Chapter 704: Game Over! A Butterfly Can't Fly Across the Ocean—Who Could Bear the Blame?

Congratulations, player, for uncovering the True Villain—game victory!

Game over; teleportation will begin in ten minutes.

"It's over…" Su Yang let out a long sigh, as if a weight had been lifted.

He turned to the Execution Platform, and the night added a touch of bleakness to this absurd scene.

Since ancient times, the victor becomes king and the loser is vanquished; those who kill are always killed—nothing beyond that.

"The Yue guy wants to mess with me; now that's a clear challenge," Su Yang said leisurely.

He has never liked the Old Era Remnant Faction.

Especially these old beings who have lived for several hundred, even a thousand years.

Having endured until now, he's still merely an Ascend God Seed—how far can one become a demon?

The so‑called humanity has likely been worn away completely in them.

All that remains is a numb, indifferent heart.

For them, survival is merely a subconscious instinct.

"The Golden Throne appears at irregular intervals, and the Ascend God Seeds accumulated over countless years have been awaiting this day,"

"If one day it truly appears, how fierce the competition would be," Su Yang couldn't help but think.

This is not fair to players of the New Era.

First, the system and rules are neither complete nor mature.

Other eras have undergone at least several hundred years of refinement, with the top players drafting the rules.

Both the development trajectory and the retreat have been calculated with crystal clarity.

"We're ahead by several hundred years in progress… why be afraid?" Su Yang stroked his chin, a doubt arising.

Logically, that fellow Yue Zhao commands hundreds, and his strength is beyond question.

At the same time, he also possesses the ability to attend Round Table Meetings of other eras.

Just this alone proves he has an extremely rich Intelligence‑gathering capability.

In a world without communication, Intelligence is more precious than any treasure.

Preemptive action is always preferable to reactive countermeasures.

Just like this game, Su Yang initially did not know who the Old Era Remnant Faction were, nor that they carried a special Task.

Had his luck not been sufficient, he would have been utterly unable to devise a layout.

Only with the aid of Deception does he gain the strength for a battle.

Otherwise he would have already been gnawed to the bone, leaving nothing.

"But to put it another way… if I didn't have Deception, Yue Zhao probably wouldn't even know I exist," Su Yang chuckled dryly.

All cause and effect leave traceable footprints.

"Fortunately, Wan Shi Tong can be brought under my command, so I won't be passive everywhere as I am now," a sharp glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

Heroes across the world are like minnows crossing a river; this era, too, has players of extraordinary innate talent.

The reason Tang Youning has sailed smoothly to this point is entirely thanks to Wan Shi Tong's assistance.

Otherwise, with his limited means and strength, surviving the Sixth Death Game would be a struggle.

At that moment, Su Yang caught a glimpse of something protruding from Zhai Sixin's trouser pocket.

His heart stirred, and he took it out.

"Another letter?" Su Yang opened it curiously and found the very first line bore his own name.

"Dear Lord Su Yang—"

"We, your fellow slaves, will forever remember your kindness, your voice, and your visage!"

"In truth, I deceived you; Miss Diana, besides her will, entrusted all evidence of Count Rex's crimes to me."

"However, it wasn't on me; the last time I saw her, she told me the exact location where the evidence is stored, urging me to deliver those items to the king after I leave."

"She was brave; I cannot fall behind either."

"Although Miss Diana has done many wrongs before, if she repents, God will surely forgive her."

"We arrived too late; many slaves have already been sold to nobles of all sizes."

"I heard their lives are miserable; some are treated worse than the nobles' household dogs, alternating between hunger and fullness, and forced to do the hardest labor."

"Some are even toyed with at will, their corpses discarded in the wilderness after death."

"Those who have sinned will certainly pay the price!"

"I love my country and hope it becomes ever better."

"Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent!"

"Lord Su Yang, when you read this letter, you may already have fulfilled Miss Diana's final wish."

"I sincerely congratulate you and wish you continual improvement."

Signature—Respectfully yours, Arianna.

After reading, Su Yang couldn't help but picture her pitifully beautiful face in his mind.

And those golden eyes brimming with stubbornness and resolve.

"Foolish girl, the criminals in your letter also include the king," Su Yang shook his head silently.

For such a massive incident, if Rex had no backer, how could he act so recklessly?

Thinking it through, it must be that uncontrolled riots caused by disappearances below forced them to try to appease public opinion.

Diana employed the only tactic commoners have to accuse the powerful, yet she ultimately could not see the bright daylight.

It was a desperate move; given a choice, she would never have consented to a mutual demise.

Unfortunately, even if the evidence is presented, those criminals may not receive the punishment they deserve.

"Only by standing at a height that compels everyone to look up can one be qualified to judge evildoers," Su Yang murmured to himself.

No matter which world one is in, the principle is the same.

As for the so‑called justice?

"Justice indeed never arrives late; hopefully next time it can come sooner, so the wretched aren't left waiting so long," Su Yang shook his head helplessly.

Diana was driven by Desire to commit a wrongdoing, and only after falling into the abyss did she suddenly awaken to her mistake.

Though the evil deed is beyond praise, her decisiveness is admirable.

How many can sacrifice their lives in dire straits just to preserve a shred of dignity?

"A butterfly cannot fly across the vast sea; who could possibly bear to blame?" Su Yang tore the Letter into pieces and casually tossed it onto the ground.

"Bzz—"

The Portal arrived as promised.

Looking at the door before him, Su Yang's eyes flashed with an odd hue.

"Where's the settlement?"

Generally, after the game ends, the settlement arrives together.

But this time there was no sign?

Moreover, even after the portal exit appeared, there was still no news.

"Could it be that because I'm a Dead Person, I'm unworthy of a reward?" Su Yang furrowed his brow.

If that's truly the case, this round would be a huge loss.

He could guarantee that he unlocked the Hidden Achievement himself, and the rare Hidden Achievement was just one step away.

Add the Double Reward, and this Faith Value wave is not to be missed!

But if it goes down the drain, Su Yang would have nowhere to cry.

At this thought, Su Yang glanced at the motionless Zhai Sixin and felt a sudden irritation rise within him.

He immediately tossed the Small Knife from his waist onto the table and ordered, "Kill yourself."

As soon as the words fell, Zhai Sixin silently lifted the Small Knife and thrust it violently into her chest.

Su Yang waited a moment, confirmed she was dead through, and said calmly, "The knife is sent to you."

After speaking, he strode forward, his figure gradually disappearing into the Portal.
