537: Chapter 585 Long live the Riddler!

The attacks from the Mercury State Race were not over yet.

【Molecular Destruction Beam】 was like a signal to start the battle, as the other members of the Mercury State Race all began to attack as well.

Everyone's target was An Ke!

They intended to capture the leader first to crush the rest.

An Ke looked at the air that was being shattered like a mirror, thinking to himself: Seriously? Are you Whitebeard or something?

But jokes aside, he didn't dare to be careless.

He immediately used a yellow hexagonal barrier to block the attacks.

This was the black technology from The Three Kings of Taer—【Plasma Shield】.

However, after just a few seconds of contact with the two beams, the barrier shattered with a series of cracking sounds.

"C-rank isn't quite enough now..."

An Ke complained once again.

Without hesitation, his figure vanished from his original spot and reappeared behind the attacking Mercury State Race member.

"Ice Age!!"

An Ke shouted softly, still using the ability he obtained from The Three Kings of Taer—the S-rank【Ice Age】.

"He has ice attribute abilities too?!" The Mercury State Race member was shocked.

However, he was not overly concerned. "I've been waiting for you."

An Ke had just used【Instant Flash】, and the Mercury State Race member had been on guard against this move.

Before An Ke's freezing attack could reach him, the Mercury State Race member instantly transformed into silver droplets of liquid and fell toward the ground.

"PG! The three of you, attack now!"

"We've been waiting! Haha!" The Mercury State Race member named PG immediately launched an attack on An Ke upon hearing the command.

The earlier attacks from several Mercury State Race members, along with the one using the【Molecular Destruction Beam】, were merely a diversion.

The real attack came from PG and the others who were waiting for An Ke to use【Instant Flash】.

"Although we don't know the specifics of this ability of yours, as long as it's an ability, there must be a cooldown period."

"Hehehe! Little guy, I bet your movement ability is on cooldown now. Let's see how you're going to dodge this."

Mercury State Race members attacked from both sides and behind An Ke.

One whipped out a silver long whip, another unleashed a bolt of lightning, while the one behind him was the most direct.

A large blade glowing with intense heat appeared in his hand, its surface red-hot, the searing heat distorting the air around it.

In the conference room of the 99th Realm, the Yishu Noble and Qingtian Noble grew excited.

"Yes! Just like that, take An Ke down."

"I can't think of how a player from an F-rank civilization could withstand attacks from three C-rank players."

The two nobles were naturally not excited about the battle between low-sequence beings like An Ke and the Mercury State Race.

For beings like them, who could casually shatter stars, even the Dream civilization, rated SS-rank, was nothing but a small insect.

What excited them was that if An Ke were killed, they could take resources from nobles like Tike.

At that moment, a horrified shout came from the live stream.

"PG?!"

"Where... where did PG go?"

"Wait! Don't attack, PG has disappeared!"

In the live stream, the Yishu Noble and Qingtian Noble were stunned, their expressions beneath their ornate masks turning strange.

"What happened?"

"Why would a Mercury State Race member disappear?"

The Yishu Noble and Qingtian Noble both turned to look at Fama and the others, but they remained as enigmatic as ever.

The two nobles were almost ready to flip the table.

"Damn it! They can't influence the game's outcome anyway, yet they're still playing riddles? Would it kill them to give a hint?" Qingtian cursed angrily.

Tike, Dainike, and the other nobles remained silent. With their ornate masks on, no one knew what they were thinking.

However, Fama couldn't hold back and burst into laughter: "Getting impatient! Getting impatient!"

"We just want to see you get worked up, to feel your anger. It's just too amusing."

"Long live the riddlers!"

Behind them, No. 1379 and the Chief Steward said nothing.

The more time one spent with the nobles, the more one realized they weren't as aloof, serious, or rigid as previously imagined.

They were actually quite interesting.

At that moment, the Azure Noble's voice drifted over softly: "If you activate your Spiritual Sight, you'll understand."

Upon hearing this, the Yishu Noble and Qingtian Noble immediately activated their Spiritual Sight.

Soon, they saw a figure they hadn't noticed before—it was Leopard Mom.

"She turned into a spiritual state... No wonder the Mercury State Race couldn't detect her." Yishu spoke through gritted teeth.

"Damn it! An Ke's group actually has such advanced technology." Qingtian's entire "civilization" felt unsettled.

With the【bose converter】in play, how could the Mercury State Race compete?

While the nobles could see spiritual beings, the Mercury State Race inside the game could not.

The Bose-Einstein Condensate State was an extremely unique condition.

Inside the game, the Mercury State Race members who had been attacking An Ke together all stopped, looking around warily.

They couldn't understand what had happened or why PG had disappeared.

"PG! PG! Where are you!!" one of the players shouted.

But silence reigned, with no answer.

They all turned to look at An Ke, their eyes filled with accusation.

An Ke smiled mysteriously and said, "The dead don't need answers."

"Now it's our turn to attack!"

"Partners, I've already transmitted the ice attribute ability to you.

You can now use ice attribute abilities! But be careful to moderate your usage; the consumption is quite intense."

An Ke replaced【Elemental Affinity】on the【Replaceable Slot】with【Ice Age】.

Below, Little Bun and Little Tiger were excited.

"Haha! Brother! Brother! Does that mean we can fight too?"

Little Bun and Little Tiger were a bit thrilled.

Their attacks were purely physical, and they weren't as powerful as Jingang, so even if they joined the fight, it wouldn't make much difference.

But now that they could use ice attribute abilities, things were different.

"Yes, you can!" An Ke replied with a smile.

On the Mercury State Race side, the players were confused.

"That Human Player said he transmitted the ice attribute ability to his pets. What does that mean?"

"Does that mean his pets can now use ice attribute abilities?"

"That's ridiculous, right?"

Even if beaten to death, the Mercury State Race players wouldn't believe An Ke could grant animals attributes.

This clearly exceeded their current level of understanding, didn't it?

It was like people in the 21st century looking at controlled nuclear Fusion.

Conference room of the 99th Realm.

The Yishu Noble and Qingtian Noble stared intently at the live stream.

Had that Human Player really granted supernatural abilities to animals?

"Fusion!"

The voices of Little Wild Leopard and Little Tiger came from the live stream.

"Ta-da! Tiger and Leopard make their entrance!"

"Hiss!"

Several Mercury State Race members gasped in shock upon seeing the fused Little Tiger and Little Wild Leopard.

These were two more supernatural animals.

Tiger and Leopard grinned, then leaped into the air, targeting a Mercury State Race member to attack.

His fist stretched out like rubber, with a chilling cold radiating from it.

"He really has ice attribute attacks!!"

The Mercury State Race members felt their scalps tingle, cursing inwardly.

The Human Player really could grant supernatural abilities to animals.

"Damn! Is this an F-rank player?"

The Mercury State Race collectively voiced this soul-searching question in their hearts.
