Chapter 25.3: The Crownless uses the Rover to challenge the Crownless!
Facing what Rover said, Calcharo fell into thoughtful contemplation.
However, right at this moment, the Crownless stepped forward without hesitation… after all, it was originally quite powerless when facing Rover.
Now that there was such a god-given opportunity, how could it easily give up?
At the very least, that was how it appeared to it.
"Then let me propose a challenge, please start quickly."
After speaking quite politely to the system, and detecting no reaction from Rover or Calcharo opposite him, The Crownless became the first challenger and quickly took its seat.
The fundamental reason it wanted to challenge first… was the worry that if it finished last, and then was teleported out, all three would appear in the same place.
If that really happened, it would truly have no tears left to cry. Not only might it lose its life, but the rewards it obtained would just end up benefiting others.
.....
[ Soon, The Crownless's selection page began to appear on the screen.
Rover… had just flashed by, and while other characters were still grayed out and hadn't loaded, The Crownless bluntly locked him in. ]

Chat Group Crowd: "Bastard, damn it… If you had any backbone or skill, you wouldn't pick Rover."
Tacet Discord Army: "Hehe. Why refuse a free reward? If you humans had this chance… I bet you'd be dying to pick two more Rovers."
.....
[ "Hehe. With Rover in hand, a mere Crownless is nothing."
"After this is over, if I can get an item that suits me… that matter will be easier to accomplish."
After confirming it had really selected Rover, the Crownless on the screen found it hard to suppress the little excitement in its heart for a moment.
Holding the winning ticket, as it said these words… it seemed completely unaware that the one it had to fight was itself.
In other words, the Crownless chose Rover and then went to challenge Difficulty 3 Crownless.
Although it looked somewhat awkward, since the system didn't have any reaction, naturally, no one would say anything. ]
Meanwhile, in the challenge space, Calcharo and Rover came up behind The Crownless.
Just as Rover thought, at this moment, Calcharo was also seriously observing The Crownless's gameplay for reference.
Seeing Calcharo beside him, Rover thought for a moment… feeling that the other party was at least his bodyguard in the shadows, he whispered a team composition to him.
"The Woolly-Sheep Girl Encore, the Little Taoist Jianxin, and God Verina—such a combination."
This might not be the strongest combination among the current characters, but it was definitely the most stable one.
After speaking, he didn't wait for a response and returned to his original spot.
Anyway, he had told Calcharo, as for whether the other listened, that was none of his business.
.....
[ At this time, on the Crownless's side, it had already made the final difficulty selection.
However, what made it… made Calcharo… made the countless viewers and Tacet Discords… and even made Rover unable to imagine was.
After the Difficulty 3 Big Bro appeared, it delivered a diving right hook directly, followed by a left hook.
After two purple numbers, - 9872 and - 8754, appeared… before The Crownless even had time to adapt to the character it was controlling, it was directly KO'd. ]
[ ~Beep. The Crownless Guest Challenge Failed. ]
[ The punishment will be reserved until after the three Guest Challenges are over to be accepted together. ]
While everyone was still immersed in brief contemplation, the system's notification sound rang out directly.
"??? No? This… Why? When did this Rover become so weak?"
"Where is the prestige from the video before? The abilities? How did he just get punched to death by me in two hits?"
After coming back to its senses, even as a Tacet Discord… The Crownless couldn't help but immediately start complaining.
After all, a challenge that was originally thought to be a free win turned out to be a free loss for itself…
Such a thing, no matter who it happened to, would surely be hard to accept.

Chat Group Crowd: "??? Ro… Ro… Ro…Rover-sama got one-shotted by The Crownless? ⦍BewilderedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Tacet Discord Army: "Although it took two hits to kill, so it doesn't count as a one-shot, we still want to shout loudly—Lord Crownless is awesome."
Iuno: "Speaking of which, what exactly is going on?I can't figure out any information at all… Why is it like this?"
Lupa: "I think something like this, probably no one can figure out."
Jinhsi: "Teacher, do you know what is going on here?"
Changli: "I don't have a clue right now either, let's keep watching… perhaps there will be an answer later."
Iuno: "Hehe. Actually, that Crownless is pretty strong. When it said 'damage-less', it really meant it dealt zero damage."
Carlotta: "Although that sounds wrong, for a moment, I don't know how to refute it."
.....
[ At this moment, seeing that Rover still hadn't made any moves on the screen.
Calcharo went behind The Crownless and said, "It's time to switch people."
"Hmph. This trash game, I await the moment you all accept the punishment with me."
The Crownless finished speaking with an ugly expression and stood up to let Calcharo take the seat as the second challenger.
However, still not having figured out the situation just now, it started mocking Calcharo and Rover.
"Blaming the road because you can't walk… just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't."
Calcharo paid no attention; the one who said this was naturally Rover.
And Calcharo had already started selecting a character. After pondering Rover's words in his mind for a short while.
Although he didn't think the other party would harm him without reason, as the strongest Resonator on Solaris, Calcharo… naturally still wanted the Golden Chest.
Therefore, he ultimately still chose Difficulty 3… but the character he chose this time was not Rover.
But rather the strongest Resonator on Solaris, Calcharo—which was himself. ]
