Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: Odds of Winning

"Magnetism!" Mr. Kang ignored his probing, and with a pull of his hands, Xu Huo involuntarily slid toward him.

Props that negate the effect of other props and characteristics did not work; the opponent’s hand pierced directly through the "Unassailable Territory" barrier. He simultaneously took out both "Three Seconds of a Lifetime" and "Angel’s Tooth."

Space-Time Items have incompatible characteristics. When using a Spatial Artifact of a higher rank and larger range, all Space-Time Items of lower rank within its range may become ineffective or have their effects significantly weakened. "Three Seconds of a Lifetime" is a Super Prop, its effect capable of covering an entire space...

"Angel’s Tooth" blocked the stabbing hand, and under the force of the impact, Xu Huo rapidly retreated, reactivating the "Unassailable Territory" while consecutive portals appeared behind him to cushion the force. However, to his surprise, Mr. Kang wasn’t affected by the Prop and even more dominantly broke through the portals in the Spiritual World, appearing in front of Xu Huo with a long guillotine knife in hand!

"I knew you had Advanced Spatial Artifacts on you the moment space didn’t swallow you up!"

His eyes shone with determination, covetous of the Props that Xu Huo possessed!

In the nick of time, "Kitty Grants You Three Lives" allowed Xu Huo to dodge the blade. His neck, however, was forcibly twisted to the left, tilting his entire body sideways—unable to adjust his posture at such a short distance, he fell forward into the library, simultaneously trapping Mr. Kang inside the spiral staircase!

"Heh!" With a cold laugh, Mr. Kang knelt on one knee and slammed a fist into the staircase. The seemingly infinite white steps crumbled in an instant!

The shards flying represented a corner of Xu Huo’s Spiritual World collapsing. Not only was he heavily injured, but the distance between them also closed once again. Mr. Kang, like an unshakeable bane, approached, striking the Prop barrier, driving Xu Huo to the edge of the library floor!

Although he had been heavily hit multiple times, thanks to the "Unassailable Territory," Xu Huo hadn’t sustained severe injuries. After landing, he swiftly turned direction, opening a room door nearby.

The entire library was a nested concentric ring. Inside each door was another door, with each room and space constantly changing. Once entered, it was as though one were trapped in an infinite loop of a maze.

Of course, this maze might not affect Mr. Kang.

Because "Three Seconds of a Lifetime" hadn’t taken effect, if he was using a Spatial Artifact, unless it was of the same rank, it should not be completely unaffected. But his condition seemed closer to that of a Super Evolver.

This made Xu Huo start to doubt his own judgment.

If Mr. Kang was a Super Evolver, then his strength would be far greater than his own. Space added to Super Evolution, coupled with the difficulty of being mentally interfered with, these two advantages are enough to counter the effects of the Spiritual World.

Vertical Pupil wandered within the library. Xu Huo watched Mr. Kang as he continued to destroy the rooms, swiftly moving through doors, reconstructing the rooms again and again, all the while avoiding him.

However, seeing the opponent blindly destroying inside the library, he suddenly had another guess. After stepping into a room, he let another Personality walk out.

Xu Huo’s Spiritual World held four Personalities. The Shadow Personality, materialized as a black thin sheet representing his childhood; the young boy Personality, materialized as a deck of cards; the young man Personality holding a Dagger; plus himself.

On the surface, all four Personalities seemed to be under Xu Huo’s control. However, considering Snow White Villa, the childhood Shadow Personality was not entirely under his dominion, which was why he deliberately confined it, using the young man Personality that was close to his own stature.

"Boom!" With Mr. Kang’s forceful strike, the room shattered. The young personality, disguised as the one just discovered, quickly fled, and Mr. Kang unhesitatingly pursued, showing no sign of doubting the reality of what he had seen... which was obviously against common sense.

If Mr. Kang’s evolution in spatial ability had reached the point where he could physically break through the Spiritual World, then he should have known that what appeared before him was definitely not a real person, since spatial evolution would make him even more sensitive to every change in his surroundings. He could even shatter a Space Barrier created within the Spiritual World with direct force, so how could he not sense a living person standing mere ten meters away?

Xu Huo let the young personality lure him away further, at fifty meters, one hundred meters, and one hundred fifty meters from Mr. Kang, he used the "Three Seconds of a Lifetime," but the prop failed to affect his speed. Those afterimages that stacked behind him like arcs of light were continuous, seeming to permeate every place.

He glanced at the stopwatch in his hand: Could there be a Space-Time Item that can circumvent the characteristic where similar items are incompatible with each other?

Whether such a prop existed, Xu Huo was not sure, but the best plan now was to destroy Xiaohe City.

If Xiaohe City was a complete Venue Prop, then the best strategy would be to move the battlefield outside the city.

But if Xiaohe City was unrelated to Mr. Kang’s prop, one of the usage conditions of the prop might be tied to the structure. Destroying Xiaohe City might render the prop useless.

If it was the former, it may not be possible to destroy Xiaohe City; if it was the latter, after Xiaohe City was damaged, there might be two possible outcomes: one was that Mr. Kang could no longer use the Spatial Artifact, and the other was that the prop could still be used. Regardless of which scenario, he would have to face at least thirty players. If Mr. Kang’s prop was still functional, his chances of winning would be slim...

After a moment of hesitation, he telekinetically pulled the tank-top female player he had sent away earlier in front of him and said straightforwardly: "Do you also want to deal with Mr. Kang?"

The female player was quite straightforward too, "Our goals are the same. Whatever you plan to do, I can cooperate with you."

"What’s the relationship between the other two Rank-B players and Mr. Kang?" Xu Huo asked.

"They were all strangers before we met, what kind of relationship can there be?" The female player replied with a hint of sarcasm: "It’s all about who seems likelier to win."

"But even if they knew the reason why people were disappearing from Xiaohe City every so often was because of Mr. Kang, it doesn’t mean they would cooperate with you unless Mr. Kang lowers his head."

Just moments ago, with only a few people, Mr. Kang might have preferred to silence them. But if everyone became aware, it might become a different balance of power, where Mr. Kang would have to relinquish his control and not monopolize Xiaohe City like before.

Alternatively, other players might also want to snatch Mr. Kang’s Spatial Artifact, leading to another chaotic battle.

Xu Huo was also aware of this point.

Guan Shu and Lin Qiao had gone to great lengths to delay the other two Rank-B players, but they couldn’t hold them off for long. If Mr. Kang’s prop became ineffective due to the destruction of Xiaohe City, then the first to act against him would likely be those two Rank-B players.

Whether competing with the two Rank-B players for men or facing an undiminished Mr. Kang, neither scenario would be easy for him.

After a brief pause, he said to the female player: "Then I’ll trouble you to tell everyone the truth about Xiaohe City, and add one more point — Mr. Kang will turn the entire Xiaohe City into a Chaotic Space."
