Chapter 358: Autism Correctional Fist (1/2)

Rules were either set in place by the gods of gods whose names no mortals would know when the world was first created, or were derived and amended by the gods born later.

Either way, Rules were very important and a constant for this world. Most races would never be able to touch it, let alone change it so that an entire world became their weapon.

Could the high elves have caused their own downfall because of their intentions to change those Rules? Is that what the ‘atrocity’ in the even name (Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN): Ancient Atrocities] referred to?

Edward found that reasoning rather implausible even as he thought about it.

After all, rewriting Rules were rare circumstances, but not inexistent. Almost all legendary beings reached the foundation of Rules, hence escaping the world’s restraint. In fact, it was only by achieving this that one could be considered a legendary champion. Moreover, there were bounded fields that corrupts the Rules of this world to a certain extent and a period of time, creating more Rules that were distinctly different from Reality. While such a bounded field would never compare to the Elven SIN, it still holds similarities, not to mention that the known legendary beings were alive and well…

If they took a step back to check, even the Players themselves counted as beings who had transcended a number of Rules. While they must follow the Rules of the Game that Xi Wei had dictated and were not immune towards basic Rules like Gravity, it was true that their existence was a product of adjusted Rules.

And since the Players had the God of Games watching their backs, Edward would never believe any claims that the high elves had no gods supporting them too.

“Forget it. There’s no meaning in thinking such things…”

Edward gave up on thinking eventually, since such wretched matters had nothing to do with clearing their dungeon, and continuing that trail of thoughts would lead to horrific places.

Moreover, the God of Games were not having the Players fight the entire world like the high elves did. Instead, they were only exploring a relic they left, more or less in penance for high elves—there is effort even if their contribution didn’t count!

That was why what he needed to do now was still considering how to clear Dark Sky, the third stratum of the Elven SIN.

“No point in thinking. Let’s just get in the dungeon.”

Meanwhile, Princess Leah was raring to go.

No thanks to old Vanke’s constant watch and being forced to farm dungeons which were ensured to be safe beforehand, the young girl was the most excited person in the group since it had been a long time since she had a good adventure.

In contrast, Jessica who hadn’t been adventuring recently but was quieter wasn’t feeling so anxious, merely silently watching with an OMO look on her face.

“Right, there won’t be new clues even if we keep thinking. We won’t have new information if we don’t clear it personally…”

[Mufasa: I seem to have new information.]

Edward: ???

(Mufasa: It’s not just light. The monsters in the Dark Sky react to sounds as well albeit less sharply, and the larger the monster is, the slower they react.)

(Mufasa: They devour each other as well, and the bottom of the food chain is some luminous mushrooms that looked like jellyfishes.)
