Chapter 1383 - Chapter 1383 Chapter 1383 Conditions

Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383: Conditions Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383: Conditions Everyone was in an uproar, not expecting Li Yao to have such a contingency plan at hand, as a chorus of curses rang out.

Seeing something akin to armor that obviously could not be dispelled, they all knew it was of no use as armor; on the contrary, it was more like shackles restraining their attributes.

But as much as they raged, the players had never come across such an against-the-odds tactic.

The players’ approach to the game was simple: the pattern of leveling up by slaying monsters was deeply ingrained, and even when using items, they were related to oneself, like localized items. They had no experience with such large-scale strategies.

In truth, the players had not truly integrated themselves into this fantasy world. It would take them many years to mature their various play styles and tactics. The players still had a long journey ahead, and it was not easy to change many of their conceptions. Even if their conceptions changed, how to act on them could not be conceived overnight.

However, their curses were to no avail. Not just the players present, but even the viewers watching the live broadcast wished they could be like Li Yao and have the credentials to join this battle of the mighty.

But for now, this was merely a fantasy. Players remained obsessed with the power of skills, neglecting the most basic elements, believing basic skills and power were too weak.

In this battle, those could barely make a difference, at least not enough to change the outcome.

Just like just now, when a group of super-strong players attempted a sneak attack, only to be easily dealt with by the three individuals. It would be one thing if it were just the two goddesses, but Li Yao’s participation made it difficult for them to accept, and they were clueless about where they fell short.

The demise of several players also served as a warning to the lurking super-experts. Even the exceedingly arrogant alien players dared not act rashly, instead waiting silently.

They no longer wished to influence the battle; their most urgent hope was to seize an opportunity to grab the spoils when the three individuals reached a verdict. After all, two of the bosses were projections of gods, and Li Yao himself had plenty of good stuff, so the loot was bound to be superb.

At this moment, everyone awaited the choice of the two goddesses.

The so-called three paths, any discerning observer could see.

The first was for the two to continue pursuing Li Yao. However, given the current situation, with Li Yao’s whereabouts unknown–likely at the bottom of the lake–it was clear but difficult to find him.

The two goddesses were extremely powerful in aerial combat, but in the water, it wasn’t just about Li Yao; there was also a sea monster, and with Li Yao’s recent blessings, diving in was unlikely to end well.

It might be very difficult for Li Yao to slay them underwater, but at the very least, he could leave the two goddesses in a sorry state.

To be outwitted by Li Yao today was one thing, but to let all onlookers witness their disgrace was something they could not accept, no matter what.

The second path was for the two of them to fight to the death, ending the battle here. But the situation they would face was not optimistic. Li Yao, now one of the chess players, could definitely determine the outcome.

Whichever side Li Yao assisted, the other would likely face defeat. But in that case, they had to be prepared to be further extorted by Li Yao, which they viewed as an immense insult.

The third path, naturally, was to cease fighting, to lift the spatial lockdown here, and disperse without giving Li Yao an opportunity to blackmail them.

But the problem was, the Flash Goddess had spent a long time locating the Lion Scorpion Goddess’s stronghold. If the Lion Scorpion Goddess managed to escape today, it would likely be impossible to find her again.

The key issue was, even if the Flash Goddess wanted to retreat, the Lion Scorpion Goddess might not agree. It was known in the prime material plane that Purple Water Chestnut’s foundations were definitely not as strong as the Flash’s, and the gap was massive.

With so many believers, Ross could not only recover from injuries quickly, but as time passed, this projection could become the world itself, and it was even possible for a demigod.

The gap between the two would probably keep widening, and Purple Water Chestnut would become a hunted rat.

Instead, it might be better to fight to the death now while Ross was severely injured and not getting nourished by the physical forms, to settle the outcome while her strength was diminished.

Therefore, it seemed like there were three options, but upon closer consideration, the two goddesses only had the second one.

“Damn mortals.”

Goddess Ross shot a beam of blue light from her eyes, which directly hit the watery form of Li Yao that had been conjured.

The water form shattered noisily, turning into a spray of water droplets.

The water surged, and many water forms resembling Li Yao appeared around them.

“Why bother? Even if you shatter thousands of water forms, I won’t suffer the slightest injury.”

Li Yao’s voice emitted simultaneously from the mouths of multiple water forms.

The two goddesses were furious, their eyes flashing as they swept their gazes across the great lake and the crowd of players, trying to locate Li Yao.

But to their disappointment, there was no sign of Li Yao among the players, and in the lake, there were only sea monsters lurking under the water, watching them keenly, swimming back and forth–it was clear that just like before, they were searching for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, like when they severely injured Goddess Ross.

“Speak, what do you want this time.” Purple Water Chestnut retracted her divine sight, unable to find Li Yao and unwilling to give up the only chance to kill Ross, she chose to compromise.

Of course, she had already resolved that once Ross was killed, Li Yao must be eliminated too.

On the other hand, Ross’s expression changed as she also said, “Aside from the weapons in our hands, anything else we have, you can just name it.”

Purple Water Chestnut sneered, “Of course, if you want weapons, that’s fine too–as long as you help kill one of us, you will probably be able to obtain the other’s weapon.”

“The goddesses must be joking. Even if you give me your weapons right now, I wouldn’t want them. I have the same demand as before; whoever has something I’m interested in, I will help.”

He didn’t not want their weapons; Li Yao actually couldn’t take them. Their usual weapons were excellent even as projections, but Li Yao did not wish to accept them.

He had come this far because there was no other way– to preserve his origin pearl and the gains from this underground world, he had to keep fighting. He truly hoped that the two goddesses would calm down and reach a truce, but things did not go as he wished; not everything would shift according to personal will.

As for taking the usual weapons of the two goddesses as spoils of war, that would be an act of suicide; he would probably never have peace again. Weapons might be good, but they would surely be glaring beacons, making it too easy for others who want to target him in the future.

Purple Water Chestnut thought for a moment and then said, “If you help me, I can use gathered divinity to condense an origin pearl, so you and your subordinates can replenish your origins. How about that?”

“Lion Scorpion Goddess, I don’t want any empty promisses. If you have such a bead now, I will help you, but after the battle? Who knows whether you will keep your promises. We’re all smart here; let’s not resort to such empty promise tactics, shall we?”…
