Chapter 1188 The Third Round of Power War (2)
Chapter 1188 The Third Round of Power War (2)
Many players who had just returned from running away from the corpses were directly caught in the light, and their eyes were plunged into a sea of white.
Then, a rather emotionless narration came into everyone's mind again:
"The following story comes from an unofficial history. You and I both know it's not the historical truth, but it doesn't matter. Often, so-called history is just a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. Wayne Sternwell may truly be the chosen god, but that doesn't mean he will always have smooth sailing. Wayne Sternwell's previous life was an ancient king who, at his peak, almost ruled half of the Apocalypse Continent. However, his end was not good. He died at the hands of his friends' betrayal and the murder of a god."
"The specific reason is a secret, and I won't reveal it here. Similarly, if Wayne Sternville dies according to the unofficial history, it will resonate with him, or at least cause him psychological trauma. It would be great if we could force Wayne Sternville to reveal his true colors in advance."
"The God of Death is one of the most sinister, cunning, and vicious gods in recorded history. But for some reason, he happens to be the vessel for the Guarani gods' descent in the story of this book. Yes, it just happens!"
"Wayne Sternwell's three closest friends and relatives in his previous life: Archibald, 'The Flame of Justice,' was once a saint of the Earth Goddess sect and was extremely powerful; Louisa was a priestess who first believed in the Artisans and Alchemists sect and later believed in the Earth Goddess; and Jasmine Kronin, although she had a secret crush on Wayne Sternwell and would not take action against him, became a crucial force in the assassination of the ambitious and evil king in this unofficial history."
The players all turned their gazes towards Jasmine, gazing at her intently. Oh, I didn't expect that...
This... is too embarrassing. Jasmine clenched her big toes tightly, resisting the urge to cover her face. Her expression remained unchanged, only her earlobes flushed slightly.
The narrator paused and continued:
"In this story, Wayne Stewell becomes the loser, while Death, Poseidon, and the other three heroes are all winners. As a later addition, the Giant King Lindsay Horn was originally the king of the Kingdom of Byron, but his current fate is unknown."
"As the loser, can the ambitious evil King Wayne Stewell survive? Failure will trigger resonances in the book, greatly suppressing the opponent's divinity. This time, besides the God of Death and the three heroes, the helpers also include several myths and legends, which will also attract more unpredictable enemies. There is nothing we can do about it. This is the war for power!"
"It's another blend of two or three stories..."
This is the heaviness of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom... Zhou Ning exhaled solemnly, silently watching the scene around him change again.
The city of Abbot is built of huge stones and has a city gate about thirty meters high.
The scene before him seemed to be a triumphal ceremony. Zhou Ning found himself sitting in a sedan chair carried by the kings of six conquered countries, surrounded by a dense crowd of people.
Zhou Ning couldn't help but twitch his lips, a strong sense of vigilance rising in his heart. His current condition was not optimal, and his god form had entered a cooldown period. He could only be ready to use the Thirteen Bullets to summon his other self at any time.
It is obvious that he replaced the Pirate King Zhou Ning in this story. He saw the ending in the simulator, and he was assassinated on his way back in triumph.
This should be the scene where he is about to be killed.
The abilities of the book world and the dream world are actually somewhat similar. He had visited Abbot City in a dream before, and it was clearly a different architectural style from the one he saw before him. This is also the most obvious difference between the book world and the dream world. It doesn't pursue reality, but only focuses on "description" and "setting." It is relatively rigid, and the plot of the book relies entirely on narration.
In the world of the previous book, Zhou Ning had already tested it. He had no way to actively promote or change the plot, and could only act based on the narration's prompts.
This is actually one aspect of the world in books that is more difficult to deal with than the dream world.
Zhou Ning straightened his back and observed his surroundings calmly. The three heroes who assassinated him in the story were standing not far away.
Here, Archibald was looking at him expressionlessly, his right hand supporting the sword at his waist.
Beside him, Louisa lowered her head, closed her eyes, and prayed.
Jasmine was wearing a white long dress with a waistline and a hood on her head, so her expression could not be seen clearly.
In unofficial history, these three people were the main force in assassinating the Pirate King.
Zhou Ning didn't raise his head deliberately, but he could sense a pair of sinister, cold eyes staring at him from above. Clearly, they were the eyes of the god of death.
If the story hadn't changed, the Grim Reaper would have participated in his assassination.
Moreover, behind him, Zhou Ning also heard waves of heavy footsteps, accompanied by waves of vibrations, which were obviously coming from giant human creatures.
But the question is, where did this giant humanoid creature come from? How will the plot unfold next?
Similarly, as the mediocre leftovers, the players at this time mostly replaced the onlookers, who chattered and discussed non-stop while eating melons.
At this moment, the emotionless narration once again sounded in everyone's mind:
"This was the grandest triumphal ceremony in human history. Wayne Stewell returned in triumph, riding in a sedan chair carried by the kings of the six conquered nations. This was the pinnacle of his life, and also the end of his life."
"In addition to the apparent enemies, an intrusive mythology will make Wayne Stewell's situation even worse."
"Under the protection of the Earth Goddess, the Giant King Lindsay Horn led the Giant Tribe to migrate northwest, passing through what is now the Falric Jungle and over Mount Noe. The Earth Goddess protected them. During the day, the trees bore fruit, and at night, the rivers turned into milk. For 30 years, they neither planted nor harvested, yet they were provided with delicious food every day. Their clothes remained intact, their shoes remained undamaged, their legs remained unswollen, and they walked as fast as the wind. After years of travel, they finally arrived at the Kingdom of Falric."
"Giants are a race that's better at farming than humans. The Giant Kingdom needs its own land, and Lindsay Horne's first goal is to kill Wayne Stewell. The Earth Goddess will protect him. This would be a bit too coincidental and deliberate in an ordinary story, but as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a coincidence, and in the book world it seems perfectly normal."
"So, a new story begins. Can the evil King Wayne Stewell survive the siege? Will this be a horror story?"
"In this power war, the great God of Knowledge and Wisdom is betting even more!"
At this moment, an extremely huge war hammer was thrown from behind Zhou Ning with a whistling sound, even causing a sonic boom.
This is the Hammer of the Giant King, a sacred artifact from the Earth Goddess, the Giant King Lindsay Horn!
This weapon has the property of definitely crushing the opponent, and cannot be defended head-on.
The six kings carrying the sedan simultaneously screamed, their bodies disintegrating piece by piece. The next second, Zhou Ning's hair visibly grew longer, and his windbreaker turned golden and flew back. His figure shot into the sky, and then a dark blue blade materialized in his hand and fell to the ground.
