It's time to become an evil god.

Xiong Duoduo complained irritably, "The entire Hope Home orphanage is like a maze now, there's no way out at all. I thought it would be safer to come back and stay with you, but I didn't expect it to be even more dangerous here. I wish I hadn't come in."

"whispering sound."

Tianyu the Tyrant spat in dissatisfaction. The little boy in front of him seemed to possess some special power that turned his body into dust, which would not meet the kill judgment rules of [Curse Expulsion].

"In that case, I'll chop you both down with me."

He took a deep breath, pushing his physical abilities to the limit, even causing ripples to appear in the air.

With a low shout, Tianyu Tyrant charged towards John Wick, his toes leaving dents in the ground. In less than a second, he determined that the opponent's strength was insufficient to turn the entire target into dust. If he was fast enough, he could strike the possessed player and immediately dispel the attack, killing both players!

There are 24 frames per second, so the kill can be completed within 12 frames.

This is a constraint set by Heaven and the tyrant, within which the destructive power is maximized.

John Wick, who was raising his gun and pulling the trigger at that moment, was as slow as an eighty-year-old man with shaky legs in a nursing home in the eyes of the Heavenly Tyrant. He had already rushed to Bai Ge's side and slowly raised the knife in his hand.

However, the next moment, he froze on the spot.

His gaze swept past John Wick and looked behind him. The sight of a strange young man with a little girl sent chills down his spine.

The aura emanating from the young man nearly made him drop his knife, causing it to fall to the ground. Even the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Tianyu Tyrant struggled to suppress his fear. He had encountered all sorts of opponents before, but never had anyone, even before making a move, exerted such immense pressure on him simply by standing there.

"That's right, that man must be the monster sealed in the orphanage!"

In the final frame of "Heaven and Tyrant," he retracted his Curse-Chasing Blade, lightly leaped past John Wick's counterattack, pointed behind John Wick, and said, "Stop fighting, the mastermind behind the orphanage has appeared."

Upon hearing the name of the mastermind, John Wick hurriedly turned around, only to see Bai Ge appear behind him with a little girl.

After hearing what Tianyu the Tyrant said, Bai Ge, completely bewildered, pointed to himself and said hesitantly, "Wait, when did I get the villain boss's script?"

Chapter 543 The Old Gods Existing on Earth

"There's absolutely no mistake."

The Heavenly Tyrant forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and gained ultimate perception from the Heavenly Curse, allowing him to clearly sense the strongest spiritual pressure and spiritual energy in the surrounding area even without using reconnaissance tools.

Everything pointed to Bai Ge in front of him. The scene that Tianyu Tyrant had conjured up from the depths of his mind was that he was standing in front of a huge, rusty cage. The cage was dilapidated and on the verge of collapse, and the huge monster imprisoned inside could break through the bars at any moment and tear him to pieces.

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying scene from before vanished without a trace. The Heavenly Tyrant suppressed the fear deep within his heart; even with his physical body having reached a level of sainthood unprecedented among other players, he still trembled in fear of those beings from even higher dimensions.

Humans are as insignificant as ants that can be crushed at any moment in their presence.

Tianyu Tyrant raised the [Curse Chaser], its sharp blade pointing at Bai Ge, and said, word by word, "There's absolutely no mistake. Tianyu Curse Chaser has gained an unprecedented sixth sense, and can feel the intense and terrifying aura emanating from you. Although the little girl beside you doesn't seem simple either, you are the most terrifying existence. What's your number? 2? 3? Or the legendary 1?"

"..."

The people in the corridor exchanged glances. John Wick was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Tyrant, who held his knife high above his head and said softly, "We're all in this together now. If you don't want to die..."

"Cough cough."

Assassin John lowered his gun, silently took a step back, stood beside Bai Ge, and explained, "He is my teammate."

"impossible!"

Tianyu Tyrant stared at Bai Ge with an incredulous expression, shaking his head and saying, "I sensed a strong and terrifying power emanating from him."

The little girl holding the picture book kept her head down and didn't say a word the whole time. Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she raised her head and looked at the sky and tyrant in front of her, tilting her head and revealing a light smile.

What was clearly a little girl's innocent and carefree smile, however, evoked a strange and chilling fear in the eyes of the tyrant.

"Finally, only the five of you foreign tourists are left."

The little girl let go, and the sketchbook in her arms fell to the ground. The sketchbook was opened, revealing one of the doodles inside.

The scene shows a little girl in a white dress holding a blood-stained knife, surrounded by gruesome corpses, and behind her stands a grinning black giant.

Scarlett pointed to the sky and the tyrant and said softly, "The others are too fast at eliminating players. I originally planned to leave you for last, since your body is the most suitable vessel I've ever seen among all the intruders."

"you……"

Tianyu Tyrant quickly understood the meaning behind the other party's words, "Were all the clues I found in the Hope House orphanage deliberately set up by you? Was the purpose to make the players kill each other?"

"Normally, there really wouldn't be such an opportunity."

Scarlett's voice is mature and steady, seemingly concealing a shrewd and calculating soul beneath her youthful appearance.

“But if I throw a bunch of scheming, suspicious individuals into an orphanage, and I leave misleading clues everywhere, you'll quickly start killing each other and I can take you down one by one. Even if you deliberately play cat and mouse, we can play along. However…”

The little girl's tone shifted abruptly, and she said coldly, "But I don't have much time left. Don't you want to know what happened at Hope Home Orphanage?"

She placed her hand on her chest, revealing the birthmark number 21 on the back of her hand. She said softly, "Number 1 and number 21 were originally intended as vessels for the Advent of the Virgin Mary, while I was the final choice."

“A strong supernatural force has always existed in Silent Hill. It was first settled by 17th-century British colonists. Later, a mysterious plague caused the deaths of many residents, and Silent Hill was abandoned. During the Civil War, it was used as a prisoner-of-war camp, during which large-scale torture and killing of prisoners of war occurred.”

The little girl spoke calmly, as if she were a witness to history, and continued, "The supernatural power has not disappeared. Although it originally had no distinction between good and evil, through the changes of history and countless hardships, this power has gradually become distorted. The Silent Hill Church first noticed the existence of this power in one of the miner disappearances in 1930. From then on, the Church became obsessed with researching how to control this mysterious and powerful force. To this end, they built the Hope House orphanage in the area where the supernatural power was most concentrated, and kidnapped children from all over the country to become legal orphans in the orphanage through connections with the police and civil affairs bureaus."

"They conducted various abusive experiments on orphans, selecting vessels based on their painful emotions. The supernatural and mysterious forces existing within Silent Hill have become extremely distorted and prone to going out of control due to years of corruption. The Wright brothers you saw earlier were mind monsters that ultimately became because they failed the sacrament test."

"Although I am not a perfect vessel, I am the closest candidate to the right one. After the Church had been searching in vain, it decided to make me the cradle for the descent of the divine. I am both the Virgin Mary, symbolizing 21, and the Holy Infant, symbolizing 0."

"Everything was proceeding according to plan, but the Pentecost ritual was unexpectedly disrupted. The Silent Hill Police Department wasn't a solid unit; after learning of the Church's actions through an informant, the chief immediately organized a raid on the orphanage. The ritual, halfway through, was interrupted, and the supernatural forces went out of control, not only burning down the entire Silent Hill but also creating a replica of another Silent Hill town—the so-called Otherworld. To cover up the scandal, the Church bribed the news and the police to claim the fire was caused by a gas explosion in a coal mine beneath the town. They've been trying to enter Hope House to restart the unfinished ritual. However, the Otherworld is too dangerous, and most of the Church investigators they sent became targets of the evil spirits' killing spree."

Scarlett clapped her hands, and the walls on both sides of the corridor disappeared, revealing a densely packed mass of all kinds of dried corpses, most of whom were unfortunate souls who had perished here due to their boundless curiosity.

After a long, rambling introduction, Tianyu the Tyrant asked warily, "So who exactly are you?"

"Me? I am that out-of-control supernatural force."

The little girl said coldly, "The ancient gods who existed on Earth before anything was born."

Chapter 544 The Old God Nordens

"Aren't you all curious about what the Evolution Game is really after? The game is already in its second half, and I'm sure everyone should have a deeper understanding of the Outer Gods' intentions by now, right?"

Bai Ge and his group remained silent, unable to immediately discern whether the man was lying or telling the truth.

"In every parallel universe, there are barriers that prevent the Outer Gods from intervening in Earth. For millions of years, the Outer Gods, the Great Old Ones, and the higher beings have extended their influence into human civilization through various means. Although the Outer Gods, who are high above, regard humans and the creatures on Earth as nothing more than ants, they are extremely interested in the Great Old Ones who were originally born on Earth and constantly try to project their own shadows into Earth."

The Heavenly Tyrant suddenly remembered a saying: "Those who sleep forever are not necessarily dead; even the spirits who have experienced countless wonders will die."

"The old gods will also perish, and the surviving gods have created the so-called Evolution Game by using the eternal laws of the universe. The Evolution Game was created to select suitable beings from all living beings to become the new old gods."

Scarlett turned her head to look at Bai Ge beside her and said, "The Outer God's avatars, offspring, and reincarnations on Earth are also the power that the Evolution Game wants to obtain, just like the torrential, uncontrollable, nauseating stench emanating from you."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Ge frowned and said, "I think you know a lot about this."

"So you don't understand anything at all."

The little girl sighed deeply and uttered the name, "Lord of Imagination."

For a moment, Bai Ge seemed to feel a strange sensation as if he were being stared at by some being above him, but it was only for a brief instant, and the stare quickly disappeared without a trace.

She turned her head, still wearing that ambiguous smile, and said softly, "The Lord of Imagination is just one of his names. I call him Lawrence the Star Devourer."

"Ironically, isn't it? It was a monster that kept devouring stars, but in the end, it was ostracized by the Outer Gods and banished to the Sea of ​​Star Storms. In the end, it fell into a spiritual entity with its own will. However, I can still feel the last bit of Lawrence's consciousness before his fall from grace in you. It seems that you absorbed the purest part of his will."

Scarlett turned her head, clapped her hands, and the surrounding scene instantly changed to an ancient castle. The fortress stood in the middle of a large expanse of withered branches, and the outer walls were covered with vines. The abandoned manor, left unattended, appeared even more gloomy.

The weather was gloomy, and the distant, dense clouds could be heard rumbling with deep thunder.

Scarlett had somehow gotten into a black dress. She stood in front of floor tiles covered with unidentified symbols, with a complex astronomical instrument, the planetarium, at the very center of the floor.

The bronze planetarium was dilapidated after years of exposure to the elements, covered with a layer of patina.

Strange symbols were engraved on the astronomical instrument. Scarlett reached out and cut her palm, and pure golden blood flowed continuously from the wound.

"The ritual of Pentecost 21 was interrupted, which caused me to be trapped in this mortal body. But now I have found a more perfect vessel."

Scarlett raised her hand and pointed to the pale-faced sky and the tyrant.

"Your body is a symbol of the ultimate evolution of a species, and some things, once they reach their limit, begin to decline. If you want to pursue even more extreme evolution, there is only another path to take."

"Assimilate with the gods."

Scarlett continued to tempt, "Besides, I only have half of my true self trapped in this body right now. If you choose to assimilate, you have a 50% chance of seizing consciousness and gaining the power of a god."

What if I choose to refuse?

Tianyu the Tyrant was no fool; he wouldn't simply merge with the other party based on one side's story. But he also knew very well that the power bestowed by Tianyu the Binding Curse might not pose a threat to the supreme deities.

"You're wrong. I'm not discussing this with you; I'm just informing you."

Scarlett raised her arm, and countless rays of light appeared out of thin air, converging towards her palm to form a fist-sized sphere of light that floated there. Even the surrounding space began to distort.

A fierce wind began to blow around them, withered plant vines were swept directly into the sky by the storm, and even the ancient castle with its brick walls began to gradually break apart, turning into brick after brick.

The background in the distance suddenly shattered into countless spiderweb-like cracks, like a mirror breaking apart, revealing the dark and void world behind the space.

Bai Ge seemed to suddenly realize something, and frowned as he said, "Could it be that the world in which this instance exists is a dream realm?"

"I forgot to tell you my real name. I was once highly worshipped in Celtic mythology, and was equated with Mars, Mercury, Neptune, and Silvanos in Roman mythology. I also share a common origin with Nuada in Irish mythology and Lid in Welsh mythology."

After a brief pause, Scarlett's figure gradually became blurry, like a painting submerged in water, slowly being erased by reality.

Above the clouds in mid-air, the figure of an old man with white hair emerged from the void and appeared before everyone. His body was as huge as a giant mountain. His long white hair flowed freely, and his eyes had no pupils, only a pale white.

Neptune, the sea god wielding a trident, appeared beside the white-haired old man, while playful merfolk blew on their enormous, strange conch shells, producing a terrifying sound.

A strange sea nymph sat atop a giant dolphin, striking the bizarre shells of an unknown creature lurking in a dark underwater cave, producing eerie echoes.

The entire scene was magnificent and bizarre, as if the gods had descended from the sky.

Never before had anyone been so close to a god. Before, they had only encountered clones without any reason or individual consciousness, but this time, a true god had appeared.

Ordinary players could even feel the shock from the depths of their souls. Tianyu Tyrant realized that the god in front of him was invincible, and subconsciously let go of his hand. With a clang, the Curse-Slaying Blade fell to the ground. Although John was not afraid, he silently turned his head and looked at Bai Ge beside him.

When all other tools fail to defeat him, this guy becomes John's last trump card.

Thunder roared in the sky, and the deafening sound echoed through the valley.

That name lingered in everyone's ears for a long time.

"The Old God Nordens".

Chapter 545 Death Meteor

"We can't win, we absolutely can't win."

Even the tyrant, whose confidence had inflated to the point of bursting, felt nothing but fear and despair when facing an unprecedented ancient god. The spiritual pressure he released suppressed all the players present, and even the most outstanding players could not contend with him.
