"So, this is the thing," Wang Linchi said, pulling out a luminous crystal from the center of the island. This was what the tavern owner had said attracted Erroneous Sin.
"This thing... It seems to have a certain resemblance to the Dean’s Stone Heart," Shadow of Gluttony hesitated for a mont before finally speaking.
"Do you recognize it?" Wang Linchi had researched it. This thing seems more like an aggregation of errors, he thought.
I don’t recognize it; it just seems similar, Shadow of Gluttony thought, wishing he could slap himself. Why did I say that? Just needlessly stirring up trouble. If I hadn’t spoken, this wouldn’t be an issue.
Wang Linchi, however, paid no mind to Shadow of Gluttony’s thoughts and casually crushed the item.
The thing was very fragile. Upon being crushed, it imdiately self-destructed, leaving no trace behind.
At the sa ti, with his position as the epicenter, the entire island began to crumble.
"Damn it, how co I got a notification that the island was breached? Didn’t they say earlier we successfully defended it?"
"Who knows? Damn, forced to change servers, and it’s a random one too. I’m not going to fall into another trap, am I?"
"The Ga System must have a bug! It has rged with reality, so how can it still be so ssed up?!"
"..."
The players’ voices rose in a clamor. When it ca to the Ga System’s notifications, you’d receive them even if you were dead asleep.
As for being unconscious or delirious, that was another matter entirely. After all, there had never been any equality between the Ga System and the players.
Watching this unfold, Wang Linchi remained calm, although even he hadn’t known that destroying this thing would cause the island to crumble as well.
Nevertheless, it confird one thing: the previous claims that the siege weapons had unlimited ammunition were false; they actually drew their energy from this aggregate.
"Boss, this place is collapsing! Shouldn’t we leave quickly?" Shadow of Gluttony could clearly see that Wang Linchi had caused the turmoil on the island.
"No rush. Let’s play with the Ga System a bit," Wang Linchi said, taking out a Philosopher’s Stone.
Teleporting players away undoubtedly required interfacing with the Ga System’s power; this was standard procedure.
However, with Wang Linchi present, he wasn’t about to let Them off easily. He wanted revenge for being hunted.
"But Boss, the Ga System’s power will descend! We’ll be crushed!" Shadow of Gluttony was quite apprehensive.
"No, you’re an Erroneous Sin. The Ga System hasn’t yet perfected a system to kill your kind. At most, you’ll just suffer a bit more," Wang Linchi said with a smile.
"I’m thinking about you, Boss, because..."
"Relax. You’re the only one who’ll be unlucky; the Ga System can’t do anything to ," Wang Linchi said cheerfully.
He had indeed been hounded by the Ga System, but that didn’t an he had no way to retaliate. At the very least, his Fanciful and Fickle technique, enhanced by the Golden Core Illusion and a Philosopher’s Stone, was far beyond what the Ga System could handle.
However much power the Ga System sent, It would lose that exact amount after Wang Linchi detonated it. If Its main body were to descend, Wang Linchi was confident he could blast It half to death and then devour It.
What he was wary of was the Ga System’s control over the entire world, not Its pursuit of him.
Given Its sheer scale, fighting a war of attrition against It would be foolish. Why clash head-on, knowing Its advantages? He wasn’t stupid enough to get himself broken that way.
A gentleman does not stand beneath a collapsing wall. Wang Linchi was no gentleman, but he understood the principle.
Hearing Wang Linchi’s words, Shadow of Gluttony scrambled away.
He felt Wang Linchi’s words were very reasonable, but they offered him no comfort whatsoever.
Wang Linchi didn’t stop him from fleeing. Shadow of Gluttony cherished his life dearly. So, if Wang Linchi won, he would obediently co back rather than truly escaping.
After so many harsh lessons, Shadow of Gluttony knew Wang Linchi well. If he fled and wasn’t caught, fine. But if he were caught, he would undoubtedly die a miserable death.
This was all contingent on him neutralizing the Three Corpse Brain God Pill in his mind.
It’s here! Wang Linchi instantly sensed the Ga System’s arrival.
The fluctuation was montary. The rules here were too densely interwoven; even if the Ga System projected Its power, It wouldn’t dare make too many moves. Otherwise, if It got entangled in the erroneous rules, which were like a ssy ball of yarn, It Itself wouldn’t fare well.
The Philosopher’s Stone instantly shattered into dust, and a Golden Core Illusion was simultaneously drained of all its spiritual power.
An invisible, intangible Impact, ford by Fanciful and Fickle, precisely struck the point of fluctuation.
In that instant, the entire large-scale dungeon quaked violently. Nurous cracks appeared on its barrier.
Wang Linchi’s move was akin to exploiting the montary weak point created as the Ga System teleported, effectively delivering a devastating blow to the entire dungeon.
This affected not only the dungeon but also the Ga System Itself.
Although the Ga System had been enslaving players, no matter how one looked at it, the players were Its very foundation.
Because of this oversight, a chaotic interaction was triggered among all the erroneous rules.
Countless Erroneous Sins erged from the seabed, making these cracks even more terrifying. So sections of the barrier even began to shatter.
The Ga System’s invisible power descended instantly, forcibly stabilizing the crumbling dungeon to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
Wang Linchi was also targeted simultaneously, presumably for a follow-up attack. He was especially detestable for causing destruction repeatedly.
And each disruption was more significant than the last.
Last ti, he had rely packed away a dungeon’s Erroneous Sins and dismantled its barrier; the frawork, at least, was still intact and could be repaired and restarted.
This ti, he had gone too far. If It hadn’t acted swiftly, the dungeon might have completely disintegrated, and even It would have been injured.
However, the lock-on only lasted three seconds before vanishing. It was forced to withdraw Its power. If It delved any deeper, the entanglent of Erroneous Sins within the dungeon would ensnare It, leading to even greater losses.
They’ve evacuated all the players? Wang Linchi had an ominous premonition.
Previously, only the players from the island he wrecked were evacuated. Now, everyone was being moved. It seems They’re planning to trap a turtle in a jar. At the very least, They can trap .
It looks like It’s busy dealing with sothing and can’t disengage, Wang Linchi mused. He didn’t believe the other party was incapable of further action; it was more likely that It couldn’t spare the effort and thus resorted to this thod. Once It finishes Its more important tasks, It can then take Its ti dealing with .
Heh, I need to figure out what the Ga System is up to quickly. Then I can go and wreck Its plans, he thought.
On the other hand, after the Ga System’s power had evacuated the players, Shadow of Gluttony very obediently returned.
"Boss, I can’t get out of the dungeon!" Shadow of Gluttony shrieked, terrified.
"Don’t worry, I can get out," Wang Linchi said. Actually, I can’t get out either, he thought, rely bluffing Shadow of Gluttony. The Ga System saw this dungeon was about to collapse and directly sealed it with brute force. But that’s fine. If It can use brute force to imprison, I can use brute force to break free. Once I devour all the Erroneous Sins in this dungeon, my Golden Core will reach the Third Transformation at minimum.
"But I can’t get out, Boss! Without to guide you, how will you hunt in the next large-scale dungeon? And how will you go to the hospital to cause trouble for our Dean?" Shadow of Gluttony said fawningly.
He didn’t have Wang Linchi’s abilities.
His only hope now was for Wang Linchi to take him back to the hospital. Otherwise, wandering outside, whether facing Wang Linchi or the Ga System, ant confronting terrifying powers he couldn’t possibly resist.
"Oh? I didn’t realize you were so loyal to your Dean, preparing such a grand ’gift’ for him," Wang Linchi said, clearly understanding Shadow of Gluttony’s intentions.
"Don’t worry. Once I’m done eating, I’ll smash this dungeon to pieces. Then we’ll be out."
"Not only will we get out, but we’ll also make the Ga System suffer a hefty loss," Wang Linchi added. He was no benevolent soul. He wasn’t so protagonist from an allied faction who’d let himself be exploited, so why would he be magnanimous?
Shadow of Gluttony felt a deeper chill. Considering how much havoc Wang Linchi was wreaking, Will the Dean hand over to the Ga System later as a down paynt for a peace treaty? he wondered.
The main issue was that they had offended It so grievously there was no room for reconciliation. The Ga System wouldn’t issue warnings or condemnations; It would genuinely strike to kill.
"What, still not satisfied? Surely you don’t expect to confront the Ga System head-on for you? You’re not that valuable," Wang Linchi taunted.
