Chapter 2063

So that's how it is..

Lin An's eyes flickered, his heart secretly let out a sigh of relief.

After just thinking that the rescuers' side could also do that, he almost felt his scalp about to burst.

A wizard world alone would be tolerable, but add a group of rescuers.

Good fellow, then he doesn't need to struggle; just sit back and watch the two sides blow up this world.

"If they appear here in the form of a mission, will they have restrictions?"

"If I'm not mistaken, when a higher-level enters a lower-level instance, they themselves are also subject to system restrictions, right? Can we start from this?"

Unlike Cleyne, some are passively waiting for death, and all hope is placed on the Overseer.

Lin An, while thinking quickly, also wondered if there was any means that could be effective.

However, facing Lin An who still had fighting spirit, Cleyne bitterly shook his head, feeling it meaningless.

"Not very useful."

"Lin An, you just came back from those instances, right?"

"With that little punishment power of the instance, it's utterly useless against true experts. Even if you restrict them a hundredfold, they can still shatter continents with a single punch and teleport millions of kilometers instantly."

"Unless you can turn the Amoeba into a Death Star-level instance, gain control of the instance, and forcibly punish them."

"But if you can do that, you might as well act yourself."

"As for ambushes and prearranged layouts, they aren't very meaningful either."

"Every wizard is a sage, they are sinister and cunning, ruthless without bottom line. Trying to scheme against them is worse than hoping to defeat them in frontal combat."

"I'll give you an example and you'll understand."

He paused slightly, Cleyne's mood became extremely complex when saying this; as a person of the wizard civilization, he on one hand knows how powerful the civilization behind him is, and on the other hand fears that power.

"In the destruction records I know of, there was once a Fourth Rank wizard who, to advance to the Holy Land, i. e., Fifth Stage, descended alone into a great world, and by disguising himself as a 'player' of that world in an instance, gained the trust of a powerful female figure of a major faction."

"Afterward, he spent two years using every means including self-harm, lies, disguise, deception, to gain that major faction's trust, and relying on that female Fifth Stage's affection for him, became one of the High Level."

"Afterward, he spent over a year forming alliances, boosting his reputation, then contacted the opposing hostile faction, and drew away his own side's high-ranking combat power."

"Afterward, when his 'wife' gave birth to offspring, he arranged the assassination of his wife and children, using the pretext to incite a mutiny, directing the disaster eastward."

"Taking this opportunity, he gained the genuine trust of the High Level, and everyone thought he sought revenge to provoke war between the two civilizations."

"In the fourth year, on the battlefield he began covertly cultivating memes and spreading viruses, also earning great military merits. By relying on the information gap from betraying both sides simultaneously, he became a High Level of both civilizations."

"Finally.."

A flicker of fear crossed Cleyne's eyes, even leading to a sigh.

"Finally, in the ultimate battle, he sacrificed all the war potential of both civilizations, including his new 'lovers' and descendants in each side."

"About four and a half years, he jumped from Fourth Stage straight to Sixth Stage, and because he harvested a large amount of points, he didn't even need to worry about promotion tasks."

After quickly finishing the story of that unknown wizard, Cleyne bitterly looked at Lin An, the complexity in his eyes needing no words.

"What he said is simple, but actually achieving this level of cruelty is shocking to hear. Just take the simplest example: suppose now there is an unknown Awakened One who wants to join Faction: Long An and gain Lin An's absolute trust."

"What extent must this person reach? Especially, they also need to gain the trust of both civilizations."

Lin An also fell silent after hearing that.

He understood Cleyne's meaning.

"If speaking of other civilization types, their way of surviving the Apocalypse is to band together for warmth, while still retaining conventional growth patterns."

"In the wizard civilization, each wizard is a copy of the Second Will; what's even more terrifying than the Second Will is that behind them they have billions of copies of themselves. But that's also the only way to explain why the wizard civilization is so powerful."

"(So... the big eyeballs always warn me that after the Fifth Stage is the true beginning...)"

"(In the Apocalypse of the entire universe, which of the civilizations that have survived to now isn't a monster among monsters? Their paths and philosophies are each extreme and yet powerful.)"

"One-in-a-million talents, on Earth you can also find millions of them."

"One-in-ten-million super civilizations, you can also find tens of millions of them in a universe."

"The galaxy is vast, infinite infinities."

"For some reason, Lin An silently realized that he increasingly understood those who retreated, those who fled. With so many civilizations, so many worlds, so many pioneers and 'monsters,' none could end the Apocalypse."

"This sliver of hope seems truly to be infinitely close to zero."

"But.."

"\"Cleyne, I understand your meaning. Rather than fantasizing about scheming against them, we should withdraw in advance. \""

"\"But what if the instance restarts? What if the instance is destroyed? \""

"\"Could we possibly use this to threaten them? At worst, it could serve as a trump card. \""

"Lin An's conviction undiminished, he seriously asked Cleyne."

"As for him, he knows he isn't much of a genius, let alone talent. But Lin An believes, he firmly believes in everything he persists in!"

"Even if this road has no answer, even if there is no hope, he will steadfastly walk to the end! Eternal unchanging conviction is his Lin An's sole trump card, and also his sole courage to face the Apocalypse!"

"After his words fell, Cleyne stared, then quickly thought, and his eyes suddenly brightened."

"He never expected that Lin An, in this situation, would actually propose a method he hadn't thought of!"

"\"Let me think.. let me think.. Lin An! \""

"\"Yes! It seems really possible! You mean, if they descend into this instance, we would immediately detonate the instance? The cost is great.. but if it triggers a restart, they might indeed end up trapped here. \""

"\"No.. also not possible.. at most it would only delay them a bit; the Amoeba is already in this world, their descent here equals completing the breach! \""

"Frustratedly grabbing his own hair, Cleyne couldn't bother with his former gentlemanly image, racking his brains to think over Lin An's idea."

"\"Threaten them.. by making the people of the Amoeba world commit suicide? They came for this.. no, that wizard gang doesn't care about this, they accept no threats. \""

"\"After a restart, shift the instance coordinates? No.. can't do it.. also drag.. \""

"Seeing Cleyne whose fighting spirit had been sparked a little, Lin An slightly nodded, as if he had thought of something, and spoke again:"

"\"Cleyne, if I could find a way to connect to a region of void? I mean, the void generated by the system, doing this, could it possibly trick them into entering? \""

"They aren't the mission Descent? According to your description, this group of wizards will pursue extreme interests; perhaps we can act on the mission.."

"Primordial liquid.. I.. void channel.. mission.. bait!"

"The train of thought became clearer and clearer; Lin An suddenly lifted his head to look upward, his gaze as if it could pierce the world, seeing that pair of eyes searching in the darkness."

"Want to kill him? Want to destroy this place?"

"He actually wanted to see if he could fight this super civilization head‑on!"
