Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1502 Changes in the Eternal Cage

Although Lin Yu had confirmed that he and Lao Zheng possessed some kind of special privilege that exempted them from the effects of the new authority that swept through the entire "Eternal Cage," he was unsure of the specific nature of this privilege.

It wasn't that he didn't think he was anything special—on the contrary, Lin Yu felt he had far too many reasons to be "exempt from the influence of authority."

The effects of other powers, the natural resistance brought by spiritual power, one's own special soul form, and the identity of Old Zheng's summoned creature...

These are all sufficient reasons for them to remain unaffected.

Of course, Lin Yu also knew that none of these reasons could truly counteract "authority" and "divine power," and he had just been unable to escape the influence of the "Frost" authority.

But... the situations were different each time.

The Frost God's influence was limited to himself, but this new "authority" covers the entire "Eternal Cage".

All other things being equal, area-of-effect attacks will naturally deal less damage and are easier to defend against and block.

"I have a guess, boss... could it be that we've actually been affected as well?"

Old Zheng had a new idea.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "You mean if we compare the influence of this power to a disease, then we are currently in the 'early stage' or even the 'incubation period,' which is why we don't seem to be affected, right?"

Old Zheng paused for a moment, then said, "That's one way of thinking... but that's not what I meant, boss. What I meant was—perhaps the effect of this 'authority' needs to be 'triggered'—judging from the situation, the effect of this authority is probably to force these prisoners who are attacking each other into this desireless, saintly mode, so I guess..."

"Is it possible, boss, that 'mutual attacks' are a prerequisite in themselves?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "That's definitely not it, because I just thought of that and verified it... I randomly selected a prisoner and felt murderous intent towards him, but I didn't feel any sudden, intrusive thoughts forcing me to 'calm down' or 'be at peace' invade my mind."

Lin Yu paused for a moment at this point.

"Of course, it sounds like my verification method isn't particularly rigorous, so let's try it out."

As he spoke, Lin Yu pulled out the White Bone Flowing Light from his Item Space.

"This can also be used as an opportunity to test... whether these guys will respond to 'external stimuli'."

He chose the nearest prisoner and stabbed him directly with a knife.

"Pfft!"

The other person remained unresponsive, allowing blood to flow from their abdomen.

At the same time, Lin Yu still did not feel that his thinking had been affected in any way.

"It doesn't seem like it's 'triggered' either."

Lin Yu spoke.

Old Zheng sighed as he watched Lin Yu's smooth, effortless movements, devoid of any hesitation or mental preparation.

“Boss, I have a new idea now… Could it be that because you yourself are too chaotic and violent, the influence of this ‘authority’ on you seems to be non-existent—just like zero multiplied by any number equals zero.”

"Or rather... if we compare chaos to a number, the influence this authority exerts on an individual can reduce the chaos value by 999, but boss, your chaos value is probably in the five digits, so it seems like there's no change."

Lin Yu looked at Lao Zheng: "Then how come you're alright too?"

Old Zheng held up one finger: "My confusion value as the founder of the 'Psychological Society' is 53."

"Is this a joke because your last name is also 'F'?"

Lin Yu complained.

Old Zheng said seriously, "I really didn't notice this coincidence. I made this joke because I also have the three-stage transformation ability of 'King Floyd the Great'."

Lin Yu said leisurely, "Then if you encounter a god or something of similar level later, you can transform and go directly to fight them."

Old Zheng's serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by an awkward chuckle: "Boss, I was just kidding."

“I know you’re joking. I’m not some nobody. You can’t actually have three transformations, can you? Nobody has that kind of ability,” Lin Yu said sarcastically. “However… we weren’t affected by this authority, so it’s probably not because we were particularly insane and exceeded the ‘limit’ of this authority.”

"After all, don't forget that this is the 'Eternal Cage'—although I don't know how much you know about it, according to the information I've gathered, the lightest crime committed by any of the beings from the ten realms imprisoned here is 'genocide'."

Old Zheng said helplessly, "I have heard about this... so this power is indeed powerful enough to make such a group of people stand here as punishment without any resistance."

"There's no need to think too much about the principles. The fact that these prisoners are unable to move around is actually a good thing for me," Lin Yu slowly drew out [White Bone Flowing Light] and looked towards the core area. "At least we have more freedom of movement—after all, it's not just the prisoners, even the guards seem to be in this standby state."

"This also reflects that... the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' probably doesn't have the spare capacity to deal with the affairs within this 'Eternal Cage' right now!"

Lin Yu said in a low voice.

He still keeps Lao Zheng outside because he has seen that the "God of Frost" can indeed use the power of authority, and realized that the "God of Fairness and Judgment" may have weakened its control over the "Eternal Cage", or that its power and attention have been diverted to other places.

and so……

The current situation in the eternal cage further convinced Lin Yu of this.

The current "god of fairness and judgment" has probably encountered some things that would be considered "troublesome" even for a god.

Old Zheng sighed: "That's what I find strange... Can an unformed authority really make a 'god' so embarrassed?"

“The ‘Nioh’ may be very strong, but if his authority is coveted by the ‘God of Fairness and Judgment’, can he really force a god who holds two ‘authorities’ to the point where he can’t even take care of his own divine kingdom?”

Old Zheng raised his head and looked at the white vortex in the center of the Sky Ring.

Lin Yu drew out [White Bone Flowing Light] and understood that Old Zheng's concerns were justified.

“This is indeed a bit unsettling… So, even if it weren’t for the fact that the ‘God of Fairness and Judgment’ has made a mistake and it’s a ‘good opportunity,’ just for our own safety, we should head to the core area of ​​this ‘Eternal Cage’ as soon as possible.”

"After all, this is also a condition for me to pass the level."

Lin Yu said this and Lao Zheng nodded.

Regardless of how the gods here are affected, at least the "Death Game"... is still reliable.

As long as the [clearance conditions] of the 'Death Game' are met, no matter how the divine kingdom changes, Lin Yu can still instantly escape from this chaotic situation, break free from the "eternal cage," or even directly leave the divine realm and return to the real world.

This is also Lin Yu's greatest source of confidence—after all, he is a 'player,' and a 'player' who entered here in the form of a 'dungeon.'

The more Lin Yu experienced these kinds of things, the more he understood why the identity of a 'player' was so precious to the many high-ranking beings in the Ten Realms.

While it may not be accurate to say that one can "freely travel between different worlds," the very ability to move "relatively freely" between different worlds is enough to make one extremely envious.

However, for most "players", these things are so commonplace that they are easily overlooked.

"Let's go!"

Lin Yu wiped away the blood from [White Bone Flowing Light], and watching the prisoner's wounds heal completely in seconds, he felt even more strongly...

Whether it's to uncover the "truth" or to end this "trial" as soon as possible to ensure his own safety, he must head to the core area quickly.

After all, the function of this authority seems to be more than just dispelling people's "desires" and forcing them to be calm.

It even has the effect of "healing injuries".

Although the "Eternal Cage" was originally set by the "God of Fairness and Judgment" with the underlying rule that no one would "die" because of it, the prisoners here can still be injured. They will only be randomly "reborn" somewhere after a period of time after being completely killed. They can still be defeated and temporarily killed.

But now... as soon as the knife is pulled out, the prisoner's wounds heal quickly, as if everyone has super regenerative abilities.

The current "eternal cage" does indeed seem to be more and more like a genuine "peace mode" has been activated.

But Lin Yu became even more worried.

Because although the "peace mode" seems pretty good now, allowing one to move freely within this originally chaotic "eternal cage"...

But what if these prisoners suddenly become aggressive again, and retain their super regenerative abilities that prevent them from dying...?

Lin Yu always believed that everything has two sides.

The authority that can keep these prisoners completely "calm" may also have a way to make them "violent" in an instant.

After all, Lin Yu had already vaguely realized that there were quite a few ways to use "power".

The "God of Frost" can use the power of "Frost" to freeze thoughts and even reality...

Therefore, even if the power that is currently affecting the entire "eternal cage" is indeed something like "peace" and "benevolence," this "peace" and "benevolence" can also be interpreted from the perspective of "using violence to control violence."

Especially what Old Zheng just said made Lin Yu worry about what was happening above the sky and outside the cage.

after all……

Lin Yu also felt that with just the "Ren-o" and his nascent authority, the entire "Eternal Cage" should never have ended up in this state!

Something must have gone wrong!
