"As for the other members." Xu Xiaoyou took out a game recording tape and played it before the group.
As the projector began to operate, the images were cast before the girls' eyes.
The scene was very dark, appearing to be inside a skyscraper.
Several figures flashed by, quickly separating. Behind them, a tight black T-shirt outlined a man's sturdy yet slender physique. He walked through the darkness like a death god reaping lives invisibly in the dark night. The engine heavy sword roared and rumbled, and a strong sense of pressure emanated from the man.
"Whose body currently has Killing God Changqing's 'death mark' on it?" Lu Shuhang sprinted swiftly across the wall.
At the end of the corridor, several red lasers appeared, spinning and expanding in the blink of an eye to form a wall composed of a laser grid, pressing directly toward him.
Lu Shuhang leaped forward, passing through a certain spot in the laser grid with a relatively bizarre posture, then used a slide to avoid the spikes rushing up from below, before combining the twin daggers in his hands to form a short spear and throwing it forward with an explosive burst, piercing through the wall blocking his path.
"It's on me."
The youth wearing headphones responded. Sensing the crisis behind him, he suddenly turned around. His palms were enveloped in light as red-and-white leather gloves appeared. His index finger pointed forward, emitting a light wave composed of pixel particles, shattering all the drones chasing him.
The frame froze at this moment.
"The 'Champion's Hand of Oneiroi'." Xu Xiaoyou's gaze rested on the youth's gloves.
"The effect of this mimicry is very strong. It possesses the traits of the 'Horn Gate' and the 'Ivory Gate'. Attacks made through the Horn Gate that hit an enemy's back will trigger 100% true damage, while the Ivory Gate can launch attacks to any mastered coordinates."
"In other words, as long as any of his teammates have the enemy's position, even if Zhou Zuo is at the starting point, he can launch an attack directly, ignoring space."
"A bit like an ADC?" Angelina blurted out.
Whenever Akabane Tsubaki couldn't sleep, she would pester Angelina to play all sorts of games. Over time, Angelina had learned many gaming terms.
"Pretty much. Zhou Zuo plays the role of the ADC in Assassin's Creed." Xu Xiaoyou said.
"They have many playstyles. When the enemy's main attacker has strong frontal strength but the guerrilla's quality is poor, leading to the team's overall poor intelligence-gathering ability, they choose a very toxic tactic."
"They give up on a 5v5 frontal confrontation with the enemy and instead let the other four continuously maintain vision of the enemy, and then have Zhou Zuo perform long-range attrition until the enemy's status is completely drained, at which point the other four clean up in one wave."
"Of course, in most cases, the commander and buffer will expose a flaw because they can't withstand the pressure, allowing the four to find an opportunity to cut them down."
"That sounds disgusting enough." Angelina said.
"Anya~" Xu Xiaoyou drawled teasingly, "You should be the most relieved. Light-Chaser Garden's main attacker isn't prominent, our commander and buffer are very strong, and no one dares to fight a war of attrition with us."
"Whatever you say." Angelina didn't care.
She had decided that if Xu Xiaoyou ever got focused, she would definitely stand by and watch regardless of how the other begged, the kind where she wouldn't even activate her divine endowment.
"So, solve Zhou Zuo first in a team fight?" Bai Youyou thought.
"At least his movements should be restricted. Letting this guy move freely will definitely be troublesome."
"Assassin's Creed is the only guild to have cleared 'Valhalla'. Their mimicry weapons have been blessed by the heroic spirits within. Every person has a legacy grade mimicry, something even Queen's Arms hasn't managed to do." Xu Xiaoyou said.
Saying this, she selected play, and the recording continued.
"Zhou Zuo, be careful! Killing God Changqing has released 'Soul-Reaping Evil Souls' on you. Don't face them directly!"
Just after cleaning up the drones chasing him, his teammate's reminder rang in his ears. Countless drones were released simultaneously from behind, flying over with a buzzing sound, while two shadows draped in black robes rapidly approached him.
The undersides of those drones were filled with high explosives. If he were hit, his fragile frame would likely be severely damaged instantly. However, his hearing was very weak; if he didn't look, he wouldn't be able to sense the drones' positions at all.
But the problem was that Killing God Changqing's Soul-Reaping Evil Souls was a forced-judgment targeted skill. If one's psyche value was lower than the opponent's and they were hit, they would lose 30% of their maximum health as true damage and enter a 'Confused' state.
After the previous battle, his health was already below the warning line. If hit, he would die!
This was a death trap set by Killing God Changqing specifically for him.
Zhou Zuo gritted his teeth slightly. Two gates appeared in front of him simultaneously: one grayish-brown and one pure white. He didn't hesitate and pointed his finger at the pure white Ivory Gate.
Two light waves shot out, passing through the Ivory Gate. At the same time, another Ivory Gate appeared behind him. The two light waves shot out from it, hitting the two pouncing black shadows respectively and shredding them.
Zhou Zuo immediately turned around. Countless drones flew right in front of him. The high-energy explosives at their tails suddenly glowed with blinding light, and a wave of heat rushed toward him!
"Four-Leaf Wutong!" Zhou Zuo shouted.
A youth's figure appeared behind him, his long scarf fluttering and his four-leaf clover earring swaying gently. He hugged Zhou Zuo's body, and just before the rumbling heatwave swallowed him, a flash of electricity flickered, and the two vanished on the spot.
In less than a blink of an eye, the two landed together. The violent sound of the explosion came from above, and the top of the skyscraper collapsed. The two looked at each other and wove through the falling boulders, escaping completely in a short moment.
The frame froze again, this time on the face of the other youth.
"Four-Leaf Wutong." Xu Xiaoyou spoke,
"His mimicry is the 'Boots of Godspeed of Hermes'. Its ability is to grant godspeed force to himself and the teammates he touches. The duration is currently unknown."
"In many matches, cases often occur where he snaps his fingers and the whole team disappears, or the enemy is inexplicably killed in an instant. Many people guess he possesses some kind of time-stop ability, but that's not the case."
"This is a manifestation of godspeed force. When speed reaches the extreme, the passage of time will correspondingly slow down, which is why it presents a state similar to a time-stop."
"Brother B." Angelina said.
The girls looked at her, seemingly wondering how such a word could come out of Angelina's mouth.
Angelina felt uncomfortable being stared at,
"That's how Meijiu evaluated him."
"She fought this guy before and said she could catch up to Four-Leaf Wutong when she triggered Unchecked Rampage. She mentioned to me that his ability isn't time-stop; he just likes to act cool, putting on a show for the audience."
"It seems that while triggering godspeed force, his speed isn't as fast as Meijiu's." Bai Youyou said.
"If Akabane Tsubaki were here, Four-Leaf Wutong's mimicry would probably be heavily countered by her." Tang Xin said thoughtfully.
But the problem was that Akabane Tsubaki couldn't participate in the next match.
Xu Xiaoyou knew the situation at the Devil City Military District. Both sides were still in negotiations, but it could be confirmed that Akabane Tsubaki's current situation was safe; she was just still under surveillance and unable to contact the outside world.
