621: Chapter 671 Becoming a Mid-Sequence Saint!

The moment An Ke's power as a Saint erupted, the two Saints felt completely unwell.

"A S-Saint!?"

"When did this guy's strength reach the Saint level?"

The two were utterly bewildered.

The key was, since the other party had just become a Saint, why was his strength so much greater than theirs?

He could withstand the attacks of both of them alone.

"Damn it!"

"Drag him out of the mansion!!"

The Saint of the 88th Domain Mansion immediately shouted, slashing a door into the void.

He intended to throw An Ke into the door.

However, in the next second, Mansion 001 exploded.

It exploded in the literal sense.

At this moment, all the players erupted with the aura of the Saint realm.

A pillar of aura unique to the Saint realm soared into the sky.

It shocked the Mid and High-Sequence Saints.

Ai Li's strength was only that of a Low-Sequence Saint, so An Ke could not affect Mid or High-Sequence Saints.

"This, this..."

The Mid and High-Sequence Saints were speechless.

When had they ever seen such a sight?

One must know that the total number of Saints in the entire Civilization Game was only a few hundred.

Previously, when Saints appeared, at most a hundred appearing together would be the absolute limit.

But now, there were over a thousand Saints present.

The scene was extremely shocking; the site was like a carnival of Saints.

"That guy named An Ke is a monster, isn't he?"

"Shouldn't we say, could he be a True God?"

"Making so many people become Saints is truly ridiculous..."

"A True God is unlikely. After all, if that guy were a True God, he would have cleared the game long ago. Why would he keep hiding from the Demigods?"

"What should we do now?"

"Look, who is that?"

"Ai Li!!!"

The Mid and High-Sequence Saints spotted Ai Li among the Saints.

At this moment, he was also shocked by the pillars of Saint aura erupting everywhere.

Your Excellency is truly incredible!

He wouldn't have dared to imagine such a scene in his life, yet An Ke had made it appear with ease.

"Ai Li!!"

"What are you doing?"

Ai Li looked toward the voice and saw the Mid and High-Sequence Saints of domain 001 questioning him.

"I am admiring His Excellency An Ke's masterpiece."

"Don't you think it's beautiful and shocking?"

The Saints opposite him gnashed their teeth.

"You actually refer to that villain as 'Your Excellency'?"

"Ai Li, you've truly gone mad."

"That guy is an executioner, a butcher!!"

"Do you know how many civilizations he has destroyed since his arrival?"

Ai Li nodded, "I know!"

"And yet you still stand on that executioner's side?"

"Heh! You say that as if you and I aren't executioners ourselves," Ai Li sneered.

"Why did we come here?"

"Was it not to clear the game?"

"And only one person can clear the game. Given the game's nature, do you think the remaining players will be allowed to live?"

The Mid-Sequence Saints had no words to counter.

It was indeed the truth.

It appeared that the Realm Domain Mansions were competing, but in reality, everyone was an opponent.

It was just that the long passage of time had made many players forget this, gradually treating this place as their life.

This was also one of the reasons why no one had been able to clear the game for so many years.

Demigods also kept each other in check; no one wanted anyone else to clear the game.

"Alright! Enough talk." Ai Li grinned, his face full of excitement.

"Everyone, why don't you sacrifice yourselves a bit?"

"Let me also experience being a Mid or High-Sequence Saint for fun."

Since most of the people had leaped to the Saint level by relying on An Ke's Share,

Their own origins were not plentiful, meaning An Ke could not gain much 'experience' from them.

But actual Saints were different.

Their origins were solid and could provide An Ke with a massive amount of experience.

Ai Li's appearance on An Ke's behalf this time was specifically to kill Saints.

"What kind of joke are you making!!"

The dozen or so Mid and High-Sequence Saints gnashed their teeth.

This was domain 001's Mansion; it had such a foundation.

"Since you are unwilling to sacrifice yourselves, I'll have to do it myself."

As the words fell, Ai Li pressed his finger down.

Instantly, over a thousand Saints all looked toward the 10 Mid and High-Sequence Saints.

Feeling those gazes, they felt their very souls trembling.

It was true their strength was greater than these people, but the other side had numbers.

Even if half of these 'Saints' were gone, the rest could drown them in spit alone.

The dozen or so Saints looked at each other and immediately made a decision.

Flee!

Flee this place immediately.

Such a situation could only be handled by a Demigod.

But could they escape from so many Saints?

The dozen or so felt uncertain.

...

At the same time, the Demigods who were 'setting the stage' also felt the numerous Saint auras coming from domain 001's Mansion.

Ai and Wu, the two Demigods from domain 001's Mansion, immediately felt uneasy.

"Damn it! That guy went to our mansion!"

"Senior, I'm going to go kill him," Ai said through gritted teeth.

Wu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Go!"

"What about the other Realm Domain Mansions?"

A Demigod asked the others.

If left unchecked, An Ke would definitely head to the other Realm Domain Mansions.

The situation would become extremely troublesome then.

"That guy intends to cause trouble at the various mansions to make us go there and delay our progress in setting the stage."

"I think we can simply ignore him."

"The ritual setup time is less than an hour."

"Even if we let him run wild, he won't be able to affect all 108 mansions."

"In that case, we might as well continue setting the stage. Once we find his origin, we can hunt him down directly."

Many Demigods supported this proposal.

If they let An Ke mess around, could he really affect all 108 Realms?

However, just then, the Demigods received bullet comments from the outside world.

They claimed that 105 players were heading toward different Realm Domain Mansions.

"Could that guy actually split off 105 clones?"

The Demigods were shocked.

In fact, creating clones was very easy for a Demigod.

But the key was that clones were very different from the main body; they lacked their own origin.

This meant they were not only weak but also unable to use primary abilities.

But looking at An Ke now, it seemed he could simultaneously affect the people in the remaining 105 domain mansions.

This was a bit terrifying.

"Have the bullet comments notify the players in all the domain mansions to leave their mansions immediately."

"Go stay in the uninhabited wilderness."

"Then we will split off half of our forces to stop An Ke."

"The other half will continue setting the stage..."

Half was already enough in the eyes of the Demigods.

As for domain 001's Mansion, the Demigods had already decided to abandon it.

Even if they rushed over now, they likely wouldn't be able to save those Mid and High-Sequence Saints.

After all, being besieged by so many Saints, it was impossible to survive without being a Demigod.

Just as the Demigods thought.

Under the human wave tactics.

Only a few fast-running Saints survived.

While the slower Saints quickly perished in the 'tide of people'.

As An Ke fused nearly 10 Mid and High-Sequence Saints,

His 'Natural Affinity' reached level 85.

He became a Mid-Sequence Saint.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of things.

At the Demigods' request, the Saints began leaving the mansions and hiding in the wilderness.

And this played right into An Ke's hands.

Previously, An Ke's group was worried they wouldn't be able to affect the players of the 108 domain mansions.

They feared being blocked by the Demigods.

But now that the others were scattering into the wilderness, An Ke's room for maneuver had expanded significantly.

As long as he found them, he could turn them into his own people or kill them.

"Kuku, I'm leaving everything to you from here on."

An Ke said to Kuku.

"Next, I plan to meet several Demigods simultaneously."

The Demigods had split into several groups, intending to preserve the safety of the other players in the domain mansions and prevent them from becoming his experience packs.

An Ke planned to use this to gain the opportunity to negotiate with them individually.

Don't think of Demigods as too profound and mysterious.

They were like industry giants; their strength was indeed top-tier, but they still had times when they could fail.

The world is just a giant makeshift stage; this saying applies to the entire universe as well.

"Alright! your esteemed father!"

Kuku grinned, "I already started deploying earlier, and it's coming in handy now."

When An Ke had him 'perform', he used the unique properties of fungus to start spreading his 'seeds' throughout the entire territory.

As long as someone happened to touch these 'seeds', they could be sensed.

Then he could move to fuse them.

...

Meanwhile.

On the Demigods' side.

Wu blocked the path of several Saints.

They hadn't been Saints before; An Ke had forcibly boosted their strength, making them Saints.

"Stop!"

Wu spoke with an unfriendly tone.

He didn't strike immediately because he intended to study An Ke's 'control' methods.

To see if they could be broken.

This method was truly terrifying; if there was a way to break it, dealing with An Ke would be much simpler.

The opponent intended to throw the territory into chaos; the best way was to sabotage the opponent's plan.

"Lord Demigod..."

Seeing the Demigod before them, the Saints stopped.

After all, trying to force their way through was definitely impossible.

The Demigod was somewhat surprised.

"Your minds are still clear?"

He hadn't looked into it deeply before, so he didn't know that the minds of those 'controlled' by An Ke were still clear and possessed their own consciousness.

"Yes!"

"Lord Demigod, we are still ourselves."

"Then you are unable to control your own bodies?" Wu asked again.

"No! We can still control our bodies."

"As we just said, we are still ourselves."

"Then why do you still obey that guy's orders and assist him in heading to other mansions?" Wu's voice was low.

"Don't you know that doing this is aiding a villain?"

"Stop immediately, and I can still spare your lives."

"Lord Demigod, we cannot stop," a Saint said apologetically.

"Hmm?" Wu was surprised, "Why?"

"Because this is Lord An Ke's order, and his orders are absolute."

"We cannot disobey."

"It seems you are still 'controlled' after all!" Wu shook his head.

"No! We are not controlled; this is also our will."

"No! This is not your will," Wu said sternly.

Then he waved his hand, and the Saints before him instantly fell into silence, their gazes becoming dull and lifeless.

They had fallen asleep.

"Let me see where this guy applied control on the mental plane."

Wu felt he had grasped a clue.

Since the physical body wasn't controlled, yet the other party still said they had to listen to An Ke, there was only one possibility.

That was that An Ke applied control on the mental plane.

Such control was very special and usually very hard to detect.

But Wu felt he could find it.

After all, he was a Demigod.

However, after an unknown amount of time, Wu searched the mental seas of several Saints for a long time but saw no 'control' applied by An Ke.

"Strange..." Wu was incredibly surprised.

He had almost conducted a carpet search of the mental sea and still hadn't found it; it shouldn't be possible.

"Is it at a deeper level of the mind?"

Wu remembered that An Ke could use a special domain, which was a concept body.

"This guy truly has many tricks!"

Wu couldn't help but curse.

Some methods were things even he, a Demigod, didn't know.

In the mental domain, among the Demigods, the most powerful was Xiao.

While his own characteristic was simple: 'Harvest'.

It could make things currently in progress reach a result.

However, this method greatly defied the laws; every time it was used, it would consume a lot of his lifespan.

So Wu rarely used it.

This time, Wu rarely used it once.

To bring his search for the clue to An Ke's 'control' to a final result.

However, unfortunately, the final result obtained was that it could not be found.

One must know that using the characteristic involved taking all tens of millions of possible lines of events and deducing them to get the 'Harvest' result.

In other words, this deduction included the possibility of him going to seek help from Xiao.

Even with his help, the result was still that the clue to An Ke's 'control' could not be found.

"Does it need to be an even deeper level?"

"But that's impossible..."

Mental sea, dream plane, concept body plane.

These were the domains related to the mental plane known to the Demigods.

Whether there was a level deeper, even the Demigods didn't know. How could An Ke possibly know?

The opponent was very ridiculous, but it was impossible to be ridiculous to this extent, right?

"Wasted my lifespan for nothing..."

Wu regretted it.

If he had known, he wouldn't have used his characteristic.

Because of this characteristic use, he had lost decades of his life.

Hopefully, he wouldn't become the second Demigod about to perish after Xiao.

Wu looked at the several Saints before him who were closing their eyes.

He thought for a moment and decided to kill them all.

Since he couldn't break their 'control', keeping them was useless.

It would only continue to give An Ke subordinates to use.

That would be disadvantageous for his side.

Just as Wu was about to kill all the Saints, An Ke's figure suddenly appeared before them.

He looked at Wu and said, "As a Demigod, is it really good to kill all these people?"

Wu was clearly stunned.

But in the next second, an excited laugh came.

"An Ke!?"

"Haha! I didn't expect you to actually come to my door yourself. Fantastic!"

An Ke laughed: "Is there a need to be so excited?"

"Could it be that you're a fan of mine?"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Wu looked at An Ke with annoyance.

However, he didn't curse.

He just said calmly: "You can only enjoy your glib tongue for now."

"Soon you won't be able to make a sound, and you'll be begging for mercy before me like crazy."

An Ke didn't care.

If he were afraid, he wouldn't have come looking for the Demigods.

"Do you want to win the game?"

An Ke spoke calmly...

...
