Chapter 817 The Outcast (8k views, +1 monthly vote)

Nanyang District, military base.

Hundreds of players gathered in the command center, speechless. The military base's solid internal and external defenses, as well as its various firepower equipment, now offered no sense of security whatsoever.

"If we cover ourselves in feces now, can we bet that Mo Ke won't kill us?"

At the head of the left side of the conference table, Xiao Zi, who was no more than twenty years old, made a surprising remark.

The Green Plant Master, the leader of a major guild, pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's difficult. If we anger them, we might all die even more miserably."

"It is said that Mo Ke started out selling hooks, which is why he is so tyrannical. He wants to take revenge on all intelligent beings. Such an extreme guy will not show mercy just because of a little cleanliness," said another player leader, the Priest of Ten Thousand Flames.

"I have a feeling that we've missed our only chance to survive."

Xiaozi sighed deeply. She knew that her mind was not very stable, but she was not so delusional as to think that she could defeat the King of the Ages.

"Gentlemen...the situation is not good."

The player in charge of intelligence, Twilight, pointed to the detector. This detector, which cost a huge amount of resources, constantly monitored the Nanyang region, and every Source Power user would be marked with a conspicuous red dot.

But now it's no longer a matter of whether it's conspicuous or not. The entire screen is filled with bright red light, and beings with an energy level of unpredictable intensity are entering the Nanyang region and are heading towards the military base.

"At this speed, are they taking a walk?"

“That makes sense. You and I are indeed not worth Wang taking seriously.”

"Vodka has already obtained the authority over the Sky Fortress and the Celestial Trial through a secret letter from the Vodka clan. Their intention is to keep the body of Di Jiang after he is killed, as the Vodka clan is interested in his secret of advancing to demigod status in three months."

"That smiling tiger Fuwo finally couldn't resist making a move. I really thought he was magnanimous."

The presence of two superweapons designed to counter demigods eased the atmosphere in the conference room somewhat. Although everyone still felt the odds of victory were slim, at least there was a glimmer of hope for them to struggle.

……

As dawn breaks.

Jiang He was walking down the street when she bumped into a stunningly beautiful red-haired girl named Qing Mingming.

Because of her status as the chosen one of the world's destiny, a series of "heaven-sent opportunities" come one after another. Wang Yitong is just the beginning; the ultimate goal of the world is to control the direction of the chosen one's progress through personal feelings.

"I think I've seen you before."

Qing Mingming stood there, her face slightly flushed.

Chief Qing was assassinated, and Luo Qingshan disappeared unexpectedly. She hadn't been to the Doomsday Academy for a long time and was even preparing to transfer to the Iris Flower Girls' Etiquette School.

Jiang He had no interest in paying attention to the girl.

Aside from beating each other up, the two had absolutely no connection.

The two passed each other.

"Wait a minute," Qing Mingming called out, "Can you walk with me?"

The red-haired girl was somewhat surprised that she would say such a thing, but her bad mood made her unwilling to think about it deeply. She only knew that the moment she saw the young man, she rediscovered the thrill she felt when she first met Luo Qingshan.

Jiang He turned around, her expression thoughtful, and said, "Was our meeting some kind of inevitability?"

"what?"

Qing Mingming chuckled, but before she could speak, a hand rapidly enlarged in front of her.

Jiang He grabbed the girl and instantly refined her.

Destroying the physical body and cleansing the soul, possessing the strength of an S-class demigod, Jiang He fully utilized his alchemy mastery, inscribing a certain "sure-hit" symbol on the girl's body in a matrix form on the tip of the golden Heavenly Punishment Spear.

"You can encounter high-quality materials even while walking down the street."

"This treatment is far too generous."

"Unfortunately, it only works in the dark world."

Jiang He casually bought a can of beer from the vending machine. When he arrived at the Nanyang military base, it was already under heavy guard.

Long!
The earth trembled.

As Jiang He stepped down, massive steel walls rose up from all sides, surrounding the military base.

Boom boom boom!
Hundreds of source energy cannons fired simultaneously, the exhaust flames of the shells cutting through the sky as they fell towards Jiang He. Before they even hit the ground, they exploded directly, without the expected flashes or impact. The shells released a dense, dark green gas.

One by one, seeds invisible to the naked eye took root and sprouted.

Under the guidance of the Green Plant Guild, a forest was suddenly formed—a powerful spell of battlefield scale.

A thick snakewood tree came flying at us.

Jiang He flashed, and a straight stream of light shot out of the forest, sweeping out with tremendous force, shattering countless trees in all directions, and causing a deafening explosion.

Outside the forest, the Priest of Ten Thousand Flames, who was preparing a legendary fire spell, suddenly froze.

According to the plan, when the legendary fire mage encounters the dark green forest, his power will increase exponentially. The enormous furnace will refine all enemies, forcing Mo Ke to teleport and fall into the trap, where he will then be dealt the final blow by the Celestial Judgment.

"Why!?"

The Priest of Ten Thousand Flames was utterly devastated and cried out, "Why did everyone ignore his movement speed?!"

In an instant, lightning flashed.

Bang bang bang!
Jiang He seemed to have ripped off the heads of hundreds of people at once, and mouthfuls of blood gushed out from the wound on his neck. One-sixth of the Dusk players died in a single encounter. Even now, the God-like Indestructible Evolution still possesses a thinking speed that surpasses the current level.

Inside the military base, the Green Plant Association president was about to detonate the artificial forest, but in a moment of carelessness, his entire body froze, his eyes wide with fury, yet he was unable to move an inch.

The concept of "Ignoring the Blind" ignores the "actions" of everyone present, causing each player to forget how to act and stand there dumbly.

"Move!"

Thirty thousand shadow swords rained down, their ends linked together to form a curtain of raindrops, as if countless longswords were shattering the military base. The wails and screams of the players at dusk could be faintly heard.

In just three breaths, 70% of the players were wiped out.

Jiang He could sense that more than one kind of mystical power was attacking him, but the power of fate kept operating. It either failed midway or its aim went astray, and none of them succeeded in landing on him.

The Twilight Players' Legion was easily defeated.

At the Fu Clan military base on the edge of Anxi District, the ground trembled, as if everything had returned to the night of the Flame Demon's descent. An island rapidly rose into the air, and the source energy cannons as large as skyscrapers spewed out light comparable to the blazing sun, like a celestial river bursting its banks, with a torrent of energy sweeping in.

Jiang He's eyes were calm.

The core weapons of the Fu clan must be in the hands of the Fu clan's higher-ups. Theoretically, the one who should be hostile to him is the demigod Fu Wo. However, if even the core weapons are deployed but Fu Wo himself is not present, then it is more likely that someone is framing him.

A torrent of water surged forth. Jiang He simply waved and pushed it out again.

call!
The aerial fortress suddenly appeared from dozens of miles away, like a giant shield suddenly thrust out, smashing into the torrent of artillery fire it was firing.

Boom!

The aerial fortress and the mechanized brigade within it were completely annihilated. The overflowing turbulence formed dozens of tornadoes in mid-air, destroying the war weapons that the Fu family had been developing for a century.

Suddenly, Jiang He looked up.

A vast beam of light descended from the sky. During the launch of the Space-Based Judgment, not only did the spine-strengthening power of the "Gravity Field User" increase, but the remains of the "Hidden One" also reduced their presence.

The spear of judgment is now within reach, its unparalleled destructive power causing space itself to collapse, making escape impossible.

Long!
A grand and violent roar echoed.

Jiang He pointed his gun, and a thin beam of light rose into the air. The moment it struck the Spear of Judgment, the Concept Gene Razor Principle took effect.

The spear of judgment, which was powerful enough to severely injure or even kill a demigod, was immediately reduced to materials such as spine, skin, and alloy. As for the aftershocks, they were nothing more than a gentle breeze to a demigod.

The area around the military base was completely silent.

Even the demigods who were secretly watching were dumbfounded.

Jiang He collected all the alchemical materials from the Spear of Judgment, picked up the Golden Heavenly Punishment Spear again, and began to wreak havoc on the battlefield.

……

"The Twilight Legion is finished."

On a high-rise building more than ten miles away, the End Player of the Poker Club reported to the communicator: "The King of the Era has been confirmed to have reached the demigod level, and he is even more troublesome. The Sky Fortress and the Celestial Judgment are like toys in his hands."

On the other end of the communicator, Duke Bai said gravely, "Before Queen Shia's return, neither the mortals, nor Twilight, nor even our end, have the power to challenge the King. The only thing we can do now is to endure. The Amitabha Master of the Amitabha Clan escaped the random execution. He has now gone to the Papal States and has a chance to be promoted to S-rank."

Inside the channel, another female player chimed in: "Four battlefields, a total of four demigods will emerge before the core of the world will be born. Mo Ke has gone ahead, but as long as we can hide, he can only wait."

The White Duke complained, "I'm afraid he'll become a demigod or higher. Tell the leaders not to slack off."

"not good!"

The player who was observing suddenly shouted.

In her line of sight, Jiang He pulled the head of the player "Xiao Zi" from his neck, along with his spine, and then turned her head, her gaze landing precisely on the top of the building.

Then, Jiang He raised the Heavenly Punishment Spear.

Countless golden lightning bolts emerged from nothingness, coiling around the gun like a swarm of wildly dancing snakes, and flashing blinding light wherever the spearhead pointed.

The next moment, Jiang He threw out her fate.

The lightning strike that pierced through the heavens and earth soared through the air, resembling an endless pillar of lightning. The shattered space along its path was merely a grand backdrop to its immense power. The moment the spear was thrown, the target's fate of death was already sealed.

Boom!

The building crumbled, and the players who couldn't dodge in time were annihilated.

In an instant, the spear was back in his palm.

Jiang He fired several shots, destroying the Dusk Headquarters.

……

Anxi District, Finance Building.

The dozens of Origin players who had remained uninvolved throughout the entire war had complicated expressions on their faces. This war required absolutely no effort from them, and even providing support seemed superfluous. In less than half a day, the main force of players from Twilight and the Battlefield of All Beings had been wiped out.

"Is this the power of a king?" Chu Tianming sighed.

Ye Bulu pondered, "If we don't get involved, we won't have to worry about being affected. In the last battle for the world of conquest, wouldn't it have been easier if the Origin players had just found a place to sit down and play cards together?"

Chu Tianming couldn't help but say, "That might be true in terms of the outcome, but we can't rely too much on the king's power."

"Then die, and don't blame anyone." Wuhe combed his feather coat, which reflected his aesthetic sense.

Si Ning crossed her arms and sat down next to Lao Hei.

She wasn't very interested in the meeting, but Lao Jiang's condition was more worrying. The first cup of the Night World, Xin Xin, was blown to pieces, the second cup, Luo Yueju, was sacrificed, the third cup, Cai Wan, became a bomb, and the fourth cup, Luo Yeli, was also sacrificed. Although Lao Jiang had advanced to demigod status, he was in the predicament of having no cups to use.

"Even as the final battle approaches, we must find a new cup."

"Otherwise, my relationship with Lao Jiang might become ambiguous."

At the head of the conference table, Chu Tianming announced: "Without the obstruction of the players from the two battlefields, the second wall plan will be completed before dawn tomorrow. Taige should issue combat missions to all units. Next will be the final battle with the vampires, or rather, the final battlefield."

Everyone immediately started talking.

Two of the vampire demigods died during the attack on the Giant Enterprise Alliance, leaving twelve remaining. Both the First and Second Clans have two demigods, and in terms of top-tier combat power, humanity is at a disadvantage.

Ye Bulu coughed twice and said, "As per Commander Wu's request, we need to collect as many blood cores as possible for Mo Ke. Anxi Fortress has been looted several times before, so the reserves are not too many, but they are still not enough to cope with the situation."

No one objected.

Mo Ke's strength is the biggest indicator of our side's chances of winning.

Night falls on the lakeside villa.

Jiang He sat quietly in the empty room.

While Taiko was busy cleaning up the mess from the day, he still managed to send over a military plan.

"The Papal States have pledged to defend the southern part of the fortress."

"The three clan leaders and Shadow are in charge of the east and west wings, while the north is left to me and Aoqing. The problem is that the royal family is in charge of war, so why are they starting to defend?"

Jiang He pondered for a moment and came to a guess.

With the aerial fortress and the celestial trial destroyed, the fortress's defensive capabilities have been severely weakened. Under these circumstances, launching another offensive could easily result in the loss of the entire fortress city. Humanity has already lost the strategic initiative. The bigger problem is that there may be a traitor among the demigods who is sowing discord.

"Laojiang, we're back!"

Si Ning walked up to the second floor with a smile, followed by a blonde girl.

"A classmate I met on the way said he needed to talk to you."

Ambaris, feeling both nervous and uneasy, pursed her red lips and said, "Your Excellency Dijiang, may I ask about Yuan Xue?"

The blonde girl was in a state of turmoil. She had previously replaced Yuan Xue's existence. With the cancellation of "ignoring" her, everything naturally returned to normal. That morning, the students of Class 5A saw Principal Yilong and Yuan Xue talking to Di Jiang, trying to find out about the replacement. This was the only clue at the moment.
