Chapter 394 - 395: Selection Game 24

"What advantages?" Amber Sheridan asked curiously.

"Aren’t the advantages obvious? Unless it’s a fixed coordinate, the Any Door can only open one gate at a time, and I have to pass through it myself. But the Space-Time Gate can open many gates simultaneously. Besides being used for movement, it can also be used for attacking."

To be more specific, the Any Door’s strength lies in its ability to open a connected gate between two different planets, crossing vast distances. But it has no combat capability on its own.

The Space-Time Gate is different. Not only can it assist in battle, but it also has inherent offensive power. After all, it’s a spatial attribute. How could it be purely for support?

As they spoke, they had already returned to the player gathering point.

The people at the gathering point were startled when four figures suddenly appeared. They only relaxed after getting a clear look and seeing who it was.

The commotion quickly caught Jared Yate’s attention. He was in charge of guarding the gathering point today.

Seeing Perry Yates and the others appear so suddenly, he couldn’t help but ask, "Weren’t you supposed to be raiding the Executors’ base? Why are you back now?"

"We finished the raid, so of course we came back," Amber Sheridan said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Speaking of which, haven’t any of you checked the mission progress? We completely wiped the floor with those Executors."

Hearing Amber Sheridan’s words, Jared Yate quickly opened the system’s mission panel. Sure enough, he saw that the progress for the "Eliminate the Executors" mission had reached ninety-three percent, with less than seven percent remaining.

’It looks like what Perry Yates and the others said was true. They actually succeeded in their raid.’

"By the way, we came back to tell you that the remaining seven percent of the Executors are heading this way. It probably won’t be long before they arrive. Also, they might have some extremely powerful weapons, so we’d better be careful."

Perry Yates relayed the information she had.

After hearing Perry Yates’s words, Jared Yate’s brow furrowed. He pondered for a moment before saying, "I understand. I’ll call Rory Drake and the others back first." With that, he turned and left.

Perry Yates, meanwhile, casually snapped her fingers, activating Cold Moon Guardian to envelop the entire gathering point. At the same time, she cast Ice and Snow World.

Against the red sky, snowflakes began to drift down. Soon, a thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground.

The snow continued to pile up, growing thicker.

By the time Rory Drake and the others returned, the snow on the ground was already several centimeters thick.

Seeing the snow, they knew Perry Yates and her group were back. After all, who else in the entire gathering point could pull off something on this scale?

They had also just glanced at the mission progress and were shocked to find that it had suddenly jumped to ninety-three percent, when just a short while ago it was lagging far behind. It was obvious who was responsible.

This meant their raid had not only succeeded but had been a resounding success.

As they neared the gathering point, just as they expected, they saw a blue barrier surrounding the entire area.

Upon entering the barrier, they saw Perry Yates and the others eating Phase Shrimp.

Jared Yate relayed the information Perry Yates’s group had brought back to Rory Drake and his team.

After hearing it, Rory Drake and his team didn’t seem nervous. Instead, they looked relieved.

"It’s finally coming to an end."

Although only the final seven percent of the mission remained, that still amounted to hundreds of Executors. If the Executors decided to hide, finding them would likely take a considerable amount of time.

Now that they were all coming to them, it was actually a good thing.

As for what Perry Yates had said about the Executors potentially wielding powerful weapons, Rory Drake paid it no mind.

After all, throughout this entire game, everyone had seen how the Executors performed.

In the early stages, they might have been able to inflict some damage when they had the upper hand. But as time went on, their advantage dwindled until they gradually became the weaker party.

Seeing Rory Drake and the others looking so unconcerned, Perry Yates reminded them, "Don’t get cocky."

The biggest taboo is celebrating before you’ve actually won. Although they were just one step away from final victory, so many things could go wrong at that last moment.

Rory Drake didn’t say anything, but it was clear he hadn’t taken Perry Yates’s words to heart.

Perry Yates had expected this and didn’t mind. She had given her warning; whether he listened or not was up to him.

’In any case, I just need to make sure I survive until the end.’

Just as Perry Yates had predicted, no sooner had they finished their preparations to face the enemy than the Executors’ forces were spotted in the distance.

They were all heavily armed, clad in black armor, and every step they took was imposing.

A few hundred meters from the players’ gathering point, they suddenly stopped.

"What are they doing?" Jared Yate couldn’t help but frown as he watched.

Perry Yates watched the Executors’ position in the distance for a while before saying, "It looks like they’re drawing something on the ground. It seems to be some kind of formation."

She casually picked up a rock and roughly sketched the formation she saw on the ground.

However, no one present could understand what kind of formation it was.

But whatever they were trying to do, the important thing was not to let them succeed.

Under Rory Drake’s command, numerous players launched an attack on the Executors.

With the Space-Time Gate, their attacks could easily reach their target, even from nearly a kilometer away.

To their shock, however, the Executors used their own bodies to block all the attacks. They didn’t flinch even in the face of death, and as soon as one group fell, another immediately took its place.

This time, Rory Drake realized something was wrong. He knew that something they were willing to protect even at the cost of their lives had to be extremely important.

At that moment, Rory Drake turned to Perry Yates, hoping she would have a good idea.

But in truth, Perry Yates didn’t have any good ideas either. Her attacks had also been blocked. These Executors were fighting as if they had a death wish; they could even sense her Pointed Explosion attacks in advance.

"If long-range attacks aren’t working, let’s try a close-range assault. Perry Yates, use the Space-Time Gate to send us over," Reina Quinn said in a low voice after a moment of thought.

They had already tried so many times, and every attack had been blocked. If that was the case, they had no choice but to go and destroy it themselves.

Perry Yates thought it was a good idea and opened the Space-Time Gate. However, she had no intention of going through herself. ’That formation can’t be anything good. If I get too close, something terrible might happen.’
