On the cube's ranking, Guardians had already begun challenging each other to obtain a higher ranking.
People believed that Guardians should aim for first place. Rankings other than first place didn't seem to be of much use. They should challenge Ya, who was first.
However, in fact, no one challenged Ya. The Guardians who were challenged were basically ranked outside the top five.
This also allowed people to finally see the true power of Guardians. Humans with Guardians were equivalent to Mythical creatures. Then, they could use various Companion Beasts and Mythical skills. They were far stronger than a single Mythical Companion Beast's overall combat strength.
The battle between Guardians was far more complicated and interesting than the battle between Companion Beasts.
Once a Companion Beast was countered, it was impossible for it to have any hope of turning the tables. However, the battle between Guardians was ever-changing. Any factor could reverse the situation.
Apart from Lie's inexplicable disappearance from the rankings, the number of challenges for the Guardians outside the top five increased. Many new Guardians also appeared on the rankings.
However, it was obvious that they didn't understand each other. They were also testing each other's abilities. They didn't really fight to the death. Furthermore, it was very likely that they were hiding many abilities.
Even so, it was still extremely enjoyable for people to watch. Now, a simple battle between Companion Beasts could no longer attract people's attention.
People all over the world were discussing the problem of Guardians. There were also people secretly searching for Guardian cocoons, hoping to contract them and ascend to the heavens in a single bound.
Guardians were just too attractive to ordinary people. As long as they were lucky and obtained the recognition of a Guardian, they could ascend to the heavens in a single bound and become a Mythical expert. This was more attractive than any treasure.
One could clearly sense that there were many new Guardians on the rankings.
However, the trouble that followed seemed to have just begun. In several places in the Federation, there were incidents of Guardians committing crimes.
The Guardians owned by unknown humans had a terrifyingly high chance of committing crimes.
Although the Federation was already trying its best to maintain the situation, its control over various places was weakening day by day. Unless the Guardians took matters into their own hands and went to the territories controlled by the six families, the chances of them being able to capture the Guardians were slim.
"The appearance of Guardians isn't a good thing for the Federation," Sadie, who was watching the news, said with a frown.
"The current Guardians aren't that terrifying. After all, those who obtained Guardians didn't have a good foundation in the past. After obtaining Guardians, it's not difficult to deal with them. However, with the passage of time, those fellows with Guardians will have all sorts of Mythical Companion Eggs. That will be the true beginning of chaos, "Lance said.
"Isn't life and death going to be decided in a month?" Sadie said.
"A month is only a matter of deciding the ownership of the Dimensional Wheel, but the war between Guardians has only just begun. To truly resolve the problem of the Guardians, relying on the King of Earth is useless. They are birds of a feather to begin with," Lance said.
"There's still a way out?" Sadie said after some thought.
"Yes, just kill all the Guardians like Zhou Wen," Lance said.
"How many perverts like Zhou Wen can there be in the Federation?" Sadie smiled bitterly.
"Fight poison with poison." Lance slowly uttered these four words.
Sadie immediately understood what Lance meant. Since Guardians were difficult to eliminate, she could only contract a Guardian herself and use it to kill Guardians.
"I'm just afraid that there will be future problems," Sadie said.
"It's better than doing nothing." Lance paused before saying, "After I go to the Maze of Lies and obtain the mask, I'll think of a way to contract a Guardian."
Sadie wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
In this era, the path ahead was shrouded in fog. No one knew which path was correct. Only someone who walked over would know.
However, no one knew if the person who had walked over could come back alive.
"How's the situation on Zhou Wen's side?" Lance asked again.
"He went a few times, but he rarely entered the Maze of Lies. He hasn't entered the dimensional zone after Friday," Sadie answered.
"That's normal. Let's wait for everyone the family invited to arrive before entering the maze together," Lance said with a slight nod.
Zhou Wen entered the Maze of Lies on Sunday again. The Devil Clown didn't seem to have respawned. Zhou Wen once again arrived at Fate's Divination House and saw the twin-like witches.
Just like last time, they extended the cards in their hands for Zhou Wen to draw.
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. He wanted to see what tricks they had up their sleeves. It wouldn't be too late to deal with them after figuring them out.
"How many do I need to draw?" Zhou Wen asked the twin witches.
"One," the two witches answered in unison.
"One card per deck?" Zhou Wen asked as he looked at the two different decks of poker cards.
"Only one," the witches answered again.
Zhou Wen thought for a moment before getting the blood-colored avatar to draw one from the black-robed witch's white poker card.
This should be something like a tarot card, right? Zhou Wen thought to himself as he flipped the card over. The card he saw had nothing to do with the contents of the Tarot Card.
On the white card was a black symbol. It was a black silhouette. Although it was only a silhouette and its appearance couldn't be seen, one could naturally associate it with a Western mythical figure from the large and long scythe.
"Is this Death?" Zhou Wen asked the witch in puzzlement.
"Yes," the black-robed witch replied with a nod.
"What does it mean to draw this card?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"It means that Death will take away your life," the black-robed witch answered.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to say something, he suddenly realized that a black shadow of Death that resembled a card had appeared behind the blood-colored avatar. Before the blood-colored avatar could react, the black shadow of Death slashed down and killed the blood-colored avatar.
The blood-colored avatar's armor didn't work. It was as though Death had killed the soul and not the body.
Looking at the black screen, Zhou Wen had no choice but to drip his blood to be reborn. This time, Zhou Wen drew a card from the white-robed witch's black poker card.
A white poker card can draw a black Death, but it shouldn't be able to draw that thing on a black poker card, right? Zhou Wen thought to himself as he drew a black card.
Flipping the card over to take a look, Zhou Wen was immediately overjoyed. On the black card, there was a white shadow. Even if he couldn't see its appearance clearly, the wings and halo above its head undoubtedly meant that it was an angel card.
This should be an angel, right? What does it represent? Did I win? "Zhou Wen asked the white-robed witch.
"No, this means that he will take you to Heaven," the white-robed witch said calmly.
In the next second, Zhou Wen saw the angel's shadow appear behind the blood-colored avatar. Then, a white beam of light flew out from the blood-colored avatar's head before it fell to the ground and died. The game screen went black again.
