Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

Chapter 59 Death, and methods other than death

"calm down."

After a while, Yang Qi's burning heart calmed down.

"With this unreal bead, if I can enter Cronus' memory again, the power I can gain from it will be several times that of before!"

"However, every time you seize power, you must have a measure."

Yang Qi thought of the woman who lingered in dreams and refused to return to reality.

"Otherwise, you will be like her...reversing dreams and reality and living in a dream forever..."

Yang Qi lowered his head and looked at the dragon's body. It was 30 meters long, with green scales and green mist. Hundreds of flowers were in full bloom on the dragon's wings, and countless butterflies were flying around it.

The dragon's teeth, dragon's claws, and dragon's tail shine with cold light and are extremely sharp.

"I'm at my best right now."

"Then this is the last time of the simulation. The target: that infinitely almost transparent blue flower!"

Yang Qi planned the simulation strategy in his mind.

"Since it was discovered that there will be a rain of arrows from a million miles away on the 100th day, the gameplay of the simulation world seems to have changed a bit."

"The strategy that suits me best right now is to become as strong as possible in the first 90 days, leaving the last 10 days for action."

"Speaking of which...are there any more efficient strategies to become stronger within these 90 days?"

Yang Qi reviewed the previous simulations and presented them one by one in his mind.

"Currently, there are two main ways to become stronger."

"One is just lingering in its nest, constantly hunting all kinds of prey that pass by."

"To the north is the Tower of Angels, and we cannot move forward. To the east is the river that will devour all living things. To the south is almost no prey, and there are powerful lion knights everywhere."

"The only way left is to go to the west, lie in ambush near the spring, eat the corpses of the creatures killed by the Headless Horseman, and gain the power from them."

"Which of these two paths is more efficient and can improve my strength to the strongest within 90 days?"

Yang Qi kept thinking in his mind, "I'm afraid it's most efficient to stay in the nest."

"Mainly because of the Starlight Deer King that came to attack me after I hunted several Starlight Giant Deer! It has a lot of divine power around it."

Yang Qi made up his mind, "Start the simulation!"

The previous simulation process is the same.

[On the 89th day, you leave the nest and head towards the spring in the west. 】

[On the 90th day, you come near the spring. 】

[On a rainy night, you see two silver moons rising in the sky, emitting an extremely coquettish light. 】

[You see the Silver Headless Horseman praying to the Silver Moon, and then he slowly leaves. 】

"This is it!" Yang Qi thought in his mind. In the last simulation, he charged towards the spring here and was killed by the knight.

"No rush! I still have 10 days to find a more suitable opportunity!"

[You lurk nearby, motionless, staring at the spring water. 】

[The moment the Silver Headless Horseman left, you saw countless creatures exploding in the dark night, and they rushed towards the spring crazily. 】

[You hear a rumbling sound in the distance, and you see a purple two-headed knight driving a huge chariot, holding a spear, and rushing towards the spring. 】

[A terrifying light shines on the heaven and earth, and the chariot and spears of the purple-armored two-headed knight crush all living creatures. 】

"Sure enough, this is the plot...fortunately I didn't get involved."

Yang Qi evaluated the strength of the purple-armored two-headed knight in his mind. He is undoubtedly the strongest among the three knights who have appeared so far!

"The red-armored headless knight who appeared first is the weakest, followed by the silver-armored headless knight, and finally the purple-armored two-headed knight. Their strength increases in an incremental relationship!"

"There are still 10 days left, and we will reach the 100-day mark..."

Yang Qi reviewed the previous simulation in his mind.

This spring was guarded by a red-armored headless horseman from the time he was born until he was 30 days old.

From 30 to 90 days, he is the headless horseman in shining armor.

Late at night on the 90th day, the purple-armored two-headed knight will come.

"Wait..." Yang Qi suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Red armor, silver armor, purple armor, these three kinds of knights are not going back and forth to guard this spring, right?"

"Will the Purple Armor Knight leave on the 100th day?"

"If he leaves on the 100th day and is replaced by the red-armored Headless Horseman, I should be strong enough to defeat him!"

Yang Qi evaluated the combat effectiveness of the three knights in his mind. The battle with the purple-armored two-headed knight was extremely dangerous and it was almost impossible to survive.

The Knight in Shining Armor can defeat it if he's lucky.

The red-armored knight is more confident.

"There are still 10 days left... Just wait... No matter what, I will take action before the 100th day."

[You continue to ambush nearby, eating corpses and accumulating strength. 】

[Day 92, nothing happened. 】

[Day 93, nothing happened. 】

…

[It rained heavily late at night on the 99th day. Three purple moons rise and illuminate the earth. 】

[You see the purple-armored two-headed knight praying to the moon, and then leave here. 】

[You see the red-armored Headless Horseman coming from a distance. He holds a bright red sword. 】

"Sure enough!!! My guess is good. The 100th day is a very special time node. Three groups of knights will form a cycle here!"

"Don't rush yet! Let the other creatures go first!"

[You are still lurking in the shadows. 】

[Countless roars erupted all around, and countless creatures and monsters emerged from the darkness, charging toward the spring. 】

[You see the red-armored headless knight raising the giant sword in his hand. The giant sword breaks apart and turns into countless blood beads. The blood beads rise to the sky and turn into a bright red blood curtain, falling from the sky. 】

[A bright red blood curtain covered the land with a radius of thousands of miles, and the creatures and beasts burst out with blood and screamed again and again. 】

[You see the red-armored Headless Horseman fighting fiercely with many creatures. 】

"It's now!"

[At this moment, you flutter your wings and take off. 】

[You mobilize the divine power in your body and spit out a huge wave of green light, followed by a blue-black dragon flame light pillar. 】

[All the surrounding creatures were swallowed up by your light tide and dragon flames, but the red-armored knight blocked your attack. 】

[You mobilize the power of the wind, move forward, and start a hand-to-hand fight with the red-armored knight. 】

[You fought fiercely, and you were seriously injured, but the red-armored Headless Horseman didn't fare well either. 】

[Suddenly, you discovered his flaw. You locked him tightly with your dragon claws, spitting out fierce blue-black flames from your mouth. 】

[The red-armored Headless Horseman was defeated by you. 】

[It fell to the ground, and a ray of bright red divine power rose into the sky, condensing into a huge bright red moon. 】

[Its armor is scattered on the ground. 】

[You swallow the armor into your belly. 】

[You wasted no time, dived into the spring water at high speed, and swallowed the infinite and almost transparent blue flower in one gulp. 】

[Then swallow the sword near the blue flower into his belly. 】

[The spring dried up quickly. 】

[You find that at the bottom of the dry spring, divine power fluctuates, and then a beam of light rises into the sky. You feel that it contains the divine power of time and space. 】

[You touch the light pillar with your dragon claw, and then the entire dragon body is pulled into it. 】

【You left the simulation world. 】

[The Fountain of Flowers and Swords is completed]

[You did not leave the simulated world due to death, but teleported out of the simulated world. You can take away all the power and gains. 】

[You gain the following gains. 】

[Red Headless Horseman’s Armor]

【Infinitely almost transparent blue flower】

[Infinitely almost transparent sword]

【99 days of power】

【99 days of agility】

Yang Qi suddenly woke up from the simulation.

"It turns out that death is the only way to come out of the simulated world?!"
