Chapter 503 Helpless Cooperation
"System restart successful!" Yun was so excited that he almost jumped up when he heard this voice. He waited for a long time, and finally the system returned to normal.
"System, you're finally okay. If you weren't okay anymore I would go crazy." Yun said with a hint of complaint.
This period of time was simply a nightmare for him, being trapped in endless battles without any rest, this kind of extreme boredom could easily make people collapse. However, when he was ready to make good use of the system, he got this answer: "The system is disturbed and temporarily unavailable!"
"What's going on? I've been waiting for so long and yet it's not available." Yun's mood instantly plummeted.
"Can we chat for a while?" Yun asked helplessly, trying to find some comfort. However, the system's answer was still cold and indifferent: "The system is recovering, and we can only introduce the functions." Then, the system's voice turned into an emotionless mechanical voice, which made Yun even more frustrated.
At this time, the system sent another shocking message: "After testing, 10% of the Titan energy has been consumed."
"I've been fighting for several months and I've only made 10%. No, I can't take it anymore. If I continue, I'll collapse." Yun muttered to himself. He felt that his willpower had reached its limit. He had been fighting for several months, but his progress was only 10%. This sleepless and continuous fighting made him feel exhausted, and he felt that he was about to collapse.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Master Yun." Yun stood up alertly, and he realized that the voice came from Xal'atath. He was hiding in the corner of the pit to rest. If it weren't for the fact that the dark creatures couldn't sense his presence, they could only search around to find him. And fortunately, this place was big enough, and Yun could always find some corners to rest for a while, otherwise he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
Yun asked in surprise: "Where... are you? I've been around here for many times, but I haven't seen you." He was very confused because he was very familiar with this place, even some hard-to-see corners. However, he had not found any trace of Xal'atath. At first, he was worried that Xal'atath might have been defeated by N'Zoth, but now hearing her voice, he couldn't help but feel shocked and curious.
"I am in the outer node now. Thanks to you for providing a large amount of dark energy, I can recover a little." said Sartharion.
"What? You are also in the outer node? And you have absorbed all the dark energy? Then when can I consume all the Titan energy?" Yun was helpless and speechless after hearing this news. He was originally troubled by the Titan seal and had been trying to consume the Titan energy, but the progress was slow. Now, another ancient god, Xalatas, who can absorb dark energy, has appeared, which makes him feel more stressed. It seems that even if he works very hard, it will be difficult to complete the task.
"That's not the case. I was tricked by N'Zoth to come here. He tried to use my power to confuse the Titans and advance his plan. The dark energy you gave me can be used to consume the Titans' energy. Only when the Titans' energy is exhausted can I have a chance to start recovering." Xal'atath explained anxiously. As soon as she was teleported here, she realized that she had fallen into N'Zoth's trap. She was already weak, and it was even more difficult for her to survive here. Sure enough, N'Zoth placed her in the outer node and used Xal'atath's last bit of energy to buy him some time. Feeling the energy in her body gradually disappear, Xal'atath fell into despair.
However, when she noticed that dark energy was flowing in continuously, the erosion of Titan energy was suppressed, and she seemed to see a glimmer of hope. As the dark energy continued to increase, Xal'atath gradually recovered some of his vitality. At this time, she began to feel the changes in Ny'alotha, and knew that she could only survive if she cooperated with someone who could continuously provide dark energy.
After feeling around, he found that it was Yun. He didn't expect that Yun was not only not defeated by N'Zoth, but also killed a lot of people in Neo'losa. The dark energy gathered by killing the dark creatures came over. Sartharion really couldn't imagine how many dark creatures Yun had killed. After observing for a while and seeing Yun's strength, Sartharion knew that if he took action now while he could still help Yun, there would be hope of survival. If he waited until Yun became really strong and he was useless, he would know the outcome.
So, Sartharion mustered up the courage to start communicating with Yun.
"Humph!" Yun snorted coldly: "You were also deceived by Enzos. In view of this, I will at most not argue with you too much, but don't expect me to help you with anything."
Sarthas said quickly: "That's not the case. I hope we can cooperate."
"Hehe..." Yun sneered twice and said sarcastically: "Cooperation? Weren't you indifferent when I asked you for cooperation before? You remember me now?" She looked at the other party angrily, thinking to herself, why many people always fail to cherish the opportunities and people in front of them, and have to wait until they hit a wall before they think of turning back.
Xalatas sensed Yun's anger and quickly changed his tone: "Then can you help me?"
"No time!" Yun answered bluntly, "I can barely take care of myself, how can I care about you?"
Xal'atath said anxiously: "Don't worry about me, our goal is the same, we all want to leave here. This is Ny'alotha, N'Zoth has endless energy here, we can't fight him at all, we only have a chance if we escape first. So we can cooperate and escape together!"
"Don't... I'm not interested. I just want to go on my own. None of you are reliable. I have always been devoted to you. I hope we can develop together. Sargeras has already said that it will take too much time for me to grow up. There are too many variables in the middle. Even if I can grow up, I will be too weak for them. It will be too late to deal with them at that time." Yun had been holding back for too long. Even if he didn't want to cooperate with Xal'atath, he really wanted to have a good talk. He spoke out all his dissatisfaction, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his tone.
"Look at his magnanimity. No wonder he could become the leader of the Burning Legion and destroy the Pantheon. That's the difference. You guys always scheme for such a small matter, and finally you can only stay here and wait to be destroyed." Yun continued, revealing his disappointment and dissatisfaction with Xal'atath and others. He believed that Xal'atath and others lacked foresight and vision, and only focused on the immediate interests, while ignoring more important things.
"What happened to the Pantheon?" Xalatas was also very surprised. She didn't expect Yun to suddenly mention the Pantheon and say that it had been destroyed. She knew that the Pantheon was very powerful. If there was really a problem with the Pantheon, many other places would also have problems.
"Yun looked at them with some confusion: "Don't you know anything?" He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how could they know nothing about such a big thing as the destruction of the Pantheon? After all, in the game, after the Pantheon was in trouble, Leiden sensed the abnormality of the Pantheon. He firmly believed that the Titan who appeared in the invincible was in trouble, and his faith had great problems, which led to problems with his thinking, thus causing some problems such as the loosening of the ancient god cage. It can be said that the Pantheon is the source of all events. They were unaware of such an important thing, especially the ancient gods like N'Zoth and Xal'atath, could it be that they really couldn't feel anything at all?
"I really don't feel there is any problem in this regard. However, the source of the Titans' energy is completely different from ours. They are born with powerful strength, but their subsequent development is very limited. We need a long time to grow, but our potential is unlimited. This is the most essential difference between us. Because of this, our perspectives and ways of looking at things are completely different. We are more concerned about how to make ourselves grow and become stronger." Seeing that Yun knew nothing about the ancient gods' growth path, Sartharion patiently explained.
"Damn it, here we go again!" Yun couldn't help but curse when he saw that his hiding place was discovered, and then he once again threw himself into the fierce battle.
"You are very strong, but if you keep going like this, you will die of exhaustion sooner or later," said Xal'atath, with a hint of worry and concern in her voice.
Yun stopped what he was doing, gasped and asked, "I know, do you have any solution?" His eyes were firm and resolute, and he seemed full of confidence in the next challenge.
Xal'atath was silent for a moment, then replied: "If you want to leave here, you must accumulate enough dark energy, so killing the dark creatures is the only way. What I can do is to create a small area that can shield other dark creatures, so that you have a place to rest for a while." Her tone was calm and firm, as if conveying a kind of power to the clouds.
Yun was moved when he heard this. He knew that his long battle had made his body extremely tired. Although the strength of the dark creatures was not great, the abnormal fatigue had caused him to suffer many injuries. If he could not rest properly, he might not be able to hold on.
Despite Xal'atath's explanations and reasons, Yun was still unsure if she was part of N'Zoth's plan. N'Zoth may have realized that his dark creatures could not pose a threat to Yun, and therefore came up with other ways to fight Yun.
Likewise, it is possible that everything Xal'atath said was true, but it is also entirely possible that he deceived Yun again when he finally left. Yun is currently in a state of caution, as he has been tricked by these old gods many times before.
"No need, I'd better rely on myself." Yun replied after thinking for a moment.
"But if you go on like this, you will gradually be exhausted and die. The Titan's energy consumption is less than one-third, and in your current condition, it has not even reached half of the consumption. Why are you so stubborn? I did lie to you before, but that was for my own benefit. This time I really hope to get out, and our cooperation will benefit both parties." Sartharion regards Yun as his last straw and naturally will not give up easily.
"You have tricked me twice. I can't stand it anymore." Yun gritted his teeth and said, his voice full of anger and helplessness. At this time, he was fighting the enemy while enduring the pain from the increasing wounds on his body. However, no matter what, he still insisted on talking to Xal'atath. Although it was a little difficult for him, it was also a way to boost his spirits.
"Don't think about me now. You need to rest now. No matter it's a trap or not, you have to go, otherwise you will die soon. You can only consider other things if you stay alive." Sartharion suggested anxiously. She knew that Yun was in a difficult situation at the moment, but she also understood that her role at this time was to help Yun the most. Only by helping Yun could she have hope of survival.
"But..." A huge feeling of exhaustion surged into Yun's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He knew that what Xal'atath said made sense, but his heart was still full of doubts and worries. After all, this proposal might hide unknown risks, and he had been deceived and hurt too much before.
"Don't say buts. Are you willing to die here? We were all plotted against by N'Zoth, don't you want revenge? It's not just N'Zoth who is plotting against you. Can you let those people outside live freely? Once you die here, your energy will be absorbed by N'Zoth, and he will become even more powerful. Is this what you want to see?" Sartharion continued to persuade, trying to arouse the fighting spirit and determination deep in Yun's heart.
"I..." Yun felt that she was extremely sleepy. Even the huge pain caused by the faceless man's tentacles whipping her body could only make her slightly awake. But this short awakening could not change her current predicament. She knew that she had to make a decision, and as soon as possible.
"Don't hesitate, go down. I used my last energy to open a small space. You should be able to see a black door. You can rest inside." Sartharion said directly.
Yun wanted to hesitate, but his body had already started to move downwards involuntarily. Every step felt very heavy, but he still insisted on moving forward. Fortunately, there were no dark creatures chasing him from behind for the time being. It might also be that Xal'atath's words made Yun feel that it was time to rest, and his physical fatigue suddenly intensified.
Not long after walking, he saw a gate made of black energy, which exuded a mysterious and profound aura. Yun wanted to say something, but his extremely weak body fell directly towards the gate.
His consciousness gradually became blurred, everything went dark before his eyes, and he eventually lost consciousness and passed out.
