"Run, run! We'll be done for if we don't run. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you run faster than his domain expansion? The moment he awakens, this entire area will be transformed into a world of thunder and lightning elements. There's no point in running. What we should be thinking about right now is how to survive in this elemental world! Is there a backup plan for such a situation? "
"Don't bother about the simulated battle. Staying alive is the most important thing. Let's get out of here."
"Can the Thunderbolt System be used in a thunder and lightning elemental world? What's the difference between thunder and elemental lightning? Damn it, I should've tested it before. "
For the first time, Rorschach was disgusted by this damned information linking system. When an unexpected situation occurred, there were too many voices mixed together. Through his own relay station, they communicated, argued, and held their own opinions. Rorschach's brain was getting muddled.
Taking a deep breath, the young man fell into silence and calmness. Then, he casually muted everyone.
"Go back and meet up."
[Go back and meet up.]
A simple order was given. The belief system of the Gods made it simple and quick to command.
As scouts, Su Nanna and Rorschach disappeared into the shadows at the same time. The hooks of the spider daggers allowed them to move quickly and quietly. The two cliff walkers' movements were in perfect harmony with the shadows of the cliff walls. In the eyes of the people below, they seemed to have become one with the cliff walls.
Yes, the people below.
When the storm of Chaos struck, it was only natural that those affected would come to the front line to check the situation. The other churches didn't have cliff walkers who could adapt to the environment. Only now did they activate their heavy magic armor and rush to the nearest source of mana.
"Should we stop them?"
Rorschach hesitantly asked. He wasn't worried about the life and death of these people. If they really rushed over and woke up Titan, it would be a huge joke.
However, Su Nana waved her hand directly, showing her refusal.
"They won't listen. They might even think that you want to monopolize something. If you block their way, they'll most likely attack you."
Rorschach was speechless. He really didn't have enough experience in this area, but after some deduction, it was very likely to happen.
After all, most of the people below had already cut off contact with their superiors. If they couldn't get any news from the outside, they would probably still cling to this hunting competition that was related to huge wealth. If a competitor came out to block their way, it would be strange if they didn't beat you up.
However, there was no use in explaining things like this. After determining that both sides were hostile to each other, anything said would sound like sophistry and deception. Instead, the more one tried to explain, the more chaotic it would be.
Not to mention, even though there was an unimaginably powerful mana source, these Hunters were still fiercely attacking the elemental creatures and fully constructed puppets along the way.
Rorschach could even feel that something was vaguely aiming at him. If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't have the confidence to completely detain him, they might have already launched an attack.
Shaking his head, Rorschach turned his attention to the situation in front of him. Considering so many things at this time was really not suitable for his style and ability. It was enough to take care of himself first.
"Everyone, prepare to retreat. Our target is the upper level."
No matter if Titan was going to awaken or not, there was nothing wrong with leaving this place first.
At the same time, Lori's faith system sent over a large amount of information, including information analysis and Titan's information. The information that was marked in red was the current emergency plan.
"Leave!"
This was the common choice of all the emergency plans. There were far too many variables in staying here.
Would Titan awaken? What would happen if he awakened? What would his attitude towards outsiders be like?
"… What kind of expression would you have if you woke up to find a bunch of strangers outside your house, all of whom you've never seen before? They've turned your house upside down."
"Beat the hell out of them."
"Yep, Titan would probably do the same."
There was no need to discuss this with the Hunters. After chatting with Su Nanna for a bit, I came to a conclusion.
There was no need to say anything else. Let's just run first.
* Boom! *
However, the ensuing violent earthquake indicated that the owner of this place, who wasn't so friendly, was starting to chase the guests away.
Lightning flashed everywhere as various lightning elements gathered together. Lightning snakes, lightning tigers, and lightning elephants madly attacked the surrounding invaders.
The illusions that had appeared around Titan earlier appeared in every part of this area as he continued to awaken.
On the way, Rorschach saw many contestants happily clearing out the new monsters that appeared.
These newborns were powerful, but obviously lacked combat experience and intelligence. Considering their status, they were quite easy to deal with. It was as if they were free competition points.
"… An unstoppable gigantic beast has appeared in the depths of the underground cave! Warning! "
Rorschach hesitated for a moment. As he passed by these people, he finally decided to give them a warning.
As for why he didn't directly say that it was Titan … nobody would believe him even if he did. It would be much more effective to just casually give them a warning.
As for whether it would be effective or not …
"It's fine if you don't believe me, but you even shot me with a gun."
Rorschach's words were slightly hurt, but he still said them as if they were a joke. His words were full of calmness.
He had long expected such a situation. In the current environment, it was only natural that "those who spread lies to sway the hearts of the people" would be attacked. All he had to do was be careful and avoid them.
"Is it worth it?"
Su Nanna felt that it wasn't worth it for Rorschach. His actions had even slowed down their escape speed. Although most people didn't believe him, there were still some who chased after them.
"I'm just casually giving it a try. It's just for peace of mind."
Rorschach shrugged. He knew that it was likely to be useless, but it was still worth it. At the very least, it would give him peace of mind.
After this brief interlude, the Walkers on the cliff didn't slow down. When they passed by the contestants again, they would still leave behind warnings. However, this time, they wouldn't leave any room for attack.
As it turned out, this seemingly useless warning was actually effective.
At this time, not many people were willing to listen to advice. Fine, no one was willing to listen to advice at all. Most of those who chased after them didn't have good intentions.
However, some people really did encounter Titan in front of them. Even people with higher IQ than monkeys knew how to deal with them. Their actions of running back indirectly proved the validity of the warning.
It was indeed not convincing for one person to run back. It was understandable for a single group to run back, but when four or five groups ran back together, it was obvious that something was wrong.
Some people casually asked a question, while others casually answered. Then, they verified the information with the previous message. No matter how stubborn the team leader was, he or she would still consider the authenticity of the message.
Some people answered, while others mischievously said that it was fine. When the long-distance running teams became dozens of people and dozens of groups, the proverb "three men make a tiger" became a reality. No matter whether it was true or not, there was nothing wrong with running first.
For things to develop to this point, Rorschach's casual warning was the most important. Without this "warning" as an argument, no matter how much evidence there was, it would be meaningless.
Even Rorschach himself didn't expect that this casual warning would give so many people a chance to live. It also made everyone owe Rorschach a huge favor.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to survive.
When Rorschach arrived at the meeting point, he was surprised to find that there were fewer people. The Book Goddess and the others had all disappeared.
"Where are they?"
"They ran away after receiving orders."
This was the expected answer. This alliance of interests was too shallow, and it was too weak before the disaster. Now that the disaster was upon them, it was normal for them to run away separately.
Rorschach nodded and didn't say anything. He didn't have any expectations to begin with, so he wasn't disappointed.
Looking around, Isabella, Archmage, Ariel, and the others were all there. Their magic armors were all activated. It was time to set off.
As for the Book Goddess's little priest, who had followed them to investigate but was now brought back, her face was flushed red. She didn't say anything for a long time.
Letting the priest be carried by Su Nanna, who was the fastest, Rorschach directly jumped back into his own magic armor. After a slight adjustment, he set off as the last line of the team.
Purple light flowed on the pitch-black magic armor. Faint lightning could be seen on the metal giant, and thunder could be heard from the engine behind it.
As a light magic armor, his lower limbs were obviously too slender and didn't have enough explosive power. As a heavy magic armor, this armor was also too weak.
Those slightly mutated thick arms made him feel top-heavy and unbalanced. This was also a sign that this was a new type of magic armor.
This time, in order to deal with the challenges in the underground area, the Game Church had unified and published this new type of magic armor that had been in production for less than two weeks.
It was about three meters tall. If one only looked at the external equipment, it wasn't any different from the original game. The most obvious additional equipment was the excessive number of steel cables wrapped around the limbs.
