Chapter 1849 The Last Moment

what is that? !

Players in every huge city raised their heads and looked at the sky.

Of course they recognized the eyes.

Can……

This is the first time for everyone to see such big eyes!

Even the prepared ‘broker’ is no exception.

Seeing the eyes that almost occupied half of the sky, the 'broker's' breathing stagnated slightly, but immediately, he returned to normal.

"What an honor!"

"We meet again, Your Highness the Witch."

As he said this, the 'broker' bowed in a formal manner.

But the giant eyes didn't reply at all.

Just looking at the 'broker' and the people around him.

Then, he blinked.

Suddenly, the entire huge city shook.

The earth shook!

But it's not just an earthquake.

But...

Split!

Cracks first appeared on the ground and spread directly toward the sky.

Huge urban residences that were claimed to be absolutely safe began to collapse.

Between breaths.

The huge city was reduced to ruins.

leftover?

There is only one platform.

A stone platform where all players in a huge city gather.

This includes both those who are permanently stationed in huge cities and those who temporarily leave huge cities.

Everyone looked at each other.

Totally confused as to what was going on.

then?

Most people don't know anything.

They turned into white points of light and disappeared one after another.

The familiar people around subconsciously raised their hands to grab their comrades and companions, but it was impossible. The raised hands could only pass through those white light spots.

Just doing useless work.

"I already said that."

"Isn't it good to be alive?"

"Even in a cage, isn't it good to live?"

‘Ling’ half collapsed on the ground, muttering to himself.

Such self-talk is not loud.

But on this dead-silent platform, everyone else could hear him clearly.

Or……

With the strength of the people under the 'remnant', they can hear such words clearly.

"what are you saying?"

Blair and Galvin, who have newly joined the "Lone Walker" team, are full of confusion.

"what did I say?"

"Why don't you ask that bastard across the way?"

‘Ling’ sneered and spat blood towards where the ‘broker’ was standing.

The 'broker' turned slightly to avoid the blood. Then, he turned around and was about to say something when he was punched to the ground.

boom!

The fist is strong enough.

So much so that the 'broker' fell to the ground.

However, the 'broker' didn't have any regrets.

Instead, he continued to smile.

Lawless, who was punching, landed several more punches without hesitation.

It wasn't until Rachel grabbed her shoulder that the lawless genius had to stop.

At this time, the 'broker' had already been beaten beyond recognition. There was no need for systematic cover-up, and his original appearance could not be seen at all.

But, he was still smiling.

"You know I didn't stop this fool to hear your laughter."

The tavern proprietress said coldly.

However, the 'broker' was still smiling.

That kind of laughter is full of joy.

Everyone was stunned.

They knew the name of the 'broker', and he was definitely not a lunatic or a fool, but at this time, he burst out laughing like this.

What happened?

Is it worth being so happy?

Everyone has this question in their mind.

"Did we survive?"

"Isn't it worth being happy?"

After a while, the 'broker' replied like this.

"What's the meaning?"

Rachel frowned.

"Just as you guessed - Rachel, you have also been in contact with that guy, right?"

"Don't you notice the slightest difference?"

"Aren't you curious about that strange feeling of being at the center of the world?"

The 'broker' asked rhetorically.

The tavern proprietress didn't speak anymore.

Everyone else was also looking at the 'broker'.

"Of course because she is the center of the world!"

Under the gaze of everyone, the 'broker' said with a smile.

"She's the center of the world?"

"impossible!"

"How could she be the center of the world, unless she created it..."

The 'swordsmith' couldn't continue talking.

The breath of the people around him was a meal.

It was as if he was being pressed down by a huge mountain.

"Of course she didn't create the world."

"She just gained her current 'authority' through opportunism."

"Then, in order to make this 'authority' more stable, she began to 'purge' those who were not under control."

Following the 'broker''s words, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

They thought of the original ‘Witch’s Disaster’.

"That's right!"

"It's just what you think."

"The 'Witch's Disaster' was carefully planned by her. Then, she began to form her own forces and built the entire huge city into a 'cage'."

"us?"

"Just the 'prisoners' and 'slaves' among them."

"She plundered our harvest with abandon."

"Choose people who can join your forces."

"then?"

"She hid behind the scenes and became a 'witch' who truly controlled everything."

"To make everything more natural."

"I showed up."

"The top ten from 'Under the Witch' also appeared."

"I was a puppet back then."

"More than half of the top ten are also puppets. What's even more tragic is that they don't even know their identity as puppets, and they are not yet complacent about their status as the top ten."

As the 'broker' spoke, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

He raised his head and looked into those huge eyes.

"Dear Your Highness."

"Proud Your Highness."

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"oh!"

"I forgot!"

"You made a slight mistake. Otherwise, how could I stand here and talk to you?"

As he said that, the 'broker' laughed again.

Different from the previous chuckle, this time the 'broker' laughed loudly.

He doubled over with laughter.

Laughing hysterically.

"Damn guy, at this time, you are still insulting adults!"

‘Ling’ angrily scolded the ‘broker’.

The 'broker' looked at 'Ling' with pity.

"Pathetic guy."

"Do you really think that you are alive because of the mercy of our Highness?"

"She didn't kill you, she just couldn't kill you at the time."

"Just like now!"

"Of course she wants me to die!"

"But she can't kill me!"

"Because, she has a slight condition."

"and……"

"You idiot, haven't you noticed that the sun and moonlight are still there?"

The 'broker' finished speaking sarcastically, and bowed to 'Mimosa' who was standing behind Lawless and the others.

Compared to the pretentiousness of the 'Witch' before, this time the 'Broker' was more serious than ever.

"Please forgive me for everything I've done."

"I had to drag you into this game."

"Because you are the key to this game."

The 'broker' said this.

"I?"

Mimosa was stunned.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Mimosa couldn't help shrinking her body, trying to make herself less attractive.

This look is not very convincing.

"Are you talking about this big fat sheep?"

"Do not make jokes!"

‘Ling’ scolded angrily.

But Lawless and the others were thoughtful.

Mimosa is not stupid either.

"Is it 2567?"

Mimosa asked softly.

"yes."

"He is the key to dealing with the 'Witch'!"

The 'broker' said matter-of-factly.

"oh?"

A confused inquiry appeared in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling feeling filled everyone's hearts.

That's a natural reaction to being at the top of the food chain.

People looked around subconsciously.

A figure appeared naturally in people's field of vision.

The figure shrouded in light could not be seen clearly. Even those who witnessed such light could not help but feel their eyes stinging. But what was even more terrifying was that everyone found that their power was restricted.

The body felt like it was carrying a mountain on its back, unable to stand upright again, and became shaky one after another.

The 'broker' staggered.

thump.

The next moment, he just fell to his knees.

"Is this your freedom?"

‘Ling’ mocked.

"Of course not!"

"It's the one below!"

After the 'broker' answered, he began to pray to himself——

"Heir to the dawn, owner of the dawn, controller of the plague, guide of the mist, devourer of food throughout the ages, guardian of dining etiquette, I pray to you..."

In a loud and clear voice.

Sunlight meets moonlight.

In an instant, a huge door appeared.

boom!

A devil's flame with a diameter of hundreds of meters flew out from the gate, and the flames shot into the sky and hit the eyes in the sky.

When the demonic flames exploded, everyone heard a scream.

The figure filled with light trembled even more.

Then……

A shadow covered the figure.

Woo!

In the kick that cut the void apart, the figure full of light was just blown away.

Cracks appeared on that glorious figure.

Wisps of flames emerged from the cracks.

Then--

Snapped!

The glorious figure burst like a soap bubble.

"How can it be?"

‘Ling’ looked at this scene in despair.

In fact, not only the leader of the 'Guardian', but also the people around him looked at the figure standing in the field at a loss.

The pressure that the 'Witch' had just put on them was obvious.

but now?

Was he killed so easily?

A sense of absurdity appeared in everyone's hearts.

"It's just a clone."

"What's weird about being killed directly?"

The 'broker' said, looking at the figure in the memory, he simply raised his hands and said: "Don't kill me, I'm useful."

…

Etandin was united.

Not the traditional Hokuriku Etentin, the south, the islands, and even the other side of the sea were all under Etentin's command.

All this took Qin Ran a year in total.

All year long, he waited for the cue to return.

But there was nothing.

But at the moment he became Etentin VII.

He felt the exchange!

It’s ‘Wu’!

A door appeared in front of him.

Qin Ran was happy about this.

Although he had some resistance to 'Wu', this did not prevent Kieran from recognizing his abilities. But just when Kieran was about to step through the door, a larger door that seemed to support the world opened. Appeared in front of him like this.

Moreover, the sound of mimosa came from inside.

besides……

The taste of food!

Kieran was sure that it was food carefully prepared by Mimosa.

Very delicious!

Without hesitation, Kieran chose the door from which the sound of mimosa came.

However, this return was much longer than Kieran imagined.

Moreover, the way he returns is by moving forward.

A gravel road is at your feet.

Qin Ran moved forward quickly.

I ran for three weeks.

Only then did Kieran see the door at the end.

When he touched the door handle, he heard the words of the 'broker', and he saw everything happening in the huge city.

Qin Ran looked at the sky with the huge eyes belonging to the witch.

Without any hesitation, a charged devil's flame came out.

Then, he rushed towards the 'Witch's' clone.

One hit worked!

However, more clones and projections appeared.

boom!

Demonic flames swept across.

The clones and projections were shattered one after another.

Only, after a moment, it appeared again.

"You need to find her identity!"

"She's hiding there!"

"Killing her body can end all this, otherwise it will be in vain!"

"Leave it to us here."

"Go quickly!"

The 'broker' pointed in one direction of the huge city and reminded loudly.

However, just as the 'broker' finished speaking, dense projections appeared in that direction.

Thousands!

It was like a human wall, blocking Qin Ran's path.

Moreover, projections of witches also began to appear in other directions, and it was impossible to count them all.

Their goals are clear.

Overturned and torn stone platforms.

Let the enemy in front of you die!

"What a terrible scene!"

Lawless said, taking out the weapon he had at the bottom of the box from his back - a launcher that looked ordinary.

Carrying it on his shoulder, Lawless took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.

"Peace!"

Lawless yelled loudly.

Whoosh!

boom!

The strong light flashed, and a mushroom cloud appeared at the end!

Suddenly, the dense projection was torn into pieces.

Everyone was shocked.

They stared at the lawlessness in a daze.

Lawless threw the launcher on the ground casually, held a cigar in his mouth, and said with open mouth: "Who doesn't have a trump card?"

"yes!"

"Who doesn't have a trump card yet?"

The tavern proprietress nodded, raised her hand, and a wine glass appeared in her hand.

Raising the glass, the tavern proprietress did not drink it.

Instead, it fell heavily to the ground.

Snapped!

Boom boom boom!

Blue pillars of fire rose into the sky, freezing the witch projections that suddenly appeared on one side, but more witch projections swarmed in.

Moreover, these 'witch' projections began to merge.

In the blink of an eye, a huge 'witch' projection rushed straight towards the platform.

Hans and Cole ignored it.

The former stood in front of the latter, who took out a capsule and threw it on the ground.

boom!

Smoke rises.

A huge robot holding a laser sword in one hand and a tower shield in the other appeared on the battlefield, with Cole sitting in the blue and red body.

"Leave it to me!"

Cole drove the robot towards the battlefield.

The huge 'Witch' projection was blocked.

However, in the shadows, something that looked like dead souls began to emerge.

"Hey, trump card?"

Lamont whispered to himself, twisting the two frost swords in his hands together, and a strange-looking ax appeared in his hands. As he swung it, a whirlwind of ice and fire flew toward the dead souls in the shadows.

The 'Lonely One' glanced at the 'Alchemist' Flamel at this time.

Not as sneaky as before.

But aboveboard.

But it was just a glance.

After one glance, he turned his head and opened the scrolls that were as tall as a person.

Wolves, tigers, lions, elephants and other wild beasts emerge from it.

The most eye-catching thing is that two bipedal flying dragons also emerged from it.

call!

After breathing out the flames, the beast army began to attack.

At this moment, auras of light appeared from under the feet of the Beast Legion. Immediately, the attack and defense of the Beast Legion showed a straight upward trend.

Levin turned around in surprise.

‘Alchemist’ Flamel winked at him.

The battle on the platform immediately fell into its most intense stage.

More players join in.

Mimosa is no exception.

While trying to protect himself as much as possible, Mimosa threw out scrolls one after another.

Not only powerful but also plentiful.

Even, to some extent, mimosa resisted one side's attack.

But the crisis came quietly.

The shadow at Ling's feet rushed towards the mimosa.

He didn't choose the mimosa on purpose.

Rather, he could see that Mimosa was the weakest among the players present. After throwing away those props, he was really vulnerable.

Then?

Kieran appeared next to Mimosa and stepped on the shadow.

The shadow twisted back and forth, but there was no way to break away from this stampede.

‘Ling’ was about to attack, but a figure passed behind him.

The sharp palm passed over 'Ling's neck.

The superior evil spirit bowed to its boss and appeared next to Mimosa.

“Protect the mimosa.”

Kieran ordered.

"As you wish!"

The superior evil spirit bowed.

Kill the enemy?

It doesn't care.

Performance?

It doesn't care either.

It only cares about the Boss's orders.

That is the value of its existence.

"2567!"

Mimosa exclaimed, and then lowered her head in shame.

Mimosa felt like she was being held back again.

"You have done well enough."

"This is not where you should be."

"You are what I like to see the most when you are busy in the kitchen."

Kieran said calmly.

"I prepared the food."

"cocoa……"

"It's probably gone."

Mimosa stammered.

"Are you ready?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

"Um."

Mimosa nodded affirmatively.

"It's a pity that I didn't get it."

"Now……"

"Close your eyes!"

"Plug your ears!"

Qin Ran said word for word.

"Oh, oh, okay."

Mimosa obediently closed her eyes and plugged her ears.

some things.

Kieran didn't want Mimosa to see or hear.

After all, he didn't want to scare Mimosa.

Flames erupted from the body.

The searing heat began to rage around.

"Demonization?"

"I've seen it more than once!"

"Nothing in this huge city can be hidden from me!"

"In other words, as long as it appears once, I will know everything!"

The voice of 'Witch' echoed above the head.

"I can rest assured that."

"I'll show you something you've never seen before!"

The demonized Kieran nodded.

Then--

"Greed, open!"

"Angry, open!"

"Jealous, open!"

"Sex, open!"

"Lazy, open!"

"Gluttony, open!"

"Arrogant, open!"

Sound like thunder!

Open once!

After transforming into a demon, Kieran's aura became twice as powerful, and his body also doubled in size.

After seven consecutive blasts, the demonized Qin Ran spread his flaming wings, already covering the sky and the sun.

Barbs appeared on Qin Ran's body at this moment.

Ferocious and terrifying.

What is even more frightening is that waves of chaotic and evil auras are like falling stars impacting the huge city that has been turned into ruins.

Suddenly, all those projections disappeared.

All that was left was the body that exclaimed in disbelief as it was washed away by this aura——

"Seven, seven personalities?!"

"How can it be!"

The ‘witch’ emerged from the ruins and questioned Kieran.

"Personality?"

"No!"

"This is a return!"

"Human is a creature of desire. Desire has been born since the birth of wisdom. Some people follow the trend, and some suppress their true nature. But me?"

"Choose a combination of both!"

"Both suppress and communicate!"

"Normally, they disperse and strengthen themselves!"

"When needed, I let them return to my body and become my power again!"

"I call this move..."

"Seven limits!"

All the emotions returned, and Qin Ran's voice was no longer calm, but he roared loudly.

The huge body flew straight to the corner of the huge city.

The 'witch' wanted to hide in the dark curtain again. It was only then that she realized that she was completely locked.

airflow!

gravity!

space!

time!

All suppressed at this moment.

The first two come from Kieran, who opened the 'Seven Limits' again after activating demonization.

The latter two are...

'broker'!

The 'broker' holding a golden feather waved to the 'witch', as if saying goodbye.

And this is the last memory of the 'Witch'.

Unable to move, she fell into darkness as she watched Kieran getting closer and closer and kicking her.

Then……

The huge city began to collapse.

In a way that dissolves into nothingness.

But immediately, a new huge city appeared.

It was as if it had been an illusion before.

At this moment all the hallucinations disappeared.

Also disappearing were the people on the platform.

Only Qin Ran, who had returned to his original state, stood in the middle of the huge city.
