Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 369: Stabbing, Choose the Weak Point_1
"So, this is the thing," Wang Linchi said, pulling out a luminous crystal from the center of the island. This was what the tavern owner had said attracted Erroneous Sin.
"This thing... It seems to have a certain resemblance to the Dean’s Stone Heart," Shadow of Gluttony hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Do you recognize it?" Wang Linchi had researched it. This thing seems more like an aggregation of errors, he thought.
I don’t recognize it; it just seems similar, Shadow of Gluttony thought, wishing he could slap himself. Why did I say that? Just needlessly stirring up trouble. If I hadn’t spoken, this wouldn’t be an issue.
Wang Linchi, however, paid no mind to Shadow of Gluttony’s thoughts and casually crushed the item.
The thing was very fragile. Upon being crushed, it immediately self-destructed, leaving no trace behind.
At the same time, with his position as the epicenter, the entire island began to crumble.
"Damn it, how come I got a notification that the island was breached? Didn’t they say earlier we successfully defended it?"
"Who knows? Damn, forced to change servers, and it’s a random one too. I’m not going to fall into another trap, am I?"
"The Game System must have a bug! It has merged with reality, so how can it still be so messed up?!"
"..."
The players’ voices rose in a clamor. When it came to the Game System’s notifications, you’d receive them even if you were dead asleep.
As for being unconscious or delirious, that was another matter entirely. After all, there had never been any equality between the Game System and the players.
Watching this unfold, Wang Linchi remained calm, although even he hadn’t known that destroying this thing would cause the island to crumble as well.
Nevertheless, it confirmed one thing: the previous claims that the siege weapons had unlimited ammunition were false; they actually drew their energy from this aggregate.
"Boss, this place is collapsing! Shouldn’t we leave quickly?" Shadow of Gluttony could clearly see that Wang Linchi had caused the turmoil on the island.
"No rush. Let’s play with the Game System a bit," Wang Linchi said, taking out a Philosopher’s Stone.
Teleporting players away undoubtedly required interfacing with the Game System’s power; this was standard procedure.
However, with Wang Linchi present, he wasn’t about to let Them off easily. He wanted revenge for being hunted.
"But Boss, the Game System’s power will descend! We’ll be crushed!" Shadow of Gluttony was quite apprehensive.
"No, you’re an Erroneous Sin. The Game System hasn’t yet perfected a system to kill your kind. At most, you’ll just suffer a bit more," Wang Linchi said with a smile.
"I’m thinking about you, Boss, because..."
"Relax. You’re the only one who’ll be unlucky; the Game System can’t do anything to me," Wang Linchi said cheerfully.
He had indeed been hounded by the Game System, but that didn’t mean he had no way to retaliate. At the very least, his Fanciful and Fickle technique, enhanced by the Golden Core Illusion and a Philosopher’s Stone, was far beyond what the Game System could handle.
However much power the Game System sent, It would lose that exact amount after Wang Linchi detonated it. If Its main body were to descend, Wang Linchi was confident he could blast It half to death and then devour It.
What he was wary of was the Game System’s control over the entire world, not Its pursuit of him.
Given Its sheer scale, fighting a war of attrition against It would be foolish. Why clash head-on, knowing Its advantages? He wasn’t stupid enough to get himself broken that way.
A gentleman does not stand beneath a collapsing wall. Wang Linchi was no gentleman, but he understood the principle.
Hearing Wang Linchi’s words, Shadow of Gluttony scrambled away.
He felt Wang Linchi’s words were very reasonable, but they offered him no comfort whatsoever.
Wang Linchi didn’t stop him from fleeing. Shadow of Gluttony cherished his life dearly. So, if Wang Linchi won, he would obediently come back rather than truly escaping.
After so many harsh lessons, Shadow of Gluttony knew Wang Linchi well. If he fled and wasn’t caught, fine. But if he were caught, he would undoubtedly die a miserable death.
This was all contingent on him neutralizing the Three Corpse Brain God Pill in his mind.
It’s here! Wang Linchi instantly sensed the Game System’s arrival.
The fluctuation was momentary. The rules here were too densely interwoven; even if the Game System projected Its power, It wouldn’t dare make too many moves. Otherwise, if It got entangled in the erroneous rules, which were like a messy ball of yarn, It Itself wouldn’t fare well.
The Philosopher’s Stone instantly shattered into dust, and a Golden Core Illusion was simultaneously drained of all its spiritual power.
An invisible, intangible Impact, formed by Fanciful and Fickle, precisely struck the point of fluctuation. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
In that instant, the entire large-scale dungeon quaked violently. Numerous cracks appeared on its barrier.
Wang Linchi’s move was akin to exploiting the momentary weak point created as the Game System teleported, effectively delivering a devastating blow to the entire dungeon.
This affected not only the dungeon but also the Game System Itself.
Although the Game System had been enslaving players, no matter how one looked at it, the players were Its very foundation.
Because of this oversight, a chaotic interaction was triggered among all the erroneous rules.
Countless Erroneous Sins emerged from the seabed, making these cracks even more terrifying. Some sections of the barrier even began to shatter.
The Game System’s invisible power descended instantly, forcibly stabilizing the crumbling dungeon to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
Wang Linchi was also targeted simultaneously, presumably for a follow-up attack. He was especially detestable for causing destruction repeatedly.
And each disruption was more significant than the last.
Last time, he had merely packed away a dungeon’s Erroneous Sins and dismantled its barrier; the framework, at least, was still intact and could be repaired and restarted.
This time, he had gone too far. If It hadn’t acted swiftly, the dungeon might have completely disintegrated, and even It would have been injured.
However, the lock-on only lasted three seconds before vanishing. It was forced to withdraw Its power. If It delved any deeper, the entanglement of Erroneous Sins within the dungeon would ensnare It, leading to even greater losses.
They’ve evacuated all the players? Wang Linchi had an ominous premonition.
Previously, only the players from the island he wrecked were evacuated. Now, everyone was being moved. It seems They’re planning to trap a turtle in a jar. At the very least, They can trap me.
It looks like It’s busy dealing with something and can’t disengage, Wang Linchi mused. He didn’t believe the other party was incapable of further action; it was more likely that It couldn’t spare the effort and thus resorted to this method. Once It finishes Its more important tasks, It can then take Its time dealing with me.
Heh, I need to figure out what the Game System is up to quickly. Then I can go and wreck Its plans, he thought.
On the other hand, after the Game System’s power had evacuated the players, Shadow of Gluttony very obediently returned.
"Boss, I can’t get out of the dungeon!" Shadow of Gluttony shrieked, terrified.
"Don’t worry, I can get out," Wang Linchi said. Actually, I can’t get out either, he thought, merely bluffing Shadow of Gluttony. The Game System saw this dungeon was about to collapse and directly sealed it with brute force. But that’s fine. If It can use brute force to imprison, I can use brute force to break free. Once I devour all the Erroneous Sins in this dungeon, my Golden Core will reach the Third Transformation at minimum.
"But I can’t get out, Boss! Without me to guide you, how will you hunt in the next large-scale dungeon? And how will you go to the hospital to cause trouble for our Dean?" Shadow of Gluttony said fawningly.
He didn’t have Wang Linchi’s abilities.
His only hope now was for Wang Linchi to take him back to the hospital. Otherwise, wandering outside, whether facing Wang Linchi or the Game System, meant confronting terrifying powers he couldn’t possibly resist.
"Oh? I didn’t realize you were so loyal to your Dean, preparing such a grand ’gift’ for him," Wang Linchi said, clearly understanding Shadow of Gluttony’s intentions.
"Don’t worry. Once I’m done eating, I’ll smash this dungeon to pieces. Then we’ll be out."
"Not only will we get out, but we’ll also make the Game System suffer a hefty loss," Wang Linchi added. He was no benevolent soul. He wasn’t some protagonist from an allied faction who’d let himself be exploited, so why would he be magnanimous?
Shadow of Gluttony felt a deeper chill. Considering how much havoc Wang Linchi was wreaking, Will the Dean hand me over to the Game System later as a down payment for a peace treaty? he wondered.
The main issue was that they had offended It so grievously there was no room for reconciliation. The Game System wouldn’t issue warnings or condemnations; It would genuinely strike to kill.
"What, still not satisfied? Surely you don’t expect me to confront the Game System head-on for you? You’re not that valuable," Wang Linchi taunted.
