As the so-called...... A fateful reunion......

In the sky above the Hellfire Peninsula, from time to time, green sulfur flames streaked across the sky and fell on the distant ground, and a rumbling sound was heard.

It was once a beautiful and rich land, but the invasion of the Incineration Legion destroyed it, and now, when adventurers from the world of Azerahi first crossed the Dark Gate, the sight that greeted them was also a wake-up call, and every moment reminded them of a harsh reality.

No matter how many times it defeats the Incineration Corps, its threat will always remain, and once it fails...... The world of Azerahi will also become like the land in front of you, which was once called "Draenor...... Devastation.

The Dark Gate, here is the beginning of a qiē, likewise ...... It is also the end of a qiē.

And now, in front of this dark gate, Gao He and the upside-down man stood opposite each other, looking at each other from afar.

"To be honest, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Facing the opponent in front of him, who could be said to be the most powerful opponent since entering the world of Azerohi, Gao He not only did not have the slightest fear and flinch, but instead ignited an unprecedented enthusiasm for this battle.

Since when did he start looking forward to the battle with the hanging man?

From the day we first met? The first time I knew that the identity of the upside-down man was the strongest "king"? Or the moment when he witnessed the hanging man end the glory of the "emperor" and return to the top of the world?

In any case, one thing is very clear. One of the purposes for him to come to the Outlands was to find the hanging man, and as for the goal of finding this guy, of course, it was......

From the front! Defeat this guy with dignity!

"Huh...... Frankly, you've surprised me again and again. ”

In the face of Gao He's high-spirited battle intent, what appeared on the face of the upside-down man was still that kind of indifferent smile.

"In terms of your talent, your experience, the one you have, in this game. It can even be called the storage zài of the 'crane tail'. Once upon a time, you didn't even have the qualifications to make me face it a little bit, but now ......"

Looking at the burning hand of the flame demon in Gao He's hand, the upside-down man sighed lightly.

"I have to admit it. Today. You stand before me. He is already qualified to have a fair conversation with me. ”

"Hmph...... Is that all there is to it? ”

For this "praise" of the upside-down man, Gao He habitually scoffed.

"By the time I actually defeat you, you're probably not going to be able to say such things in such a condescending manner, right?"

"Huh...... That's it...... Inexplicably confident. ”

The upside-down man shrugged helplessly.

"As far as I can observe. Every time, your self-confidence is not unfounded, so when you face me today, your self-confidence ...... Is that the legendary weapon 'Fire Demon Hand' in your hand? ”

“…… Let's just say that, after all, you guys also have legendary weapons. ”

Frankly speaking, even if the hand of the Flame Demon is on his side, Gao He still doesn't dare to take such a battle lightly.

Because he knew very well that in the hands of the hanging man, the "Staff of Legend of the Guardian" was also not vegetarian, and he did not ignore one thing from the beginning, that is......

Now there is still a gap between him and the upside-down man that is enough to affect the victory and defeat of the two sides, that is, ...... Grade.

Gao He, who had just left the world of Azerahi and set foot in this outer land, was now level 69 - a level that could almost be said to have reached the pinnacle of the world of Azerohi, and if it weren't for Naxxramas's existence, then he probably wouldn't have been able to reach this level at all.

However, compared to Gao He, the Hanging Man who entered the Outlands early has not only already reached the 7o level capped in the current version, but may have even gained a lot of experience at the peak level - although it is meaningless in the battle between adventurers.

Some people may think that the gap between level 1 does not seem to be nothing, and you don't see the protagonists of major novels skipping the level to fight monsters...... Ah no, it's like eating and drinking water by skipping the level, not to mention 1 small level, even if it's 1 big level or even killing people across a version, for the protagonists of this gang of open and hung up to the explosion, I'm afraid it's just a matter of minutes.

But the question is...... At the moment, Gao He, he is not an ordinary protagonist, but a ...... The protagonist of the online game.

In online games, as one of the three major factors that affect the strength of players, the difference in level means that the strength of both sides is absolutely suppressed.

The difference in level 1 may not seem large, but it may contain complex formulas, including hit rate, critical strike chance, hit probability between the upper and lower attack limits, and the damage difference caused by the slight difference in health and attributes......

With all kinds of complicated content, I'm afraid that even if Mao Jingyan, the "emperor" who created this game world with his own hands, he can't say how much the gap between the strength of the two sides will be magnified between the first-level gaps, but one thing that is clear to anyone is ......

Such a gap does exist, and in a real master duel, the level difference of level 1 is also fatal, which can be called the gap between heaven and earth.

"Oh...... Looks like you've realized that today isn't a good time to go to war with me, is it? ”

Noticing the change in Gao He's expression and laughing again, the upside-down man waved his hand, signaling that he could relax and not be vigilant all the time.

"Frankly speaking, I'm here today just to see you and see how far you've grown up -- to be honest, even though I've made the best predictions, your growth has really been beyond my imagination."

"Don't talk to me like an elder - you're more like you're forcing me to fight you."

Faced with the so-called "show of weakness" of the upside-down man, Gao He not only did not relax his vigilance, but looked at him more cautiously.

He knew that he was separated from the upside-down man in two worlds. During the period of their respective exhibitions, he himself has indeed made unprecedented great progress, and now, purely with his current strength, the "emperor" Mao Jingyan, who faced off with the upside-down man in the Gulabash Arena, may not be able to hold on for more than three seconds in his hands.

In fact, this conclusion was made by the "Emperor" Mao Jingyan himself after Tong Guò Ghost Crab learned about the vast majority of Gao He's current characters, and after saying goodbye to the world of Azerahi once again, he has now returned to the glass slag as an honorary advisor. It is responsible for maintaining the balance of the game.

That's right. In the eyes of today's emperors, Gao He is undoubtedly the one who destroys the balance of the game, if it weren't for the fact that it has been confirmed that the qiē that this guy has been getting was achieved by accident rather than taking advantage of the game loophole, maybe Gao He and this guy would have been locked up in a small black house for 10,000 years.

But. Gao and did not take advantage of this. It does not represent ...... Others don't.

"Don't think I don't know. Do you know where you started to show your feet? ”

"Oh? I'd love to hear about it. ”

In the face of Gao He's straightforward showdown, the upside-down man didn't show any nervousness at all.

"The 'Staff of the Guardian' in your hand. It wasn't obtained through the normal way of going through guò - I had already confirmed this from the mouth of the emperor before, but at the time, I also thought that you were the kind of person who was as lucky as Miss Long Tsundere and accidentally obtained the clue to the quest before the legendary weapon line was opened......"

Frankly speaking, today's Gao He still feels a little guilty about Miss Long Tsundere - the Ash Emissary quest line that Miss Long originally invested a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare for has now become a joke with a head and no tail - even the Ash Emissary is no longer there, what is the use of this legendary quest line?

Of course, so far, Gao He hadn't told anyone about the current state of the Ember Bringer's sword of leadership, so it could undoubtedly be considered his most powerful killer weapon now.

The premise is ...... He was able to withstand the inner will of the sword, just as he had done in the Chapel of Light's Wish.

Putting aside these thoughts, the upside-down man was indifferent to Gao He's words, but was very interested in the storage of the "Miss Long Tsundere".

"There is still such a person? Not...... I think it's probably because the luck value in reality is high enough to affect the result of the virtual number jù, after all, that kind of person's existence is like ...... Born to be the main character. ”

Saying such ridiculous words, the upside-down man pointed his finger at his chest, and then pointed at Gao and himself.

"And like you now, and I used to ...... It's not so much the main character, but ...... One day, our brilliance will become a halo foil behind others, and the meaning of our existence is probably to accumulate enough foundation for the doomed failure...... Let that failure become earth-shattering and far-reaching. ”

“……”

This time, Gao He didn't speak, but squinted at the upside-down hanging man.

"You mean...... Once upon a time? ”

"Of course."

For Gao He's sensitivity, the upside-down man seems to be in a very happy mood.

"Sure enough...... I guessed right. ”

"Huh...... Tell me, you guessed it...... What the? ”

Faced with such an indifferent hanging man, as if nothing in this world had anything to do with him, Gao He took a deep breath and resumed his previous inference.

"Luck's potential attribute aside, even if you get the Staff of the Guardian that should be obtained in Naxxramas in advance through the guò path and open the quest line of the legendary weapon, in the future, you who have officially entered the process of the legendary weapon must follow the process of the quest to repair the broken weapon in a certain way ......"

"That's a good point."

The upside-down man rubbed the swarthy staff in his hand that resembled a chicken leg - the power of this staff was not as overtly visible as the hand of the fire demon, but was more restrained than ever, which made the staff itself look unremarkable.

However, if you look closely, you will see that at the top of the staff, from time to time, a dark force will emerge, turning into a looming black crow, haunting the staff holder.

"Obviously, you ran out of patience at that time, and in order to defeat the 'Emperor', you chose another way to repair this Guardian Staff."

Speaking of which. Gao He put his hands around his chest, with an expression of wisdom beads in his hands.

"No...... It's not so much a fix as it is ...... The staff of the Guardian in your hand is actually the one that has not been broken. ”

“…… Oh? You've even guessed that? ”

Although the tone sounded like a surprised rhetorical question, in fact, the hanging man himself did not show any surprise.

"Actually, I have a pretty good relationship with the Bronze Dragon, so I learned about one thing not long ago......

Gao He smiled slightly. Reminds me of Chromie's earlier visit to the Dark Gate. The part of the information that was given to him -

Not long ago, the Eternal Dragon went on a rampage again, invading multiple timelines and attempting to wreak havoc within them. This includes the time period when Medivan, the former guardian of humanity, opened the dark portal in the black swamp.

In Chromie's description. On the surface. The Eternaldragon seems to be intent on killing Medivan and destroying the opening of the Dark Gate, thus completely erasing the existence of the Tribal side of the world of Azerohi - since there is no Dark Gate. There would be no Second War, let alone Saiya, the leader of the tribe who is now the World Sa, and his powerful tribe.

It's a pity that with the assistance of the foot man, the bronze dragons successfully stopped the Eternal Dragon's plan and repaired the timeline, but when they finally sorted out the long river of time, Chromie showed one thing.

Medivan's Staff of the Guardian...... At that point, it was already incomplete.

"It's you...... Take advantage of that opportunity to snatch the tail of the Guardian's Staff. ”

Gao He looked meaningfully at the upside-down man.

"Not bad...... But your statement is a little inaccurate."

The upside-down man nodded, but he didn't mean to hide it at all.

"I enlisted the help of the Eternal Dragon, and then made a deal with the former Guardian in the Black Swamp, and in return, I received the tail of the Guardian's Staff from him."

Really......

After the speculation was confirmed, Gao He not only did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, but became more cautious.

"And then, in the same way, you got the staff from the ancient god Cthulune?"

"Oh? Looks like you've defeated the Elder Gods? ”

The upside-down man glanced at Gao He in surprise this time.

"Yes, also with the help of the Eternal Dragon, I defeated Cthulun in the timeline before it was at its peak, and captured the Stafftail ......"

I see......

This can also explain why Cthulun, who was identified by the "Emperor" Mao Jingyan as "unbeatable by the player at the current stage", was actually defeated by the upside-down hanging man, but the Qila Worm was not rescued because of this.

Now, with the timeline of this series in order, there is only one question left.

"You guy...... Sure enough, some kind of improper game method was used, right? ”

"Isn't it right...... Perhaps it seems to you that it is. ”

Regarding Gao He's statement, the response of the upside-down man is still so light-hearted.

"But for me, it's just within my power to get some ...... for myself A little convenience. ”

"A little convenience?"

Gao He couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Opportunistic acquisition of legendary weapons is just a 'small convenience'...... Then you tell me, what exactly is the 'great benefit?' ”

"That's right...... So, let me give you an example. ”

In the face of Gao He's obviously sarcastic words, the upside-down man really showed a serious thinking expression.

"For example...... Now I, this me standing in front of you......"

The corners of his eyes turned up slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile.

"What if I say...... Now I am in a position that you cannot defeat no matter what...... How will you feel? ”

“……”

Ah, this time Gao He was really angry.

Indeed, he admits that there may still be a slight gap between him and the upside-down man, but this gap does not mean that he cannot defeat the other party.

In fact, in his speculation, if he goes all out and wields all the strength that a qiē can use one hundred percent, then. In his battle with the hanging man, the final victory or defeat was only five or five.

"Since you think you have the strength to defeat me 100 percent, then...... It might as well be today, right now, right here...... Try? ”

Although he had been reminding himself from the beginning that he could not fall for the trick of the hanging man no matter what, now, in Gao He's heart, he really couldn't suppress the fighting intent that had risen and burned from the beginning.

“…… Seemingly. You still don't understand what I mean. ”

Facing the high harmony that is poised to be prepared. After all, the upside-down man sighed deeply.

"This world of Azerohi, this game...... What is it in your eyes? ”

"Huh?"

Takawa looked suspiciously at his opponent who suddenly began to speak unexplained words.

"It's like right now, you're brave and stupid enough to challenge me. I don't know what kind of strength I have—frankly. I admire your courage. But, in fact, the battle was never fair from the start......"

"You know that......

Honesty about the upside-down man. After Gao He pursed his lips, he was still a little disappreciative in his heart.

Isn't it just a hanging, this GM boss and his second look are really unbearable.

"Don't talk nonsense, since you can't tell the winner from the mouthpiece, let's do it with a real gun!"

"In that case......

The upside-down man smiled slightly, and then asked Gao He for a duel from the goodness.

"Frankly, I'm also looking forward to a fair fight, just like when I defeated the 'Emperor', because of this, if I beat you today, maybe you will be unconvinced by the unequal situation between the two sides, but today is indeed a good opportunity, because ......"

At the end of the duel, the disgusting chuckle appeared on his face again.

“…… I can use today's battle to teach you...... What is fear. ”

The duel begins!

There was no one in front of the dark gate, and Gao He and the upside-down man faced each other, but neither of them attacked at the first time.

To be honest, although Gao He himself was quite disdainful of the stinky remarks of the upside-down man, he was still not sure in his heart.

As I said before, the level difference between the two was destined not to be a fair battle, but when he glanced at his attributes and state again, his heart was a little more settled.

……

In the process of conquering Naxxramas, he felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck, and he gave priority to almost all the equipment to the more in-demand girl members of the team, but this did not mean that his equipment was outdated - in fact. Except for the T3 level suit. The body he was wearing now was undoubtedly the best equipment in the world of Azerahi.

……

With the replacement of equipment and the enhancement of talents, Gao He, who is now standing in front of the upside-down hanging man, has never felt so strong as he does now. And this. It is also the reason why he dared to face this battle head-on.

However, how did the self-confidence of the upside-down man who said "you can't win no matter what" come from?

"Buzz ......"

In the end, Gao He still couldn't continue to press. The first round of temptation began with the Crusader trial.

Self's hit bonus. As a result, his attacks rarely missed. And just when the crusade trial was imprinted on the body of the hanged man, Gao He also clearly saw the external basic number expressed by the other party.

Hanging Male: Level 7o Blood Elf, HP 26128.

……

……

Open...... Just kidding, right?

It took almost 1 full second to realize what I was seeing. When Gao He was sure that this qiē was not his dream, the sigh of the upside-down man also sounded at this time.

"It seems...... You finally understand what mistakes you've made. ”

The upside-down man who had shown unprecedented oppressive power and terrifying posture in the duel with the "Emperor" Mao Jingyan was now facing Gao He in person, and he didn't even show his intention to transform.

On the contrary, even now, when Gao He has initially peeped at his attributes, all he exudes is blandness and ...... Commiseration.

"I wanted to tell you about it before I did - maybe you thought that the difference between level 69 and level 7o was as small as the difference between level 59 and level 6o, but in fact...... Now you have also seen that the difference of only one level is like the difference between heaven and earth in this outer land. ”

He smiled and shrugged at the stunned Gao He, then casually raised his hand and threw a shadow arrow at him that had been chanted earlier.

"As I said, from the very beginning, this was by no means the battle you imagined...... It's the same in every way. ”

At the same time as his words fell, such a shadow arrow had easily hit Gao He's chest.

4127！

There is no critical hit, not to mention the Chaos Arrow that was used in the face of the "Emperor", it is just the Shadow Arrow, which is the most basic attack method of the Warlock, but under such a blow, it directly takes away more than half of Gao He's health!

"It can't be!"

Takawa scanned the battle log in horror, trying to unravel any tricks or clues about the hanged man's tricks.

You know, although he didn't deliberately stack resistances himself, the attributes attached to the equipment, plus the resistance bonus from switching the Shadow Resistance Aura before, were enough for him to resist nearly half of the Shadow Damage.

However, under the careless attack of the hanging man, his proudest defense as a paladin was easily torn and broken by the hanging man in front of him.

"Yes...... The abilities of the Staff of Legends? ”

"No, no, no...... I think you may not have figured out the situation yet. ”

In the face of Gao He's questioning, the upside-down man looked quite helpless.

"Okay...... Since you can't believe this qiē, then, why not use your attack yourself...... How about trying it? ”

“……”

Faced with the provocation of the upside-down hanging man, Gao He gritted his teeth, but he already had a plan in his heart.

Well, even if this level 1 gap brings an unprecedented difference in health and damage, his current damage will never be lost to the one just now.

As long as...... As long as the next set of skills can all hit crit, then it is not impossible for the hanging man who has lost more than 26,000 health points in seconds!

With a firm mind, Gao He didn't say a word, and had already rushed to the side of the upside-down hanging man.

The upside-down man himself, on the other hand, put on a posture that he did not intend to resist at all, and looked at this qiē with a smile.

"Sanctions!"

The starting hand did not hit the skill damage but threw a sanction first, Gao He's plan is very clear, that is, to maximize the damage, and if you want to maximize the damage, the command trial as the main source of damage is definitely the top priority!

Vengeful Fury!

The twelve wings are fully opened, and his own damage ability has been strengthened to an extreme high harmony, and a command trial without fancy has hit the seemingly thin and defenseless body of the upside-down man.

But...... In the next moment, his next attack was all stopped.

He stared blankly at the number flying above the head of the upside-down man, and his heart was like ashes.

As the hanged man said, at this moment, he deeply felt ...... Fear in the heart. (To be continued......)
