When the second Great Sword Maiden appeared, the internet instantly exploded into chaos.

"Truth Seekers also used the Cloning Technique! Could it be that cloning is an essential Spell for Fairy Palace?"

"Wow, if you marry a Fairy Palace Wife, wouldn't that mean double the happiness?"

"If she has the Cloning Technique, why would she need a partner?"

"This is a technique of the Supreme Supreme, the Cloning Skill! It creates an exact copy of the target that's controlled by oneself... wait, this isn't illegal but it's so thrilling!"

"Immortal Venerate, I want to learn!"

The Swordswoman's clone pressed down slightly with the tip of her sword, her eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy, her movements without a tremor, her actions without the slightest delay, swirling into the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster's offensive like a willow dipping into a pond, dodging every Attack and slashing wounds into the creature!

"As expected of a clone from the Immortal Venerate, such excellence, so strong!"

"The same body, the same Clothing, the same weapon, and yet she has become so much stronger!"

"I have awakened."

"Did you awaken too? So did I. Just looking at those wounds, I naturally awakened."

"I've awakened too (grinning), everyone should go look at the wounds."

"You talk as if it's real, who would be so foolish to actually look!"

However, the number of comments in the live stream urging people to look at the wounds kept increasing. Many said that after looking at the wounds they felt lighter, their mood improved, their back stopped hurting, their legs weren't sore, and they could go up five flights of stairs without getting tired. Of course, many others didn't believe—the emotional release from the wounds was too uncomfortable for them.

It was like stinky tofu, durian, and poop; those who could enjoy such flavors—people and dogs alike—would say it's good, while those who couldn't wouldn't even take a bite.

But as more and more wounds were inflicted on the Thousand Hands Thousand Eyes Monster, even if they didn't want to look, the entire screen filled with the creature's wounds, forcing them to see if they watched the stream.

At this point, the emotional venting seemed to lessen a lot, and viewers didn't find it too disgusting anymore. Instead, they slowly began to realize the potency of this despairing emotion—because there was Despair, they felt even more how fortunate their ordinary lives were.

To put it simply, the poop from earlier was toxic. Now the poop had been diluted, with some dried scallops and stock added for taste. So when viewers tried it, through the drastic contrast in flavor, they found that the fast food of reality was also surprisingly tasty, which aligns perfectly with the scientific theory of taste.

On the other hand, Ren Suo's expression became more and more grim.

After fighting for a good fifteen minutes, the clone's time was almost up!

On this level, the Great Sword Maiden should only be about ten-odd times stronger than Ren Suo, way too weak... If it were a clone from Devouring the Spirit of the World, it would run out of time in just one minute.

Speaking of which, Ren Suo had long noticed the difference between using 'Struggle Warrior (Damaged)' himself and when game characters used 'Struggle Warrior (Damaged)': others' clones had clothes and equipment, but his own clone didn't.

Previously, a Truth Seeker used the Cloning Technique to beat the double bosses of the Seventh Secret Realm of the World Tree, and now Unnamed had summoned a clone to fight a boss, with the clones invariably being fully equipped just like their True Form.

Only when Ren Suo summoned a clone did he also have to put pants on it.

What, am I supposed to deliberately dress in gold and silver, then strip the equipment from the clone to sell for money!? This gaming console, full of mischief, is judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's mind. My heart aches! Ren Suo fumed internally.

However, Ren Suo also realized the core combat method of this game from the clone's battle: rely on 'Flash Step' to break through and Counterattack!

This Ability was Unnamed's strongest Skill, and the reason she was more than ten times stronger than Ren Suo.

No matter how swift or terrifying the Attack, as long as she activated "Flash Step," she would inevitably break through the Attack unscathed and then swiftly Counterattack.

Ren Suo felt that "Hand of Fate" had two meanings: the first naturally being the "Player's Hand" that flips over cards to trigger events, and the second being the "Pros' Hand" that could use "Flash Step" to resolve any Attack!

The most terrifying instance was when dozens of arms attacked Unnamed's clone, but she boldly erupted with Sword Light, piercing, deflecting, and dodging all the arm Attacks before inflicting a dozen wounds on the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster!

Within ten minutes, Unnamed's clone was completely unharmed, whereas the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster was riddled with holes!

The brute force approach Ren Suo had chosen before wasn't necessarily bad, but it required too many Seeds of Destiny, and he had to equip his game character with powerful Abilities and props to possibly bulldoze through.

Alternatively, he had to unveil all the other cards so that Unnamed could get equipment good enough to reduce the boss battle difficulty.

This beta game isn't cutting it, only selling Revival Coins and not a single accessory to enhance Attributes. The combat system is so hardcore; they must think all the players are scientists adept at Auto-Aim locking, Ren Suo grumbled. Noticing Unnamed's clone had only 60 seconds left, he no longer hesitated.

The Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster had no health bar, but after being whittled away by Unnamed's clone for a good ten-odd minutes, its body had only shrunk a bit, still looking robust.

The difficulty of the battle may have decreased, but Ren Suo now had only nine Seeds of Destiny left and couldn't afford to take risks.

Instead of waiting until the end to summon a game character, Ren Suo decided to bet his fate on these last 60 seconds!

Luckily, Ren Suo had thought of this earlier and had equipped the clone with the most terrifying burst capability.

This time, I'm determined to fleece the gaming machine! he thought.

Suddenly, the Great Sword Maiden, who had been observing and learning on the side, held her Two-Handed Greatsword above her head and proclaimed loudly, "Immortal Venerate, I have glimpsed the path of the Sword Dao."

At this moment, the clone also withdrew from the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster's Attack range and, like the Great Sword Maiden, raised her Two-Handed Greatsword without uttering a word.

Supreme Supreme: "Good."

Then, the two vanished on the spot and reappeared above the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster, fiercely bringing down their swords!

"AAAAHH——————"

The Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster, having taken a massive hit, wailed in agony as countless arms rained down like pear blossoms in a storm, attempting to strike both individuals. However, they vanished again in mid-air, appearing on another side of the monster and bringing down their greatswords once more!

Without dodging or blocking, the two kept flickering and moving in the air, each appearance inflicting deep wounds on the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster!

Like peeling a carrot, the monster shrank visibly from a giant hamburger to a spicy chicken burger, as an intense sense of Despair swept through the space like a storm. Yet Unnamed and her clone were unaffected, like blender blades grinding the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster into mincemeat!

After 10 seconds, Unnamed and her clone returned to their original position. By now, the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster had completely shrunk to just 2 meters tall, with significantly fewer mouths and eyes, though each eye was shedding tears and each mouth was crying out sounds of Despair:

"I need to diet, I need to burn calories, I want to be Everybody's Darling... Let's eat hotpot together."

"Reality is such a crappy game."

"Eight hours at work, eighteen hours of overtime, haha, the company is my home."

It seemed to still want to Attack them, but with every step it took, a large chunk of black mud melted from its body, until only an eyeball fell to the ground and rolled, gurgling, towards the feet of the Great Sword Maiden.

The clone quietly dissipated. Unnamed's body shuddered as she propped the greatsword aside and weakly knelt.

"Even with the guidance of the Immortal Venerate, I can't fully master this Sword Technique? I can't find that feeling anymore..." Unnamed lifted her head and sighed, "I've failed to meet the expectations of the Immortal Venerate."

Unnamed, of course, could no longer use that invincible Flash Step continuous slash, Ren Suo thought, sensing the Bond System. His face instantly darkened. I actually didn't manage to take advantage of the game console!

Since the clone inherited all the Abilities of the True Form, when Ren Suo equipped the clone with "Within Reach, Yet Worlds Apart," the clone naturally had it too.

Just now, Ren Suo had the clone and the True Form initiate "Within Reach, Worlds Apart - Blink" together, allowing unlimited Teleportation within 10 seconds. That was why they could completely ignore the Rebellion of the Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Faced Monster and forcefully whittle it down!

In Ren Suo's screen, all he needed to do was press the 'Dodge' and 'Attack' buttons. Whenever he dodged, the Great Sword Maiden would automatically Teleport to a safe place to Attack, fitting perfectly with Ren Suo's level of play.

He had the clone and the True Form initiate "Blink" together because, after using "Blink" just once, the entire Bond Skill would enter a 44-day cooldown. Ren Suo had wondered whether he could exploit a loophole by having the clone and True Form initiate the Skill simultaneously.

The clone and the True Form did activate it at the same time, but Ren Suo also found that the cooldown for the Bond Skill "Within Reach, Yet Worlds Apart" had become 88 days, shockingly accumulating the cooldown times of both uses.

However, using this trump card was absolutely worth it. Ren Suo had single-handedly resolved the almost unsolvable Great BOSS of the Second Chapter. And I didn't spend a single penny!

Just then, a green light suddenly rose from Unnamed's body, illuminating the entire underground space. The ground's sludge and black liquid all transformed into green Smoke, sweeping toward Unnamed!

Unnamed seemed to be at the eye of the storm, enveloped by the storm formed by the green Smoke!

"It is the human heart that is ever-changing, while Destiny remains immutable."

Following the voice of the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair, three cards emerged silently in the view: "Despair Era," "Cataclysm Era," and "Twilight Era."

The three cards had no images, only direct live scenes.

In the "Despair Era" scene, countless Transcendents were flying and fighting in the night sky over the metropolis. When their battles affected civilians, civilians would also suddenly unleash their supernatural power to join the fray, creating an utterly chaotic scene.

In the "Cataclysm Era" scene, several Transcendents were seen battling with terrifying supernatural powers like Orange-Red Flames, Azure Glacier, and Storm Thunderbolt, laying waste to the cities.

In the "Twilight Era" scene, within the ruins of a great city, a child of seven or eight was hiding in the Shadow with a fire axe. When another child carrying food walked by, the fire axe came crashing down...

"...But the human heart can also turn the tide of Destiny."

The three cards turned to ashes, blown by the wind onto the candles, causing the flames to burn even more fiercely.

"The girl successfully grasped Hope, slaying the Source of Disaster - Lord of Despair," said the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair. "She released the nurtured Energy, altering the future known as Despair.

The Girl received the blessing of the Dust of Hope, acquired the Eye of Despair, and obtained the Seed of Destiny."

At this moment, the storm of green Smoke enshrouding the Great Sword Maiden quietly dissipated. She radiated a green glow all over, her skin became even smoother, her eyes brightly gleamed, and not only did her visage grow increasingly beautiful, but even her hair turned green!

"Blessing of Hope: Physical Condition further enhanced, no longer affected by 'Card of Despair' (but 'Great Despair' will still take effect)."

Then the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair laid out four face-down cards on the wooden table and softly said, "So, which Path of Destiny will the girl step onto next?"

Just then, a thunderous noise sounded above the underground space, followed by the cracking open of a nearby rock layer revealing a passage. After a whirl of dust, several people jumped down from above.

At the front was a hunchbacked youth wrapped in a White Flame Dragon orbited by blue eyeballs, clearly not a pushover.

His expression was uncertain as he looked at Unnamed, who had just completed her Super-Evolution. After a moment, however, he charged toward Unnamed, apparently looking for a fight!

Something bad is about to happen! Ren Suo thought, and hurried to the Destiny Room to Move his pieces, randomly choosing one from the four cards.

At that moment, the hunchbacked young man had already charged over, and the Blue-Eyed White Flame Dragon on him rammed forward like a massive truck, effortlessly wiping away the ground's rocks as if they were ice cream!

What terrifying high temperatures!

Ren Suo quickly switched to the combat screen and was about to Dodge when he saw the 'Flash Step' sign appear and impulsively pressed the Attack button.

'Flash Step' + 'Just-In-Time Gauntlets'!

The Great Sword Maiden split the Blue-Eyed White Flame Dragon with a single stroke, and her sword momentum continued, hammering the hunchbacked young man away like a sledgehammer. He had protective Defensive Magic!

The live stream erupted with cheers: "Kill that creep!" "Pouncing on our Goddess right from the start!" "Thinks he can woo her with that ugly mug?"

Just as Ren Suo thought another battle was about to start, the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair in the Destiny Room finally spoke faintly, "The girl has embarked on another Path of Destiny."

The candle in the cabin flickered and went out.

The audience, with their experience from the first day, knew exactly what was coming when they saw this, and cries of dismay filled the live stream.

Meanwhile, Ren Suo switched to the underground space's screen and saw Unnamed's body emitting a blue light, clearly beginning to dissipate.

There was no longer time to say anything, but Ren Suo was very displeased with this group's eagerness to start a fight right away, so he gave a cold snort over the voice communication to warn them before Unnamed left.

After the Great Sword Maiden had completely disappeared, the people above the passage began to drop down one by one. Mr. Chuan pulled out the young man, who had been embedded into the wall.

"Is he, dead?"

"No," the young man coughed a few times, spat out some clotted blood, and then breathed more smoothly. "She's so strong!"

"To think she could disperse my Samadhi True Fire Blue-Eyed White Dragon form with a single sword strike and even shatter my 'Sky Gang Armor'!"

"With that level of swordsmanship and vision, she's at least Fifth Tier!"

Mr. Chuan nodded. "You, offended, her."

"It's called probing, and..." the young man, looking in the direction where the Great Sword Maiden disappeared, said, "There's a saying: no fight, no acquaintance."

"Such strength, such beauty, such a figure..." The young man stood up and slowly straightened his back, his spine emitting a series of cracks like thunder. "She, is worthy of being my Queen."

"Forget about it, she's a disciple of Fairy Palace. She won't even glance at a mortal emperor like you," Nan Xi mocked from behind.

The young man was unfazed. "Didn't you hear her proud 'Hmph' just now? She definitely realized that I am a strong man of the Human World worthy of her. That cute sound was clearly a hint for me to seek her out for mating! I, for one, love this sort of tsundere character!

So what if she's a Fairy Palace disciple? I've decided, she must bear me a crown prince!

But my Beloved Consort, don't be angry. Even though I won't be truly intimate with you before the crown prince is born, I promise to spread my affection evenly..."

"Get lost!"
