Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Rushing Killer, Chiyo Eine’s Preparation

This was Lu Ce’s true intention.

Ever since he heard Xie Antong say that this thing had no will of its own and attacked players based on the will and accusations of Tokyo’s citizens—

He felt like the loophole in that was just way too obvious.

Maybe it was Greed’s influence, but he had a sharp instinct for this kind of thing.

At the start, when players were still scattered everywhere, as long as civilians pointed them out, the Hunters could be dispatched freely.

And with so many players, Hunters could just randomly go after any nearby accused player.

But as the number of players dwindled, and attention focused on top players, the system handling Hunter priority would inevitably get stuck—

Especially now, with two of the most obvious players never bothering to hide, the Hunters didn’t even know which one to deal with first.

In extreme cases, you’d get them stuck in a loop, shaking their heads back and forth.

No need to fight head-on. He joined the Game for benefits—why take on that much risk?

But as it stood now, Sun was clearly the more prominent threat.

A Sun in the night sky was impossible to ignore. On that massive fireball, fiery dragons were now spiraling out, circling around and attacking anything that came close.

The only problem—he couldn’t move anymore. He had become the biggest signal tower in all of Tokyo.

“Right now, if you look toward the tall building to the west...”

Xie Antong’s voice came through Lu Ce’s earpiece. She was pushing her brain to the limit—juggling her fight with Chiyo Eine while keeping tabs on the whole battlefield.

But this time, there was no reply. On the other end, only manic laughter.

Xie Antong: ......

D*mn. Looks like this guy’s beyond conversation right now.

“Seems like your command’s not going so well. That’s what terrifies those who try to control the board.”

Chiyo Eine spoke up from the side.

“It’s fine. Smaller the power, smaller the responsibility. Doesn’t have much to do with me. I’m sure he knows his own condition.”

Chiyo Eine: ?

She felt like she couldn’t wait any longer. Glancing at Sun in the distance, she figured she’d better head there first.

She almost broke away immediately, but the moment she turned—

A wave of death surged over her, forcing her to transform into Black Water.

In an instant, a bullet tore through the head of her Black Water form.

“Everyone has their own battlefield. Don’t get distracted.”

Chiyo Eine turned back, her gaze slowly filling with murderous madness.

Meanwhile, Lu Ce—completely mentally unhinged—wasn’t sticking to any script.

He was acting on the base emotion of Greed, ignoring what was close and instead amplifying his own influence.

Sun’s Merciless Scorching Sun had already devoured several Divine Creations.

Those red things charged right into the fireball—and never came back out.

Maybe they were setting up shop in there. After a while, the sound of Hunter elimination would echo out.

Lu Ce’s form turned into a wisp of black smoke, moving through the buildings with unimaginable speed.

Even after Overload, his speed looked absurd. It was so fast it actually damaged his ridiculously reinforced body.

Elsewhere, floating above the Black Knight, the Confessions of the Disillusioned soared across the entire city.

An unmounted Black Knight was the real deal—like a wild stallion spreading the book’s shadow to every corner.

Lu Ce’s mindset now was very simple—steal people!

Or rather—steal attention!

In Tokyo, madness was the easiest thing to tap into. People were already mad. The city had turned into a Game, everyone was partying under the influence of supernatural power—how could they not be insane?

Under these conditions, Chaos Trigger felt like it was right at home.

Madmen naturally look to where the madness begins.

In just a short time, most Divine Creations went nuts.

They just stood still—then started shaking their heads.

It looked comical, but it was clearly painful for them. Wails echoed everywhere.

Then, Lu Ce began the slaughter.

These enemies, already mentally scrambled and stripped of their instinctive combat ability by Lu Ce, were just empty husks.

And husks? They’re just target practice.

In this state, it was just the blue laughter slashing through—Divine Creations’ heads spinning off their necks.

Lu Ce even rammed into a few, just to rack up some Pain Points.

Greed really was exhausting.

Chiyo Eine had once said: a team where everyone schemes against each other—a team where everyone works only for their own gain—how could that team possibly win?

But “Sin” and “Sun” had answered with action:

As long as everyone was strong enough.

Now, on a dimly lit street, Chiyo Eine’s face turned increasingly grim.

Across from her, Xie Antong was gasping for breath, blood dripping silently from her fingertips.

She looked a bit beat up.

But Chiyo Eine was still stuck here!

In this unnoticed corner, the two of them were like chess masters, watching every piece move across the board.

Except Xie Antong didn’t see herself as a master.

The real players had already jumped onto the board to fight. She was just there to mess with the opponent’s plans.

But Chiyo Eine—she was a true chessmaster.

“This isn’t good... they really did break through...”

She looked up, frowning slightly.

“Your mood’s off. What, can’t even smile anymore?”

“Amazing. So, you figured out I’ve still got cards left to play, huh?”

Xie Antong: ?

Honestly, she was just hitting burnout mode. The emo vibes were coming in fast.

“You know what it means to have home field advantage?”

“For you all, this Game only started a few hours ago.”

“But for me—this Game began three days ago!”

As her words dropped, Chiyo Eine’s face turned pale. Her vitality looked like it dropped by more than half in an instant. She wobbled where she stood.

At the same time, across all of Tokyo—

From every corner, Black Water began to ripple.

As if something inside...

Was starting to force its way out.
