Chapter 1071: Silver Desperate Situation

Silver Desperate Situation

Off Stage.

The Silver King stared fixedly at the Red King drinking water calmly in front of him, his chest heaving violently.

"You lost." The Red King pursed his lips, saying indifferently, "In this game of chess, you have already suffered a crushing defeat... The Fire-Stealers should also completely disappear from this world."

Every word of the Red King was like a thorn piercing into the Silver King's heart. His complexion changed continuously. Finally, he took a deep breath, and his gaze returned to an ice-cold silence.

"No... I haven't lost yet." The British Overcoat was already dyed white in the wind and snow.

Whether it was the Fire-Stealers, the Thief Saint, or those Judgment Proxies... in the final analysis, they were all his tools. When all his Chess Pieces left him, the Silver King surprisingly calmed down instead.

He already had no way to retreat.

"As long as I kill you, everything can be reversed." The Silver King said in a deep voice. "Once you die, those Rank 8s are not my match. If I can exchange the memory of a Judgment Proxy once, I can do it a second time. In this world, there will always be people stepping onto the Path of the Thief, and there will always be people working for me... As long as you give me time, the Thief Saint can also be replenished."

The Silver King sneered, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes,

"Anger? It's just unwillingness to resign to my fate."

Who knows how many years of preparation the Silver King took to let the Fire-Stealers reach where they are today step by step. His painstakingly calculated layout was dismantled one by one by the Red King before it even started. How could he be willing?

Right now, the Silver King had already become a true "Lonely King". Aside from defeating the Red King, he had no other choice.

Bang——!!

From the consistently oppressive wind and snow, a loud explosive sound rang out.

An ancient coffin suddenly rose from the earth behind the Silver King. As the coffin lid was flipped open, a lifelike corpse was exposed in the air...

"A Demigod of the Path of Strategy from the previous era?" Seeing that person in the coffin, a flash of surprise crossed the Red King's eyes. "Where did you get this corpse?"

"... Take a guess?"

The Silver King didn't plan to explain at all. The moment the corpse of the Path of Strategy Demigod appeared, vertical and horizontal lines rapidly spread in the nothingness. As the Demigod's Aura reappeared from the corpse, the wind and snow Off Stage abruptly stagnated!

If one looked down from high up at this time, they could see that the entire space had already been replaced by a Chessboard. Even the Stage was surrounded by four black stones falling in different directions, as if completely sealed off.

"In terms of trapping enemies, can you be stronger than him?"

The Silver King coldly snorted. The next moment, the small table between him and the Red King abruptly shattered. The teacup and hot water splashed all over the ground. The Red King raised his brows, his figure swaying and flickering backwards.

One black stone after another was outlined from the nothingness, precisely falling on the intersections of the vertical and horizontal lines near the Red King. But every time the four Chess Pieces were about to seal off the Red King's position, he could always dodge as if predicting the landing spot, his figure rapidly shuttling across the spatial Stage, leaving only trails of afterimages in the wind and snow.

Huang He's corpse-stealing ability was similarly in the Silver King's hands. Grasping the complete Path of the Thief, plus a controlled Demigod's corpse, he achieved a two-against-one situation... This was also where the Silver King's confidence in saying he could kill the Red King lay.

Facing the joint attack of the Path of Strategy Demigod and the Silver King, the Red King's face didn't have the slightest panic. While wandering in the wind and snow, he calmly spoke:

"In terms of trapping enemies, I am indeed inferior to him... But your weakness is even more fatal."

"My weakness?"

"You are too arrogant." The corners of the Red King's mouth slightly curved up. "Your arrogance made you ignore details... Those fatal details hidden in the shadows...

Do you really think it's two-against-one now?"

The Silver King didn't understand the Red King's meaning. Just at this time, from the corner of his eye, he seemed to notice something, turning his head to look at a certain spot in the wind and snow...

Since who knows when, a young girl in a black dress carrying a coffin was already quietly looking over here.

A gloomy Aura drifted from the coffin on her back. The next moment, in the nothingness behind the Silver King, a flash of nothingness white light flickered, and a deathly silent head that he had hidden in the surrounding space actually abruptly opened its eyes!!

The moment he saw that head, the Silver King's complexion changed drastically!

"... It's you?!"

Swish——!

The coffin on Liu Qingyan's back lightened. Moonlight like water flowed from the gap, and a Rank 8 aura crazily spread.

At the same time, that head hidden by the Silver King seemed to experience Resurrection. The slender moonlight dagger seemed to pierce through time, directly sinking into the Silver King's chest!

All of this happened too fast. From the Silver King seeing Liu Qingyan appear, to his body being pierced by the moonlight, it didn't even take half a second... Behind him, a beautiful figure draped in a grey robe stood amidst the reflection of moonlight, currently looking at him coldly.

Dusk Society, Grey King.

"This is impossible..." The Silver King's chest was soaked in fresh blood. He spoke hoarsely, "You clearly already died... I killed you with my own hands!"

"I said... from the very beginning, you were one of 'The Roles' on this game of chess. This is a trap we specially laid out for you." The Red King smiled slightly. "Surprised?"

"You... you guys already guessed long ago that I would go snatch the Timeline Save File???"

Only at this time did the Silver King finally react, his complexion incomparably ugly.

"Strictly speaking, my little Disciple told me." The Red King smiled slightly.

When Chen Ling was still in the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, he had warned the Red King that a Timeline Save File would be stolen... And the one stolen would be the [Morality] in the Grey King's hands.

The Red King knew the running logic of the Timeline Save File: what has already happened cannot be changed. So he directly used the [Morality] in the Grey King's hands as bait, laying out this game... The Silver King breaking into the Ancient Vault of the Courtesan Path was also within their expectations.

The Red King utilized the past grievances between the Grey King and the Silver King, setting up a situation for the Grey King to fake her death. Her head was carried away by the Silver King on his person, while her true body still remained hidden in the Ancient Vault.

This was an assassination.

A fatal assassination initiated from an angle the Silver King couldn't predict!

"Back then, you laid out a plan to snatch my Divine Path Certification... This time, falling into a trap yourself, how does it feel?" The Grey King's moonlight dagger stirred deep within the Silver King's chest, and murmuring fresh blood flowed out.

The Silver King clenched his teeth tightly. He stole space, his entire person escaping more than ten meters from the end of the dagger. But even so, the Grey King's blade still seriously injured him, and his vitality began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Silver King never expected no matter what that he and the Red King had gamed for so long, losing the entire game, and now in the Demigod battle the Red King hadn't even attacked yet, and he had already been seriously injured to this extent... An unprecedented sense of despair surged into his heart!
