I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 141 Beast!

Chapter 141 Beast!
Sensing the various negative influences emanating from the water, Xu Yuexuan's eyes turned cold:
"Hmph, a mere trifle, how can it possibly be a match for my Holy Body... gulp..."

Because she opened her mouth to speak in a cool manner, pool water flowed back into her mouth, causing her to choke.

"Are you fucking an idiot?! Why aren't you swimming yet...!?"

Xu Yuechu's head couldn't help but curse aloud.

Because she could command the flames of the fire phoenix, she directly evaporated the water around her mouth, thus avoiding being choked in a disheveled manner.

The third brother, Xu Yueluo, remained silent, focusing solely on manipulating the two fire wheels that hovered behind him, spinning them at high speed and generating powerful propulsion.

After they merged, their six arms continuously slashed through the water, like a sharp blade cutting forward, directly splitting the swimming lane as they moved... Rather than swimming, it was more like Xu Yuexuan was launched like a torpedo.

To conserve energy and prolong the transformation time, the three relied on their combined physical strength to withstand the negative effects of the pool water, swimming forward while splashing huge waves.

The storyteller, who was traveling with them, was quickly left behind.

But the storyteller wasn't in a hurry at all.

The swimming lane is 10 kilometers long and requires swimming a round trip. A large number of monsters lurk in the water. Once you encounter danger, you cannot fight back and can only escape by swimming... Since the dungeon was launched, no player has been able to beat him in swimming competitions!

This kind of game design is inherently unreasonable.

He can make it appear in the dungeon because he sacrificed some of the difficulty of the main quest, but in exchange, he made the side quests more difficult and had a higher danger level cap.

Swim, swim... hehe... the faster you swim, the faster you die!

The storyteller cursed in his heart.

He knew that Xu Yuexuan and the other two must each have three badges left on them as a safety net, so they could leave the instance at any time.

But no matter how fast you evacuate, it still takes time for your thoughts to process – encountering danger, judging that you can't win, making the decision to leave, submitting the badge to clear the level... This process takes very little time, but enough for the monsters in the pool to tear the player apart.

This is basically how players who participated in competitive swimming have died.

'This time, it won't be the same...'

*Pfft*—The storyteller's smugness lasted only a few seconds before his entire body split vertically in two.

It was Cao Yu who summoned Xiao Qi to make the move.

A second or two later, the storyteller reappeared.

While maintaining his swimming speed, he turned his head and glanced sideways at Cao Yu in mid-air. He was furious, but he had to forcefully suppress his emotions and focus on the swimming competition.

Off-field attacks on competitors are not considered fouls.

While he could designate it as a foul, the more restrictions there are, the lower the ceiling of danger in swimming becomes, which is counterproductive.

He can only choose one.

'Let me show you how arrogant you are...'

*Pfft*—The story king was split in two again.

"..."

After his body reformed, his eyes turned sinister.

He endures it!

*Pfft*... He couldn't even hold back for two seconds before he was cleaved in two again.

And for some reason, the injuries Cao Yu inflicted on him when he killed him were more severe than those on other players... He felt as if his consciousness had been damaged and affected, causing him intense pain.

In this way, he was killed seven times in a row.

After reforming his body once again, he felt he could no longer endure it.

The other side was clearly determined to antagonize him, not even caring about the safety of their teammates?
What the storyteller didn't know was that Cao Yu was quite confident in Xu Yuexuan's abilities.

At least in the early stages of the competition, Xu Yuexuan could easily handle the dangers that arose.

Cao Yu's idea was simple—to test whether the storyteller could actively control the monster lurking in the swimming pool.

If it could be controlled... once the story king enters a state of rage, he might very well command all the monsters in the pool to attack.

At that time, he can unleash his full power and kill his way through, thus truly solving the problem once and for all.

Otherwise... if the dangers are spread throughout the entire competition and occur irregularly, he would not only have to keep the props running to keep himself flying in the air and keep up with Xu Yuexuan, but he would also have to concentrate on being aware of dangers and occasionally use his superpowers to help his teammates out of trouble... If he were to enter such a situation, his energy consumption would undoubtedly increase significantly, and the risks he would have to take would be considerable.

This is also why he did not directly participate in competitive swimming.

In a 20-kilometer race, he couldn't possibly keep the "Immortal Slaying Curse" covering his entire body to maintain defense.

Without Yang Chan present, he couldn't afford such extravagance.

So all I can do is resort to crooked ideas.

'Kill this guy 20 times first. If there's still no reaction after 20 times... either this guy is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, or the danger was pre-planned and cannot be changed.'

Cao Yu made a decision in his heart, and while continuing to kill the Story King, he removed the C-level item "Crimson Eye".

His probing soon yielded results.

……

The story king, having once again solidified his body, has suppressed his twisted desire to slowly torment his prey to death.

There's some damn bastard staring at him from above... He just couldn't take it anymore!

Taking advantage of the moment before Cao Yu could launch a new attack, he swiftly gave orders to the monsters lurking in the pool:
"Everyone, move out! Kill that three-headed, six-armed bastard right now!"

The order had barely been given, and before he could even feel any relief, his body was split in two again.

'Grass……'

Intense pain surged through his mind, each wave more painful than the last, driving the storyteller to the brink of madness.

Cao Yu then turned his gaze and locked onto Xu Yuexuan, who had already swum a considerable distance away... There was movement over there, and it was a big one!

The water in the pool began to slosh violently, as if some enormous creature was moving underwater.

Cao Yu increased the prop's wind power in one go, turning it into a powerful propulsion that propelled him swiftly forward.

at the same time.

Xu Yuexuan had already sensed that something was wrong.

At this moment, Xu Yuechu and Xu Yueluo are sharing her senses. Sensing the danger, the two react quickly and take defensive measures.

Xu Yuechu provided the "Wind and Fire Wheels" with even more intense firepower, creating a stronger propulsion and increasing its swimming speed.

Xu Yueluo then used a bright red long ribbon to wrap around their combined bodies, forming a protective barrier against external attacks.

Because of the competition rules, Xu Yuexuan herself cannot make any offensive actions, but the two of them, as "outsiders" with the status of providing off-field assistance, can act at will.

They cleverly mitigated the shortcomings of off-site assistance, which was deemed ineffective in addressing immediate needs.

suddenly!

Everything around slowed down.

The splashing water, Xu Yuexuan's swimming movements, the speed of her forward movement... everything slowed down.

This is not some obstructive force that is slowing down the environment.

Instead... time slowed down.

Xu Yuexuan's expression and the emotions in her eyes seemed to freeze.

Time is a magical force. Subjectively, she did not feel that she had slowed down; from her perspective, everything was normal.

In contrast to her, the horde of monsters lurking in the pool did not slow down. They poured out of the unknown space all at once, densely packed and overwhelming.

There were sea monsters as tall as buildings, their tentacles whipping up splashes of water tens of meters high. There were flying fish with spiky mouths, their numbers enough to terrify anyone with trypophobia, and each one was incredibly fast, all flying towards Xu Yuexuan as if to pierce the girl like sieves.

There is an ugly mermaid whose mouth is covered with sharp teeth and who can easily hallucinate his target with just his singing.

There was a monster covered in barbs. Instead of charging at Xu Yuexuan, it was injuring itself, as if it could transmit its injuries in tandem…

There are too many monsters!

A quick glance reveals that it's impossible to count them all in a short time.

And they keep appearing.

Upon seeing this scene, Cao Yu, who had flown over, immediately activated the "Life-Slaying Curse".

From his future perspective, he saw Xu Yuexuan using the combined power to defend against most of the attacks.

However, there were simply too many monsters launching attacks, some of which were invisible and silent, incredibly strange. In addition, time around her slowed down, making it impossible for her to defend against them all, and her body quickly became covered with countless wounds.

Frostbite, poisoning, penetrating wounds... The next second, flames suddenly erupted from these wounds, and the flames transformed into flesh and blood, filling and healing the injuries—Xu Yuechu had made his move, unleashing his elemental transformation technique.

However, the speed at which she can heal herself cannot keep up with the speed at which the injuries accumulate.

Whether Xu Yuexuan can hold out until the end of the competition and win the match is uncertain.

Upon seeing this, Cao immediately annihilated all the damage Xu Yuexuan had received in the 10-second future and also sealed off the power of time slowing.

At the same time, his voice reached Xu Yuexuan's ears:

"No need for defense, you are safe now, just swim."

Upon hearing Cao Yu's words, Xu Yuexuan did not hesitate and immediately abandoned her defense.

It wasn't that she was reckless, but rather that she noticed a subtle change—the monsters in front of her, who had been moving very fast just moments before, had suddenly slowed down... Based on her own situation, if she wasn't mistaken, she had just been affected by some kind of time-related force.

Now that she can see the monsters' speed with her naked eye, it means that Cao Yu has already restored everything to normal... If he can do something like this, why should she doubt his words?
She became a live target, fully utilizing her role as bait.

the other side.

Cao Yu did not rush to make a move.

The "Life-Slaying Curse" is activated silently, and outsiders cannot detect it—the storyteller won't think too much about it for now.

At this time, not all the monsters had been released.

The best time to attack has not yet arrived.

He is waiting!
While waiting, he moved the "Ruyi Eight-Sided Sword" to the item slot.

Ten seconds later, Cao Yu applied "Future Damage Lockdown" to Xu Yuexuan.

This made the story king, who was chasing behind, impatient and irritable, and he ordered the monsters to speed up their attacks.

Twenty seconds later, Cao Yu observed from his future perspective that the number of monsters had stopped increasing.

The time has come!

'Do it! '

He gave Xiao Qi the order and stopped the "Life-Slaying Curse," then charged towards the monster horde with his combat partners.

With so many monsters, it's completely impractical to use the "Death Curse" to extend their causal chains and restrict their movements.

In this situation, he no longer needs any fancy maneuvers.

All he needs to do is engage in the most primal form of killing!
Whoosh... Propelled by the storm, Cao Yu instantly flashed across a distance, like a flying cannonball, crashing into the densely packed group of monsters.

The longsword in his hand extended to more than ten meters in length, with the "Immortal Slaying Curse" and "Eternal Wound Curse" attached to it at the same time. He also circulated the "Qi" in his body and used "Fleeting Light and Shadow" to accelerate his attack. He then began to slaughter the monster group on the battlefield!

He and Xiao Qi each took charge of one side of the area, splitting aside all incoming attacks while tearing all the monsters within their line of sight to shreds.

Amidst the tremendous commotion, a forbidden zone for life was created.

The monsters' severed limbs rained down into the pool, splashing up large sprays of water.

The splattering of blood of various colors directly polluted the nearby pool water, turning it murky and allowing potent toxins to fester within, releasing a dark green toxic mist...

In a short period of time, Cao Yu created a scene that can only be described as tragic.

Many spectators were speechless with shock, their eyes filled with profound astonishment.

In less than ten seconds, Cao Yu had killed all the monsters, so fast that many of them didn't even have time to retreat.

This level of strength has long surpassed the realm of D-rank players; it's an monstrous existence outside the realm of common sense.

Seeing this, the storyteller silently dived into the water and began to swim underwater, not intending to surface.

He's out of options now.

'How did this guy even do that...!?'

'Nobody should be able to complete this side quest...'

As the designer of the dungeon game, the story master understands the difficulty of side quests better than anyone else.

Since the instance started running, no one has completed the side quests... His common sense, built on past experience, was overturned at this moment.

There are monsters among the players...

……

In the end, Empress Yuexuan won the swimming competition without any doubt.

Shortly after the Empress returned to the starting point of the swimming lane, the Story King also swam back.

He had just returned to the ground from the water when Cao Yu came to stand in front of him.

"..."

The storyteller looked at Cao Yu, and his anger had subsided.

Not only did he not have a temper, but his emotions were also somewhat complicated.

He felt a strange sense of gratitude towards Cao Yu for stopping his attack after killing the monster and not targeting him in the second half of the competition.

He was going crazy, he felt like he was really going crazy!

Cao Yu then asked:
"are you tired?"

“…A little.” The storyteller replied instinctively.

"That's perfect," Cao Yu said with a smile. "I'm going to have a fair and just swimming competition with you right now! And also..."

He pointed to Luo Feng, Su Mei, and Xu Yuechu and Xu Yueluo who had separated from their combined state behind him, and continued:

"So do they."

Storyteller: "..."

As expected, a beast will always be a beast!

……

You have completed the side quest.

You have started a new side quest.

Side Quest 2: Find the real Mr. Pingzheng
