As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 493 King Player Game
In the center of Minas City, more than 113,000 people fainted and were being taken back to their nests by Chimera Ants.

The Chimera Ant Army has a clear division of labor except for the king. There are more than one hundred main guards and corps leaders guarding the throne.

The construction ants rebuilt the scene around the throne. The chimerized construction Cairo ants played a very good role, and the new palace was completed in less than half an hour.

The palace where the throne sits is majestic and silent.

There is no superfluous decoration, only the thick nanmu pillars and beams and the exquisitely crafted doors and windows that show the solemnity with the original color of the wood.

The only special thing is the walls, which are covered with wriggling flesh and blood and pipes. Their function is to transport energy to the king.

Everything is created according to the queen ant's aesthetic.

When a queen ant gives birth to a chimera queen ant, some of her memories, hobbies, and aesthetics will more or less influence the "children" she gives birth to.

Now, the supreme masterpiece of her children sits on the throne.

Ant King.

It was born to be the most terrifying one.

However, players do not know whether this strong man of flesh and blood, who was destroyed by the rose poison in "Hunter x Hunter", can adapt to this world.

Ryan and others were afraid that their king would be killed by "humans" like in the original book, so they mobilized all their strength to make the king as "mature" as possible.

There are accidents.

Kam died on the top of the tower. It was the King who pushed Kam's magic back at the critical moment, which killed this troublesome "End" player.

The players of "Endless Corridor" disappeared without a trace.

But there were a lot of bombs around the towers and the city center.

They must have buried it.

What Ryan is most worried about is undoubtedly the champion who almost single-handedly defeated "Death" and "Eternal Life" in the "World War", and later defeated "The End".

They had investigated everything about Li Nuo and knew about his dispute with the high-dimensional demon. They also knew how much Lillian valued him. Anyone that the big shots dared not ignore must also be a big shot. Even if he looked like a down-and-out painter, an artist could stir up the world.

So he turned his attention to Mingnu.

"Expand the scope of exploration."

Naruto, the female demon from Demon Slayer, is very much like Victor is to Marger when next to Ryan.

She has a sound that can change space, releasing a rhythm of exploration that can reach an entire country and even beyond.

However, Mingnu cannot reach space, nor can she handle the area protected by the Realm of Reason.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The players stood numbly under the throne, their faces stiff.

One hour after taking over the city center.

The cat-eared elf Charicos released the power of his [Barrier Fruit], and the "Royal Palace" was covered in an indestructible huge shield that could not be destroyed even by thermal weapons.

"Still can't find it?"

Charicos laughed.

"If it doesn't work, forget it. As long as we don't leave the king, everything else doesn't matter."

"Short-sighted, not leaving the king...but this place is not enough for the king."

Du Jiu said, and then... he paused.

Because Mingnu's mouth corner was bleeding.

The ant nest began to shake.

The hall was affected by a terrifying energy, like a devil's claw grabbing the air and depriving everyone of the ability to breathe.

The king finally came out of his body.

Seeing this, hundreds of Chimera Ants knelt down, and only the four players on the upper level who served as guards knelt on one knee.

No one dared to look at the king's body.

"Don't be nervous... I'm still weak."

Wang's voice was not cold, but gentle.

It looked outside the gate, where there were corpses lying all over the place, perhaps fifty, perhaps a hundred, or even more.

Dried blood was splattered on the brick and stone floor, leaving red and black spots almost everywhere.

The corpse is shriveled, which is the result of having its energy sucked out.

Ryan lowered his head and said, "The construction ants haven't allocated the kitchen yet. The creatures outside are all in this state because the magic bugs of the queen ant have sucked away their energy. Their power will form a magic factor and finally be given to your body. Wisdom, mind, knowledge, everything will merge with you."

"Then, I won't be like that ant king."

Wang's cold voice made all the players present feel nervous.

"You already know that."

"Ah."

The king sat down.

"When the Queen Ant was pregnant with me, she gave me some of her memories."

The original ant king was extremely cruel and emotionless when he was born. Although he learned very quickly, by the time he understood what emotions were, he had already been killed by humans through targeted means.

This ant king doesn't need to learn anything.

Its mother, Meng Zang Jianan, has handed over everything to it.

"Then... the flesh and blood of those elites..." Ryan hesitated to speak. They had prepared many backup plans, such as making the elites the king's food, so that the king would have the ability to think independently when he was born and would not be deceived as a toy.

"It's okay, it's delicious."

The king is trying to comfort his guards, which would never have happened in the original story.

Ryan understood one thing at this moment. When Kam was in the isolated inner world, he was anxious and gave orders to Mingnu over the head in order to force the king to give instructions. Ryan was determined to die at that time. Theoretically, the king would not let such a disobedient guy live, but the king stopped at the moment he was about to kill him.

This king is... gentle?
At this moment, a slim female player wearing a revealing nurse uniform asked softly, "Can I treat you?"

"Oh, I am indeed feeling unwell..." Wang paused and said, "But forget it. These nutrient delivery tubes you made are enough, and my body's self-healing ability is very good, so there is no need to worry."

Having said this, Wang paused again.

"Is the title of "朕"... not good? I guess I can be it."

No one dared to say anything.

"My body craves for a kind of power... What a strange feeling."

"You can try to use your abilities now, such as magic." Ryan said.

"No, I mean things in the spiritual realm." Wang said, "I saw a lot of things when I was in the queen ant's body..."

"Movies and TV."

"game."

"history."

"science."

"magic."

"Also, players."

The Chimera Ants said nothing, and the players felt a chill down their spines.

"Death Corridor?"

"..."

"The Corridor of the End..."

"king……"

"Wait until I finish."

The king interrupted his guards' words. Still no one dared to look at it, but the indifference that knew everything was even more terrifying.

"Let me ask you a question first. What do you think of the queen ant?"

The king pointed at Ryan. He didn't say anything, but the breath he emitted let Ryan know that he had been turned over.

"The queen ant... is the creature that gave birth to you."

"But the queen ant is a player."

The king made a groaning sound as it packed up the memories in its brain.

"You guys know my weakness after I was born, so how could the woman who was pregnant with me not know that?"

The king paused.

"Meng Zang Jianan, this is the name..."

Then it tells it all.

"[Seducer] Meng Zang Jianan, a woman with evil intentions. She is an excellent hypnotist. She created an illusion for Kam. Kam thought that the peeling power of the other world was his own ability. In fact, it was something Meng Zang Jianan gave him. Her purpose was to put pressure on me."

"I don't understand." The person who interrupted Wang was Du Juan, a woman of extraordinary strength who was fearless.

"Very good, I am satisfied with your doubts."

The king did not blame her, but praised her and gave an answer.

"If I can't even take care of a Kamu, how can I be called 'king'?"

It points out a truth.

"The gap between organisms is not as huge as we imagined, but barriers are the basic elements for shaping advanced organisms. Guess what Meng Zang Jianan's purpose is in doing this?"

Ryan said, "To protect you."

"Very good, the angle is strange, but it's correct."

The king approved.

"After all, a wild child is not a baby boy. There are many eyes staring at me outside. That woman is right and does the right thing. If the dilemma Kam gave me is not resolved, even if I survive by chance, the 'humans' who are eyeing me will still send me to hell. There is really no need for me to exist."

Cam was indeed deceived.

The connection between him and Meng Zang Jianan is not as close as he imagined. The horror of [The Charmer] lies in creating a non-existent relationship for you.

She once gave Cam a tool that could contain Chimera Ants.

That tool later became a skill to separate the otherworld from reality.

But Cam had no idea.

He knows nothing.

Meng Zang Jianan hopes that the Ant King will inherit Kam's name, because Kam will be the first life form to give the Ant King trouble, and this name has commemorative significance.

But this king doesn't care what he is called.

All the players were stunned after hearing this.

If Meng Zang Jianan had any purpose in asking Kam to cause trouble for Wang, outsiders would only look at the surface at most.

1. Test the quality of the king.

Second, see clearly the loyalty of the guards.

what else……

What is the root cause...

"maternal love."

Wang knew their doubts and gave them the answer directly.

"Well, that's her love for me as a child."

Some people couldn't help but look up.

This thing...can it be called maternal love?

"Ryan, let me ask you, how many corridors are your players divided into?"

"Five." "Which one is the most powerful?"

"The end."

“Why is it so great?”

"madman."

"What is a madman?"

Wang's question was pointed.

It gives the answer itself.

"People who draw scars on their faces, people with madness in their eyes, people who massacre thousands of innocent lives, it seems that in those memories, these people are called lunatics... But that's not right, this is just a way of expression for your entertainment carriers, right?"

"Madness should be for a purpose. The purpose is the root of madness. That woman just wanted to give birth to a perfect 'king'. She would rather let outsiders kill her 'king' than die herself. Thoughts determine madness, and actions determine the bottom line."

When the king said these words, all the players understood that what they were facing was not the Ant King they had imagined.

The "Death Corridor" does not play the role of a guard.

Everything Ryan and the others are facing now is just the whim of a woman in the "End Corridor".

Everything the king has is just a wish of the "End" players.

If everything goes smoothly, this king will be supreme, but the appearance of Shao Hong disrupts everything, and the unexpectedness of the "Endless Corridor" causes the plan to fail prematurely.

"I wonder if there is a destiny or something holding me in its grasp..."

The king was thinking.

It knew that no one could work with it, so it just thought about it and put it out of its mind.

"Tell me about the current situation outside."

The cat elf Charicos said: "My ability can isolate the external thermal weapons. Even if something overly powerful appears, Mingnu will open up the space and create another 'other world' and everything will be safe. In addition, this city itself is a no-man's land, so no one should care about what happens here."

Ryan reminded: "It has been an hour since we occupied the central area, and there has been no action from the outside world. I suspect the reason why the queen ant appeared here is because there is a 'business' or 'politics' behind it. Please recover your strength as soon as possible so that we can completely take over this place."

"So, who are the enemies and where are they?" Wang asked.

Mingnu: "Can't find it..."

"Yeah……"

Everyone could hear Wang take a deep breath.

Then, a huge breath rose into the sky like a tsunami.

That is a detection capability dozens of times greater than Mingnu's. The king's power is unfathomable.

"There are several in space."

Wang noticed the location of Li Nuo and Maljie.

"There are a few others that are protected by something, and I can't penetrate that thing either."

The king is powerless against the [Realm of Reason] of the fantasy world.

"What are you?" Ryan asked a question that made everyone gasp. He continued, "Are you the Ant King or a 'player'?"

"Good question..." Wang began to ponder: "According to the memories given by the ant queen, I cannot know what a player is... Otherwise I will be punished. I see... I am going to die soon."

Everyone: “……!”

Wang: "Don't be surprised, it's a normal phenomenon. I know things that I shouldn't know, which means there are loopholes in my existence. There will definitely be a big hand of fate to adjust the direction. Fate will wipe me out because of my unreasonableness. My only way out is to make myself rational. So... I understand, let's use your way."

At this moment, Wang withdrew all his breath.

"Make a game, just like the script you are facing. If I am the initiator of the script, my existence is reasonable."

"What, a game?" Ryan asked.

Wang was in no hurry to give an answer.

"Mingnu, can you create an alternate dimension so that this city can be changed?"

Naruto nodded.

"Infinite City."

"very good."

Wang thought about it, and activated his breath again to detect the power of the "Endless Corridor".

"Ryan, what do you think is your chance of winning against the less than ten people on the other side, with more than a hundred of you?"

Ryan: "Fifty-fifty."

"Four to six." Wang said, "Four of you."

As soon as the words fell, all the players present felt a kind of power bursting out of themselves.

"It's fifty-fifty now."

The king gave them power in a way that no one knew.

"Don't worry, I'm not that strong. If all of you rush at me, there's a high chance you can kill me. But what I'm really worried about is you. Your strength will affect the fun of the game."

"I am extremely weak now. If you can reduce the opponent's strength, I can survive. Otherwise, I will die."

"But you still have a fatal problem. As a guard, you know that I have health problems and will not leave. So I am issuing an order as your king. Please finish this game, go outside and kill those guys."

Ryan understood now that the king knew everything. He knew that there were people outside eyeing them covetously. As guards, they were in a dilemma, but the king gave the causes and solutions to all the crises, so they could give it a try.

"To ensure fairness and to protect you, Naruto, once everyone leaves, we will create what you call the 'Infinite City'."

Mingnu: "Yes."

"Okay, everybody, now look up and look at me."

The king gave the order in a gentle but authoritative tone.

Everyone looked up.

They saw the king in his true form.

It has a handsome face with human facial features.

But on the face, there are four eyes.

The pupil is a cat's eye.

Zhang has a cat's tail, the end of the tail has lost its fur and is a steel needle.

The body has insect-like splicing, but it is not obvious.

What's more special is that its body is surrounded by tiny magic particles and the magic power of "marsh gas", and it can create explosions by just raising its hand.

This is the king.

It's different from what everyone imagined.

"Let me think, what is the name of this game..."

Wang curled his lips.

"I can't leave here due to my health, so I'm here to protect the house... You guys need to go out and fight the enemy..."

At this moment, Wang's eyes suddenly became clear.

"This routine is very similar to the story of a hero invading a demon city. They are few in number and play the role of heroes. You are many in number and are my guards. We have occupied this place from the beginning and are the invading party. Are we the Demon King's army?"

Wang shook his head.

"The title of Demon King is weird. I am a Chimera Ant."

When it saw that everyone was afraid of it, it thought of the answer.

"Let's call him 'Evil God'. The evil god of ants."

Du Juan said: "But... the evil god is most likely doomed to fail..."

Wang: "Didn't I say that my presence is doomed to failure? I don't care about these. The title is not important. What matters is whether I can find the key to breaking through during this period."

The hall fell silent.

when~
The Mingnu plucked the strings of the zither.

"Then let's do as Lord Evil God said. Please protect me. I will start building the city from now on."

The Infinite City created by Mingnu has a map, which will be imprinted in the minds of players in the same camp as her.

Ryan stood up first.

Everyone followed him up one by one, without saying a word, leaving only two players guarding outside the king's house. Everyone left, and they found the direction they should go based on their own experience.

In the spacious hall.

The ant king sat back on his throne and used his tail to connect the energy-transmitting tube to the wound on his body.

"grown ups."

Mingnu called out from the side.

"Well, please speak."

"Please stay alive."

The king was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and looked upward, as if he wanted to grasp the invisible hand of fate in the depths of his pupils.

"Hmph...Okay."

Mingnu plucked the strings again.

When——!
With the city center as the axis, the city is transformed within a radius of ten kilometers.

……

[Border Prison Script Changes]

【Clean up the virus source, Wang】

[Task remaining time: 1 days]

[Mission details: Overthrow "Infinite City"]

……

Outskirts of the city.

It was dark.

In the air, Emil's sales cart fell from above, and the moment it hit the ground, the cushion popped out.

The car flipped several times and landed smoothly.

A strong wind blew.

In the circle formed by the [Realm of Reason], the players of the "Endless Corridor" are waiting here.

Nanami turned her head, her long brown hair covering half of her face in the wind, and the light curtain of the Infinite City behind her cast a layer of light on the outline of her cheeks.

She looked at the two people getting out of the car and smiled with dimples.

"Everyone is here."

Just as he finished speaking, a spherical cabin fell from the sky.

It hit Li Nuo and Maljie exactly.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose up.

The leader and the warrior of light were knocked flying backwards, and they both hit a big rock, looking like they were about to die.

Everyone, including Nanami, stared at each other in astonishment.

The door of the spherical cabin opened.

Die, Victor, and the Battle Succubus walked out of the cabin.

Die looked around, nodded and smiled.

"Well, everyone is here!"
