Chapter 838 Scorched Earth Parliament
The Scorched Earth Council is located outside the realms, in the void.
Looking at this place from a distance, it looks like just a floating island of dry rocks.
But this island has no exit or entrance...
At least in this universe, there is no physical way to reach this place.
However... there are still some special creatures who can come here through some special methods.
On this day, two archangels, four knights, two demons and a demigod gathered here.
"I don't understand... why we have to spend time here with these dirty demons." At this time, one of the archangels, Tominius, was pacing anxiously and complaining to his compatriots.
"Watch your words, my brother." Another archangel Uriel said in a deep voice, "In the Scorched Earth Council, even the Holy Spirit must maintain due humility."
"Well said, Uriel, you really should discipline your little brother who just reincarnated from the Underworld Sea." Vincent, who was standing a few meters away and chatting with Woody, turned his head maliciously and interjected, "If he keeps talking nonsense like this... maybe he will be plucked and thrown back into the sea again."
Before he finished speaking, Woody, who was beside him, laughed obscenely and cast a malicious look at the two angels.
"Hmph..." Uriel was not intimidated by the words of the two devils. He snorted coldly and replied, "... It's not your turn to teach me how to do things. And... please stop eavesdropping on our conversations."
"Eavesdropping?" Vincent smiled, "He spoke so loudly... blame me?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Tominiens was not afraid at all and responded in a provocative tone.
Two seconds after he finished speaking, Vincent suddenly showed an anxious expression, pretending to pace back and forth for a few steps, then raised his head and said to Woody in a complaining tone: "I don't understand... why are we wasting our breath here with these stupid angels?"
"Hehehe... Watch your words, bastard." Woody replied with a smile. "In the Scorched Earth Council, even the devils have to maintain their due moral integrity."
These two guys are worthy of being the most shameless and tacit partner of the "Four Hells". These two improvisations... the acting is natural, the lines are clever, and without any rehearsal, they made a perfect irony based on instant reaction.
"I've heard that you two are the most mean-mouthed people in hell. Today, it seems... your reputation is well-deserved." Tominiens also sarcastically counterattacked.
"Thank you."
"Hehehe... Thank you."
Facing the obvious insults from the other party, the two guys did not feel ashamed, but proudly accepted it with a smile.
"Ha... Very good, keep arguing, it's better to fight... Fight until both sides are injured and die together." The knights who were watching this confrontation "war" from a distance suddenly laughed excitedly.
"Brother Zhan. How big of a grudge do you have..." Mr. You wiped his bald forehead with a handkerchief, and continued with a sweaty face, "I was bullied so badly by them back then, but I didn't..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhan didn't let Fatty You finish his words, and shouted loudly, "What's there to say about your personal grudges?" He counted quickly on his fingers, "Think about our situation... 'Judgment Day' has been over for more than half a century, and none of the seals have been broken; the original 'Candidate Game' has been turned into an online entertainment activity..." He raised his hand and pointed at Vincent and Woody. "All of this was caused by the four idiots!" He seemed very irritable, "What's next? Let's let the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse form a heavy metal band and go to the human world to release an album or something?"
"Uh cough... cough..." Master Plague interrupted at this time, "I declare in advance... I can't be the lead singer."
"Sing your uncle! Do you understand the sarcasm?" Zhan immediately turned around and shouted, "Do you really want to go!"
"War..." At this time. The oldest of the four knights, "Death", also spoke up, "As the Lord of the Plague, I want to warn you solemnly... You'd better be careful when you use the word 'Lord' to refer to the Plague in the future. Otherwise, I will 'replace' you."
"Well, I was wrong." The next second, War instantly put on a poker face. He respectfully admitted his defeat.
"Your mood changes are a little too fast..." Seeing this, even Mr. You couldn't help but complain.
"Alas... a bunch of idiots..." The only female knight present, "Famine", was too lazy to pay attention to those guys, and stood alone in the distance, shaking her head and sighing.
Just as the nine people were talking, suddenly... several figures suddenly appeared in front of the high round table of dry rocks.
"Oh? Is it finally here..." Vincent turned his head and looked, "Scorched Earth Parliament..."
"Hehehe... It's always late..." Woody laughed.
Except for these two guys who were more talkative, the other seven did not comment on the arrival of the parliament, but they all changed their expressions and looked at the round table with a solemn look.
"Everyone..." Soon, those figures said in unison, "I asked you to come here this time because I have something to tell you..."
"Hehe... If it's just one thing, why not send an email?" Woody interrupted with a smile.
The Voice of Parliament ignored him and continued: "According to our observations during this period, whether they are present or not present...all the 'betters' have placed their bets on this 'candidate game' A certain degree of inappropriate interference. Although Simon has prevented your violations to the greatest extent, the impact of some 'small actions' is still playing a role."
"Tch... despicable."
"Hmph...shameless."
Vincent and Woody turned to look at the other seven people with disdain on their faces.
"You two are also in the category of 'everyone'! You are so arrogant!" Zhan Zhan really wanted to slap these two shamelessly, but it was not convenient for him to do so.
A few seconds later, the voice of the parliament continued: "Therefore, the parliament decided... to use this second 'Peak Hegemony' to completely eliminate these effects and return this 'candidate game' to a fair situation."
"Then what exactly does the council plan to do?" Uriel asked immediately.
"First of all, all punters will be prohibited from entering Thriller Park and its connected spaces." The voice of the parliament continued.
"Hehehehe... not even me?" Woody asked with a smile, "I am also the boss of Dream Company and the chief game designer. I do routine maintenance and inspections and so on..."
"No." The voice of parliament interrupted Woody decisively and gave a clear answer.
"Tch..." Woody spat unhappily, "Okay."
"Secondly..." the voice of the parliament continued, "Starting from the second stage of Summit Contest S2, the rules will be formulated by the parliament." They paused, "Woody, you will cooperate with us in executing them."
"Okay~ You can do whatever you want..." Woody had clearly shown an impatient attitude.
"Third... All information except the two above... are unavailable." The voice of the parliament continued, "Okay... I'd like to bother you all to make this trip. Please convey these words to others as soon as possible." Bettors." After that, they seemed to be leaving.
"Wait a minute!" At this time, Tominius suddenly said, "You just said 'all punters are prohibited from entering', but what if the punters instigate those high-ranking beings who have not placed bets to enter the game?" As he asked, he glared at Vincent and Woody. It was obvious that the archangel immediately thought of the tricks the devil might play.
"Tominius..." The chorus-like voice of the voice of the Parliament was able to maintain a unified tone. At this time, they asked in unison in a strange tone, "Don't forget... There is also a referee.”
Hearing this, Tominius looked slightly startled.
"If the situation you mentioned really happens, then..." the voice of the parliament continued, "Simon will undoubtedly use the simplest and most direct method to deal with these 'problems'." (To be continued. . )
