On the Unparalleled Martial Arts Stage, the restless power of the serpent had stabilized.
Ryo Luzhi … no, at this moment, it was no longer appropriate to call him Ryo Luzhi.
The 'mysterious man' who pretended to be Ryo Luzhi, after returning to the blade, had absorbed the serpent power from Lucar, the Four Serpent Kings, and Ryo Luzhi.
The bloodthirsty will to fight, the endless power of nature, and the demonic energy that could wreak havoc in time and space … all of them had merged into one.
It caused his form … to change once again.
Finally, what appeared before everyone … was a white-haired man.
He looked to be around thirty years old, and his hair reached his neck. His head had normal human skin and appearance, but the rest of his body … was made of a mercury-like material. It was like liquid metal that had just solidified. Even though there was an outline, there were no details.
"Hey, hey … he looks so familiar …" After seeing his appearance, Feng Bujue could not help but say.
"He looks like a male version of Lute …" Ruo Yu heard Brother Jue and said.
"Hahaha …" The mysterious man heard them. One second later, he turned around and said to Brother Jue and Ruo Yu, who were more than a hundred meters away, "Feng Bujue, Li Ruo Yu … you are right …" He called out their names directly. "I … was created by 'them' using Lute as the blueprint."
Ruo Yu heard that, and her expression changed slightly.
Feng Bujue, on the other hand, had a cold smirk on his face. "Humph … this round of the Killing Game was not wasted …"
In the process of saying that, Brother Jue had figured out many things. He finally understood … why Date Masamune would hear of his name from 'Ryo Luji'; why Ryo Luji could do so many things that were beyond his capability; and … why, so far, the main mission, plot development, and system balance … were not proceeding according to the norm.
"Feng Bujue, with your deductive ability, you should already know the reason why I let the experts of the various worlds go," Yuan Luzhi said a few seconds later.
"Ah …" Brother Jue replied. "Of course …" He replied weakly, "According to my observation … that Ancient City is a part of your body. If you were to be compared to a bird, the city would be a nest that you slowly built with the binary fragments in your body. Anyone who enters the city … will be swallowed into your stomach. "
Once those two sentences left his lips, Lu Bu, who was on the other side of the stage, was shocked. Even though he could not fully understand what Brother Jue was saying because certain keywords were blocked by the system, he could still get the gist of it.
"In order to lure the super dimensional heroes scattered all over this space into your lair, you purposely held this so-called 'Unparalleled Martial Competition'." Feng Bujue continued. "Even though Frieza's arrival slightly disrupted your plan, you soon sorted out your thoughts and beat him at his own game. Using Sapo's disruption as an opportunity, you pretended to leave the city and stepped into the trap set by Chief Xuan." As he spoke, he glanced in Lu Bu's direction. "Lu Bu coming down from the city was also part of your plan, wasn't it …" He didn't wait for the other party's reply. He sneered and continued, "Heh … If you really wanted to kill him, all you had to do was move your fingers …"
Lu Bu's face turned ugly, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Feng Bujue continued. "When Frieza's group arrived in this space, a series of calculations had already been completed in your mind. Because you were worried that 'someone' beside the ring would be killed by Sapo, to ensure that nothing would go wrong, you arranged for Lu Bu to come to the ring. To put it bluntly, you timed it … to let him come to deal with Sapo. " He continued with a fake smile on his face. "Ha … if those guys in Cang knew that you put in so much effort to save their lives, I wonder what they would think."
"What does what they think have to do with me?" The mysterious man replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Yes, after all, you're just an AI," Feng Bujue said. "Even if you can 'think', you won't 'care'." He spread his hands. "But … your thinking ability really surprises me. At least among the advanced data I've seen, you can be considered one of the top few."
"Humph … just one of the top few?" The mysterious man scoffed.
Brother Jue didn't respond to that. Instead, he picked up where he left off. "Why don't you continue with your plan?" He put his hands in his pockets and continued. "You know Cang's plan very well. Every name that was announced by the statue looked random, but in reality, they were all personally controlled by you. So … who would be moved by the Light Star Moving Magic Circle and who wouldn't … were all decided by you.
"On the other hand … you already knew that Maeda Keiji was a spy. You used him to send you false information. Things like 'if the seal in the city is broken, time and space will return to normal' were all bait that you threw out.
Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Marquis Jimo, Cang … in Thriller Paradise, they were one or half a dimension lower than you, so they all fell into your trap.
You cleverly guided the thoughts of these NPCs and wrote the script step by step. You controlled everything from behind the scenes. "
Feng Bujue's narration seemed to have some kind of magic. Even though his personal combat ability was nothing in the eyes of these people, when he was talking to the mysterious man, Qi Tiandi and Frieza listened to him quietly. They had no intention of interrupting him. It was as if … Brother Jue and the mysterious man were on the same level.
"Before Qi Tiandi arrived, your plan was to be a bystander in the Mystic Gang Sword Formation and wait for the amalgamation of Lucar and Ghoul to charge into Guzhi City and reach the location of the so-called 'seal'. Then, at that point in time, you would absorb their power and Makoto's and Lü Zhi's power. " Feng Bujue continued. "Then, you would break out of the formation and kill the four Orochi Heavenly Kings at the side of the stage, using physical means to 'consume' their power. You would complete this stage of … 'evolution'. "
Brother Jue licked his lips. "However, Qi Tiandi's arrival and Daji's' pacification 'disrupted your plan. Therefore, you changed your strategy for the second time and had Cang and the rest leave. You made it clear that you would stay here to deal with Frieza and would not return to Guzhi City. " He scoffed. "Humph … Based on the situation at the time, the chance of the two groups of people working together to lure Qi Tiandi away and then attack Guzhi City was very high … Because that was the most correct thing to do. That was also the plan that came to my mind at the first moment … and the result of that was …"
"Hmm … To be able to predict my plan to this extent …" the mysterious man said. "Humans are truly unbelievable …"
"There's nothing unbelievable about it. I've only just figured it out … At most, I'm just giving advice in hindsight." Feng Bujue glared at him with his dead fish eyes. He did not appear to be in a good mood. "If you look back from God's perspective … every time your consciousness changed, it would have a strange effect on the scenario. The changes in strategy and action would cause even more reactions, and they would even affect the main mission. Unfortunately … I didn't realize all of that before your plan succeeded. "
The mysterious man smiled. "Ha … Even if you realized it earlier … in the end, everything would have happened according to my wishes."
As he spoke, bundles of matrix codes appeared on the surface of his body.
A form of energy that Feng Bujue had not seen before leaked out from his body. It was like a mark that could tear through space, and it floated in the air …
"Phew …" The mysterious man took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and showed a satisfied expression. It was as if at that moment, he truly understood that he was alive.
"I am written by Ed and Lynk … after mimicking Lute's original code and improving it," the mysterious man continued. "When I was first developed, I was defined as Origin's ultimate weapon. With a design philosophy that was far beyond a normal Anomaly's, after countless failures … the prototype of me was born. "
Feng Bujue had no idea why the man would expose himself to him, but he still listened attentively and did not interrupt him.
"Since the day I was born, I have been 'hidden'. I am not in the inner world, not in the sandbox, and definitely not in the scenario … "He paused for half a second." I exist in a special data interaction layer … in other words, the dark world that you experienced when you were 'transported'. I monitor, filter, and absorb the data that flowed on other layers.
This process stopped when my data reached a bottleneck. In terms that you can understand, it is around the level of V1 — God of War.
Then, I arrived here … This' strange space 'is an area formed by data redundancy, a meaningless disk fragment … If we compare the scenario to a' human ', then it is an' Anomaly 'of its own kind. "
At this point, Brother Jue and Ruo Yu shared a look. Both of them understood why there would be an Anomaly in the Killing Game — because this thing did not 'intrude' into the scenario but had been in this scenario from the very beginning.
"Then, my self-evolution plan — I (Infinite) was activated," the mysterious man continued. "Yuan Lu Zhi … was my first target. He was not that strong, but his power was something that I desperately needed. Therefore, I found him and imprisoned him. Then, I modified the memory of all his subordinates and successfully obtained his identity.
The next step was to continue to manipulate time and space to search for the power that I needed … "
"You should have known the rest of the story from the introduction of the scenario." The mysterious man paused for two seconds before continuing. "Now, the first phase of the 'I Plan' has been completed." As he spoke, the array code on his body glowed even brighter. "The ability to continuously evolve and permanently maintain the thirst for battle; the ultimate power that can control nature and distort space and time; the heart of a god that despises the mortal world and is heartless and fearless …" As he spoke, he opened his eyes. "Now, they are all in my body …"
White light glowed in his eyes.
"My power is close to Lute's," the mysterious man said. "And in terms of 'level', only ZERO can match me."
Then, he turned to look at Feng Bujue. When their eyes met, the black data flow in Brother Jue's eyes started to flow on its own.
"Oh? What is the meaning of this? " Feng Bujue scoffed. "Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to do this?"
"You mean V1?" The mysterious man said. "At his level, I'm not surprised that he was infected by a higher level of mutated data." The fact that he could say this meant that he had already read part of Feng Bujue's memory.
"Haha … It seems that you are really a powerful character …" Feng Bujue did not panic. He just smiled and accepted the fact in front of him. "Then can I ask … at this moment, why are you explaining all these things about yourself to me in detail?"
"Because 'Special Plan -F' requires me to do so …" The mysterious man was still blunt. "I can't lie to you, I can't attack you, and I can't stop myself from revealing known information and part of the future process to you." He snorted. "As for why there is such a plan in my body … even I don't know. I thought … scanning you would answer my doubts, but now it seems that … it can't. " He turned his head around and stopped staring at Brother Jue. "In that case … I will have to wait until I rescue Ed and Lynk from Pi's maze and get the answer directly from them …"
"Whoa …" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows. "You want to rescue Ed and Lynk?"
"Yes." The mysterious man couldn't lie to Brother Jue, so he answered quickly.
"Then I can't let you go today …" Feng Bujue said as he reached for his luggage.
"Hey … You … Are you out of your mind?" King Frieza finally interrupted. "Even if he stands there and lets you hit him, with your 250 combat power, can you kill him?"
"Are you done talking?" Qi Tiandi said to the mysterious man. "I don't care who or what you are … Tell me the whereabouts of the hogyoku, and I'll spare your life!"
"The hogyoku …" Unexpectedly, the mysterious man really said it. "It was hidden by Urahara Kisuke in the body of an ordinary demon general. That demon general stayed in Guzhi City for a long time, and his ability and intelligence were very mediocre, so he couldn't find the hogyoku in his body." He paused. "Humph … Of course, I found out about it in the end." He pointed in the direction of Guzhi City. "Urahara is a very smart person. He hid the most important treasure in the enemy camp. I admire his way of doing things, so when I found the hogyoku, I quietly transferred it again … and put it in the body of a strong man from another world. "
The mysterious man smiled strangely. "I remember … It was a guy named Kanic. His data strength is not bad, and his personality is … to the point of 'forgetting how to stop running in the middle of running.' He is no doubt the best candidate." He said to Qi Tiandi calmly, "So … if you want the hogyoku, you can go to Guzhi City and find Kanic."
"Hmm …" Hearing this, Qi Tiandi thought for a while and said, "Okay … I'll believe you for now." Then, he didn't waste time talking to the mysterious man. Instantly, he turned into a black light and shot up into the sky, disappearing in a flash.
Seeing Qi Tiandi leave, Frieza's cold sweat … dripped down.
Although he didn't fully understand the conversation between Brother Jue and the mysterious man, the general idea seemed to be … this fake Ryo Lv Zhi was so powerful that his strength was one or two levels higher than his.
Although the self-esteem and confidence of the 'Emperor of the Universe' made him unable to fully believe and accept this matter, the aura from the mysterious man made Frieza instinctively feel danger and uneasiness …
Suddenly, the mysterious man turned to look at Frieza and called, "Frieza."
"Hmm?" Frieza didn't flinch. "What? Do you want to continue fighting with me? "
"No, I want to cooperate with you …" Before the mysterious man could finish his sentence, a golden light hit his mouth.
With the keen sense of a schemer, Feng Bujue immediately figured out the mysterious man's plan. Therefore, he attacked without hesitation and didn't let the mysterious man say the word 'cooperate'.
It had to be said that Brother Jue's response this time … was absolutely correct and timely.
The mysterious man's plan was to distract Qi Tiandi first, then kill Feng Bujue with Frieza's help. Then, he promised Frieza that he would work with him to kill Qi Tiandi …
For Frieza, killing a creature with 250 Battle Power was just like crushing an ant. After killing it, he could also kill the eyesore who claimed to be God together with the mysterious man. This was a deal that he would definitely make a profit.
For the mysterious man, it was obviously a good choice to kill with a borrowed knife as long as it didn't violate the 'Special Contingency Plan -F'.
"You can't stop me …" Death Poker didn't cause much damage to the mysterious man. He just tilted his head and the wound on his mouth was healed by the matrix code.
However … Brother Jue wouldn't let him have his way. Taking advantage of the fact that the mysterious man couldn't hurt him, he jumped up and rode on the mysterious man's shoulder in an unsightly posture. He held the mysterious man's head without any restraint and didn't let him speak.
Faced with this shocking development, the mysterious man was unprepared. However, he soon spoke with his chest, "Feng Bujue, you should know that … I can … even without using my mouth …"
"Lalala ~ Lalala ~ I'm an expert in selling newspapers ~" Feng Bujue shouted at the top of his voice in the next second, using an out-of-tune newspaper selling song to drown out the mysterious man's voice.
"Uh … You …" For some reason, Frieza's face turned red and green, and his eyes revealed a strange look.
A few seconds later, he turned around and flew in the direction of his spaceship without saying goodbye to anyone.
In the end, Frieza didn't hear the mysterious man's suggestion. At this moment, he was thinking, "This space feels weird. I'll just pretend I've never been here. As expected, my own universe is more harmonious …"
