form," the judge said.

"Thank you." Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please rest assured, host and system, this duel will be fair. The system's form will not be too strong, and the gap in strength will not be too great." The judge said: "I also hope that the host will not make any more requests. The Lord God is willing to agree to your request, which is already an extra favor. Please obey the Lord God's arrangements for everything that comes next."

Li Yuebai nodded silently.

"Okay, the venue is being prepared for you," said the judge.

Where is the venue?

Li Yuebai looked at the dark sky and the dark pool, and couldn't guess what kind of place there could be.

"Under the witness of the Judge, the host will wage war against his system here." The Judge announced in a calm voice: "The venue is here."

Right here?

Li Yuebai rolled over in the water with great difficulty, but the resistance in the water was too great and he was unable to exert any strength.

Moreover, it was fine above the water surface, but below the water surface, he couldn't even hear any sound.

If the duel was right here, I would be at an absolute disadvantage.

Don’t know what form the system will take?

While he was guessing, Li Yuebai heard an unusual turbulent sound in the water.

Li Yuebai suddenly tensed his body, turned around in the water, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Something broke through the water and came straight towards him.

It was a tentacle.

The tentacles, as thick as arms, appeared a terrifying pink in the moonlight and had suction cups on them.

It was so fast that Li Yuebai had no time to dodge before he felt the cold and sticky tentacle wrap around his neck and then tighten.

"Dear host." The system's voice sounded again: "I am really sorry to contact you in this form..."

The voice was no different from before, and there was still no apology in the tone.

Its form became increasingly clear—it was an aquatic mollusk, no bigger than a human, a bit like an octopus, with eight tentacles.

Its unpleasant appearance is very consistent with its unpleasant behavior.

Li Yuebai sneered silently, reached to his waist and took out a knife.

He didn't have many weapons with him. His gun was no longer usable, so he could only use a knife in the water.

The resistance of the water was great, so it took twice as much strength as usual to swing the knife, but the blade was still very sharp, and with one swing, the tentacle was cut off.

Blue blood oozed from the fractured surface, and the system retracted its tentacles in disbelief.

Li Yuebai vigilantly put the knife in front of him and took a defensive posture. At the same time, he began to seriously consider what the judge meant by "fairness".

It is obvious that in the current environment, the system is the one that is more likely to win, as can be seen from its complacent attitude.

Is this duel really fair? Or does the Lord simply want to watch a tentacle game?

Even worse, the tentacles can regenerate.

Li Yue watched in dismay as the tentacles that he had just cut off quickly grew again and attacked him even faster.

A few silver lights flashed, and two more tentacles were chopped off by Li Yuebai, but it was useless.

"Judge, how can we kill it?" Li Yuebai suppressed his anger and said, "It is impossible to kill it."

"Host, please think of a vampire." The judge replied.

Vampires... Yes, the theme of this world is vampires.

Li Yuebai recalled the scene of his first battle with a vampire. Vampires also have extremely strong self-healing abilities. Whether it is a wound or a missing limb, they can heal quickly and seem invincible... However, vampires have weaknesses, which are the heart and brain. As long as pure silver is used to attack there, the vampire will die.

The current system...

Li Yuebai concentrated his attention, hiding, swinging his sword, and observing this ferocious tentacle creature - its color was pink, its body was translucent, and its brain and heart could be vaguely seen - it had a brain and four hearts.

And there is only one knife.

Moreover, the brain and heart are hidden deep inside, and the knife is too long to reach them.

"Dear host, I have to admit that I don't like this." The system sighed hypocritically: "Fortunately, this is only a temporary materialization. After this battle, I will restore my identity as a system again... Give up, you can't kill me."

These sounds did not come from the tentacle creatures, but were transmitted directly into Li Yuebai's brain as before.

As the system said this, it once again used several tentacles to wrap around Li Yuebai's waist and tightened it.

It is quite powerful. If it continues to tighten like this, the ribs may break.

This shouldn't be the case. Li Yuebai frowned secretly, exerted force on his hand, and the knife pierced a deep wound on his tentacles, and then watched it heal with his eyes wide open.

"Judge, are the initial conditions of this battle really fair?" Li Yuebai asked again.

"Host, please don't make unnecessary complaints." The judge replied.

"I'm not complaining, I'm just asking." Li Yuebai insisted.

"Yes, it's fair," the judge emphasized.

That's right.

Given such a huge disparity in physical abilities, if the judge still insists that this fight is fair, it only means that he still has a trump card that he has yet to use.

What kind of killer weapon is it?

"Judge, do you mean... that I can ask my companions for help?" Li Yuebai finally thought of this very important thing.

"Yes," the judge replied.

The system sneered.

Li Yuebai knew very well what the system was sneering at.

Ye Qing is now fighting against countless vampires alone, how could he possibly have time to come here and help me?

But even if you can't spare the time, there are some things you can do.

Thinking carefully, there are two things about Ye Qing that I haven't figured out yet.

The first thing was that when Ye Qing just turned into a vampire, he used some strange spell to make himself dizzy - Ye Qing did not use any violent means, but just snapped his fingers lightly, and then his respiratory tract was filled with ether, and then he fell into a coma.

The second thing was that when he was surrounded and chased by vampires in a suburban square, he sent a message for help to Ye Qing. Ye Qing first asked for his coordinates, and then created an inexplicable explosion, successfully helping him out of the predicament.

The inexplicable coma, the inexplicable explosion, until now, Li Yuebai still doesn’t know how to explain these two things.

Could it be a spell unique to Joker?

There is no time to hesitate.

Li Yuebai suddenly cut off a tentacle that was wrapped around his waist, turned around and swam towards the surface of the water.

The tentacles were chasing after him relentlessly, and just as Li Yuebai surfaced, his ankles were entangled again.

The tentacle creature, or system, was right below Li Yuebai, grabbing him tightly and trying to drag him under the water.

Li Yuebai tried his best to keep his face above the water, and shouted to the distant ruins with all his might: "Xiao Ye!"

There was darkness in the distance, and in the darkness there were countless vampire figures, as well as Ye Qing's figure.

Vampires are very sensitive to vila's voice, Ye Qing must have heard it.

However, even though I heard it, I was still not very clear about my position.

Li Yuebai reached into his arms, pulled out the discarded pistol that had long been soaked in water, and threw it with all his might directly over his head.

The pistol was coated with a layer of pure silver, shining as new, and reflecting a dazzling white light under the moonlight.

As long as Ye Qing looks in this direction, he will definitely see it.

"Did you see the flash? Five meters below the water surface, explosion!" Li Yuebai shouted with all his might.

He didn't have to wait long.

After no more than three seconds, a dull explosion was heard from beneath the water.

The tentacles that were originally tightly wrapped around the ankles suddenly lost their strength and turned into a pile of dead flesh.

Li Yuebai took a deep breath, buried his face in the water, and saw the broken body of the tentacle creature - a huge wound had exploded at the location of its brain and heart, which was five meters underwater, and it could not heal itself.

"Congratulations, host, you have successfully killed the real incarnation of the system. Now, you have the opportunity to shut down the system." The judge announced the victory in a low voice.
