Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 782 She just wanted to live
The players launched an extremely fierce and fearless offensive, quickly crushing the monsters in front of them and rapidly advancing the battlefield.

Seeing this scene before them, many of the evil gods at the gathering place felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"They are the henchmen of the candlelight!"

Why doesn't Candlelight take action himself?

"Did He imprison us here so that we might be His sharpening tools?"

Although most players are quite strong, they are still not enough in the eyes of these evil gods.

However, the candlelight remained high above, merely imprisoning them without showing any intention of personally intervening, which made them feel deeply insulted.

The tyrant, who was subjected to extreme punishment, found this intolerable.

"How dare you look down on us like this..."

"How utterly hateful!"

The Supreme Tyrant's single eye was filled with rage as he looked up at the sky and roared furiously.

"Do you think you can wipe us out with just these ants?!"

"Since that's the case, then just watch closely. Your warriors will die here one by one, Candlelight!!!"

The Tyrant of Ultimate Punishment roared, but the power of the candlelight in the sky remained indifferent, as if the giant elephant would not hear the cries of ants.

"Blood River, take half the members to the back to block the campfire. The rest of you, come with me to the Land of Punishment. I will use all the power of the settlement to bless you!"

"We have nowhere left to retreat; we must wipe out these ants!"

The tyrant suppressed his anger and made arrangements for the assembly members.

At this critical moment of life and death, the other evil gods naturally had no objections.

Soon, the evil gods took action under the arrangement of the Extreme Punishment Tyrant. During this time, they did not forget to have some subordinate monsters temporarily resist the players' attacks.

And on the other side.

The attack from the campfire was relatively weaker.

boom--

The blood-red fist, amplified by the flames of battle, seemed to roar, shattering the centipede-like monster before it with a single punch, sending blood splattering everywhere.

After withdrawing his fist, Blood Fist Kasius coldly surveyed the entire gathering area.

"Such a strong, eerie aura..."

Although Blood Fist Kasius was short in stature, his aura was extremely powerful, and many of the firewood gatherers around him implicitly regarded him as their leader.

However, after killing another monster, Blood Fist Kasius suddenly frowned, looked at a woodcutter, and reprimanded him.

"On the battlefield, always keep your weapon firmly in hand; fear will only hasten your death!"

Hearing Cassius's rebuke.

The still-shaken man quickly picked up his weapon, thanking the woman profusely while stammering an apology: "...I'm sorry, I just...I just..."

"Take care of yourself first."

Cassius sighed softly, then charged back into the battlefield, each move accompanied by bursts of blood mist and the sound of bones shattering.

The woodcutter who had been scolded gritted his teeth and joined the battle.

But his courage did not bring him good fortune.

Lacking combat experience, he was quickly attacked from both sides by the two evil gods' subordinate demons, and was frantically torn into pieces, his blood-stained weapon falling to the ground.

Cassius naturally witnessed this scene.

But he did not sigh, much less feel sad.

Fear... Most life forms cannot escape fear; it originates from the instinct of life, but sometimes it becomes a burden on the continuation of life.

Everyone who wants to become a qualified warrior needs to overcome the fear of death.

But this is always easier said than done.

Compared to ordinary stray fires, the Fire Gatherers have a huge advantage in resurrection, but overcoming fear is still no easy task.

After all, very few people can face pain and death with equanimity.

……

One of the battlefields.

The storyteller is leading some players to gather information about the monsters as they advance, and then posting it in real time on the public chat to help other players.

At this moment, all sorts of ferocious monsters are as common as stray dogs on the roadside on the battlefield, and are not enough to frighten these battle-hardened players.

However, when they tried to uncover the true form of the ship-shaped monster that was constantly providing amplification to other monsters on the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Inside the cradle made of enormous skeletons and flesh lay infants and children, their bodies bound except for their eyes.

Above their heads hung heads.

These heads, manipulated by the boat-shaped monster, emitted hoarse and unpleasant soothing sounds.

"my child……"

"Open your eyes..."

"Look at Mom..."

The bound infants and children were terrified and helpless, and could only desperately experience everything under the monster's control.

“That’s the ‘Cradle of Helplessness’…a monster created by the evil god who calls himself ‘Ditast’…”

"To obtain intense emotions by stimulating young life... and to transform them into its power..."

"But in this environment, over time, the children become numb... At that point, that damned evil god will throw the children into the rebirth egg... drawing upon the pure power of their growth and restoration... squeezing out their last bit of value..."

A surviving woman they rescued, with tears of blood in her eyes and a numb expression, recounted the origins of the monster.

After hearing his words, the players couldn't help but turn their attention to the [Rebirth Embryo] on the other side.

It was an enormous humanoid monster, every part of its body seemingly made of white embryos, vaguely resembling a curled-up human infant.

Although this monster wasn't particularly strong, its vitality was unimaginably powerful.

Even when surrounded by several top players, he can still get up again and again, and his injuries heal extremely quickly.

At first, they were puzzled.

Now, we finally understand the key to it.

Having absorbed the lives and regenerative abilities of countless infants, it is naturally difficult to kill.

"How do you know all this?" The storyteller frowned slightly and asked instinctively.

Upon hearing this, an indescribable pain flashed in the surviving woman's eyes, and she curled up helplessly.

"...Before placing the children in their cradles...the evil god wanted to calm them down, so that the most intense emotions could be created..."

"I am the one who takes care of them..."

Upon hearing this, the storyteller and the surrounding players fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, a player silently raised his weapon, his eyes burning with indescribable rage.

"Even though I know it's just a bunch of game data..."

"But every time I see this kind of scene, I can't help but feel angry!"

"Fuck your mother..."

"Qingdao Liuhuo!!!"

With the player's furious roar, the flames of war raged and transformed into a massive fiery slash, burning the monsters before them to ashes.

Some players suppressed their anger and calmly looked for opportunities to destroy the "cradle of helplessness" one by one, rescuing the children from them.

……

"help me……"

"Sir Knight..."

"Please...please save me..."

On a land overrun by monsters, a beautiful young woman dressed in clean clothes saw the players arrive and, as if seeing a savior, she staggered toward them, her unsteady figure as if she would fall at any moment.

Upon seeing this, one player instinctively reached out to support the other.

But the guy who was tied up frowned and pulled the player away.

"What are you doing, Brother Tieying...?"

boom--

Before the player could finish speaking, the beautiful girl's body rapidly expanded and exploded with tremendous force, sending everyone around her flying.

One unlucky player who was nearby was reduced to ashes.

"Holy crap... this damage is outrageous, and it's poisonous too!" The player beside him grimaced as he stood up, quickly knocking off a healing candle. "Could there be any clean-cut, normal NPCs in this blood-soaked place? Use your brain!"

"Binding Hard Brother said irritably."

The player being addressed felt a little embarrassed. He had initially thought it was an NPC, but now that he thought about it, it didn't seem quite right.

The two quickly resumed their battle.

However, there was clearly more than one of those beautiful, neatly dressed girls.

They were scattered throughout the battlefield, and the monsters did not harm them.

Upon seeing the monster girl again, Bang Ying was about to raise his weapon to kill her when... but her reaction made him subconsciously stop what he was doing.

"No...don't kill me...please!"

"As long as I don't come near, you won't get hurt! Please!"

The girl buried her face in her hands and wept, her body trembling as she backed away.

Seeing this, Brother Bang frowned.

This girl... doesn't seem to be a pure monster?

"You stay where you are..."

"careful!"

when!
Before the man with the tied-up arm could finish speaking, the girl cried out in alarm to remind him.

However, he did not react, but let the giant-mouthed monster next to him bite down on his shoulder, the teeth and armor making a metallic clanging sound.

The monster tore at him frantically, trying to rip him to pieces.

However, the body of the man in the armor remained as still as a mountain, without even a dent appearing on his armor.

The next moment, Brother Bangying raised his hands and grabbed the monster's upper and lower jaws. After igniting the battle, he tore it apart with force.

Wow!

The giant-mouthed monster's head was torn in two, and blood and tissue fluid flowed all over the ground.

The girl was so frightened that she backed away.

Bang Yingge turned around, looked at her, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Seeing how easily Brother Tie had dealt with the monster, the girl seemed to have gained some confidence.

"...It's an insect!"

"They...placed our souls within the bodies of insects..."

"If you get any closer, we will explode and die along with this insect's body..."

"But it's okay."

She bravely wiped away her tears and suppressed her inner fear.

"As long as I don't get close to you, it won't explode..."

"Sir Knight...do you have any way to save us?"

"You must have some, right? I saw your firelight... it's so strong!"

"If you can terrify those evil gods so much, you must have a way to save us, right?"

"I don't want to die... I really don't want to die... I want to leave here..."

She looked at Brother Bangying and couldn't help but shed tears again, her voice trembling, but her eyes filled with expectation.

Bang Ying Ge remained silent, just about to speak in response.

That's when things changed.

"You damned ant, who gave you the audacity to speak ill of the gods!"

A ferocious and angry voice came from afar.

The next moment, the girl's body, under her terrified gaze, uncontrollably ran towards the man who had tied her up, and her body was rapidly and strangely expanding.

bang——

After a loud noise.

Binding Brother remained standing in the same spot, his armor smeared with the girl's blood and bits of flesh, the corrosive venom hissing, but he paid no heed.

I can still vividly recall those expectant and trusting eyes.

She just wanted to live...

If I had reacted faster, she might have been able to survive in this game...

He silently gripped the hilt of his sword, veins bulging on his arm...

……

At the same time, on the outskirts of the center of the assembly area.

"The combination of beauty and vulnerability to evoke compassion always has the greatest impact on human emotions..."

"Ha ha……"

"Even I can't leave, and you, an ant, actually think you can? You're just delusional..."

boom--

Before the evil god could finish his mad words, a flash of azure light appeared beside him, and the next moment, his body suddenly exploded, and a rain of foul-smelling, black blood covered the evil god beside him.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

"How could the evil sorcerer Xi Xin have suddenly died!"

"Damn it! There must have been a traitor who attacked Him!"

This sudden turn of events startled and terrified some of the evil gods, who immediately became wary of the surrounding gathering members.

"Stop being paranoid, it's the candlelight that's moving! A bunch of idiots!"

The Tyrant of Punishment maintained the Land of Punishment while his angry curses echoed through the air.

He hadn't noticed what had just happened, so naturally he didn't know why Candlelight had suddenly attacked and killed the Evil Witch of Playful Heart...

To be honest, if the other party suddenly attacked Him, He would actually feel excited.

That would actually show that the other party is finally taking me seriously, and I could die with some dignity.

But what do you mean by killing just one member of the rally?
Is the display of power meant to constantly remind people that they are ants that can be killed at any time?!

Then why choose a weak member of the gathering?
Damn candlelight!!!
How exactly do they want to torture them?!
The tyrannical ruler, whose thoughts were completely unpredictable, was prone to mood swings.

……

"Tsk, bullying the weak, they have no shame at all..."

"If you're shameless, then I'm shameless too. I might as well collect some souls to use as NPCs."

As Rogge muttered to himself, he retrieved the girl's soul and stored it away.

As the one in charge of the Candlelight, he was naturally keeping a close eye on all aspects of the battlefield, and he certainly saw what was happening on Brother Bangying's side.

After hearing what the monster girl he created said, the evil god called the Playful Heart Witch went a little crazy and, in a fit of rage, controlled the monster girl to self-destruct.

If Roger doesn't intervene, the outcome will clearly not be good; the girl's soul will simply perish along with her body.

But since he had nothing better to do, he naturally took action.

Anyway, these native beings' souls can be captured, trained, and then turned into NPCs, so why not?

Moreover, the candle keeper is kind-hearted and has never been able to bear tragedy.

However, players like "Bang Ying Ge" obviously wouldn't know about this.

Rogge had no intention of revealing the truth, after all, such a "plot" could slightly motivate players to continue killing monsters and make them feel more immersed.

Of course, there might be some minor emotional fluctuations...

……

On the battlefield at this moment.

Brother Bang remained silent, his body ablaze with battle fire.

The monsters around them howled incessantly as the Dragon Spine Greatsword, like the blades of a meat grinder, frantically tore apart their flesh and blood, each swing accompanied by a bloody storm.

Even when monsters broke through his defenses and hit his body, he paid no attention to them, like a heavy tank that could only move forward, crushing all the enemies in front of him.

The next moment, as if venting his anger, he leaped up, the Dragon Spine Greatsword imbued with the flames of war and the fire of sainthood, and roared as he slashed downwards.

boom! ! !
The powerful airflow of the combat technique shattered the ground, tore through monsters, and continued to expand forward, leaving a deep trench...
