Apocalypse: System of lotteries



"Need help untying it? I can help you~"

A familiar voice echoed from the darkness.

The Orochi twisted its body, its nine heads swiveling, searching for the origin of the voice, but finding no one.

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Orochi was furious, its body frantically twisted and turned, uprooting the street lamps and fire hydrants in its path. Despite its best efforts, the knot was securely tight and wouldn't yield. Charging towards the high wall, it dragged a trail of debris behind it.

It was determined to kill, to kill everyone inside the wall. It would not be fooled again, it would not fall for the tricks of those despicable people!

Whoosh!

At this moment, its nine heads unleashed a volley of poison, no longer shaped like pillars, but rather, a widespread spray, blanketing the entire area.

"Damn~~"

Ming landed, repairing the corroded clothes, ignoring the poisonous soup, after all, this kind of poison was no longer effective on him.

"You're trying to ambush again!"

Seeing Ming landing, the Orochi immediately charged forward, dragging the junk behind it with a rattling noise.

Ming darted into a corner, poking out his head, "Come on~ I swear we'll fight till the bitter end right here!"

"Hmph! Do you think I'll fall for that again?"

The Orochi ignored him and continued to sprint toward the high wall while spewing poison. It had figured it out - if it charges at those people, Ming would surely try to stop it. Otherwise, those people would all die, and the upper hand would be theirs!

"Damn~"

Ming realized the precariousness of the situation. Once this creature unraveled its tactics, it would never be fooled again. It seemed they would need to resort to a more direct approach!

Elsewhere, Mike rushed to the top of the high wall, looking at the crowd below who were merging their equipment. "David, hurry up, that thing is about to rush over!"

"Almost there, don't worry, go assist them first!" 

"Barriers master, come with me!"

Mike shouted, turned around, and jumped off the high wall, running into the darkness, with dozens of Wall Defenders following closely.

David assessed the group, "Quick, quick, quick, bring out all the fusion scrolls, identification scrolls. Don't hold back now, our situation is deteriorating rapidly~"

"The inventory is disabled, I only brought this one in my backpack."

"I brought two, it's all my belongings, all for you!"

"What's the use of keeping it till death, take out what you have!"

"..."

"Weapons, we need weapons now! The ones with exclusive attributes, the more the better!"

David looked at the people, "Clothes, I need your clothes, it's not enough!"

"Big brother, don't look at me, I only have underwear left, if you still want it, I damn well can take it off for you!"

"I have, this is my only good equipment, damn it, for you!"

"I'm offering my beloved item, take it!"

"..."

David raised his hand, "Fusion Scroll!"

On the other side, Ming and Alan manipulated their puppets on the other end, ensnaring the Orochi's tail in a tug-of-war.

It lifted its huge head, opened its mouth full of fangs, and turned back to counterattack!

"Retreat!"

Ming and Alan, along with their puppets, simultaneously released their hold and swiftly vanished into the alley between the buildings.

Puff puff puff!

The Orochi spewed out poisonous mist, roared, and turned around to continue rushing toward the high wall.

"Continue."

Ming and Alan darted back out, directing a horde of puppets to grasp the tip of the serpent's tail. Engaging in another round of tug-of-war, they exerted all their might, pulling the serpent's tail taut.

"..."

The Orochi turned around and saw the two people fleeing again after letting go. It took a deep breath, it was silent...

And then it kept moving on!

The high wall is in front of them. When they reach the high wall, no one can stop them from going berserk!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

In the dark, the two people jumped out again with their puppets, grabbed the tail for a tug-of-war, and the Orochi continued to move forward, ignoring the two despicable people behind them.

"Boss, this guy is too strong!"

Alan was dragged along, plowing the ground with his feet.

Ming was pulling hard with his heels on the ground.  If not for the creature's evil defense, they wouldn't be wrestling with such a dilemma.

The high wall is right in front of them, and they don't know how the others are doing. At this time, Mike and his people appeared, rushing up to hold the snake's tail.

"Listen to my command!"

Mike shouted, "Hold!"I think you should take a look at

"Hold!"

Everyone tried their best!

The snake's tail became taut, momentarily halting!

"You!"

The Orochi whipped around in fury, its nine gaping maws releasing torrents of poison. The high wall was just within their reach, and no one let go!

Mike hollered, "Activate shields!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Wall Defenders simultaneously deployed their psychic shields. The poison tore through one shield after another. Once the shields dissipated, the continuing spray of venom threatened to drench the assembled crowd!

"Control it for me!"

At this time, a figure riding a huge pink pig appeared. He jumped off the pig and stood in front of everyone, pushing his arms forward. A water curtain suddenly appeared, blocking and neutralizing the poison.

"Lavia!"

He actually came too.

Lavia turned back and smiled, "I can't hold on anymore, this guy is too damn strong! Boss, do you have any tricks left?"

"..."

Everyone was taken aback, initially expecting a hero; yet, to their surprise, they found they were all just apprentices in the face of such a force. 

The horn sounded with a bray.

"It's done!"

With joy surging within, Ming promptly commanded, "Retreat!"

And just like that, they all dispersed.

"..."

The Orochi alone and silent, watched as they disappeared into the surrounding streets. What were they up to? Were they mocking it?

Regardless, it was time to kill.

The serpent coiled its long tail before itself, looping it around its own neck before lunging towards the high wall. It sprung upwards, landing on the wall with all its nine heads ready to spew poison. But there was no one within the fortifications...

"..."

The muscles in the serpent's nine faces twitched with fury burning in its eyes: a bunch of treacherous cowards!

"Hey!"

The familiar voice rang out from behind again. It turned around to see a woman dressed in odd attire standing next to a man in a white coat.

The Orochi  serpent glared, "What trick are you planning now?"

"This time, I'll face you in a fair fight."

Ming picked up Digennaro and whispered into her ear, "Open your eyes!"

"Mm~"

Digennaro nodded. Her eyes flared with a golden glow, and in the next instant, two brilliant beams of light erupted. They swept across the street lamps, severing them. They sliced through cars, splitting them in half. They traversed buildings, igniting the concrete into fiery sparks!

Alice, standing at a distance, gritted her teeth and threw out a radiant force field. When it fell on the distant pair, she slumped backward, falling into Christina's arms and weakly saying, "Let me sleep for a while~"

Christina bent down, her hand tenderly stroking the blonde woman's forehead, "Rest now~"

Boom!

In the next instant, Ming activated [Fancy Footwork], holding Digennaro as they sped off, evading the serpent's attacks, lunges, and tail swipes, directing a beam of light straight at its nine heads!

Evil Defense -5000!

"Heavens!"

Is this the attribute boost from fusing everyone's top-tier gear?

How many fusion scrolls would that take?

Strong!

Hum!!!

The girl's beam swept across the serpent's body.

Evil Defense -5000!

The beam cut diagonally, triggering a critical hit from the gear!

Evil Defense -10000!

"~~"

Ming glanced at the girl... who said, "Don't worry about me. I can handle this. I want to prove that I can help everyone, not be a burden!"

"~"

Ming didn't respond, just holding the girl even tighter.

Hum, hum, hum~

The beam spiraled, cleaving through the serpent.

The Orochi roared in agony as its evil defense crumbled!
