Madness Peak requires Wen Xishu to choose whether to exchange identities with the Tower Guardian or switch attributes.
However, this choice has yet to appear, and Wen Xishu didn't expect that Madness Peak would be quite considerate...
Considerate enough to actually allow boss selection.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
To rescue Senior Evelyn.
If, through questioning, he selects the progenitor of the Destructive who can control time...
Will he be able to dissolve Evelyn's crisis?
Even though Evelyn has been in the Desire Tower for six days, there's a possibility that she has perished in the past few days...
But as long as there's no definite result, Wen Xishu is eager to give it a try.
"Among you, who possesses the Time Ability? Step forward if you possess it, step back if you don't."
He wasn't sure how many questions he could ask. He could only take one step at a time, sorting through them.
Many monsters retreated. Only fewer than five remained standing.
Among them, one was dressed in flowing garments, and though only an outline could be seen, it felt like a swordsman holding a sword.
An ancient person? An entity from an ancient lineage... perhaps related to Aries? A contributor to the Tower Power Value!
This ancient swordsman was not a samurai of the Japanese style, but rather a Longxia style.
Wen Xishu suddenly became interested, after all... ancient beings very likely relate to the Tower Power Value.
A swordsman from ancient times who holds Temporal Ability? Just at first glance, it's filled with stories.
Exchanging attributes or identities with him seems worth attempting.
Initially, Wen Xishu hadn't noticed this swordsman because the crowd up front was dense with numerous bizarre bosses.
Temporal Ability is indeed rare.
No wonder it's always challenging to increase affinity with the black-and-white striped fish girl.
Wen Xishu roughly calculated, accounting for less than one percent.
Wen Xishu knitted his brows, not because of the low proportion, but because he discovered something.
In the distance, those people neither stepped back nor stepped forward.
They remained where they were, not receiving his command.
He pondered a possibility.
"Hierarchy..."
"Could it be that the ones in the distance are high-tier monsters, and my voice is too low for them to hear?"
"Or perhaps, those in the distance are low-tier monsters beyond my current reach?"
This inner perplexity surprisingly found an answer quickly.
[To make the question of the heart spread further, increase the Anti-Magic Value.]
This prompt appeared most appropriately.
"I see, the Mad Dice is considered a Divine Artifact, yet using it requires certain basic attributes, of which Anti-Magic Value is one."
Wen Xishu's Anti-Magic Value falls short... or rather, it's not inadequate; his voice indeed carries far.
But it still can't reach the furthest places.
This made Wen Xishu a bit disheartened.
"It seems those distant entities are indeed high-tier monsters, at around the ninetieth level..."
"Without being extraordinary, I really can't access such places. But this time, the Mad Dice seems not to have been cast; Madness Peak is a special kind of starting point."
If he can't reach the ninetieth level, saving Evelyn is naturally impossible.
In fact, even if he reached the ninetieth level, the chances of encountering Evelyn are slim.
Wen Xishu sighed lightly:
"I can only pray for her safety..."
He began contemplating the next question.
"Among you, if someone dies, who can provide me with Tower Power Value?"
"Those who stepped back before may answer this question too."
Soon, a few more monsters stepped forward.
Obviously, not many monsters possess Tower Power Value, but among them, the swordsman was indeed included.
Wen Xishu pondered a question.
"Should I desire power, or authority?"
Exchanging identities is essentially swapping authority...
He must consider a possibility, whether the world of obsession created by the other is strong in rules or personal power.
For example, Charlie is a typical Tower Guardian characterized by strong rules.
Charlie himself is weak, but full of puzzles...
While exploring Charlie's Obsession World, opportunities to grow stronger and solve mysteries arise...
Gradually, through various tools and clues, the entire storyline is found, redeeming Charlie.
If Wen Xishu exchanged powers with Charlie, unless it was with "Warlike Charlie," it might actually be a weakening for Wen Xishu.
Although Charlie is the master of the Land of Dust, Mysterious Charlie is actually in a state of confusion.
A state of undeveloped personal power, merely allowing negative emotions to construct the Land of Dust freely.
This suits swapping authority, rather than switching attributes.
After all, not everyone possesses Wen Xishu's decryption skills. These monsters, often unclear-minded, might just end up being toyed to death by the rules.
Suddenly, Wen Xishu thought of a new way to phrase his question.
This was his penultimate question.
"Among you, who is trapped in immense confusion and difficulty, with an extremely negative view of the world?"
Some monsters remained motionless, and one pair of monsters, looking like twins.
They glanced at each other and even took a step back.
This indicated that their perspective on the world was positive.
This surprised Wen Xishu quite a bit.
He even felt... the outline of those twins looked very familiar.
Such beings are indeed rare, perhaps like Little Tong and Little Xing, who even in the dirtiest environment, still long for a good world.
Simultaneously, Wen Xishu also noticed... that swordsman moved as well.
