Chapter 4261: Heroes Attack! (Part 1)

"Welcome, players, to Battleworld - New Earth. The brand-new player-versus-player mode 'Heroes Attack' has officially begun. System matching... matching complete. Heroes, take your weapons and welcome this peak showdown!"

Above a blue planet, several figures gradually appeared in a space capsule. Accompanied by the lighting up of light, the space capsule flew toward Earth like a meteor.

On the vast polar ice sheet, fine white mist rose from the ice surface. Penguins slid down the iceberg one after another on their bellies. A seal turned over, jumped out of an ice hole, and slapped its tail. Crashing onto the Antarctic ice sheet like a meteorite was a silver space capsule. After a sizzling sound of deflation, a figure walked out from inside.

"Hello, welcome to the Heroes Attack matching mode. Next, I will introduce the basic gameplay of this mode to you.

In the confrontation mode, your main enemies will be other players. Harsh natural conditions and wild beasts may also be your great enemies. And those mysterious creatures that may exist will also pose no small threat to you. You must be careful and cautious in dealing with the dangers brought by the environment while responding to player attacks.

This confrontation mode adopts a war chess mode. When you look down at your feet, you will see the grid you are in. And in the upper right corner of your field of vision is your action point; only by spending action points can you leave the grid you are in. Performing basic attacks and using skill cards all require spending action points. Please reasonably allocate action points to avoid being unable to make the operations you want due to insufficient action points.

There are all kinds of terrain in the battlefield. You must avoid obstacles, but you can also use them to cause some trouble for your opponents. At the same time, some of your actions may trigger random events. There will be no reminder before the event is triggered; please be prepared at all times.

Your companions are providing you with remote support at the nearest research station. Please press your headset and listen to their voices. Good team cooperation can lead you to victory."

"Sizzle—" A burst of noise came from the headset. Subsequently, a female voice appeared in the headset: "Bruce, are you okay? I saw your space capsule land. I am already in position at the research station."

"I'm fine, Selina. It's really cold here. I knew those administrators didn't have good intentions."

"Did you hear the rules just read? I can see the environment you are in from all angles through the monitoring screen. However, I haven't found your opponent yet; they should be nearby."

"Oh, is that so? How far can you see roughly?"

"Let me count... 16 grids front, back, left, and right. Now there is an iceberg 6 grids away on your left hand. Besides that, there are no other obstacles."

Bruce looked down at his feet. As his gaze focused on the ice surface, blue light began to appear. He discovered that about 5 meters away from him, a wall of blue light lit up, front, back, left, and right, all at this distance. That is to say, one grid was about 100 square meters.

Compared to his body size, this 100 square meters was considered very large. However, if combat was to be conducted, then the grids of the two sides combined would only be 200 square meters. This little space wasn't enough for maneuvering. It seemed the restrictions for this instance were very severe.

And Bruce looked up into the distance; his field of vision was only about three grids, that is, the visibility was about thirty or forty meters. Only Selina, who could see the monitoring screen in the research station, could see the situation more than 100 meters away.

"Where should I go? Darling?" Bruce looked around. Because of the field of vision restriction, he couldn't even see the iceberg Selina mentioned, and naturally had no way to judge the direction to move forward.

"I suggest you move straight forward," Selina said, "I can see the temperature of each grid here; your location belongs to the low-temperature zone. Moving forward will be slightly warmer."

Bruce looked up at the action points above again. There were 5 points in total. He wanted to move forward one grid to see how many points it would cost, but when he walked over, he couldn't break through that wall of blue light.

"Oh, wait, I need to operate it." Selina's voice came from his headset, "Look ahead, there is an arrow. You walk toward that direction, and you shouldn't be blocked."

Bruce looked up and found that the mist ahead had weakened slightly. He saw an arrow about five grids away, marking that grid. Only until this moment did that wall of blue light disappear. However, as soon as Bruce walked to the new grid, the wall appeared again, which proved that he couldn't walk back for free.

One grid cost one action point. Bruce walked 5 grids, and the action points were spent. But neither of them knew how to replenish action points.

After a few dozen seconds, Selina said: "A countdown appeared here, it should be the countdown for the end of the turn. This proves that all contestants are operating in real-time. Maybe there are still people who haven't finished operating, we have to wait for them."

"You are too amazing, Selina. This round depends entirely on you." Bruce sat on the ground, hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and then said, "I feel it definitely isn't this simple. This turn is just a beginner's tutorial; I'm afraid we will encounter those difficult opponents very soon."

"Alright, don't think about slacking off by praising me. It's not that complex yet; I can barely handle it. It probably won't work later."

Looking at the countdown of more than 20 seconds on the screen, Selina grabbed her hair somewhat irritably and said: "Isn't the first turn just walking? How can they operate so slowly? Can't they be faster?"

"So what exactly are we doing? Why not end the turn?" On the ice surface, a yellow figure jumped up and down. Pikachu adjusted his goggles and asked.

"You don't understand, this is a tactic." Peter answered, "I call it the 'rope-burning tactic'. Leave one action point each turn, but just don't click end action until the countdown ends. This way, you can drag the time of each turn to the longest until they lose patience."

"You will definitely be beaten for this." Pikachu said, "Considering that it's me standing on the battlefield now, do you want me to be ganged up on?"

"This tactic can't be used at all times either; now no one has touched anyone, everyone doesn't know who is burning the rope, so they can drag the time like this. If they meet, this tactic can't be used." Peter said, "Also, I've never seen you wear clothes, it's simply too ridiculous!"

Pikachu also looked down at his body. He only had his head exposed now, wearing a cold-proof suit that seemed tailor-made for him, as well as a full set of boots, gloves, and a scarf.

The problem was that he was a creature without a neck, and looked about the same as the seal not far away. Not only did he have no neck, but he also had no waist. This led to these clothes being put on him, directly wrapping him into a ball. If he had been careless just now and fallen, he might have already rolled into the Pacific Ocean by now.

"Who do you think we will meet?" Pikachu asked again, "I feel there must be Batman. I've long wanted to shock him."

After speaking, he stretched his tail hard, but no electric current appeared as usual. Peter said: "I also feel there is Batman, but whether you can actually shock him depends on how this mode is designed."

"Isn't this designed by you?"

"I only made some suggestions; now it seems they have all been realized. It's just that you know, Doctor Shiler won't let us off so easily."

"I heard he also participated; who do you think he will form a team with? It wouldn't be with himself again, would it?"

"That's hard to say," Peter shook his head and said, "I feel it won't be; the Doctor has changed a lot recently. No one can guess what the situation is."

Peter looked down at the screen. Within his field of vision, there was an iceberg on the left. In order to use the rope-burning tactic, they didn't move at all this round, so there was a certain distance from the iceberg, but he subconsciously felt that there must be enemies on the other side of the iceberg.

His speculation was only partially correct. There was indeed something on the other side of the iceberg, but it couldn't be considered a person. Because that was a mass of gray mist.

At this moment, this mass of mist was lingering among piles of cold-proof clothes, scarves, and gloves stacked on the ground, looking like a scene from some horror movie. It was as if a person had suddenly turned into a void form of mist, and then all the clothes fell to the ground.

But in reality, he was very wronged, because he didn't have a human form at all. It was just that this system forcibly had to generate a set of clothes for him. The gray mist sighed and said: "Otherwise, I'd better put the clothes on. Otherwise, they might think it was me who killed the players and snatched their clothes; isn't that very terrifying?"

"The problem is that you are even more terrifying wearing clothes in your current state." Greed said in the headset, "Think about it, seeing a person wearing clothes walking toward you from afar, only to find it's a mass of mist when looking closely. That's more like a horror movie, right?"

"Sigh, I said I wouldn't come, I wouldn't come, but you insisted on calling me. I still wanted to follow the agent to Hawaii to see if there was Stitch."

"You really should well train your combat skills." Greed said unhappily, "You can't just scrape (do minimal damage) every time you fight, right? You are an Outer God after all."

"But I am an Outer God with self-care ability, not those idiots." The gray mist surged and then said, "I have never mentally polluted humans. I am a good Outer God."

"Wait, it seems someone is coming." Greed said, "You really guessed it. The marked name is Batman. It's just that I don't know which Batman it is specifically."

"Could it be the student of Pride? I heard he also participated."

"It shouldn't be; Bruce is no longer Batman. He specifically went to find Lucifer to correct his title; now Battleworld won't mark him as Batman. This one looks more like that kind of traditional... oh ho, you're finished."

"What's wrong?"

"Lord Batman. It's the Batman of the Justice Lord Superman."

"Then it should be you who is finished. Because the one I'm facing is Lord Superman Batman; when it's time to switch people later, you will have to face Lord Superman."

"Oh, damn it, I forgot about this. However, I feel it's not necessarily switching people at the same time. Maybe I can choose not to go out."

"Escaping is not the way to solve the problem."

"Then you didn't want to come before."

"I see them." Lord Batman said, "I have never heard of any hero called Gray Mist... God! What is this?!!!"

And Lord Superman in the room immediately switched the perspective to the first-person perspective, and after seeing that gray mist floating on a pile of clothes, a whole bunch of horror movie scenes immediately appeared in his brain.

"Don't misunderstand!" Gray Mist shouted, "I am a player! I am not a monster, don't hit me!"

"Can you use your brain," Greed said in his headset, "I already said this is a player-versus-player game; you say you are a player, and he will hit you!" ===== CHAPTER 4262 =====
