Chapter 4190 Pure Domain
Gabriel's opinion remains unchanged: as long as he can participate, nothing else matters.
After Gabriel finished speaking, the crowd, who had occasionally chimed in, gradually quieted down and turned their attention to Angel and Laplace.
Everyone knew that the final decision on which level to challenge next would depend on the two of them.
Laplace spoke first, shrugging calmly, "I still can't join this battle, so I won't participate in the decision-making."
To avoid the Fog Spirit dissipating, Laplace chose to forgo entering the game.
In her view, since she wouldn't be going into the instance with the team, the decision should naturally be left to those who were truly going to the front lines.
She looked at Angell: "Why don't you make the decision?"
Angel sighed helplessly, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the back of his hand: "You're so relaxed, putting all the pressure on me right away... To be honest, I haven't completely made up my mind yet."
Laplace: "So what are your thoughts on these levels?"
This question hit the nail on the head for everyone, because based on their previous experiences, they knew very well that Angell could always obtain some "unexpected" intelligence through some unknown means.
Maybe we can gain something this time too?
Angell could naturally guess what everyone was thinking. He pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't received any additional information yet, which is why I haven't made up my mind."
"However, if I had to choose, I would personally prefer to choose the one with the lowest difficulty."
The four levels each have different objectives: hunting angels on earth, hunting countless ghosts, breaking through the enemy lines, and sealing away a being that appears to be a god.
In terms of difficulty, Angell felt that the goal of the Scarbugi front was relatively easy, as long as they could find a way to break through the enemy's front. However, as everyone had analyzed before, in the crucial period of gaining points in the early stages, such levels that obviously require a lot of time should be given a lower priority.
Ingres also agreed with this point.
Therefore, the Skabugi front is excluded for now.
The remaining three mission objectives are an unknown deity, an angel on earth, and countless ghosts... Judging from the names alone, the "unknown deity" is most likely to be the most difficult. As for the other two, they are currently evenly matched.
However, since the "unknown deity" does not require hunting but is simply sealed, its difficulty level can be reduced somewhat, but it still feels more prestigious than the angels and countless ghosts on earth.
Therefore, at present, Angel personally prefers to choose between hunting earth angels or hunting boundless ghosts.
If asked which one they prefer, the answer is clear—earthly angels.
In the real world, he would definitely choose the Boundless Ghosts first. With the "Prelude to Reincarnation" skill, which has a special attack effect on the undead, hunting them wouldn't be too difficult.
The problem is that the Prelude to Reincarnation is a "secret treasure" and cannot be pulled into the Dream Crystal Plains by the Dream Conch; without this reliance, facing ghosts will be much more difficult.
Don't be fooled by the fact that adventure novels often portray ghosts as low-level monsters like slimes. In reality, dealing with ghosts, or rather, undead, is a very troublesome affair.
Especially when the undead have gone mad, killing them can easily leave you with disordered negative energy.
Even formal wizards, when encountering undead creatures, will banish them instead of hunting and eliminating them.
Therefore, when he saw the prospect of hunting countless ghosts, Angel instinctively felt a sense of rejection.
So, having eliminated all others, only earthly angels remain...
Although the title "Angel" doesn't sound like someone easy to deal with, there's one good thing... Earth Angels come from the World Grinding Day dungeon, which is a known and already completed dungeon, making it relatively easy to obtain information about it.
After Angell laid out his considerations, everyone around the stone table fell into deep thought.
Gabriel was the first to give feedback: "I agree, earthly angels suit me perfectly!"
The angels on the ground need to fly, while Gabriel is always floating, making him a perfect fit for the angels on the ground level.
Gray Porcelain, however, timidly raised its hand: "I can't fly, could you...?"
Before it could finish speaking, Angel interrupted, "Don't worry, as long as I don't want you to fall, you absolutely won't fall."
Gabriel chimed in, "I'll allow you to sit on my lap then."
Gray Porcelain: "...I don't want to, I'm afraid my butt will be full of holes."
"Hey! Don't slander me. These aren't thorns, they're trichomes! I can make them hard or soft as I want! You can't possibly poke a hole in them!"
"If you want to get hard, then get hard... that sounds awful."
"Do you think I wanted you to sit down?"
Angel ignored Gabriel and Gray Porcelain's bickering and continued, "In short, this is my initial thought. However, whether or not to ultimately choose the angels on earth is something you can discuss further."
"No need for further discussion, let's choose the angels on earth," the rabbit girl said, standing up decisively.
As soon as she finished speaking, she belatedly realized that she might have been too decisive, and quietly glanced around at her surroundings out of the corner of her eye.
Apart from Gray Porcelain, who had a bitter face and a resentful look in her eyes, no one else reacted strangely. Even Laplace nodded slightly at her.
Seeing this, the rabbit girl pursed her lips and repeated, emphasizing her words, "Go to the angels on earth!"
"Support!" Gabriel immediately manipulated the illusion puppet to raise his hands, afraid of being even a second too slow.
Laplace nodded slightly: "I'll do as you say."
Montessori and Maggie exchanged a glance, had no objections, and replied in unison, "We second that."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Gray Porcelain could only sigh helplessly and said dejectedly, "I... I second that too. But, could you please not choose me this time?"
Just as the rabbit girl was about to speak to comfort Gray Porcelain, Angel suddenly interrupted, "Hey, wait a minute, I asked you to discuss it, and you just jumped to conclusions?"
The rabbit girl paused for a moment, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes—wasn't it you who first suggested the angels on earth?
Angel rubbed his temples helplessly: "I'm just giving a preliminary indication. Whether or not to choose it depends on a discussion of the pros and cons."
"Perfect timing, I was also planning to look for any additional information while you're discussing this..."
……
The stone table meeting then moved into a free discussion phase.
Angell, on the other hand, chose to temporarily leave the Word Manor and return to the players' camp.
He came to the player camp for two main reasons: first, to check the information on the World Day of Grinding dungeon, and second, to hear if there was any further news from other teams in the camp.
From a god-like perspective, Angell could see everything in the players' camp, whether it was public or private discussions.
All the contestants seemed to have become game NPCs; when they spoke, bubbles would appear above their heads, presenting the content in text form.
This "bubble chat" mode allows him to instantly see all the topics discussed by everyone.
A moment later, Angell withdrew his God's-eye view.
The main topics of conversation at the players' camp right now are still various analyses of the Golden City and the various follow-ups after Maggie's appearance... However, apart from these, he still heard a lot of useful information.
For example, after a Seto squad entered the Scarbuge front, they dug a trap in order to kill a powerful kimmoth.
They finally succeeded in killing the pyrethrum.
Of course, killing a kimbap bug isn't anything special; it only adds 0.01 to the completion score.
Angor paid attention to this intelligence because later, the Seto team went to another island, but while they were carefully looking for a hunting opportunity on that island, a message suddenly popped up in the text box - completion increased by 0.01.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the monsters on the island had respawned, and the trap they had dug had actually killed another monster.
Furthermore, the completion rate of this monster was also attributed to them.
Outdated traps can actually score points for killing monsters? This excited them greatly, and they immediately started brainstorming: If delayed traps can kill monsters and score points, then if they create a man-made disaster, will the island affected by the disaster continue to score points after monsters spawn?
For example, they might try to create a poisonous fog that spreads across an area. In the future, if any monsters that spawn in this area are killed by the poisonous fog, will the kills count towards their score?
If we calculate it, wouldn't we just be able to sit back and wait for the points to roll in?
However, while their idea was good, they simply didn't have the materials to create a poisonous fog that could spread over a large area, and it had to be the kind that was extremely toxic and could kill someone instantly, which made it even more difficult.
Ultimately, they did not succeed in their experiment, but after leaving the checkpoint, they reported the news to Elder Seto.
And Angell happened to hear it.
He personally felt that this intelligence was valuable, and it might be useful as a reference when Rabbit Hole entered the Skabugi front later.
There's no need to prepare any highly toxic fog. If there really is a "delayed score-farming" mechanism, then we can set up a large illusion on the island and use illusion magic to kill monsters.
Good, I'll make a note of that.
In addition to this information, he also obtained information about the Earth Angel level.
The intelligence came from the Konoha clan.
Because of their small size, the Konoha clan can glide through the air using their leaves. This Konoha team learned from the experiences of other teams and began gliding as soon as they entered, mainly gliding towards the outside of the building.
Because someone in the players' camp has already revealed that "Geofac spores" are spread all over the building, it is absolutely forbidden to step on the floor inside the building.
So, they started by doing the opposite, floating out of the building and looking for opportunities outside.
But who knew that they would encounter a strong wind as soon as they went out.
The five team members were blown away.
Four of the team members landed dazed and were dragged underground by the fungal spores, suffocating to death.
Only the captain, having drifted to a patch of red soil far from the city, survived.
But the captain didn't survive for long either. After moving on the red clay for ten seconds, he suddenly started panting and couldn't breathe. Then, the text bar started refreshing with a long list of hit statuses...
"You have endured the 'false ground' of the red umbrella."
"You have been placed under the 'no-fly zone' of airborne bacteria."
"You have absorbed the aftershocks of the earthly angels passing by in the 'Pure Realm'."
"Based on our assessment, your body could not withstand the above-mentioned capabilities; you are dead."
"Death protection has been activated."
"The 'Earth Angel' level is now on cooldown."
Cooldown countdown: 23:59:59
Cooldown countdown: 23:59:58
"Cooldown countdown..."
After the Konoha squad was wiped out, the captain emerged from the instance and was surrounded by his teammates who questioned him. The captain didn't hide anything and told them all the information.
From God's perspective, Ingres also listened to his account, including the analysis of each ability that he pulled up from the text bar.
"False Ground: The Red Umbrella releases a high density of red spores, weaving an illusion in mid-air that perfectly matches the ground. You think your feet are firmly planted, but in reality, you are suspended above an abyss."
"No-Fly Zone: Airballs will define an 'absolute airspace' centered on themselves. Any alien creature that enters this area without permission will trigger the 'Void' effect—continuously depriving the surrounding air and disabling flight skills, causing the target to fall; if it fails to leave the airspace within 10 seconds, it will be considered dead."
When the members of the Konoha team learned about the enemy's two abilities, they were all stunned.
One system creates a fake ground, and the other results in instant death if you don't land within 10 seconds. It's like they're not letting you survive at all!
and.
This is only in mid-air. If you are lucky enough to land, will you encounter terrestrial fungal spores?
If there are still terrestrial fungal spores on the ground, then this is definitely... a funeral three-piece set.
One layer after another, as if they're afraid you won't die.
Previously, only the spores of the fungus were a threat, but now the red umbrella and air cocci have also appeared... This level of difficulty has completely baffled the Konoha team.
Is it really possible for anyone to pass this kind of level?
Even Angel was somewhat dazed after learning this information, let alone the Konoha team.
I previously thought that the Angel on Earth level required flight crew members.
But now the emergence of airborne bacteria has turned this "essential need" into a joke.
It can't land, and it can't stay in the air...
How can anyone take action under such circumstances?
However, what concerned Angor most was this sentence in the Wonderland's hint—
"You have absorbed the aftershocks of the earthly angels passing by in the 'Pure Realm'."
This is currently the only piece of information in the entire player camp that is directly related to the "earth angel" herself.
Angel speculated that the Konoha captain was probably just unlucky and happened to run into the angel on the ground passing by. It wasn't even a direct encounter; he was just swept by the aftershocks of the angel's passing by, which triggered the effect.
However, because of this, Angel was finally able to catch a glimpse of the true face of the angels on earth.
"Pure Realm: An unknown realm that existed since the birth of earthly angels. Only the pure can enter; those who are not pure will be sentenced to death."
This is clearly a typical "instant death" judgment.
Moreover, it is a rare case of a concomitant domain-type determination.
This means that earthly angels possess this domain from the very beginning of their existence. To them, this domain is like the hands and feet of ordinary people—something they are born with and completely under their control.
This can also be understood as a field that can be maintained permanently without any consumption.
In other words, anyone who gets close to an earthly angel will immediately be subject to this death sentence.
Once a candidate is deemed unqualified, they are immediately rejected without explanation.
