Chapter 859

“It’s not me.”

Shen shook his head slowly.

Right after blurting out those words, Chen Xiaolian too, immediately realized it. Just now, Shen’d had to fight the three angels all on his own, using up all his strength for the fight. How could he still have the strength to seal this instance dungeon?

Moreover, there was no need for him to do this.

If so…

“Looks like the Development Team really do not like the idea of us leaving.” There was a faint smile on Du Wei’s face as he turned towards Chen Xiaolian. “Where’s the BOSS of this instance dungeon?”

“Its settings were modified long ago and was hidden away.” Chen Xiaolian shrugged.

“It’s not up to them.” Cheng Cheng’s face was as cold as ice. With a harrumph, a Dimensional Rip Blade condensed itself in her hand. “Can a mere instance dungeon lock us up?”

The space around her began distorting, as though there was an invisible fire burning intensely there. The aura swiftly shot up to the peak.

Without showing a hint of hesitation, she swung forward with all her strength.

The blade of the Dimensional Rip Blade cut through space to create a rift, several metres in length.

She had slashed open a passageway leading to the outside world.freewe(b)novel.c(o)m

“Let’s go.” Cheng Cheng flicked her red hair and took the lead in stepping towards the rift.

Although the rift was automatically shrinking, its shrink rate was not fast, allowing all of them sufficient time to leave the instance dungeon.

“Stop.”

A voice suddenly spoke up.

At the same time, a humanoid figure also appeared between Cheng Cheng and the rift.

The figure had a pair of wings growing out from their back, with a face and body shape that were the peak of perfection.

Another angel.

However, this angel was different compared to the previous three. It did not appear to possess a genuine body. Rather, it appeared translucent and its body emitted a faint lustre.

In addition, the body was also not emitting even a single trace of energy.

Clearly, this was nothing more than a hologram.

The Development Team… they had finally decided to appear in person.

“You guys finally showed up.” Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows as he regarded the hologram standing before him. “And here I thought that you guys will forever be using the Players as cannon fodders.”

“My appearance here is for the sake of giving you one last chance.” The Dev showed no change in expression and there was no way to tell if they were male or female. “It doesn’t matter what your plans may be, you need to stop immediately. If you keep going, you will not be able to handle the consequences.”

“One last chance?” Chen Xiaolian snickered. “Why would you give us one last chance? Why not just eradicate us directly?”

The Dev remained silent.

“Enough. I do not have time to exchange nonsense with you.” Chen Xiaolian shook his head. “If you want to stop us from leaving, you’ll have to bring over the real stuff. You can either give more Players Exclusive Accounts or log in yourselves, but using a projection to just talk won’t do it.”

In the past, Chen Xiaolian had always been feeling worried. If the Development Team found out about his existence and went all in against him, what would happen?

But now, he was confident.

The angel bodies from the Exclusive Accounts were indeed formidable. However, defeating them was not an impossible feat. At present, everyone here, him included, have obtained the code from the wings. Even in a one-on-one scenario, they would not lose to Players logging in as angels.

If the Development Team themselves were to log in, it was possible for the strength of the angel bodies to rise to another level. Even so, since the very beginning all the way until now, they had chosen not to do so.

Regardless if it was due to their inability to do so or their unwillingness to do so, the reason did not matter. All that mattered was the result.

The current situation was as clear as day… the Development Team was already putting all their focus on him. There was no possibility of them holding back on any other methods of dealing with him.

If it weren’t for that, they would not have used a hologram to talk to them just as they were about to leave this instance dungeon.

That said, Chen Xiaolian had no intentions of ignoring them and just leaving the instance dungeon.

This was a rare opportunity to communicate with the Development Team. He could not just let it go so easily.

“Fine. Tell me your name. How should I address you?” Chen Xiaolian looked at the hologram.

“The forbidden name of God is not something that you should pry into, nor do you need to know.” The hologram’s voice was eerily cold. “All you need to know is that you must stop your actions that go against God.”

“God?”

Chen Xiaolian turned his head, exchanging glances with Du Wei. At the same time, he also burst into a laughter.

“Who’re you trying to fool with that God talk?!”

After laughing for some time, Chen Xiaolian turned back to sneer at the hologram. “Indeed, for most of the people in this world, be it the Players or Awakened ones, they all think that you guys are practically Godlike existences with complete control over this world.

“But the truth is, you guys don’t have it!

“You guys have been constantly playing the role of God, giving everyone this false belief.

“But if you guys really are Gods, back then, why didn’t you directly kill off Osgiliath? Why not directly eradicate us?

“Come! Come wipe us out! Don’t you guys always use eradication as punishment for the Players and Awakened ones who failed to clear the instance dungeons?

“No! You guys are incapable of doing it!

“You guys cannot monitor every corner of this world! You cannot monitor every single instance dungeon! You cannot monitor every Player and every Awakened!

“And we who possess a sufficiently strong power, you guys are no longer capable of restricting us using conventional methods!

“You guys aren’t Gods!”

“How did you know about Osgiliath?” The hologram frowned somewhat. “We have already set up the laws. Everything that happens in the Upper Plane can never be made known to you fellows.”

“Naturally, I have my ways.” Chen Xiaolian chuckled. “See? This further proves that you guys are neither omniscient nor omnipotent.”

“We created this world…”

“You created nothing!”

Chen Xiaolian did not wait for the hologram to finish speaking. He swiftly interrupted them. “Surely, you guys… after lying and lying and lying, did you guys end up believing your own lies?

“Just who is it that created this world? Deep down, have you guys become retards?

“Unfortunately, I just so happen to know of some secrets.”

“Just what is it that you know?” At long last, a flicker of expression could be seen on the hologram’s face.

“I know… the essence of this world!” Chen Xiaolian looked at the Dev, a chilling light suddenly flashing out from his eyes. “This, this is just a cage!” 𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Originally, Chen Xiaolian had made up his mind to absolutely never expose the truth that he had gleaned from the pair of wings outside Zero City. All because he was scared that the Development Team would put all their focus on him.

At present, however, the Development Team had already set their sights on him. In a sense, he was able to let out a sigh of relief.

Having come to this, both sides can just reveal all their cards.

“How did you find that out?” The hologram stared right at Chen Xiaolian. “What are you planning?!”

Even though the Dev’s tone remained dry and monotonous, Chen Xiaolian could still hear a trace of fear within it.

“How did I find out? You don’t need to care.” Chen Xiaolian smiled. “As for what I intend to do… naturally, I’ll be doing the one thing you guys are fearful of, returning freedom to ‘that person’. I know, we can never jump out of this world to damage you. However, I think… he would definitely be able to.”

“You do not understand what that means! It would mean the destruction of two worlds!” The hologram raised its voice. “What do you think he is? An ally of justice?”

“At the very least, I can be certain that he wants you guys dead even more. Since you guys want us dead as well, in the worse-case scenario, I can only choose this option. Even if it ends with mutual destruction, it’s not like our side loses anything, no?” Chen Xiaolian shrugged.

The hologram remained silent.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” Chen Xiaolian smiled at the hologram. “If not, let’s meet again next time. Sister Cheng Cheng, I’ll have to trouble you once again.”

The rift that Cheng Cheng cut open earlier had, with the passage of time, gradually shrunk down. At present, it was only some tens of centimetres wide. There was no way for even a single person to pass through the rift.

Cheng Cheng did not reply. She simply raised the Dimensional Rip Blade once more.

“Wait…”

Just as Cheng Cheng was about to slash down, the hologram abruptly raised its head and spoke up. “I think, you guys must not know the entire truth.”

“It’s not complete, but enough.” Chen Xiaolian threw the hologram a side look.

“You guys betrayed your master and banished him to our world. It’s nothing more than a boring story of betrayal.”

“No.”

The hologram shook its head. “The complete truth is not that simple. We are not traitors. Rather, we are saviours. If not for us, both worlds would have been destroyed long ago.”

“Oh?” Chen Xiaolian raised his brows. “So, you plan on telling me everything in person?”

“Yes.” The hologram nodded.

“The truth that, to this day, no one knows about.”
