Shu's hands began to tremble again. He wanted to ask Sin Mal if this was also part of her plan, but when he looked at her, the disbelief on her face and the confusion in her heart were not fake.
So Shu fell silent. He knew that this was the first loss he had suffered because he was not familiar with the rules.
When he crushed the hand grip strengthener, everyone looked shocked. It was clear that except for him and Bianka, everyone knew what kind of card Sin Mal had played, which was why they were so surprised by his "abnormal" behavior.
But no one was willing to remind him. They didn't even say, "what kind of card will Sin Mal give Shu?"
Shu even suspected that they had known all along that he was not familiar with the rules and were now deliberately watching him make a fool of himself, but they just didn't expect him to be able to crush the hand grip strengthener.
He turned his head to the side again, was silent for a long time, and then turned back.
No, Kiana's expression was too real. At least she really believed that he knew the rules.
...did none of these guys really remember that he was from another world?!
He took a deep breath, not knowing if it was for the desperate situation he was about to face or for these guys who had almost treated him as a local...
...Forget it.
Shu silently drew a normal "Attack" and a normal "Dodge," exceeding the minimum requirement to meet the "best" condition, and successfully completed her turn amidst Sin Mal's heart-attack-like expression.
As for why Sin Mal, who thought he knew the rules, still quietly sneaked up to him and unhesitatingly used this skill to give him a card, Shu didn't want to think about it anymore.
Was it useful? Did this game have any reasonable logic, any humanity?
No! Not at all!
Didn't Natasha's skill card called "Wall of Heart" prohibit everyone from getting close to each other? Didn't Sin Mal still quietly sneak up to him?
Don't tell me you're going to say that "a bully bullies people because their own psychology has been severely traumatized, so they have to attack others"?
Then do I have to have a "cheap forgiveness after many years"?!
What kind of Far East-style cheap forgiveness is this! Wouldn't a straightforward "just for my sake, use your fire punch on him" be better?
Nearly half an hour had passed since the game started. Shu didn't want to think about how many more long and difficult sentence rules like 'you don't need to be attacked, as long as the two of them can make cute jokes in real life, they can ask for a card at any time, and the other person will have to give up a card as long as they can't pretend to be unfamiliar' this abstract game had.
He wouldn't be surprised if a righteous and kind hero or something jumped out later and used strange methods like "moral kidnapping," "public opinion bombing," and "hostage-taking" to attack him, this "heinous demon king."
Three hours later...
The "Creation Mountain" built from a large number of Homu building blocks was now riddled with holes. Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning had once raged on it. Immortals, ghosts, demons, and Buddhas had once shown their ugliness and holiness on it.
This game... this war had involved more than 20 different forces, and a devastating disaster had been detonated here.
The high and mighty "God" wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and looked at the devastated world with a solemn expression.
This war was one of the most intense in history. The process, which should have lasted about six hours, was actually nearing its end in just three hours.
Theresa and Cecilia's "unbreakable alliance" was tragically shattered by Shigure Kira's "Three Peaches Kill Two Warriors" scheme; the "Red Movement" launched by Fu Hua, Li Sushang, and Shu was also forced to disband due to the exposure of Shu's "Demon King" identity;
Sirin's "Great Homu Kingdom" had fallen. The culprits were Seele and Bronya's "Homu Independence Movement." The "East-West War" that broke out near Ana's territory completely destroyed the "Square Trade" that Kallen and Schrödinger relied on for survival;
Sin Mal had really received the "cheap forgiveness after growing up." The bully and the demon dragon Alvitr had both received a "peaceful exit"; Fréllei, Salome, and Nicholas had formed a "three-legged stool," which was eventually taken down by the evil Raiden Mei with a "blitzkrieg."
"The Peach Blossom Spring" could not protect Natasha, who wanted to "stay out of the world." Bianka, who had become the "Pirate King," had torn apart that weak shield with just one "fishing," and the two who were forced to "fight like snipe and clam" finally allowed Rita to wait for the "fisherman to profit."
However, the people who were stimulated by the pain did not notice that the world had unknowingly entered the "Great Information Age." Rosalia and Lilia, who had promoted the development of "technology" for a hundred years, had established the most heavyweight "Future City," and had actually swept the battlefield with their "Anti-Entropy Band"!
Now—the gods had returned to their positions, and there were only two people left in the final circle!
The hero who carried the hopes of all the defeated to "end the chaotic world"—Kiana Kaslana!
The two who had become one, completely integrating everything of the two, and had become the only powerful force on the field with no flaws, Rosalia and Lilia—the Delta Vodka Girls combination!
And the "Demon King" who had hardly moved at all, and whose turns were all "skip" except for restoring his own status—Shu!
???
Who am I? Where am I? What kind of hell is this?
I want to go home, I want to play Werewolf. I don't care about those meaningless proper nouns anymore, I don't care about the threshold that is only there to trip people up. That's a board game, that's a board game suitable for humans to play.
In front of this fragmented "Creation Mountain," Shu made a promise to himself, himself, and himself. If he played Creation Mountain again, he would be a dog!
"Shu, what are you spacing out for!" On the other side, Kiana, who carried everyone's hope of "ending the chaotic world," was staring at the few cards in her hand, scratching her head and making her face a little red.
"Hurry up and help me see which card to play!" the hero asked the demon king.
Shu: ...
He stared at Kiana for three seconds. After finding that she was even more serious than him, he silently leaned his head over.
As expected, after nearly four hours of torture, Shu still couldn't understand what these cards were. He recognized every word on them, but he just didn't recognize them.
Yes, these cards even used what appeared to be more than ten different languages. There seemed to be a strict and abstract chain of checks and balances between these different languages, similar to the points of poker cards.
...So this Kiana who managed to stay in this game until the end is actually a top student?
