In his dreams. XD

Nie Li: Self-destruct technique? All I see is a win-win solution for me~ Unless I felt like having more allies.

Given how crazy the MC is, of course everyone's afraid he's gonna do crazy stuff.

Remember that the gate is simply a reenactment with no real effect to the real world, there's no point of it having a happier ending. Giving it a happy ending defeats the purpose of Hunters (or knights as they are now) coming into this gate.

Remember, in this world, EVERYONE but Leon died. There is no sacrifice, it was an imminent ANNIHILATION, the end of the human race in Leon's world.

That's what the past Leon is doing, paving the future for those who would leave the gate. Given that the future Leon is already alive, all the past Leon can do is give them EVERYTHING he can give so that they have a better fighting chance than his world had - just like Sir Geovrick did.

Say that line again - Shang Tsung style~

Oh, that's a safer method for Master Gu. He has some decent mind controlling methods after all.

I already knew Master Gu is a master of cutlivation disguise (nobody even suspects he is the demonic cultivator by any means unless he allowed them to know or they were already meant to know), but I didn't knew he'd resort to one of the most common tricks in the book - the art of disguise.

As expected of Maser Gu, never let the pawns get what you want. If you want it, its all DIY unlike the emcees with nothing but plot armor on them.

I don't think that's how the trial works. "If they leave the trial area, it automatically ends", something like that.

Wait, I thought she used magic?

Oh yes, its Tez. I missed that out. Neither Shirone nor Amy can teach Rian anything about Schema so... though I'd bet Amy could if she knew a thing or two about it though, given her lineage.

Given Shirone's talent and Amy as his partner, the Ogent patriach was more worried that Rian will cause trouble to Shirone instead. But the trip mainly benefits both Shirone and Rian, so I doubt they would have trouble talking some sense to him.

But IIRC, Rian didn't want to deal with her in the first place. If it only weren't his Schema incapability, he wouldn't invite her to begin with.

Exactly, a cringy, hypocrite emcee. Just another typical MC cliche and trope that the author can't wait to destroy.

Master Gu: *plays Here Comes the Money BGM*

I predicted that just a chapter ago about his hypocrisy. Now let's see how this loser hold up his word~

Master Gu: Fortune Values, baby~ Money, money, money~ Must be funny~ In a rich man's world~

And that emcee's a hypocrite to think that indirectly causing the deaths of two people can be forgiven by words alone. If he dares interrupt again, Master Gu will make sure not another rubbish comes out from his pathetic mouth.

Good point. Given the Gods were originally fickle and stingy, they saw promise in one person and the rest were benefitted from him.
