Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God

Within the increasingly violent water spout, Wang Yuyang, who had unlocked his flight ability, didn’t hesitate for a single second—he charged straight toward Lin Yu!

Though the fierce winds and surging currents constantly threw off his direction, the immense thrust from his boosters kept correcting his flight trajectory.

Within three seconds, he was level with Lin Yu at the same height.

But...

Lin Yu was no drifting leaf or rootless duckweed in the wind right now!

Earlier, he had used the moist water vapor to leverage the properties of the Prayer Water Necklace, helping him maintain balance in the wind.

Now that the tornado contained enough water to be called a water spout, Lin Yu naturally had the ability to move freely as well.

Watching Wang Yuyang dive at him, Lin Yu immediately manipulated the currents to pull himself out of the way.

”Swoosh!”

Lin Yu shot backward at extreme speed while sending another wave of water crashing toward Wang Yuyang.

Wang Yuyang didn’t dodge either. He relied on the hardness of his scales to smash through the water again, all while projecting and constructing a new weapon in his hands!

This weapon was directly connected to his battle armor, like adding a new component.

Soon, two metal hand cannons appeared on Wang Yuyang’s forearms, spitting out blazing red flames!

The flames burned at an extremely high temperature, instantly evaporating the moisture around Wang Yuyang, ensuring that water wouldn’t seep under his armor.

At the same time, the two streams of flame converged in front of him into a cone-shaped fan, aiming straight at Lin Yu!

Lin Yu immediately responded by gathering water into a wall to block the fiery torrent, even gradually pushing it back.

The two chased each other through the wind, fire and water clashing in a stalemate where neither could overpower the other.

”Whoosh—!”

In the stands outside, even though the spectators couldn’t see what was happening inside the tornado, the faint surges of water, the flashes of fire, and the figures darting up and down within it made the intensity of the battle painfully clear.

Seagull’s jaw dropped. ”This is supposed to be Second Tier? If I went in there, I’d get beaten into a vegetable within ten moves!”

”Don’t be so blindly confident,” Bi Fang said calmly. ”You couldn’t even last three moves.”

Even the steady High Mountain couldn’t sit still anymore.

”This is just too crazy...”

Especially since he remembered that Lin Yu was only an Assistant Team Leader—and he himself was the official Team Leader, which made him feel like he was coasting far too much.

A-Yin seemed to read High Mountain’s thoughts and shook his head. ”Don’t overthink it, Team Leader High. Those two fighting on the field are clearly not at the normal level of a Second Tier. Don’t forget, they’re both Unique Class holders... and May May is no ordinary team leader either. That guy even escaped from the Diviner once.”

Robin nodded and whispered, ”That’s right, he’s really strong... That escape wasn’t really because of me, either.”

Meanwhile, Tycoon and Grandmaster noticed something else.

Both of them looked at Li Hua.

”Oh ho, old pal, you gave the Prayer Water Necklace to this kid? You must think highly of him!”

Grandmaster spoke with keen interest. ”That thing works way better in his hands than in yours.”

Li Hua coughed lightly and ran a hand through his hair. ”I’m not very well-versed in Black Marsh world witchcraft, and I’m not exactly known for my mental strength, so giving it to him is making the best use of it.”

Grandmaster squinted. ”Are you planning to have him take over for you? What, are you thinking of breaking into the Heart Domain?”

”Not yet, Chief,” Li Hua said calmly, his tone more serious than before. ”But someday, it will happen.”

”As long as you know what you’re doing.”

Grandmaster said no more and returned his gaze to the field.

On the other side of the stands, among the Marauders, Fish was also marveling.

”Damn, those two are savage... Was I this savage when I was Second Tier? I don’t think so!”

She muttered to herself, and the fat man beside her let out a snicker.

”They’re both Unique Class holders, but yours is a bit lacking, Sister Fish. Sure, the Freelancer is strong early on, but if those two both reach Third Tier, I feel like you’d be toast!”

”Especially that Movie King guy... He can not only use multiple class abilities but even keep them permanently. He’s already got four now.”

As the fat man spoke, Fish gave him a nasty look.

”Who says I don’t have late-game potential? If that kid really ascends to Third Tier, his Exclusive Item might not even be half as useful as mine!”

”And besides, Neptune, you’re not even a Unique Class holder yourself, yet you’re judging me? You’re just a stinking Otaku—what makes you think you can sit at my table?”

The fat man spread his hands. ”Sister Fish, that’s a bit unfair. I’m not a combat type.”

”And besides, the Boss isn’t a Unique Class either... and Order’s boss, the General, isn’t either.”

The Diviner spoke unhurriedly. ”Alright, Neptune, Fish, stop bickering. We’re in front of all these people.”

”It’s fine to trade a few barbs internally, but right now, with all these outsiders around, you two are acting like kids. One’s the Deputy Chief of Yanjing, the other’s the branch chief of Jinsheng Province—can you stop acting like children?”

Neptune chuckled. ”You got it, Boss. My bad, my wording was off just now.”

”Anyway, we all know Sister Fish is definitely formidable.”

Fish crossed her arms and shook her head, making the ornaments on it jingle. ”Hmph, obviously.”

She looked back at the field. ”But those two aren’t bad... The Designer really does have something going on.”

”And that Director... well, no wonder the Boss has his eye on him.”

”These two must already be at the peak of Second Tier... no wonder they’re fighting so evenly.”

When the Diviner heard Fish’s words, he stared intently at the tornado, twirling coins between his fingers.

”Evenly? I’m not so sure...”

His gaze locked precisely onto Lin Yu’s figure within the water spout.

”I don’t have any solid evidence, but my gut tells me... that Order guy is hiding his strength.”

”It looks like he’s going all out and fighting with everything he has, but one of them is actually taking it easy.”

He muttered.

It was just intuition, but... he was the Diviner.

His intuition was never just simple intuition.

So when he said this, even the Marauders were shocked.

”They’re fighting like this, and you’re saying that Director still has power to spare?”

”That’s just unbelievable!”

Neptune said in confusion.

Fish frowned too. ”In that case, shouldn’t we go all out to snipe him? If someone like that ascends to Third Tier... wouldn’t that be a huge problem for us?”

The Diviner shook his head again.

”Not necessarily. Because my gut also tells me... that he’s not entirely on the same page as Order.”
