Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"what?!"

The [Dragon of Light and Darkness] behind him was picking at the dust between his fingernails out of boredom. He looked at the World Tree which was getting very close, and with a distorted expression, he shouted at the person who was blocking his way, "What do you mean I can't pass through here?"

Perhaps it was because the others who were using mounts for transportation were able to successfully pass through the sky, the earth, the water, the forest, and the girl's skirt (crossed out) to approach the World Tree which had been shortened a considerable distance, but only Manzhangmu was intercepted by this inexplicable guy in front of him.

Just now he was flying in the air on the [Dragon of Light and Darkness], but suddenly he was knocked down from the sky by this big guy in a cloak. If the [Dragon of Light and Darkness] had not been strong enough to catch him in the air, he would have been killed by the fall.

Even though he remembered that this was not the real world but a virtual world, Manzhangmu was still very angry at the sudden attack and was about to get angry at the other party, but unexpectedly the other party told Manzhangmu coldly that the road ahead was prohibited.

"I hate to say the same thing twice to the same person, because if a sentence needs to be said twice for the person to understand, it means that the other person is not very smart. Please don't make me say it a second time." The man in the cloak seemed very polite, but the tone he used was quite cold. "In order to maintain the current stability of the Nine Realms, no living creature is allowed to approach the place where the King of the Courtyard sleeps. This is an absolute mission issued by our king."

"We won't allow any living creature to get close to us? Then what are they?" Wan Zhangmu pointed at the other students who were riding large and small mounts in the sky and flew through the airspace, and said unhappily, "They can get through but I can't? Today I want to see who can stop me!"

As he said that, Manzhangmu rolled up his sleeves and was about to take out his deck and summon some monsters to support him.

The cloaked guy didn't pay attention to Wanzhangmu's threat. He just glanced behind him coldly and said, "I am just one of the king's attendants. I am only responsible for intercepting those who are more powerful than other soldiers. Those people are not under my control."

"Other soldiers?" Wan Zhang was stunned and looked up at the sky again, but saw that almost in an instant, countless golden rays of light flew up from the ground and passed through the mounts of those people in the sky and even themselves. Nearly one-tenth of the large group of people just now were cleared out in an instant, and the flying rays of light made a sharp angle and began to harvest the rest of the people.

Not only in the sky, the golden rays of light also swooped down into the forest, knocking down the trees blocking the way, as if hunting down those who took the land route. The same was true in the river not far away. Manzhangmu saw with his own eyes that a student from the Obelisk-Blue dormitory who was riding on a [Seahorsemon] had his body smashed directly into pieces by the rays of light and disappeared without any pain.

Because the target had been smashed, the golden light slowed down slightly, and the Thousand-foot Eyes could see the true body of the light. It turned out to be an "Angel Knight" holding a long sword and a tower shield as tall as his body, fully armed from head to toe, and with beautiful golden wings on his back! ?

Asuka, who was riding on the Ancient Saint Dai-Shi Long, was not chosen as the target of attack at the first time because she was carrying three people and started a step later than the main group. However, she still felt a chill when she saw her classmates being "slaughtered" and subconsciously became angry about the "death" of her classmates.

There was no time to comfort the panicked Baihui and Junko. She stood on one of the claws of [Ancient Saint Dai - Shilong], summoned the next-generation duel disk on her left arm, and immediately summoned her strongest [Cyber ​​Angel] - [Cyber ​​Angel - Mijuru -] to guard in front of her to guard against possible attacks at any time.

However, unexpectedly, a boy from the Sun God-Yellow dormitory who was being carried by [Molinfen] to escape was "killed" by golden light less than ten meters away from Asuka, but the "Angel Knight" just glanced at Asuka and the others, with no intention of taking action at all, and just hovered quietly in the air.

Asuka, who had no idea what the other party meant, was on guard and was about to continue moving forward under the protection of [Cyber ​​Angel - Mijuru-]. However, unexpectedly, the [Ancient Saint Dai - Shilong] under her just moved a little, and the "Angel Knight" immediately raised the long sword in his right hand and pointed it at Asuka, as if the other party would attack if she moved again.

Frowning, Asuka tried to get Ancient Saint Dai-Shi Long to retreat a little. As she expected, the Angel Knight also lowered his sword a little as Ancient Saint Dai-Shi Long did, and then raised his sword synchronously when Ancient Saint Dai-Shi Long tried to approach again.

"Those 'soldiers' will only attack enemies that enter the designated range?" Manjomu retracted his gaze from the sky and was about to continue, "But I, Master Manjomu, am different from other small fry. As for me——"

  He suddenly stopped talking, of course he had a purpose. After all, who could remain calm when they found themselves being pointed at by a dozen knives?

The man who stopped Wanzhangmu casually lifted his cloak, revealing the same armor as those of the "Angel Knights", but with more sophisticated details and many gorgeous decorations. He slowly raised his sword and surrounded Wanzhangmu with other soldiers and said, "If anyone insists on breaking in, we will risk our lives to let the other party experience the sharpness of the sword in our hands."

"What did you want to say just now?"

He turned his head stiffly to avoid disturbing these dangerous guys with his big movements. He glanced behind him and was about to ask for help from the [Dragon of Light and Darkness], but he found that she was also surrounded by a dozen "angel soldiers". Although they might not be able to stop her, at least they could prevent Manzhangmu from getting rescue from the [Dragon of Light and Darkness] in the first time.

"——I just said that, but I, Master Wanzhangmu, am different from other small fish. I know very well what it means to be a gentleman who does not stand under a dangerous wall." Sweeping away his previous arrogance, Wanzhangmu said seriously, "There is an old saying that goes, 'Western materialism is a waste of time.' Of course, I will not enter such a dangerous place."

"Is it okay for me to take a detour?"

Although it was frustrating not being able to pass directly through the area ahead, it didn't matter much to Manjome taking a longer route. Not only because even if he was a little slower, he was still much faster than Judai who was still walking slowly behind him, but more importantly, taking a longer route was not tiring - after all, it was the [Dragon of Light and Darkness] who was traveling, not himself.

Just as Manzhangmu was thinking this, he heard the "Angel Knight" who seemed to be the leader who stopped him say: "The King of the Courtyard is sleeping in the entire Courtyard Midgard, and the area around the World Tree is a forbidden area. Even if you take a detour, you can't find a place to get past us and get close to the World Tree."

"Huh? So according to you, it's impossible for me to reach the World Tree?" Even though he was pointed at with a knife, Manjomu couldn't help but get angry. "What kind of king is so great that he can't let anyone wake him up even when he falls asleep? What if I have to try?"

Hearing what Manjōme said, the Knight Commander pointed to the distance and asked Manjōme, "Can you see that place?"

Glancing at the direction the other person was pointing, Wanzhangmu said contemptuously: "Such a long row of mountains, if I can't see it, wouldn't I be blind?"

"That is part of the body of the sleeping Lord of Midgard." The Knight Commander said seriously, "Theoretically, after digging through the mountain, you can see the real body of the Lord of Midgard buried deep underground, and then try to attack the body that is as strong as the world to wake it up. But the prerequisite is that you must be able to penetrate the scales that are strong enough to block Thor's hammer and the skin that is as thick as the earth to hurt its real flesh and blood."

".Actually, I just said it casually. I also hate people who wake me up for no reason." Wanzhangmu decisively gave up his previous idea and complained, "What kind of thing is so powerful, with such a big body and scales?"

He didn't expect that the cold, mechanical-looking angel knight in front of him would answer him, but he didn't expect that the other party actually spoke out the answer: "King Jörmungandr."

"Wait a minute, who? Jörmungandr?" Wanzhangmu asked again uncertainly, "The mid-world python in Norse mythology?"

The Knight Commander's cold gaze answered Wanzhang's purpose. Apparently, as he had said before, he would not say the same thing to the same person twice.

"I wanted to complain when I saw the World Tree before, and now even Jörmungandr has shown up? Judai will definitely be very excited when he knows about this. After all, isn't this the background of the 'heroic epic' he has always dreamed of?" Manjomu said, frowning in distress.

No wonder the journey was so smooth, there were no special restrictions or special events, it turned out that they were waiting here for the first group of people to arrive. The problem now was that this group of "Angel Knights" stopped everyone from entering the location of Jörmungandr, who was called the "King of the Courtyard" for some reason, but after entering this virtual world, the first and only mission and guidance they received was to go to the location of the World Tree.

Is it possible that the only way is to fight our way through?

Just when Manzhangmu was worried, the Knight Commander suddenly said, "If you want to reach the World Tree, you don't have to go directly from the atrium, because the Nine Realms are connected, and you can also reach the World Tree from other worlds." "That sounds great. I can't even get through your blockade, and now you're letting us go to other worlds, huh?"

Asuka, who had descended from the sky, heard Manjomu's sarcastic tone clearly. She did not continue to confront the soldiers in the sky. After catching a glimpse of Manjomu being surrounded, she immediately chose to come to the ground to see if Manjomu needed support.

"Other worlds? What do you mean?"

"This virtual world seems to be based on Norse mythology. I originally thought that it only restored the World Tree, but I didn't expect that it restored everything like Jörmungandr and the Nine Realms." Seeing Asuka coming, Manjomu also complained, "This guy said that the front is where Jörmungandr sleeps and we are not allowed to enter, but we can go to the World Tree from other worlds."

"I don't even know where the end of the universe is, how can I know how to go to other worlds?"

The Knight Commander took Wanzhang's complaint to heart, but he tilted his head. His facial expression could not be seen because of the helmet, but his movement was enough to reveal his confusion: "But, there is a teleportation rune array that can lead to the Nine Realms in the direction you came from. Could it be that you didn't walk on the ground at all, but took a shortcut through the sky?"

"Taking a shortcut is actually taking a long detour."

At the same time, the students who were killed by the "Angel Knights" and forgot that this was a virtual world and thought they were really dead felt gravity restraining their bodies again and their feet felt the ground. They subconsciously opened their eyes and looked around blankly.

A student from the Red Dormitory was jumping up and down, looking at the large group of people who appeared in front of the exit of the duel venue that had long been empty, and asked in confusion: "Huh? I remember you had left before, why are you here again?"

  "This." Standing at the front of the crowd was the boy from the Obelisk-Blue dormitory who had previously mocked the others after summoning [Molinfen]. Could he say that he was flying in the sky and was inexplicably hit to death by a beam of light? That would be too embarrassing!

"I-I thought it was boring to travel on a Duel Monster, so I flew back and planned to walk over there."

"Yes, yes, we all think so." Several other students from the Blue Dormitory who were his neighbors also quickly echoed.

"It's safer to walk on solid ground." "I think so too."

The student from the Red Dormitory who was not killed directly by the golden light but fell to the ground and died, and the student from the Blue Dormitory who was equally lucky enough not to be killed together with the [Lion Wizard] he summoned but drowned because he fell into the river and could not swim, now transcended their different dormitory classes and had a common language.

"Zhongbang, why are you still here and what are you doing?" A student who recognized the boy from the Red Dormitory cooperated with others to change the subject and not focus on why they were here, in order to divert the attention of the boy named Zhongbang.

"Oh, because I'm just not that interested in the competition, and it just so happens that classmate Size asked us to help test the data, so we just stayed here to help." As he said that, Zhongbang turned his head and said, "Xidenori, Jizhu! Are you ready over there?"

"I'm ready here." The man with glasses pushed his glasses and said.

Huang Mao Ji Zhu also responded: "I've done it too, classmate Qizhe!"

"It's Misawa!" Misawa corrected angrily while standing in front of an operating table, then covered his cheeks. "Forget it, there's no need to argue about this. It's more important to test my calculation results now."

“Basic framework, explained”

"Gravity parameters, substitute"

"Operating system, start"

"Energy charged, ready"

"The whole project is completed——"

As Misawa pushed the joystick, a huge tarpaulin covering something behind him was lifted up, and a huge robot slowly stood up in front of everyone and stood on the ground!

"Ada thief! It's going pretty smoothly. I've successfully made a large robot in this world!"

Along with Misawa's excited cheers, others complained: "Shun Li's head, that's clearly a Gundam! Be careful not to be sued for copyright infringement!"

"There's nothing there, so how did this guy manage to create a Gundam in this world?"

"Are all the top students in Huang's dormitory monsters?"

"We were able to build a Gundam in such a short time since we left? I can't even imagine what he could come up with in a day!"

"It's a fun toy, isn't it?"

A female voice suddenly sounded. Others turned their heads in confusion to see who made this strange voice, but they saw a lady in an elegant long dress walking towards them from a distance, with long hair that was as brilliant as a treasure in the world fluttering in the wind.

However, what attracted the boys' attention more than the beautiful women was the mechanical giant with an eye-catching huge size!

"Armor defense: weak; power transmission: weak; structural strength: weak; control level: weak." A mechanical synthesized voice came from the limbs of the giant metal creature. "Voting result: 90% voting rate, useless machinery."

"Conclusion: immediate destruction."

The mechanical giant reached out to grab the back, pulled out a huge hammer, and in the eyes of all the boys who were sad and heartbroken, he swung the hammer and smashed Misawa's "Gundam"! (End of this chapter)
