Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"Alright, let's drop this matter for now."

As he said this, Xu Tong very naturally walked to the sofa opposite Mr. Duck and sat down directly.

Mr. Duck looked at Xu Tong, who showed no respect towards him, and found himself speechless.

After all, in the eyes of the Space Dominator, Xu Tong was an important existence, and he couldn't do anything that might affect this person.

Rather than being punished by the Space Dominator, he feared disappointing the Space Dominator more.

This was something he absolutely had to avoid.

"Speaking of which, you still haven't answered my question," Xu Tong picked up an apple from the coffee table and took a bite without hesitation. "Shouldn't you be guarding the Space Dominator? What's with you running around as a divine official?"

Mr. Duck's chubby face clearly showed some displeasure, but he didn't dare to show it. "The Space Dominator is very busy lately. He has His own matters to attend to. I have no right to interfere, nor do I have the right to know."

A Great Old One is busy?

You should know that even in the entire Abyss World, Great Old Ones are top-tier existences. No matter how powerful the Outer God's proxy is, they can only reach the same level as a Great Old One.

If only White Summer, Mr. Duck, and other divine officials were busy, Xu Tong could understand and wouldn't think it was a big deal.

But now, even the Great Old One is busy and whereabouts unknown, so the problem is very big.

"Could it be related to the upcoming National Competition dungeon?"

Xu Tong pondered for a moment and changed the topic. "Then why are you here?"

Mr. Duck didn't hide anything from Xu Tong and took the initiative to say, "Just to maintain a balance that is on the verge of breaking."

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Duck said, "I don't know what means the people of this world used, but they actually contacted the Space Dominator."

Xu Tong was stunned for a moment, not expecting anyone to be so reckless.

The first time he arrived at the castle, even Pei Wenyu died instantly standing in front of the Space Dominator. Except for himself, no human could remain calm in front of a Great Old One.

He didn't expect anyone to do such a reckless thing.

"That person, is he dead?"

Mr. Duck nodded. "Of course. Normal people can't withstand such massive amounts of information. Death is already a relatively easy release."

"But before he died, he still transmitted some information, including their current situation and their determination to obtain hope."

Listening to Mr. Duck's words, Xu Tong became a little interested.

After all, he was an anomaly among humans, and he also happened to rescue the Space Dominator from the Time Prison.

If he hadn't done these things, it would be difficult to say how the Great Old One would treat him.

And now, here was an opportunity to know the Great Old One's attitude towards humans.

"So, what was your judgment?"

Mr. Duck sneered, "Of course, to ignore it. This is a matter for these creatures in the lower world, in line with the normal course of history."

"If the creatures of every world are on the verge of destruction and need help, then how did the dinosaurs in your world become extinct?"

These words were not without reason, and Xu Tong could understand their meaning.

But, the situation had changed.

Mr. Duck still appeared here, meaning that the Space Dominator had changed his mind.

"Then why did you still appear here?"

Mr. Duck picked up a fork from the table with his two flippers and put a piece of cut fruit into his mouth.

"Because things are not that simple."

"If it were just the course of history, and the humans of this world were doomed to perish, then so be it, but the time fluctuations here are not right. This means that the appearance of someone or something has disrupted the normal course of history."

"But whether this is true or not, I don't know, because the Time Dominator who could confirm this has been killed by a self-proclaimed hero who popped out of nowhere."

Xu Tong: "Why are you looking at me?"

Mr. Duck was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued, "In short, I am here to find out whether the current situation is in line with the course of history. If it is not, I will intervene. Otherwise, I will sit on the sidelines."

Understanding Mr. Duck's meaning, Xu Tong nodded slightly, without raising any objections.

"Have you figured out the situation now?"

"Almost. Anyway, there must be a force here interfering with me. Building this city wall is already my limit. I have a hunch that the guy pushing the demons to attack is stronger than I can handle."

Xu Tong had seen the strength of the Great Old One's divine officials. Back in the City of Sin, the Executioner was one of the divine officials, and Xu Tong at that time couldn't deal with him at all without using the trump card of the Flesh Dice.

And now, Mr. Duck, who was at the same level, said such a thing, which was enough to show the power of the demon forces.

"That's why I announced the existence of the hero," Mr. Duck said. "The script of the hero fighting the demon king is still quite interesting, but the humans of this world are too weak against the demons. The hero sent out was wiped out in less than twelve hours. It's meaningless."

Hearing this, Xu Tong seemed to have caught a loophole.

"Are you saying that the existence of the hero was announced by you?"

Mr. Duck nodded. "Is there a problem?"

Xu Tong said, "If the hero was announced by you, then it means that all humans recognize the existence of this hero."

"And the hero was killed by the demons immediately after leaving the City of Pure Land. This news must have been known to the entire demon race."

"Then why, after I appeared in the dungeon, did those demons suspect that I was the hero?"

The hero recognized by humans left the city and was killed by demons, but after Xu Tong appeared, he was considered a hero by the demons.

Which also means…

"The hero recognized by the demons and the hero recognized by me are not the same person?"

Mr. Duck said this guess in a deep voice.

Xu Tong nodded. "On the demon side, there should also be a priest like you who informed the demons of the existence of the hero, and these two heroes are not the same person."

Mr. Duck was silent for a moment. "It seems that this matter is more complicated than I initially thought. The priest on the demon side should be the culprit behind pushing the demons to attack."

Noticing that Mr. Duck's gaze had shifted to him, Xu Tong narrowed his eyes. "You don't want me to kill that demon priest, do you? Isn't that your job?"

"Building this city wall is already the limit of my abilities. Since the demons think you are the hero, then I also recognize you as the hero. As a hero, shouldn't you defeat the demon king and save the world?"

Xu Tong: "I'm just a fake hero, don't talk nonsense!"

Mr. Duck sneered. "The real can become fake, and the fake can also become real, it just depends on whether anyone believes it. If I admit that you are the hero now, see if those people outside believe you."

"For those humans outside, the hero is all their hope. If the hero dies, the hope of mankind will be cut off. They are all drowning people now, and they will grab any straw they see, regardless of whether it is real or not."

"Therefore, even if you are not the hero, they will believe that you are the hero, because you are their hope!"

Listening to Mr. Duck's words, Xu Tong only felt a headache.

The reason for his headache was not because leading humans to defeat the demon king was such a difficult thing, but mainly because Xu Tong remembered the All-People Dungeon.

At that time, he was also carrying the hopes of all the players and all of mankind to challenge the Time Dominator.

The current situation was not much different from the situation at that time, except that in the All-People Dungeon, Xu Tong would also die if he failed the challenge.

But in this dungeon, he wouldn't die even if he failed, and even those who died had nothing to do with him, they were just people from this dungeon, this world.

The sunk cost was zero.

It wouldn't hurt to try.

But, Xu Tong would definitely not work for nothing.

He raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Duck. "I can try, but I have a condition."

Mr. Duck was a little surprised. "Why do you think you can negotiate with me?"

"Do you think I can't see it?" Xu Tong gave a calm analysis, like a huge net, beginning to envelop Mr. Duck, not allowing any air to escape. "You yourself don't care about these humans. You came here purely because of the Space Dominator's orders. Once you fail, the Space Dominator will be disappointed in you. This is something you definitely don't want to see."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't want to use my power, because you only have the option of success. You are also a drowning person, and I am your only lifeline. You don't want to grab it, but you have to grab it."

Mr. Duck's expression sank.

This guy Xu Tong's brain was turning faster than he thought. He caught his loophole so quickly, and even used his own rhetoric to attack him.

The Space Dominator's vision was indeed correct.

"Speak, what conditions do you want?"

Xu Tong didn't hesitate at all. "Find an opportunity later to let me meet White Summer. I want to ask her about matters related to the Material Dominator."
