Chapter 4252 The Step Pyramid
Not long after the second game ended.
The third match, "Stoneheart Knights vs. Undead Warhorses," also quickly came to an end.
It has to be said that with the help of the bunny girl to identify weaknesses and select card pools, the difficulty has been reduced to the extreme.
Only the first game was slightly more difficult.
Although the challenges in the entire unequal arena all followed the trajectory of "finding the mechanism and perfectly breaking it", the first match was still a little different.
In the other two matches, both were proactive attacks. Whether it was the Thorn Dancer dancing on the rocks or the Stoneheart Knight countering moves and riding his horse, the initiative was in their own hands.
The Void Raider is the only one that passively retaliates... requiring an absolute weakling to complete a near-suicidal reverse hunt in the face of a hidden Grim Reaper.
This is much more difficult than the other two.
However, there's no need to discuss the level of difficulty now.
Now that three matches have passed, Angel has also achieved a decisive victory in the arena!
"Three consecutive battles, but not a single one was lost, and he never went from being a participant to a participant on the stage."
"very good."
The masked referee stood silently to the side, his smooth porcelain face showing no ripples, but his eternal smile seemed to carry a hint of silent approval of Angell's "absolute insight".
"Although after today, gamblers will flock to the rooftop, I believe the gods care more about your appearance than those worthless lives."
"God above, we will meet again."
As the final words fell, the masked referee and the light screen card pool in mid-air all turned into streams of light and disappeared.
At the same time, Angell also felt a sense of rejection.
A strong force suddenly pushed him away.
He simply took a step back, and the space in front of him shattered into light and shadow, and he found himself in the main hall outside...
"Well done," the rabbit girl said with a smile as she walked up to Angel.
Angell snapped out of his daze: "Without you, I wouldn't have made it through this. I'm the one who should be thanking you."
The rabbit girl waved her hand: "No need to thank me, but I plan to enter the last white circle in the inner circle next... Judging from the nature of this challenge, I feel it's your turn to help me this time."
The challenges faced by Angell and the rabbit girl were almost misaligned; the rabbit girl could overcome the challenges Angell faced, and Angell could overcome the trials the rabbit girl went through.
Although this is not a definitive conclusion based on rigorous data, the bunny girl had a feeling that she might really fail in the next test if she relied on herself alone.
Angell laughed and said, "Don't worry, there's still almost an hour left in the countdown, and we only have one last challenge left. So I'm not in a hurry right now."
"This time, I'll guide you from the outside."
Angel was full of confidence; if he couldn't do it, he could always ask for help from outside help through God's perspective.
Rabbit Girl: "But I still hope that this time I can encounter a challenge that I can overcome."
The rabbit girl sighed.
Angell agreed, adding that he didn't actually want every challenge to be a mismatch...
Just then, light and shadow flickered in the inner circle.
Following the light and shadow, Angell and the rabbit girl saw a huge human figure projected onto the circle of light where Angell had just been.
The image projected was that of the masked referee.
It remains elegant.
Overall, there was no change, except that the comical facial features on the smooth porcelain surface revealed a devout expression.
Like a devout believer, he gazed with fervent and joyful eyes at the cocoon of light in the center...
Above its head appeared the maxim that Ingres had brought in: "I decipher shadows in order to hear the whispers of His abyss."
Neither Angor nor the rabbit girl were surprised by the appearance of this figure. This giant figure would appear within every clearing circle, and all of them wore fanatical expressions.
The appearance of masked referees was something they had expected.
Compared to the light and shadow of the masked referee, Angel and the rabbit girl were actually more concerned about... the cocoon of light.
Or rather, the pale golden halo beneath the cocoon of light.
That was the only golden spot among the nine spots in the entire hall, and it was also the last challenge spot that Angor would be going to later.
“I’m a little worried about the challenge at the golden spot,” the bunny girl whispered.
Previously, when Gray Porcelain and Gabriel were present, the rabbit girl couldn't bring herself to say such discouraging things. But now, with only Angor and her in the hall, she finally expressed her concerns about the golden spot.
“According to Normefens, the golden spot will definitely face the demon god’s divine will…” The rabbit girl looked at Angor: “In other words, the test at that spot is very likely to be given to you by the demon god’s divine will.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s from Him. For me, as long as it’s a test, there will always be a solution.” Angel wasn’t too worried, or rather, he couldn’t show his worry at this moment.
Rabbit Girl: "I know you can seek help from God's perspective... but if you really face the thoughts of a demon god, will He give you the opportunity to ask for help?"
"Perhaps He can see your authority..."
Angell: "It doesn't matter if they see it or not. Being in the Dream Crystal Plains, the authority I wield is definitely above theirs."
“That’s true, but it’s He who decides the outcome.” A hint of worry flashed in the rabbit girl’s eyes: “If He discovers your authority, even if you answer the question correctly, He might not approve.”
Angell fell silent.
What the rabbit girl said is indeed possible.
However, Angell personally believes in another possibility: the problem is predetermined and objectively exists. As long as the challenger can complete the problem, no matter how they complete it, even if they break the rules, it is still a success.
For those in positions of authority, getting things done is of utmost importance.
I didn't care that much about the process.
Some superiors even prefer unconventional methods of completion.
Therefore, Angell was not actually that worried.
So what if... so what if we don't pass?
If you can't get past the ordinary sealing array, then skip it and go straight to the second half: force-feeding knowledge of fantasy alchemy.
Angel believed that with his imaginary alchemical knowledge, he could still "seal" the demon god's thoughts.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the demon god's thoughts were not sealed, and the cruel scholar's true form was eventually attracted, there are still ways to deal with it.
...Angol's eyes inadvertently glanced at his right hand, where even amidst the six-layered platter, faint green veins were still emanating outwards.
Angell withdrew his gaze.
In short, although it may seem like there is only one path now, Angell actually has more than one path.
Therefore, compared to the rabbit girl's worries, Angel was quite relaxed.
“Let’s see how it goes,” Angel reassured her. “My intuition tells me that this sealing array won’t be the difficult part.”
Hearing Angel's words, the rabbit girl didn't say anything more, but took one last deep look at the golden dot and then sighed silently.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the gray porcelain hasn't been released yet?" Angell looked at the shimmering disc.
They discovered that the gray porcelain was still locked in a stalemate with the white lion female warrior.
On the other hand, Gabriel once again gained the upper hand in the second duel, and it is estimated that it will not be long before another figure of believers rises in the temple.
Rabbit Girl: "Don't worry about Gray Porcelain. It could actually win several times, but it seems to be adapting to the use of its talent in real battles, so it's deliberately dragging it out."
Angell: "???"
Are you sure you mean gray porcelain, and not Gabriel?
Rabbit Girl: "If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."
Angel actually started watching the battle between Gray Porcelain and the White Lion Warrior. Then he saw the White Lion Warrior unleash a rain of arrows, dense and numerous, like flying sand and stones.
Facing the barrage of arrows, Gray Porcelain showed no fear whatsoever. With his eyes half-closed, he weaved through the arrows like a tourist strolling leisurely down the street.
The White Lioness was furious at the sight and roared as she attacked relentlessly, while Gray Porcelain kept dodging.
It's worth mentioning that Gray Porcelain kept his eyes half-closed throughout the entire process.
Angor's eyes flickered: "Could it be that Gray Porcelain has entered some kind of talent state?"
When Gray Porcelain first described how it cleared the Myriad Realms Maze, it entered a special state, completely surrendering its body to its subconscious. In the end, it easily avoided the endless dangers and cleared the Wonderland of Trials first.
Angell felt that perhaps the gray porcelain of today was similar.
It might not be using this "leisurely stroll" to provoke the White Lion Warrior, but rather it has genuinely entered a special state of avoiding all danger.
Although the rabbit girl was unaware of what was going on, if Gray Porcelain had indeed entered some special state, then there was even less to worry about.
Its battle with the White Lion Warrior was virtually unbeatable.
Angell also agreed with this view.
“I’ll meet you outside later and check on Gray Porcelain while I’m at it.” Angell: “If it’s really in danger, or if it’s still not awake and doesn’t attack, then I’ll control the Nightmare Nodes left there to end their battle.”
The rabbit girl nodded. With Angor's Nightmare Node as a safety net, there was no need to worry too much.
"Then I'll go into the aperture now."
Angel nodded: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you from outside."
The rabbit girl nodded and stepped into the center of the sealing array.
There are three white dots and one gold dot.
Two of the three white spots have already been cleared by Angell, leaving only the last white spot remaining.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the last white spot.
With a sudden feeling of weightlessness, she found herself in a familiar black space...
……
Once the rabbit girl stood still, she immediately felt that her body was completely unable to move.
She was no stranger to this.
All the Rabbit Hole team members who participated in the challenge before had experienced similar situations; they were waiting for the "transition scene".
as predicted.
The rabbit girl discovered that a huge square area had suddenly begun to rise in the dark space directly in front of her.
There are also stone pillar lamps around.
"Why does this look so familiar?" the rabbit girl asked, startled. "Isn't this... the arena?"
Yes, following the inverted arena and the disparate arena, a new arena has appeared in the knowledge-based challenges.
Speaking of which, it seems that the three white dots in the inner circle are now all arenas?
Why are they all arenas?
Although the rabbit girl was puzzled, she didn't care too much and was actually quite happy.
Since an arena has appeared, it might be related to "battle" again. Whether it's recognizing the map or searching for cards, she can handle it!
The rabbit girl was eager to try.
But she discovered that when the arena was presented, her body was already restrained and still not freed.
Just as she was filled with doubt, another arena appeared in the very center of the square arena, only smaller than the first one, with its edges precisely aligned with the lower one, as if an invisible craftsman was meticulously building it.
Next came the third floor, the fourth floor...
They grow silently from nothingness, layer upon layer, without ceasing.
As the stone platform rises, the material seems to undergo subtle changes, gradually becoming smoother and even developing a cold, metallic sheen.
The excitement in the rabbit girl's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a solemn, breathless expression.
She watched as the arena ascended relentlessly into the endless darkness above. Finally, after the seventh level, a solitary, tiny platform came to rest at the very top of the entire structure.
At the top, there was a bright, dazzling halo.
At first glance, it looks like a pyramid with steps.
The moment the tower was finally completed, the invisible force binding her body vanished.
Clearly, the cutscene is over.
The real challenge is about to begin.
"So it wasn't a fighting arena after all?" the rabbit girl muttered to herself as she walked toward the tiered pyramid not far away.
She initially thought it was a fighting ring, but now it seems she misunderstood.
But just as she was thinking this, the text box, which had been silent until now, finally popped up with a message as she approached the pyramid.
"Why is there a mirror here?"
One speaking option.
Furthermore, as the speaking options appeared, the bunny girl discovered that she had been muted.
She didn't care about it, because she had a similar experience in the Triangle Magic Circle before.
However, the text column mentions "mirror," but where is there a mirror here?
The rabbit girl looked around and soon spotted a round mirror embedded in marble at the very bottom corner of the pyramid.
The rabbit girl slowly walked to the mirror.
Then, she saw her own reflection in the mirror.
"Why is there a mirror here?" She selected an option in the text box.
The moment the words were spoken, the mirror suddenly flashed with a bright light, which then rippled outwards like water.
Her reflection in the mirror was not distorted; instead, it became clearer and more solid.
Immediately afterwards, the "she" in the mirror no longer synchronized with her expression and eyes, but quietly maintained the posture of the previous moment. Only the corners of her mouth began to slowly and gradually twitch upwards, eventually outlining a smile that she herself would never show, a smile with a hint of lazy scrutiny.
"Welcome to……"
The person in the mirror spoke, their voice identical to hers, yet their tone was drawn out and unfamiliar. She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the mirror surface, as if touching the real rabbit girl from afar.
"...My arena."
