The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate-Chapter 450 - : The Different Choices of All Parties

The signs of the apocalypse were not only appearing in the real world; they were also manifesting in the world of Shelter Game.The monsters within the Shelter Game world had descended into a state of madness. Whether they were the weakest, most ordinary creatures or monsters with divine attributes to some extent, they began to exhibit a variety of strange behaviors.At the same time, a black sun emerged in the skies above every region of the Shelter Game world. This black sun represented the Dark Overlord, embodying pure dark power. As a result, the dark power in every area illuminated by this black sun surged significantly.Most of the members of the Night Blades within the Shelter Game world were currently in a state of panic. Each elder of the Night Blades carefully observed the changes taking place in the Shelter Game world with trepidation.The majority of the Night Blades’ elders returned to the Night Blades’ headquarters, as it was the safest place for them. Those elders who did not return to the headquarters found refuge in the fortresses they had chosen.Elder Astra, of course, was also in his fortress, where he gathered all of his trusted subordinates."Don’t worry! Our fortress can withstand the first wave of the apocalypse. Once that initial wave is over, we will be able to obtain help from our allies," Elder Astra reassured his trusted followers.What he said was undoubtedly true, but he deliberately chose not to specify who his allies were. Elder Astra did not rely on the assistance of Shadow Celestial; instead, he hoped for the support of Elder Seville. Thus, he was waiting for Elder Seville to provide more information."I hope Elder Seville can gather more intelligence and acquire even greater power from the Abyss. The timing of the apocalypse has been moved forward, and without more formidable strength, our plans cannot succeed," Elder Astra muttered to himself.Although he still trusted Elder Seville, his current mood was one of great anxiety.Deep within the Abyss, Elder Seville also sensed the ominous signs of the impending apocalypse.

Although the Abyss was located at the deepest part of the Shelter Game, the impending apocalypse had relatively minor effects on it. However, various abnormal changes were now occurring within the Abyss. The monsters in the Abyss had become even more aggressive than before, seemingly tainted by dark power. At the same time, the terrain of the Abyss underwent transformations. Each region of the Abyss became interconnected, allowing its monsters to quickly devour one another and evolve into true Abyssal Demons.Elder Seville was aware of all these developments, but he had no intention of taking any action. "The early arrival of the apocalypse is good news for me. The first wave of the apocalypse will weaken my opponents, and the impact on the Abyss itself will be minimal. Once my enemies are weakened by the apocalypse, I can eliminate them all at once! Whether it’s Irving or Shadow Celestial, they will ultimately be destroyed by me." Elder Seville’s final decision was to watch coldly from the sidelines and wait for the opportunity to benefit from the chaos. He did not share his decision with Elder Astra, as he saw Astra merely as a pawn in his game.

As the timeline of the apocalypse approached, the anomalies within the Shelter Game world became increasingly numerous. The black sun in the sky had nearly expanded to the point of engulfing the entire sky. Anyone who looked in its direction could see this absolute black sun. At the same time, all monsters, weapons, and items associated with dark power became ineffective. It seemed as though all dark power had been absorbed by the Dark Overlord.

The atmosphere at the Night Blades headquarters grew even more oppressive than before. The elders of the Night Blades were whispering among themselves in the hall, each of their faces shadowed by grim expressions. In the deepest part of the Night Blades headquarters, Shadow Celestial stood expressionless, holding the Chaos Blade, awaiting the arrival of a guest. Shadow Celestial had already expelled his trusted subordinates and the members of the Night Blades. He needed to discuss a very important and secret matter with the incoming guest.

Shadow Celestial carefully placed the Chaos Blade into a sealing box. The moment the box was closed, a figure appeared not far from him. This figure was the Apocalypse Proclaimer."How have you considered it?" the Apocalypse Proclaimer asked Shadow Celestial coldly. His attitude towards Shadow Celestial was far from friendly, but Shadow Celestial did not complain."I have made my decision. I am willing to collaborate with you. I am also willing to serve the great Dark Overlord, but I have one condition," Shadow Celestial replied calmly. He paused for a moment to gauge Apocalypse Proclaimer’s expression. "My condition is that I wish to obtain all the chaos power."

The Apocalypse Proclaimer did not respond immediately; he merely retorted coolly, "Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate terms with the great Dark Overlord? The great master does not need your assistance. I am here merely to give you a chance to survive."The coldness of the Apocalypse Proclaimer exceeded Shadow Celestial’s expectations. However, Shadow Celestial was not willing to let the negotiation fall apart just like that. "The great Dark Overlord indeed possesses incredibly powerful strength, and the dark power He wields is beyond imagination. But without my help, He cannot easily destroy the entire world. Irving holds secrets; although I do not yet know what those secrets are, they must pose a threat to the Dark Overlord. Otherwise, you would not be here discussing collaboration with me."

Finally, Shadow Celestial revealed his trump card. Initially, he thought Irving was just an exceptionally talented ordinary player in the Shelter Game, but after interacting with the Apocalypse Proclaimer, Shadow Celestial keenly suspected that Irving harbored a secret that could threaten the Dark Overlord.The Apocalypse Proclaimer raised an eyebrow. He had indeed underestimated Shadow Celestial. However, even if Shadow Celestial had guessed that Irving held a secret, the Apocalypse Proclaimer was not willing to make significant concessions. "Irving is indeed a considerable threat, but I believe the great master can easily crush this threat."

The Apocalypse Proclaimer’s tone shifted slightly; he was no longer as cold as before, though he still did not seem overly warm. Shadow Celestial seized this opportunity to continue persuading him. "I believe the great Dark Overlord can indeed crush Irving, but wouldn’t it be better to do so more smoothly? I can help you eliminate Irving more efficiently. I only wish to obtain the chaos power. I think my demand is quite reasonable."

Shadow Celestial’s persuasion proved successful. Although the Apocalypse Proclaimer still wanted to refuse Shadow Celestial’s proposal, a whisper suddenly echoed in his ears. This whisper came from the Dark Overlord. "The master agrees to your proposal. You can obtain all the chaos power after the master descends. However, you must immediately deal with Irving after the first wave of the apocalypse has passed!" Read exclusive content at novelbuddy

Thus, the Apocalypse Proclaimer and Shadow Celestial reached a collaboration. The Dark Overlord would not descend at the very moment the apocalypse arrived. The first wave of the apocalypse would cause horrific casualties, and the wails and suffering of so many lives at the brink of death would help establish a passage for the Dark Overlord’s arrival. It was through this passage that the Dark Overlord could manifest in the real world. Once the Dark Overlord successfully arrived, all beings that survived the first wave of the apocalypse would face ultimate destruction.

Shadow Celestial casually agreed, "Rest assured, after the first wave of the apocalypse passes, I will immediately launch an attack on Hope Ark. Irving and his companions will surely hide within Hope Ark." In reality, Shadow Celestial had already discovered the exact location of Hope Ark. The Apocalypse Proclaimer nodded, "That’s good. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave!"

As the Apocalypse Proclaimer departed, Shadow Celestial called back all his trusted subordinates. "The apocalypse is about to arrive. You must ensure that you remain at the Night Blades headquarters. Only here can you receive protection." After saying this, Shadow Celestial returned to his residence.

In the Shelter Game world, every individual with powerful abilities had to make choices, and Sophia, who had just escaped her predicament, was no exception. Sophia possessed the formidable power of the Blood Moon. The Blood Moon inherently represented curses and madness, enabling Sophia to predict the precise timing of the apocalypse. With the impending arrival of the apocalypse, Sophia had to consider her escape route.

The attributes of the Blood Moon power were somewhat similar to those of dark power. If the Dark Overlord were to truly descend, the Blood Moon power would undoubtedly be consumed by the Dark Overlord. This was something Sophia could not accept. Therefore, she ultimately decided to hide herself away. "When the Dark Overlord descends, Irving will surely oppose Him. At that time, I might be able to wait for both Irving and the Dark Overlord to weaken each other before I eliminate them together. Then I can possess both the power of the Taikoo Divine Clan and dark energy."

In truth, Sophia also wanted to watch her enemies destroy each other from a distance. However, her plan came with significant risks. If the Dark Overlord proved too powerful and eliminated Irving outright, Sophia would have no room to maneuver. Thus, she needed to closely observe all the subtle changes in the power dynamics within the Shelter Game world. If Irving was significantly weaker than the Dark Overlord, Sophia would have to side with Irving directly.

Before that, however, Sophia needed to consolidate all her Blood Moon power. After the apocalypse arrived, the monsters created by the Blood Moon power would lose their significance. When the Dark Overlord truly manifested in the Shelter Game world, only the wielders of various attribute powers would be qualified to participate in the final showdown. To increase her chances of success, Sophia had to gather all the Blood Moon power into her possession.
