Chapter 412: Winner (1/2)
BOOM
The combination between poison element and dragon fire element created a chemical bomb, spreading green flame and yellow gas around.
Uriel sensed the harmful gas and flame. He created a barrier dome, trapping the entire arena. No gas, flame, or unknown substances could leak from the dome.
As a consequence, the yellow fume filled the dome within a few seconds.
A minute later, White Album reappeared among the spectators of Siren City. She coughed out yellow smoke from her lungs and cleaned her eyes with clean water as if she had been hit by tear gas.
”DAMN MIAOMIAO! I WAS STILL IN THERE!!”
White Album yelled in Xu Xiuying's voice. Since the two women became one, they shared conscience, memory, body, and behavior. Just now, the outburst came from Xu Xiuying.
The voice of Miaomiao could be heard from inside the dome in respond, ”Sorry! I mixed too much poison Qi!”
The gas and the flame dispersed, revealing the aftermath of the explosion.
Only Miaomiao remained inside the dome. No trace of Ling Tianlong could be found.
Seeing the aftermath, Uriel smiled. Yuan Shaoqing's face turned white while Fang Yanxu's expression distorted in frustration and anger.
The result was obvious.
Uriel immediately ended the farce, ”Winner, Mao Miaomiao. Siren City wins this war game!”
The crowd from Siren City cheered, except Miaomiao and Wei Yuan. Their faces were dark as they knew that the fight with this protagonist was far from over.
No system notification appeared after the explosion. No protagonist hunting quest notification had been updated.
Dion didn't confirm the kill! Ling Tianlong was alive!
…
Before the explosion could destroy Ling Tianlong's soul, he fetched a strange cubic box and opened it.
His body was incinerated to ash, but his tattered soul entered the mysterious box. The cube disappeared afterward.
Ling Tianlong maintained his consciousness throughout the process. He could feel himself being sucked into a pocket dimension in the Rubik cube.
The dimension was a dark void with nothing in sight.
Ling Tianlong heaved a sigh of relief that he managed to get away from the predicament with his soul.
'Siren City, Kishin Douji… Once I'm recovered, I'll return this humiliation a thousand folds! And you, Mao Miaomiao. I swear, I'll cut your dick and shove it in your ass! How dare you have sex in front of me when I haven't had one in hundreds of years!!?'
As Ling Tianlong was daydreaming, a hoarse voice of an unknown being resounded in the void.
”The portal…”
A green monster beast with four legs, a large wolf-like jaw, 50 sharp fangs, fiery male lion fur around its neck, wolf tail, and two horns appeared in front of Ling Tianlong. Just by sitting still, its height towered over 20 meters.
Though it was similar to a giant wolf, its human hands and tiger claws stood out. The hands exuded a strange aura, similar to what Killer Queen naturally produced when she was alone with Miaomiao.
Ling Tianlong felt like an ant as he watched the giant wolf-like beast hovering and sitting in the void before him.
”You opened the portal, and I CAME!”
The monster was a soul of Taotie, one of the four races of Hell Fiends in the legends. Behind him, a million monsters with the same appearance as the Taotie glared at Ling Tianlong with their glowing crimson pupils.
From a glance, they looked like a massive pack of wolves.
”For a moment there, I forgot that this box is a portal to your realm.”
”Mortal, since you have opened the box, I assume that you've prepared for the consequences.”
Ling Tianlong's expression turned solemn. He stared into the Taotie's eyes and nodded.
”I'm prepared.”
…
'Figured. If he dies too easily, he can't be considered a protagonist. I haven't even messed with his plot armors yet, so he must have some sort of OP life-saving treasure on him.'
Miaomiao was annoyed. He believed that the next time Ling Tianlong reappeared, he would be many times stronger than today.
[The Monkey King is pulling his hairs and screaming to the sky.]
[The escape of Ling Tianlong irritates the Anonymous Devil.]
[Sun Wu accidentally crushes his favorite teacup under his palm due to his complex emotion.]
[The majority of your viewers are disappointed that Ling Tianlong has escaped in the nick of time.]
As Miaomiao had expected, many fans of his wanted Ling Tianlong to die as well.
[Macho Joshua has sent you a message.]
[”Don't take it too hard upon yourself. Nobody could have imagined that he had the portal artifact. Maybe, his luck or fate power was stronger than yours. If I have to guess, he hasn't completed what he is fated to do yet. Be patient and train hard in the meantime. You'll run into him sooner than you thought.”]
Fortunately, Joshua was kind and forgiving. He consoled and encouraged Miaomiao while the Devil and other subscribers usually mocked or laughed at his misfortune.
Miaomiao smiled as he was glad that Joshua was his business partner.
[”Now that we have finished the event on your planet, let's talk about the commission fee, assistance fee, VAT, taxes, and more handling service charges that you haven't paid me for sending Uriel there yet.”]
Miaomiao took it back. The god was a capitalist to the core.
[”We usually charge our customers 100 4th-grade soul stones up front when they sign a contract to deploy one of our archangels. The service fee, including VAT and taxes, is five 4th-grade soul stones per minute of deployment. However, since this is an emergency, we'll give you a promotional discount. We'll charge you only one 3rd-grade soul stone for everything we've done for you today, and we'll make the payment from the unpaid balance.”]
'… Why don't you just take everything, you money-grubber.'
Macho Joshua ignored him and continued rambling.
[”Also, your profit from the previous gamble was 4,750 1st-grade soul stones. But since your current unpaid balance is insufficient, we'll subtract this as a payment.”]
