Chapter 1413: Door God |
After saying this, Gyanendra didn’t wait to see if Kim Jongyuan believed him. He stepped through the door first.
David was on the verge of tears in the monitoring room.
Why had he taken the risk of manipulating the Spatitu Space? It was because the energy consumption of these high-level evolved entering the smaller spaces was too high. If Gyanendra and Kim Jongyuan entered together, the space would collapse on its own.
He had initiated the space’s transformation and movement to prevent these two from choosing to enter, buying time for the energy to recover. This way, regardless of whether the battles inside the space ended in victory or defeat, there would still be room for maneuvering.
But who could have expected Gyanendra to still choose to enter, despite the risk of being annihilated by the space turbulence?!
Was this guy not afraid of death? Or was his grudge against Ye Zhongming so deep that he was willing to risk his life?
David checked the remaining energy. Because of Gyanendra’s entry, the energy had dropped by 22%!
Only 1% remained!
This was terrifying. He hadn’t expected him to consume so much energy. To some extent, this guy was already incredibly powerful.
However, David didn’t have time for it. He saw that Kim Jongyuan had followed Gyanendra into the space from the light screen.
David closed his eyes in despair.
It was over!
Everything was over!
He had done everything he could to stop these two but still failed.
But after a moment, David felt nothing change. Even the annoying voices of the people behind him hadn’t stopped.
He opened his eyes and looked at the energy display.
8%.
Huh? Not only had it not dropped to zero, but it had actually increased by 7%.
David quickly searched for the reason. When he looked at one of the spaces, he finally understood.
In that space, Palmerk was alone. At his feet laid a body.
David recognized the corpse. It was someone who had come with Ruan Xiao from Cannibal Chains. He was always standing behind Ruan Xiao as a personal guard. However, he had always worn a mask, so his true face was never visible.
Earlier, they had overlooked this person because there were too many people to monitor on the screen.
David quickly tapped on the energy display to check the recent records. He discovered that, just moments ago, the energy had undergone two sudden changes—a rise and a fall—almost simultaneously, so quickly that David hadn’t noticed.
First, the energy rose by 25%, jumping from 1% to 26%.
Then, it fell from 26% to 8%, a drop of 18%.
David understood.
In that short period, Palmerk had defeated the person who had come with Ruan Xiao, earning a 25% energy reward. At the same time, Kim Jongyuan entered the space, consuming 18% of the energy. This left the final energy level at 8%.
David sighed in relief, feeling that the goddess of luck was on his side today.
"Hey, look. Isn’t this person... Mo Dafu?"
Someone suddenly spoke up, pointing at the corpse whose mask had shattered after being killed by Palmerk.
"Who?" David asked, turning around.
"He’s the region manager of Cannibal Chain’s northwest division. He’s been here before and purchased thousands of battle beasts. It was a big deal, so I remember it clearly."
A region manager?
David was stunned. He recalled the information he had received earlier. Cannibal Chain had several top executives and region managers divided by area, each of whom was incredibly powerful, much like the deacons of Five Ring Money.
He now understood. Although Cannibal Chain had sent their most well-known southeast region manager, Ruan Xiao, to this event, they had also secretly dispatched another top executive to accompany him. However, they hadn’t revealed his identity.
Who could have expected that this person had been isolated in a smaller space due to a twist of fate? And because of the space’s movement, he had encountered Palmerk.
The eight-star evolved individual from West Asia was very formidable. In a short time, he had killed this top manager of Cannibal Chain, not only recovering energy but also earning additional energy.
This had saved the "rebels" from disaster, preventing the space from disappearing.
David stopped manipulating the space. He had done all he could. All the powerful individuals had entered the smaller spaces, and there was nothing more he could do. Now, everything depended on the outcome of their battles.
However, David was puzzled. As the victor, Palmerk should have been teleported out of the space. Why had the corpse of the person he killed not disappear, and why was he still inside the space?
…………………………………………………………
As soon as Kim Jongyuan entered the subspace, he realized something was wrong because he didn’t see Gyanendra.
He was certain that he had entered the same space.
This could only mean one thing: between the time Gyanendra entered and Kim Jongyuan followed, the subspace had shifted again.
Standing before him was the beautiful Deacon Water of Five Ring Money.
"You’d better not make a move. Wait a moment, and this place will completely collapse."
Kim Jongyuan knew his side’s stance toward Deacon Water and Ruan Xiao: they had no intention of challenging them.
But the response he received was a seemingly harmless, even beautiful, droplet of water, radiating a chilling killing intent.
Deacon Water’s face was serious. She already knew what was happening.
Earlier, due to the space’s movement, she had encountered Guancheng Chun.
Yes, Guancheng Village, which Ye Zhongming hadn’t killed, had been shifted to Deacon Water’s subspace due to the space movement.
To him, the Deacon Water was still someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.
But since he had already given all his assets to Ye Zhongming, kneeling here would be useless. Deacon Water, frustrated by being trapped, quickly subdued Guancheng Chun and began interrogating him about what was happening.
Thus, Deacon Water learned the situation. But before she could finish him off, the space shifted again. Guancheng Chun disappeared, and Kim Jongyuan entered.
Deacon Water knew that killing her opponent would allow her to escape. She couldn’t afford to hold back.
She had to get out before the space collapsed. Otherwise, who knew where she might end up if the space was destroyed?
"Ah, this foolish woman!"
Kim Jongyuan extended his hands, and two metal shields, each one meter wide, appeared before him. On the shields were colorful portraits of two figures.
They were the images of door gods commonly seen in Chinese folklore.
