I Am the God of Games Chapter 361 - Optimal Solution

Chapter 361 Optimal Solution

The strongest party of Players led by Edward, joined by Mufasa, Twin City Cup champion and top Player as well as Leah, who holds the hidden cla.s.s of Warrior Princess.

Aside from Eleena being absent and Jessica not wielding Sefarim, they were very much the strongest and grandest lineup of Players.

Therefore, the outcome was imaginable when these elites fought the Level 30 s.h.i.+ning behemoth bug called Muta the Black Dragon Python.

They were all eaten by the latter.

“There’s no winning here!”

Joe exclaimed, leaning on the resp.a.w.n platform above the head of the tortoise colossus. “We just can’t deal enough damage whether we used normal attacks or colored skills! Once its head-if you call that a head

-closes in, we would be caught by the tentacles inside its mouth, dragged inside and be eaten! Even sacrificing Mister Marni failed. We are really out of options here…”

Even Leah, who had been very excited about going on an adventure was showing disgust on her face.

She was fine with dying, since was there any Player who had not died before?

On the other hand, having tentacles coiling around you and then slowly melting was so utterly horrible that it would leave anyone with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“There has to be a way to clear it. Why else would the G.o.d of Games hold this event?”

Edward insisted, his faith in the G.o.d of Games remaining ever firm.

That being said, his tone was not convincing.

“I think so too, although we didn’t notice it…” Gou Dan agreed, whether because of his journalist instincts or having noticed some signs in the fight.

“Are you alright, Mister Mufasa?” Jessica was about to console Edward, but when she found Edward being rather spirited, the caring girl turned towards the pensive Mufasa who had not made a sound for a while.

At the moment, Mufasa had taken off his beloved pink flatfish head mask into a normal barbarian helm-it seems that dying just now had affected him quite a bit.

And with his name having been called, Mufasa stopped playing dead and voiced his opinion.

“Do you think we might have mistaken the clearing conditions?’ “Clearing conditions?”

Edward did a double take, before coming to a realization. “Ah, are you talking about sinking?”

In other words, there has to be another way to clear the Dark Sky Stratum since killing every last monster inside was not an option.

At first, Edward a.s.sumed that the clearing condition was to dive down a certain depth without getting the monsters’ attention.

But after Mufasa mentioned it, he noticed that something was not right.

In turn, Mufasa struck the iron was hot and continued, “And if we think about it carefully, we would find the flaw in many aspects.”

And the flaw that Edward found was very simple.

The Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) has an identical time flow as the outside, meaning that time pa.s.ses the same for everyone, whether inside or outside the SIN.

And therein lies the problem.

It took almost a day for Edward to group up and form another new party to clear the Dark Sky Stratum!

In other words, it meant that Mufasa had to be floating in the Dark Sky (his senses had become reversed compared to Edwards’ group) for most of a day as well.

Nonetheless, it took less than an hour for Edward’s party to clear the Deep Wall Stratum and find Mufasa. The time they used was simply unequal, because it clearly doesn’t make sense that they just needed an hour to catch up to Mufasa after he journeyed for almost a day.

Still, since things were dangerous what with Mufasa was being chased by Muta the Black Dragon Python, no one noticed that little fact.

“Moreover, it is just not right in the perspective of us defeated…” Mufasa added when he saw that everyone accepted his idea. “There is that level thirty s.h.i.+ning behemoth, Muta…”

The phenomenon all indicated that they are not going to sink down in one go. “When you mention it, I wonder if I was seeing things, but when I was eaten, I could vaguely see something like a key inside that thing’s stomach…” Princess Leah said then.

She was the most tanky Player even though her level was lower compared to the others. Given that her Defense and HP levels were much higher than the average Player, she survived longer and therefore lasted longest (and being tormented) in the monster’s stomach.

“I see! I got it now!”

Edward’s eyes brightened at that, finally getting the key of the matter.

“Mister’s Mufasa first theory is wrong. Although the monster food chain in the Dark Sky Stratum would increase the luminescence in their body, those lights are limited and would dim over time! Moreover, Muta is only level thirty, which means that the theory that brighter monsters are more dangerous is wrong. From the very start, the bright bodies that we could see from afar is the key to clearing that floor!”

Even as Edward explained his idea to the others, he was tidying his ideas in the process. “Like the Abyssal Curse in the Deep Wall, it is a hint that tells us that those s.h.i.+ny creatures hold the key to clearing that stratum inside their bodies?”

Joe still looked despondent. “Even so, we can’t beat those guys…”

“No, if I’m right, we don’t have to beat them!” Edward continued. “If the quest item is one of Muta’s organs, we would have to kill it. But if the quest item is simply inside its body like how Princess Leah saw it, we don’t have to fight it to the death because there is a simple way.”

Leah immediately understood Edward’s idea at his words “So, you’re saying that we should enter its body on our own, and before we melt, activate the quest item that sends us to the next floor?”

“That’s right. With everything impossible eliminated, this is the optimal solution we have with how things look now!” Edward said seriously, before putting a look of admiration. “He truly is the G.o.d of Games, immediately arranging something like this after noticing that we had been a little low on morale lately, allowing us to recognize our dispositions once again…”
