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

Chapter 1556 Grandmaster's Heart Domain

Lin Yu admitted that his estimation and assessment of the abilities of gods, especially established gods like the "God of Shadows, Pain and Nightmares," were indeed insufficient.

Because he sometimes came into contact with too many gods, and even had the experience of fighting against gods, Lin Yu inevitably lacked the reverence for gods compared to ordinary 'players'.

Applying those past experiences would lead Lin Yu to make some misjudgments or even underestimate what a god is capable of.

Just now, for example, he really didn't expect... that the God of Shadows would also set up a net-like "shadow" outside this "eternal cage," covering the entire part of this divine kingdom.

but……

Even if he underestimated his opponent, Lin Yu would still not pay a heavy price.

Even if Lin Yu couldn't imagine what backup plans the other party might have made, or didn't think the other party was that strong, he would still be "cautious" to the core and prepare more methods and backup plans.

After all, besides having more encounters with gods than other players, Lin Yu also had far more "narrow escapes" and "being trapped in dire situations" than other players.

After falling into the water many times, a person will carry a life jacket even when going to the desert.

and so……

When Lin Yu realized that leaving the "Eternal Cage" directly was not an option, he immediately used the backup plan.

Although he was "thrown back" by the shadows... he left Hannah and the Cyber ​​Ghost's electronic coffin outside.

After all, besides the materialized "information" authority [Ancient Notebook] and the fragmented "fate" authority [Fragment of Fate], the [Cyber ​​Ghost's Electronic Coffin], which is directly connected to the power of the "rules" authority, is also an [tool] that Lin Yu possesses and has a strong connection with "authority".

Furthermore, compared to the previous two [props], this [Cyber ​​Ghost's Electronic Coffin] has another important difference.

"Information" is a tangible authority, and there is no deity behind it.

As for "fate"... this authority is broken, and the god behind it has fallen for some reason.

However, the power of "rules" truly still rests in the hands of the "god of games and rules."

and……

As a deity, the "God of Games and Rules" is clearly also in the realm of gods.

This means...

Even if the outside world is shrouded in "shadows," as long as Hannah makes a phone call, this "god of games and rules" will definitely be able to arrive immediately.

Lin Yu also believed that He would arrive as soon as possible.

Because the other name of the "God of Games and Rules" is Shen Bingmiao.

of course……

Lin Yu was still somewhat surprised.

"Why did you summon a 'Grandmaster'? Wasn't she trapped?"

Holding the band-aid in his hand, which was the [prop] and [secret communication tag] that Shen Bingmiao had given him, Lin Yu asked in confusion.

Shen Bingmiao's voice came from the vent in the center of the band-aid, which seemed to act as some kind of megaphone.

"Of course I've already rushed to rescue her—I even humbled myself and begged other gods for your help!"

"Besides, I did this so that she could help you!"

Shen Bingmiao said with a grin.

Lin Yu was surprised: "No wonder you arrived faster than I expected... It turns out you were already prepared to rescue me."

“Of course, with such a commotion in the divine kingdom of the ‘God of Fairness and Judgment,’ I naturally noticed it while I was there. Besides, I was also keeping an eye on ‘Ren-oh’,” Shen Bingmiao said matter-of-factly. “Of course, more importantly, I knew you were undergoing trials here… and after careful observation, I discovered that the ones causing trouble here were the ‘God of Oblivion’ and the ‘God of Shadows,’ two clearly unfriendly individuals. So, of course, I had to prepare for a rescue operation immediately.”

"However, junior, it's truly remarkable that you were able to send out the [Cyber ​​Ghost's Electronic Coffin] under the 'Shadow's' blockade. If you hadn't done that, it might have taken me a while longer to locate the new position of this 'Eternal Cage,' which has deviated from its original 'location,' in the God Realm!"

Shen Bingmiao sighed, then praised, "Truly worthy of being our drama club's 'ace'!"

Although Shen Bingmiao was praising herself, Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.

"Thank you for the compliment... but does it really have much to do with me being the 'pillar of the drama club'?"

This is practically an award for a war hero who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, saying that he truly deserves to be the captain of the Sixth Experimental Primary School... Something just feels off!

Shen Bingmiao said with a grin, "Don't worry about the details. Besides, don't underestimate our 'Drama Club'!"

Lin Yu retorted, "That's true, after all, our 'President' is a god—the 'God of Games and Rules'."

Shen Bingmiao's smile froze again: "Oh dear, I really can't help it... If I had told you from the beginning that I was a god, you might have been blocked at the entrance by other gods in the second [dungeon]!"

No, you didn't tell me you were a god. My second [dungeon] was also blocked by other gods.

Lin Yu complained in his heart.

Of course, Lin Yu knew...

Given the nature of "Death Game," if Shen Bingmiao had really told him she was a god long ago, then the first god he would encounter might not be the "God of Reality, Illusion, and Change," but rather the "God of Oblivion" or the "God of Shadows, Pain, and Nightmares."

Compared to these two, while it's hard to say that the "God of Change" had goodwill towards him, at least he didn't have much malice.

Moreover, each time I came into contact with the God of Change, I always ended up gaining something.

In short, Lin Yu understood why his senior had kept things from him.

Anyway, he had kept a lot of things from Shen Bingmiao.

Of course, this does not affect the trust between the two—Shen Bingmiao is currently the person he can trust the most.

Lin Yu only trusted Shen Bingmiao's character and that she wouldn't harm him, not her intelligence or ability.

Even knowing that the senior is a god, the "god of games and rules," it's still the same.

"So... although the 'Grandmaster' is indeed very strong, can she really defeat the 'God of Shadows, Pain and Nightmares'? This guy seems to be a very difficult and strong being to deal with even among the gods."

Lin Yu said this and Shen Bingmiao nodded.

"Don't worry... Since I went to great lengths to bring out 'Grandmaster,' it must be because she is indeed the best choice to deal with the current situation—first of all, 'Grandmaster' is more professional than any 'player' when it comes to dealing with gods."

While Shen Bingmiao calmly explained.

The 'Grandmaster' over there has also fully entered this 'Eternal Cage'.

The "God of Shadows, Pain, and Nightmares" also expressed the same doubts as Lin Yu.

"It's you... that demigod in 'Players' who's really good at melee combat."

"Although you are one of the strongest, if not the strongest, among the 'demigods,' isn't your attitude a bit too contemptuous for someone who wants to challenge the gods?"

The "Grandmaster" did not respond immediately, but continued walking forward.

The master stopped walking only when she estimated the distance between them to be about thirty-five steps.

She raised her head, looked at the enormous shadow god in the sky, and spoke.

“I didn’t mean any ‘contempt’; on the contrary… I respected you as a very strong opponent.”

The God of Shadows laughed: "Although you are already a demigod... but without stepping into the ranks of gods, wanting to challenge gods and regard them as opponents is the greatest contempt."

"Besides... I'm considered quite powerful even among the gods!"

The master nodded: "I know, but... you are not the real body, but just an avatar."

She had one hand behind her back and the other outstretched forward.

"If it's just a matter of separating myself... I can handle it quite easily."

The God of Shadows looked down at the Grandmaster, narrowing his eyes.

"Ugh, I actually quite like confident 'players'... but your attitude is really annoying!"

"So... even though no one asked me to, I'll still kill you!"

The God of Shadows spoke, then raised his hand.

Then...

Compared to the terrifying "Shadow" authority that had just dealt with Lin Yu, which was terrifying in any instant, the power of "pain" and "nightmare" condensed in her palm and instantly formed into a huge... Shadow monster!

The writhing, converging shadows sprouted sharp teeth and hundreds of eyes, and the wails of pain from billions of beings from all realms lingered around this shadow monster—it seemed to have a physical form, yet it also seemed not to!

After the monster materialized, it lunged towards the Grandmaster in a state that was somewhere between illusion and reality.

The god of shadows murmured, "Go, go, good child, good child, devour her soul, devour her body, drown her, swallow her up, and plunge her into an eternal nightmare."

Like a murmured ballad, the monster vanished during its attack.

Like a monster lurking in the shadows under the bed in a nightmare...

The next moment, the monster appeared directly behind the grandmaster, opening its blood-red maw—with countless eyes rolling and turning inside, staring at the grandmaster's back with a sinister gaze, as if spying on him.

Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.

Even with Shen Bingmiao's confidence, he still couldn't quite imagine... how a Grandmaster would resolve the current crisis.

The God of Shadows also spoke in a whisper, his words like a divine pronouncement sentencing the Grandmaster to death.

“Proud demigod… I’ve actually noticed you—you’re only good at hand-to-hand combat and dealing with real ‘enemies’.”

"And my shadows, pain, and nightmares... are all the types you're worst at dealing with."

"Pay the price for your stupidity and recklessness."

He spoke in a low voice as the monster's massive jaws snapped shut, about to swallow the grandmaster whole.

And at this moment.

"call--"

The master exhaled a long breath, the turbid air coming out of his mouth and nose like bluish-white smoke.

next moment……

All sounds are silent.

Shen Bingmiao's leisurely voice rang out.

"Look closely, this is the most shameless 'Heart Domain' among the 'players'."

"This is called... 'The power of heaven and earth, the subtlety of hands and feet'."
