[ As the Rover's Resonance Energy clashed with the Crownless's Annihilation Energy—!
The mere impact generated by the two energies was enough to send the other three women flying—!
Then, an invisible barrier sealed off the Crownless and the Rover—!
When the three women recovered and got up, Bai Zhi and Chixia were already outside the barrier…
As for Yangyang, should one say she was lucky? Or unlucky—!
She just happened to land right at the edge of the barrier, and coincidentally, within its confines.
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
With an explosion, this clash between the Rover and the Crownless finally had a result.
The Crownless glided back several steps, while the Rover glided back more than ten steps—!
However, he still used this opportunity to immediately stand in front of Yangyang, shielding her behind him.
Then, the Rover's previously calm expression now became extremely serious—!
Although the Crownless before him was not at its peak, hadn't he just awakened himself? ]

" In Between "
"Oh. Reality and games are indeed two completely different concepts."
"If I remember correctly, back then this thing had no pressure whatsoever; anyone could beat it."
Rover, seeing that scene in the video, immediately grumbled somewhat sourly.
Because he remembered very clearly that in his so-called game, the entire main story had no difficult parts.
And the initial boss was the weakest of the weak; if you didn't attack, it would just keep raising its hand from afar.
"Rover, what game are you talking about?"
Yangyang and Chixia, who were engrossed in watching, didn't quite catch what the Rover said.
However, they did hear the word "game," which made them ask out of curiosity.
And at this moment, Yangyang, perhaps completely immersed, looked at the Rover with a hint of apology.
In her opinion, her video self seemed to be a burden to him… Plus, with the previous question, it was said that she and he defeated the Crownless together.
As a result, the shyness in her heart naturally became even more intense.
"Nothing, let's watch the video first."
"Yangyang, don't overthink it. If salvation can't even protect the people you care about around you..."
"Then what have I saved, you ask?"
Rover smiled and gently shook his head, then tightened his embrace around the girl.
What happened next in the video was indeed vastly different from the game's content.

[ Sure enough, the Crownless in the video revealed a human-like smile.
Facing the Rover like an old friend not seen for years, it didn't rush to attack him.
Instead, a hoarse, hollow voice, seemingly from the void and carrying a sense of devouring everything, came forth—!
"You have finally appeared." ]

Aalto: "Oh~ So the Crownless and the Rover actually know each other?"
Crownless: "Hmph…. Of course, we know each other. (But that wasn't the current me; it was merely that guy's puppet.)"
.....
" In Between "
After saying this, the Crownless looked with a complex expression at the still-unawakened Tacet Discord self.
It knew very well that if it didn't have its independent consciousness now, it would probably be the other party's puppet in this life again.
But now that it possessed a complete consciousness, it naturally wanted to make a gamble.
And its plans had begun to unfold silently in the shadows.

[ But the Rover in the video gave no response to the Crownless's question.
Are you kidding me? As a Sigma male, the Rover claimed to have forgotten everything when facing pretty girls.
How could he remember this thing completely controlled by the Resonator?
The Rover didn't speak, just stared at the annihilation energy spreading beneath the Crownless's feet…
As annihilation energy originating from the Resonator, it was purple with tiny black specks. Wherever it passed, rocks silently turned to dust, and even the sound of the wind was swallowed.
Seeing that the Rover completely ignored its intentions, the Crownless suddenly raised a hand… An incredibly powerful surge of annihilation energy formed a spear in its hand.
"Go." With a soft cry, the spear pierced through the sky, letting out a piercing shriek.
The Rover's pupils contracted sharply. He could feel the terrifying emanation from the spear… That wasn't an ordinary attack, but annihilation power directly targeting resonance frequencies—!
If struck, his diffraction attribute might even be completely erased.
"Echo, resonate here." The Rover no longer held back.
He gathered an incredibly powerful surge of diffraction energy into his right fist and punched fiercely towards the incoming spear.
Instantly, a giant golden shield formed in front of him, within which a brief time-stop zone seemed to have formed.
When the spear thrown by the Crownless entered it, it floated completely in the air, unable to advance an inch.
"Oh. Is this all the power you have left?"
"If it's only this level, then your journey in this life will end here."
Seeing its spear blocked, the Crownless not only showed no worry… but instead became brimming with confidence after testing the Rover's strength.
And precisely for this reason, it also declared it would no longer hold back.
It formed hand seals, and the annihilation energy beneath its feet suddenly surged, forming a giant black ring that enveloped the entire area.
Within the ring, space began to distort, and everything seemed to be continuously devoured by some invisible force.
"Welcome to my Annihilation Domain. To show respect… I will unleash my full power to send you on your way here."
The Crownless's body now completely merged into the domain, and its strength also rose from the initial Raging Tide peak to the Tsunami level. ]

Calcharo: "That power, although only an early Tsunami… but once it's linked to the Resonator, it definitely cannot be viewed with common sense anymore."
Scar: "No wonder Phrolova, you said that guy wasn't simple. So it's actually the Resonator's puppet… With such power, I should have fought it earlier."
Phrolova: "At this level, Scar, your annihilation energy is practically completely suppressed."
Chat group members: "Is this the power of the Tacet Discord? Could it be… that the Tacet Discord is truly invincible?"
