Chapter 816: Chapter 816 The Rule of the World
Regarding “World Rule”.
Han Dong dared to say that there were no more than ten people in the entire Holy City who understood this vast rule better than him.
Moreover, Han Dong was definitely included as an individual under this rule, and he enjoyed priority.
You see, Han Dong held a “double messenger” status outside the city…
The reason he stepped into the Art Gallery was because of ‘rules’.
From the first negotiation between the Expeditionary Army and the Messenger of Perugia City until now, all actions had been constrained by the World Rule.
If anyone dared to violate this rule, Han Dong had the right to directly request support from the Old King behind him, or even to make a direct judgment.
First, let’s briefly talk about this important “World Rule”.
Four years ago.
Under the name of “Yellow mark”, Han Dong seized the land deed of Stuart Manor.
When he penned down his name in the agent’s column, a sea of words-like massive amount of “World Rule” analysis information was forcibly injected into Han Dong’s brain like a liquid.
At the time.
The main aspects involved were “Land Deed War”, “Scale of Land Deeds and Personnel Limits”, and “Small Land Deed Lord’s Executable Authorities”, among other rules related to lords and land deeds.
It also roughly outlined the gist of the World Rules.
The world, seemingly occupied by indescribable beings,
was, in fact, covered by layers of comprehensive rules connected by points and lines, which shocked the newly informed Han Dong immensely.
Some details in the World Rules were even more perfected than the laws created by human civilization.
Han Dong also later successfully utilized “Land Deed War” in the World Rules, challenged the Scarlet Count fairly and publicly, and seized an important Movable Deed.
“World Rule” is mainly used to restrain interventions of higher ranks, to rationalize wars, to rationalize the meaning of life forms’ existence, and to allow everything to develop according to the laws of cosmic growth.
A King-Level Existence is lethal to any civilization, yet the universe itself allows any civilization’s existence and development.
If any minor war allowed King-Level involvement, the Earth would disintegrate in a short period and all life forms below King-Level would be mere ants, susceptible to Death at any moment.
No civilization would be able to develop, and the constantly infighting Old Kings would also fall one after another.
Therefore.
King-Level, or some Mythical Level existences, their actions are restrained.
If a King-Level wanted to intervene in a war below its rank, it would need to satisfy a multitude of precursor conditions.
For example, involving its own interests, receiving the devout calls of its direct subordinates, and consuming a certain amount of ‘wealth’.
Even if all the above conditions are met for it to descend, its main body would still be suppressed.
This is akin to the “Old King Incident” that once happened at Stuart Manor.
The arrival of M.O., carried a lot of coincidences and was also restricted… This is also why it was ultimately stopped by the returning Death God, considering the comprehensive combat power of the Holy City and choosing not to continue the attack.
The “World Rule” conforming to life evolution was acknowledged by all the Old Kings.
Such rules also benefit the development of all life forms, perpetuating ‘wars’ of various sizes, equal wars between different species, and even equivalent wars between different planets, thereby creating more ‘kings’.
To accelerate the increase of the overall “Entropy value” of the universe.
Many things in the above rules are still beyond Han Dong’s reach.
As Han Dong’s rank as a ‘Lord’ continuously rose, he would gain more information about the World Rule.
It was precisely through numerous investigative missions and medium to small-scale expeditions that humans were able to perceive and confirm the existence of “World Rule”, and thus propose the grand plan of “Big Expedition”.
Otherwise, attacking the City of Demons so magnificently would have been easily suppressed by a few Old Kings surrounding the Expeditionary Army.
…
Presently.
The Expeditionary Army was concentrated at the foothills of Perugia City.
As soon as Han Dong and others returned, they would sign the “Siege Book” with the Demon Lord of the city, a war treaty in accordance with World Rule.
Among the most critical points was that the military force sent by the siege party could only equal or be less than that of the defending party.
This is why the expeditionary army could not directly dispatch “one marshal and four generals” to flatten Perugia City and needed to organize siege forces.
How much military force each side has is not merely up to them to decide.
When signing the “Siege Book,” the “World Rule” would manifest on the paper the corresponding values of military force for both sides.
Only after the “siege index is less than or equal to the defense index,” would they continue to sign some subordinate treaties of importance.
As long as the siege is initiated under the “World Rule,” forces outside of the “Siege Book” could not participate.
Any forceful intervention would be met with punishment from a higher authority.
Even the “Upper Old King” behind Perugia was restricted and unable to arrive on the battlefield.
Even if this Old King briefly appeared, his actions unrelated to the war still required him to pay a certain “price” for “intervening in lower-ranking events.”
This was also why the Lord of Perugia was utterly puzzled by the “descent.”
The Lord had a good sense of self-awareness, he was clear that an existence equal to the universe wouldn’t bother descending for him…
Perhaps the King was suddenly in the mood to see how much strength the ant-like humans had accumulated after centuries of retreating or maybe he descended for some other reason.
What exactly is that reason?
…
The view switches back to Han Dong’s side.
“Art Gallery”
“Indeed… this here is the spatial passageway leading to the inner city of Perugia.
Thanks to the trust of senior Charlie, I may need to borrow his formidable power next.
We need to disintegrate this city’s fundamental structure from the inside, in conjunction with the siege forces fighting outside, we will surely take this city with minimal cost.”
Charlie’s expression was serene, “I’ve said it before, I owe you a favor… use it however you want.”
“Good!”
Han Dong and his companions were in a corridor twisted with grey matter.
The artworks and sculptures placed on either side of the passage were twisted yet vivid in posture.
The desecrating noise of rats grew louder by the ears, producing strong mental intrusions every second.
Common knights in such an environment would undergo rapid “human form loss,” transforming into fleshlike art pieces and becoming part of the Art Gallery.
Just then.
Han Dong plucked a red fruit from the Talent Tree and devoured it, then smeared the juice over his face.
The Black Vortex on the surface of his body trunk began to rotate slowly.
No longer suppressing, no longer restraining.
The sound of innate mad laughter emanated from Han Dong.
It wasn’t just his mouth producing the sound; the “Black Vortex Trunk,” perfectly connected to the brain, was also vocalizing… the laughter instantly overwhelmed the sum of the “blasphemous sound” in the Art Gallery.
When the mad laughter overshadowed the rat squeals, on the surface of these vivid artworks, one could see faces twisted in sheer terror.
Moreover, as the intensity of the laughter increased, grey tentacles with spots also began to appear on the surfaces of various artworks, [“reverse contamination”].
Ha ha ha ha! Ah, ah ha ha~~
Han Dong’s laughter echoed through the corridor for a long time until all the artworks dissolved into a pool of lifeless dense water.
Even the face of Knight Charlie was filled with shock.
This was the “Perfect Mad Laugh” that Han Dong had achieved after countless efforts, paired with the Faceless Skull, it was almost unsolvable on the mental level.
The laughter gradually retracted into his body,
Wiping off the saliva at the corners of his mouth,
Han Dong raised his fingers toward the end of the corridor, “Let’s go.”
