Deceitful Game

Chapter 285 A New Title Combining 4 into 1!

Because these two wines, like live loaches rolling in boiling water, begin a fierce battle in the glass!

It's like the scene when fish are splashing around at the edge of a fishpond, turning up the yellow mud.

Mingpo leaned over and smelled it, then immediately looked troubled.

How can I describe this feeling...?

...It's probably like almond milk mixed with cola.

Want to try a sip?

However, after a while, Mingpo suddenly realized!

If its reaction is this intense... could it be that the bartending isn't actually over yet?!

Mingpo had tried mixing three different bottles of liquor before. But when he tried adding absinthe to "Werewolf Detective," just one drop caused a violent explosion!

but……

...Could it be because Mingpo hadn't yet obtained the title of the [Balance] Domain at that time?!

The realm of balance symbolizes equilibrium, moderation, and harmony.

If [Dorian Gray] from the Balance Domain is available as a transit point

Mingpo thought for a moment and tried adding a drop of [Detective].

The result was that there was neither an explosion nor a cessation of boiling.

So Mingpo added about a spoonful more.

It boiled even more vigorously!

What started as a fierce battle between two colors has now become a battle between three colors.

"...Wisdom, Balance, Slaughter."

Mingpo thought for a moment, then suddenly had a thought: "Could it be...?"

So he carefully added a drop of Frankenstein.

This title couldn't be changed before. But now, maybe this state of the wine can...?

He was even prepared to escape at any moment.

However, when that drop of wine was added, the boiling of the wine suddenly stopped.

Like some kind of magical chemical reaction... the bubbling liquid suddenly quieted down.

Not only that... it even started to change color!

It turned into a mesmerizing and fantastical blue, looking like the ocean or the stars.

...I see, I see!

The reason those cocktails failed before was because [Heng] wasn't added!

Both "Frankenstein" and "Detective" are pseudo-gold level titles, with the same rank.

And by using the higher-level [Balance] and [Slaughter] as a harmonizer, this unprecedented [Four-in-One Title] was completed!

Just by looking at it, you can clearly feel the awe-inspiring power it contains!

Mingpo couldn't wait to drink it down, wanting to know its name.

The moment he drank it, Mingpo's pupils constricted instantly.

A sense of dread, like being submerged in water, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, washed over me.

He felt as if he were silently sinking into the deep sea, the only light in his eyes gradually shrinking like a window getting smaller and smaller...

[Title changed]

[Currently Wearing: Atlantean (Forbidden - Silver)]

[The Atlanteans are now experiencing the effects of wearing it.]

[Warning, insufficient permissions!]

The next moment, Mingpo collapsed on the spot.

That uncontrollable force went out of control in an instant!

At this moment.

In a place unseen by Mingpe, polluted seawater in the ocean suddenly boils.

Within minutes, they rose higher and higher!

Each time the tide roars in, it rises more than a meter higher than the last.

In just a few minutes, they coalesced into a terrifying tsunami.

Polluted seawater flowed back into the city, easily submerging the fragile city walls. Amidst the screams of the people, buildings teetered on the brink of collapse.

Fortunately, the seawater was polluted, and no one tried to fish in it... otherwise they would have been swallowed up by the raging currents in an instant. Even the Central weather monitoring station has received warnings!

If the sea is allowed to rage unchecked, it could submerge the entire nest beneath the Longevity Sector in a single day!

At that time... perhaps both Central and the Splendor will collapse!

The entire Longevity Sector could be dragged to the bottom of the sea!

This level of anomaly has alarmed the board of directors.

Fortunately, Mingpo, who had lost consciousness, woke up at that moment.

"shop……"

He slowly got up from the ground.

The image of the sea engulfing the city flashed through his memory... like a dream.

Mingpo just blacked out completely, his body thrown backwards to the ground by the added weight of the prosthetic body. If Mingpo hadn't been in relatively good physical condition at that moment, he would most likely have suffered a brain hemorrhage from the fall.

Fortunately, he is now dead.

If he had been injured like this outside, the rescue team called by the employee health insurance would most likely have already broken in through the window and carried him away. Mingpo felt a little dizzy, but quickly recovered.

Insufficient permissions

The title has expired.

When Mingpo woke up, this information came to mind.

Then, the tide went out.

Under the extreme fear, vigilance, and confusion of the Nest people, the sea, which had just seemed about to kill them all, suddenly calmed down and receded in an instant, returning to its calm state.

I'm afraid even the experts in Central are completely baffled by this right now.

"...A taboo?"

Mingpo murmured softly.

It is not any of the five realms of virtue, killing, balance, strength, and wisdom.

It was a completely new field that Mingbo had never heard of before.

Mixing wines from four different categories can yield a [Forbidden] item, which is even a level higher than the ingredients themselves!

Fake gold, fake gold, blue lead, blue lead, and the result was a cup of Moon Silver!

What if...

What would you get if you blended wines from five different regions?

At this moment, Mingpo finally understood... the true value of the Dionysian Shrine as a relic of the gods.

The resulting cocktail can even surpass the ingredients used as a base!

If Mingpo uses the Five Elements of Gold as a harmonizer... what level of title could he obtain?

...But it's just a thought.

Mingpo quickly calmed down.

Because...it's obvious that he doesn't have enough authority.

He did manage to concoct a Moon Silver-level liquor, but he couldn't use it at all. Even if he used five types of Year Gold to create a liquor surpassing the Year Gold level, it would only result in self-destruction.

I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to control it for a moment.

"...Who exactly is this thing for?"

Mingpo's doubts grew stronger.

It's like a magical artifact that allows you to shatter the void with a single punch if your punching power reaches 100,000 jin.

But the premise is, who can deliver a punch with the force of 100,000 jin?

"...The final test?"

Suddenly, Mingpo realized something and her expression turned serious.

Although the Gold of the Year is already the highest level of authority... will passing the final test allow me to use an even higher-level title? Just like the relic of the God of Virtue can directly nail down time and space, preventing the Deceitful Game from going back to before 1980.

If ending this deceptive game requires that level of power...

As a relic of the God of Slaughter, the Dionysus Shrine should also be able to do that!

No, because its perfect activation conditions are more difficult, so the effect should be better!

Because if Nidhogg's Fang is used well enough, it can actually end the Deceitful Game completely! As long as only one Deceitful player is left, time can be frozen, preventing oneself from changing the past, thus ending the Deceitful Game completely.

After all, a game of deception requires at least one deceiver and one host to function. Even games of advancement or adventure require a host to begin.

Therefore, without a host, it would be impossible to even "die in the promotion game and become a host".

For the Dionysian Shrine to unleash its true power... it needs to collect five different Gold-level titles from various fields.

Then, by passing that final test, one can obtain the authority to surpass the power of the Year of Gold.

By combining the five titles of the Gold level, one can obtain ultimate power that surpasses everyone else!

At this moment, Mingbo finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, a chance to completely stop the deceptive game!

"...It's just about collecting five titles."

Mingpo's smile brightened with excitement: "Isn't that easy?"
