TN: previous chapters and upcoming chapters will change the word Elixir( chapter 173) to Serum, sorry for any confusion.

From ages of old, those who stood at the top of the food chain have always arbitrarily started wars that cost hundreds of thousands, or millions of lives, for the smallest bit of profit for themselves.

In the long history of humanity, such occurrences have become commonplace.

And this time, what theyre being offered is eternal life.

If the famous tyrants of history were offered such a chance, what would they choose?

What does a mere loss of over 10,000 lives mean to them?

And its the same with powerful Professionists.

Even if over a million people, or ten million people in the world die, as long as they themselves gain eternal life, thats a good deal.

And theres more people who die every day, thats as normal as the sun rising in the morning.

But if they manage to survive that struggle, when they finally obtain eternal life, all wthats awaiting them is a horrible death at the hands of a strange clown, then why even bother?

The Game of Eternal triggers humanitys intense desire to live forever.

And the Murder Clown douses that desire with cold water.

Everyone regained their senses.

A mere dozen minutes after the Murder Clown disappeared, the effects of its actions had already erupted all over the world.

The appearance of the Murder Clown is just as mysterious, if not even more mysterious than the Game of Eternal.

Because it had already escaped from the territory of the unknown, and instead penetrated deeply into the territory of societys world order.

Even mechanical devices without any feelings like the Holo-Brains were under its control.

And its not any Holo-Brain were talking about here.

its literally every Holo-Brain in the world.

Holo-Brains are cold and unloving machines, they wont be fooled by any sort of mystical spells, yet the Murder Clown was able to do what he did.

Then what else can he manipulate?

War machines?

If you follow this line of thought, youll soon realize just how terrifying what just happened was.

Every country was in an uproar again, for a completely different reason.

The Holy Empire.

The Royal Palace.

Two royal guards as well as two priests were quickly walking forward.

The Holy Empires king, the Holy Churchs pope, as well as numerous palace officials were gathered here.

Report

Speak

We detected no traces of machine manipulation left behind, the situation is the same in every other country

Could it have been manually done? Someone took control of everyones Holo-Brains at the same time the pope softly asked.

No one can manually control every single Holo-Brain in the world at the same time, thats just not physically possible the head royal guard said.

What about other countries? the pope asked.

Fuxi Empires emperor threw his favorite porcelain item in anger, ordering people to check it, but no results came

The Freedom Confederates President and the representatives of the 9 Lords are currently in a meeting very rarely will they ignore all their differences to gather in one place like this, but from what we know, they havent managed to arrive at any conclusions yet

Then what about that Game of Eternal from before?

Its the same, we found no leftover traces

The Game of Eternals champion was killed by the Murder Clown using a method that we dont understand, but no one managed find either of them

The pope stayed silent for a bit, then suddenly asked: Have you found the recipe for the Gods Chosen Awakening Serum?

Weve still only managed to find half

The pope shook her head in disappointment and directly left the palace, ignoring everyone there.

Everyone was shocked at such an uncharacteristic action from the pope.

But no one dared to say anything about her being disrespectful.

The pope continued to ignore everyone and went by herself onto a horse-pulled carriage, letting the 10 white horses pulled her carriage past the large fountain square in front of the palace and headed towards the Holy Sanctuary at the East.

In the carriage, the pope seemed to be staring at the fleeting scenery outside, but said nothing.

When the carriage finally stopped before the gates of the Holy Sanctuary, she finally let out a sigh.

No one managed to hear her mutter: Its too fast, even this planet isnt safe anymore?

The S.W. Divine Temple.

A crimson red staff was thrown to the ground, letting out a metal clanking sound.

What a good item Zhang Ying Hao picked it up and tried holding it in his hand.

Lets hide it away first, the entire world had seen this little toy already Gu Qing Shan said.

[The materials of this staff isnt the same as any known substances, I need to record its data and characteristics] Impartial Goddess said.

Then take it Zhang Ying Hao answered.

He put the staff back down on the ground.

A mechanical arm reached out and pulled the staff under the floor panels.

[Sir, what I did this time has violated a total of 15 protocols that humanity had set up for me] Impartial Goddess spoke.

But your actions had frightened the people, making them not wanting to risk their lives for nothing Gu Qing Shan said without lifting his head.

[Violating the protocols is still wrong] Impartial Goddess continued, [This is the first time Ive tried being a hacker]

But from doing this, youll have saved countless lives, my friend, you need to learn to be flexible

[Do you believe your method to be correct sir?]

Its definitely correct Gu Qing Shan stopped and very serious spoke, we might follow law and order, but in the face of desperation, the only real law is forged from swords and spears

[I understand] Impartial Goddess replied.

Come help me saying so, Gu Qing Shan was quickly sketching out a mechanical parts blueprint.

He was busy creating the building blocks for the [Protector of the Planet]s core System.

Liao Xing was also with him.

The two of them were constantly drawing each part for the System on separate screens.

As soon as they finished one blueprint, the screen will immediately refresh, giving them the next part and problem for them to resolve.

They were so busy that they didnt even have the time to eat.

Zhang Ying Hao patted Ye Fei Li on the shoulder and asked: How does it feel?

Ye Fei Li was a bit regretful: After breaking the sound barrier, the flying speed was too great, so Ive not had the chance to try out many of the features

The voice doesnt sound like you

Impartial Goddess said that was the voice she calculated would be the easiest to create fear in peoples hearts

Nice, Impartial Goddess is indeed correct Zhang Ying Hao said: But then, what was that last thing you did?

Ye Fei Li answered: After Man Killer Fiends evolve to a certain degree, theyll automatically gain a special ability

Originally I wanted to just twist his neck he pridefully explained, but after thinking, out of all the Man Killer Fiends, Im the only one that evolved and gained this ability, plus its so much more visual than using space lasers, so I used it

Zhang Ying Hao spoke with admiration: God damn, although I cant learn how to use your blood glow thing, I have to request the guy to make me a personal armor as well

During the following period, Gu Qing Shan was fully focused on developing the game, while Liao Xing was busy experimenting with miniaturizing the warp device, both of them were so busy they actually completely forgot about time.

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were busy getting along, after staring at Gu Qing Shans work for a while, they both agreed that it wasnt something interesting to them.

And they cant even help with it at all.

After a while, they had Impartial Goddess give them each a screen to play an online game.

Time quickly passed, then night time quickly came again.

An old voice was heard once more.

The second round of the Game of Eternal has officially begun

The voice was not near yet not far; it was emitted from inside of everyones mind the same as before.

Unlike the uproar it caused the first time, after witnessing the Game of Eternal and the Murder Clown one after another, humanity had started to get used to it.
