It's time to become an evil god.

The carriage is only meant for six people, but it feels like it's overcrowded...

After getting on the bus, Section Chief Xing finally had time to explain the ins and outs of the incident to Bai Ge. "We had previously discovered that strange events were occurring frequently in Xu City, but after further investigation, we realized that someone was behind all the strange events, and that they were connected to the Yaotai Town incident and the Gates of Hell that the Special Affairs Bureau had unearthed."

"and then?"

"Then, after a large-scale search, we discovered that these people not only kept their tracks hidden, but also used some tools and methods that made it impossible for the Special Affairs Bureau to investigate. However, we still managed to find them today. But at the same time, the Gates of Hell also began to become restless. Then, just like the message you received from the witch, the Choir created artificial inferior ancient gods."

Boom!

The bus paused for a moment, as if it were stuck by something and couldn't move forward.

Realizing something was wrong, everyone turned around and saw a giant, mechanical puppet-like monster appear behind them. It reached out and grabbed the bus in front of it, trying to grab the living people inside.

The puppet blinked its eerie eyes, its huge fingers gripping the roof of the carriage, attempting to tear open and overturn the bus. However, in the next moment, Bai Ge rushed forward, throwing the ancient relic, the Holy Spear, directly into his hand. In the next instant, he flashed in front of the mechanical puppet, lightly waving his sword, which drew an arc and slashed down.

Click.

The Demon King's bone hammer, which possessed a 100% critical strike attribute against demons, struck down, and the puppet instantly disintegrated and scattered on the ground.

Bai Ge froze for a moment, staring at the blade in his hand in disbelief. After a brief moment of thought, he grabbed the Holy Lance and threw it in the direction the deformed, giant infant was heading. In the next instant, Bai Ge flashed in front of the giant infant. Just as he was about to attack, a monster draped in a black cloak appeared before him, its sharp blades slicing down on Bai Ge.

The other party stood still without any reaction, as if the attack had been ineffective.

After a brief pause, Bai Ge tentatively asked, "Is your attack over?"

Bai Ge wore an expression that resembled the puzzled and disappointed look on Teacher Qunyu's face.

"That's all?"

"Please, you're so weak."

Chapter 140 Power Bonds!

The remaining three players watched in horror as Bai Ge calmly withstood a fatal blow without a scratch, and one sentence simultaneously popped into their minds.

"Damn it, he got away with it again!"

The attack just now seemed to have no effect on Bai Ge, as if it were just scratching an itch through a boot. Most of the attack was absorbed by the wriggling, incomplete ancient god umbilical cord inside his body, as if the opponent had sensed a delicious feast.

The witch and her two companions saw that Bai Ge's clothes bulged on the back. He was hunched over and had his head down, revealing thick, writhing, snake-like marks on his back, as if endless tentacles and giant pythons were hidden beneath!

"Wow ~ wow ~ wow ~"

The baby's cries grew more urgent, and the music box's wind-up notes gradually faded. As if sensing something more terrifying was approaching, a low, nightmarish whisper, like the murmur of a deep sleep, rose up, creating a stark contrast with the baby's cries.

In the next instant, the power that had been devoured and accumulated by the broken ancient god's umbilical cord burst forth, and countless black lines tightly and firmly wrapped around the black-robed kin who were acting as healers and protectors in front of them.

Upon unleashing all his power for the first time, Bai Ge's mind was filled with countless bizarre and strange images: a huge black shadow hidden within a massive thunderstorm cloud, its strange structure barely visible amidst the lightning and fire; eerie creatures lurking in the abyss, constantly writhing yet unpredictable in shape; and the cacophony of thousands of babies crying, crashing against the depths of Bai Ge's mind like endless waves.

Blood kept seeping from his nostrils, ears, and eyes. Unable to withstand the pressure on his mind from the umbilical cord, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Only the head remained, barely maintaining the sanity of a living person, while the umbilical cord swept wildly towards the familiars and the giant baby monster behind them.

A complex emotion flashed through everyone's minds. The inferior replica of the Ancient God, which no player could stop, was actually blocked by a player who was not even LV10.

The umbilical cord greedily devoured the power within the giant infant, and the divinity contained within it seemed to be awakening. Bai Ge was gradually losing control, and the damaged umbilical cord was also gradually recovering a small portion.

The giant baby instinctively tried to move closer to its kin, desperately reaching out to touch the only thing that wouldn't harm it. But Nishizawa Ryo, supported by the chainsaw man, didn't give it that chance. He directly used his last trump card from his inventory.

Countless dazzling beams of light pierced through the dark clouds, illuminating behind Xize Liang. The earth trembled and rumbled as a colossal three-headed dragon, large enough to blot out the sky, appeared behind him, its emanating electronic power creating an overwhelming sense of oppression. Although inferior imitations of ancient gods would eventually possess such power, it was an insurmountable chasm for the currently weak, reborn ancient god.

cough cough cough.

Xi Zeliang knelt on the ground, wiping away the black gasoline seeping from the corner of his mouth, his gaze gradually turning cold.

"Wait a minute, Ryo Nishizawa, you'll die if you do that!"

The witch tried to stop him, shouting, "You don't need to do this!"

"I might die."

Nishizawa Ryo clutched his aching chest, slowly raised his hand, pointed at the other person, and said, word by word, "But it doesn't have a next round!"

"Go to hell!"

The three-headed steel dragon unleashed a dazzling beam of light and shockwave, sweeping directly towards the immobilized and defenseless black familiar. Before the fierce evolutionary shockwave, the sharp bone blades were utterly insignificant.

Dust and smoke billowed up from the ground, obscuring the situation on the street. After delivering its final blow, the steel dragon vanished into thin air.

As if his life had come to an end, Nishizawa Ryo collapsed to the ground.

After the dust settled, the kin wielding the half-bone knife lost half of his body. His charred body instantly disintegrated, except for a phantom image of a terrifying monster in the shape of a womb-like infant curled up in the lower abdomen, slowly dissipating into the dust, unwillingly melting away.

Along with the Familia, the clear, wind-up music from the music box also disappeared. Moreover, without the Familia's protection, the infant, who was already able to walk on two legs, collapsed again. At this moment, everyone felt that the inexplicably terrifying oppressive feeling on the giant infant had disappeared, as if the infant was now just an empty shell with its soul emptied.

Its power is fading!

The chainsaw-wielding man struggled to his feet and said, "Quick, kill him now!"

"No need for you to do it, I'll do it myself."

Ryo Nishizawa's final blow also saved Hakuka's consciousness from collapse. At this moment, he felt the umbilical cord in his body becoming more and more complete after absorbing the power of the Familia.

It's like it's constantly growing and evolving.

Having gained newfound power, Bai Ge casually extended his hand, his gaze fixed on the slightly frightened infant before him, and asked, "Do you also want to dance?"

In the next instant, the giant baby's joints seemed to be controlled by an unseen force, and began to twist and turn. Its two arms, which were made up of rotting torso, were raised high above its head, with its wrists side by side, and its hands began to swing and twist.

The remaining players were completely dumbfounded. What was going on? The ancient god was making a fancy hand gesture?

The chainsaw-wielding man turned around, dumbfounded, and asked the witch beside him, who was holding her forehead and didn't want to speak, tentatively, "Is this the legendary thing where even the most ferocious ancient god starts singing and dancing when your strength surpasses your opponent's?"

"..."

On the other side of the city, after all the inferior ancient gods created by the players descended upon Xu City, they rushed madly in that direction. Everyone knew that once the ancient gods fully descended into the real world, it might be a repeat of the Dunwich Sentinel Hill terror incident.

The few remaining staff guarding the gates of hell, despite having been upgraded to the highest level and even having players transferred from other cities, are still far from sufficient.

"The streets are so quiet, there's hardly anyone around."

One of them remarked with a sigh, "Have all the other players been moved to the city center?"

"Yes."

Someone looked at the door behind them, which was shrouded in a barrier, and echoed, "I really hope this ends soon. My fiancée is waiting for me to come back and get married."

"What a coincidence?"

Another person said with delight, "My wife just gave birth to our son and is urging me to go back soon."

Snapped.

The two men were slapped hard on the head by a middle-aged man with a stern face behind them. He said coldly, "Why aren't you two on guard duty at night? Are you trying to set up flags for me? Can't you see yourselves covered in flags like old generals on a stage?"

The two were immediately too frightened to speak and stood obediently at their feet.

After the initial attack, Yaotai Town was reduced to a terrifying ruin, filled with the stench of death. Previously, when manpower was insufficient, players frequently disappeared in the middle of the night, only to be found with severed limbs and remains. Search efforts were organized in the vicinity, but nothing was found.

"That's not right."

One of the players frowned and pointed straight ahead, saying, "Didn't that team just leave not long ago? Why are they back?"

The other two looked in the direction he was pointing and could vaguely see the outline of a tall, thin figure approaching the camp. The person walked with a swaying gait, as if he was about to fall at any moment, and it seemed that his other hand was dragging some strange heavy object.

A low, nightmarish weeping sound echoed in the deep darkness of the night.

Just as the three were about to greet each other, they suddenly received a message sent by a senior executive through the system.

"Urgent announcement! Attention all official players!"

"We discovered the unidentified, enormous, half-human, half-fish-like marine creature's corpse on the banks of the Han River! Its abdomen was cut open, leading to the suspicion that a second artificial, inferior ancient god exists!"

Chapter 141 I Want to Know the Truth

The icy rain poured down, relentlessly pounding the damp grass on the riverbank. The crowd stared silently at the enormous, half-human, half-fish-shaped corpse that had been pulled from the center of the river. Its pale, turbid vitreous eyes stared blankly at the sky, and green flies buzzed around it.

Two fishermen with gloomy faces squatted obediently on the ground. They had heard that people in the Han River often saw large grass carp, and they had come eagerly to try their luck. If they couldn't catch a big fish, they would at least catch some small whitebait, and if that wasn't possible, they would catch tadpoles. Who knew they would hook such a terrifying, ghostly creature? And according to the staff member earlier, it seemed to be something from an ancient god. They had seen plenty of fishermen catch corpses, but catching something from an ancient god—wouldn't they take a picture, post it on a forum, and brag about it?

The crowd stared silently at the monster before them, its belly ripped open. It seemed as if a giant knife had been used to slice open the monster's abdomen and roughly drag out its contents. They had no idea what was emerging from the half-human, half-fish monster's belly, only seeing a series of footprints emerging from the muddy bank, heading towards Yaotai Town.

The pale-faced crowd all had an ominous thought in their minds: a feint attack.

They immediately notified the players rushing to provide support to abandon the inferior replicas of the Ancient Gods and return to the Gates of Hell. However, something that sent a chill down the spines of the Special Affairs Bureau still happened.

They lost all contact with Yaotai Town; the signal seemed to be blocked, and text messages sent through the system went unanswered, as if all the remaining players had vanished into thin air in an instant.

At this moment, Yaotai Town was shrouded in a thick, dark fog. The players trapped inside were running around like headless flies, not yet understanding what was happening. From time to time, shrill explosions and screams could be heard from within the fog, and one after another, the players on the communicators disappeared without a trace.

Four crystal walls stood around the gates of hell, forming a ring around them. Faced with the unknown gates, and considering the stakes involved, the Special Affairs Bureau decided to take a prudent approach and control the gates.

The guards stood with their arms crossed, coldly surveying the scene before them.

Although screams echoed continuously from within the thick fog, he dared not take a single step forward. If the gates of hell were breached, the entire city of Xu would be doomed.

Then he saw a tall, thin figure staggering toward the gates of hell, one hand seemingly dragging something heavy, making his movements exceptionally slow.

"Stop!"

The gatekeeper gave a stern shout, but the man continued to stagger forward, bending his neck and covering his face with his hands as he sobbed, showing no intention of stopping.

"This is outrageous!"

The gatekeeper's lips twitched, and with a loud shout, his clothes instantly burst open, revealing a strong, muscular physique covered in numerous scars. An indestructible protective aura enveloped his entire body, and he coldly said, "You dare to come up here when you see me! You clearly don't take me, Wen Tailai, the Thunder Hand, seriously!"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt as if he had lost all feeling in his buttocks. He looked up and saw that half of his buttocks was hanging high up in the tree.
