Chapter 572 Regaining the Black Tai Sui
Soon, the Daliang coalition forces were defeated.
Vision Lee led the Kingdom of Gold's mechanical army and advanced triumphantly, pushing the battle line to Daliang's western border. A large area that originally belonged to Daliang had already gotten rid of evil spirits and had just restored peace, but now it was plunged into war again.
The main storyline at this time continues to advance, naturally resisting the invasion of the Kingdom of Gold while trying to conquer the country.
As for counterattacking the Kingdom of Gold, forget it, that is a bit too far-fetched. Anyway, there is no possibility in the short term.
Zhuge Jun silently changed his team.
From the currently known information, there are two ways to obtain gold elemental power. One is fire elemental power, and the other is water element + time element.
The water element alone has no effect on the gold element, but if the time element is added, it will create a special "rust" effect.
When the enemy's gold weapon has the "rust" effect, although it will hurt more and cause additional corrosion damage, the enemy's gold element attribute enchantment will be quickly depleted.
In general, it can be considered a restraint relationship, but you must be careful to avoid the enemy's attacks.
In this case, if we choose from the current character pool, Ezio, who has the highest fire output, will definitely be selected, and Ningyun Zhenjun, who has time and wind elements, will also be selected.
The remaining two can be equipped with accessories. For example, you can use Xiyun or Major General Bingchuan to fetch water elements to spread to Master Ningyun, or you can bring a nurse who can add blood to increase the fault tolerance rate.
Wouldn’t the newly released Xie Gu come in handy?
But for Zhuge Jun, there was one thing that made him very unhappy.
Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan are still useless!
It can be used forcibly, but the earth element shield has no additional damage reduction rate against the gold element. Moreover, if you really encounter Vision Lee, who knows when the opponent will instantly use a big move and directly break the shield.
In that case, the two characters of Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan would be half useless, which would be very uncomfortable. It would be better to replace them with other characters.
In addition, what Zhuge Jun is more concerned about is how far the current plot has developed?
Why would Vision Lee appear in front of the mechanical life forms of the Kingdom of Gold? According to the setting of "Ascension", he and Li Huanzhen should be the same person, right?
Of course, if we really have to make a distinction, the Kingdom of Gold and the Kingdom of Earth are the same place in "Ascension", but in "Tales of Endless Fantasy 2" they have become neighboring countries.
With many doubts, Zhuge Jun began to advance the main storyline of this version.
The content is quite rich. Sometimes he has to go to the front line to put out fires, sometimes he has to go to the interior of the Earth Kingdom to find temporarily sealed powers, and sometimes he has to go deep into the territory of the Gold Kingdom to destroy key facilities.
In general, the area opened in the current version of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" can be seen as the main battlefield of this war.
For players who have not yet completed the Seventy-Seven Living Fathers side quest, they can freely switch between the two different timelines of the Land of Earth through the map mechanism.
Inside the Kingdom of Gold, Zhuge Jun also collected some text materials, and many settings began to gradually surface.
"so……
"The plot of Endless Fantasy Tales 2 actually continues the ending of Ascension: Sunrise Awakening?
"Although some details don't match up, judging from the result, this is clearly the ending!"
Zhuge Jun scratched his head and said, “But isn’t this ending universally recognized as the best ending?
“It doesn’t look very good now?
“No, no, it should be considered good, but the stance is different?
"Oh no, I feel a little confused!"
Zhuge Jun was a little confused for a moment.
There are five different endings for "Ascension", including "Relexit Cleanup", "Return to Nature", "New Life", "Ascension" and "Awakening from the Dream at Sunrise".
When players played "Ascension" before, they were very concerned about the ending, because no matter which of the four endings they chose, the two worlds would eventually be one good and one bad.
For example, in the "Ascension" ending, the player continues to devour flesh and blood monsters to increase his own strength, and eventually ascends to the fairyland and becomes the most powerful being.
In the world of immortals and heroes, it means that all life has been transformed into flesh and blood, and all of this flesh and blood has been absorbed by Li Huanzhen alone. The entire Jiangdu and even the entire Daliang have become a dead zone.
In the science fiction world, Vision Lee becomes Skynet, the collective will of all mechanical life, or a new technological life form.
Although the endings of these two worlds are essentially the same, they are just different in appearance, one is the fusion of flesh and blood, and the other is the fusion of machines, but the feelings they give to players are completely different.
Because in the Xianxia world, players see things from the perspective of humans, and think this is a bad ending;
From the perspective of the cyber world, players look at it from a mechanical standpoint and think that this is a good ending.
The first four endings of "Ascension" are roughly like this, because the protagonist's positions in the two worlds are naturally opposite, so no matter how hard the players try, they still feel imperfect.
It was not until the fifth ending, "Sunrise Awakens from a Dream", that it was considered a traditional happy ending. In this ending, the flesh and blood life in the fairy world was eradicated, and Li Huanzhen was alive and lived a normal life;
The intelligent machines in the cyber world were also preserved. Li Huanzhen integrated these intelligent lives and also became "Skynet", a new technological life form.
Li Huanzhen no longer suffers by traveling between two worlds. He seems to be really divided into two and lives happily in both worlds.
Logically speaking, this ending is indeed quite satisfactory, and most players are satisfied with it, thinking that it is suitable as a relatively harsh hidden ending.
Although a few players expressed doubts: Is this really a good ending? No matter how you look at it, the protagonist has gone completely crazy, right?
But most people still disagree with this statement.
After all, this world is already very dark, and Li Huanzhen is desperate enough, so let us all retain some beautiful fantasies.
But now, the plot of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" obviously matches this ending!
In the Land of Earth, the evil spirits were eliminated, the people lived and worked in peace again, and Li Huanzhen became a normal person again;
In the Water Kingdom, intelligent life has transformed into a new technological life form and integrated itself. Vision Lee has become Skynet itself.
But here comes the problem:
If Vision Lee from the cyber world comes knocking with integrated intelligent life, how should Li Huanzhen from Daliang respond?
This is the situation of the plot of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" at this time.
In the most extreme case, if the Earth Kingdom really couldn't hold out, and the Gold Kingdom destroyed the Earth Kingdom, all humans were killed, and the country became ruled by mechanical life, then wouldn't Li Huan be the biggest sinner?
After all, he eliminated all the evil spirits in the Earth Kingdom. If the evil spirits and the Xunxiang Sect were still there, although the people's lives would be a little miserable, at least they could rely on these evil spirits and the various tomb-guarding beasts in the mausoleums, as well as various monsters such as the crane-riding immortal to resist the invasion of the Gold Kingdom.
Of course, this idea is actually untenable if you think about it carefully, and in the plot of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2", it is actually the hero controlled by the player who kills the evil spirit, and it has nothing to do with Li Huanzhen.
But no matter what, the current situation is equivalent to a severe critical blow to the ending of "Sunrise Awakening".
Many people already felt that there was something wrong with this ending.
Now, this inappropriate feeling seems to have been officially recognized.
"That's right! There is a sequel to the ending of 'Sunrise Awakening'. The sequel is that the mechanical life forms invade Daliang. Li Huanzhen, who has lost his evil power, is beaten without any chance to fight back. Daliang is even likely to be destroyed by the army of mechanical life forms, and all humans and other creatures will die. The mechanical life forms will use Daliang as a springboard to continue attacking other countries!"
This is the information that the official plot is telling players at this time.
It completely tore off the warm veil of the only perfect ending of "Ascension" and dealt a critical blow to the players.
As the plot develops, Zhuge Jun discovers that the critical hits to the plot are not limited to this.
Li Huanzhen’s role is gradually getting heavier!
In the subsequent plot, the forces of the Earth Kingdom Daliang were mobilized, and Li Huanzhen naturally joined the battle at the first opportunity.
But after losing the evil power, Li Huanzhen's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Although he could still bounce the knife, use the power of the earth element, and master some talismans and Taoist magic, he no longer knew any of those evil magical powers.
For example, the original Record of Seeking Immortals.
The Immortal Seeking Record itself has many different uses. For example, the most basic function "Locust Stone". To activate it, you need to get the secret teachings and then let Black Tai Sui transform it. Since it is made of earth, it corresponds to the spleen among the five internal organs. You need to reach your left hand into the body and crush the spleen to get the ammunition for the Locust Stone.
When you have enough paper figures on you, you can consume them to use skills. If you don't have any paper figures, you can only consume your health points to use them.
If you consume your real spleen, its power will increase greatly, but it can only be used once.
In addition, the Mixianlu has many different functions, corresponding to the five internal organs and different body organs. In short, as long as you are willing to endure the pain, you can exchange it for corresponding powerful strength.
But with the complete disappearance of the evil spirit, the magical power of the Immortal Seeking Record naturally became mostly ineffective.
Li Huanzhen's abilities at this time were limited to the basic use of earth elemental power, bouncing knives, paper man substitutes, etc.
None of the powerful skills that could be used by consuming paper figures or real organs could be used.
Although Li Huanzhen was fighting hard, the situation was getting worse and worse.
As for asking for help...
Where to go for help?
The Fire Nation in the south and the Water Nation in the north are still watching Daliang covetously. If they see that Daliang is in trouble, they might send troops, but it will definitely not be to save Daliang, but to divide up Daliang's territory.
As for the Kingdom of Wood in the east and the Kingdom of Thunder in the northeast, they are unable to take care of themselves, and even if they come to support, it will not help turn the tide of the battlefield.
In this way, the greatest plot pressure still falls on Li Huanzhen.
