"The second reason, Pisces and I are mortal enemies, you know. I couldn't care less about other constellations, nor do I have the guts to act, but I'm more than willing to hit Pisces."
Wen Xishu was somewhat speechless,
"If I succeed this time, does that mean I'm officially at war with Pisces?"
Scorpio nodded:
"Yes, the kind where it's do or die."
Wen Xishu fell silent again:
"So, these challenges in the Deceit Tower are bound to offend you all, right?"
Scorpio shook his head:
"Depends on the choices you make. Just like back then, when you chose the Scorpio Knife, you earned my favor."
"Now, actually brother... you can also betray me. The Desire Tower only asks you to survive and make a target happy. This kind of leave condition is easy for you."
That's true.
When he met Jack, Jennifer, Wen Xishu had many ways to bring them happiness, without necessarily needing redemption.
The same was true for Tang Rui, and even for the An Family Brothers.
It all depends on how you choose.
Back then, he chose the most difficult path, the one that best suited his nature, but that doesn't mean it was the only correct choice.
On his journey, he gained recognition from some constellations. But if he hadn't chosen that way back then... would he have received recognition from other constellations?
Scorpio seemed to see what Wen Xishu was thinking:
"Open this door, brother, and you'll have to start helping Sirius escape. You'll enter temporal disturbances, and you'll need to find the correct timeline among many time entrances to bring Sirius out."
"Trust me, it's going to be very troublesome. Some entrances will take you to very frightening time points. You'll need to use my save-load ability."
"But... you can also choose to give up. If you do, brother, Pisces will be very grateful to you. But this will hurt my feelings. Ultimately... I really hate those who disturb time."
Scorpio looked at Wen Xishu:
"Make your choice."
Wen Xishu said:
"If I give up, will you kill me now?"
Scorpio shook his head with a smile:
"Why would I? You are my brother, I would never do such a thing. But I might be angry for a long time."
"Besides, if you give up, it can be understood, because this challenge is quite perilous. Fortunately, Sirius will guide you as well."
Wen Xishu continued to say:
"Your help, is it because of some real intent related to Sirius?"
Scorpio answered:
"Brother, you've met Ding Dong, haven't you?"
Wen Xishu didn't deny it, nor could he deny it.
Scorpio suddenly stopped speaking, just smilingly looking at Wen Xishu.
This smile gave Wen Xishu a bit of chills.
"The one who killed Ding Dong..."
Scorpio nodded:
"Yes, it was me. I differ from Pisces, among our twelve, on the path to becoming a God, we must kill five others."
"Brother, save Sirius, but afterward... whether he lives or dies is not your concern, is it?"
Wen Xishu sorted it out.
Now, he must face temporal disturbances, the captain on the Ark, and numerous ability users. Theoretically, he shouldn't be able to pass.
But now he can reload, and he can also receive guidance from Sirius.
Besides... Horn naturally exists within the Desire Tower.
Calculating like this, he actually holds many keys to deciding victory, and since Scorpio appeared, betting on him, the success rate should be there.
Nine deaths, one life doesn't matter, just as long as it isn't guaranteed death there's hope.
As for saving Sirius...
Wen Xishu really didn't want to delve deep into thinking now.
"Alright, I will rescue Sirius."
Scorpio clapped and laughed:
"Wonderful, brother, you are indeed biased towards me. So I wish you success, go explode Pisces! Leave her a deep impression!"
Wen Xishu pushed open the door to the storeroom.
According to the game setup, this meant the game had officially started.
