Chapter 3000

The second ring of the mission was successfully activated. Although Su Xiao's goal was to open the seal and slaughter the Old God, he was not reckless enough to kill the King of Light directly to force the seal open.

According to the King of Light, the three of them who wrapped soul chains around the container had different orders: the King of Light was wrapped in the innermost layer, followed by the Great Sage, and the outermost was the Wolf Spider Queen.

If he killed the King of Light now, the entire system would collapse, the container would shatter instantly, and the Old God would break out.

This was an extremely terrible situation. The Old God had been accumulating power inside the seal. If the seal suddenly shattered, within a certain period, the Old God energy that the Old God could command would be what it had accumulated over hundreds of years. How powerful would that be?

Unsealing layer by layer was different. Several layers of seals were closely related to the Old God. If peeled off layer by layer, opening each layer of the seal would release a massive amount of Old God energy and ensure that the Old God would not rush out directly. By the end, not only would the Old God energy accumulated by the Old God be released one after another in various places, but it would also make the sealed Old God weak for a period of time.

【Main Quest: Qualification (Second Ring)】

Difficulty Level: lv. 75

Mission Information: Kill the Wolf Spider Queen.

Mission Introduction: The Wolf Spider Queen is located in the Underground Kingdom (Bug Kingdom).

Mission Deadline: 6 natural days.

Mission Reward: Soul Crystal (Complete) x10.

Mission Penalty: Immediately leave this world and be forcibly teleported to the "Purgatory Mine" to mine resources for 10 natural days (no-gain state).

Warning: The Purgatory Mine is extremely hot, and there is a probability of being attacked by Fire Spirits.

Seeing this mission penalty, Su Xiao knew one thing: why combat-type contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise also mined. It wasn't that they wanted to, but they had to; the main quest had this kind of penalty.

Su Xiao suspected that Moon Apostle, Morey, Nameless Saint, etc., all had experiences of failing main quests and then going to the mine to dig, and it was unpaid mining at that.

This mission must not fail. Su Xiao didn't want to go mining, not because he had any prejudice against it, but because he didn't know how. In his understanding, mining meant holding a pickaxe and digging continuously. To extract high-level resources, that definitely wouldn't work.

Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the palace. At the entrance, he saw Moon Spirit standing straight there.

"Little sister, don't stand here, let's go."

Bahar smiled at Moon Spirit, a smile that contained the sinister and complex nature of the world.

"I must continue to guard the King..."

Before Moon Spirit could finish, a semi-transparent light tablet appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

"Is it the King's order? Is it... no longer necessary for me to guard?"

Moon Spirit was very sad, and her eyes were red.

"You guard my foot. Even the current King of Light can fight better than you."

"That's not true, it's, it's..."

Moon Spirit held it in for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason. She couldn't say that the King of Light was not as strong as she was now.

Moon Spirit glared at Bahar. Bahar's favorability with Moon Spirit dropped rapidly. Bahar didn't care about this at all. Not only that, it also wanted to test whether Moon Spirit would be of any help in battle.

"Moon Spirit, if you encounter someone who is seriously injured, what do you do?"

"Of course, help them."

Moon Spirit answered without thinking. Please don't misunderstand; her "help" was a bit peculiar.

"What if they have malicious intent?"

"Immediately stab them to death, or chop off their head? Stab them first, then chop the head, yes, that's it."

Moon Spirit was very satisfied with her answer and silently praised her own wit in her heart.

Bahar pondered for a moment and continued: "If you were carrying an order and encountered someone who was seriously injured, what would you do?"

"I would comfort them in passing and then walk away, or help them end their suffering? If they die, it shouldn't hurt anymore. By the way, I'll stab them with a spear when I pass by."

Moon Spirit smiled as she spoke. The King of Light's evaluation of her as kind was somewhat inaccurate.

"Suppose, if killing the King of Light could kill the Old God, what would you do?"

"I would cry, and then do it. This is the mission of all of us, higher than guarding the King. This is the King's teaching to me."

Moon Spirit looked at Bahar with confusion, not knowing why Bahar asked these simple questions.

Su Xiao walked in front. He didn't care about the Q&A between Bahar and Moon Spirit, but was checking Moon Spirit's data.

Name: Royal Guard Moon Spirit

Category: Human

HP: 100%

Light Radiance Power: 26300/26300 points

Strength: 203 (Real Attribute)

Agility: 220 (Real Attribute)

Stamina: 201 (Real Attribute)

Intelligence: 92

Charisma: 152 (Real Attribute)

Luck: 52 (Increases or decreases depending on the environment)

Skill 1, Resolute Mind (Passive, lv. 70): Exempts part of the mental control effects of Tier 8 or below, Willpower +42 points.

Skill 2, Light Royal Spear Art (Technique Passive, lv. 56): Long spear weapon attack power increased by 745%, Base Nerve Reflex Speed +35 points, Base Dynamic Vision +35 points...

Skill 3...

Skill 8, Bee Spirit Sting (Ultimate Ability, lv. 38): Moon Spirit erupts the Light Radiance Power in her body, shuttling at ultra-high speed between one or more enemies, while using the blade gun in her hand to pierce the enemy's body, each time causing 270 points of base damage + Agility attribute x 2.1 ignore defense damage + 52 points of Light Radiance damage.

Prompt: Moon Spirit will shuttle at high speed 7 to 12 times. If this ability is used on a single target, the piercing damage suffered by the enemy each time will continue to decrease.

Prompt: During the piercing process, Moon Spirit will erupt with almost uncapturable speed, and because her body is light-radiance-ized, the damage suffered is significantly reduced.

Skill 9, Final Bloom (Ultimate Ability, lv. 50): After Moon Spirit absorbs all the power of the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen, her consciousness will be instantly erased, thereby obtaining extremely powerful strength.

Prompt: After entering this state, Moon Spirit can exist for 30 seconds.

Prompt: This ability was bestowed by the Mother God and has been permanently sealed by the King of Light.

Moon Spirit's combat power was quite good. In Su Xiao's view, her last ability had no use. This kind of sudden power, while having strong explosive power, had many weaknesses. Not to mention anything else, it only lasted 30 seconds. Could this kill that Old God? It was simply wishful thinking.

This was an ability bestowed by the Mother God. The King of Light also judged that this ability was useless, so he sealed it. What did being instantly erased consciousness mean? It meant not distinguishing between friend and foe.

Closing Moon Spirit's data, Su Xiao walked toward his residence. The next destination was the Bug Kingdom. It just so happened that Su Xiao had obtained 10 crystal fat ornaments on Gem Street, which he could trade with the bugs. Obtaining Immortal-grade gems was the highest priority.

Returning to the first floor of the residence, Su Xiao took out a 【Directional Coordinate】 and used it. A golden mark appeared on the old carpet, deeply branded into the stone slab below. The initial coordinate was successfully set up.

"What is this?"

Moon Spirit looked at the "initial coordinate" on the ground; she was curious about everything.

"You'll know later; it will definitely leave a deep impression on you."

As Bahar spoke, it flew toward the bug tower. It was time to leave the White Town.

Su Xiao walked into the bug tower and began to observe the map on the wall. This was a map of the entire continent, marked with numerous scales. After searching for a while, he found a dozen bug tower scales located in the Bug Kingdom, and finally chose "Anlu," located in the middle layer of the underground city. That was the most prosperous area of the Underground Kingdom. After adjusting for a moment, the bug tower activated.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

All the resonance bugs in the bug tower began to chirp, and the surroundings became blurry. When everything faded away, Su Xiao was already standing in an unfamiliar bug tower.

"Welcome to 'Anlu,' friends from the Human and Beast races. Enjoy the delicacies of 'Anlu' to your heart's content, provided you watch out for flea thieves; they are all very cunning guys."

A voice with a slightly mocking tone came from behind. Su Xiao looked over and saw a large ant sitting on an iron chair. This ant was about 1.2 meters tall. Unlike normal insects, the two legs on the side of its torso—no, these counted as arms—were actually holding a... newspaper?

"The prices have been too unstable recently. How long are you humans going to keep having internal strife? Steam and machinery are the future. I shared them with you, and you didn't even take a look. These are all good things that can bring convenience to life."

The large ant sighed. At this moment, its four legs were actually crossed in a double-layered cross-legged position, and it was shaking them.

"Woof~?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had been to many worlds, and this strange sight was the first time it had seen it. This was a branch of the bugs called the Walking Ant race, skilled in digging and moving, and their business talent was also quite good; they belonged to very trustworthy merchants.

Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the bug tower. Just after leaving, gentle lights came into view. Although it was underground, there was no cold or damp feeling. A single-car steam train drove through the center of the street, and quite a few Walking Ants were sitting in the carriage, basically all holding a newspaper.

A large moth was also on the train. Because of the powder drifting around it, the nearby Walking Ants didn't get close to it. This large moth was highly poisonous.

On both sides of the street were small shops. Because of trade with humans and beasts, these small shops were very spacious. Anything over three meters tall wouldn't feel crowded inside. Next to the door of each small shop hung a wooden sign with different patterns drawn on it.

The single-car train drove by, the steam engine on the side of the street sprayed hot air, and iron-black pipes were distributed on the outer walls, with complex wiring.

A mosquito the size of an egg flew past Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes. When it passed by, it actually asked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang if he wanted to buy a newspaper.

"I... damn? This place is truly wonderful."

Bahar looked around, feeling that this time it had come to an interesting place, or rather, this was one of the pleasures of exploring various mission worlds—being able to see different civilizations and customs.
