Chapter 669: Mutual Recognition of Identity, The Person No One Wants to Choose
Upon hearing these words, before anyone else could react, one of the eight figures at the round table made a slight movement, lifting his head slightly.
What did he mean by... the former world's strongest?
As he raised his head, the Arbitrator's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, instantly rang out, saying with a laugh:
[That's right, Jiang Yuan, it's exactly what you're thinking. Their identities... might share some similarities with yours.]
[Hehe, since you're all in this Game together now, it can be considered a kind of Fate Connection. I hope you all... can get along well.]
Taken at face value, the words might not seem problematic, but Jiang Yuan's fists unconsciously, slowly clenched.
The same origin... meaning they, too, are survivors whose worlds were destroyed?
And the reason for that destruction... wasn't it originally... the work of the Gods!
And this Arbitrator, this person representing the Game and the Gods, just said it in such a lighthearted, almost joking manner?
Jiang Yuan's fists were clenched tight, but he tilted his head slightly, looking towards "Sin" on the other side, that guy with the dark green mask.He now also knew that was the "Master".
Seeing the Master's deep slumber, his fists slowly loosened again, calming his emotions somewhat.
"The victory condition for Players is to complete more than five daytime games. Does 'more than five' include five?" Xie Antong suddenly asked.
[It does not. You must victoriously complete at least six, or seven!]
Hearing this news, Xie Antong's brows slowly furrowed.
"Can the Rules be described more precisely?"
"The rules of this game should normally involve elements of strategy and mental combat."
"But based on what you said earlier, if the [Troublemaker] truly possesses absolute power capable of defeating the eight partners above, then it seems this game will completely turn into one reliant on brute force."
"It's not very balanced!"
[No! It is perfectly balanced!] the Arbitrator stated decisively.
[Furthermore, the difficulty of your daytime games will actually be very simple!]
[Alright, such are the Rules!]
Feeling he had revealed enough information, the Arbitrator immediately began advancing the game's progress.
[Next, let's introduce the Players at this table to the heroes above. Please take a moment to understand these individuals' abilities.]
[What a gathering of elites!]
[First, we have Mr. Jiang Yuan. His origins are somewhat similar to yours;
perhaps you will have much in common.]
After speaking, a beam of light from the sky enveloped Jiang Yuan, allowing the eight "otherworldly powerhouses" to know who he was referring to.
[And next, our most well-rounded, most promising candidate to become world number one, Perfect Life!]
[Then, our all-seeing, all-knowing, ghost-eyed fortune-teller, Ms. Blank!]
[The brave and fearless, outwardly rough but inwardly meticulous, Mr. Sun!]
[An old Player from the previous era, the multi-talented Mr. Dark Clown!]
[World Rank No. 6, co-manager of "Divine Punishment" with Ms. Blank, Ms. Chiyo Eine!]
[And, Mr. Tu Shan, who was just chosen by a certain God to become their spokesperson!]
[Finally... well, this annoying fellow who only knows how to sleep.]
Each time he finished introducing someone, that beam of light would alternately shine, as if marking each person.
In the sky, the eyes of the eight phantoms also slowly moved, following the alternating light and shadow.
The Arbitrator's introductions were precise, briefly outlining each person's characteristics and general power level.
It's just that when introducing a certain someone at the end, he seemed to carry a bit of emotion...
Sloth: zZZ...
Sleeping very soundly, having not listened to a single word of the rules.
As he gave his introductions, Xie Antong's eyes swept over each person, secretly shocked.
Even at her current ranking, she was actually the weakest one here...
This was a truly high-end match!
That old Player called "Dark Clown" was clearly a member of the Illuminati!
They had encountered an old Player from the Illuminati before;
that person was Club Ace...
Judging from the playing cards, this person was likely the No. 2 figure within the Illuminati.
She wondered if their No. 1 figure could compare to the Dragon Group's Grand Elder, Nie Jiu Tian.
That Tu Shan, though not well-known, was also a former existence ranked in the 50s on the Peak Rankings and was chosen by a God to be their spokesperson...
This was a serious high-end match!
[Now, please, the eight Players, look at your game interface to see your identity for this round of the game.]
As his words fell, Xie Antong looked at her interface, while simultaneously, all her All-Seeing Eyes were firmly fixed on everyone's expressions.
She needed to know each person's psychological state to judge who might be the [Troublemaker].
However, being top-tier Players, their emotional control was nearly perfected. No one showed any reaction.
Xie Antong herself was a [Player], not the [Troublemaker].
[Alright, identities confirmed successfully. Now, let our heroes above choose their partners for this game~]
[The choice of partner is crucial, you know. After all, this might be your only remaining chance.]
After the Arbitrator finished speaking, the air fell into a kind of quiet. The phantoms in the sky were all looking down at the Players below, as if automatically making their selections.
"Hmph!" Sun below snorted coldly, seemingly very displeased with this feeling of being chosen like merchandise.
[Well, everyone has finished choosing.]
A few seconds later, the Arbitrator's voice rang out again, followed by an amused tone:
[Everyone is quite prejudiced, hehe.]
[Some people... just aren't wanted by anyone. Tsk tsk.]
[Alright then, in the spirit of absolute fairness, I'll balance things out, assigning one hero partner to each Player.]
[Done!]
As his words fell, the eight phantoms in the sky instantly vanished. At the same time, a person appeared beside each of the eight individuals around the round table.
Four men and four women.
And beside Sloth, the female hero, after manifesting and seeing who was next to her, was momentarily stunned, then immediately furrowed her brows.
Tsk...
