To ascend, I had no choice but to create games - Chapter 162
Chapter 162: Chapter 123 Have you failed again? (First update)_2
“Indeed,” the voice of the Female Evil God rose again from the lava, “but is that all you’ve got?”
A swordsman stepped to the edge of the molten lava.
Unlike the other players who underwent mutations, his attributes were somewhat monotonous each time he gained power.
“Sword damage +1” and “Sword speed +1”.
The players beside him couldn’t see the speed of his sword swings, only those who could see the health bar noticed that the Flesh and Blood Gem’s health was rapidly dwindling.
Feeling the waning of its life, the Flesh and Blood Gem struggled to stretch out its tentacles, pleading urgently, “Don’t! I beg you, spare me… Just kidding.”
Evil laughter echoed, and as the Flesh and Blood Gem was finally ground to dust, the figure of the Female Evil God emerged from within.
The Flesh and Blood Gem was a division of her flesh and blood, which she used to probe the strength of the Angel Envoys; now, she felt it was about time for her to appear.
Seizing the moment of her appearance, the swordsman player disregarded any martial code and went into a frenzy, pummeling her with attacks.
But her health bar seemed as if it was welded shut, showing no sign of change; instead, it grew considerably longer.
When her complete form appeared, gasps echoed through the live stream, followed by a frenzy of recording and taking screenshots.
The gorgeous Female Evil God had a charm so captivating that, despite being rendered in pixel art, it left the players watching the live stream feeling a shock from the pixelated magnificence.
Moreover, she was colossal, reducing the players to the size of children in her presence.
Many had thought the Living Immortal dabbling with pixel art was foolhardy, yet even his pixel art turned out to be strikingly beautiful.
And proportionate to her entrancing appearance was her terrifying power.
The moment she appeared, the once gigantic giant was crushed into a mist of blood by her, enveloping the entire world in a haze of red.
The next second, the swordsman burst apart instantly, a multitude of Shadows sprouting from his body, forming a black throne for the Female Evil God to royally perch upon.
With her legs crossed, the Female Evil God bit into the little finger of her right hand, her slender finger punctured by her own teeth, blood trickling down her chin, casting an extremely bizarre expression on her face.
“You actually managed to draw out my true form; you deserve some praise for that. So, do you have any more entertaining acts to show me?”
Seeing the Female Evil God in her complete form, Xiemen Waidao felt a bit surprised, but still within the realm of control he could handle.
Raising his right hand high, Xiemen Waidao commanded, “Meteors.”
A player nodded and then sprang into action.
His special attribute was “Manipulation of Matter +1,” and a great deal of matter would move under his control, further amplified by the strength of his own body.
Asteroids floating in outer space were under his command, beginning to fall; rubbing against the atmosphere, they turned into fiery meteors and then crashed down heavily upon the Female Evil God seated on the Shadow Throne.
Facing an apocalyptic assault, the Female Evil God simply flicked her hand, deflecting the ferocious fire meteors away, emerging entirely unscathed.
“Division!”
At Xiemen Waidao’s command, another player sprang forth.
His special ability was “Number of Individuals +0.01.” After repeatedly enhancing his attributes, he had reached a count of over a thousand individuals, each possessing the same abilities as him.
Over a thousand bald brutes, each bearing divine weaponry, swarmed toward the Female Evil God.
Just as they drew close, a mist of blood spread out, and the onslaught of copies melted away like snow in sunshine, dissipating into the bloody haze.
Failures piling up, high-status players eradicated, the ranks of warriors thinned until only Xiemen Waidao remained.
Looking at Xiemen Waidao, the team leader, the Female Evil God spoke with a smile, “How interesting, it was you who brought me back, and now you’re the only one left. To think you humans dared challenge the Gods with your mortal strength, should I admire your courage or ridicule your recklessness?”
“It doesn’t matter to me. And besides, why do you think I didn’t make a move while you slaughtered my companions?”
“You got a lot of hair?”
“No, it’s because I have another special attribute, ‘Revenge!’”
The death of his companions at that moment became Xiemen Waidao’s driving force for revenge, the flames of vengeance burning within him, a surge of power beginning to gather inside his body.
The strengths of his fallen comrades emerged within him, causing his physical body to shatter, his soul’s power dramatically enhanced by revenge, eventually transforming into a colossal being ablaze with dark flames.
Not only that, but the force of revenge was still expanding.
Every player who had ever had their heads harvested now became fuel for vengeance, causing Xiemen Waidao’s soul to turn into a pitch-black existence, akin to a black hole.
Facing the revenge spirit forged by hundreds of millions of deaths, the composure on the Female Evil God’s face finally disappeared.
She realized she had completely underestimated these warriors’ determination and courage, to think they would create their ultimate weapon in this way.
Revenge will always be one of humanity’s most powerful weapons, it grants humans the courage and determination to ignore everything and gives birth to a power that even the Gods fear.
In the face of such a dark soul, the Female Evil God finally felt fear.
She turned to run, but the spirit of revenge had already turned into chains, binding her tightly and dragging her into the pitch-black Abyss.
Each chain burned with black flames, the flames of vengeance scorched her body, and together they erupted into a blazing inferno.
In Xiemen Waidao’s view, the Female Evil God’s health bar began to plummet dramatically, finally incinerating along with his game character.
The world finally returned to darkness.
After exerting its final tremendous power, the vengeful spirit, along with the Female Evil God, burned out, leaving behind only a pitch-black, ice-cold planet.
But no matter, the bonfire would soon be lit.
Meanwhile, in the live streaming room, the players involved in this action burst into a series of cheers.
Slaying this kind of world boss that requires teamwork easily ignites the players’ sense of team spirit and immerses them in the satisfaction of the final kill.
[Can’t even, I’m so thrilled! Xiemen Waidao, you’re amazing!]
[Although it’s a mutual destruction, the final tactic was the right one.]
[The joy from killing this boss makes the previous elimination of Shadows seem like nothing. Working together like this feels so awesome.]
[Strange, I remember the discontinued ‘Dark Guardian’ had a similar setting too, why wasn’t it as thrilling?]
[Must be the novelty. Bosses like that in ‘Dark Guardian’ became too common, they lost their novelty once encountered. But here, the boss is unique, so it’s exhilarating to kill it.]
[Agreed, and activities where all players need to participate to kill a boss really add to the sense of immersion, as if I were fighting on the field myself.]
[Exactly, and now that the Revenge style has proven lethal, I wonder if other styles could work too?]
[What are we waiting for then, go hunt for Easter eggs and summon the boss! Maybe this game has more than one Easter egg, and more than one boss we can slay.]
[Let’s do it together!]
Having slain the Female Evil God, Xiemen Waidao felt exhausted.
But his heart was extremely exhilarated.
He hadn’t slept all night, but he still opened “The Healer” and found his Mukuai 1234, excitedly saying, “You have no idea what I just did!”
“Uh-huh, you’re great,” Mukuai 1234 replied indifferently.
Pouring a glass of water for Xiemen Waidao herself, she dropped a mint leaf into it with her merit, then sat across from Xiemen Waidao and asked, “Tell me, what did you do?”
“We just killed an Evil God! I was the commander-in-chief! We did it together…”
While different players were dissipating their excitement in various ways, within the Shadows, the figure of the Female Evil God began to reconstitute.
All her information was recorded in the shadows, as long as the Shadows did not extinguish, she would not perish.
Although a large amount of shadow power was lost, she etched the power of the bonfire deep into her heart, the humans at the center of the world were doomed.
Chuckling softly to herself, she was just about to use this newfound power against the humans when a detached voice sounded close beside her: “What did you do earlier?”
The Female Evil God was shocked.
She had no idea when or how the other had come; the Shadows hadn’t even reacted to them, indicating their power was so formidable that not even the Shadows could respond.
Which Outer God could it be…
The thought of the Female Evil God was cut off as her recently reformed body dispersed into nothingness, and along with it, the records about her within the Shadows vanished without a trace.
Having dealt with the Female Evil God decisively, Fang Cheng looked down at the planet below and sighed.
Did he fail again?
