Chapter 669: Chapter 310: Card-Drawing Tool

Mandala sacrificed the Big White Shark, knowing his chance for survival was slim.

"So I have no chance either, is that it."

Soon, Gao Xin emerged from the right corridor, the path Mandala and Big White Shark had come from.

This meant Gao Xin’s true presence had blocked the two from the right point from the start.

This was to prevent them from choosing to vote at the left main city and instead sneaking out the right side to join negotiations.

But evidently, neither of them would naively assume no one was blocking the right, hence charged straight into the Black Emperor Main City and fell into a trap.

"When you said not to kill Big White Shark, hoping both of you would survive, I knew you were thinking of overturning during the armistice."

Gao Xin revealed himself, explaining that from the moment Mandala defended Big White Shark when surrendering, he knew they certainly intended to resist.

Otherwise, why care whether someone else survives when you’re unsure of your own fate? Big White Shark wasn’t his father.

Mandala furrowed his brows, "Yes, if I truly wanted only to survive and completely gave up resisting, then I shouldn’t care about Big White Shark’s life."

"If I kill Big White Shark as a testimony, will you honor the agreement and spare me?"

Gao Xin nodded, "I would. I stated from the outset, I didn’t intend to harm you, just to be cautious of you."

"You chose a narrow path for yourself; it’s evident that my caution toward you was indeed necessary."

Mandala smiled bitterly.

Originally, peacefully alongside Gao Xin, he jumped to the opposite side because Gao Xin deceived him.

In the end, the other side’s Big White Shark and Lester died, leaving only him struggling to survive alone.

Similarly deceived Li Fengqing now recalls, it’s rare to be so muddled.

Does he still have a chance? He thought frantically at that moment.

"After the ceasefire, I’ll lose my Combat Card, right...?"

"I will unhesitatingly resist, and attack the Angel Envoy."

"When the ultimate challenge comes, everyone relies on their abilities; we’ll see who survives."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xin laughed, "Indeed, that’s your thought, thinking that even if the betrayal fails, there’s still a chance to go down together..."

"Heh, do you think I didn’t anticipate that?"

Mandala paused, "If you anticipated it, why not have Li Fengqing vote for me?"

He thought if Li Fengqing had voted for him earlier, he would have been eliminated.

And with his death, the sub-dragon card would be gone, and how could they initiate the beast fight? The remaining Big White Shark wouldn’t even have the chance to die together.

Since Gao Xin anticipated they would act thus, why not have Li Fengqing vote to kill him instead of the Big White Shark?

"Could it be... it’s because of my sub-dragon card?"

Gao Xin replied, "Yes, a sub-dragon card is quite precious indeed."

Mandala asked, "But during the execution of the agreement, I can resist too, directly attacking the Angel Envoy, starting the beast fight."

Gao Xin shook his head, "Heh, then go ahead and start it, what’s the big deal?"

Mandala was startled, "What?"

Gao Xin coldly stared at him, "Starting the beast fight doesn’t equal going down together, they’re separate matters."

"I guess you’ve also considered using the ultimate challenge to have us target the Angel Envoy while hiding to occupy territory and finish the game to escape, right?"

"Though very difficult, it’s not entirely impossible."

"Heh, that’s as far as you dared to think, but I’m different, I decided to take down the Angel Envoy."

Mandala was shocked, "Ah? You seriously want to tackle the ultimate egg?"

Gao Xin confidently said, "Yes, I want to win it all."

Mandala’s mouth twitched, "You’re truly insane, what level are you exactly? Dare to challenge the Angel Envoy?"

"Even with the Dragon King card, there’s no way you could survive against the Angel Envoy."

"This challenge goes beyond what your level can stake!"

Gao Xin calmly stated, "I admit you’re correct; however, I’m not alone here."

"The actual challengers are me and Yak together."

Mandala’s pupils trembled, recalling the pressure from their joint efforts.

It was an incredibly terrifying consciousness, surpassing the imagination of human civilization.

Two mythical swords together, plus each having a Dragon King card, could possibly succeed in the challenge?

He didn’t know...

But he thought of one point, which is even if failing, if the two could preserve survival for a long time, they would still greatly benefit.

Since if they truly can’t progress, then they merely need to survive while circling points to occupy all territory.

They have allies, as long as during the next peaceful phase, everyone turns to the same camp.

Occupying all territory would end the game too.

In other words, the consciousness of their combined swords, as long as it’s strong enough to survive long enough under the Dragon King, the upper limit might win the egg, the lower limit they could pass the game.

"Hsss..." Mandala gasped.

Gao Xin continued, "When the peaceful phase arrives, the Angel Envoy will personally enforce the agreement, which truly is the last chance to start the beast fight."

"But no worries, start if you wish, because after this, the command of the Energy Angel no longer belongs to you; rather, it transfers to Yak."

"Ultimately, as long as the card belongs to us, that’s all that matters; with your sub-dragon card, Yak will give birth to a Dragon King card."

Mandala’s face turned ugly, "Not just a sub-dragon card... you could wait for more cards."

Gao Xin smiled, "Indeed, negotiation rights are in our hands, ending whenever we wish."

"The best growth period isn’t the peaceful phase, but precisely the ceasefire phase."

"It prohibits all battles, violators will be killed instantly, so we can completely wait until all the cards are collected before ending the negotiations."

Upon hearing this, Mandala’s head buzzed.

Gao Xin and the others are not afraid of mutual destruction when a battle is initiated, because from the beginning, they decided to challenge the Ultimate Egg.

Given this realization, the idea of mutual destruction he and Big White Shark consider is laughable.

They plan to challenge in the end anyway, does it matter who initiates the battle?

Not only will Gao Xin and the others not end the negotiations quickly, but they’ll also keep dragging them on.

During the ceasefire phase, all battles are prohibited, including card battles.

So although Mandala can also benefit by continuously drawing cards... it’s useless, besides summoning the Angel for a touch, he can’t do anything.

Finally, when everyone has developed enough, they enter the peace phase.

Sure, he can then summon to attack, but in the peace agreement, Gao Xin will definitely demand all his cards!

The peace agreement is sacred and inviolable, he can at most use the card collection opportunity to start a battle, while all combat cards will still be transferred to Gao Xin and the others.

That means, during this period, any good cards Mandala draws are useless, they are all drawn for Gao Xin.

Without control over the negotiation rights, he’s just a card drawing tool!

"You..." Mandala is infuriated.

One more person, one more source for card drawing. Gao Xin simply treats him like a crop to be harvested, the longer he lives, the more cards will be exploited by the unfair treaty!

"Is there such a playstyle?"

Gao Xin slightly smiled: "You seem to only be missing one True Dragon... I’m quite looking forward to you also nurturing a Dragon King Card."

"If there were two, that would be even better, since they would both be mine."

"I’m only afraid of you ’immediately initiating a battle,’ never your so-called ’initiating a battle later.’

"Because no matter how long ’later’ is, I decide it."

Mandala holds his head and retreats repeatedly: "I see... I see... negotiation rights are the most important."

"So you are more eager to kill Big White Shark first, because he is the Emperor, with priority negotiation rights."

"As long as Sivina is not the Emperor, he can squeeze her out and go into negotiations himself... so you must have Li Fengqing cast a vote for him."

"With that vote, even if he enters the Diplomatic Square, he would die five minutes later."

"But... how dare you gamble? What if? What if we come over not to root out traitors, but rush directly outside to seize negotiation spots?"

Gao Xin shrugged: "Is there really so many ’what ifs’?"

"I’ve been guarding the right-side location for you, if your goal isn’t rooting out traitors, but seizing spots..."

"Then you should’ve rushed to the right side initially, and escaped through the direction of the White Empire, directly encountering my true form."

"But battles are prohibited during the ceasefire phase, my Sub-dragon and Energy Angel can block your way, you won’t reach the White Emperor Main City."

"Similarly, even if you turn back, it’s too late. I would immediately inform Li Fengqing, but into your previous location, plus a bunch of Angels to block the door."

"In this way, you can only move back and forth between Black Emperor Right Wing and White Emperor Left Wing locations, unable to enter any main city."

"The final result is, from you being a card drawing tool alone, it turns into both of you becoming my card drawing tools."

"Of course, in this way Big White Shark also wouldn’t die so awkwardly, I think he might choose to self-destruct, trying to replace me at the last moment."

Mandala is dumbfounded: "Who says you’ll definitely walk from that side, if I had known all this, I would have let Big White Shark rush into Black Emperor Main City from the start, then squeeze Sivina out as the Emperor, to negotiate."

Gao Xin laughed: "Impossible."

Mandala, hair disheveled, roared: "Why impossible!"

Gao Xin pursed his lips: "Taking a thousand steps back, even if he goes into negotiations, what will he talk about? Whatever they negotiate, we won’t agree, won’t it end up still drawing cards indefinitely?"

"Cards can only be drawn in the locations, so the result remains me and you drawing cards here endlessly..."

Mandala shouted: "There’s also reopening battles! Any negotiating player can, if they wish, directly end the negotiation and return to the battle phase!"

Gao Xin laughed: "Wouldn’t that return to the beginning again?"

"At that time, are you struck dead by Yak’s True Dragon, or mutually destroyed by initiating a battle?"

"If the purpose of rushing out is to return to the battle phase for mutual destruction, then why did you beg for mercy and surrender to me previously!"

"Since you’ve surrendered, I let you stay obediently in the small location, why not listen, and still come out?"

Mandala opened his mouth, finally speechless.

He spoke of a possibility involving double standards, which is why Gao Xin said it was impossible.

If one wants mutual destruction, don’t surrender initially, if surrendered, then listen obediently, and bet on Gao Xin’s character.

Since choosing to surrender, in the ceasefire period hoping to reverse the situation and manipulate, it is impossible to rush out to seize negotiation spots right away.

Gao Xin said calmly: "If choosing the road of mutual destruction, decide it right at the start, there may still be a glimmer of hope."

"Yet almost all normal people have the same flaw, which is not wanting to risk everything unless absolutely necessary."

"However, often by the time they dare to risk it, the opportunity is gone."

"Mandala, no matter how many ’what ifs’ you consider now, it is meaningless."

"When you’ve equated ’challenging the Angel Envoy with mutual destruction,’ this ridiculous ’experience’ has already doomed your defeat."

Upon hearing these words, Mandala felt exceedingly melancholic.

Gao Xin saw through all their thoughts, and regardless of what they do, he can respond.

The root cause is because they consider challenging the Angel Envoy a dead-end, whereas Gao Xin thinks quite the opposite.

He worked so hard to defeat the Angel Envoy!

It’s not about intelligence, but the level of thinking of both sides that was not on the same level from the start.

With just this one thinking blind spot, Gao Xin could easily defeat them.
