Chapter 715: Chapter 712: "You Look Like a Dog." (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch "Qian Shang Your Highness")

[Main God World]

A room decorated in an ancient style.

The wooden door was pulled open, and a man dressed in a suit walked in slowly.

"Chief, Edward has returned for one day, and he hasn’t done anything drastic," said the man in the suit.

Inside, a middle-aged man in a black robe was sipping tea, his long eyebrows relaxed, his posture like a pine tree.

"Hmm," the middle-aged man responded, "Keep an eye on his actions. Don’t let him wander off or post some nonsensical messages that could influence public opinion."

The man in the suit secretly resented their cold hearts. They had spoken so kindly of Edward before. Now that Edward had failed, they regarded him as a criminal.

"Noel Agnini. His authority... is it real?" the middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Although Noel outright denies it, he can’t explain how he knows the Dawn Code," said the man in the suit. "His abilities can’t possibly be limited to just personal wisdom; he must possess powers unseen by our eyes."

"It turns out there really are humans who possess authority beyond the organizers..." the middle-aged man whispered, "Why weren’t we chosen...?"

...

"What’s the news from the Information Department?"

Inside, a man in a formal suit issued an inquiry.

"Sir, following Edward’s death, there has been widespread panic among humans. They’ve realized that top players have an excessive presence and are prone to die," a woman wearing a soft hat replied.

"Is it possible to get Su Ming’an to post a message after the Ninth World ends, stating that this matter is unrelated to the United Group, to clear our association with Edward?" asked Bra from the Economic and Social Council.

Mibel from the Nevagan Faction raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "The Gauder Faction gives orders diligently. You were truly serious about targeting Number One Player, and now that the situation is unfavorable, you expect forgiveness?"

"If the Number One Player truly cares for mankind, he cannot allow the United Group’s reputation to decline. Otherwise, who would organize large-scale activities like free rescue, military plays, and protecting the public?" Bra replied as a matter of course.

"Well said. Let your department handle the contact then. Number One Player is famously hard to reach... This was a private act by the Gauder Faction. It has nothing to do with us; you failed to control Edward’s actions. People like Atlanda and Rolga are much calmer than Edward and have not caused any trouble to date," a high-ranking officer from the Annalai Faction deflected responsibility.

"We have an alliance with the New World Guild, and Noel is quite close to Su Ming’an; we can try working from that angle..."

The debate over the "follow-up matters concerning Edward" was in total chaos.

In the distance, Qin from the Tian Yu Faction watched the argument unfold with a mocking smile on his face.

...

The storm of public opinion continued to spread, and the angered public acted without any rationality.

As Lin Yin’s video titled "Edward once chased Su Ming’an after the end of the Third World" was shared hundreds of thousands of times, public sentiment about Edward dramatically worsened.

The hurricane had begun.

Edward was part of the United Group; his issue had cast doubt on the entire group’s credibility.

[Who is really instigating the infighting! Is it really just Edward’s own idea?]

[Considering that the Ninth World seems to mirror reality, what does the United Group really stand for? Noel has authority; is he perhaps the real human "Yasa Acto"?]

"I no longer trust the United Group, even though they rescued my family."

"I question Lin Yin. Why did she release that video? With the United Group’s prestige lowered, what does she stand to gain from it..."

"..."

A tumultuous wave suddenly arose, turning almost into a tsunami. It appeared as if invisible gigantic hands were dividing humanity.

Someone sits calmly like fishing in tranquility, coldly observing this scene.

And someone else, sitting at the viewing stand, as if a gambler stationed at the poker table.

...

Main God World - District Twelve

In the room, the blonde youth bowed his head, his hands firmly shackled in iron rings, unable to move.

To prevent Edward from running around, his hands were shackled into the iron rings.

The scene, nearly identical to that in the Second World where he imprisoned Su Ming’an to prevent him from using spatial displacement to escape, could be described as a magnificent drama.

Edward kept muttering the skill name "Time Domain", his fingers barely making the preliminary movements for releasing the skill, but to no avail.

His pupils trembled, tears seeping out from his ocean-like blue eyes, flowing down his handsome face, an image so fragile, it could make countless fans pity him.

"My skills..." he murmured to himself, trembling like a sieve, his state bordering on insanity: "My skills...Where are my attribute points, my mana points, my equipment, my Ring of Time...how come I’m left with only the initial values, no, no..."

"Impossible- Impossible- Impossible!!"

He suddenly raised his head, yelling in the room, "Organizers - Boss Rabbit - you promised me! You gave me a special identity, why did I still die..."

He roared wildly, trying to summon the organizers. Unlike Su Ming’an, who could call Boss Rabbit at will, he could only repeat himself, fearing he had been abandoned...

The audience’s ridicule, the pain of empty suffering, the terror of losing strength as his bones shattered before death...these emotions nearly crushed him, and the horrifying reality floated before his eyes like a nightmare.

"Whoosh—"

Suddenly, a pink glow appeared, and a white giant rabbit tilted its head, its glassy eyes staring at him, a subtle smile on its lips.

"Boss Rabbit!" Edward exclaimed as if seeing a savior: "You haven’t abandoned me, have you? The promises I made to you are still valid, manipulating human public opinion, deceiving the trust of the United Group, pulling down the human progress bar, I can do it all, just give me another chance..."

He heard Boss Rabbit’s untroubled voice, no longer as sleazily cheerful as before.

"...Ah."

Boss Rabbit stared at him:

"The way humans betray their own kind for personal desires, it’s truly a spectacle I never tire of watching."

"Compared to Su Ming’an, your extremity really broadens my horizons. The gap between humans can be even larger than that between humans and dogs...This is indeed an intriguing drama."

Edward’s eyes widened, tears still marking his face, fragile like a glass doll.

Boss Rabbit extended a hand, slowly wiping the tears from his face, the touch gentle beyond measure, like that of a lover’s:

"The game of the world is cruel, Edward, you have failed. We are going to find another interesting person... Ambitious humans willing to be underlings are not limited to you alone, why should I still choose you?"

"...you’re going to look for Noel Agnini?" Edward said.

"Hmm? He is an interesting human, but we still need to test him further," Boss Rabbit said.

"Test me again, please... I did exactly as the mission instructed. I’ve already led Su Ming’an into a deadlock, and he hasn’t even realized that he can hardly break it... It’s just that I was accidentally killed halfway through..."

Edward knelt on the ground, stretching his head forward, licking Boss Rabbit’s white foot. He didn’t care how dark his actions were behind the scenes, as long as his public image was shiny enough.

Boss Rabbit’s laughter was unceasing: "The brainwashing techniques of humans really amaze me, a perfectly good person can turn into this..."

"Ha, hahaha, hahahaha... You look like a dog, Edward..."

Edward felt no shame; this was his only chance. He licked fervently, like a damp rat.

Boss Rabbit’s smile faded, looking coldly at the bowed Edward.

"Who!"

Moments later, Edward suddenly raised his head, seeing a figure that had abruptly appeared in the room.

"Hmm, why is there an extra person here?" Boss Rabbit turned to the suddenly appearing person.

"—You? Shouldn’t you be in the World Replica? How did you get here!" Edward exclaimed, pointing at the person.

"I am here to root out the problem," the person said coldly, holding a burning bomb in his hand.

...

[Peace Dove Rescue Hospital · District Seventy-Eight]

"Her condition is quite good, though she suffered considerable pain before dying, it hasn’t affected her sanity, and she will be able to enter the fray again soon," the doctor advised a middle-aged woman in the hospital hallway.

"Thank you, doctor," the woman said.

"No problem, she died for the greater good, and besides, she was cool, I liked her," the female doctor winked, smiling broadly as she left.

The middle-aged woman’s face, however, was full of worry.

On the bed, the white-haired patient opened her eyes.

"It’s okay, Mom," Luna said, "I don’t regret it."

"Mom doesn’t care whether you regret it or not. Jumping in front of a train was your own choice, and dying from it is your own affair. I’m just worried about you bringing another woman home in the future," the middle-aged woman said sternly: "Even if you brought home a male grizzly bear, I’d prefer that to a woman. That Mary you dated two years ago, reeking of tobacco, looked just like those people from the south. Your father is gone, and I don’t want you to run off with a woman someday."

"Alright, alright..." Luna sighed.

"Just when I thought you were turning over a new leaf, getting together with that lad from Dragon Country, I thought well of him. Then you went and cut your own future short..." Luna’s mother sighed.

"What lad from Dragon Country?" Luna asked warily.

"That one surnamed Lu, also with white hair, Mom thought well of him..." Luna’s mother said.

Luna’s face showed an indescribable expression, as if relating it to cockroaches.

"And that one surnamed Su, actually even better..." Luna’s mother added.

"I would rather choose Cici than them," Luna said.

Luna’s mother was instantly furious upon hearing those words, grabbing a plank nearby and shouting as she struck, "I told you to like Cici! I told you to like Cici! How could you like someone like that? I told you to like an NPC..."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Luna’s mother put down the plank and went to open the door, where a woman in a "Human Self-Rescue Alliance" uniform walked in with a smile. The woman’s striking beauty, with blonde hair and red eyes, resembled the beautiful vampires from the stories.

Since Luna had died in the Ninth World, various organization members frequently visited her. Today, Luna’s fan base had only increased, with many fans adoring her like an elder sister knight.

"Hello, I’m from the ’Human Self-Rescue Alliance’; you can call me Heidielle." The woman approached the bedside. Luna’s mother turned and left the room, excusing herself.

"Hello..." Luna responded as they shook hands.

After some initial pleasantries, the woman got much closer to Luna. She was exactly Luna’s type, striking directly at her heart.

"You are one of the Nine Thrones of the Peak Alliance, along with Su Ming’an, Noel, Lu, and Isabella among others. After the game ends, the Peak Alliance will undoubtedly lead the post-war order, and you nine could even become the rulers of the nine major worlds," The woman remarked with admiration, "It’s enviable; you’ve really caught a good opportunity."

"You flatter me. We established this alliance solely for peace. I have no great desire for the title of world ruler," Luna replied.

"You’re too modest. With a weapon in hand and occupying such a high position, if you still have no desire for power, you really would be a saint," the blonde woman joked, laughing. "Unfortunately, having your powers wiped in the Ninth World, you are likely to be expelled from the Peak Alliance..."

"..."

"The ’Human Self-Rescue Alliance’ is on par with the ’United Group’ as a human collaborative organization," the blonde woman explained. "We are moved by your actions and are willing to help you rise again. You barely secured a position in the post-war world, only to lose it all due to one death. I don’t believe you have no regrets about that."

Luna, knowing the current difficulty of instances and how easily the weakest monster could kill her if she returned, also had her mother and sister to protect...

Of course, she wouldn’t do anything to betray her teammates. She would carefully scrutinize the invitation from the Self-Rescue Alliance.

The blonde woman gave a gentle smile, her beauty striking directly at the soul.

"If you sign this contract, we’ll assign four Adventurer Players from the alliance as your teammates to support your upcoming instance journey and provide you with equipment forged by Casual Players during instances. Additionally, we command a strong influence over public opinion and can turn you into a new star player. Here are the details..."

...

[Kaius Tower - One and a Half Dimensions]

"Swoosh!"

A teleportation flash flickered, and Su Ming’an felt light all over.

As he opened his eyes, the Lamb Barrier around him lit up momentarily; this was Ta Wei’s territory, and he was highly cautious.

However, as soon as he landed, he heard several "click" sounds. He felt the sensation of being bound at his wrists and ankles, as solid chains, seemingly pre-prepared, clamped onto his limbs and dragged him across the ground.

All was dark before him, the surroundings enveloped in a black mist akin to the universe. He lay close to the ground, remained still, and knew of several methods to escape this predicament, but this time he had come just to search for clues.

"Your reputation precedes you, Yasa Acto. Welcome to our world; we finally caught you," a gentle voice reached his ears.

"As you can see, our world isn’t pleasant—no blue skies, no green grass, just endless black mist... But no matter, it won’t be long before we have your world," the voice continued.

A figure crouched in front of him, revealing a pair of dark eyes, the tone ominously familiar.

The chains stretched forward, held in the palm of that person.
