I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

However, there is really no other way. In the current situation, only by uniting can we have a chance to fight back. Otherwise, it would just be like throwing an egg against a rock.

The best approach is to assemble a group of top geniuses.

Of course, the forces behind these geniuses must also have friendly relations. Otherwise, if the contestants are from opposing forces, they would never be able to cooperate and would always be on guard against being ambushed and killed.

To put it simply, Alabasta is an example of an alliance represented by the forces behind the Tyrant's successor.

He himself has considerable influence, both in terms of background and personal ability.

Another important reason that prompted them not to cooperate in dealing with this sudden change in the rules was that they could take the opportunity to openly kill the geniuses of the opposing forces.

This is a microcosm of the real world; even with unknown dangers, they will not give up the fight.

Wiltah approached Yuzuriha Inori step by step, and the closer he got, the more sinister his smile became.

Yuzuriha Inori was quickly looking around, seemingly searching for an escape route.

The two of them were currently in a relatively remote corner of the capital. Given Yuzuriha Inori's kindness, this was a normal place, and she wouldn't want to cause the deaths of innocent civilians for no reason.

"It's no use. You can't escape from here. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."

"If you're hoping to get anything out of that princess, you should give up. If we weren't keeping her alive just in case she might be useful, we would have killed her long ago. And now, we have her every move under control."

It was no coincidence that Beast King Tianxiao and his group appeared in the same town as Vivi; rather, they were on a surveillance mission.

As for why they didn't imprison her, they had their own considerations. Firstly, Vivi's power was too weak; secondly, Alabasta was under their control; and thirdly, they might be able to discover something new through Vivi's actions.

In the dungeon world, the original characters, that is, the native characters, will receive certain bonuses, either from the power of the plot or from the favor of fate.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until now to bring the Alabasta incident to a close; it's just that their previous strength wasn't enough to defeat Crocodile, the boss hiding behind the scenes in Alabasta.

Now, the time has come.

"You are inside my shadow barrier, give up."

Will Howe chuckled and said, "As long as you stop struggling, I promise I won't hurt you. Be a good boy and let me take you to that little bug."

"Although I'm not interested in his bounty, that sir has attached a high price."

"Hmm... I really don't understand why you're so expensive? What's the reason?"

"I really want to cut your body open, dig out your internal organs, and study every limb and every tissue of yours."

Yuzuriha Inori bit her cherry lips lightly, and suddenly silver-gray strips appeared in her hand, quickly condensing into the shape of a key. Then she drew a line in the air.

Click—

A crack appeared in the invisible barrier.

After Li Wei left, Yuzuriha Inori obtained the power to use the void in the Guilty Crown world, and this power, unlike in the original work, was greatly optimized by Li Wei.

Just now, Yuzuriha Inori created the Void Key, which can break any kind of restriction, including doors, handcuffs, barriers, etc., based on her inner calling.

Unfortunately, she failed. It wasn't that her power level was insufficient, but rather that her physical strength was not strong enough. At least compared to these so-called genius juniors, who were actually "old monsters" who had cultivated for hundreds of years in terms of the time perception of Earth and most parallel worlds.

It's not that Yuzuriha Inori is less talented than others; she just suffers from a lack of experience and doesn't want to cause unnecessary bloodshed in this world.

In this dungeon world, fighting can make you stronger—that's the rule. But not for Yuzuriha Inori. On the contrary, she heals many hearts with her singing and saves many people with her abilities.

This is why she is called the ethereal singer; ethereal not only describes her voice but also represents her flawless heart.

"You're really disobedient," Will How said with a gloomy face. "I've told you before, struggling is futile, why, why won't you understand?"

"Why do you insist on rebelling?"

"Is resistance even useful?"

With a wave of his hand, Wilho sent three shadowy wolf-like creatures swooping at Yuzuriha Inori. Upon seeing this, circular, silver-gray patterns appeared beneath Yuzuriha Inori's feet, and she leaped into the air. Just as Yuzuriha Inori was about to fall, these circular patterns reappeared.

Yuzuriha Inori used the momentum to push off and jumped in the opposite direction from Wiltory.

"Even if you escape, it's useless."

Wilho opened his arms, and hundreds and thousands of shadowy bats flew out, screaming.

Yuzuriha Inori remained silent, a long sword materialized in the void, and she casually swung it.

A white light shot out from the tip of the sword, colliding and stalemating with the shadowy bat.

"Didn't I tell you? This is inside my shadow barrier, how can you fight me? Besides, you just barely escaped a fierce battle not long ago, and you haven't recovered your strength yet, have you?"

Will Hao said ominously, "Shadow - Weakening."

Instantly, a dark gray shrouded the entire shadow barrier. Yuzuriha Inori, who was inside the barrier, immediately felt a sense of weakness. This was Wilhelm's barrier power, which had inflicted a debuff on her.

Affected by this debuff, the previously stalemated attack shifted, and the shadow bats rushed past the beam of light emitted by Yuzuriha Inori's longsword, ravaging her body.

Yuzuriha Inori couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"So the mentality of you insects is truly unfathomable. Since you can't win, why don't you just accept despair?"

Seemingly seeing Yuzuriha Inori's mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to say something, Wilhro laughed even more cruelly, "Pray, pray, let me see your final despair."

"Hmm? Who are you praying to? Which god? You rural folks probably don't know, but the gods you talk about are just beliefs spread by our forces, hahaha."

“Wei…”

"What? Wei? Which nameless god is that?" Wilhao mocked.

PAS: It's still past four in the morning... Time to wash up and go to bed.

Well……

So, a few days ago I had a sudden inspiration and wrote a first chapter that I thought was pretty great. I showed it to a friend and they said it was hilarious and really funny. I was thinking of updating this while working on my new book, but then I thought better of it and decided to finish this one first...

Chapter 387 I am the worst god you ever said I was.

Wilhao approached step by step, "Insects are insects, even the gods they worship are so low-class."

"How about this: you abandon your faith and instead worship me, the great King of Shadows. If you say so, I'll consider letting you go. What do you say?"

Wiltow's words clearly showed that he thought Yuzuriha Inori was a fool.

What he said before already indicated that he would not let Yuzuriha Inori go, but he still said that sentence just now, which was already a joke.

"I will not allow you to insult Wei."

For the first time, Yuzuriha Inori's expression changed noticeably; it was anger.

Several void magic arrays appeared behind Yuzuriha Inori, from which silver-gray chains flew out.

"it's useless."

Wilho's hands transformed into shadowy claws more than ten times larger, grabbing and tearing the silver-gray chains apart one by one.

"I really don't understand, why would a reincarnator as weak as you come here to die?"

"Perhaps this is your destiny. You reptiles are destined for this tragic fate."

Willhao chuckled somewhat morbidly, then lunged forward and slashed at Yuzuriha Inori with his claws. Even though the latter managed to conjure a Void Armor around her in time, it was no use. Willhao slashed again, shattering the entire armor and leaving several claw marks on Yuzuriha Inori's body, wreathed in shadow energy.

These shadow energies will continue to harm Yuzuriha Inori, constantly robbing her of her vitality.

"Sweetie, do you want to play a game with me?"

Wilhoy seemed to have thought of something else and continued, "If you win, I'll let you go. How about that?"

"You cannot insult Wei."

Yuzuriha Inori did not answer Wilhiro's question, but instead repeated what she had just said.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of void circles appeared behind her, and different voids flew out from them, some were knives and spears, some were swords and spears, and some were other weapons and props.

This is the Infinite Void System that Li Wei used before, but compared to his, it's a scaled-down version.

shhhhh--

One after another, void fragments rapidly crashed towards Wilhao, who couldn't help but click his tongue in disapproval; this was an attack that even he found somewhat troublesome.

"That's really scary... Ah, just kidding."

Wilho stretched out his right hand, and a shadowy black hole vortex expanded continuously, swallowing up all the void that flew towards him.

"Shadow Devouring Realm".

"How boring." Just as Will Hao finished speaking, a void suddenly brushed past his face, leaving a bloody mark.

Will Howe was stunned. After a while, he roared, "How dare you hurt me! Blood, you lowly insect, you made me bleed!"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because there's a bounty on your head, and that I won't dare kill you?!"

"You damned bug, you wretched bug! I, Wilho, will now turn you into a shadow puppet, so you can never die and will suffer eternal torment from the shadows!"

"Die, die, die!"

Wilhro's right hand transformed into a jet-black whip, relentlessly lashing at Yuzuriha Inori, who, having just unleashed Infinite Void Control, could only desperately defend herself.

One bloodstain after another appeared.

"Repent!"

The shadow on Wilho's left hand was entwined into something that looked like countless tentacles forcibly stuck together. What was terrifying was that those tentacles seemed to be alive and kept dancing.

With a flick of his left hand, he threw the object at Yuzuriha Inori. Once it entered her body, Yuzuriha Inori would be transformed, her soul imprisoned in the world of shadows.

“Wei…”

"I already said, what's the point of praying to that kind of trashy god!?"

Wilhao roared.

"Oh? I heard you called me trash?"

A soft voice, a single sentence, came from Wiltshire's ear.

Click, click, click—

Then came the sound of the shadow barrier shattering.

A man appeared in front of Yuzuriha Inori without her noticing, his left hand gripping the shadow whip that was Yuzuriha's right hand.

With a slight squeeze, the Shadow Whip shattered into countless fragments, scattering and disappearing on the ground.

Willow paused, then asked, "Who are you?"

"Me? Me? I'm probably a trash god, not famous at all. You've never even heard of me."

The man said calmly.

Will Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "So, so you're the one that bug has been thinking about and praying for all this time. It seems that since you were able to participate in this selection, it means you're his little lover?"

“My little lover, I will bury you two, you two lovebirds, together here.”

“But…” the man continued, ignoring Wilho’s words, “in some places, people call me God.”

"The true God, in some planes, some inhabitants believe that I will have absolute dominion, and in some places where divine culture prevails, they revere me as their God."

The man said slowly, "I probably have many titles, but right now, I'm probably the god of trash you're talking about."

"Oh? At least you have some self-awareness," Will However mocked. "How about this: if you, this piece of trash, are willing to abandon your dignity and kowtow to me for mercy, I'll let you two go?"

"So, what are you?" Li Wei's voice deepened, sounding extremely solemn.

"Me? But...but...I am..."

What exactly is he?

Who exactly is he?

After Li Wei asked that question, Wiltough found himself unsure how to identify himself.

What is identity?

What is his identity?

Where is he from?

In that moment of confusion, Wiltough almost forgot his own name.

Unconsciously, a few beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Then, as if realizing something, he gave a cruel smile: "Word magic? Ridiculous. You think you can control my mind with this level of word magic?"

"Word magic?"

Li Wei scoffed, "Ignorant."

Some words cannot be described simply as spiritual language; certain phrases are like rules.
