Players’ NPC daddy

It enters the belly of a snake, the belly of a married woman, and sometimes even the belly of a gourd.

Kulichi's belly is a world of clouds and mist. He has been feeding on clouds and mist for thousands of years, so his stomach is very clean and has no strange smell.

"I can't see the road ahead at all..." Greenland waved his arms vigorously, and the visibility in front of his eyes was successfully upgraded from half a meter to 1 meter. The price was that the Ripper received a fierce elbow hit on the nose.

"Ah—you did it on purpose!"

The Ripper fell to the ground, holding his nose. He was an assassin, not only did he have little blood, but his defense was as fragile as cardboard. Greenland, a cat orc,'s elbow strike directly knocked away one-third of his blood.

"You almost beat me to death!"

"Don't worry!" Greenland picked up the branch wand and said seriously, "I have a skill that can revive dead targets, even strangers."

"Aren't you a death druid? Where did you get the resurrection spell?"

"Actually, it can control the mycelium of the dead... It's similar to resurrection magic."

Compared to Greenland and the Ripper, who were all in a state of disarray, the others were much more normal. Claire waved her fingers and magically created a picture with the thick fog.

It's Blaze and Audrey being affectionate, in werewolf form.

In this ethereal environment, the painting is filled with an epic feeling of the birth of the world and the creation of the first pair of living beings.

"Ah--" Herbie rushed forward and waved his arms vigorously to stir up the clouds.

Fortunately, Marika was now concentrating on keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings and didn't notice Claire's little game.

Claire had obviously misunderstood Herbie, so she immediately made another one, this time using her fingers as chisels and the thick fog as a huge stone to carve out a statue of love.

Only this time it's Blaze and Herbie, only in size they look like the Big Bad Wolf and the little girl.

"is not what it means!"

The most stable people here are undoubtedly the three mature adults both physically and mentally.

The ogre took out the bat monster's head, gnawed it for a while with a horrifying bite, then wiped his bloody mouth and burped.

[Learned: Sound Wave Positioning B/5:00]

An exclusive skill from the Ogre series, granting the ability to devour living creatures. While the duration of this skill shortens as your proficiency and level increase, your proficiency improves accordingly.

"Well, it seems to be a maze around here, but it's not complicated."

Led by a reliable adult, the group made their way through the maze. This process was not easy. Kuliqi had been hungry for thousands of years, and he controlled his desires by relying on his loyalty to his master, but other things in his body did not think so.

【Hungry Soul Eater LV85】

The parasites that inhabited Kulichi's stomach fed on themselves for thousands of years, eventually becoming nothingness monsters whose only remaining impulse was hunger. Having lost their bodies, they now feed on souls.

The ogre, who was positioned as a tank, rushed forward first and punched down, but the attack penetrated the parasite's body, and the ogre's MP suddenly dropped one level.

"They are ghost-type monsters, and their attacks consume our MP. In the worst case, if our MP is completely depleted, we will die instantly."

"So this is what it means to eat the soul." Greenland rubbed his branch wand and began to think of a countermeasure.

Ghost-type monsters are particularly troublesome, as they are immune to physical attacks. More accurately, they are not affected by physical damage, and some spells that summon meteorites or explosions are useless.

To effectively inflict damage, one needed equipment, skills, and attributes related to [Blessing], [Purification], and [Life], such as magic, holy, fire, or water. At first glance, among them, only Marika, who excelled at fire attacks, could deal damage.

However, if you want to save the vengeful spirits, you don't necessarily need completely opposite light attributes.

The vengeful spirits will also fight and devour each other, so all you have to do is become more evil.

Claire/[Faceless] – [Whisper of the Ancient God] directs the target's spirit to the faceless god, possessing an endless array of faces. For a stranger, it's merely a few seconds of kaleidoscopic vision and cacophony of tinnitus, but for the parasite, it's a direct encounter with the indescribable.

That hideous face, distorted by hunger, along with the obsession with existence, was collected into billions of collections.

Jack the Ripper/[Sleepwalker] - [Haunted Streets] creates a moment of death for the enemy it kills. This is merely a harassing skill that creates an illusion and confuses the enemy, but against ghostly enemies, the illusion is the real damage.

Every evil stranger present fully proved one thing: they were not afraid of ghosts because they guaranteed that they were much scarier than ghosts.

Kulichi only felt his stomach churning, as if he had eaten something very unclean.

The deeper they went into the misty maze, the more complex it became, like passing through the stomach and reaching the winding, rugged intestines, with more and more ghostly monsters. But fortunately, the six Greenlanders were quite powerful and handled it calmly. Finally, they reached their destination.

It is a light source like the sun, with the childlike fun of a child's drawing, and full of history like a mural.

The group seemed to have passed through the fog and came to see the sun.

"Is this Kulichi's thing?" Greenland covered his mouth, his face full of disbelief. "We went through the stomach and intestines just for this chrysanthemum in front of us?"

Hebie originally felt that the sun was ancient and great, but after Greenland said that, the more she looked at it, the more it looked like an excretory organ, especially when the sun began to dim its light because of their arrival.

After tightening it, it looks more like it.

Fortunately, Marika was a serious person and was not at all shaken by the words. Perhaps it was because she simply couldn't associate the word "chrysanthemum" with anything else.

"That's not a human being."

"It's definitely not a human. It would be funny if the so-called fourth daughter was Princess Chrysanthemum."

The jokes stopped there, and everyone's expressions were cold, wary of the final boss who might appear at any time, and slowly approached the sun.

As they got closer, everyone gasped.

It was a spear, a spear head plated with gold and covered in vines that seemed to be parasitic on the gold.

Gungnir

[This is a meteor, a lightning bolt, a declaration of the great god's death]

Chapter 362 The One-Eye Arrives

It was truly a spear that was difficult to describe in words. Its presence was not strong, like a branch growing out of the world, standing there naturally.

But everyone who saw it could not help but kneel down before it, because it symbolized God's authority, God's wrath, and death.

The world-class equipment [Gungnir] is just floating there quietly, waiting for someone to wake it up.

"The mission item is the real Gungnir?!" Greenland looked at Gungnir in disbelief, or to be more precise, the gun head wrapped in gold with parasitic plants growing on it.

[Golden Branch of Life - Mistletoe]

Forged from cursed gold, the dwarves used their craft to mock the gods' vain pursuit of eternity. When golden plants sprouted from the blazing furnace, it marked the first act of the dwarves' catastrophic destruction. Born with death, the golden plant destined the death of a god.

There is a way to win called plot killing. Sometimes, players can clearly defeat the final BOSS in the first scene of the plot without any equipment, but at the moment when they are about to chop off the final BOSS's head, the screen suddenly flashes and enters a CG.

The player's hand was chopped off, and finally the boss gave a victory speech.

Or in the final battle, the final BOSS who shouted "power" was immediately killed without any injury, but in order to let the real protagonist of the plot appear, the final BOSS was chopped down with a sword the moment his blood was cleared.

In order for the plot to move forward, victory is necessary, and a 100% victory situation is called a plot kill.

When Gungnir appeared, the only thought that flashed through Greenland's mind was to kill him by the plot. If the Golden Bough of Life was the only thing that could effectively damage the second-generation Cyclops, then when combined with Gungnir, it could directly and unconditionally kill the second-generation Cyclops.

There is no other word to describe this situation except plot killing.

"Is it that simple?"

Greenland summoned a Rotten Elk and brought it close to Gungnir. Unexpectedly, there were no traps or monsters that suddenly appeared; the Rotten Elk simply approached Gungnir.

Even the rotten elk bit Gungnir directly and took it off.

The Rotten Elk, carrying Gungnir, inched closer, but for some reason, no one felt any hope. It was too simple, too easy. From the moment the thought of "picking up this gun, I could easily kill One-Eye" entered their minds, things got weird.

The blessed ones dared not move, but Hebi seemed to be possessed and subconsciously reached out to Gungnir.

"Wait!" Greenland had an ominous premonition. It was like a player who knew that something bad was bound to happen next, but hesitated at the trigger point that would trigger the plot. After a long time, the plot would be forced to proceed.

The trigger for that situation was undoubtedly [someone intended to kill One-Eye and was able to do it]. The entire cloud world, or more precisely, the world inside Kulichi's belly, began to shake violently.

Everyone could clearly see that the water droplets that made up the thick clouds began to turn into dust, and a ray of light appeared in the dark sky.

Greenland reacted instantly, pushed Herbie away, and reached out to grab Gungnir.

Then, in the dark world filled with dust and mist, a flash of lightning squeezed in. It was silent, and the moment everyone saw it, Greenland was like a blasphemous sinner, nailed to the ground by it.

That is [Gungnir], but its quality is [God-level].

The incident happened suddenly, but everyone immediately understood one thing: no matter how many Gungnirs there were in this world, there was only one existence that could throw Gungnir at this point in time.

The Ripper took out a blue cross with a round head from the warehouse and threw it towards Greenland, whose body was gradually turning into dust. The cross floated above Greenland's head, and as the cross collapsed, Greenland opened his eyes.

"What kind of rubbish is this? The World Boss actually uses this trick!"

Gungnir, which runs through Greenland, trembled, as if death was pushed out of the body by the huge life force, and was squeezed out of the body and fell to the ground.

The sky suddenly became clear, and amidst the flying dust symbolizing death, a being riding an eight-legged warhorse stood quietly in front of everyone.

Should I be terrified by the three Gungnirs tied to the back of a being riding an eight-legged warhorse, symbolizing infinity? Or should I be intimidated by the hideous and strange armor covered in stitches?

Or rather, one should be shocked by the name of this existence.

[One-Eyed God LV270]

This is the wise man who knows everything, this is the sage who holds the secrets, this is the god who declares death and war, this is the eternal light.

No, the stranger will only draw his sword and swing it at the great being.

……

For some reason, Blaze felt a kind of palpitation, as if a disaster had struck.

And the Odin that appeared before him was a sign of disaster.

"You're... blocking my way?"

Odin just opened one hand and stopped Blaze.

Blaze's goal was to reunite with Herbie, who was searching for the four daughters and the Golden Bough of Life. Once he reached the next town, he could use the teleportation tower to reach Duhualin City. At his current speed, even running at full speed, with the help of the chicken, it would only take a few hours to reach the summit of Trembling Snow Mountain.

There was nothing that needed to be stopped, unless...

"If you find the Golden Bough of Life, will the Second One-Eye forcibly descend?" Blaze clenched his fists. "You'll use the Golden Bough of Life as bait to lure the Second One-Eye. Then, you'll exploit the Stranger's desire to kill gods and his tenacity to hold him back, causing him to continuously lower his level."

"That all-seeing eye can see the death happening to itself. As long as someone in the future touches something that can kill the second-generation One-Eye, the second-generation One-Eye will be able to know in advance and intervene." Odin raised his finger and tapped his empty right eye. The smile on his face was the same as always, but it revealed a certain cruelty.

The essence of this seemingly kind old man is always the cold-blooded and calculating god. Even if it is the only thing that can harm the second-generation one-eyed man, Odin will not hesitate to use it as a bargaining chip and push it into the gambling game.

"Of course, the second-generation One-Eye will weigh whether it's worth it for him to come. The highest-level dwarf blacksmith who can forge a second [Golden Bough of Life] will count as one, and my fourth daughter..."

"The real Gungnir is the second one."

Chapter 363 Putting Everything on the Gambling Table

For some reason, Blaze wasn't surprised at all when Odin revealed the true identities of his fourth daughter.

Odin, or as Vidoflnir calls him, is a remarkably tenacious god. To put it nicely, he fights against fate, never giving up. To put it bluntly, he's willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his survival and rule.

"I've thought about this for two epochs, and after witnessing many destructions, including that of humans in the Age of Gods, I've come to understand one thing." Odin spread his hands and paced back and forth as if he was suddenly no longer in a hurry to hold Blaze back.

"Fate is a vague and uncertain concept. It becomes clear and definite only when one engages in what is known as the act of resisting fate. The more one resists, the closer one gets to the outcome that fate dictates, thanks to the obstacles encountered at every step."

Seeing that Odin was no longer trying to stop him, Blaze immediately sped up and sprinted away, not wanting to listen to Odin's long speech. Odin didn't chase him, but instead muttered to himself leisurely, his words carried by the wind to Blaze.

"When the second-generation One-Eye was born as a god, he was given eternal hope and the blessing of not being harmed by anything."

"Death is the fate that all life must face, even gods are no exception."

"So, the moment the second-generation One-Eye received the blessing of being invulnerable to anything, he defied the fate of death. This fate was then confirmed, and the birth of the Golden Branch of Life symbolized his destined death."

"But the [Golden Bough of Life] has always only been a symbol of his inevitable death. It never meant that the [Golden Bough of Life] was the thing that pierced his chest and directly took the life of the Second One-Eye."

A teleportation light came from the distant city, and Blaze was already heading to the battle for which he was destined to be late.

Odin put on a wide-brimmed hat as blue as the clear sky at an angle on his head, and his blind right eye was hidden under the brim of the hat.

People have two eyes to see two paths: [Do] and [Don't Do]. Losing one eye means you can only see one choice. The outcome that should be as full of possibilities as a thriving tree is forever halved the moment you lose an eye.

"Thinking about it this way, trading one eye for omniscience is really a losing proposition."

He didn't want to stop Blaze, but he understood fate. He could see different outcomes from each choice. The boy gave up the shortcut and chose the longer route to a more correct path.

But being right often means hardship.

He experienced a long time, witnessed countless destruction, and learned only one thing.

If he didn't want to lose so badly, he would have to bet everything after making his choice. He placed Gungnir and the Bough of Life, the only two weapons he considered to be the key to victory, on the gambling table.

He bet that the boy would win, even if he would lose all his chips first.

And the young man will also lose something.
