Magic, Evil Gods, and the Fourth Calamity

"Let's head east! There's a combat mission nearby, and I want to see how the game's combat performs!"

"When flowers bloom and wealth arrives," Hua Kaifu said, closing the map and offering this suggestion to the two people beside him.

"No problem!" "Okay!"

The wind and gurgle on the pig's mouth didn't have any particular thoughts at the moment, and readily accepted the suggestion given by Hua Kai Fu Gui.

So the three of them headed east.

Then they experienced another aspect of the game's charm: extraordinary power, the extraordinary power of controlling one's own limbs!

With its 100% realism, they seem to truly merge with the extraordinary beings in the game, rather than feeling like they are being controlled from a distance in another world, as is the case with other games.

Of course they will merge into one.

Because Ai directly connected their minds to their bodies in the other world, not through remote control via a virtual reality pod, but through a real-world descent of consciousness into their physical bodies.

Is this something that other virtual reality technologies can compare to?

Watching the three players head east towards the mission location, diligently adapting to their new bodies along the way, Ai, bound to the dark toilet, smiled with satisfaction.

That's more like it!

A seasoned player doesn't need any hints from the game's official team; they will spontaneously seek out what they can do!

His massive blood loss was well worth it, creating the most advanced physical bodies he could produce for the three of them!

He even used a new power that he had only recently mastered!

Name: Edmund Ifre

[Race: Ancient Dragon (Chaos Black Dragon)]

[Level: 150 (Mythical)]

[Status: Dead but not stiff (already dead)]

[Authority/Divine Duty: Flesh and Blood, Twisting, Devouring, Order (1‰), Light (Flawed) (1‰)]

[Titles: Dominator of Flesh and Blood, Usurper of Heaven, Gluttonous Dragon]

[Chaos Divine Power: 0/500 (Resurrection Cost)]

Chaos value: 12

Ai sat on the shattered, pitch-black throne, with a blue character panel floating in front of her.

When he was designing character panels for the "players", he also made one for himself.

The information on this character panel wasn't just randomly filled in by Ai; it was generated using another authority that didn't originally belong to him.

That was the authority of "order" held by the true god known as the "Holy Throne of Light," the master of the knight's lance on His chest.

Not long ago, when Ai was absorbing the energy from the spear in her chest, she unexpectedly discovered that the spear contained two authorities: "Order" and "Light".

These two authorities, which originally belonged to the Holy Throne of Light, are now, for some unknown reason, ownerless.

Ai, who only inherited a few memories of Edmund the Gluttonous Dragon, is unknown whether she actively severed ties with these two authorities when the Holy Throne of Light sealed her predecessor, or whether the Holy Throne of Light has already fallen at this moment.

But in either case, it's a good thing for Ai.

Since it is an unclaimed authority, Ai can try to take control of it while absorbing the spear's energy.

When Ai's control over these two powers exceeds 60%, he will be able to pull the knight's lance from his chest.

During the game design process, Ai unexpectedly discovered that her current control over the "Order" and "Light" authorities was only one-thousandth, which would save her the pain of creating character panels for the players.

With the help of the authority of "order", Ai can accurately obtain basic information about an item, because accurate information is also part of order.

Although the other "Light" authority was incomplete, even a fraction of it was enough for Ai to have the game system directly displayed on the player's retina.

And so, this game system built on authority was finally complete.

Ai wanted to polish it a bit more, using the fragmented memories of Edmund the Gluttonous Dragon in her mind to add some background information to the game.

But he later gave up because he didn't have much time left.

There is a time flow difference between Earth and this world; the time flow in this world is about five times that of Earth.

Aiyi's top priority is not polishing the game, but finding a way to attract people to the game!

This is so that I can acquire enough chaos points to survive.

Now, Ai has 12 Chaos Points left, which is only enough for him to survive for two and a half hours.

So Ai is really looking forward to everything that Huakai and Fugui will encounter next.

The location chosen by Huakai Fugui was on the route that a group of thirty people had to take!

The moment the player arrived in this world, Ai successfully bypassed the seal of the spear on her chest through the connection between herself and the player, projecting her consciousness outside the divine realm.

It uses the player as the transmitter to perceive all situations within a ten-kilometer radius.

And so he discovered this team of thirty people.

The team's objective appears to be the remains of its own dragon body, and there is a power within the team that feels familiar to Ai.

That is the power of the Holy Throne of Light, the very same god who killed and sealed away the original form.

One of the members of this team possesses an artifact bestowed by the Throne of Light, which contains a considerable amount of energy.

Ai was certain that as long as he used the Devouring Authority to absorb the power within that artifact, he could pull out that damned spear from his chest, and perhaps even revive his dragon body, becoming the complete [Gluttonous Dragon]!

……

"Is that Edmund, the Gluttonous Dragon, the strongest evil god who perished with my lord a thousand years ago?"

Teacher, Lord, is the opportunity for rebirth truly there?

Sixteen-year-old Eileen has a beautiful face and an exceptionally outstanding figure, nurtured by extraordinary power.

As the youngest and strongest Knight of Light in the Illuminati, she stood at the front of the pilgrimage procession, clad in gleaming silver armor.

Slender, fair fingers brushed aside the golden hair that had been blown away by the breeze, and her sapphire-blue eyes gazed westward several kilometers away at the colossal dragon skeleton that stretched across two mountain peaks, nearly a kilometer long, and had stood for thousands of years.

"Yes, Lady Eileen." Standing beside Eileen was an elderly priest with a hunched back, dressed in a pure white robe. His face, as dry as tree bark, was filled with an almost morbid madness and excitement.

He was Irene's teacher, a pivotal bishop of the Illuminati, and also the teacher of Irene, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Ruhr.

"Based on the Archbishop's perception made with his last breath, the power of the Holy See manifested there a few days ago. Combined with the weakening influence of the remains of the Gluttonous Dragon on the surrounding area over the past century, we can easily conclude that these are all signs of the Lord's resurrection... When the Gluttonous Dragon is completely dead, the Lord will reappear!"

What we need to do now is to reach the Gluttonous Dragon's belly, to reach the place of the Lord's reappearance, before the Lord awakens!

Eileen looked at the old man beside her, who was speaking in a frenzied tone, and then at the enormous dragon skeleton. She reached out and pressed her hand on the long sword at her waist. Her beautiful face, which still retained a touch of youthfulness, was solemn like never before.

"Okay, teacher."

Please inform the others that after a five-minute rest, we will continue our pilgrimage towards the remains of the [Gluttonous Dragon]!
