I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#771 - arrange
"Who said there have to be rules?" Acheng said, sitting on the base, his expression blank.
"The first phase... it doesn't matter if there are no rules, everyone's just here for the excitement..."
"But in the second phase, there will be certain rules about who fights who. If you want more slaughter and desire, of course, you have to start with the rules and the opponents..."
"A free-for-all is fine, but we also need to keep the possibility of life-and-death battles and one-on-one duels, that way it's more fun..."
Li Yue was modifying the battle table, while the Dice of Destiny circled nearby, providing random number support.
Eventually, this table would be slammed into the arena's candlelight by Acheng, giving it a huge bias when matching opponents outside of the second phase's free-for-all.
Basically, it's equivalent to official cheating, a forced arrangement, ultimately leading to the list of 16 contestants participating in the third phase.
This was the new task that the Dice of Destiny had specially summoned Li Yue back to fulfill.
Li Yue had just stepped into the entrance of the Drizzle Corridor, watching the giant bone chariot start up and travel far away, intending to catch up, when he was called back by Akka, who was guarding Demon King City.
After relaying the Dice of Destiny's request, Li Yue felt that it was indeed better to get this done as soon as possible.
"The line of the Centennial Slaughter Cup, the line of the North, and the line of the World are all intertwined!" The Dice of Destiny swung wildly in the sky.
At the same time, Akka, Norellmore, and Spade's names also faded, and it seemed that they had some support, so we might not be able to advance to the seventh stage so safely.
"Coin and Ganna?" Li Yue finally remembered reading about those two small families in the books he had read in the library.
"Oh, they're busy, you continue practicing..." Acheng drove the candlelight, carrying the underground soil, and lifted eyeballs to various angles in the air.
Thinking about it, Li Yue went to erase the doors next to him, and erased them as well.
"Which one you arranged is important, which one is okay, we can't retreat to the eighth stage..." Li Yue pointed to Lulu Feifei's name on the ground, and then erased it with Shadow.
Did I change their fate?
"What do you mean?"
Li Yue and the Dice of Destiny hurriedly lifted the piece of ground covered with names and moved away, to prevent it from being destroyed by Acheng.
If it concerns the eight great families, it must also concern the Empire...
"Whether those two contestants have anything to do with him, he doesn't even know who they are, he can't control them." The Dice of Destiny spun faster.
"Does the North refer to the Snow Country or the Empire?"
It is indeed necessary to arrange matches to obtain more slaughter desire—but that is the seventh stage, and it is already preparing to select a new King of the Arena for the final stage.
"No!" At this moment, the Dice of Destiny suddenly changed its dice face continuously, as if something unexpected had happened.
Li Yue tried to erase again, but he couldn't erase the two names with the gold coin emblem and the musket emblem.
"You and Norellmore and Spade, you all come from the library, I know that." The Dice of Destiny turned into a snake eye, "Since you've already cooperated, there's no need to hide it."
"This is only the first stage of the battle, anyway, it's a free-for-all. As long as the live broadcast is properly scheduled, and enough key people die, the slaughter desire will definitely be enough," Li Yue comforted Acheng, "If you follow what I said and aim the eyeballs at ordinary places, you will definitely succeed."
Li Yue also thought it was true, this dice has never been able to see his own destiny clearly, there is no need to over-entangle in this matter, just carefully observe his status bar, in case there is some inexplicable bad luck.
Fate is like a pot of porridge, if you want to remove a certain ingredient, it will always change the taste.
"Will there be a lot of slaughter desire?" Acheng was only interested in this one thing.
"You don't know? These are the family crests of the great families of the Empire, the Coin family and the Ganna family," the Dice of Destiny said of their origins.
This made the Dice of Destiny and Shadow look forward to the battle that was about to take place here.
Kang Yuan always felt like he had seen them somewhere, but he was very sure that the gold coins did not represent the Demon King City's treasury—the treasury's emblem was a vault door.
"Have you decided then? Who has entered the seventh stage?" Acheng waited impatiently.
"Are you saying that fate told you that these people would enter the eighth stage?" Li Yue raised his head and asked the Dice of Destiny.
"Hey, hey, hey, come back, tell you, what does this mean?" Kang Yuan called to the Dice of Destiny, who was staring at the changes in the arena with snake eyes, and pointed with his shadow to the emblems behind the two unfamiliar names.
One manages all the assets of the Empire, and the other produces weapons and guns...
The handwriting changed, changing to an unfamiliar name, and behind the name was a musket emblem.
The key is the personnel arrangements for the seventh and eighth stages.
Li Yue waited quietly beside him, waiting for it to finish reading.
This process saves the scheduling and manipulation in the arena, and can also save some magic potions that are about to be used.
Moreover, what's interesting is that in the process of modifying the list, Li Yue discovered some very wonderful phenomena.
Li Yue did indeed just make a decision, when the first stage was about to begin, to tell his younger siblings to withdraw from the competition—just participate in the Slaughter Cup for fun, it would be too dangerous to advance to the front.
If necessary, even call Acheng to directly provide magic power support...
Especially since the dominoes have already spread, the next Centennial Slaughter Cup will be very chaotic, and it is necessary to have a judgment in advance.
What replaced it was still an unfamiliar name, followed by the gold coin emblem.
Are they also participating in the Centennial Slaughter Cup?
The priority of slaughter desire is not so high, it is key to let Akka win.
Lines connected and flowed between lines, the Dice of Destiny sensed the flow inside and outside.
"Of course, it was changed according to what was more..." Li Yue lied.
Acheng itself controls Demon King City, and is of course happy to cooperate when it comes to harvesting slaughter desire.
The wasteland seemed to become Acheng's tentacles, and also turned the entire arena into a maze.
"You didn't understand! The North is not important! What's important is the World!" The Dice of Destiny wrapped around the ball of yarn and landed with a bang.
Just now, Li Yue had rehearsed the live broadcast process of the Slaughter Cup with Acheng, grafting Xin Xin's signal onto Acheng's body through the Staff of Deception, and then Acheng controlled the eyeballs to broadcast it.
Li Yue suddenly realized that doing so might expose his close relationship with the library, and decisively stopped erasing the words for the time being, but decided to call the Seven Great Generals, Galarick, and the others to withdraw from the competition later.
"What's wrong?"
"You can control our fate! How magical!" The Dice of Destiny slid to Li Yue's side.
"Of course, which contestant did you arrange?" The Dice of Destiny pointed to the name "Van Helsing" on the ground, "This one?"
"Things have gotten big!" The Dice of Destiny scurried to the World, pulling countless lines, like a bizarre firework launched into the sky.
Although Li Yue didn't quite understand what the Dice of Destiny was saying, he knew that some kind of change had caused a chain reaction, and the Centennial Slaughter Cup was involving more fate.
"No, no, no..." The Dice of Destiny poked countless lines of fate out of the dice hole, turned over and stirred, and entangled into a giant spinning machine.
"There are still 3 days until the next one, are these things you gave me useful?" Acheng said, spitting out hundreds of dominoes from his mouth, which scattered across the wasteland with a clatter.
The names of 16 contestants were drawn on the ground, the handwriting was a little blurry, and it often changed.
As soon as Li Yue thought this way, Galarick's name on the ground suddenly disappeared, replaced by a new person.
