511: Desperate situation

Chapter 510: Desperate Situation

Sovereign Alice's motive is simply too strong!

Killing me would fulfill her dream, the opportunity to become the Lord of the Main Spacetime is right before her, within reach. How could she not be tempted?

After learning the truth about the death tribulation, Dick felt an unprecedented sense of dread, feeling like everyone wanted to kill him.

However, upon calm analysis, Sovereign Alice doesn't seem to have this intention; she just wants this life's Alice to leave him.

If she wanted to kill him, she would have likely acted long ago.

Besides, he still possesses an extremely powerful life-saving trump card.

The description of [Spring and Autumn Cicada's Chirp] is very clear: its function is to rewind to three days ago, not to travel through time!

The ability of the strongest demon king system is truly outrageous; even when located in the Main Spacetime, it can actually rewind time.

Even if it's only three days, it's still billions of times stronger than the previous Strongest Hero System!

Looking at [Spring and Autumn Cicada's Chirp] which was currently active in the "Current Status" field of his identity information at the bottom of his view, Dick felt much more at ease.

So, he immediately mustered his courage and asked, "May I ask... what is it that you wish to accomplish by descending upon the Main Spacetime? Perhaps I can be of some assistance..."

"What else could it be? Of course, it's to become the strongest!"

Hearing this, Dick's breath hitched, but he still braced himself and continued to ask, "Then, how do you plan to become the strongest?"

"Rest assured, this sovereign doesn't look favorably upon you. The path to invincibility is walked step by step on one's own..."

Alice crossed her arms, saying haughtily, "This charity, this sovereign does not value!"

Sovereign Alice possesses her own unique arrogance; she pursues ultimate strength but completely disdains the method presented by the prophecy.

Simply killing a mortal of level dozens can make her the Lord of the Main Spacetime, a position untouched for eons?

This sounds like a form of charity, or perhaps a conspiracy, using the promise of becoming the strongest as bait to lure the Lords.

And the arrogant Sovereign Alice has always disdained becoming anyone's pawn; no existence can control her!

"Although there is no proof, this sovereign can feel that killing you won't make one a true supreme Lord, but rather a puppet of some existence!"

Dick narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly noticing the keyword in Alice's words, "Some existence?"

"Exactly, some... existence capable of manipulating the prophecy of the Lords!"

Hearing this, Dick let out a light breath, his heart growing heavier.

Clearly, there is an unknown existence above the Lords, and this unknown existence wants to erase him, which is why it concocted the so-called prophecy.

"In fact, most Lords, they know this is a trap. A few are unwilling to become pawns, but..."

Alice sighed softly, her tone carrying pity, "But more Lords want to give it a try. Even if they know they will be used, they will rush to kill you!"

The position of Supreme Lord is simply too tempting!

Moreover, the Lords have varying personalities; just as there are arrogant ones like Alice, there are certainly shameless ones.

What's wrong with entering the trap?

What's wrong with becoming a pawn?

Being able to become the Supreme Lord... isn't that appealing?

After fully understanding his situation, Dick felt deeply despairing, unsure how to escape for a moment.

At the same time, Dick also understood the mission description of The Last Confession better.

The despair mentioned in it is truly despairing; Dick even felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

If he had ample time to develop, Dick was confident he could continuously complete System missions and become a max-level Demon King.

Even if everything went smoothly, becoming the Lord of the Main Spacetime was not impossible.

By then, even facing the siege of a group of Sub-Timespace Lords, Dick wouldn't be afraid!

Unfortunately, Dick currently has no time to develop; in two days, he will face the assault of over a hundred Lords.

Fortunately, after obtaining so much information about the death tribulation, the mission progress of The end of the love has also increased significantly, currently reaching 81%!

Although he doesn't know how the System will arrange things, for now, Dick can only hope to complete the mission.

"Right, Lord Alice, why is it two days later? Are the Lords' main bodies still on their way?"

Dick wasn't very clear about many concepts of time travel.

For example, how long does it take to get from a Sub-Timespace to the Main Spacetime?

How fast can the Lords travel?

Do they need to queue up to descend into the same timespace?

"What way? Traveling through timespace planes doesn't take time at all. Those Lords who want to kill you have already arrived..."

"!!!"

Dick looked stunned, subconsciously glancing around, but soon, he noticed a strange problem.

Since the Lords had already arrived, why wait specifically for two days?

Alice saw Dick's confusion and immediately explained, "If a Lord wants their main body to descend into the Main Spacetime, they can only go through a specific passage..."

"And because the passage is narrow, it can only accommodate one Lord's main body at most each time, but..."

"Now there's an extremely overbearing guy who is blocking the passage alone, preventing all Lords from entering."

Hearing this, Dick felt somewhat shaken.

Blocking over a hundred Lords alone... how strong must one be to do that?

Amidst his shock, Dick couldn't help but think of Isurna...

Perhaps, only she, having become a Lord, could do such a thing!

Dick believed that with Isurna's talent, even at the Lord level, she was definitely a ceiling!

It's easy to imagine that Sovereign Isuurna is currently facing the siege of over a hundred Lords, in an extremely difficult situation.

Yet she still guards the passage to the death; such profound love moved Dick.

"But that means in two days, she... she won't be able to hold out anymore?"

A rare trace of sadness appeared on Dick's face, and the scene of Sovereign Isuurna being besieged and killed flashed in his mind.

"Not exactly..."

Alice pursed her lips, relaying truthfully, "If that guy keeps guarding the passage, it will likely be very difficult for her to lose, after all, the Lords are not united!"

"Then why..."

"Because in two days, the passage in the Main Spacetime will briefly expand. At that time, over a hundred Lords will charge together. Even if that guy is capable of defending, there will always be a few cunning fish that slip through and enter."

Dick's face grew solemn; even if they were just a few fish that slipped through, they were still Lords!
