Under the angry gazes of the crowd, a figure first appeared from the portal in the church hall. Although he wore a somewhat rough beast-skin outfit, his appearance was familiar to most people. It was Ye Dui.
He glanced around with his eyes and waved his arm with a smile, as if greeting everyone. Following him, Debbie, Gu Ni, Xi Le Si, Lei Sha and other companions close to Ye Dui appeared one after another.
The anger on everyone’s faces turned to shock. As the most prominent figure in the Star Empire recently, everyone knew about the eccentric companions around Ye Dui. Now seeing them emerge one by one, each in good condition with no sign of injury, and even looking satisfied as if they had just enjoyed a feast, everyone could not help but wonder in their hearts, did you just return from a holiday?
Jacob and Danni also appeared in the hall. The two were nestled together, looking very close. Danni held a little girl by the hand. The little girl was naturally Bao Bao. She was now very familiar with everyone around Ye Dui and had been cared for by Danni just now.
As for Ser Ti, Ye Dui had placed him in the [storage space]. A talking head from the era of the gods was too shocking to reveal.
Seeing Jacob appear with a radiant look, those who had anticipated the outcome of the Crown War felt a tremor in their hearts. The final victor… was it Jacob?
The girl held by Danni’s hand also left them puzzled.
Immediately after, others appeared in front of the portal. The second prince, third prince, fifth prince, seventh prince, eighth prince, eleventh prince, twelfth prince, and their respective guards were all present. The effeminate eldest son Kun Lan from the Golden Snake Laen family, and Ming Yi, the eldest daughter of the Moon Gem Steyr family who was also the mother of the twelfth prince, were there too.
Soon, someone noticed that among the four great families, the Beast Jo Rees family, the Candle Fire Kulun family, and some guards secretly arranged by the church were missing.
The result of the Crown War was already clear.
Among the major forces in the empire, the ones most opposed to Ye Dui were undoubtedly the Beast Jo Rees family, the church, and the Kulun family controlled by the church. Everyone seemed to instinctively understand that in the secret realm world, people had divided into two sides. One side was Ye Dui, the other was those targeting Ye Dui. Then, those targeting Ye Dui had been completely eliminated…
Although the Crown Battlefield was the empire’s war for the throne’s succession, Ye Dui had undoubtedly become the protagonist of this war.
Now, the survivors had all left the secret realm world. It was worth noting that the Beggar Prince, the sixth prince, was the only one among the outsiders who decided to stay in the secret realm world. He hoped to hone his swordsmanship there, so the sixth prince was not in the hall now.
Of course, few people paid much attention to this eccentric prince.
Soon, the last two people appeared in the church hall. Seeing these two, everyone present was shocked. Green was holding Posili!
The portal behind them slowly closed.
“The successor to the Xiang King!?” Posili had actually been carried out of the secret realm world by someone. Countless people were stunned speechless, including Prince Gale. Most did not know that Posili had secretly joined the Crown War. Now, seeing Posili in a somewhat pained state, held in a man’s arms, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.
A hoarse, angry voice suddenly rang out. “What have you done!?” The owner of the voice was an old man in black clothes. As he spoke, a huge magic guide book appeared beside him. Though not as large as the Xiang King’s magic guide book, it was still far beyond that of an ordinary magic tutor. He was the guard beside Posili, Hei Xiang Shi.
His purpose in existing was to protect the Xiang King magic tutor step by step to gain power and reach the peak!
More than half a month before the Crown War began, he had been asked by Posili to attack Prince Gale’s mansion and injure the black-armoured guard warrior that Prince Gale had originally planned to assign to Ye Dui’s team. Taking advantage of sending him away, Posili had made her own decision to join the Crown War through the ninth prince. What a reckless girl!
These past few days, Hei Xiang Shi had been filled with unspeakable worry and self-blame. Now, he finally saw Posili appear, but she looked as if she was seriously injured, held in the arms of a bald man…
This was humiliating!
Hei Xiang Shi was furious beyond measure.
Powerful lightning energy began to brew and spread around his body. Lightning attacks seemed about to begin.
The atmosphere in the church hall suddenly became tense.
Prince Gale frowned slightly and quickly signalled his black-armoured guard attendants to prepare.
Now, the five great families of the empire were all here. The prince chosen by the Crown War was not one they supported. They might take desperate measures. Of course, under pressure, they would not act rashly themselves. Attacking the winner of the Crown War would be treason. But now, with Hei Xiang Shi taking the lead in attacking, they could shift all responsibility to the Magic Guild afterwards.
Now, experts from the Beast Jo Rees, Candle Fire Kulun, and some from the church had all moved out. They summoned magic guide books or drew long swords from their waists and took out holy books, approaching Ye Dui and the others.
“What are you doing?” Ye Dui’s smiling face suddenly turned cold.
“Stop it, all of you!” Prince Gale also shouted loudly in a hurry.
But the people from those families had no intention of stopping. The cold light in their eyes grew sharper.
A powerful believer launched the first attack. Several believers began chanting holy words, and a few magic tutors had already started releasing spells.
Lei Sha, Debbie, Xi Le Si and others immediately became tense and prepared to resist.
Ye Dui, however, smiled and said to his companions beside him, “Do not act. Let me handle it. I have a new magic that I want to try…”
…
After clearing the Crown Battlefield, Ye Dui received a huge points reward. Most importantly, he also got three lottery chances.
Because Ye Dui’s magic realm was already very high now, the lottery options had also changed: thank you for your participation, 200 points, 500 points, 1000 points, 10000 points, 20000 points, 50000 points, try again, random [enlightenment], free [enlightenment], random unlock magic attribute, intermediate spell pack, intermediate curse emoji pack, and so on…
These were similar to the original lottery, just with more points options added. Besides these, some extra special options had been added to the lottery wheel, such as various purchasable items from the mall, various magic cars and weapons.
Even flying magic vehicles could be obtained through the lottery.
There were even discount cards for the mall at nine-fold, eight-fold, seven-fold, six-fold, five-fold off. Finally, there were some iPad options that could unlock amplification abilities.
Ye Dui also discovered that his iPad had unlocked a lottery option, meaning he could spend points to get lottery chances. The lottery was divided into levels, including low probability lottery (1000 points), medium probability lottery (5000 points), high probability lottery (10000 points).
The high probability lottery chance that Ye Dui got from clearing the mission meant he had a higher chance of drawing high-value items. At that time, he used these three chances with full expectation.
The first time, he drew 500 points.
The second time was worse. He actually got the worst one, thank you for your participation.
The third time filled Ye Dui with surprise. He got a weapon from the Fast and Furious series: rocket launcher (from Fast and Furious 5).
Of course, the magic-modified version was called magic guide missile.
From this, it could be seen that although the high probability lottery had a higher chance of drawing good things, it still carried a high risk of drawing nothing. However, after using these three chances, Ye Dui felt like a player addicted to spending money. His heart heated up, and he spent 10000 points to buy ten low probability lottery chances, using them all at once.
This time, it hit him hard. The first seven draws were all small prizes like thank you for your participation and 200 points. Now, 200 points to Ye Dui was like drawing toilet paper in a lottery, not worth mentioning.
But what surprised him was that the eighth time, he drew something good again.
“iPad Air music playback amplification ability unlocked!”
The next two had no gains.
After this small spending spree, Ye Dui recognised the uncontrollability of the lottery and stopped in time. He did not continue wasting points on it. Although he had a lot of points left now, it could not support him continuing to spend. Quitting while ahead was the best.
The music playback amplification ability he got from the lottery made Ye Dui feel quite surprised after studying it.
Now, facing the encirclement in the church hall, Ye Dui immediately activated this ability.
This new ability was perfect for handling this situation.
…
The swordsman who launched the first attack unleashed a powerful sword technique. His body swooped down from the air like a lone bird, hands gripping the sword as he slashed towards Ye Dui’s head.
But in that instant, he heard a burst of dynamic music, accompanied by a strange singing voice. That sound had a magical power that instantly swept away his killing intent. In its place came a strong urge to… dance!
With a thud, the swordsman fell from the air to the ground and began to involuntarily sway his body to the dynamic rhythm.
The believers who had started chanting holy words were disturbed by the powerful music. Their sincere faith in the gods seemed instantly broken. Their moods lifted, their bodies began to tremble, the trembling turned to dancing, and soon they joined the dancing rhythm.
The spells of several magic tutors were ready to launch, but suddenly they found they could not release them towards Ye Dui and the others. Those spells were all shot towards the dome of the church hall. Bang. Fire spells, lightning spells, ice spells exploded in the air, bursting into brilliant colours… just like strobe lights in a dance hall.
The several people in the church hall who had killing intent towards Ye Dui now moved in perfect unison, dancing to the rhythmic music. The scene was so spectacular and… shameful.
“I look up to the moon above, how many dreams fly freely there. Yesterday’s forgotten, the sadness dried by the wind. I want to meet you again on that vast road…”
Those who could still stay clear-headed looked at the dancing crowd with expressions of utmost astonishment. Even some with weaker resolve involuntarily began to shake their bodies, feeling a strong urge to join in.
This was the new ability Ye Dui had unlocked from the lottery, the BGM amplification effect. It could convert some music into unique demonic sound effects. The brainwashing divine song “Moon Above” had the effect of making those with killing intent towards Ye Dui start “forced square dancing”. Besides this song, a few others like “Disco at the Grave” also had “forced awkward dancing” special effects, but their influence was far less than this moon divine song.
Among those present, the ones who had just tried to attack were now involuntarily drawn into the square dance rhythm. But some with strong resolve barely resisted Ye Dui’s mental attack. For example, a church bishop was bowing his head and silently reciting the holy book to resist the demonic sound entering his ears. Hei Xiang Shi’s face showed pain. He forcibly bit his lip to stay awake. He looked at Ye Dui with angry eyes.
“Posili is not injured. Please let me explain first. She just…” Ye Dui saw that the scene was under control, so he said to Hei Xiang Shi.
“Shut up. You actually attacked and hurt the successor. Unforgivable!” Hei Xiang Shi shouted in anger.
“Who hurt her? She did it herself…” Ye Dui continued.
“Aaahhh—” Hei Xiang Shi roared, lightning wrapping around his body layer by layer. His magic guide book attribute was lightning. At this moment, he seemed to turn into a terrifying thunder beast, charging towards Ye Dui.
Then, with a boom, an explosion hit Hei Xiang Shi, blasting his body straight into the wall on one side of the church hall. Ye Dui took the rocket launcher (magic guide missile) off his shoulder and continued to Hei Xiang Shi, “Why do you attack without letting people finish speaking? Is there no reasoning?”
The others: “…”
Hei Xiang Shi was still Hei Xiang Shi after all. The demonic sound greatly restricted his power, plus he was caught off guard by the magic guide missile. Though he looked miserable, with smoke rising from his head, he was not seriously hurt. He jumped down from the cracked wall, lightning flashing as he prepared to attack again.
At this moment, Posili, held in Green’s arms, finally woke up. She hurriedly shouted from her mouth, “Grandpa Hei, do not attack! I am fine!”
“Posili, you, you are injured…” Hei Xiang Shi’s expression changed in shock as he quickly said.
“I, I am not injured…” Posili jumped down from Green’s arms, but her body was still unsteady. She supported herself on Green’s shoulder. The girl’s face was red as blood. She lowered her head and said, “Just now inside, I ate a bit too much… I overate.”
All the others: “…Ah?”
Ye Dui said helplessly with a face, “I said she is fine. Just now, she was competing with Gu Ni in eating inside, and naturally, she overate until she fainted…”
The poor Xiang King magic tutor girl had hoped to win back some pride in eating against Ye Dui’s group, but she met the god-level opponent Gu Ni.
And the others felt that mixing with Ye Dui’s group would turn one into a fool?
