Chapter 665: Chapter 307: Mutual Destruction as Deterrence_2

"You believe me, it’s true, this is a secret we at Evil Dragon Castle have uncovered, but due to circumstances, we can only reveal it now."

Hearing this, Gao Xin looked towards the Phoenix Seat.

Great, the Phoenix Seat told him it was a Milanese secret, unknown to others.

Now Mandala is also saying it’s an Evil Dragon Castle secret, unknown to others.

Turns out, both sides are aware of it.

However, according to Mandala’s description, he did not know the incubation mechanism of the Dragon King Card and did not plan to challenge this easter egg.

He simply knew of this and only considered it as a means to perish together.

The Phoenix Seat was taken aback, scratching his head awkwardly, "So Evil Dragon Castle... has discovered this easter egg too?"

Mandala looked at the Phoenix Seat, first surprised, then delight appeared on his face, "You’ve found it too? That’s even better, it saves you from not believing me."

"Tai Sui, give me a chance, otherwise, I will have no choice but to attack the Angel Envoy."

Gao Xin said, "If you attack the Angel Envoy, you’re the one who will die."

"What does that have to do with us?"

Mandala declared loudly, "Once this challenge is triggered, the Angel Envoy will kill all those it sees, not just the challenger."

"It’s like any other common monster, it kills on sight, whoever it sees it slays."

"If it wasn’t this way, it would mean someone could be sacrificed to draw the Angel Envoy’s wrath, running around the stronghold, while the real challengers summon the Dragon King Card to attack fiercely..."

"There’s no such thing, the Angel Envoy is extremely wise and cannot be bound by any mechanism."

Gao Xin furrowed his brow tightly, turning to the Phoenix Seat.

The Phoenix Seat nodded, "That’s right..."

Gao Xin’s eyes widened, "Does that mean everyone has the ability to perish together with anyone? Just attack the Angel Envoy if they’re desperate? How can this be?"

The Phoenix Seat shook his head, "No, the attack that triggers the Angel Envoy challenge must be stronger than the total of all players’ ultimate energy output."

Gao Xin was startled, the total of all players’ ultimate outputs?

Indeed, if it didn’t even have that level of attack, it would not be worthy of challenging the Angel Envoy.

Furthermore, this rule was likely set by the top players, even in a game with all players as True Dragons, not everyone could initiate the challenge.

One must have the Dragon King Card, or the combined strength of multiple players, along with the Combat Card, to trigger it.

That rule also prevents just anyone from being able to trigger it.

Mandala shouted, "Most participants in this game are Hidden Dragons and Quasi-Elephant Kings, and there’s even you and Yak, two low-level players."

"Moreover, one Hidden Dragon and one Quasi-Elephant King have already died."

"The sum of the ultimate energy output of the remaining players is exactly what my Power Angel can achieve at full force."

"That is to say, I can now challenge the Angel Envoy and directly engage the enemy!"

"But undoubtedly, without the Dragon King Card, the Angel Envoy is currently an insurmountable boss to us; once we engage, it’ll mean a wipeout!"

His eyes blazed with threat in his tone.

Obviously, he was now threatening everyone.

If they did not let him survive, then he would carelessly cause the Power Angel to blast the Angel Envoy.

He would certainly die, but everyone else would have to accompany him in death.

"Sorry, Tai Sui, I hid from you the fact that challenging the Angel Envoy could theoretically be used as a deterrence measure for mutual destruction," the Phoenix Seat quickly apologized to Gao Xin.

"It’s okay... It never occurred to me." Gao Xin sighed lightly, clearly, the Phoenix Seat had not completely trusted him before.

He had not been informed of the details of how to engage the enemy, how to initiate the challenge, nothing from start to end.

It wasn’t out of malice, but rather a precautionary principle, just in case Gao Xin, after learning it, turned against them due to some matter, and used it to threaten them, right?

After all, they had only known each other for a day, and it was normal for the Phoenix Seat to be reserved after saying so much.

If the Phoenix Seat shared every secret with him, Gao Xin would actually find him a little unreliable.

But now, they were in trouble.

Mandala also knew of this ultimate challenge, and possessed the Power Angel, capable of provoking the Angel Envoy’s wrath and threatening everyone’s lives.

Are they supposed to use Yak’s True Dragon Card to fight the Angel Envoy? Fight with what...

"No wonder you fled to the wild area... It seems you are truly cornered; is this your last resort?" Gao Xin asked calmly.

Mandala said, "I know that at this point, whatever I say about friendship, you won’t believe it."

"How about you just let me go? Give me a chance. I really can’t bear to die in the game."

"If I have to die, I should die on the battlefield."

Gao Xin stared at him, knowing that after having survived until today, the other party definitely had the courage to go down together, which was beyond doubt; everyone present had this kind of ruthlessness.

"So you want a truce, for all of us to peacefully end the game?" Gao Xin asked.

Mandala nodded: "Everyone calls a truce, then we switch alliances. It’s very easy for everyone to be on the same side and then unify the territory."

"Don’t worry, I won’t participate in the negotiations, and Big White Shark won’t participate either."

Gao Xin laughed when he heard this: "Oh? You trust me that much? If it’s only us negotiating, the peace agreement could easily divide up all of your combat cards and weapons."

"By then, if you no longer have a way to spawn enemies, wouldn’t your life and death be at our disposal, and we could kill you if we wanted to?"

Mandala stared at Gao Xin: "I trust you, you would rather have a fallout with me than pretend to join forces. There’s pride in your heart."

"If you promise to let me off in the game, you’ll surely let me off... Just like you promised to keep Sivina alive, even if Sivina stands against you, you won’t kill her."

He recounted Gao Xin’s previous actions and words, choosing to take a gamble at this moment.

Gao Xin declared loudly, "I can agree to let you live, but you must obey my every command."

Mandala said, "Okay, except for killing Big White Shark."

"Hmm?" Gao Xin narrowed his eyes.

Big White Shark hastily shouted, "I give up killing you, Tai Sui, I’m just a worker."

"This time I owe you one, and I will refuse all future Tiger Whale assassination missions against you."

Gao Xin said indifferently, "Is that so? So both of you want to live?"

Both nodded.

Phoenix’s expression changed, just about to speak.

Gao Xin raised his hand to stop him: "You guys really dare to trust me, huh? Just so you know, for the game’s victory, I will deceive people if I have to."

Mandala’s eyelids twitched, forcing a smile: "Then there’s nothing I can do. If you take my card and still kill me, I’ll just have to consider it as having trusted the wrong person. I don’t have any other choice."

Gao Xin nodded: "Fine, as long as you two follow orders, I’ll let both of you live."

Having said that, he signaled Yak to return to the main city.

Yak retracted the Main Angel, letting Mandala and Big White Shark breathe a sigh of relief, they exchanged a glance and also withdrew their Power Angel.

They followed into the Black Emperor Main City, and at this point, everyone had converged there.

Gao Xin pointed to the adjacent stronghold and said, "You two cast your votes for a truce first and then enter the right-wing stronghold next door."

"During the negotiations, you can only stay in there and are not allowed to come out."

The two immediately complied, initiating a truce and then went straight into the adjacent stronghold.

After they left, Phoenix pondered, "We can’t call for a truce, can we? If we have a truce, they can launch a traitor action, killing anyone they want."

"You have to know, Big White Shark can become the Emperor."

Everyone’s expression became grave. Though they controlled the game, pressuring the two into a corner,

If it came to a truce, these two also had the advantage, as only Big White Shark could now become the Emperor.

His and Mandala’s two votes were enough to kill someone.

And no matter how strong their combat power, it was useless during a truce that prohibited fighting.

Gao Xin said, "Without a truce, they will definitely die together, we can only strip them of their cards by calling a truce."

"Relax, I’m having them stay next door. The small stronghold can’t reach the wilderness, so they can’t contest the right to negotiate."

"Besides, since they’re not staying in the same main city as us, they can’t betray us."

Phoenix recalled Gao Xin’s arrangements, somewhat enlightened.

Sivina scratched her head, frowning: "That’s not right, you might have a reputation, but that doesn’t mean they do. What if they forcefully come out, what then?"

Gao Xin scoffed with disdain: "If they dare to do that, they’re asking for death. If they don’t obey, I’ll just kill them."

"Frankly, I hope they do exactly that. I even deliberately made a few unsettling statements earlier, alluding that ’I will deceive people if I have to’, just to make them hesitated to entrust their lives completely to my character."

"Now let’s see if they trust me or not."
