Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 418 Skills Conflict Caused BUG

Lin Bai had a detailed overview of the wedding process in his mind. He knew which would end first and which would end last. Indeed, the wedding of the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Dead concluded before that of the Earth Goddess. The time difference was too great, and there were too many weddings, making such overlaps inevitable. The Wedding Domain was acquired later, so Lin Bai couldn't possibly have planned everything in advance. Fortunately, before the wedding of the Lord of the Abyss ended, he could gather a batch of Divine Statuses. Dealing with the Lord of the Abyss should not be a major issue.

Lin Bai split off several more Divided Gods and stuffed Divine Statuses into their bodies. These Divine Statuses were primarily from the Star God and the God of Darkness. The Divine Status of the God of Love was auxiliary and didn't play a significant role in direct, hard-fought battles. He needed to operate the actions of the Divided Gods. Despite Lin Bai's formidable spiritual power, he could only precisely control six or seven Divided Gods at once. If the number exceeded this, the Divided Gods would become dull and slow to react. However, when precision control wasn't required, commanding all the Divided Gods to perform simple actions posed no problem.

The divine power of a Divine Status was related to faith. The faith Lin Bai derived from the Idol System was universally applicable among all Divine Statuses and wouldn't weaken with an increase in their number. Therefore, theoretically, as long as Lin Bai wasn't bothered by the trouble, he could use Divine Status-empowered Divided Gods to form a somewhat rigid Divine Spirits Army, capable of striking any designated target and wreaking havoc.

The gods watched as Lin Bai created numerous similar divine beings in a short time, which dampened their spirits even further. This was especially true when Lin Bai commanded more than a dozen Star Gods to simultaneously cast the Star God's ultimate move—Star Array. A dense starlight sealed all surrounding space and blasted a ten-mile-wide crater in the ground. The earth trembled slightly, and witnessing this, the gods all gulped, further affirming that their earlier decision to surrender had been correct.

The War Goddess's expression finally changed. Her believers were mostly generals and soldiers. If Lin Bai formed such a Divine Spirits Army, the impact on them would be colossal. If she lost her believers, she would be nothing!

At this moment, the wedding of the River God, Bolo, and the Spring Goddess, Kabol, concluded. Under the envious or angry gazes of the other gods, the two flew into the sky to receive Lin Bai's seal. As agreed, Lin Bai gave them Enlightenment Pills, helping them regain their sanity. The two joyfully thanked Lin Bai and stood with Alea.

"Alliance Hierarch Lin, this isn't fair! The number of Enlightenment Pills is limited. What will we do if there are none left when it's our turn?" Mountain Divine Ovide asked with concern, looking enviously at Bolo, who had been the first to emerge from a wedding.

"Ovide, don't worry. I have plenty of Enlightenment Pills. I tricked you when I said there were only thirty-six. It was merely to create a tense atmosphere." Lin Bai glanced at the remaining Enlightenment Pills; there were only ten left. If he kept one as a 'seed' for cultivation, only nine would be usable. But this didn't stop Lin Bai from boosting morale. As long as he collected all the gods into cards, who would care if they regained their sanity? From start to finish, all he wanted were Divine Statuses and useful pawns. Of course, if the Peerless Divine Doctor System reached its highest level and he managed to decrypt the mysteries of the Enlightenment Pill, helping them recover their sanity wouldn't be out of the question. Then he could truly keep his word.

After Lin Bai said this, all the gods fell silent. This guy was truly despicable! But what followed was joy; even the Earth Goddess inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. Hadn't their main worry all along been the limited number of Enlightenment Pills and their inability to recover their sanity? Now, everything was fine! Although Lin Bai had deceived them, the truth was that there were plenty of Enlightenment Pills. They just needed to wait peacefully for their weddings to end and then surrender.

The Child of the Wind watched Lin Bai high in the sky and sighed inwardly. This tactic of initial pressure followed by reassurance... Lin Bai is dismantling the gods' hostility towards him step by step. His manipulation of human hearts is terrifyingly precise. Perhaps I should consider starting over completely.

Subsequently, the weddings of the Sky-supporting God and the Goddess of Art, and the Craft God and the Goddess of Order, successively concluded. The four ecstatically flew from their weddings into the sky, accepted their fate of being sealed, swallowed Enlightenment Pills, and recovered their sanity. Seeing Lin Bai generously providing Enlightenment Pills to every god who surrendered, all the gods completely put their minds at ease.

At this moment, Lin Bai noticed that the tracking marks of the Dream Heavenly King and the other two Heavenly Kings were swiftly moving towards the Misty Forest. After a moment's thought, Lin Bai understood their intention. They're just trying to buy time and interfere with my subjugation of the Lord of the Abyss... It had to be said, this was currently the most advantageous decision these Heavenly Kings could make. But now, I've gained so many useful subordinates. It's too late for any of their schemes.

"Bolo, Ransom, Brolle, do me a favor," Lin Bai said to the three male gods, which included the River God and the Craft God.

"Please command us, Alliance Hierarch," the three replied quickly, somewhat flattered and surprised.

"Enter the cards and get ready for another wedding," Lin Bai ordered with a faint smile.

The three male gods forced smiles, their expressions somewhat stupefied. We've already pledged allegiance. What does getting married again mean?

"To be precise, I need you to use weddings to trap a few enemies. I'm about to deal with the Lord of the Abyss, so those troublemakers need to be tied down," Lin Bai patiently explained. In the presence of many future subordinates, Lin Bai showed great humility.

Huh? Trap enemies with a wedding? The three male gods exchanged glances, subconsciously looking at the ground. Alright, a wedding could indeed be used this way... What a bizarre method of combat...

"There won't be any danger," Lin Bai said.

"We are willing to serve the Alliance Hierarch," the three said in unison. This was their chance to prove their worth; besides, they had no way to refuse.

"Thank you for your trouble." Lin Bai nodded at them. With a wave of his hand, he collected them into cards. The dazed Star God Trelayus was also collected along with them. In front of everyone, Lin Bai placed the four cards, now containing the sealed gods, into the hands of four Dark Avatars. Then, he commanded each Dark Avatar to use Shadow Following to intercept a different Heavenly King.

The first to be intercepted was the Water Heavenly King. He was using Flash repeatedly, hurrying towards the Misty Forest with a Player, intending to rendezvous with the Dream Heavenly King and the others. Suddenly, Lin Bai's Dark Avatar appeared soundlessly behind him, instantly shrouding him in a Dark Space. The Water Heavenly King instinctively activated his defenses, shielding himself with a water curtain. But the Dark Avatar didn't attack him. Instead, it released the River God, Bolo, who loudly declared, "Water Heavenly King, you will now proceed to the wedding hall with Bolo and complete your wedding within this Dark Space..."

"No!" The Water Heavenly King shrieked in horror. He hadn't expected Lin Bai to be so shameless as to use a wedding against him. Wedding attire instantly draped over him, and he, along with the tuxedo-clad Bolo, fell to the ground.

Simultaneously, the Dark Space vanished. Lin Bai's Dark Avatar stood opposite the pair, observing the wedding scene, which consisted of only four people. He laughed and said, "Water Heavenly King, although the setting is a bit makeshift, I must still congratulate you on finding a lifelong companion."

The Player looked utterly baffled and reflexively started a live broadcast. "Guys, change of plans! The Water Heavenly King has been intercepted by Lin Bai with a wedding! He might not make it!"

The Water Heavenly King's facial muscles twitched as he stared at Lin Bai in disbelief. "How did you find me?"

"Anyone I've marked cannot escape my grasp," the Dark Avatar said with a smirk. "Now, be good and get married. Once I'm free, I'll deal with you all, one by one."

With that, Lin Bai's consciousness withdrew, leaving the Dark Avatar to automatically officiate the wedding. It no longer responded to any of the Water Heavenly King's curses.

Next was the Fire Heavenly King. It was the same routine. Using Shadow Following, the Dark Domain enveloped him. The Dark Avatar then released the god from the card and announced their marriage. As long as a Dark Avatar wasn't instantly eliminated, it had the opportunity to declare a wedding. No one could escape Lin Bai's sanction.

The Gold Heavenly King proved a bit more troublesome, his attacks sharp and fierce. The moment the Dark Avatar appeared, the Gold Heavenly King unleashed a super ultimate attack, similar to the Thunder God's reward. The pervasive sword qi nearly insta-killed the Dark God's Avatar and Puppet Trelayus. However, the Dark Avatar was only nearly insta-killed. Enduring the relentless sword qi, it still managed to drag the Gold Heavenly King into a wedding, suppressing his explosive power.

The unexpected incident occurred with the Dream Heavenly King. Just as a Dark Avatar, using Shadow Following, appeared behind the Dream Heavenly King and began to activate the Dark Domain, Lin Bai (his consciousness controlling the avatar) was drawn into the Dream Heavenly King's daydream, finding himself seemingly back on the battlefield in the Misty Forest. By the time Lin Bai's consciousness cleared, Ruyi was already floating above the Dream Heavenly King's head. Then, the Dark Avatar itself was also pulled into the dreamscape.

It had to be said, the Dream Heavenly King's instant dream manifestation was the perfect counter to all abilities with a casting time; he could always create an opportunity to activate his Dream Domain. His only weakness was his lack of offensive power. Otherwise, that skill which instantly plunged people into dreams would be enough to severely wound any enemy.

After entering the dreamscape, a strange scene unfolded. Before Lin Bai (via the Dark Avatar) could speak, he saw that the Dream Heavenly King in the dream was still bound in the same Turtle Shell Binding as before. If it were just the binding, that would be one thing, but he was also wearing a pure white wedding dress. Moreover, perhaps due to overlapping dreams or the previous wedding not being completed, several others were also drawn into this dream, continuing that prior ceremony: the tuxedo-clad Gold Heavenly King, Lin Bai's primary consciousness (manifested as an avatar in the real world, now also in the dream), the best men (Water Heavenly King and Fire Heavenly King), and the bridesmaids (the Succubus and the Face Spider). Even the original wedding guests were pulled back in, including the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Undead. The only difference this time was that the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Undead, attending as guests, were also dressed in wedding gowns and tuxedos, as were the Water Heavenly King and Fire Heavenly King. The wedding was filled with brides and grooms.

What in the world? Lin Bai was taken aback but soon realized what was happening. In reality, the physical bodies of the Lord of the Abyss, the Water Heavenly King, the Fire Heavenly King, and others were still in their respective weddings, marrying the partners Lin Bai had assigned them. However, each of them had lost their consciousness, going through the wedding proceedings like mindless zombies, dazed and confused.

It's a bug! A glitch! Lin Bai was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. The wedding of the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Undead is about to end! As long as their consciousness remains trapped in this dream, dealing with their defenseless physical bodies in the outside world will be incredibly easy! I can't let the Dream Heavenly King end this dream! I truly am the legendary Son of Destiny; such fortunate circumstances always seem to find me!

"What's going on?!" the Dream Heavenly King roared, his eyes bloodshot. He was on the verge of madness. He'd never imagined his dream realm could spin out of his control like this, forcibly resuming a previous dream! And that damned Red String! It hadn't vanished when the previous dream shattered; it was still binding him!

"Boss Dream, what's happening?" the Gold Heavenly King asked, equally astonished as he looked around. "How did we resume the previous dream?"

"I was clearly ambushed by Lin Bai outside and was in the middle of marrying some man! Why am I back here?" the Fire Heavenly King frowned. "Boss Dream, did you get a new skill pack or something?"

"You idiot! This is obviously Lin Bai's doing! Would Boss Dream create a skill that ties himself up with a Red String?" the Water Heavenly King retorted, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot as he glared fiercely at Lin Bai's Dark Avatar.

"Lin Bai was pulled into the dream by Boss, but his wedding is still going on outside. Whose ability is actually in effect here?" the Fire Heavenly King asked in astonishment.

The Lord of the Abyss hadn't retained his memories of the recent past and, like the Lord of the Undead, was utterly baffled by what was happening. His memory gaps were increasing. At this moment, he even felt as if he were truly dreaming—a profoundly absurd and bizarre dream from which he couldn't awaken, no matter how hard he tried. Yet, he knew this wasn't just a dream. The wedding scene before them and the sight of Lin Bai's Dark Avatar ignited their fury.

The Lord of the Abyss bellowed, "Lin Bai! I swear in the name of the Abyss, once this wedding is over, I will make you suffer every torment imaginable!"

One of Lin Bai's Avatars (the one from the previous dream wedding) was officiating this dream wedding, while another Dark Avatar (the one that had been trying to trap Dream Heavenly King) responded to the Lord of the Abyss, "Lord of the Abyss, wake up! This is a dream created by the Dream Heavenly King. If you wake from it, you'll lose all your recent memories. Don't forget, many of your subordinates were killed by these Heavenly Kings in a dream before!"

"Lord of the Abyss, our previous battle was instigated by Lin Bai! A Player should have contacted you. We must unite against Lin Bai; he is our common enemy!" The Dream Heavenly King's face was grim. "I can designate who retains their memories within this dream. Lord, we must start cooperating now! I'm sure you realize Lin Bai's wedding ability is suppressing everyone. If we don't defeat him, we'll all become his puppets! I will end this dream and rush to meet you as quickly as possible!"

"Fine," the Lord of the Abyss readily agreed. Compared to his fallen subordinates, being forced by Lin Bai to marry the Lord of the Undead felt far more humiliating. Furthermore, he had learned of Lin Bai's actions from a Player. How could he bear to become a puppet to an enemy who had repeatedly humiliated him?

"Boss Dream, remember to save us," the Fire Heavenly King said. "We're also trapped in a wedding!"

"We'll save the Lord of the Abyss first, then you," the Dream Heavenly King declared. "I won't abandon anyone."

"Dream Heavenly King, I suggest you reconsider," the Dark Avatar drawn into the dream said. It possessed no divine power within this wedding-dream domain, so Lin Bai could only rely on verbal sparring. "Evidently, a wedding interrupted in a dream simply continues. Your trump card is the dream realm, but it seems all your dreams will just perpetuate this previous wedding. What difference does it make if you get married in the Misty Forest or here?"

The Dream Heavenly King was stunned into silence.

"And don't forget the Red String binding you. If you don't remove it, it will persist," Lin Bai's voice (via the Dark Avatar) reminded him with a smile.

At this point, the Dream Heavenly King and the Gold Heavenly King, arm in arm, were walking down a red carpet. Opposite them stood another of Lin Bai's Avatars, this one officiating the wedding. Holding a symbolic scripture, it grinned at the Dream Heavenly King and continued, "Dream Heavenly King, you can't break my wedding, and I can't break your dream. Instead of this endless attrition, why don't we cooperate? We can conquer all worlds together. You and I will share dominion over everything."

"Lin Bai, do you take me for a fool like those other gods?" the Dream Heavenly King sneered. "Your wedding needs to be verbally initiated to take effect, but my dream doesn't. Once this wedding charade concludes, we'll have the Lord of the Abyss, the Gold Heavenly King, and the Earth Goddess on our side. With so many top-tier gods, those few Divine Statuses you've hoarded will be useless. As long as we don't give you a chance to speak, and if we cycle through a few more dreams, we'll surely find a way to defeat you!"
