Chapter 1715 1715: Stop Talking Nonsense!
"Life should not be enslaved by any race in the world."
This statement came from the mouth of the Martial God and was also the most frequently spoken line by the old hermit to Wang Yu since he became a full-time martial artist. It represents the goal that the Martial God pursued throughout his life.
As the heir of the Martial God, Wang Yu had never met this so-called master, but the Martial God's beliefs had been engraved in Wang Yu's heart through Hermit's teachings.
<<Rebirth>> is just a game, but for Wang Yu, who loves this game, it is another world. The Martial God's pursuit is also Wang Yu's faith, and it represents the ultimate limit for a martial artist standing between heaven and earth.
No one wishes to become someone else's servant or lackey, especially since Wang Yu, as a martial practitioner, has pride and confidence ingrained in his very being, naturally unwilling to become a servant...
Let alone someone like Reis, a Son of the Holy Spirit; even the Light God King Luke would find himself under Wang Yu's foot, realizing who the true master of this world is.
Moreover, what kind of game is this?
"Rebirth!"
The character of the game designer is well-known; how could there be such a thing as a pie falling from the sky? Even if it did, the pie would surely be filled with poison.
It should be noted that Wang Yu is currently in the Neutral faction, and neither the Dark faction nor the Light faction would actively provoke the Neutral faction.
Even if Wang Yu were to take down both the Son of the Holy Spirit and the Lord of the Demons, the final conflict would still be between the Dark and Light factions.
If Wang Yu were to join the Light faction now, it would basically mean betraying the Neutral faction.
The powerful beings in the Neutral faction are like free-spirited clouds and wild cranes, and they wouldn't care about Wang Yu. However, all the main cities under Wang Yu's control are currently part of the Neutral faction; if he joins the Light faction, he risks losing control of those cities directly through the game system.
Given the shameless style of the game designer, such things are certainly not surprising. The game's principle is that there are no guarantees of rewards for effort, and without effort, there will definitely be no return.
Joining the Light faction would make Wang Yu an enemy of the Dark faction, and his friends in the Neutral faction, such as the Quan Zhen Sect, would also be separated by faction barriers. Leaving that aside, based on Wang Yu's past actions, joining the Light faction would likely make him a target of the Light faction as well.
After all, the number of named divine bosses that have perished under Wang Yu's hands has already reached double digits, including the Light God King Luke. How could such a rebellious fellow join the Light faction? Ridiculous!
The idea of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a deity does not work in the Church of the Light God; their first doctrine is that believers gain eternal life, while non-believers go to hell. The fate of someone like Wang Yu, a god-slayer, is easy to imagine.
Even if Reis truly wanted to recruit Wang Yu, this pitfall is one that Wang Yu cannot jump into.
"You dare to refuse the great Lord Reis?"
Seeing Wang Yu's choice, Reis's smile froze, and a trace of anger and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
It was evident that Reis believed that as a higher-up, extending an olive branch to Wang Yu was a great favor, and such a lowly ant as Wang Yu should be grateful. Refusing such an offer was unthinkable.
"Hmph!"
Wang Yu replied, "The choice is mine; who do you think you are?"
"Are you really sure you want to be enemies with the gods?" Hearing Wang Yu's words, Reis slowly stood up, glaring at Wang Yu seriously.
"Smack!"
With a casual wave, Wang Yu transformed his boxing gloves into a long pole, striking it down onto the floor beneath Reis, causing stone chips to fly, signaling his answer through action.
"Haha!"
Seeing this, Reis laughed loudly, declaring, "You insignificant ant; Lord Reis gives you an opportunity, and you refuse it. Don't blame me..."
"Thud!"
Before Reis could finish his sentence, Wang Yu thrust the pole forward, perfectly jabbing it into Reis's mouth, forcing the words back down his throat.
"Damn it!" Wang Yu complained, digging into his ear with his pinky finger, "Why does this god boss have so much nonsense? If we're going to fight, can't we do it quickly?"
Exactly! When he had fought the other two angels earlier, Wang Yu had already employed this tactic. Now, this Reis was also chattering on, prompting Wang Yu to use this "silence" move again, one he was reluctant to resort to.
"Who knows? Maybe the designers just wanted to add some ambientance."
With a sense of helplessness, Fearless responded and then issued a command in the team channel: "Hit him hard!"
The team had already harbored grievances against Reis, who had almost tricked them to death, and now he was buzzing around like a fly, which only added to their frustration. With Fearless's attack order, Crotch Lord rushed forward, raising his shield.
"Insignificant mortal, accept the judgment of the gods!"
Wang Yu's "silence" skill, used to block Reis's talk, was not legitimate; aside from interrupting Reis's chatter, its greatest effect was to infuriate Reis.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light enveloped Reis, forcing Wang Yu's pole back. Reis then roared, crossing his arms in the air, and a massive cross flew straight towards Wang Yu.
Dodging the cross was easy for Wang Yu, but right behind him were the members of the Quan Zhen Sect. This was an attack from a god-level boss; while Wang Yu could evade, the others might not be able to. If Wang Yu dodged, his companions would surely be hit.
At that moment, a gust of wind sounded as Crotch Lord rushed to Wang Yu's side, raising his shield in front of him.
"Clang!!"
The massive cross struck Crotch Lord's shield with a tremendous noise.
Crotch Lord was pushed back several steps by the force. Although he managed to block this skill, he turned pale.
Damn, this skill wiped out Crotch Lord's block value, and he almost lost his shield. It turns out that a level 100 god-level boss is not something just anyone can tank; its power is indeed formidable.
"Get lost, ants!"
BOSS-level beings like the Son of the Holy Spirit have quite high intelligence. Although the Holy Light Cross wasn't a high-level skill for Reis, having his attack blocked by a mere human like Crotch Lord hurt his pride.
Crotch Lord, still shaken, saw Reis extend his right hand, fingers positioned like a blade. Golden holy light instantly coalesced into a sword over a meter long, slashing down toward Crotch Lord's shield.
Having just taken a hit from Reis, Crotch Lord's block value was already depleted. If he took another blow, he and his shield would probably be cleaved in two.
However, Crotch Lord calmly took half a step back, a beam of golden light cascading down, enveloping him within it.
