553: Chapter 601 The Great Battle is Imminent! Deployment Begins!

Little Roman's younger sisters were truly terrified.

So, they intended to have An Ke issue a promise directly to the live broadcast room, stating he would absolutely not attempt a "Soul Swap" to increase his biological level.

Wearing her maid outfit, Little Roman shook her head and said helplessly, "It's useless."

“The moment the outside world knows Master has the potential to reach level 50 or 60 through Soul Swap, it's already set in stone that he will become everyone's target.”

Kuku nodded helplessly. "That's right."

Now, no matter what kind of promise An Ke made, not a single civilization would stop their march to exterminate him.

After all, no one would feel at ease with a competitor who has the prospect of becoming invincible around.

What if they weren't paying attention and An Ke successfully upgraded to over level 60?

Rather than needing to keep an eye on him every second, it would be much simpler to just nip An Ke in the bud.

“your esteemed father, what should we do now?”

Kuku's tone was slightly weak.

To be honest, it already felt like an inescapable death trap.

“From the moment I made my choice, I was already prepared.”

What was happening now was predictable.

He had only underestimated the fear the civilization contestants had regarding him upgrading to the middle or high sequences.

He hadn't expected those S-Class Civilizations to join the encirclement immediately as well.

Can't the strong have a little bit of a powerhouse's pride?

Saying something like, even if An Ke upgrades to the middle or high sequences, they could still destroy him.

It could only be said that none of the civilizations were stupid.

And they were extremely good at avoiding risks.

“You don't have to participate,” An Ke said with a faint, relaxed smile.

“Presumably, as long as you aren't with me, those civilization contestants won't waste energy looking for you.”

An Ke was naturally referring to Kuku and Little Roman's sisters.

Those contestants wanted to kill him.

As long as Kuku and Little Roman stayed away from him, they would be safe.

“Bro... Brother, can we really leave?”

Little Roman's sisters hurriedly asked.

There was a struggle in their expressions; they really didn't want to leave An Ke's side.

After all, having spent this time together, they had developed feelings for An Ke.

But their strong survival instinct made them afraid to stand against the enemies with An Ke.

After all, this was a certain-death situation.

“Of course you can!” An Ke laughed heartily.

“Don't worry, I won't blame you for this.”

“This was a decision I made privately; I shouldn't have dragged you into taking the risk in the first place.”

“So as long as I successfully survive, my promise to you will still be valid.”

An Ke's promise to the Fungus Race and the Thousand Changes Race was that he would absolutely ensure their civilizations wouldn't be directly eliminated by the game.

“Sis... Sister...”

The Thousand Changes Race sisters looked toward Little Roman.

They saw Little Roman, in her maid outfit, with a determined look in her eyes as she said deeply, “Master, I want to fight by your side.”

“Anyway, our Thousand Changes Race civilization has other contestants; even if I die in battle, the Thousand Changes Race will be fine.”

Little Roman put on a very calm front.

But An Ke could see the nervousness she was hiding.

Before An Ke could speak, Kuku also spoke up, “your esteemed father, I also want to fight with you until the end.”

“Anyway, without you, it would be very hard for me to achieve the final victory.”

“So if death is certain, I'd rather die with you.”

An Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Wait! Does your Fungus Race have no taboos at all?

Speaking so bluntly, always keeping death on your lips.

An Ke sighed slightly.

He didn't know what to say.

Actually, looking back now, he didn't know if the choice he made was correct or not.

However, if he hadn't made this choice now,

A battle breaking out with Nicole, this member of the Mecha Armor Race, would have been unavoidable.

Given the strength Nicole showed when she first appeared, An Ke might not have actually been able to defeat her.

More importantly, it was impossible to determine exactly how many contestants the Mecha Armor Race had.

Once a few more Mecha Armor Race members like Nicole showed up,

Then his side would also have to pay a heavy price.

Thinking this way, An Ke felt like he could only take this step.

As for King Kong, Old Crocodile, Little Scar, and the others,

An Ke didn't even need to ask.

Because all of them would inevitably stay by An Ke's side, even if the road ahead was a cliff leading only to death.

They would go without hesitation.

Scared?

Naturally, they would be scared, but their feelings for An Ke had already transcended everything.

Before, this loyalty to An Ke came from the "golden finger."

But now, this loyalty came from the bonds they had built with each other.

And just then, Nicole's cold, emotionless voice came through:

“I can attempt to link to the main terminal to help you resist external enemies.”

“In order to lower our comprehensive strength rating, two-thirds of our Mecha Armor Race compatriots are in hibernation.”

“As long as I can link to the terminal, then all Mecha Armor Race members will fight for you and buy time for you.”

“...”

An Ke took a deep breath.

From Nicole's mouth, he gained a rough understanding of the Mecha Armor Race.

The Mecha Armor Race was essentially equivalent to a single super artificial intelligence.

And this AI had differentiated into individual units like Nicole.

Originally, these individual consciousnesses all came from the "terminal," which was that super AI.

This made the Mecha Armor Race's consciousness and actions highly centralized, and allowed for a situation where if one individual knew something, all individuals knew it.

But for some reason, an anomaly had occurred with Nicole, this unit numbered "666666."

This resulted in Nicole breaking away from the link with the "terminal."

What Nicole planned to do was upload her data to the "terminal."

In doing so, the "terminal" would obtain her data and want to obtain a "heart" just like her.

To that end, it would go all out to help An Ke realize the biological level leap plan.

And when all Mecha Armor Race members were awakened, the Mecha Armor Race civilization's comprehensive strength evaluation would break through the S-Class.

They would strike regardless of the cost to buy time for An Ke.

An Ke's mood was somewhat complex.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Is it necessary to drag your entire civilization into this just to know what it feels like to have a 'heart'?”

If it were An Ke, he certainly wouldn't do it.

To put it in the words of the Dragon Kingdom, isn't this kind of behavior just being a complete idiot?

“If one hears the Way in the morning, one may die in the evening without regret,” Nicole replied simply with this sentence.

An Ke was stunned, then smiled.

He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.

“Nicole, I will let you hear the Way in the morning, and in the evening, smile as you enjoy the glow of the setting sun!!”

An Ke wasted no more time and began the deployment.

Kata and those White Goose Contestants would follow Kuku, responsible for bringing back the flags.

As many as they could get.

Lest we forget.

Every flag could summon 100 corresponding warriors every day.

For example, Deep Ones, Dwarves, etc.

Although their combat power wasn't too strong, with a great enemy currently at the gates, every bit of help counted.

Meanwhile, Old Crocodile, King Kong, Little Scar, Sister-in-law Crocodile, and the other animals with transcendent abilities would be responsible for dealing with C-Class and below civilization contestants.

As for the rest, they would just wait for Nicole to finish linking to the terminal, and then leave it to the Mecha Armor Race to handle...
