But when Loki entered the core of the temple to modify the game's content, the sense of crisis that had been constantly enveloping Loki disappeared.
Just as Loki felt a sense of relief, Just as Loki was about to modify the game's content, he suddenly discovered that a mission panel had popped up in front of him.
However, this mission was completely different from previous missions.
On the system interface in front of him, a row of large characters was displayed.
'Mandatory mission triggered!'
'Modify the island's protective barrier within three hours, eliminating all methods of leaving the game.'
'Timer started!'
'2:59:59'
The suddenly triggered mission caught Loki completely off guard.
"Mandatory mission!"
"What does that mean? Is it something I have to complete?"
Loki's first thought wasn't about why the mandatory mission had been triggered, but to go outside and take a look.
However, his thoughts had absolutely no connection to his body's actions.
His body skillfully opened the game's core.
Then, Loki stopped there.
He didn't move at all.
Loki wanted to leave, but his body wouldn't listen to him at all.
"I can't control my body!"
This made his eyes turn cold.
The sense of security that his powerful strength had given him for so long instantly vanished.
Power! Power! His power was still too weak.
If he was really strong enough, the system wouldn't be able to control him so easily.
Loki looked at the game core in front of him with a grim face.
He started trying to modify it according to what the system had said.
Sure enough, as soon as the thought appeared, his body seemed to instantly become free of any restraints.
It began to act according to his thoughts.
However, when Loki suddenly wanted to close the game core, his body lost control again.
At this point, although Loki didn't understand how the system was trapping him, it was clear that if he didn't do what the system said, he wouldn't be able to move at all for the next three hours.
This mission didn't show any rewards, and Loki didn't know if there would be a penalty for failure.
After all, this was a mandatory mission. What would the penalty be if he failed?
Loki didn't want to personally test the consequences of failure.
Although he didn't understand what had caused this strange mission to be triggered, there was one thing that Loki felt certain about, and that was that
this kind of special mission would definitely have a great reward.
As long as he completed the mission.
Thinking of this, Loki's unpleasant mood lessened somewhat, and he began to focus on completing the mission.
Modify the island's protective barrier and cut off all ways to leave the island.
The simplest way would be to directly delete cards like Departure or Ticket.
But the problem was that the game's operating rules, set by Ging, didn't allow him to delete things as he pleased.
Deleting things directly would cause the game to crash.
In the remade Greed Island, everything was built on the power of the Dragon Balls.
This was also the way to repair the Dragon Balls.
Using Nen to repair the Dragon Balls, which should have been repaired with divine power, required setting up a set of rules and strengthening the power in order to repair them.
And because he was repairing the Dragon Balls, Loki had indirectly erased Nanika.
This strange, unknown being.
Its power had already merged with the Dragon Balls.
And the fundamental reason that kept them stable and fused together was the game itself.
The vast, complex, and meticulous rules created by Ging were all in service of the core Dragon Balls.
They restrained Nanika's power.
If Loki deleted cards at will, he would be destroying this restraining force.
This could cause Nanika and the Dragon Balls to separate, causing the game to crash.
And the unknown being that was released might cause terrifying destruction.
So the most direct method wouldn't work.
He had to make modifications.
While making modifications, he also had to create many equally rigorous rules to restrain the connection between Nanika and the Dragon Balls.
This wasn't a small project.
But Loki only had three hours.
Strictly speaking, he had two hours and fifty minutes left.
The countdown continued.
And Loki entered a state of complete concentration.
The Anti-Beyond Alliance was holding a meeting in Rimuru, the largest town in the game.
Compared to what it used to be, Rimuru had undergone a huge transformation.
This was a huge town that had originally been built as the most important gathering point for players after the remake.
However, the reality was that Sopraffi, Masadora, or the gambling city of Doriaux were more popular with players than Rimuru.
This was because Rimuru didn't have any important card acquisition points.
It only had some unimportant C- or D-rank cards.
There weren't many players here. Most of them were marginalized players who had come here to gather.
But this time, several of the larger organizations, teams, or player squads among the solo players had gathered here.
There were also strategy teams hired by financial groups.
The Hunter Alliance of the Hunter Association.
And a team of newcomers who had awakened Nen through the Spring of Life.
These people had awakened their abilities through the Spring of Life card, but they weren't Beyond's people.
There were dark dealings everywhere.
Beyond's subordinates were no exception. Although the value of a Spring of Life card didn't reach a hundred billion Jenny anymore, it still cost tens of millions of Jenny.
And Beyond was also short on money, so he turned a blind eye to these cards that were leaking out from his subordinates.
As long as they weren't the original cards, but just copies, there was no problem.
On the streets of Rimuru, those marginalized players, who weren't strong but weren't weak either, formed teams that were no match for these top teams.
They could only watch from the sides of the road.
One famous figure after another entered Rimuru.
Beyond was well aware of this large gathering.
But he didn't need to provoke these people just yet.
The final battle was bound to happen, but that would be after the seventh Dragon Ball was triggered.
Before that, Beyond wanted a little more time to prepare.
Besides Rimuru, another place where players were gathering in large numbers was Beyond's base, the location where the Spring of Life card was located, which the players called the Lake of Life.
While others were gathering to cause trouble, Beyond also had to gather the people he had left on the island.
He wanted to boost their morale and show them how many people he had under his command.
This kind of gathering would make Beyond's Nen users less afraid, even when facing a joint attack from the players.
The sight of tens of thousands of people gathering together was quite spectacular.
And all of these tens of thousands of people were Nen users.
There were basically no players on Greed Island who were idle.
With the increase in the number of Nen users, those without strength had long been eliminated.
And if you didn't have a certain level of strength, you wouldn't feel safe on this island, where Nen users were everywhere.
Because even the most inconspicuous player might possess a terrifying ability.
One wrong move and you could become a puppet of a Manipulator-type Nen user.
Or you could have some strange ability applied to you by a Transmuter- or Conjurer-type Nen user.
So, after three months, there were no completely clueless Nen users left on Greed Island.
They had all mastered at least the skills to protect themselves.
In Rimuru, several large player teams and top strategy squads had gathered together.
Their goal was very clear.
There was only one thing.
