Chapter 450 Two Conversations Between the Underworld
Chapter 450 Two Conversations Between the Underworld
The debate on the World Channel is getting increasingly heated.
The players who advanced were showing off, while the eliminated players were envious, and the two sides were arguing heatedly.
But in any case, time was passing by, second by second.
50 minutes.
40 minutes.
30 minutes.
......
A large number of players have already gathered at the teleportation plaza in Luoxia City.
They are all players who have advanced and are waiting for their moment to enter the arena.
Some people paced back and forth nervously, some sat on the ground with their eyes closed to rest, and some whispered to their teammates about tactics.
The square was bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter.
People from the War Alliance and Crimson Romance also arrived.
Zhang Tianya stood on the east side of the square with the elites of the War Alliance, while Li Weiwei stood on the west side with her Blood Romance sisters.
They looked at each other from a distance and waved to each other.
"President!" Zhang Heng leaned close to Zhang Tianya and whispered, "After we go in, should we form an alliance with Blood Romance?"
Zhang Tianya thought for a moment and shook his head.
"No need for now. Let's go in and check the situation first."
Zhang Heng nodded.
Jiang Yan was asking the same question to Li Weiwei.
Li Weiwei's answer was the same as Zhang Tianya's: "Observe first, don't rush."
Time passed second by second.
finally--
【Ding! 】
The system beep sounded again.
The second round of the Interdimensional Battle Preliminaries is about to begin.
[Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
The square fell silent instantly.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for that moment to arrive.
【...3, 2, 1.】
[Start!]
A beam of white light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire teleportation plaza.
Zhang Tianya felt a lightness in his body, and the scene before his eyes began to blur.
The last thing he saw was Li Weiwei giving him a thumbs-up across the crowd.
He smiled and gave a thumbs-up in response.
The white light engulfed everything.
......
at the same time.
One hour before the start of the second round of the Battle of the Myriad Realms.
Another main city.
【Crimson Moon City】
In the west of the city, at the "Oborozuki-ya" tavern.
The innermost private room, named "Between the Underworld," already had its heavy soundproof barrier activated.
The light from the barrier swirled slightly in the air, completely isolating the entire room from the outside world.
Inside the room, five figures sat around a low table.
Kenichi Sato sat cross-legged in the main seat, with the two samurai swords at his waist removed and placed horizontally beside him.
He closed his eyes, tapping his fingers absently on the table. The scar that ran diagonally from his brow bone to the corner of his mouth looked particularly grotesque in the dim light.
Hikaru Kobayashi sat to his right, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his gold-rimmed glasses, a signature gentle smile playing on his lips.
A hand-drawn map lay open in front of him, covered with a dense array of symbols.
Hattori Hanji huddled in the darkest corner of the room, almost blending into the shadows.
If it weren't for the occasional blink of an eye, it would be hard to notice that there was someone sitting there.
Chishima Rin knelt opposite Sato, her face mostly covered by a black veil, revealing only a pair of alluring yet cruel and vicious eyes.
She was toying with a blue-glowing dagger in her hand, the venom on the blade shimmering under the light.
Yamamoto Tatsuno's obese body almost filled half of the seat, his large yukata taut against his body, and his fleshy face trembled slightly with his breathing.
He drank his wine in large gulps, occasionally letting out heavy breathing.
The silence lasted for a moment.
Kenichi Sato opened his eyes.
Those eyes held no emotion, only a chilling killing intent.
"I miscalculated!!!"
"The first round of preliminary matches," he began, his voice hoarse and low, "we're not in the same region."
Kobayashi Hikaru adjusted his glasses and continued, "Yes, all those plans and arrangements were wasted. The people we placed in each competition zone, the intelligence we gathered, and the tools we prepared to interfere with him... none of them were used."
Yamamoto Tatsuno slammed his glass down, gruffly exclaiming, "Damn it! So much time and effort wasted! I should have just not done all that preparation!"
Sato glanced at him.
That glance was very light, but it made Yamamoto Tatsuno subconsciously shrink his neck and lower his voice.
"However," Kobayashi Hikaru continued, tapping his finger on the table, "this time is different."
Chishima Rin stopped playing with the dagger and looked up at him.
"How so?"
Kobayashi Hikaru pushed up his glasses, and a cold light reflected off the lenses.
"In the first round of preliminary rounds, there were too many participants, so all participants were divided into 100 competition zones. In the second round, only those who passed the first round of preliminary rounds can participate."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
With fewer people, the probability of being placed in the same division increases. It's even possible that—we'll all be in the same division.
Yamamoto Tatsuno's eyes lit up: "Then wouldn't it be possible to find Lin Tian directly and kill him?"
Sato gave a cold laugh.
"Kill him? Do you know how many people he killed in the first round of the preliminaries?"
Yamamoto Tatsuno paused for a moment, scratching his bald head: "I heard it's... several thousand?"
Kobayashi Hikaru nodded, his tone calm: "To be precise, he killed thousands of people in an instant. And in a very short time, he almost single-handedly slaughtered all the competitors in an entire region."
He looked at Sato and added, "This news has spread throughout the entire Newbie Continent. Survivors in Region 58 are talking about it everywhere. Although there may be some exaggeration, the data for the top spot on the leaderboard is undeniable. His points are more than twenty times ahead of the second-place player."
Yamamoto Tatsuno gasped.
"Twenty times? Is that guy even human?"
Chishima Rin scoffed, her tone sarcastic: "What? Scared? Didn't you just say you were going to kill him?"
Yamamoto Tatsuno glared at her: "Who's afraid! I just... I just thought it was a bit exaggerated!"
Sato raised his hand, stopping the two from arguing.
He looked down at the two swords at his waist, his fingers gently tracing the hilts.
"I can kill thousands of players by myself," he said slowly.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Kobayashi Hikaru looked at him, his eyes behind his glasses flickering slightly.
"President, you mean...?"
Sato gave a cold laugh.
"My talent. In terms of single-target burst damage, no one in the entire Crimson Moon City can compare to me. It's just that I don't have large-area AOE skills, so my clearing efficiency is not as good as a mage."
He paused, then gripped the knife handle tightly.
"But if it's just about kills, give me enough time, and I can do it too."
Yamamoto Tatsuno nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right! We all know Chairman Sato's strength!"
Chishima Rin sheathed her dagger, her tone still sarcastic: "So what? You mean Lin Tian isn't all that great?"
