CHAPTER 128: CHAPTER 100: XIAOKE, GIVE ME A KISS AND I’LL FORGIVE YOU

Seeing that the Shrimp-head President had no intention of charging, he put the token into his backpack and said:

"Alright, I’ll take this. If you need help with anything next time, just let me know."

"How much can you help?"

"Do you really plan to have a loner like me help you?"

"Go away, can’t I?"

"Help with what? Let’s be clear, having a child or something is a no-go."

"..."

Seeing the Beauty President fall silent, Chloe grew anxious:

"Don’t go silent on me!"

Shrimp-head President, you’re scaring me like this.

After some playful bickering, Chloe left Mayer Floating City.

Two hours later, he finally arrived at the Golden Maze he had visited twice in the simulation.

He pondered for a moment before stepping into the teleportation array leading to the maze.

Soon, he once again saw the illusion of Master Nini.

The petite Treasure Elf hovered in mid-air, hands resting behind her back, smiling cheekily as she looked at him and said:

"Xiaoke, want a kiss?"

"Nini, I..."

Unexpectedly.

Chloe didn’t launch an attack as he did in the simulation.

After a moment, he laughed self-mockingly:

"Seems like once I know it’s reality, not a simulation, I wouldn’t fare much better than Xiaolu."

The Thunderous Battle Halberd was summoned to his hand. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Nini..."

"Xiaoke, want a kiss."

"Now’s not the time for a kiss."

"Xiaoke, hurry up."

Chloe hesitated for a moment, set down the Thunderous Battle Halberd, and kissed her forehead.

The Treasure Elf cheered, turned to look at him, and said playfully:

"I’m a lucky elf. I know the current me isn’t me, but I forgive you."

The next second, her eyes dimmed, and the Fire of Life dissipated.

Chloe was silent for a moment, then suddenly said self-mockingly:

"Turns out it’s indeed hitting a soft spot."

That’s why he never regretted taking risks with the Flesh and Blood Hermitage.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound.

Heavy hoofbeats approached him, once again the female Heroic Illusion he had battled in the simulation.

Chloe looked at her, raising the Thunderous Battle Halberd in his hand:

"Come on, let’s fight again this time."

Flashing lightning and the glow of the Holy Sword intertwined.

From afar, professionals looked up and gazed in amazement at the scene on the horizon.

"Are legendary powerhouses fighting?"

"Turns out even legends come here to hone their skills?"

"Such terrifying Thunder Power, is it the Thunder Transformation Sword or the Thunder Slash Blade?"

"Doesn’t seem like it. This Thunder Power is too chaotic, far from the skillful techniques of those famous thunder-type legends."

"Perhaps a newcomer?"

"Really want to see it live."

"No one’s stopping you from going."

"But my gut tells me that getting involved means death."

...

The Golden Maze has existed for a long time.

The strong ones who come to test themselves in this maze have mostly been here.

Until they reach the next limit, they won’t come again.

That’s why adventurers around have long heard of no legends entering.

Of course, if they knew that the one invoking the mighty celestial power is still Sequence Six, they might be even more amazed.

But Chloe didn’t care about their thoughts.

Powerful forces spread within him, the lightning transformed into his attire, Abyssal Magic was his roar.

As the Thunderous Battle Halberd swung, a terrifying force engulfed the Heroic Illusion like a tide.

Chloe laughed heartily.

"Indeed, I wasn’t mistaken. Hey, unknown Sword Hero, you have Titan Divine Rune too."

In the fourth simulation, Rephya came here not long before encountering danger.

That Spear Hero almost injured that girl seriously.

At that time, he who had been watching jumped in and defeated the opponent completely.

But that was just a Heroic Illusion summoned by Rephya.

The illusion he summoned had yet to appear.

Back then, when battling that Sword Hero, he had keenly sensed something was off.

The power emanating from that Sword Hero felt somewhat familiar.

But he wasn’t entirely sure then.

After all, the gap between the two was negligible.

Wanting to defeat the opponent and expose their foundation completely was incredibly difficult.

But...

Who said the simulation version of him didn’t have the Blessed with Many Children System?

During the combat, his gaze lingered on the progress of the pledge.

Before, he and Rephya stopped at holding hands (actually, Chloe forcibly grabbed her wrist), acquiring ’Free Talent Fragment’ *1.

And this time, because of Rephya’s carelessness...

Alright, let’s just say it was carelessness.

Anyway, the progress successfully advanced a step, acquiring two more Talent Fragments.

Then what else is there to say?

Directly added the Talent Fragments to ’Advanced Water Affinity 3/4.’

Fun fact: His current main systems revolve around Flesh and Blood Magic, Blessing of Glory, and Desire Mother Tree Divine Technique.

And Advanced Water Affinity can boost these three systems to a certain extent.

Though it’s slightly inferior to pure wood-type talent, even a temporary increase of that bit can become the last straw for Chloe to overpower the opponent.

The Sword Hero ultimately duplicated the previous self.

Whereas now, he is entirely different from before.

The variables in the Golden Maze can’t match the boost from the Blessed with Many Children System.

With this shift, he used ’Coronation’ and ’Divine Tree Body’ talents.

Extreme Ascension!

Chloe instantly widened the gap between their strengths.

At that moment, the female adventurer’s foundation finally came to light.

The ability to continuously draw blessings from the earth while standing on it, without doubt, this hero also possessed Titan Divine Rune.

Even... very likely a Titan Remnant Race unknown to anyone.

The Sword Hero remained silent, tightly gripping her great sword.

The battle between them relentlessly unleashed hurricanes around.

Wherever they went, trees collapsed, and sand and stones flew.

Chloe learned bit by bit how the opponent manipulated the Earth Divine Rune.

’High Concentration’ at that moment let his mind rotate towards its current limit.

One strike.

Two strikes.

Three strikes.

...

He repeatedly tested by flinging her away, forcing her to unleash her full potential.

The clearly displayed power made Chloe unleash further ruthlessness.

’Must drain every drop of water in her body.’

After a good while.

He looked at the Sword Hero, whom he had pierced through and pinned to the ground, revealing a relieved smile.

"Now we’re even."

He had basically learned how to use the Earth Divine Rune.

To be honest.

In utilizing the Earth Divine Rune, compared to the Sword Hero, he indeed had a noticeable gap.

The Golden Maze essentially wants Chloe to achieve Extreme Ascension in battle, breaking past previous limits.

But the Golden Maze had never encountered someone like Chloe.

Actually managed to tear open the gap between them with temporary skill point allocation.

"I won, Sword Hero."

He said while raising his Battle Halberd, looking at the hero beaten to her knees.

A light laugh came from the hero’s helmet.

"You won, go ahead, the Secret Treasure is in the tunnel behind me."

Chloe looked up, finally noticing a twisted space tunnel appearing ahead unbeknownst to him.

He knew that was the path to the Hero’s Treasure.

He strode into the space passage.

However, he didn’t notice the Sword Hero behind him silently watching his back view.

The Sword Hero slowly removed her helmet, revealing a pair of crimson pupils.

A silver-white ponytail flowed like waves behind her back.

She silently watched Chloe.

Beside her, figures flickered.

There was a Centaur archer holding an enormous bow.

An Elf Mage hovering in mid-air.

A human Knight wearing dragon-shaped armor.

A Dwarf holding a heavy hammer and giant shield.

A Priest carrying a massive Holy Scripture and battle hammer.

They quietly watched Chloe’s figure.

Finally, turning their heads, they stepped into the depths of the maze.
