Chapter 545 World Boss
I saw.

The entire world suddenly went dark.

It was as if night had fallen.

The surrounding gale stopped, and the falling snowflakes hovered in mid-air, refracting a huge arc shape.

next second.

The sky trembled, the clouds broke apart, and an indescribable pressure rolled down from the depths of the void, causing the entire world to tremble!
“Kacha—!”

It seemed as if they couldn't withstand the oppressive force.

With one deafening cracking sound after another, the entire ice field shattered, countless glaciers collapsed, and the earth broke apart like a fragile mirror.

Immediately afterwards, an endless, pale shadow appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun and stretching across the heavens!
It was a snake, no, it was beyond the category of 'snake'. Its body was larger than a mountain range, and each scale was as vast as a star.

Its pale body shimmered with an ancient and cold luster, as if it had existed since the beginning of time.

It gives people a sense of absolute stillness and coldness.

"What's this?!"

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the scene with their heads tilted back.

It's not just these people; on this eternal ice plain, whether it's players or monsters...

They were all like insects encased in amber, frozen inside, unable to move an inch.

At the same time.

An information panel appeared in front of all the players.

……

[Name]: The Serpent of Annihilation
[Title]: Devourer of the Universe / Ring of the End
[Race]: Divine Offspring
[Level]: LV.1000 (World Boss)

[Health Points]: ? ? ? (Undetectable)

[Armor]: ? ? ? (Undetectable)

[Resistance]: ? ? ? (Undetectable)

[Skill]: ? ? ? (Undetectable)

……

[Note: When the world-destroying serpent fully awakens, even 'death' itself will be devoured.]

"It's a world boss whose information is impossible to detect, and whose health bar is not even visible!"

Everyone looked utterly astonished!

How could a world boss appear in a monster area with levels 65 to 80?

What kind of luck is this?
However, after realizing what had happened, no one felt any joy; instead, they were filled with panic.

Because this kind of being is simply beyond their ability to deal with.

at this time.

Above our heads, the clouds parted.

A gigantic head looked down from above the sea of ​​clouds.

His blood-red eyes were like two crimson suns.

It seemed capable of devouring all light, even blocking out the sunlight behind it.

The entire ice field, or rather, viewed from a higher dimensional perspective, reveals a breathtaking cosmic panorama.

Planet B15 has now been completely plunged into eternal darkness.

This once blue and white planet is now completely enveloped by an indescribable, pale entity.

The colossal object, like chains from the abyss, coiled around the entire planet in a manner defying geometry, tightly binding it within its writhing, pale body.

The last glimmer of light on the planet's surface is shrinking visibly within those constantly contracting, pale bodies.

-

Inside the planet, on an eternal ice field.

All players.

In that instant when I met those snake-like eyes.

Distorted images and delirious murmurs echoed in everyone's ears.

next second.

A cold, mechanical voice pierced through the murmur.

A series of bold, blood-red text appeared before the players' eyes.

[Warning! Player detected directly gazing upon an unknown, higher-dimensional entity!]

You heard whispers you shouldn't have heard, and saw truths you shouldn't have seen!

[Your spirit trembles, your flesh twists, as if countless mad whispers echo within your skull… Judgment failed… Cognition collapses, consciousness dissipates, player dies!!]

In an instant, the entire eternal ice plain fell into dead silence.

All players, including six-person squads.

They didn't even have a chance to struggle or react.

Before their pupils could even contract, their bodies exploded in the same instant, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

The Frost Dragon King, the king of the eternal ice plains, let out a final lament, its massive body crumbling apart like fragile glass.

Crimson blood droplets congealed in the air, then fell in a flurry, blooming into countless poignant red plum blossoms on the pure white ice plain.

A cold wind howled across the suddenly silent plain, stirring up tiny, blood-red ice crystals.

It was quickly covered again.

……

Lines of densely packed modification values ​​kept flashing before my eyes.

Above the sky, that pale giant serpent was none other than...

It was Hu Qi who had just entered the world of the membrane.

"Only this much?"

Looking at the modified values ​​that appeared before my eyes.

Hu Qi was somewhat surprised.

These modified values ​​were exactly the same, except for one thing: even the percentage sign provided was identical.

This kind of thing has never happened before, even in normal times.

Moreover, those monsters didn't have any modified values ​​at all.

The modified values ​​were all provided by human players.

Is it because of this world?
Think of this.

He looked up and saw a line of dark red characters, like congealed blood, floating in the air above him.

The Serpent of Annihilation

Below this name is a health bar that seems to stretch endlessly.

"Am I now a red-named monster, or a big boss? This game world is quite interesting!"

A strange light flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

Thinking back to the information I had obtained from Yao Yue, the self-painting master.

We now have a general understanding of the current situation.

The world here is completely gamified.

After his true form entered the world, he was further restricted by the world's own rules and became a world boss.

However, for this situation.

Yao Yue has already mentioned this before.

Upon entering this place, your body will automatically transform into some kind of monster, or your original form.

Therefore, Hu Qi was not too surprised.

At this moment, he recalled the information the other party had provided earlier.

According to what the other party said.

The reason why this situation has occurred is...

Something called imaginary space appeared, connecting to other worlds.

This imaginary world is like a game world.

Once ordinary people enter, they become players, can choose a profession, advance to the extraordinary level, and gain experience by hunting monsters to increase their level.

The power gained will not disappear; it will be fed back into the physical body in the real world.

To elevate the physical body to the extraordinary.

This situation drives people all over the world crazy.

However, these people are completely unaware that they are accelerating the demise of the world with their own hands.

The monsters that emerged from the imaginary space were actually manifestations of the primordial power of various worlds.

Every time players slay monsters and gain power, they are actually eroding the life force of the world itself.

Imaginary space is merely a medium.

It makes players believe they are gaining power, but in reality, they are unknowingly becoming accomplices in devouring the world.

If not stopped in time, the only outcome for these worlds will be destruction.

And they.

Enter here.

The sole purpose.

The goal is to find the culprit behind all this and destroy it.

"However, the fact that it can exert such binding force on a Dao Lord shows that this world is indeed extraordinary!"

A strange light flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

According to Yao Yue.

Even if you enter this place, you can only move around in monster form for the time being. It will take a long time to adapt before you can return to human form.

Therefore, the previous plan was to wait until we got used to the rules here.

They regrouped and devised a plan to leave the imaginary space and invade the real world of the boundary membrane.

Because the source of the imaginary space is very likely not within the imaginary space itself.

Hu Qi doesn't need to do that.

Thinking of this, a layer of light emanated from his body.

That was distorted light.

Since ascending to the level of a true god, he has rarely used this talent.

At this moment, in his Dao Lord status, he unleashed a distorted light that covered his entire body, directly and forcibly distorting the powerful rule force applied to him.

Its originally enormous size flashed with light.

They vanished from their spot as if they had never existed.

Below, on an ice hill that was once part of the eternal ice plains.

Then there was another young man dressed in white robes, with an incomparably handsome face.

It was Hu Qi.

Amidst the howling of the cold wind.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing quietly at the world before him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

In an instant.

An invisible energy fluctuation suddenly spread out from him.

In an instant, all the players on planet B15 were violently shaken, as if they were being crushed by an immense force.

At this moment.

They are just like ordinary people.

All the extraordinary powers within him, including magic, fighting spirit, and true energy, fell into a state of utter stillness.

Under this immense pressure, their bodies collapsed uncontrollably to the ground, their bones creaking under the strain.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed as if countless invisible giant hands were simultaneously slamming down from the void.

The players exploded one after another like crushed flies, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

However, these blood mists disappeared gradually and became transparent not long after they appeared.

It looked as if it had been covered by wind and snow.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that even the pieces of flesh and blood have disappeared.

Modified value +1 (1%)

Modified value +1 (1%)

……

In that instant, the modified value increased by another 30,000.

Although it seems like a small amount, it only adds up to about 40,000.

However, this is just a planet.

Within this imaginary space.

It's just a small part of the map.

There are other planets besides this one.

and.

And most importantly, the players he killed were not completely dead.

Just like its name suggests.

These players will be forcibly logged off after being killed.

It will come back after a while.

They won't actually die.

This is a good thing for Hu Qi.

Because of this.

He can then repeatedly refresh and modify the values.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Hu Qi's face.

He could easily take advantage of this time to reap a large harvest of modified values.

This is to prepare for future improvements and modifications.

"Now I just hope these players don't have a resurrection limit..."

……

At the same time.

In a room.

A faint blue light shone from the edge of an oval-shaped nutrient tank, and accompanied by a soft mechanical hum, the hatch slowly opened.

Inside the cabin.

Inside the pale blue nutrient solution.

Lying on the ground was a young man with several black lines on his face.

suddenly.

He convulsed violently, and suddenly opened his eyes as if waking from a nightmare.

He sat up inside the cabin.

Look carefully.

You'll notice his pupils contracting rapidly, as if stimulated by the light coming from the window.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his chest heaved violently, as if he had just gone through a life-or-death struggle.

This person was none other than the mage named Suli from the six-person team that had previously gone to the Eternal Ice Plains to hunt the Frost Dragon.

Su Li took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

He carefully sensed the condition inside his body, and his expression gradually turned grim.

His face twitched involuntarily a few times, a look of pain flashing across his face.

"Damn it! This is a huge loss! Not only did this death cause my strength to regress by a full ten levels, dropping me from a high-level mage to a mid-level mage, but I'm also afraid all my equipment is gone!"

Suddenly, Gromos felt a warm liquid flowing out of his nasal cavity.

He reached up and touched his nose, and saw that his palm was covered in bright red blood.

"What's wrong with me?!"

He was startled.

No time to think too much.

A soft white light emanated from his palm.

After a treatment was used to stop the nosebleed.

Subsequently.

He scanned his body but found nothing.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

I think it might be due to my own emotional fluctuations.

He had read popular science articles on this topic before, which explained that emotional excitement can cause blood vessels in the face and nasal cavity to dilate, increasing pressure on the blood vessel walls and leading to tearing of capillaries and bleeding.

After all, a mage's body is very weak.

Compared to classes like warriors and paladins, they are incredibly fragile.

Think of this.

He shook his head.

To stop thinking about the decline in strength and equipment.

He took out his phone and glanced at the group chat.

The teammates all reported that they were safe and sound, indicating that everything was alright.

However, the results were similar to his.

The level dropped, and the strength decreased by a whole realm.

All his equipment was gone.

It's fair to say that their team suffered a complete financial loss in this dragon-slaying operation.

At this time.

The assassin, Gromos, spoke in the group chat.

"Everyone, check the forum, something terrible has happened!"

A link was also posted after that sentence.

See this.

He clicked the link, which automatically launched another forum on his phone called 'Boundless'.

This is a gathering place exclusively for players of the Imaginary Space.

The forum is incredibly active, with an astonishingly large number of people online every day.

Countless new posts flood in every day.

And today.

Right in the most prominent position on the homepage, a post that had been pinned and highlighted by the administrator caught his eye.

The bold red title is particularly eye-catching:
A complete list of all currently appearing world bosses - continuously updated.

I glanced at the poster.

The poster's name is 【天机老老】.

This person is a well-known and influential figure on the forum.

Rumor has it that he took up a special, hidden job.

He is well-informed about all kinds of news.

He frequently leaks various information on the forum, as well as monster-hunting strategies in the Imaginary Space.

The post was made three minutes ago.

However, at this moment, this post...

The number of likes and discussions has been visibly increasing.

The number of likes alone has exceeded 100,000.

After clicking on it.

Su Li habitually ignores the meaningless discussions among the viewers.

Click the top right corner and select "Show only posts by this thread starter".

Immediately, the content of the post below became clear.
