Windless City had forcibly established a [Bridge] to Stan Town. However, after Debbie, Guni, and Salome charged into the [Bridge], an unexpected incident caused the [Bridge] to dissipate. Thinking of the three girls’ drunken state, the people of Stan Town felt indescribable worry for them.
Green, Old Merlin, and Serti hurriedly began studying the shattered [Bridge]. The [Bridge] had already connected the two fragment worlds, producing linked coordinates between them. Now, if they could find a way to repair the broken [Bridge], reconnecting the two worlds would be much simpler than building a new one. Still, it was far from easy.
Green and Merlin worked frantically, their heads full of worries.
Ye Chui’s face carried a hint of gloom and ferocity. He gathered Resa, Silis, Cass, Ross, Gayton, Matt, Harley, and the others. Everyone was fully armed and ready for battle, waiting for the moment the [Bridge] reconnected so they could immediately charge into Windless City.
Time passed slowly. Ye Chui paced back and forth anxiously. Although Debbie, Guni, and Salome were experienced adventurers armed with powerful weapons, they now faced a fragment world infamous for its savagery…
“I hope nothing happens to them. If something does happen to them, then I… I…”
Ye Chui realised he could not even imagine life without Debbie by his side. He could not imagine what madness would overtake him if Guni and Salome, the girls who felt like little sisters to him, were to die.
“Finally reconnected!” After roughly two hours, Old Merlin let out a surprised shout. The magic array that had previously formed the pillar of light lit up again. A pillar of light shot into the sky once more.
Green wiped the sweat from his forehead. Standing beside the pillar of light, he sensed the profound mysteries of the magic characters and said in astonishment, “So this is how ancient magic operates… It is far more complex than grimoire magic, but also much more flexible. If one could master this magical language, learning and creating new magic would become so much easier. I truly envy those magicians who lived in the ancient Age of the Gods!”
“You do not need to envy them. You have already entered the field of learning ancient magic, the realm of true magic. Your talent is quite good.” Serti, placed on a stool, smiled and praised Green. “I remember the God of the Gods once said that magic is like programming, and magicians are programmers. He also said that bald programmers are the most powerful ones. I do not know what a programmer is, but if a magician goes bald, perhaps they would become extremely powerful too?”
“Eh? Is that how it works?” Green touched his shiny bald head in pleasant surprise.
Hearing this nearby, Ye Chui’s expression became somewhat subtle. Magic is programming, magicians are programmers… Could it be that his predecessor, the God of the Gods, was actually a programmer in his previous life?
Maybe even a skilled hacker or something. That would explain why he was so formidable after arriving in this world.
Ye Chui shook his head. Now was not the time to think about such things. He looked at the pillar of light, his face turning cold. He waved to the people behind him, then stepped forward first, shotgun in hand, and walked into the pillar of light. “We set off!”
At the same time as Ye Chui…
Amid hot-blooded, cool background music, Ye Chui’s group charged into the pillar of light, loudly chambering rounds into their modified firearms.
A sense of disorientation enveloped all of them. It made their bodies feel weightless and directionless. To Ye Chui, it felt similar to the moment he was first exiled to the Godsin Continent. This was teleportation, but completely different from ordinary teleportation magic.
In an instant, Ye Chui’s feet touched solid ground. The disorientation vanished. The teleportation was complete!
Ye Chui cautiously stepped out of the light curtain, fully prepared for bloody combat.
“Debbie—” Ye Chui shouted loudly.
Then…
He and his companions were suddenly stunned by the scene before them.
They had arrived in what appeared to be an arena, but now the entire place was covered in blood. Corpses lay everywhere. Blood had almost completely dyed the ground red. Some dark-skinned people dressed in rags, looking like slaves, were cleaning up the bodies. When they saw Ye Chui and the others suddenly appear, they immediately showed expressions of vigilance and fear. A few even screamed and ran outside.
Ye Chui’s group stood there dumbfounded for a moment.
“What happened here? It looks like a huge battle just took place…” Ye Chui examined the corpses. “These wounds were caused by firearms!”
“Was this Debbie and the others?” Resa said in some surprise. “So many people… They really went on quite the drunken rampage.”
“I wonder how they are now.” Ye Chui quickly calmed down. He walked straight up to one of the slaves and asked, “We are looking for someone. Tell me, what happened here not long ago?”
“Who… who are you…” The slave Ye Chui questioned trembled as he answered. “The warriors descended here and liberated all the slave brothers. They are our saviours, the gods we serve and pray to. Who are you? If… if you intend to harm them, then kill me first!”
As he spoke these words, the slave who had been full of fear suddenly seemed to grow much braver. He straightened his back and stared directly at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui and his companions exchanged glances: Warriors? Saviours? Gods they serve and pray to?
Holy crap, Debbie and the others just got drunk and went on a rampage, yet somehow they gained so many titles?
Ye Chui tried to speak as gently as possible. “The warriors you mentioned are our friends. We would never harm them. Where are they now? Take us to them.”
“You really are friends of the warriors?” The slave’s expression eased slightly.
“Yes. Their names are Debbie, Guni, and Salome. Am I right?” Ye Chui offered proof.
But the slave looked confused. “I do not know the warriors’ names…” He seemed to decide to trust Ye Chui’s group for the time being. “Alright, I can take you to meet Lord Bika. Let him decide whether to believe you!”
“Bika?”
On the way following this slave to meet Bika, Ye Chui’s group saw that the streets of Windless City were also filled with traces of battle. Some residents were gloomily cleaning the streets with lowered heads, while some raggedly dressed people directed them like nobles. Ye Chui had long heard about the situation in Windless City. It resembled ancient Roman society. Countless slaves were imprisoned in the arena. These slave gladiators used their blood and flesh to provide bloody entertainment for the other citizens. They were death slaves, of the lowest status, called savage beasts.
But now these gladiator slaves seemed to have been completely liberated. It gave a strong sense of slaves rising up and becoming masters…
This left Ye Chui and the others even more baffled.
Only a little over two hours had passed. What exactly had happened here?
In front of the tallest and most magnificent building in Windless City, Ye Chui saw that Bika.
Bika was also a slave. His skin was dark, his face aged, and his body covered in whip scars. Yet his eyes were extremely wise. He sat cross-legged in front of the grand building, surrounded by countless other slaves. From their appearance, it seemed they were prepared to defend this mansion with their lives.
This mansion clearly belonged to the Windless City Lord. Were Debbie and the others inside right now?
The slave hurriedly explained Ye Chui’s group’s origins to Bika. After listening, Bika stood up, walked over to them, and looked them up and down with vigilant eyes.
“Um, hello. We are friends of your warriors…” Ye Chui introduced himself somewhat awkwardly. “My name is Ye Chui.”
“Bika.” Bika pointed at himself and gave a simple introduction. Then he asked, “Are you really friends of the warriors? I was the first slave they liberated. I am the first one chosen by the warriors, and their most loyal guardian!”
“…Is that so?” Ye Chui felt things were getting stranger and stranger. How exactly did a group of drunk girls manage to gain such loyal subordinates?
He glanced at the mansion and asked, “Are they injured? Are they inside right now? Take me to see them.” As he spoke, Ye Chui prepared to enter the mansion.
However, Bika hurriedly reached out to block him. The other slave guards also stood up warily and positioned themselves in front of the mansion door.
“The warriors fought a battle and are now sleeping inside. They instructed us not to disturb them. No one is allowed to enter until they wake up.” Bika said seriously. “Besides, I do not know who you really are. What if you are people who intend to harm the warriors?”
“…”
Ye Chui was sweating profusely. Did they have to be this loyal?
He explained, “We really are their friends. Their names are Debbie, Guni, and Salome. If you paid any attention to recent events, you should know they were exiled to the Godsin Continent together with us not long ago.”
“So that’s how it is?” Bika showed an expression of sudden realisation. Just when Ye Chui thought he finally believed them, Bika’s tone shifted. “Sorry, I was just released from the arena dungeon. I have heard nothing about recent news.”
Ye Chui: “…”
Then what was with that sudden realisation look just now?
Although Ye Chui’s group was blocked by this group of loyal liberated slaves, knowing that Debbie and the others were safe finally allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief. It was not suitable to clash with Bika and the others right now. They would simply wait until Debbie and the others woke up. In the meantime, they could figure out exactly what had happened here.
However, just as Ye Chui was about to ask Bika more questions, several slaves came running over in panic.
“Lord Bika, it’s bad…”
“What is it?” Bika asked urgently.
“People from the outside world have barged in aggressively. They… they are from the Amethyst Flower fragment world!”
“What, Amethyst Flower!?”
Bika’s body trembled violently.
Ye Chui’s expression showed some confusion. He turned to Cass and asked, “Is this Amethyst Flower world very powerful?”
Cass frowned and nodded. “Amethyst Flower World ranks fifth. It is a god-level world. I heard that Windless City was born in dependence on Amethyst Flower World.”
“Ranked fifth, huh.” Ye Chui looked thoughtful.
Bika glanced at Ye Chui’s group. Hearing the name Amethyst Flower World, they showed some surprise, but there was absolutely no fear on their faces… This made Bika somewhat suspicious. Could these people come from an even more powerful world?
He probed cautiously. “May I ask which fragment world you come from?”
“Stan Town.” Ye Chui replied with a smile.
“Stan Town?” Bika pondered the name and said strangely, “I was imprisoned for too long… I have never heard of Stan Town. What is its ranking?”
“Stan Town was just exiled. It ranks beyond a thousand.” Ye Chui answered.
“Beyond… a thousand?” Bika was clearly shocked.
Ye Chui smiled at Bika. He could see that Bika was deeply afraid of Amethyst Flower World’s arrival. He comforted him. “You stay here and guard. I will deal with those people from Amethyst Flower World.”
He told Ross, Matt, and the others to remain there. Then, taking Green, Cass, Silis, and Resa, he had a slave lead the way to meet the visitors from Amethyst Flower World. Bika looked at Ye Chui’s group with a somewhat strange expression. Did these people not understand what ranking fifth, god-level world, and Amethyst Flower represented? He noticed the weapons they carried seemed somewhat similar to those of the warrior girls. Bika actually believed Ye Chui was indeed a friend of the warriors. Perhaps they really were qualified to confront Amethyst Flower?
Thinking this, Bika immediately followed behind Ye Chui’s group and asked in a low voice, “May I ask how you plan to deal with the people from Amethyst Flower World?”
“Heh heh…”
Ye Chui glanced at Bika, patted the shotgun in his hand, and said one sentence: “Just one word: charge! If they do not accept it, then fight!”
Bika: “…Huh?”
Soon, in a plaza in Windless City, Ye Chui saw the visitor from Amethyst Flower: none other than Niga, with his peerless beauty!
Niga was covering his nose and mouth with a handkerchief. A red carpet had been laid by his attendants under his feet. Amethyst Flower petals continued to drift around him.
When he saw Ye Chui’s group appear, his expression turned icy.
Ye Chui’s expression also became somewhat odd. He asked Cass in a low voice, “Who is this pretty boy?”
“I do not know him, but… I heard that the strongest warrior of Amethyst Flower World, the one who calls himself the most beautiful man in the Godsin Continent, should be him…”
“You are Ye Chui?” At that moment, Niga spoke. His voice was cold as he said, “I originally thought you were not worthy of me remembering your name. But now, congratulations. You have successfully made me remember your name!”
“…” That line was rather pretentious. Ye Chui chuckled. Let me show you some pretentiousness in return. He asked, “Then what is your name?”
“Remember it well. My name is Niga!”
“Ni what?”
“Niga!”
“What ga?”
“Niga!”
“Oh, Nuga. I have remembered your name too!” Ye Chui said with a smile.
Niga: “…”
