Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 413 Glib Lotus

The Abyss Overlord and the Necropolis Overlord experienced the same ordeal as Lin Bai.

The moment they exited the dream, their memories faded away.

These two supremely wicked bosses had no idea what had happened. In their minds, the battle had only just begun, yet everything in front of them indicated that the war was over.

What about the process? They didn't even understand how their soldiers had died. This terrifying feeling is like time being erased, or memories being wiped out.

The Abyss Overlord displayed an unprecedented seriousness, mixed with a hint of fear. He was the ruler of the world, yet he hadn't expected to still encounter matters beyond their comprehension.

...

The surviving Succubi and Dark Knights lapsed into panic:

"My Lord, what happened? How did they die?"

"Did we go through a battle?"

"It feels like there are gaps in our memories."

"Did the Heavenly King do it?"

"The Dream Heavenly Kings escaped, but the Thunder Heavenly King is still here. Let's catch him and we'll know…"

"But why did they attack the Thunder Heavenly King and then run away?"

"When did Lin Bai appear? Has he joined forces with the Thunder Heavenly King?"

"There was a stranger among those who escaped."

...

When they exited the dream realm, the Disguise Glasses were still in effect, and Lin Bai's Divided God continued posing as the Thunder Heavenly King.

Having lost their memories from the dream, everyone reverted to how things were before Lin Bai revealed his identity. The confusion reoriented everyone's hostility towards Lin Bai and the God of Darkness present at the scene.

Memory loss.

Lin Bai was also in a stunned state at the moment. With the Misty Forest shattering, the million-strong Skeleton Army dying instantly, and the escape of the Dream Heavenly Kings, he too didn't know what had happened.

But now, everyone's anger exploded in his interface. Lin Bai swiftly collected his maimed body and the God of Darkness into his Card. He then chose Xu Longyun as his target and activated Shadow Following, returning directly to the real world. He dived into the ongoing wedding, and in an instant, his magical power was sealed.

「At the same time.」

In the sky above the Misty Forest, Lin Bai's intentionally left-behind Divided God looked at the Abyss Overlord and the Necropolis Overlord and quickly declared, "Abyss Overlord, Necropolis Overlord, I declare that you two will marry on the spot. I will officiate your wedding..."

Although his memory was gone, his Skills were still there. When threatened, Lin Bai swiftly made the correct response, maximizing his benefits.

With the Wedding Domain, he could certainly take on ten enemies at once. Who needed allies or tactics?

The Necropolis Overlord's black cloak turned into a white wedding dress, revealing a snowy Skull Head and alluring shoulder bones. The clavicles were clearly visible, capable of holding an egg without issue.

Under the binding of the wedding dress, the Overlord's petite waist was no different from a queen bee's—a truly perfect figure without a trace of excess fat.

The Abyss Overlord donned a white suit, his long hair tied into a ponytail. He draped his arm around the arm of the Necropolis Overlord, his expression even more bewildered than before...

The Dark Knight took out a Bone Flute and, amidst piles of ruins and bone debris, played a melodious wedding march.

A wedding on the battlefield; the grand melody echoed next to the bodies of comrades, tragically beautiful and heroic.

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Bai smirked. The Wedding Domain really messes with people's minds!

「Just then.」

The Players who had rushed all the way to the Misty Forest finally arrived.

Then, everyone watched the bizarre wedding atop the ruins with bewildered faces, forced to join in.

Question marks filled the scrolling comments:

"Are the Necropolis Overlord and the Abyss Overlord getting married? My God, am I blind…"

"Where are the Dream Heavenly Kings?"

"When was the Misty Forest destroyed?"

"What happened? Weren't they in a stagnant state? Why are they getting married now?"

"Where's the dream?"

"Did we miss the big battle?"

"The Abyss Overlord looks as if he's eaten shit, but I have to say, the Necropolis Overlord wearing a wedding dress looks very enchanting!"

"Why are there weddings everywhere? What's the occasion?"

"Well, no time like the present, as they say."

"I initially thought the flying of the Love Principle and the absurdity of Separation of Love was enough, but I didn't expect to encounter something more ridiculous. Every sight is filled with weddings; we might no longer see energetic battles in the future."

"Why did Lin Bai choose to cultivate the Love Dao? Why not the Heavenly Dao! I hate weddings…" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Are you afraid that one day, you'll mysteriously end up married to a Player?"

"Honestly, I want to see the Abyss Overlord and Necropolis Overlord in their bridal suite…"

...

The wedding in the real world had reached the toasting phase, with the Body of the War God still hosting it.

「At this time.」

After Ye Song and Ye Lan finished their bows to heaven and earth, they went around the tables to toast the guests.

During this part, Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin monitored the live broadcast of the Star God and the Goddess of Love's wedding, occasionally making a comment or two.

The sudden appearance of the Thunder Heavenly King startled Xu Longyun.

Soon, the Divided God removed the Disguise Glasses, revealing Lin Bai's face. Xu Longyun sighed in relief, "My Lord, you're back! Did you defeat the Dream Heavenly King?"

"He escaped," Lin Bai said offhandedly.

"Escaped?" Xu Longyun paused, then consoled, "He escaped this time; we can catch him next time."

Lin Bai smiled at her and immediately operated his portable invisible camera, starting the playback. It didn't matter if the memories were lost; the tracking stealth camera had been recording continuously. Surely, the answers could be found in its footage.

The video image was projected.

All eyes around turned towards the image projected by the camera.

Xu Longyun asked, "My Lord, is this the battle in the dream realm?"

"Yes." Lin Bai let out a sigh of relief. Indeed, System Props would never let him down.

"The dream seamlessly transitions into reality. The Overlords didn't even notice they had entered a dream. Such a terrifying ability," Jiang Qingqin said. Even though she already knew of the Dream Heavenly King's capabilities, witnessing them firsthand was still stunning.

Lin Bai added, his memories returning as he watched the evidence unfold, "Not only do dream and reality transition seamlessly, but when the dream realm shatters, creatures that died in the dream also die in reality. Destruction in the dream also synchronizes with reality in an instant. Most importantly... all memories of the dream will be erased…"

"Memories will be erased?!" Several voices exclaimed in unison.

"Yes, they disappear. If it weren't for the recorder, I would have completely forgotten what happened in the dream," Lin Bai said.

"Memory loss in dreams means no one knows what happened in the dream, and the Dream Heavenly King, who retains his memories, will gradually figure out everyone's battle methods?" Xu Longyun said.

"Yes," Lin Bai sighed. "And even more terrifyingly, those killed by the Dream Heavenly King in dreams also die in reality. This invisibly creates immense psychological trauma for his enemies. If he fails in the dream, he can end it and start over at any time. Now I understand why the Dream Heavenly King is the leader of the Nine Heavenly Kings. What a formidable opponent!"

Everyone was silent.

"A terrifying enemy," the Little White Fox said. "Being his enemy, one might not even know how they die!"

Lin Bai didn't say a word; he chose to fast-forward.

Then, he saw himself draining the Thunder Heavenly King's Skills, witnessed the devastating techniques of the Abyss Overlord, the Gold Heavenly King's ability to control metal, and his Red String tying up the Dream Heavenly King...

Lin Bai paused again. When he came out of the dream, there was no Red String on the Dream Heavenly King, but he truly was one Red String short.

At the time, no one had helped untie it.

Meaning, the Red String should still be tied to the Dream Heavenly King's body in the dream. This is interesting.

Moreover, the wedding in the dream was forcibly interrupted. I wonder if the wedding will continue the next time the Dream Heavenly King enters a dream?

Back then, the Dream Heavenly King and his cohorts scattered after saying the code word. It was the perfect opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Striking while the iron was hot, Lin Bai instinctively wanted to activate Shadow Following, but within the Wedding Domain, his Skills failed to activate...

With a quiet sigh, Lin Bai turned his attention to the wedding of the God of Love and the Star God.

Gazing at the many divine spirits within the Temple of Earth, he considered whether to have a wedding amidst the wedding, quickly completing the task requirement.

However, doing so would mean he'd have no way out and could only become a public enemy.

No divine spirit would be stupid enough to be fooled a second time...

Lin Bai leaned against a pillar, leisurely savoring the wine in his cup while weighing the pros and cons.

Once the Wedding Domain is deployed, it suppresses everyone present. Therefore, when using the Wedding Domain, my true body must remain free, as its combat power is the strongest. There's also another key point: he wanted the Divine Statuses of the gods. Gathering all the divine spirits for a mass wedding isn't suitable. Otherwise, after the wedding, everyone would recover their divine power, and he still wouldn't be able to defeat their combined forces. He'd be trapped in an endless cycle of weddings. That's not the outcome he wanted. Besides, the Wedding Domain isn't activated instantly; it requires him to designate targets. If this weakness were exposed, no divine spirit would likely give him the chance to utter the wedding blessings. It would be best to separate them into pairs and, using the time lag of the weddings, defeat them one by one...

...

"Alliance Hierarch Lin, I noticed you were distracted just now. What are you thinking about?" The Earth Goddess, having completed her task, elegantly approached Lin Bai.

Lin Bai hadn't caused any disruption during the wedding, so she had temporarily let her guard down. She intended to pry some principles suitable for her from Lin Bai.

"I'm pondering the Dao," Lin Bai came back to his senses, raising a glass towards the Earth Goddess. "Byleth, seeing powerful divine spirits like the Goddess of Love and Star God unite has given me an insight. My Way of Love seems to have progressed further..."

"..." Byleth was stunned. She looked at the lively wedding, then at Lin Bai, completely unable to comprehend this method of cultivation. Her mind was blank. After a while, she finally managed to say, "Is this what they call an epiphany?"

"Yes, an epiphany," Lin Bai nodded.

"What did you realize?" the Earth Goddess asked.

"At the wedding, I gained a Divine Skill that allows me to make people marry. And, as has just been demonstrated, the Abyss Overlord and Necropolis Overlord are currently undergoing a sweet wedding ceremony officiated by me," Lin Bai laughed.

He didn't withhold any information; so many Players had seen the Abyss Overlord's wedding, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

At this moment, at the wedding venue deep in the Misty Forest, the Abyss Overlord and the Necropolis Overlord had already completed the ring exchange. Under the witness of the guests, they were hugging each other and swearing loudly.

The negative emotions of the two undead beings were churning like a tide in Lin Bai's mind.

In fact, from the start of the wedding, aside from the necessary procedures, the two of them had never stopped cursing Lin Bai...

Anyone forced to marry someone they didn't love would likely not be in the best of moods.

Not to mention the next part would involve a cheek-kiss; who knew if a Skull Head that has been around for tens of thousands of years would have a rotten smell?

"..." The Earth Goddess was stupefied into a forced smile. No matter how powerful a person was, after encountering Lin Bai, they would involuntarily make faces. At this moment, however, she couldn't care less about her image. "Did... did you just say that the Abyss Overlord and the Necropolis Overlord are... are getting married?"

The Earth Goddess felt her tongue getting tied; she was having trouble speaking fluently.

Lin Bai said, "Yes, they're getting married, Byleth. Don't be so surprised; you can ask any Player to confirm it."

"But weren't they fighting against the Dream Heavenly King?" The Earth Goddess forced herself to calm down.

"The war is over," Lin Bai said, spinning a yarn. "They suffered heavy casualties and, for some particular reasons, directed their anger over their losses towards me. To appease their emotions, I had no choice but to drag them into a wedding, intending to influence them with love."

The Earth Goddess turned pale and shook her head. "I can't imagine what a wedding between the Abyss Overlord and the Necropolis Overlord would look like."

"Byleth, you can see it for yourself. Distance should be no issue for you, right?" Lin Bai enticed, attempting to divert the Earth Goddess away from the wedding venue.

The sound of their conversation was loud, attracting the attention of numerous divine spirits.

"That's not right." The Earth Goddess finally came to her senses, looking at Lin Bai in astonishment. "Your Law can suppress both the Abyss Overlord and the Necropolis Overlord?"

She couldn't help but be nervous. The Abyss Overlord was her opposite, a being of the same level. If Lin Bai could use his Law to suppress the Abyss Overlord, it meant she too could not escape the same fate.

"Byleth, don't be so tense. The Law of Love is peaceful; I can't harm them during the wedding," Lin Bai explained. "Remember what I said before: in my eyes, all beings are equal. I can teach you to comprehend the Laws here, and similarly, I have an obligation to help the Abyss Overlord and the Necropolis Overlord comprehend the Laws. A wedding isn't just a simple wedding. Although the chance is slim, it's possible to attain enlightenment during it, just like I did."

Possessing the passive Glib Lotus, Lin Bai became much more cautious with his words. He no longer used definitive terms, opting instead for ambiguous phrases like 'slim chance' and 'possible.' He didn't want certain things he said to become reality. Even if they were to become reality, he wanted to minimize the probability. With Qi Yun on his side, his intentions in this regard should hopefully be realized.

"Enlightenment?" The Wisdom Goddess walked over. "What kind of enlightenment requires two men to marry? Is that still pure love? That's just absurd."

Lin Bai had persuaded her, but her guard against him was still up.

"Indeed, it's a bit absurd," Lin Bai rationalized speciously. "But at the time, the only one compatible with the Abyss Overlord was the Necropolis Overlord. I couldn't possibly let a Succubus marry him, could I?"

"But..." The Wisdom Goddess wanted to retort.

Suddenly, high-pitched screams emanated from the ceremonial stage.

Under the beautiful wreath, the Goddess of Love was covering her mouth and screaming, her eyes brimming with excitement.

Everyone's gaze simultaneously turned towards the stage.

"Alea, what happened?" the Earth Goddess frowned and asked gravely.

"Byleth, Alliance Hierarch Lin, I've achieved enlightenment! I've understood the Law of Love!" Tears of excitement gleamed in the Goddess of Love's eyes as she spoke tremulously.

"..." Lin Bai widened his eyes in disbelief. Damn, is Glib Lotus really that potent?!

The Earth Goddess paused for a second. She glanced at Lin Bai, then at the Goddess of Love, and asked tentatively, "Alea, did you comprehend the Magpie Bridge?"

"No, not Magpie Bridge!" Alea exclaimed, her words tumbling out incoherently. "It's wedding procedures! So many wedding procedures! This knowledge suddenly flooded into my mind. It's knowledge that doesn't belong to this world, but once it entered my head, it felt like I instinctively understood it all. It's incredibly magical..."
