The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 828 - 510: The Will to Survive

The environment fell into silence.

Did I come too early? Kana was slightly perplexed.

At some point in the future, will this Giant Dragon obtain the fragment it desires?

No, the situation I am experiencing now is the same as the game's future.

If such an event of being swept into the Space-Time Illusion Realm hadn't occurred, Kana would definitely believe the words of the Giant Dragon before him.

But the problem is that such a thing did occur, and the resulting consequences align with the dungeon I fought through in the game.

This Giant Dragon and its undead have been trapped within this time illusion until the end.

Could it be that someone else brought the fragment and was absorbed into this illusion realm in the future?

It shouldn't be.

After the illusion realm appears, it will gradually stabilize, making it difficult to enter, unless intentionally.

If it were sealed by an existence like the Child of the World, it would be even more difficult to enter.

This is rather troublesome.

For safety's sake, even if it might be offensive, Kana must search its soul.

This is the soul of a Demigod, which will undoubtedly take him a lot of time and effort.

If no results can be obtained, then perhaps the last resort must be used, using a stone to locate a stone.

And it would only point in a vague direction.

A one-to-one exchange, where the one might not be obtained, involves both time and manpower costs.

"Wait, the fragment you want should be this one."

The skeleton that came up with Raelia and the others stepped forward and said, as it flipped its hand, a fragment appeared there. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Clearly, this skeleton was not simple, just like the previous fragment, it had the ability to conceal the fragment, preventing external detection.

Kana only needed to glance at it to verify that this was indeed the last missing fragment.

He looked at the skeleton, then at the Giant Dragon.

"So, you're the one who caused this disturbance, right? You used some method to trigger a ripple in the river of time and opened this rift, constructing this illusion realm to avoid confronting this undead dragon."

But such evasion wouldn't last forever; one day he would eventually be captured, and the fragment in his hand would become part of the undead dragon's collection, later dropped by a Player in the dungeon.

Perhaps he thought to trap the Giant Dragon here to negotiate and find a chance to escape.

But considering the situation now, a place where he can hide forever might suit his expectations better.

In that case, it seems reasonable.

The skeleton nodded and explained, "I didn't mean to do so, it's just that if I didn't act then, this damned dragon would have killed me.

I apologize for getting you involved."

"Hehe, you seem quite polite," Raelia mocked on the side.

Just like when they first met this skeleton, which appeared very polite, yet later simply sealed their memories.

Though it was just a skeleton, its face displayed an embarrassed emotion: "Sorry, I was also evading the gaze of the world."

After speaking, it began to explain on its own: "I came here because my laboratory used to be here, this is a place where multiple nodes converge, such a location is very rare.

But after I came here, I found it was occupied by a group of weak undead, whom I naturally didn't take seriously.

Who knew..." it left the sentence unfinished, but everyone understood the implication.

Who could have thought that the weak undead was owned by a powerful Giant Dragon, though also undead.

But still, it wasn't something he could handle.

"Since this used to be the site of my laboratory, I naturally conducted some experiments here, and through understanding myself, I triggered the ripple in the river of time, drawing everything in.

Only having done such a thing again, and at such a critical moment, I'm surely on the world's blacklist."

At this, it looked at Kana, placing the fragment it held delicately onto his hand.

"I seek your protection, you are the Savior the world has chosen, I will clear the sins I committed, but I beg the world to spare me, not to punish me."

The skeleton was filled with the instinct to survive.

Kana took the fragment, examining it closely, confirming once more that this was indeed the last piece he was missing.

"You should know, right, the world does not have something called consciousness."

"Of course, that's why He would impartially punish everything, which is what makes it terrifying."

Otherwise, his actions could not completely be considered wrong if a conscious mind could plug rational understanding.

But the problem is there's none, instead, it's an instinct that leans towards Life, this way, it shows an absolute form of fairness that people cannot resist.

"Here's the deal, I may not be able to directly remove the world's bad influence on you, but I can teach you how to improve, and compensate for your mistakes."

Upon hearing this, the skeleton was not disheartened. Instead, it was somewhat excited, as Kana indeed could make it work.

Nodding, "That would be wonderful."

By this time, the Giant Dragon spoke, its invisible gaze fell upon the skeleton.

"Hey, you."

"Ah?!"

The skeleton, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt the pressure on itself intensify, becoming tense again.

"How are you in such a state? A display of undead on the outside, yet it's the essence of Life. Why?"

The quest for knowledge prompted him to speak at this moment.

"I cannot speak, it's an accident caused after the world's punishment." The skeleton honestly replied.

"Punishment?" The voice of the undead dragon sounded peculiar: "If this is punishment, then I can't wait for it to descend upon me."

Hearing this, Kana's focus shifted back to the Giant Dragon.

Suddenly, he had an idea of how to deal with him.

Given the current circumstance, letting him go, again it's hard to guarantee he won't mess around.

Not releasing him, the open soul can't directly confront the battlefield against the Evil God, it would be too easily swayed by the power of the Evil God.

If not for this, he wouldn't be hiding here.

"How about this, Giant Dragon, you don't want to just die like this, let's strike a deal, shall we?"

"Deal?" The Giant Dragon questioned, then promptly agreed.

"Alright, anything is better than meeting death anyhow."

Great, met two Legendary beings in one day, both legendary in appearance of undead, yet carried immense survival instincts.

"Alright then." Kana smacked his lips, inexplicably feeling a bit regretful.

He had just been rehearsing in his mind the exchange needed to sway these two to his side, for him... for the grand purpose of the world's survival.

But things proceeded so smoothly that he had no room to exert his skills.
