Chapter 355: That’s the Truth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under usual circumstances, it was practically impossible to rape someone in the King of Pantheon game.

It started back when the Sea Island’s Trading Center first opened. Adding someone as a friend allowed the players to come into close proximity with each other, but that was the extent of it. If one party tried to do anything by force, the system would immediately send both sides a cease and desist message.

The best evidence that the system worked was how many players were sent into the small black room when the Sea Island’s Trading Center was first opened.

Defiant Mountain Gun’s great ‘accomplishment’ was unprecedented, and would probably never be emulated again…

After the Rosegate incident, countless scholars of the game were utterly flummoxed because they just could not understand how Defiant Mountain Gun managed to successfully rape her…

“The Major Gods computer that controls the Pantheon game system is extremely powerful, so how could it possibly let such a low-level error like this occur?”

“My thoughts exactly. I once tried to hold the little hand of someone from the opposite sex, and all they had to do was glare at me to send me into the little black room for 10 hours. And here he is raping someone in front of 500 people, are you telling me even the Major Gods algorithm has gone full *sshole?”

The forum exploded. Countless people joined in the study every day, and this trend grew more intense as time went on. It was basically unstoppable…

It was only after Bloody Rose and Defiant Mountain Gun were married, and the parties involved actually told the truth about the incident, that the Rosegate case was properly closed.

How did Defiant Mountain Gun manage to rape her? The reason was very simple.

Bloody Rose consented to it!

According to Bloody Rose, the moment she saw Defiant Mountain Gun for the first time, she had become utterly smitten with him. Just as she was falling head over heels, Defiant Mountain Gun rushed at her and chomped down on her nose (as in he missed his kiss)…

Just then, the Major Gods system sent her an alarm and asked if they should send Defiant Mountain Gun into detention. Bloody Rose rejected them without a second thought.

Although it only lasted 18 seconds, Bloody Rose still rejected the Major Gods system more than 100 times. In other words, if it were not for Bloody Rose’s cooperation, Defiant Mountain God would never have succeeded.

That was the truth!

With the unveiling of this truth and countless sighs, this peculiar rape case was closed.

…

Outside Shattered Frost City, Li Yi rode on his Horned Griffin, pausing in mid-air as he stared at the two pieces of the Divine Mirror in his hand blankly.

So that was the truth behind that incident…

As Bloody Rose carried Defiant Mountain Gun away, she had bumped into Li Yi. Li Yi had drawn his bow and was about to shoot Bloody Rose when she shouted loudly, “Don’t shoot!

“I’ve found my true love and gotten weary of this world of violence. Dark Wing, I’ll leave you with one word of advice—What goes around comes around, so watch yourself!”

“What are you looking at? I’ll gang-rape you!” Just then, Defiant Mountain God roared at Li Yi. He was feeling sorry for himself because the system’s Major Gods had decided that the two of them were lovers, so whatever Bloody Rose did to him was now within bounds.

As Li Yi froze there, Bloody Rose swung her arm and tossed the other piece of the Divine Mirror at him.

“Let me go just this once!”

Bloody Rose and Defiant Mountain Gun flew away, leaving Li Yi frozen on the spot.

Not even he could have anticipated an ending like this…

“Ka-chak!”

There was a crisp sound, and the two pieces of the Divine Mirror merged into one. Its outer appearance changed, as did its name.

It was now the Divine Looking Glass!

[Function: Enter the name of any player, and as long as said player is online, you may obtain their accurate location and coordinates. You may also check your target’s attributes and equipment without permission.]

This was even better than Clairvoyance…

Li Yi understood now.

Bloody Rose had always owned two pieces of the Divine Mirror, but because this item was special, it only dropped one half at a time. In other words, the previous Divine Mirror was incomplete, and it was only when the two halves of the Divine Mirror were put together that it could actually be called an Epic-level Special Tool.

The Bloody Rose incident was over now. Just as Li Yi was about to return to the city, Fire Ice sent him a message saying that a player known as Fang Jie was looking for him.

“Fang Jie?”

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment. He then searched up Fang Jie’s name and sent the latter a friend request.

“Big Bro, it’s me, Fang Jie, I’ve started the game…” Fang Jie sent him an excited message.

“Why are you using this name…?” Li Yi was stunned.

In the previous life, Fang Jie’s IGN had been Mind Kill.

“I’m no good with these names, so I just used my real-life one. Haha, boss, I chose to become an Archer, and I’m Level 13 now.”

“…”

Thankfully, Fang Jie had not changed his class.

“Okay, do you know how to add friends? Add Tall and Mighty, and if there’s anything you don’t know, ask him.”

“Got it, boss.” Fang Jie was addressing Li Yi differently again.

Well, at least he had settled one of them.

Li Yi released a long breath. Although Fang Jie’s IGN was different in this life, Li Yi still had plenty of faith in Fang Jie’s potential. All Fang Jie needed was a bit of time, and he would be able to showcase his true abilities soon enough.

Now that Fang Jie was settled, why had Li Yi not heard anything from the other one, Pale Blue Elegance?

Li Yi gave it a search. There was no user registered under the name Pale Blue Elegance, Chen Lan, or Butterfly Blue…

That was strange. Could it that she went racing again?

Li Yi thought about it over and over to no avail, so he had no choice but to leave it at that for now and head back toward the city.

The Throne-claiming battle was about to begin. Now, the Three Major Guild Alliance and the Iron Alliance were no longer killing each other randomly. Instead, they were forming groups and advancing toward the Celestial Capital in an orderly manner. They had already started to claim their own territory three days in advance.

The official Throne-claiming battle as recognized by the system had yet to begin, but the situation was already out of control. Defiantly Tyrannical had made it very clear very early on that he would stop at nothing to prevent Dark Wing from becoming king.

Confused Fox and Flower Underpants were busying themselves about as well, organizing their forces according to the plan Li Yi had drawn up earlier.

Shen Lang had discovered the reason why Unending Unmatched had attacked Yang Xingchen. When Li Yi found out that Yang Xingchen had actually forced Unending Unmatched to sign the contract, he immediately blew his fuse and sent Yang Xingchen three words.

“Dissolve that contract!”

Defiantly Tyrannical was not afraid of Li Yi, but Yang Xingchen was. Although Milk Dipper Solitary had called off his engagement with Hua Feihua, Yang Xingchen knew Milk Dipper Solitary’s personality better than anyone. If Milk Dipper Solitary found out that he had been sleeping with Hua Feihua, what would become of him?

Yang Xingchen agreed to dissolve the contract, but he responded to Li Yi with the following, “What’s past is past, don’t push your luck!”

Li Yi’s only reaction was to laugh it off.

When Unending Unmatched found out that the contract had been dissolved, he knew immediately that it was Li Yi’s doing. This just made him even more grateful to Li Yu than ever, and he lived up to Li Yi’s expectations as well. Before the Throne-claiming battle, Unending Unmatched made it into the Little Drunk Cat’s First Elite Party.

Unending Unmatched grew stronger as time passed. Unlike Bloody Rose and Big Boy, who already started off formidable, the current Unending Unmatched still required training.

In order to snatch the advantage, Defiantly Tyrannical surrounded the Celestial Capital three days before the event.

His army of several million had surrounded the Celestial Capital like a bucket of steel. They would randomly team up to flood the National Channel, giving off the false impression that they had the upper hand.

Faced with Defiantly Tyrannical’s open boasting, the Iron Alliance responded with similar bad*ssery. As Defiantly Tyrannical led his men to surround the Celestial Capital, Confused Fox and Flower Underpants led their troops to surround them from behind.

However, maybe it was not completely accurate to say they were surrounded, because Confused Fox and Flower Underpants had fewer than 100,000 men under their command. Each time Defiantly Tyrannical led a charge, he would definitely send them scurrying into the distance.

They ran when the enemy chased them, but closed in again when the enemy returned to base…

“What is that punk Dark Wing trying to do now?” Yang Xingchen was confused again.

“He’s playing with smoke and mirrors, trying to distract us on purpose.” Defiantly Tyrannical gave a cold laugh.

“Don’t think about it too much. Once the Throne-claiming battle begins, we can rush straight for the Celestial Capital and kill anyone on sight. When our numbers are low, sure, we need a strategy. But when we outnumber them that much, what’s the point? Hahaha.”

Yang Xingchen simply shook his head. As long as their opponent was Dark Wing, he could not be that confident.

In the Little Drunk Cat Guild’s Smelting Workshop.

Ever since the Smelting Workshop was opened, the clinking and clanging from within never once stopped. The Ironsmith Snickersnee, who had just achieved Grandmaster Level, led his several thousand disciples here, laboring away every day.

The Ironsmiths in King of Pantheon were not only good at crafting weapons and equipment, but they could also forge all sorts of useful tools, such as machinery for sieging cities, catapults, and ballistae.

Right now, these Ironsmiths were forging parts for the Steel-armored Tank.

The Steel-armored Tank had extremely slow SPD, but it had a cannon installed onto it, so it packed a decent punch. The best part of the Steel-armored Tank was that its armor was tremendously thick. A single purple-quality Steel-armored Tank could withstand attacks from several dozen thousand players at once.

The Steel-armored Tank Blueprint was quite easy to obtain. When a Guild reached Level 5, the blueprint could be purchased at the Guild Store. However, forging this Steel-armored Tank was far more difficult.

Firstly, a Grandmaster-level Ironsmith was required to forge the parts.

Secondly, only a Grandmaster-level Master Engineer could put the parts together to form the Steel-armored Tank.

Li Yi had made all the necessary preparations this time. When he applied for Throne-claiming, he had already set Snickersnee to task forging the parts. For an entire month, Snickersnee did not do anything but focus on forging parts. Now, he had already forged several hundred parts.

“The tank’s axle, the tank’s cannon, the tank’s steel armor…”

The hundreds of tank parts were piling up into a mountain, but Snickersnee did not stop for even a moment, his large hammer clanking away.

When Snickersnee saw Li Yi enter, he just gave Li Yi a smile and continued to work his hammer.

He was the only person in the entire Little Drunk Cat Guild who could forge tank parts. As for his thousands of disciples, not a single one had his skill, so all they could do was help him smelt the steel and do other miscellaneous chores.

“You can stop after you do this one, we have enough parts now,” said Li Yi to Snickersnee after counted the parts that were scattered around.

“Alright!”

“Clang clang clang clang…”

Snickersnee swung his hammer a few more times, forging the final tank part.

The tank parts were relatively heavy, so Li Yi could not fit them into his Backpack. He had no choice but to assemble the Steel-armored Tank right there in the Smelting Workshop.

The Legendary Master Engineer got to work.

Li Yi’s hands twinkled with a red glow as he easily picked up the tank parts and began the assembly.

After a dozen minutes or so, a Steel-armored Tank that could accommodate 20 people at once was constructed before their eyes.

[Steel-armored Tank (blue quality)]

[Base HP: 500,000 (for every passenger, the tank’s HP will gain an additional 10,000)]

[Cannon ATK: 10,000]

[P-DEF: 30,000]

[M-DEF: 30,000]

[Mobility: 52]

…

“Whoa, it’s huge…”

The 20-seater Steel-armored Tank was about the size of a real-life bus. When Snickersnee’s disciples saw the completed Steel-armored Tank, all of them gasped in unison.

“It’s too bad that this tank’s of shoddy quality.”

He was a Legendary Master Engineer, but he could only craft a blue-colored Steel-armored Tank. Evidently, Li Yi was not very satisfied with that.

“Ding ding!”

Just as Li Yi was about to craft the second Steel-armored Tank, his inbox rang out.

Li Yi glanced at the message and burst out laughing.

The mail was from the Southern Continent’s Arthur, and it contained all of one word.

“Alliance!”
