Chapter 1806: God of Games
"Lend me your strength, Takishiro."
Lin Qiye gently sent this cartridge into the void.
Click—!
A crisp spring mechanism sound rang out from the void, as if an invisible game console had inserted this cartridge, followed by a faint startup hum!
【——Loading……】
As these words appeared in the air, countless light particles gathered and condensed into a gate.
The gate's appearance constantly shifted, as if stitched together from various different games—sometimes cartoonish colorful pixel art, sometimes a blood-red post-apocalyptic portal, sometimes a small food stall door with a "Open for Business" sign, sometimes a heavy metal door plastered with explosives……
【——Load Complete!】
The moment this text appeared, the doorknob suddenly turned!
A white-haired youth in white stepped out from behind the door, smiling. Countless game data swirled like a vortex behind the gate. As his body crossed the threshold of this game door, the data crystallized into flesh, his feet landing firmly on the ground. Those cross-shaped star-like eyes gleamed brightly.
"I'm here, Brother Seven Nights." Yuzuri Takishiro said softly.
Lin Qiye stared blankly at Yuzuri Takishiro radiating divine realm aura, and at the gate behind him that connected the game world to reality. For a moment, he was taken aback.
This entrance was rather beyond his expectations.
"How do you feel?" Lin Qiye asked.
"Great." Yuzuri Takishiro took a deep breath, confidence radiating from every fiber of his being. "I've never felt better."
"The Sun God Apollo and the Mythic Killing Formation he's presiding over—can you handle it?"
"No problem."
Yuzuri Takishiro nodded with certainty.
Lin Qiye hummed in acknowledgment, then removed the [Divine Calamity] from his waist and held it before Yuzuri Takishiro. "I've kept it safe for you all this way. Now, it's time for you to take it back."
Yuzuri Takishiro looked at the black-gold longsword, then shook his head. "Brother Seven Nights, I'm just a character who walked out of a game. Even if I take this blade, it can't return to the game world with me. From now on, you should keep it."
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before tucking [Divine Calamity] back.
"Alright…… stay safe."
Yuzuri Takishiro smiled, then looked up at the divine mountain connecting with the crimson star. His white hair fluttering at his ankles, he stepped onto the mountain ascent.
Lin Qiye watched his departing figure, then turned toward the Sea God Mountain.
The two figures—one white, one red—gradually vanished into the starlight.
……
Yang Shen Mountain.
Nine sky-reaching stone pillars stood atop the summit.
Above the central pillar, a massive sacred chariot hovered in mid-air. Apollo sat at the front of the chariot, his gaze coldly fixed on the direction of the mountain ascent.
After a moment, as if sensing something, he let out a soft hum of surprise.
"He actually didn't go to Poseidon?"
A figure walked out from the starlight. Bewilderment flickered in Apollo's eyes.
There were only three Chief Gods from Great Xia this time. According to their original plan, one of the four divine mountains was bound to be left empty. As long as they waited for Lin Qiye to make his final choice of which mountain to ascend, the remaining divine mountain could immediately teleport all the Human Apex there and annihilate them with the Mythic Killing Formation! The Human Apex were, after all, not gods. Their combat power fell far short of human deities, and they lacked the ability to slay gods. As long as they were drawn into the Mythic Killing Formation, death was certain.
The Angel of Silence and the Mind God had respectively ascended to the Hidden God Mountain and the Wine God Mountain. Following Apollo's original assumption, the final Lin Qiye should have gone to the Sea God Mountain, since Apollo had no grudge against Lin Qiye—but Poseidon was practically overflowing with animosity.
He had already prepared to annihilate the Human Apex, but unexpectedly, yet another person had come up the mountain.
The figure stepped out from the starlight and onto the summit of Yang Shen Mountain. When Apollo saw the tall, white-haired youth, he froze. The confusion in his eyes deepened.
Who was this?
He wasn't among the eight sent to infiltrate Olympus, was he?
"Sun God Apollo?" Yuzuri Takishiro stared directly at the figure above the stone pillar, speaking calmly. "Your panel isn't all that impressive either."
Hearing these words, Apollo was stunned.
"What panel?"
The next instant, the void above his head rippled. A red health bar and a blue divine power bar appeared simultaneously. Below the two bars, there was even a dense string of icons.
"【Sun God's Body】, 【Faith Blessing】, 【Formation's Eye】, 【Depleted Solar Essence】……"
Apollo's gaze blankly swept across these icons. Each time he looked at one, an introduction panel would automatically appear before him, clearly describing his status and buffs.
After a brief moment of confusion, an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on Apollo's face!
The information on these panels was far too detailed. Some of it he hadn't even been aware of himself…… But now, it had appeared before him in this utterly inconceivable form!
"What did you do??" Apollo roared in fury.
He looked at Yuzuri Takishiro, only now noticing that the other also had similar panels above him. However, the difference was that Yuzuri Takishiro's health bar, divine power bar, and all buff states were marked [Unknown]. Whenever his gaze lingered on one of the statuses, an encrypted panel would pop up.
—No Permission.
"I simply brought the rules of the game world into this battlefield." Yuzuri Takishiro spoke calmly. "All your abilities will be displayed before me in data form. Before me, you have no secrets."
"Game world?" Bewilderment spread across Apollo's face. "Then what about you? Why can't I see yours?"
Yuzuri Takishiro smiled faintly. "A BOSS's panel is always more mysterious…… Isn't that right?"
Apollo didn't understand what Yuzuri Takishiro meant, but that didn't prevent him from simply attacking. As mysterious patterns lit up across the surfaces of the nine stone pillars, a brilliant sun spontaneously ignited behind the chariot he sat upon!
At the same time, above the other eight stone pillars, golden chariots carrying suns also materialized. Nine suns burned fiercely, as if they would scorch everything on the mountaintop to ash!

As lines of text floated before Yuzuri Takishiro, the cross-shaped star-like eyes clearly reflected the shadow of this mythic killing formation.
His lips curved upward slightly.
"So that's how it is…… It seems this restriction isn't as powerful as I thought."
