It's time to become an evil god.

Nordens spread his hands and said, "Sorry, this is the situation that players of the Evolution game face."

"..."

Boom, boom.

A tremendous rumble of vibration came from overhead, and dust and pebbles fell from the ceiling and walls. Everyone looked into the distance with expressions of astonishment and doubt. Only Nordens sighed silently.

"The Dream Realm can no longer be maintained, and the projection of the Outer God is further strengthening. Now it is your turn to make a choice."

The Evolution Game pointed to the two ancient gods before it and said, "Will you help me kill the ancient gods, obtain their power, and further strengthen the Evolution Game's power, or will you choose to try and stop them, and kill the outer god in the dungeon?"

The fate of humanity's survival rests on the shoulders of a small group of people. The evolution game seems to hand over the choice of humanity's fate to the player hunters, but the human players have no choice at all.

Even Faust, who was never flustered, began to sweat nervously in this situation.

However, one person in the crowd immediately responded.

"I choose……"

Bai Ge raised his hand and said calmly, "Enter the instance and kill the Outer God."

Faced with a player who didn't play by the rules, Nordens remained silent for a moment before snapping, "Would it kill you to choose the first option?"

Chapter 577 Patient Bai Ge, Time to Take Your Medicine

"You went to great lengths to prevent players from making the second choice and stated that only by absorbing the power of the gods could you contend with the Outer Gods. But this is a rule you set yourself: in the Evolution Game, there are no dungeons where you are guaranteed to lose or die. Even in the most unsolvable situation, there is always a chance of survival. This dungeon law cannot be changed even by the gods, can it? As long as we can find that tiny bit of possibility, we can stop the descent of Azathoth and the other Outer Gods."

Nordens' face gradually turned pale, and he finally sighed silently, "You've really figured out how to play this game. But so what? If I don't let you enter the quest instance, you will still have to face the invasion of the Outer God's projection in the end."

"No, we don't need that. After all, you still have an intricate connection with the Dream Realm. If the Dream Realm collapses and remains here, the Great Old Ones sealed by Kambol will be released. Without the source of your savior's power, how can you compete with the Outer Gods and the Great Old Ones? Relying on us, a group of players who have been blacklisted? Or are you planning to invite trouble and bring in the monsters from the Warp?"

Subspace monster?

Two ancient gods. They knew nothing about anything outside the crystal wall system.

Bai Ge sat down on the ground, ignoring the rolling dust and rubble, and adopted a nonchalant attitude, saying, "I want to see if you're more anxious, or if I am."

Huge chunks of rock crashed to the ground, the tremors continuing. Faust and the witch had to erect a protective shield to shield everyone, but if this continued, they feared they would all be buried in the bottomless abyss. Everyone looked anxiously at Bai Ge, but he seemed determined to perish alongside the ancient gods.

The body of the ancient god Nordens fell silent, staring intently at the young man before him, as if he wished he could tear him to pieces. After a few minutes of silence, he slowly spoke, "You will regret this."

He turned back to look at everyone again, his tone filled with resentment, and said, word by word, "You will all regret this."

"But I don't regret it, and I even have some expectations now. If I can outmaneuver the high and mighty Azathoth, even Randolph Carter would probably offer me a cigarette."

At this moment, Bai Ge had already started the final dungeon quest. A complex look of hesitation flashed in everyone's eyes. Without giving others much of a chance to regret it, everyone saw their bodies disappearing bit by bit. At the same time, the cave above their heads was blown open, and countless blood-red eyes stared at everyone present. The next second, the eyes in the sky and everything else disappeared, leaving only a dreamlike realm of devastation and ruins. The world returned to deathly silence.

"Why is even my body..."

Bastet noticed that his body was gradually fading away. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the ancient god Nordens in front of him, but Nordens's lips curled into a strange smile of a scheming maneuver.

"Could it be that he's been acting all along?"

Kambol suddenly realized what was happening and, at the last moment, hurled his spear towards the location of the Old God Nordens. But instead of a proper attack, a loud crash followed, and rubble flew everywhere. Only an empty rock face remained; there was no trace of him. It was as if everything that had just happened was a mere illusion. Kambol had no time to ponder the reason; his body vanished into nothingness, forcibly pulled into the instance's scenario.

[Final Chapter Mission: Banish Azathoth]

The Cost of Failure: The Final Chapter of the World

In the real world, all life has disappeared, and the world seems to remain in the state it was in just before humanity vanished.

The television was filled with the cacophony of commercials, and the soup on the stove was still bubbling away. Yet the streets were deathly silent, devoid of people, and even the chirping of insects and birds had vanished.

All life in the world evaporated instantly, leaving no trace.

……

Bai Ge opened his eyes and was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling.

Where is this?

The first thought that came to his mind was to try to stand up unsteadily and grab the table next to the bed. Almost at the same time, a violent dizziness and emptiness suddenly struck him. Bai felt as if a piece of his head had been forcibly ripped out. He couldn't help but hug his head tightly with both hands and let out a painful howl.

He seemed to be missing a piece of his memory, and even his own identity was becoming blurred.

After a long while, the dizzying sensation gradually subsided, and Bai Ge slowly opened her eyes and looked around.

This is a completely enclosed room.

The room was very small, only about ten square meters. The walls were white and tiled. Bai Ge reached out and touched them, feeling the rough paint and the grainy texture between his fingers.

Above them was the only window in the room, barely bigger than the palm of their hand. Behind them was an iron door with a small rectangular opening at the bottom, just big enough to pass food in.

A simple single bed stood against the wall, its bedding clean and tidy. Opposite the bed was a partition, behind which was a fairly nice-looking toilet.

"It looks like a prison cell."

Bai Ge looked at his clothes and noticed they were all blue and white striped, which puzzled him. Finally, he found a line of small print on his hospital gown.

Xuchang Second Mental Hospital

"Am I mentally ill? No, no, I clearly remember something very important, but why can't I recall it?"

Bai Ge looked up at the ceiling, wanting to explore around for clues, and then was somewhat surprised to find that although the cell didn't even have a light, the whole room was filled with a bright but not glaring light.

The increasingly unusual situation around him alerted him, and in order to recall his lost memories as soon as possible, he began to search for clues he had left behind.

"Remember quickly, that thing that is very important to me."

He kept patting his head, trying to recall his previous memories. Just then, he heard heavy footsteps outside the door, echoing in the quiet corridor.

Bai Ge immediately stopped what he was doing, staring at the door with the vigilance of a wild beast, his intuition telling him that something bad might happen next.

Then he heard the clanging of metal as he took out his keys, and the sound of the key being inserted into the lock and turning the spring. The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and a tall figure in a white coat stood in the gap, his gaze hidden behind the reflective lenses, silently watching him.

He said softly, "Patient Bai Ge, it's time to take your medicine."

Chapter 578 is really too interesting!

"Patient Bai Ge?"

Bai Ge pointed to himself, looked around for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Are you talking to me?"

The doctor in the white coat instantly showed an impatient expression, nodded and said, "That's right, it's you. Behave yourself, turn around and lean against the wall."

"Oh."

Bai Ge obediently complied. Only then did the door fully open, and two burly caregivers, each nearly 1.9 meters tall, entered. They grabbed his shoulders and firmly pinned him to the wall. They then took out a straitjacket and forcibly put it on Bai Ge.

After securing the patient, the doctor slowly walked in. He carried a notebook, his gaze deep as he looked at the patient before him. He introduced himself, "I'm your attending physician, Zhou Mingliang. How are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"

"Is anything better now?"

Bai Ge countered, "Would you believe me if I said I wasn't sick?"

"And what about these things?"

Dr. Zhou took a book out of his pocket and placed it in front of Bai Ge. The cover had eight large characters written on it.

It's time to become an evil god.

Dr. Zhou said calmly, "You previously suffered from delusions, constantly fantasizing that you were the protagonist of this book. After receiving treatment at our hospital for a period of time, your condition not only did not improve, but worsened. We had to take a series of coercive measures against you."

As Bai Ge touched the book, many bizarre and strange images inexplicably flooded his mind, as if he had actually experienced those things before.

"Instances, evolution games, Elder Gods, Outer Gods..."

Bai Ge muttered to herself softly, repeating these familiar words over and over. The doctor noticed that something was wrong with her, handed her the pills and a glass of water, and said, "Take your medicine first."

Bai Ge asked in a low voice, "Wait, what kind of medicine is this?"

Dr. Zhou replied calmly, "Fluoride and aripiprazole are medications used to treat delusions."

Without much thought, Bai opened his mouth and let the doctor insert the pill, followed by half a glass of water. After confirming that the other person had taken the medication, Dr. Zhou instructed the caregiver to remove the restraints and let him out. The three then left the separate psychiatric isolation ward, and as the door slowly closed, everything returned to calm.

Standing there, Bai Ge was still reeling from the shock of what had just happened, carefully considering the doctor's words. For him, who urgently needed to understand the situation, there was both good and bad news.

The good news is that he's not completely insane.

The bad news is that I seem to actually be mentally ill.

Bai Ge stretched and waited until he was sure the doctor had left before sneaking around the door to eavesdrop. He tiptoed to the toilet, squatted down, and used two fingers to forcefully dig them out of his throat.

"vomit…"

Bai Ge suppressed his sobs and desperately vomited up all the pills in his stomach. With his face covered in snot and tears, he hurriedly pressed the flush button on the toilet, flushing all the pills down the drain. After dealing with everything, he began to slowly grope around. He had lost all his previous memories; Bai Ge couldn't even remember anything that happened yesterday. It was as if he had amnesia. He suddenly woke up in a mental hospital.

Judging from the point where his previous memory ended, Brother Bu Bai couldn't even know if it was truly his previous memory. The last image he saw was of an elderly man with white hair and beard, sealed in a wall, giving him instructions. If all of this was a lie, then he was undoubtedly mentally ill.

Bai Ge sat on the edge of the bed, pondering a solution, when suddenly he came up with a terrifying hypothesis.

"Could it be that I've experienced something, something I'm experiencing every day, but for some reason I've forgotten it?"

Thinking of this, Bai Ge immediately began searching. If this theory was correct, he must have left some marks to remind himself of this possibility after discovering it yesterday.

Bai Ge glanced at a corner of the bed sheet, where there were four scratch marks from fingernails.

"Four scratches... wait, does that mean I've been in this ward for four days, and I'm losing my memory of yesterday every day?"

Bai Ge has been here for at least four days, and he still hasn't made any progress in understanding his current situation.

Perhaps there has been progress, but it's just that this progress isn't in my memory.

"If that's the case, I would definitely try my best to leave clues for exploration before I lose my memory, and those clues are in this room."

Bai Ge crouched down under the bed and glanced around. Sure enough, he found three crooked Arabic numerals hastily etched with a metal piece underneath.

12.

According to the signals Bai Ge left a few days ago, he should have been here for at least three days.

As for twelve, Bai Ge's first thought was time.

Bai Ge tentatively assumes that something will happen after midnight, most likely his memories will be erased, and the method of erasing memories may be hypnosis or some kind of electroshock therapy.

Thinking about this, Bai Ge decided to make a bold decision: what would happen if he completely disregarded the other party's demands?

For example... taking a doctor hostage?

Thinking of this, Bai Ge grabbed the metal piece on the ground and forcefully carved four characters under the bed board.

Fifth, taking doctors hostage.

After all that happened last night, Bai Ge closed her eyes, waiting for the door to open again.
