Chapter 4182 In front of the throne
She was naturally familiar with the Singers' Group.
Before she decided to challenge Golden City alone, Angel solemnly warned her not to be careless, and to pay special attention to the Singers' Team.
"The Golden Country level tests your understanding of mechanics, rules, game theory, strategy, and combat. Although it looks complicated, as Montedan said before, the more complex the mechanics, the simpler its core is."
“There are many smart people besides Montedan, and that’s why Golden Country has gathered the largest number of teams.”
"These teams have many strong members, such as the Shadow Clan that I showed you before. If you give them a few more chances, they will definitely pass the second level."
"And the team most likely to compete with you for the first clear qualification is probably the Singer Team."
With Miss Gossa's extraordinary presence, it's only a matter of time before the Singer Team passes through the second level.
The rabbit girl naturally understood this principle as well.
After entering the Golden Land, she immediately began hunting without stopping for even a minute, fearing that if she was too late, it would be all over.
During the battle against the Golden Phantom on the second floor, she was on tenterhooks the whole time, glancing at the text bar every now and then, just in case the Wonderland notification suddenly popped up and told her "Singer Squad has cleared the game in perfect mode".
With this concern in mind, she ultimately took the lead in hunting the golden phantom on the second level.
It was at this moment that the information from Fairy Realm gave her some relief—
"Attention! The third level, [True Golden Land], can only accommodate one team at a time. Other teams will not be able to enter until the current team abandons the perfect clear mode."
The moment the Wonderland notification popped up, her previously anxious and uneasy mood suddenly brightened!
In other words, as long as she firmly holds onto the qualification for the "Perfect Challenge Mode", even if the Singer Team defeats the Golden Phantom on the second floor, they will have no chance of stepping into the third floor!
Unless she voluntarily gives up the challenge.
But how could she give up? From the moment she stepped into the Golden Land, "perfect completion" became her only goal!
Now that she has this "unique qualification certificate," her worries have finally been put to rest. As long as she perseveres, she no longer needs to worry about other teams overtaking her in the upcoming challenges.
At that time, Rabbit Girl felt that the mountain of shadow that had been pressing down on her all the way, the "Singer Squad," could finally be removed from her head.
But who could have imagined that this sense of security would only last until the moment the palace gates were pushed open?
The singers who had previously made her uneasy suddenly appeared before her without any warning...
……
Although there was a moment of tension in my heart, the anxiety that had been hanging over me because of the Singers team dissipated the instant I saw them clearly.
It's strange how people are; when they're worried, they're very worried, but when trouble actually comes, they become calm.
After all, what needs to be faced will eventually have to be faced.
Setting aside her random thoughts, the rabbit girl began to observe the situation inside the palace.
Her goal is—the golden throne.
The golden throne was not hidden either; it was located in the center of the high platform at the deepest part of the palace.
There are only two ways to reach that platform: either fly there or walk up the spiral staircase.
However, both of these roads were blocked.
Lady Rose of the Yu Sen clan was in mid-air, patrolling in front of the high platform. Her high position gave her a wide field of vision, and anyone who wanted to pass by would be spotted by her and dragged into the battle.
On the ground, below the platform, is the singer "Magic Harp," holding a harp. It appears to have its eyes closed, seemingly unable to see its surroundings.
However, it would occasionally pluck the strings, and the sound would directly transform into ripples that spread to every crevice around it.
The energy ripples formed by the sound of the zither carried a faint blue glow and were completely visible to the naked eye!
This is clearly a "range alert mechanism"!
She had previously seen a similar alert mechanism on a main road in the ancient city. A small team of Yingji people was projected out, with floating flames around them lingering on the street and illuminating a large area. Anyone who stepped into the "light" area would be detected by the Yingji people, triggering the mechanism and entering a battle.
So, don't be fooled by the fact that the Demon Harp seems to be asleep with its eyes closed. Its vigilance range is extremely large, covering all the paths to the high platform, and it is almost 360 degrees without any blind spots.
Even assuming, by all means, that she both avoided Lady Rose Leaf's gaze from high above and found the Demon Harp's perception point of view, circumventing their mechanisms, and successfully stepped onto the high platform.
Still no use.
Because the Magic Flute, with its "open-minded" nature, stood right in front of the Golden Throne.
In any case, she will inevitably encounter the Magic Flute and trigger a battle.
In other words.
She wants to perfectly clear the Golden City and ascend the Golden Throne, and the Singer Team is an obstacle she can't get past no matter what!
As the rabbit girl was telling her story, Gray Porcelain suddenly raised her hand cautiously and asked timidly, "If we can't fly or walk, can we use a shovel to dig a tunnel and quietly reach the Golden Throne?"
Previously, when the rabbit girl decided to venture into the Golden Land alone, Gray Porcelain lent her the "Keye Mining Shovel." Although he didn't know if the shovel would be of any use, it was always better to have more than nothing.
Therefore, when he heard that the Singer Squad had blocked the path between the air and the ground, Gray Porcelain's first thought was to use a mining shovel to dig a tunnel and sneak into the vicinity of the Golden Throne.
As soon as she finished speaking, the rabbit girl gently shook her head: "No, it won't work. The entire Golden City is filled with various mechanisms and rules, such as the city walls being unscalable, rooftops being uncrossable, and flying in the sky during peacetime..."
Because of these mechanisms and rules, challengers are greatly limited in their ability to use unconventional methods to take shortcuts.
Basically impossible.
If it weren't for these mechanisms, she would have arrived at the palace long ago. Why would she need to measure the distance between the city gate and the palace on foot?
“The walls and floors inside the palace are governed by rules that cannot be broken during peacetime, so I cannot dig a hole.”
As for digging after the battle starts? That won't work either.
Because you've gone out of combat range, according to the rules, you'll be immediately declared the loser.
Montedan: "Although there were no shortcuts, you still managed to complete the game in the end."
The rabbit girl nodded, but her expression carried a hint of helplessness: "We've cleared the level, but the Singer Squad... is really strong, strong in every way, almost unbeatable."
Even in a one-on-one fight against the Singers team, she has a chance of losing.
What's more, it wasn't even a one-on-one fight!
"As soon as you enter combat with anyone, the rest of the Singer Squad will join the fight."
One against four, including the exceptionally talented Miss Gossa, the level of difficulty is unimaginable.
Even now, when she recalls that battle, she feels utterly powerless.
It can only be said that Angell was right. Among all the teams in the entire Golden Land, the Singer Squad is absolutely in a class of its own, like a towering mountain that makes it hard to breathe.
She didn't recount the details of the battle because she really didn't want to recall the "torture" she suffered. She only picked out some of the information she had seen and told it.
The first thing to be discussed is naturally the abilities of the Singer Squad.
The magic harp and the magic flute both belong to the singers, and their methods are mostly accomplished through "sound".
Their control over "sound" has reached an almost perfect level; even sound waves without any energy can pose a great threat.
For example, they can easily manipulate sound waves to the point that she experiences chest tightness, shortness of breath, tinnitus, and dizziness.
These negative effects are not particularly strong in themselves, and would be insignificant in reality. However, in the Dream Crystal Plains, amidst the intense battle, any situation could trigger a chain reaction, ultimately leading to an unpredictable outcome.
And this is only their most insignificant ability.
As "statues," they possess strong defensive capabilities, and they also seem to have mastered some special musical instruments, allowing them to unleash special attacks through these instruments.
This kind of sonic attack doesn't just cause chest tightness; it can kill people!
Most importantly, this four-person team also has "golden artifacts".
The first piece of gold that she noticed was held by Lady Rose, who was flying in mid-air; it was a golden trumpet flower that she had tied to her vine-covered dress.
Her effect is to "amplify all sound waves".
Whether it's a low-frequency sound wave used for interference or a deadly attack sound wave, its power will be multiplied several times after being amplified by gold.
What's even more troublesome is that Lady Rose simply needs to hover above the magic harp and the magic flute, without any additional action, and the "sound amplification" bonus becomes a permanent effect.
She had considered dealing with Lady Rose Leaf first, but when she actually tried, she found it to be extremely difficult.
As a member of the Yu Sen clan, Lady Mei Ye's aerial mobility was even more terrifying than the bird-like phantoms she had encountered before. Her figure could move nimbly through the air above the palace, making it impossible to catch her during an attack. Not to mention, she could also control the vines on her skirt, whipping them fiercely in all directions at will. The vines crackled as they swept through the air, their power no less than that of a sharp whip.
She had a hard time dealing with the avian phantom back then, let alone the enhanced version of the avian phantom.
In short, it's difficult!
"However, the most difficult to deal with are not these few, but... Miss Gossa."
As the rabbit girl spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something and gave Angel a resentful glance.
Angell found her gaze odd. "What's wrong?"
Instead of giving an immediate answer, she countered with, "You didn't leave Miss Gossamy the Nightmare Node?"
Angel nodded: "Some were left."
Before the Sandbox Wonderland opened, Angor obtained a lot of information from Miss Gossa. In particular, she provided him with important clues about the window instance.
To thank her for the information she provided, Angor left her some Nightmare Nodes before leaving.
This gift, similar to the illusion doll given to Gabriel before, was simply for convenience.
Because of the power of words, Gabriel's words become like a harbinger of doom, bringing bad luck instead of good. Therefore, Angor used the Nightmare Node to create a puppet that can speak in his place.
Miss Gosha is the same; she is still an infant, and this frail body restricts her movement. So Angor left a Nightmare Node, allowing her to transform into a vehicle at any time, making it easier for her to move freely.
At this point, Angell's fingers suddenly paused, a look of realization flashing in his eyes: "You suddenly brought this up, could it be that Miss Gossa's projection can also use... Nightmare Nodes?"
The rabbit girl nodded emphatically, her resentful gaze deepening: "Yes, the projection of Miss Gossa created by the power of the fairy realm already possesses a much stronger ability to manipulate sound waves than the magic flute and the magic harp, making it difficult enough to deal with. Who knew that her projection would also have the ability to manipulate illusions..."
These words made Angor's expression instantly become somewhat unnatural. He subconsciously touched his nose and said with slight embarrassment, "Although I left some Nightmare Nodes for Miss Gossa, I set restrictions beforehand. Those Nightmare Nodes can only be used for transportation or assistance..."
The power of Nightmare Illusion, possessing the aura of the Nightmare Realm, is one of the three fundamental forces of the Dream Crystal Plains. Angell could not possibly leave it to others without any restrictions.
When he gave it to Miss Gossa, he had already limited the versatility of the Nightmare Node, limiting its use to transformation and support.
The rabbit girl shook her head and sighed: "Indeed, these Nightmare Nodes cannot directly affect other people, but she can interfere with my path of progress by creating various transparent magical hands for assistance, without attacking me."
"It can also manipulate Nightmare Illusion to create special barriers, comb through and return special sound waves, and compress my operating space."
It can be said that Miss Gossamer used that limited illusionary ability to her fullest extent.
Even though they didn't directly interfere with her, a series of fateful events ultimately led her to swallow all the bitter consequences.
“Miss Gosa is already very strong, and she has an unreasonable intuition. She can predict all my movements and secretly connect the other members of the Singers in an unknown way, like a heart-to-heart tie that binds them tightly together.”
Each of the four members of the Singer Squad is very strong; they would be difficult to defeat individually.
When they work together, they become incredibly terrifying.
Without Miss Gossa, Lady Rose Leaf could combine her skills with the Magic Harp and Magic Flute to launch a powerful attack. With Miss Gossa added, the rabbit girl even felt... that they could kill gods.
Of course, the idea of killing a god is just an illusion, but it is undeniable that the Singer Squad's teamwork gives them the strength to sweep away all the teams in Golden City.
As she said this, the others at the Stone Table Meeting wholeheartedly agreed.
Based on the rabbit girl's description alone, one can already sense the formidable strength of the Singer Squad... Ordinary squads would be almost hopeless in the face of them.
"So how did you win in the end?" Gray Porcelain asked curiously. The leader described the Singer Squad as terrifyingly powerful, and the leader was alone. How did she withstand the pressure and turn defeat into victory?
The rabbit girl was silent for a moment before whispering, "Using some magic-patterned scrolls, we disrupted their battle rhythm, and then..."
All the magic-patterned leather scrolls provided by Angor have been used up.
"Shadow of the Cage" for crowd control, "Sea of Electrocution" to restrict sound wave propagation, and "Thorn Forest" to entangle Lady Rose Leaf's vines—these were originally trump cards reserved for dealing with sudden crises, but she used them all up in a single battle.
It even activated the body's reverse scale, wielding the tooth and bone staff and relying on these "unorthodox" means.
She finally defeated the Singer Squad and ascended the Golden Throne!
However, even though she won in the end, she felt no relief at all; instead, she felt a sense of suffocation and frustration.
She had been so confident that she could do it, but in the end, without the tools provided by Angell, she would have failed miserably.
Moreover, after defeating the Singers team, Maggie appeared, and her words made the bunny girl's mind even more confused.
