Chapter 515: Chapter 191: Divinity and Abnormality

Black Goat handed over the room cards he possessed to avoid confusion among the residents on the first floor.

Then, he voluntarily entered Room 313 as instructed by Li Changhe.

With the original owner, Tin Man, dead, the room was now entirely under Li Changhe’s control.

Until Li Changhe and the others needed him, he could only act as a prisoner in Room 313.

After all, no one could trust him to have the freedom to move around. He was the guy who had previously wanted to kill players with Mad Kangaroo. It would be terrible if he accidentally triggered some abnormality again.

Even Wolf Smoke, who was forced out just like him, wouldn’t give him a shred of trust.

Now, being locked in the room was better for everyone involved.

"From this perspective, the rooms here serve both as safety houses and as cages," Li Changhe thought before looking at Wolf Smoke.

Unlike Black Goat, Wolf Smoke entered the cruise ship with Li Changhe and the others as players and didn’t show any hostility towards them.

Wolf Smoke looked very ordinary and seemed to be a programmer based on his hairline. This surely wasn’t his real face; he must have entered this place with a specific purpose.

Some bruises on his face remained from the accidental fight with the Knight brother.

After being forced out by Li Changhe, he wanted to steal a room card to secure an unbeatable position for himself.

Yet, it was unknown whether it was his bad luck or the Knight brother’s that he chose the nearest room card and got beaten up by the Knight brother.

"So, what is your purpose for entering this place?" The voice from the Bird Beak Mask asked, "Don’t tell me it’s an excuse like being delayed and unable to escape the north shore. It wouldn’t be difficult for players at your level to avoid abnormalities and escape the north shore on their own."

Indeed, except for Earth Knight, who was dragged into the cruise ship upon the second whistle, the other players had enough time to leave the north shore.

If Li Changhe had given up on protecting Liu Tao and Old Zhao and acted alone, he wouldn’t have encountered two abnormalities in a row.

What was infuriating was that, despite his protection, Liu Tao and the others still met their demise.

The girls, on the other hand, joined the cruise ship to protect the bystanders involved this time.

The other players couldn’t have been stuck on the north shore for such a long time without some purpose.

"Yes, I did intentionally join this cycle’s task." Wolf Smoke responded after a moment of contemplation, realizing that these people were all [Friends] and might even be members of the same organization.

There was no need to hide any information due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

"My player alliance is the [Awei Protection Association]. If you often check the leaderboard, you should be familiar with this alliance," he said, revealing his guild badge.

"It’s the alliance that ranks in the top 80 on the leaderboard - Awei Protection Association." Earth Knight contacted Li Changhe in [Friends], saying, "It’s a large organization, much stronger than our Mountain and Sea Alliance."

"I know. I heard it’s full of otakus, with most of them being players from Hua Country..." Li Changhe was well aware of this, as [Players] often chatted on the [forum] when they had nothing else to do.

The Awei Protection Association was very active in the forum.

They frequently posted things like, "Who has foil? I want to marry my 2D waifu!"

"I say XXX is my waifu. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

"I can’t believe the Three Nine Party lost! I can’t accept..."

"Got hit by a mud truck from the enemy today, unfortunately... It didn’t send me to another world."

"I’ve mastered the divine technique of ZA WARUDO, but I couldn’t find a steamroller."

And so on.

Although they appeared to be an otaku group, their strength was not to be underestimated since they made a name for themselves on the leaderboard.

Even as otakus, they were those with astonishing strength, often jokingly referred to as the Otaku Corps.

"So, what did your Otaku Corps discover?" Yun Ting teased, "Did you find your 2D waifus on this ship?"

"Hold on, not all of us are otakus!" Wolf Smoke replied with a bitter smile, "The world has many misunderstandings about our Awei Protection Association. We just want to protect the Aweis that have been destroyed."

"Got it, otaku. Tell us some useful information," Li Changhe waved his hand.

Wolf Smoke pondered for a moment as if organizing his words, "One of our members learned of the Dream Cruise’s existence through a plot mission."

"It was a large, abandoned port. My allies’ mission was to protect several plot characters as they explored the port and gathered information. The difficult part was that the area was filled with many dangerous abnormalities. The people of that world categorized the abnormalities into five levels of danger: ZAYIN, TETH, HE, WAW, and the most dangerous, ALEPH."

"Hebrew letters?" Li Changhe asked.

"That’s right. They used Hebrew letters to classify the danger levels of the abnormalities. Among them, the most dangerous one is..."

"ALEPH, right?" Although Li Changhe didn’t know much about Hebrew letters, he knew that ALEPH was the first letter in Hebrew.

It was also the most sacred letter; people were hesitant to say it often because it represented the divine.

"Abnormal danger levels divided in the name of God. It means those abnormalities at this level... have powers similar to gods? Five levels, five floors...." When Li Changhe said this, everyone subconsciously looked at the fifth floor.

Large port, Dream Cruise, five levels of danger, the five floors of rooms within the Dream Cruise...

"Are you saying that all the abnormalities on the fifth floor are ALEPH-level?" Earth Knight chuckled, "Which means, this place is holding a group of gods?"

"That’s not exactly the case," Wolf Smoke thought for a moment before replying, "At most, they are divine creatures or God-made Objects."

"There’s not much difference. They’re not beings that we can deal with at our level," Earth Knight clicked his tongue. Whether it’s a nuclear bomb or C4 that kills them, who would care about the difference?

Li Changhe pondered. Big Lead had evolved to have damage resistance to divine creatures.

But even so, he might not be a match for these beings.

Yun Ting was a Holder, but she could not match these level of abnormalities either.

If Wolf Smoke’s information was true and there were divine creatures here, then Great Wall’s plan couldn’t be carried out.

Great Wall’s original plan was to cunningly snatch the room cards from the abnormalities and then enter the cruise ship along with the sound of the whistle.

However, there’s a level limit - players above LV10 can’t enter.

A large group of LV10 or lower [Players], no matter how powerful, couldn’t face such a quantity of divine creatures. Li Changhe glanced at the rooms on the fifth floor.

There were ten rooms, meaning in the worst-case scenario, there would be ten divine creatures.

"And you came here for these divine creatures?"

"I can’t give the specific reason, but indeed, our target is the divine creatures here," Wolf Smoke nodded, "Who wouldn’t want to touch the power of the gods?"
