After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

It's slightly bright.

The Kingdom of Fenrir.

palace.

"Why are you invading my country?" Aegeus knelt on the ground, his hands and feet pierced by chains, and the blood seeping out stained the ground red.

He stared angrily at the red-haired dwarf on the throne.

"We should not have any conflicts of interest."

"Does the Twilight Order need benefits to harm people?" the red-haired dwarf asked back, and with Aegeus' speechless expression, he explained:

"But for a poor country like yours, there really isn't much harm worth doing."

He lowered his head and played with his fingers.

"We just want to use your lives to threaten Akhtar into handing over the Sword of Light."

Aegeus: "..."

This was an unreasonable disaster. He knew that Akhtar was a famous hero and a ruthless man who was an enemy of the gods.

However, he never expected that he would have such an outrageous involvement with Akhtar. In order to snatch the Sword of Light, the Dusk Order rushed to seize his country and use it to threaten Akhtar.

This is too outrageous and too unfortunate.

"Human, if you want to go back to your own country." The red-haired dwarf showed a malicious smile, revealing that there was a crazy flame burning, "You should be better than us, let the hero compromise, right?"

"What if Akhtar is unwilling to hand over the Sword of Light?" Aegeus's voice was low, and then he saw the red-haired dwarf smile evilly and wave his head at his neck, which was a very obvious hint.

If you can't do it, you die.

…

…

barren mountain.

The early morning sun shines through the gaps between clouds and falls on the white snow, reflecting the dim color.

"Without the prototype Sword of Light, the Twilight Believers will not be able to break through the barrier in a short period of time." Ximu leaned against the tree, looking at Eden who was kneeling opposite and grilling fish seriously, and calmly analyzed:

"We must address the source of fear as quickly as possible."

"Then what do you want to do?" Eden looked calm, handed the grilled fish to Akhtar, and said softly:

"Do you still want to summon the Death Witch?"

"Can't you summon the gods?" Ximu took a bite of the grilled fish and looked at the clear river aside, "If I pray to the goddess of life, will..."

"The matter has not reached the point of irreversibility." Eden shook his head and explained to Akhtar, "Before Suna's death and return reaches the limit, the gods do not have to personally take action to solve the source of fear. reason.”

Ximu fell silent and ate the grilled fish in silence. He seemed very disappointed, but he was not surprised at all by the gods' reaction.

After the omniscient god was sealed, the gods in this world lost their leader. Except for the three goddesses of destiny who could exercise partial management rights, the gods were just a loose sand, each with their own thoughts.

Unless the matter is serious enough, the gods will not come to the lower world to solve the problem.

This is both because of the risks and because it has not yet reached the point where intervention is necessary, unless Suna has reached the limit of death and return.

Only then will the three goddesses of destiny really take action to solve the problem.

"Since the gods don't want to... take care of it." He said suddenly, facing Eden's surprised look, "It's better to let me manage this world."

He said something that seemed very arrogant.

"If it were me, I could at least deal with the source of fear quickly."

"There are many people who think like you." Eden's voice was calm, "If I were to manage this world, it would be better than the gods."

She locked eyes with Akhtar.

"But before that, you need to defeat the omniscient god."

"That's really difficult." Ximu took another bite of the grilled fish and said as if he was joking, "If we can know the true form of the omniscient god's ability, we might still have a chance."

"It only makes sense to discuss this when you become a demon." Eden shook his head slightly, carefully observed Ximu's condition, and said:

"You are close to crossing the limit of the human realm." She asked again, "Akhtar, do you really want to become a demon?"

Ximu immediately answered: "Without a doubt."

In this game, only after becoming a demon can you truly experience the pleasure of killing indiscriminately, and single-handedly make the whole world feel terrifying.

In order to kill him, the gods and heroes tried their best to defeat him.

Then he crushed it again, which was great.

"Can you tell me your abilities?" Eden asked without warning, looking at Akhtar's surprised expression.

Under normal circumstances, a person's ability is a very private matter. Unless someone guesses it, or there are other needs, it is normal to choose to conceal one's ability. This is not only to prevent others from targeting you, but also to prevent others from targeting you. ...I can better deal with the enemy.

So it was actually... a bit rude for her to ask about Akhtar's ability to be in good health, and it was very normal for her to be rejected.

Although she meant no harm by asking about Akhtar's abilities.

"It's the player." Ximu replied casually, not hiding his ability at all. In his opinion, this was not a secret worthy of concern. Anyway, he did not rely on the player's ability to fight.

And the reason why Eden asked him about his ability was just to let the Tree of Omniscient analyze it in advance and list out the requirements for the ritual for his promotion to become a demon.

For those who meet the conditions to become a demon, the ritual is the biggest obstacle. Everyone's conditions are different, so the difficulty of execution is naturally different.

And the difficulty of naturally studying the conditions required for the ritual is also different.

"Player?" Eden showed a trace of confusion. She didn't understand why Akhtar had the ability of a player. Any ability that was born was related to the desire of the person's heart, and Akhtar and the concept of players... were hardly involved.

In response, Akhtar started to talk nonsense.

"Do you like playing games?"

"..."

Eden fell into thought.

And Ximu didn't seem to expect Eden's answer, and explained to himself: "Playing games is a very happy thing, and everyone can get fun from it."

He leaned against the tree.

"If life is likened to a game, then I can enjoy the fun of the game to my heart's content."

Eden shook his head and said, "Life is not a game."

"But it can be a game, right?" Ximu smiled, "It's just that compared to games, there are too many rules in the real world, and everyone's winning standards are different."

He met Eden's gaze.

"Actually, I hate the doctrine of not allowing suicide. It's like forcing everyone to play the game of life."

"Even a child knows that when the difficulty of a game is unreasonable, they will want to give up, but the reality is that they have to play it even if they don't want to. No one is allowed to give up the game of life, otherwise they will face unacceptable punishment."

"If I were to design the game, I would modify the rules of the game so that every player can play the game happily and experience the fun of the game."

At this point, he looked away.

"Of course, this is just my wishful thinking."

"This is a very good wish and a very good ability." Eden affirmed and understood Akhtar's idea.

She has lived for a long time and has witnessed the decline and rise of many countries and civilizations. She has a deeper understanding of what Akhtar said.

In different environments, people... have different conditions for success. It may be having a happy family, or being rich enough to rival a country, or of course being well fed and clothed, but no matter what the conditions are.

It will be difficult to achieve because of the constraints of "rules".

When people realize that they can't do it anyway, they will realize failure and give up.

I remember a story a long time ago. A sage created a doll and ordered it to pick up the gold coins on the ground.

The doll did it easily.

Then the sage asked the doll to fish out the fish in the water. The first attempt... failed, and the sage gave the doll severe punishment.

After that, the sage arranged several more experiments. Every time it succeeded, the doll would be rewarded accordingly, and if it failed, it would be severely punished.

The doll naturally realized one thing. If she couldn't complete the sage's order, she would be punished, and if she succeeded, she would be rewarded.

In order not to be punished and to get rewards, the doll tried every way to satisfy the sage. Although the conditions proposed by the sage became more and more difficult, the doll could still meet the sage's requirements most of the time.

Until one day, the sage made a request, asking the doll to fish out the moon in the pond.

The doll failed, and there was no real moon in the pond.

However, the sage did not change his request this time, and asked the puppet to fish out the moon from the pool again and again.

After trying every possible way and making every attempt, the puppet got... always punished, as if it would never succeed.

Then the puppet thought of a way, a way that was closest to success, she committed suicide in front of the sage.

Since she had to be punished anyway, and since there was no way to get the reward anyway, then suicide was the best solution.

Death was the best solution to escape unreasonable rules.

This was the conclusion that the sage got... and what Akhtar had to do was actually to redefine the rules, erase the unreasonable parts of the rules, and allow everyone to play the game.

"If I can do it." Ximu smiled and focused on eating fish. He knew that Eden believed his explanation of the ability of "player".

"If that's what you think." Eden raised her hand and gently brushed the hair beside her ear, as if she had confirmed some information, "Then your ability after becoming a demon should be related to the ability customization of the game rules..."

"What do you mean?" Ximu asked in confusion, "After becoming a demon, my ability is no longer a "player"?"

"Abilities can be expanded." Eden explained, "The same ability will also be used to different degrees due to the different abilities of the user."

She thought for a while and explained.

"Take "life" as an example. The goddess of life can develop the ability of "life" to the degree of omnipotence. Not only can she create life, but she can also interfere with the world. However, if ordinary people use the ability of life, they can only heal the body."

"If you can complete the ritual and become a demon, then the boundaries of your ability can be expanded and transformed into another concept of ability."

Ximu nodded, as if he understood what Eden said.

Although Eden said it was complicated, but... to explain it in a more easy-to-understand way, it is to unlock the corresponding ability terms and make your own abilities more versatile.

And while they were chatting.

The sky suddenly darkened.

"Here we come, Red Dragon King." Ximu looked up at the red dragon covering the sky. He saw a giant dragon that seemed to move mountains, covering the sun in the sky. Its spread wings covered the sky, and its size was even larger than that of a giant. .

"Ang——!!!" The dragon roared loudly, and the red dragon cast its gaze at the tiny human below.

Their eyes met.

No words needed.

Fire overflowed from the teeth of the split wood, spitting out the blazing dragon's breath, which collided with the sky fire spit out by the Red Dragon King.

"Boom!" The blazing flames flooded the sky and the earth, and the spreading light and heat dissolved the thick snow, and then evaporated and disappeared in an instant.

The light converges.

The original snowfield disappeared, leaving behind a piece of red land with hot scorching smoke.

"Are you really seizing the power of the dragon, instead of being...a dragon?" The red-haired strong man walked through the scorching land and came to Akhtar.

"You are more like a dragon than a dragon."

"Unfortunately, I am a human being." Ximu replied casually, seemingly not paying much attention to the Red Dragon King's previous attack.

He said calmly:

"When this is over, I will attack you without any reason."

"It doesn't matter, you can do it at any time." The red-haired man waved his hand, not paying attention to Akhtar's almost provocative remarks.

Dragons originally decide everything with their strength.

Hmm... This is his personal opinion. Today's dragons are very highly social creatures, especially young dragons, who don't look like dragons at all.

It’s not quite the same as the Lone Ranger’s dragon in the past.

"The key now is to solve the source of fear." Suna walked out from behind the Red Dragon King. She closed her eyes and stood between the two... no, maybe between the two dragons.

"If possible, I hope you can get along well."

"They will not have conflicts." Eden comforted him. "They will not be hostile to each other until the source of fear is solved."

"That's good." Su Na patted her plump chest. She was worried that the two of them would fight if they disagreed.

"Back to the topic, now we have two ways to solve the source of fear." Ximu was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the topic:

"Find a nearby country to offer sacrifices and summon the Witch of Death to deal with the source of fear." At this point, he looked to the sky.

"Otherwise, we can only send the source of fear to a place where it will not affect the human world."

"Send the source of fear to high heaven?" The Red Dragon King touched his chin, then shook his head, "Only gods can open the passage to high heaven."

Today will be a double update
