Chapter 61: The Broken Alliance

He was also on the skinny side—genuinely a troublemaker and a real scoundrel.

But his fighting strength was only enough to bully those honest folks who wouldn’t fight back even after being hit.

Pikachu’s arms were thicker than his thighs, with muscle contours visible to the naked eye.

She was basically a human bulldozer.

Forget going up against Pikachu—even if she let him use one arm, he’d probably get pinned down and stomped on.

They weren’t even on the same level.

Even though he was scared and wanted to run.

But.

The rules were clearly written!

If the person being judged wasn’t killed within 15 minutes, everyone else would be judged as failing the game!!!

Baiduren rubbed the bridge of his nose, walked over to Cthulhu, who was lying on the ground and screaming, looked at his face, and said flatly, “Fractured. He probably won’t be able to eat for the next few days.”

“But it’s not fatal.”

“As long as we survive until the game ends, he’ll recover.”

Hearing this, Cthulhu grinned, tried to speak but couldn’t get the words out, and only spit out more blood.

He looked at Baiduren with pleading eyes, as if saying.

‘Save me… save me… kill her…’

Baiduren, however, no longer looked at Cthulhu.

He shook his head, then looked at Pikachu, who stood on the Judgment Stage like a war god, arrogant and looking down on everyone, and said, “The gap in strength is too big. It’ll probably be impossible to kill her.”

“Tough situation… Is this the effect of a card?”

At this moment, the remaining judgment time was 10 minutes!

Pikachu looked down at everyone, scanning them one by one.

Only she didn’t look at Yi Mo.

Her gaze finally settled on Baiduren, and she gave a cold snort.

“Ha…”

“You want to kick me out…”

“I was planning to survive this game and win together with Shiba Daye.”

“Too bad…”

“You forced my hand!”

“Today, none of you will survive this game!”

“I am the only winner!!!”

As she spoke, a golden, shimmering game card appeared in her hand.

With a completely indifferent attitude, she casually tossed it aside.

The content of this card had already been revealed by Pikachu, and everyone could see it.

[All or Nothing]

Grade: SSR

Card Effect: When the system determines that a fatal situation is unavoidable, it can be used selectively.

For 20 minutes, the restraints of the game rules are ignored.

Any attack can be made against anyone, and the user’s own strength is doubled.

After 20 minutes, if the current game has not been won, the card holder will suffer an Absolute Death Punishment, and no other card effects or means can affect it.

Card Description: Is obtaining this top-tier card a stroke of luck or misfortune?

Do everything you can to end this game.

This is your only chance, your final all-or-nothing gamble!

But it is also a counterattack that catches everyone off guard!

Although none of the players present had the mood to pick up that SSR card and examine it closely.

They all understood.

At this moment, Pikachu was truly strong!

So strong that no one present was a match for her!

Baiduren rubbed the bridge of his nose, looked at Pikachu, who was glaring at him fiercely, then turned to Yi Mo, whose face was extremely gloomy and who was looking down.

He shouted loudly, “I’ll hold her off. You find a chance and shoot her head with the hunting rifle!”

“Otherwise, if we get dragged through these 10 minutes, everyone here dies!”

Hearing this, Yi Mo took down the hunting rifle strapped to his back.

Click—!

He chambered a round directly.

Then raised the rifle with one hand.

But his target wasn’t Pikachu—it was Baiduren!

Then he slowly lifted his head.

In his left eye, the mysterious Blood Moon began to reappear faintly.

His voice was hoarse and icy.

“During the Judgment Meeting phase, player attack restrictions are lifted.”

“If I kill you in this phase.”

“Will you be shot to death, or will I be erased by the system?”

“Hehehe… Do you want… to give it a try…?”

Baiduren calmly rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, “The rules state that during the daily Judgment Meeting, the one with the most votes enters Punishment Time and is executed during that time.”

“That means other players still cannot attack anyone who isn’t the one being judged.”

“If you want to commit suicide, I won’t stop you.”

“Or maybe… you, a Hunter, are helping Pikachu so much.”

“Is it because you and Pikachu are Lovers? If she dies, you die too.”

“But then you’d die anyway.”

“If the execution is not successful, the executed player wins the game, and all other players die.”

Baiduren had interpreted the game rules to a meticulous degree!

Seeing this, Unrivaled immediately shouted to mediate, “Oh crap! You two, stop fighting!!!”

“What time is it now? There’s only 8 minutes left!!!”

“This isn’t even about Werewolves or Lovers anymore.”

“If we don’t kill Pikachu within 8 minutes, we’re all going to die immediately!”

Unrivaled was so anxious he was almost crying, stomping his feet continuously.

“I can’t beat her, or I’d have gone already!”

“Big Brother, I’m begging you, I know you have a good relationship with Pikachu!”

“But what time is it? Stop throwing a tantrum. Kill Pikachu first, then we’ll talk!”

But no matter what Unrivaled said, Yi Mo’s gun barrel never changed direction.

His gaze was cold and murderous as he stared at Baiduren.

Instead, Pikachu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yi Mo and laughed with abandon.

“Hahaha…”

“Shiba Daye, you really are a good guy!”

“It seems choosing to follow you in this game was the right call.”

“But… the human heart isn’t that easy to control.”

“I got voted out. I accept it!”

“But I haven’t lost yet!”

“Now our alliance can be dissolved!”

“You and I are no longer in the same camp.”

“Don’t think that just because you have a hunting rifle, you can really kill me!!!”

“Don’t underestimate me!” she roared, her voice cracking a little, then gradually softening, as if comforting someone.

“In the last game, I took down four strong men and survived on my own!”

“Come on, let’s settle this fair and square!”

“Either I die.”

“Or all of you die.”

The night wind howled past, and the torches flickered.

A sudden storm was coming.

Hearing this, Yi Mo’s gaze flickered, his emotions complicated.

He fully understood what Ordinary Girl Village Chief had said before.

‘The more you place your hopes on others, the closer you are to death.’

Even Pikachu hadn’t placed all her hopes on him.

She herself wasn’t afraid of being voted out, possessing an incredibly powerful trump card.

No one in this game was a first-time participant in the Death Game.

That meant everyone had survived at least one Death Game before.

They had crawled over corpses to stay alive!

How could they be so simple?

Even Taoqimao had suddenly changed her vote during today’s voting phase.

Yi Mo had no teammates at all!

The Death Game was a game where you fought alone against everyone!

As the execution phase time ticked down second by second, Unrivaled finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and shouted, “Damn it, there are so many of you, and not one of you is moving?”

“Rush together!”

“What are you waiting for? There are so many of us; we can’t handle her alone?”

Saying that, he hurriedly ran toward the back.

The village had many farming tools.

Someone had piled them all not far from the Round Table.

Unrivaled found an axe among them.

But after a thought, it was too short; he might not reach Pikachu and instead get punched flying, losing his life.

So he switched to a big iron shovel.

Just lifting it was a struggle, but he mustered all his strength and let out a roar.

“Ah!!!!”

Then, dragging the iron shovel, he charged at Pikachu.

For a moment, he drew everyone’s attention, including Pikachu.

Pikachu watched Unrivaled sprinting toward her with all his might, contempt clear in her eyes.

She twisted her neck, rubbed her arms, and jumped off the Judgment Stage, ready to fight him barehanded.

Admittedly, Unrivaled going berserk wasn’t nothing.

He ducked under the Round Table and, at less than 20 meters from Pikachu, actually lifted the iron shovel, attempting to spin it like Guan Yu’s glaive.

But unfortunately…

“Oh crap!”

He was running too fast and the night was too dark.

He tripped over a stone and fell face-first, the shovel flying away, skidding—sliding a full 2 meters on his face.

It hurt just to watch.

Now he was on the ground screaming in pain.

“Oh crap, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die…!!!”

Though his injury wasn’t as bad as Cthulhu’s, he was yelling like he had paraplegia or a high-level spinal injury.

Even Pikachu was stunned.

The tension she had built up almost burst out laughing at Unrivaled’s stupid act.

But just then, Pikachu sensed a hint of danger.

She instinctively turned and punched, seeing a fist already aiming at the ribs on her side.

It turned out that while Pikachu’s attention was drawn by Unrivaled, Baiduren seized the opportunity and made his move.

His running speed was definitely faster than the first night when he and Yi Mo had run toward the thatched hut.

He reached behind Pikachu and threw a right hook aimed at her left ribs.

The force was so strong you could hear the faint roar of the air.

But because Pikachu reacted fast, she swung her fist at his face.

Baiduren hadn’t forgotten the scene of Cthulhu getting knocked out in one punch.

Almost by combat instinct, he pulled back his fist, ducked to dodge Pikachu’s punch, and then delivered a powerful straight punch straight into Pikachu’s solar plexus.

“Ugh…”
