Chapter 1240: Choose

What method did I use to cross the boundary between man and god?

Hearing Prince An De Lie's question, the corners of Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, then he subconsciously reached out and touched his own stomach.

This matter is a bit troublesome to explain in detail. But if I put it simply... that is, aside from Senior Er Jie, who didn't come, all the members of the Scorpio branch who participated in this mission are already holding a meeting in my stomach.

Earlier, under the "vigorous feeding" of the three seniors, he had already temporarily obtained power at the 59-point infection value level, only a tiny bit away from the minimum requirement of "slicing open the world plane."

And Director Scorpio's soul was extremely "solid," which he couldn't digest or absorb at all. But by relying on the authority of the "Guard Dog of Death," "sucking" a little power from his soul to make up for this last tiny gap was still something he could do.

In short, rely on eating teammates.

"Don't want to say?"

Looking at Li Ang, who was silent opposite him, Prince An De Lie nodded indifferently:

"Then I won't ask. Anyway, my painting has already been destroyed by you. Even if I know how you did it, it can't change anything anymore... Hmm... let's talk about serious business next."

In Li Ang's vigilant gaze, Prince An De Lie looked up at him and said with a calm face:

"I have to admit, your evaluation of me before was very correct. I am indeed a cowardly person who has always lacked the courage to face my own mistakes... Li Ang Ge Xia, do you want to know what my evaluation of you is?"

To tell you the truth, I don't really want to know, but looking at your appearance, no matter whether I want to or not, you will definitely say it...

Looking at Prince Andrei, who was raising his head to gaze at him, the hatred and anger in his emerald eyes now replaced by a certain determination, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh inwardly and continue the conversation:

"Speak, how do you see me?"

"Greedy. In my eyes, you are a very, very, very greedy person."

In Li Ang's somewhat surprised expression, Prince An De Lie, who said "very" three times, explained with a calm expression:

"I had A Ti Fei control six royal direct legions to besiege the Wang Gong. Facing the elite legions formed by the establishment, in the situation where you didn't know what other trump cards I had, you still chose to consume extra power and stunned all the soldiers, without killing a single person throughout the whole process."

"Later, when attacking the No. 1 Research Zone and destroying the intelligent machine core, you clearly knew you might face Director Scorpio, but you still chose to infiltrate the cooling lake yourself, without bringing along the first-level cleaning personnel Er Jie, who was an important combat force, but instead let him act alone, taking the opportunity to save people in the No. 1 Research Zone."

"From these two responses, it's not hard to see that you are a very, very, very greedy person. You would rather take many unnecessary risks to complete the mission as perfectly as possible, and almost don't want to accept any 'loss' or 'exchange'..."

"Hmm... or you can put it this way: you are a soft-hearted good person."

"..."

After babbling a bunch of things and giving Li Ang a good person card, Prince An De Lie continued to analyze unhurriedly:

"You hate implicating the innocent very much and are accustomed to respecting life. I guess there must be a set of extremely special, strange concepts in your heart that are different from other cleaning personnel of the Cleaning Bureau, and even different from most people."

"Finally, you seem to have a fanatical stubbornness toward your own set of concepts. When you determine that a certain thing is right and judge that you can bear the consequences, you will definitely go and do it immediately."

"I even have a vague feeling that if the 'correctness' of the thing to be done is high enough, even if you judge that you cannot bear the consequences, as long as it is worth it enough, you will still try to complete it... Li Ang Ge Xia, is my judgment of you accurate?"

"..."

Uh... although it's not entirely correct, it seems I can't say it's wrong either... After listening to Prince An De Lie's long-winded analysis, Li Ang couldn't help but cough dryly, feeling a tiny bit embarrassed by being "praised."

It's true that he's not afraid of death. After all, he is currently occupying the pit left by the "Guard Dog of Death" and holding the authority left by it. If he really died, he would definitely be taken away by the Dead World to watch the gate for it.

So for himself, even if all three immortal bodies were broken by someone, the worst, worst result for him would be hanging up early and becoming the gatekeeper in the Dead World. Although this can't be called a good ending, it's not that hard to accept.

"It seems my judgment is still fairly accurate."

Seeing that Li Ang didn't refute after waiting for a while, Prince An De Lie chuckled, then said with an indifferent expression:

"For someone like you, if you were killed directly, you would likely not feel any pain. You would only feel regret because you didn't do your best. For someone like you, death perhaps doesn't count as any punishment at all."

"So if I want to take revenge on you, I can only destroy the concepts you believe in, and let you watch the things you have been chasing being cruelly and thoroughly torn apart in front of you! Only in this way can you truly be hurt and let you experience the same deep pain as me!"

"..."

"Li Ang Ge Xia, listen well."

After finishing a declaration of revenge that was extremely chuunibyou, in the world dyed orange-red, Prince An De Lie sat cross-legged and looked at Li Ang, saying coldly:

"What you are facing now is the work I am most satisfied with, aside from the 'Royal Night Banquet.' Its name is 'Ke Luo Ke Under the Sunset.' This painting has already absorbed the world fragment in the 'Royal Night Banquet' and completed the erosion of the entire Ke Luo Ke Wang Guo."

"And next, the sunset that has already fallen in this painting will climb up from the horizon again, and then constantly approach the entire Ke Luo Ke Wang Guo, until the two overlap and burn everything to ashes."

Seemingly to prove that what he said was true, Prince An De Lie beckoned behind him, and on the horizon in the distance, the sunset, with only an arc edge still above the ground, actually climbed up a bit.

With the reappearance of the sunset, the gentle orange-red afterglow around them suddenly brightened, beginning to turn toward a brighter, bright yellow. And a wave of heat that made one's heart anxious also rolled over from the distant sky, instantly baking the surrounding green grass until it curled and withered.

"Li Ang Ge Xia, it's time for you to make a choice."

With his back to the increasingly scorching golden-red sunset, Prince An De Lie first raised his hand and pointed at the sunset behind him, then pointed at Fei Liya behind Li Ang, explaining:

"I am already a dead person. Now Fei Liya is the last living Ke Luo Ke Wang Shi. If she also dies, then the Watchtower Palace that protects all humanity will immediately suffer a huge weakening."

"So if you still want to complete the mission of protecting humanity, you must protect her. However, if you want the sun to stop and avoid the one million three hundred thousand people in this painting from being roasted alive, then you must hand her corpse over to me."

After finishing the "game rules," looking at Li Ang, who was somewhat stunned, the corners of Prince An De Lie's mouth curled up, and he said with pleasure:

"Li Ang Ge Xia, I will probably need an hour to finish painting this giant sun completely, so you have an hour to think slowly, which one you choose..."

"Here."

"?!!!"

Looking at Fei Liya, who was directly thrown in front of him and fell on her butt with an "ouch," the smile on Prince An De Lie's face immediately stiffened.

No... did you choose a bit too fast? You didn't even hesitate at all?
