Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1379 - 975: Who Defeated Him... Who Was It? (Part 2)

Chapter 1379: Chapter 975: Who Defeated Him... Who Was It? (Part 2)

And with that, Reiger prepared to leave.

But at that moment, Uru Hengo couldn’t help but ask a question.

"Was Ryomensukuna really defeated?" Uru Hengo asked, "Who was it that defeated him?"

This question seemed to intrigue Shiliu Long as well, who pricked up his ears and listened intently.

Reiger’s steps suddenly paused, and after a moment of silence, he casually responded.

"His name is Reiger Brillhaut."

Leaving behind those words, Reiger departed.

"Reiger Brillhaut..."

Only Uru Hengo and Shiliu Long remained, quietly repeating the name, engraving it in their minds.

...

Meanwhile, Reiger, who had turned and left, hadn’t gone far, merely exiting the battlefield now turned to ruins and arriving at a spacious street.

"...Little Gold."

After standing on the street silently for a while, Reiger called for the Gold insect familiar.

"Here, here! Your orders please!"

Little Gold flitted around Reiger.

"How can I add rules?"

Reiger, staring ahead, remained unmoved as he consulted the flying Little Gold around him.

"You need 100 game points and to clearly state the content of the rule you wish to add. As long as it’s confirmed that the rule will not hinder the normal operation of Destruction Revisit, it can be directly added!"

Little Gold explained to Reiger without reservation, causing Reiger to narrow his eyes.

"So, negotiating with the game administrator actually means negotiating with you, not with the host of Destruction Revisit, right?"

Reiger realized he had misunderstood something.

The administrator of the game might not be Knot himself.

To ensure the execution of Destruction Revisit, Knot would likely sacrifice total control and delegate the management and operation of the game based on the principle of binding.

By sacrificing absolute control over Destruction Revisit as a cost to enhance its execution—a method that fully aligns with the principle of binding.

And that’s precisely the case.

"Yes!" Little Gold responded energetically, "Please confirm whether to add the rule!"

This posed some trouble.

If the game administrator wasn’t Knot but Little Gold, then the negotiation during rule addition occurred with Little Gold, not Knot. This meant that Reiger couldn’t use negotiations as a pretext to draw out Knot.

However...

"It’s not entirely impossible."

Reiger’s eyes flickered slightly as he continued questioning Little Gold.

"Can a rule be added where ’the Poet can designate a target, making them a Poet and entering a specified Barrier to play the game’?"

At these words, Little Gold paused briefly.

After a moment, it spoke again.

"Currently, the scale of Destruction Revisit cannot forcibly make any target enter a specified Barrier to participate in the game."

In other words, this rule couldn’t be realized.

Reiger wasn’t surprised.

Participation in Destruction Revisit is inherently a matter of personal choice. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Apart from those Poets modified in advance by Knot, there’s no way to force others to participate. Even those modified by Knot are coerced based on the declaration that not participating results in the loss of their techniques.

As for those not modified by Knot, even if they choose not to participate, could you unconditionally strip them of their techniques?

Impossible.

Unless Knot himself took action to intimidate them in person, assigning participation in Destruction Revisit arbitrarily to anyone is extremely difficult to achieve.

"Then, how about adding ’consume a certain amount of game points’ under this premise?"

Reiger proposed a suggestion to Little Gold.

"As the fifth rule states, newly participating Poets have 5 points as Practitioners, and 1 as non-Practitioners. If I want to designate a Practitioner to join, it costs 5 points; for a non-Practitioner, it’s 1 point. If I designate a specific Barrier for them to enter, an additional double of game points must be paid. What about this?"

If arbitrary designation is difficult, then adding conditions to designations should suffice.

With these conditions, no one would randomly designate someone for Destruction Revisit; even if someone wanted to, considering the points cost, it’s bound to be an extreme minority.

The basic goal for participating Poets is to accumulate game points. If you designate others and kill them, the points gained just match the points paid. It becomes pointless, especially when specifying a Barrier requires extra payment.

It’s better to continue hunting other Poets inside a Barrier to accumulate points.

Thus, the number of Poets designating others to join Destruction Revisit would certainly plummet, if not disappear entirely.

If it’s just forcing one or two people to join each time, then given the scale of Destruction Revisit, it should be manageable, right?

Whether sending familiars for capture or employing other means, Knot might intervene personally to maintain the game’s operation, bringing designated targets in.

If the target was Knot himself, even more so—he would inevitably appear.

After all, Destruction Revisit is hosted by him. To ensure its execution, various bindings he set would turn against him if he refused to honor them.

Such is the complexity of the curse technique system—a demonstration of its traceability.

Reiger’s understanding of curse techniques now far exceeds his past, allowing him to navigate these intricate mechanisms with ease.

And that, was an area he could manipulate.

"Possible!"

Little Gold didn’t disappoint Reiger, confirming that adding conditions granted an executable rule within Destruction Revisit’s constraints.

"’Poets can spend corresponding game points to designate one or multiple targets, making them Poets to enter specified Barriers. In principle, designating Practitioners costs 5 points, non-Practitioners 1 point, and specifying a Barrier costs an additional double of game points.’—Confirm the addition of this rule?"

Upon hearing this, Reiger smiled.

"Confirm!"

He answered without hesitation.

"Alright!" Little Gold said cheerfully, "New rule added successfully, now in effect!"

"Let’s do it immediately," Reiger instructed Little Gold decisively, "I’ll spend 5 points to designate a Practitioner as a Poet, and another 5 points to have them enter the Xiantai Barrier for the game."

"Alright, alright!" Little Gold replied, "Please tell me the designated target!"

Reiger raised his head, glanced at the sky circled by a Barrier like a dark curtain.

Then, he slowly voiced that name.

"Knot."

...

Almost simultaneously, within the ten Destruction Wandering Barriers, the Gold insect familiar materialized beside every Poet.

"A rule has been added by a Poet for Destruction Revisit!"

"Destruction Revisit Rule Number 13: Poets can spend corresponding game points to designate one or multiple targets as Poets to enter specified Barriers. In principle, designating Practitioners costs 5 points, non-Practitioners 1 point, and specifying a Barrier costs an additional double of game points!"

"This rule is now in effect!"

This new rule left countless Poets astonished, and countless more perplexed.

High in the sky, within a Curse Spirit, a monk-dressed man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes and looked to his side.

There, the Gold insect familiar emerged as well.

"You have been designated as a Poet for Destruction Revisit. Please proceed to the Xiantai Barrier to participate in the game immediately."

These words made the monk-dressed man’s eyes shine sharply.
