"How did you end up here?" Mephisto asked abruptly.
"We have to be here, Mephisto," Rabbit replied calmly.
"What is FrostNova doing! What's wrong with that guy! Did she pass out again!" Mephisto yelled, his face flushed red, clearly Rabbit was not in his plan.
"You rabbit, shouldn't you and Rhodes Island have frozen to death in Kazdel long ago!"
"I cannot die yet." Facing Mephisto's roar, Rabbit was very quiet. She replied faintly, "As long as this land is plagued by the Originium sickness, our fight will never cease."
"Whether it's lunatics like you or infected people suffering injustice, we will eliminate them one by one."
Her voice was not loud, but no one present doubted her resolve.
"Haha, little rabbit, come on, if your enemy is me, then kill me! Now! Kill me!" Mephisto was somewhat deranged.
"No."
Amiya said quietly, "You are not my enemy."
"Then I'll kill you!"
"You want to die gloriously, but you won't succeed. I only want to eliminate your hatred and malice. Your death will bring nothing."
Amiya left Mephisto speechless, then added a killing blow as if to attack his heart: "I won't waste my feelings on people like you, at least, not now."
Mephisto's face became more and more distorted, anger about to cloud his reason. He hoarsely spat from his throat, "Do you want to be completely at odds with Reunion! Do you want to taste the true anger of the Infected?"
"The Infected are different. Miss FrostNova is nothing like you, and not everyone in Reunion is like you." Obviously, Amiya approved of people like FrostNova and felt they could become friends one day.
"What did she tell you? This woman...!" Mephisto: "I am the one controlling various cities, I am the one who can control those ordinary people! Not her!"
From the sidelines, Mochi almost laughed.
Mephisto felt like he was arguing like a middle schooler, his face red, and he wasn't even in the right.
Beside him, Blaze couldn't stand it anymore, "Yes, and as for being enemies, haven't we been enemies for a long time?"
"Amiya," Chen called out.
Amiya replied, "Commander Chen, please hold on a little longer. Rhodes Island's support team is also approaching."
"I'm sorry."
Amiya's sincerity made Chen blush with shame; she felt that her past actions had let down Amiya's enthusiasm.
This was the first time Amiya had seen Chen with a wronged expression.
It was also the first time the audience off-screen had seen it. Frankly, a wronged Chen was actually a little cute.
"Huh?" Amiya blinked her big eyes playfully, confused, "...The battlefield is too noisy, I couldn't hear your combat report, Commander Chen."
See that.
This is high emotional intelligence. Mochi wanted to applaud Amiya from in front of the screen.
"Heh, I understand."
Chen's face showed no expression, but the corners of her mouth curved up involuntarily.
"Please, go ahead," Amiya said sincerely.
Chen no longer hesitated and offered her suggestion, "There's an old saying in Yan, 'To catch the thief, first catch the king,' meaning to defeat the enemy, you must first capture their commander."
"However, be careful of his irrational subordinates; they will be constantly driven to fight again. If possible, please help them be freed from this suffering."
"Understood."
Amiya turned her head and looked expectantly at Mochi: "Doctor."
【I understand. You and Blaze go fight, I'll command.】
A prompt appeared, and Mochi rubbed his hands, "Everyone is working so hard, I can't just stand by. It's time for me to shine."
Chen and Rhodes Island joined forces, fighting Mephisto, Faust, and their subordinates. They thought the 5-10 boss battle would be easy, but Mochi underestimated Faust's strength in actual combat.
This battle lasted all night.
......
Of course, that's a story for later.
Lu Li usually wouldn't be present until it was truly time for action. He was currently lurking in the "Sanren" live stream room.
Sanren was currently tackling the fifth iteration of "Rebirth Cell Person," the four-cell difficulty.
The four-cell difficulty was already extremely challenging.
Here, 80% of ordinary players with unstable mental states could be filtered out, and at least one-third of the remaining 20% lacked reaction speed.
Not only were the stats of all monsters—attack, defense, and health—greatly increased, but the margin for error was also significantly reduced. Some unconventional playstyles that worked in the early stages were completely unviable in four-cell difficulty.
Although the further you progressed, the more scrolls and rewards were given, and the Cell Person's enhancements were stronger than before, you first had to survive the early stages.
In the early maps, players' gear and stats were not yet developed. Facing elite monsters with doubled stats, the margin for error was extremely low.
At most, one mistake, or even one mistake when not in good condition, would send you back to the beginning.
Even Sanren, who excelled in the veteran mode of "Siming Summon," was currently struggling in the four-cell difficulty.
"The Curse Blade build is not viable; the Swollen Eye makes you learn your lesson."
"Trap builds are difficult to develop early on and become a nuisance in the late game."
"So I want to try the scythe. The scythe has control and output, and it should be quite effective against early elite monsters. The combos are also cool."
As soon as he decided, Sanren, after respawning, inherited the scythe left from the three-cell difficulty and began his charge.
In the Blight Trench, he encountered the Three-Blade Sword Saint. Instead of dodging, he performed a diagonal jump, launching the Sword Saint into the air before finishing him off with a combo.
Looking at the purple sword in the Sword Saint's hand, Sanren found it increasingly familiar. "Why does it look so similar to the one stuck in the Greatsword Girl?"
"Could it be that the Sword Saint killed the Greatsword Girl?"
Sanren was very meticulous about collecting story information. The more unwilling others were to do something, the more interested he became.
Now, after gathering information from the previous iterations, Sanren had deduced the bold theory that the Cell Person was the King.
"Speaking of the Greatsword Girl, it seems her weapon is also good. Fifth iteration, let's try the Greatsword build."
After clearing the Blight Trench, Sanren's gear and stats had gradually become more solid.
The most difficult part in the early stages was the "Sweaty Cellar's" "Swollen Eye Demon." Not only was it more agile than before, but its health grew exponentially, and its tentacles were incredibly disorienting.
Sanren's choice of the scythe was partly to counter the "Swollen Eye Demon." An inch longer means an inch stronger, and the scythe's attack range was quite good. Standing on the steps offered a significant advantage.
In fact, it turned out to be true!
Ch-ch-ch!!!
The Swollen Eye Demon was spun around by Sanren's fancy scythe play, completely losing its former might.
The audience's envy was palpable. The scythe build hadn't been developed by no one, but it was true that besides Sanren, no one had managed to utilize the scythe so perfectly.
'Left hand, right hand, one slow motion!'
'Holy crap, the scythe build can be this cool?'
'Scythe God Cult, saving all beings!!'
'Rust Blade Federation, invincible!'
