Magic, Evil Gods, and the Fourth Calamity

Iron, copper, silver, gold, epic, legendary, myth.

This is the ladder of life in the world of Errol.

A thousand years ago, epics were everywhere, and legends were as common as dogs. Only by becoming that supreme myth could one achieve true transcendence in life.

But ever since that war between gods a thousand years ago, the gods have stopped walking in the world, legends have fallen, and epics have faded away.

Furthermore, as the total amount of magic power in the world of Errol dropped to a freezing point, the life level of the entire world of Errol also dropped drastically.

Today, epics are gone, and legends have vanished.

Gold Life has become the undisputed ceiling in the world of Errol.

The upper-level Silver rank is only one step away from Gold, and is recognized as the second strongest tier.

But now, this universally acknowledged second-strongest being is being besieged and killed by the lowest-ranking Black Iron, and is gradually facing its end.

"Don't tamper with it, it's useless!"

"Don't attack anywhere else, chop off heads, chop off heads! Chop off heads and we'll win!"

The players were chattering away, making Ga Gu's head ache.

He roared angrily, trying to vent his emotions, but this only provoked the players to attack him even more frantically.

"Hurry! The boss is stunned! Hurry! Where's the mage?! Mage, deal damage!"

Although the Silver Rank is currently the second life tier in the world of Errol, it is not powerful enough to transcend the physical body.

He will bleed if he is injured, and he will die if his head is cut off.

It's simply that the Silver Life form gave him a stronger physique, allowing him to have higher defense and self-healing abilities.

But at this moment, these abilities have become a torment.

A relentless stream of humans swarmed in like locusts, tearing at and devouring Ga Gu.

These guys aren't afraid of death; they won't die.

In normal circumstances, Ga Gu would simply need to rely on the difference in their life levels to forcefully break through the encirclement of these insects.

But now, under the gaze of that human demigod, he has only one path to choose from.

Fight! And then be devoured to death by these insects!

Gagu understood that this was an insult to him by the human demigod, and an humiliation to the orcs.

He was treated as a plaything, he was used as a training ground!

They were used as stepping stones for human demigods to eliminate human fear of orcs.

After his extreme anger, Ga Gu fell into a strange calm.

That string called anger eventually snapped due to being stretched too tight.

Ok!

Since that's the case, I won't do as you wish.

I will show humanity the power of the orcs, and I will make humanity's fear of the orcs deeply etched into their souls!

"O supreme god of war! I am willing to burn everything and bring nightmares of blood and death to my enemies!"

I am an orc! An orc who fights to the death!

Gagu roared, and a scarlet aura rose from his body as he burned his flesh and soul in exchange for an advancement in his life level.

In an instant, Ga Gu, who was originally only at the upper-level Silver rank, directly stepped into the Gold rank. With just a burst of aura, he knocked the surrounding players to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he simply swung his warhammer and sent dozens of players back to the fountain.

"Holy crap! The boss has entered phase two!"

The players gasped in surprise, and new notifications popped up on their game panels.

The orc general Gagu has gone berserk, and his current strength is far beyond what the current heroes can contend with.

Fortunately, this rampage was neither long-lasting nor without its costs.

Hero from another world, please do your best to hold off the enemy boss!

Mission completion countdown: 4 minutes and 59 seconds

Note: Please maintain aggro control over the enemy boss. If no player engages the boss, it will disengage, and the mission will automatically fail!

"Damn it, this bastard game planner saw we were having a good time and deliberately messed things up for me!"

Don't go and kill yourselves!

Five minutes! If we can hold out for just five minutes, we can win! Don't get wiped out! Don't get wiped out!

Blood and death continued to spread, and players who died and came back to life returned to the battlefield laughing and joking, adding a touch of absurdity to this brutal battle.

Some of them, with only half their bodies remaining, still hopped and leaped to attack the gauntlet; others had large holes in their abdomens, yet they didn't care at all about their organs spilling out.

The human soldiers stationed on the walls of Blackwater City watched the battle outside from afar, yet an indescribable fear arose in their hearts.

They were unsure whether they were afraid of the orc Gagu's power or terrified by the heroes' indifference to life.

They didn't realize that they were just standing there, feeling a profound sense of powerlessness.

Chaos value +1

Chaos value +1

In mid-air, Ai, who was in charge of the situation, suddenly received a notification that Chaos Points had been credited to his account, which made him raise an eyebrow.

He recalled that there were always two ways to obtain chaos value.

One method is to draw from the negative emotions of living beings, and the other is to draw directly from the souls of living beings.

During the days she disguised herself as the God of Light, Ai relied on the second method to obtain Chaos Points.

When a player kills an enemy, they can remotely devour the enemy's soul and body by consuming the Authority to gain enough Chaos Points.

While evil gods can gain chaos points from the negative emotions of living beings, not all chaos points can be absorbed; such negative emotions must be directed towards a specific target.

Ai is currently disguised as the God of Light, so she cannot personally descend to bring panic to living beings, and the Gluttonous Dragon cannot openly appear in the world of Errol.

That's why Ai was somewhat surprised by this harvest of Chaos Points.

Because the source of this chaos value is not the orcs, but humans. And Ai asked himself honestly, from the time he became the God of Light until now, he had absolutely never done anything to harm humanity.

In other words, negative human emotions are not directed at oneself, but rather at...

Ai's gaze fell on the players, and seeing that they were no different from those who had been bewitched by the evil god, she suddenly realized something.

Because the player's existence is achieved through the authority of the Gluttonous Dragon, all negative emotions directed at the player will ultimately converge on me.

Does that mean the more trouble the players cause, the more Chaos Points I get?

If I gather millions of players in one go, can I quickly restore the dragon's body to its powerful divine strength?

Ai Yi was thinking excitedly when she suddenly noticed the world trembling violently, and a sense of crisis that went deep into her being washed over her.

The next moment, a crimson giant sword descended from the sky, shattering the space in its path and revealing the eerie and terrifying void behind it.

boom!

The crimson greatsword struck Ai's head with pinpoint accuracy. The blow, originating from powerful divine force, instantly slammed Ai into the ground, unleashing an unparalleled impact.

boom!

The magical barrier protecting Blackwater City shattered instantly under the impact, and the towering walls of Blackwater City crumbled like tofu.

But the impact did not stop; it engulfed the entire Blackwater City, attempting to wipe out the city and all its inhabitants.

This is a strike from the Hall of War.

Enraged, He disregarded the possibility of world destruction and unleashed a divine strike upon the mortal realm.

Of course, this is not without its costs for the [Hall of War].

The world's will will punish Him for this behavior.

The punishment originates from the will of the world, and even beings with powerful divine power cannot resist it.

In the past, when divine punishment was unleashed on the potentially resurrected "Gluttonous Dragon," it was usually done by a powerful god, and then six powerful gods would summon all mythical beings to join forces to resist the punishment from the world's consciousness.

But this time is different. The Hall of War is bringing down divine punishment on its own, so it will also bear the punishment of the world's will alone!
