CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 335: HOW TO KILL? OF COURSE, KILL WITH THE PLOT_1

"When did you learn to fly a plane..." Wang Linchi felt a bit numb.

Walking there would indeed take three months, but flying would only take ten hours.

This wasn’t an ordinary plane but a piece of equipment created by the Fallen Players. After the Fallen Players became entangled and compatible with the Game System, they naturally possessed the abilities of normal Players, and with even greater freedom, all sorts of technological equipment and items emerged.

"No need to know how. This thing is essentially a game item." As an Erroneous Sin-Fallen Player, Ye Tian not only had the power of a Player but also the authority of the Game System.

So, he wasn’t worried about the distance at all.

Wang Linchi also rubbed his temples. He’d almost forgotten airplanes even existed due to the technological regression after the world became gamified.

No wonder Ye Tian had obtained intelligence on the Titan King so quickly; he had already scouted ahead several times.

This time, it wasn’t just Wang Linchi and Linghu Sen, the NPC resistance leader, who had come; other combat-capable NPCs and Fallen Players were present as well. They had truly come to fight the boss this time.

"Speaking of which, haven’t you ever considered turning the Titan King into an ally instead of insisting on killing him?" Wang Linchi asked curiously.

That didn’t fit the protagonist’s style at all.

"The Titan King is transforming into an Erroneous Sin. If we can’t eliminate him in time, you should understand the consequences."

"Given the Titan King’s power, if he succeeds, he might possess strength comparable to the Game System. Then things will become difficult for us," Ye Tian said with a solemn expression.

"So that’s why the Erroneous Sin has been so quiet. Turns out it was planning something big for us." Wang Linchi also realized. Logically, the underground world should also be teeming with Erroneous Sins, but he hadn’t detected a single one.

Now it seemed this Error’s erosion of the rules was highly logical. On the surface world, it first targeted the Game System; in the underground world, it chose the Titan King. The core strategy was to capture the leader to defeat the enemy.

Once the strongest fighting power fell, the rest wouldn’t even need to be considered; they could simply be crushed by overwhelming force.

Although this method was crude, it was undeniably effective.

It was fortunate the Titan King was a biological creature; otherwise, like the Game System, he would be formless and intangible, and there would be no way to eliminate him.

The Game System, like the resistance army and the Fallen Players, should be considered a faction-type Erroneous Sin, one that even Wang Linchi couldn’t kill.

"Hmm, thinking about it this way, does it mean the Error has a self?" Upon hearing Wang Linchi’s analysis, Ye Tian found it all too coincidental. "Otherwise, how could it possibly target the strongest fighting power every single time?"

These words made Wang Linchi ponder as well.

He could call it a coincidence once, but a second time? That couldn’t still be a coincidence, could it?

"Even if it does, how do you plan to deal with it?" Wang Linchi recalled his earlier speculation that the Sky God hadn’t truly perished. However, when the Titan King emerged to take the blame, he had stopped considering it.

Thinking about it now, could the Sky God actually be the Error?

"There’s no way to solve it. I can’t even handle the calamities created by the Error, let alone the Error itself." What solution could Ye Tian possibly have? He didn’t have a single clue; it was merely speculation on his part.

"That makes sense." Wang Linchi didn’t press the issue further, mainly because it was true. He then steered the conversation back to the Titan King: "How confident are you that we can kill the Titan King?"

"Not confident at all, but we still have to try. Besides, none of us can truly die anyway," Ye Tian said, seemingly unconcerned.

Wang Linchi’s expression darkened. His status as an Erroneous Sin was just a disguise. He could revive, true, but he wasn’t truly Immortal.

"Aren’t you afraid we’ll all get thrown in, have some unique reaction with the Titan King, and end up merging into a single Erroneous Sin?" Wang Linchi grumbled.

That guy really does whatever pops into his head.

"It’s fine, we can run," Ye Tian replied, not seeming to care at all. He must have a trump card up his sleeve.

Wang Linchi didn’t know what Ye Tian’s trump card was, nor did he intend to ask. If Ye Tian had been willing to share, he wouldn’t have brushed him off with such a vague reassurance.

"Alright, but let me be clear upfront: if things truly become impossible, I won’t stay with you. I’ll leave at the first opportunity." Wang Linchi naturally had no intention of fighting to the death.

"Understood." Ye Tian didn’t expect Wang Linchi to actually live or die with him. Fearlessness in the face of death was something one applied to oneself, not something to force upon others.

"However, you might not be able to escape. Considering the Titan King’s size, without a plane, successfully evading his attack range won’t be that easy."

Ye Tian had seen the Titan King once before and gathered considerable intelligence, which he had shared with Wang Linchi. Initially, he had actually wanted to win Wang Linchi over, but during their last encounter, he discovered the Titan King was undergoing Erroneous Sin transformation, which forced him to seek Wang Linchi out to act together.

Therefore, the intelligence he had provided to Wang Linchi hadn’t yet been updated to include this Erroneous Sin transformation.

"That’s a separate issue. In any case, I’m not dying with you," Wang Linchi stated. He wasn’t from this world anyway; there was no need for him to fight to the death and never retreat.

"Mm, I understand." Ye Tian’s warning had also been out of kindness.

After that, silence descended upon the plane once more.

Time ticked by, second by second. The plane’s advance through the darkness was completely unimpeded.

This was no ordinary plane, and these were no ordinary people; the darkness had no effect on them whatsoever.

"Written descriptions and pictures can never match the impact of seeing something with your own eyes."

Wang Linchi gazed at the colossal humanoid elemental lifeform in the distance. As their plane flew high above, looking down, he wasn’t worried about the Titan King attacking.

Commercial airliners typically fly at altitudes between 6,000 and 12,000 meters. The aircraft they were in, however, was no commercial plane and thus flew at a much greater height.

"Something’s not right..." Before Wang Linchi could even fully express his awe, he abruptly noticed something wrong with the Titan King.

"What did you discover?" Hearing Wang Linchi, Ye Tian’s nerves immediately tensed.

"The Titan King has a problem. He’s entered a state of advanced Corrosive Conversion." Wang Linchi realized that the being had already reached the third stage.

In Wang Linchi’s classification, Giants went through three stages: Semi-Elementalization, Full Elementalization, and Corrosive Conversion.

The first two stages were part of a normal Elemental Giant’s Growth cycle. The final stage, Corrosive Conversion, theoretically shouldn’t occur unless the corrosion within the Soul erupted, leading to the scenario Wang Linchi had previously discussed with Ye Tian.

"Is this the ’Giant weapon’ scenario you mentioned before?" Ye Tian immediately understood.

"Exactly. During your previous visits, did you see anything like this?" Wang Linchi asked.

Ye Tian observed the Titan King intently but didn’t notice the advanced Corrosive Conversion Wang Linchi spoke of.

Wang Linchi could see it because his perception, or fields of vision, were more extensive. Ye Tian, possessing only normal naked-eye vision, couldn’t possibly discern such a thing.

"No, there’s no change at all from before," Ye Tian replied. He could tell the Titan King was undergoing Erroneous Sin transformation because he himself was an Erroneous Sin and could sense it. However, something like Corrosive Conversion belonged to a different system entirely, one he naturally couldn’t perceive.

"Currently, the Erroneous Sin transformation accounts for about one-tenth. The Corrosive Conversion on the Titan King’s body is constantly resisting the Error, but the situation is far from optimistic."

"From how things look now, your plan to use Elemental Giants against the Erroneous Sin has very little chance of success."

Wang Linchi stated his conclusion after comparing the data.

The Elements on the Titan King had long since been converted into the power of Corrosive Conversion. If even this level of power couldn’t resist an Erroneous Sin, then the minuscule amount of corrosion within the Souls of other Elemental Giants would be even more useless.

"First, kill the Titan King to prevent future trouble. We’ll deal with the Elemental Giants later." At this point, Ye Tian could no longer afford to consider the strategy involving Elemental Giants; dealing with the Titan King was paramount.

Hearing this, Wang Linchi felt a sense of helplessness. How are we supposed to kill this thing?

If the Titan King were merely undergoing Elementalization, Wang Linchi felt there might still be some hope. After all, he had studied Elemental Giants, and they were, at least, the same kind of species.

However, it had already undergone Corrosive Conversion and was also undergoing Erroneous Sin transformation. Wang Linchi had no countermeasures for this combination. There was simply no way to neutralize such immense Corrosive Conversion.

"How do we fight it?" Wang Linchi asked.

Ye Tian gave Wang Linchi an odd look. "With the rules, of course! As long as the Titan King hasn’t fully transformed into an Erroneous Sin, our killing rules should still affect him."

"..." Wang Linchi was momentarily stunned. He genuinely hadn’t considered that. He wasn’t an Erroneous Sin, so he didn’t possess any killing rules; naturally, he had subconsciously overlooked this point.
