A different world game? A different world game!

Lurek looked at the enemy in front of him.

The destructive power of the void combined with the opponent's rules resulted in a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

He had to make a quick decision.

In a flash, a resolute light burst forth in Lurek's cloudy yet sharp, eagle-like eyes.

Can't delay!
I must use absolute power to completely destroy this void beast before my injuries completely break me down!

Every minute you delay increases the risk to yourself, and each wound becomes harder to heal, turning into a hole that constantly drains your life force.

Bleeding and destruction are the nemesis of data-driven life.

Therefore, the other party must be completely destroyed.

"Drink--!!!"

A roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of ancient lava, exploded from Lurek's throat.

His arm muscles bulged as he forcefully pulled the prism-shaped arm, which was deeply embedded in his chest, out, drawing out a large gush of hot blood.

The excruciating pain made his vision go black, but he ignored it.

He no longer wanted to test the other party; he wanted to unleash his absolute power to completely destroy the other party, leaving no trace.

The next moment, the dwarven sage raised the forged warhammer in his hand high, pointing it directly at the gray, chaotic sky.

Rumble——! ! !
The sky above the entire battlefield suddenly darkened, not because night had fallen, but because extremely violent thunder energy instantly converged, forming a thick thundercloud vortex covering several miles in radius.

The formation of these thunderclouds was almost visible to the naked eye, and it took less than ten seconds to complete.

At the center of the vortex, blinding white light converged and spun wildly, emitting a deafening roar.

Countless thick, silvery-white electric snakes danced wildly, connecting the clouds and the earth, illuminating every horrified face, and also the cold, crystalline surface of the Crystal Slayer's compound eyes.

During the guidance process, he did not make any close contact with the other party, but kept dodging and waiting for the opportunity.

Until the thunderclouds have fully converged.

Lurek's body became the fuse of the storm.

"Come!"

Boom——! ! !
The raging lightning, like a silver river pouring down from the heavens, instantly engulfed him completely.

Everyone couldn't help but look in that direction, because the sight was simply too eye-catching.

The lightning struck down like a pillar, and the originally gloomy sky was almost instantly illuminated by the flash.

Then came the deafening roar.

The void creatures surrounding the two were instantly torn apart by the shock.

Lurek's figure rapidly expanded and grew taller amidst the blinding lightning, as if transforming into a towering phantom made of pure lightning energy.

These lightning bolts originated from his body, mixing with external lightning and enveloping his body.

This giant was entirely composed of leaping lightning bolts, its face vaguely resembling Lurek's resolute and furious features, wielding a colossal warhammer formed from the compression and condensation of countless bolts of lightning.

"Thunder Ancestor - Wrath of Judgment!"

The Thunder Giant's voice boomed like a thousand thunderbolts exploding simultaneously, carrying the majesty of judgment over everything.

It ignored the dozens of low-level void creatures around it that were instantly reduced to ashes by the lightning, and the huge eye of lightning locked onto the "Crystal Severer" below.

The Crystal Slayer's compound eyes flashed violently for the first time, sensing a deadly threat.

The crystal blade tentacles on its back danced wildly, tearing open spatial rifts that attempted to sever the Thunder Giant.

The pyramidal arms on its shoulders also erupted with unprecedented purplish-black shockwaves, even at the cost of its own life, pulverizing several Void Claw Beasts that tried to approach to absorb energy to strengthen its defense.

However, its resistance seemed so pale in the face of such overwhelming divine might.

The Thunder Giant moved.

The giant hammer in its hand did not smash down, but rather crashed down with a thunderous roar, as if a mountain of thunder had been toppled.

"drink!"

The first hammer!
Space is compressed!
The Crystal Slayer's hard crystalline armor groaned under the strain, and fine cracks instantly spread all over its body. Its massive body was slammed to its knees, and its sickle-like limbs were deeply embedded in the scorched earth.

Another thunderclap resounded, this time the sound of thunder mingled with the sound of hammering.

"drink!!"

The second hammer!
The cracking sound was deafening!
The two pyramidal arms that the Crystal Slayer had been desperately trying to block were shattered inch by inch by the raging lightning, exposing its purplish-black energy core, which flickered wildly.

The shockwave was completely torn apart and annihilated by the thunder.

One of its crystal blade tentacles was also blasted off, and a viscous, purplish-black energy liquid gushed out from the broken end.

This time, the thunderous roar seemed to carry the pain of the enemy, not from their mouths, but from the groans of their bodies as they could not bear the strain.

"drink!!!"

The third hammer!
The end is coming!

The massive thunder hammer, crackling with terrifying electric current capable of tearing through space, slammed into the flat head of the Crystal Skeleton Cutter with earth-shattering force, without any fancy moves.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

boom--! ! ! !

Heaven and earth lose color!

An indescribable roar and a burst of intense light powerful enough to burn the retina erupted instantly.

A sphere of destructive light, over a hundred meters in diameter and composed entirely of pure lightning, rose from the ground and completely engulfed the Crystal Slicer.

Inside the sphere of light, there was a terrifying turbulent flow of energy powerful enough to evaporate legendary matter, and the spatial structure became distorted and blurred in that instant.

The sphere of light came quickly and went quickly.

When the intense light faded, all that remained was a huge, deep pit with molten crystals flowing along its edges.

At the bottom of the pit, apart from a few wisps of purplish-black smoke, bearing the marks of spatial tearing, there was nothing else.

The legendary void creation, the "Crystal Cutter," has been annihilated!
Not even a trace of residue was left.

The radiance of the Order Obelisk suspended high in the sky seemed to flicker slightly in response to this earth-shattering attack.

The battlefield fell into a brief silence as everyone was stunned by the devastating scene.

At the edge of the pit, the phantom of the Thunder Giant slowly dissipated, revealing Lurek's true form.

He leaned on his broken hammer, cracked and dimmed of lightning, a hammer that had been with him for so long, which seemed no longer able to bear his strength.

The extreme power displayed by those three hammer blows had already brought this hammer to the limit of its lifespan.

He knelt on one knee, blood still flowing from the penetrating wound in his chest, dark golden blood dripping down the hammer handle, but his back remained ramrod straight.

He could feel that the power of the bleeding rule had dissipated, and his physical condition was repairing the damage. The only thing remaining was the power of the void origin.

This means the other party is dead.

He abruptly raised his head, his blood-stained beard bristling, and with all his might, roared out a voice infused with thunderous battle aura that echoed throughout the entire Steel Cliff battlefield:
"The Void Legend—Destroyed!!!"

"The rift has broken—no hope of reinforcements!!!"

"Night Watch—All troops—Attack—!!!"

The sound was like igniting the last and most intense powder keg.

Lurik's performance just now was more inspiring than any speech.

The morale of everyone surged once again, reaching its peak, and everyone charged forward.

"Roar--!"

"Kill them all!"

"For Lord Lurek! For the Night's Watch! For the Expeditionary Force!" "For my fields!"

The warriors, who had been holding back their anger for half a year and whose hearts were filled with rage and the desire for revenge, had gone somewhat mad after witnessing the fall of the Void Legend and hearing their commander's awe-inspiring roar.

All hesitation and fear were cast to the winds.

"Fuck that purple glass shard! Smash it for me!"

Behind the crenellations of the city wall, the orc Daniel went berserk. No longer content with precise kills, he swung his weathered two-handed battle axe into a raging whirlwind.

Each strike was fueled by pent-up rage from the past six months. The axe blade, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, slammed into the skull of a "Bone-Eating Pangolin" below, which was trying to climb with its crystalline claws.

Snap! Puff!
The hard crystal cluster shattered, scattering fragments of carapace and brain tissue mixed with a purplish-black viscous liquid, drenching Daniel's head and face.

He casually wiped his face, flicking away the blood, and laughed maniacally, revealing his hideous fangs: "Awesome! Again! Lia, give that bunch of crispy bits crammed together on the right a big one!"

The battlefield was filled with shouts; if you didn't speak loudly, no one could hear you.

Not far away, the elven mage Lia's face was calm as ice, but the flames of revenge burned in her emerald eyes.

Her slender fingers traced rapidly across the rune staff, forcibly restraining and compressing the raging fire element in the air.

It was no longer a scattered fireball, but a condensed, solid, and blindingly white "sunlight ray".

Swoosh—Boom!

The rays, like a red-hot knife cutting into butter, precisely pierced through the three crystal cluster worms that were huddled at the base of the city wall, trying to melt the seams of the fortifications with corrosive acid.

The high temperature instantly melted and vaporized their crystalline outer shell, causing the viscous slurry inside to boil and expand violently, triggering a chain reaction of explosions.

Purple flames and foul-smelling black smoke rose up, tearing several Voidclaw Beasts nearby to shreds in the shockwave.

"Clear the area! Move forward!"

Lia's clear shout remained distinct even after the explosion, carrying a chilling killing intent.

"Hey! Big guy, stop chopping and watch your step!"

The halfling Felchick, like a small ghost, moved nimbly among the shadows of the crenellations and the toppled defensive equipment.

His targets were not the massive monsters, but the small, agile void creatures that tried to spew venomous stings or unleash psychic interference waves from the shadows.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The alloy dart, coated with a deep purple neurotoxin, precisely pierced the compound eye and joint of a giant centipede-like "Rift Stalker" lurking beneath the wreckage of a siege engine.

The monster let out a high-pitched hiss, its body convulsing and paralyzing violently. A night watchman crossbowman seized the opportunity and a crossbow bolt as thick as a child's arm pierced its skull with a "thud".

"Thanks, you shorty!"

The crossbowman roared, quickly nocked the crossbow bolt, and aimed at the next target.

"You're the short one! I call this agility!" Felczek yelled back, his figure already disappearing into another shadow.

The crossbowman simply shrugged and continued fighting.

On the main battlefield beneath the city walls, the Lightbringer Heavy Knights of the Night Watch, like a red-hot branding iron, plunged fiercely into the commandless and chaotic Void Beast horde.

"For the world! For the Night's Watch! Crush them!!!"

The commander of the charge, a human knight covered in dark gold rune plate armor, roared, drowning out the neighing of his warhorse and the clanging of weapons.

His lance spewed out scorching holy light and battle aura, each thrust precisely shattering the energy core of a Void Claw Beast, purple crystal fragments and filthy blood evaporating with a "sizzle" in the holy light.

Closely following the flanks of the heavy cavalry was a forest of advancing Night's Watch infantry phalanxes.

"Shield up! Advance!"

"Spearman! Thrust!"

The command was short and forceful.

The massive tower shields, layer upon layer, formed a moving steel barrier, forcefully smashing and crushing the twisted monsters blocking its path.

From the gaps, spears gleaming with a cold light pierced out like venomous snakes, specifically targeting the joints of void creatures, the gaps in crystal clusters, or the weak points in armor dimmed by the light of the obelisk.

"Pfft! Crack!"

The sounds of spearheads piercing flesh and shattering crystal armor were incessant.

An infected rock-armored beast roared and charged forward, its huge rocky claws slamming into the shield wall with a loud "thud!" The shield dented, and the shield-wielding warrior's hand was split open, spitting out blood, but he held on tightly.

The spearmen beside it seized the opportunity, and several spears simultaneously pierced the purple crystallized part of its rocky shell from different angles!
"Ow—!"

The rock-armored beast let out a painful roar and froze.

The shield warriors who came to the rescue roared and charged forward, forcing the behemoth to stagger backward before being overwhelmed by even more spears.

"Daniel's squad! Follow me! There's a tough one over there!" Martha's crisp, yet menacing voice rang out.

She stood on a slightly elevated scorched earth slope, her compound bow drawn to its full extent.

An arrow wrapped in wind element and armor-piercing runes "whooshed" off the bowstring and precisely embedded itself in the gap between the compound eyes of an unusually large "High-Rank Rift Rift Ripper" that wielded crystallized scythe forelimbs.

The monster was in pain and its movements faltered.

Daniel roared and smashed through the low-level clawed beasts blocking his way like a human tank. He leaped high into the air, and his battle axe, carrying immense force, slammed into Martha's wound with a "boom"!

Snap—Clang!
The axe blade embedded itself deeply, and a violent force exploded along the crack, shattering half of the "Ripper's" head along with its compound eye crystals.

A viscous, purplish-black energy slurry gushed out like a fountain.

"Well done, Martha!"

Daniel landed, panting heavily as he roared, his chest heaving violently.

His old wounds no longer stung under the light of order, but the new claw marks were oozing blood.

Felchick climbed onto the remains of a nearby crystal cluster worm like a gecko, deftly severing several void energy tentacles that were trying to entangle a fallen warrior with his dagger.

"Save your energy! There's more to come!"

Lia's voice rang out, and a frost nova bloomed at the tip of her staff, instantly freezing several acid beetles that were trying to flank her, clearing the way for the charging troops.

Behind this devastating torrent of destruction, the Night's Watch's engineering corps achieved astonishing efficiency.

They are no longer supporting characters on the battlefield, but the architects of victory.

The massive alchemical vehicle—the "Founder" platform truck—roared across the scorched earth still emitting smoke and heat, its tracks crushing shattered crystal remains and monster limbs.

"Module A-7 in position! Move the boom three degrees to the left!"

"Energy conduit connection! Quick! Input stable rune sequence!"

The engineers' voices were clearly transmitted across the noisy battlefield via magical communicators.

The massive mechanical crane boom creaked as it precisely lifted thick, precast alloy slabs with intricate runes etched along their edges into place.

"Force field generator activated! Shield nodes—connect in parallel!"

With a humming sound, the pale golden energy barrier rose from the edge of the newly landed module like ripples on water, quickly merging with the shields of neighboring modules to form a wider and more stable protective dome.

The craftsmen, wielding rune welding torches, were like busy worker ants, spraying dazzling blue-white sparks at the joints of the modules. The high temperature instantly fused the metal together, producing a sizzling sound and a distinctive burnt smell.

"Strengthen the foundation! Inject solidification magic liquid!"

Soldiers holding thick metal pipes inserted the pipe ends into the scorched earth, and a dark green, viscous liquid emanating from the earth was injected into the ground under high pressure.

The ground writhed and hardened like a living thing, instantly providing a solid foundation for the newly built steel barrier.

"Faster! Faster! Faster! We're racing against time!"

A dwarf engineering foreman, his face covered in grease, stood on a command vehicle, brandishing a wrench and roaring.

His target was the twisted, temporarily silent void rift ahead.

This towering steel defense line is like a giant, ever-tightening noose, relentlessly advancing towards that "wound of the world."

Each module's descent, each shield's glow, is a declaration of order against chaos, a step that pushes the abyss back to its lair. (End of Chapter)
