Players’ NPC daddy

Greenland's eyes widened in an instant and his pupils contracted.

"Don't let me encounter any unpleasantness in this place!"

The wand that was supposed to stab the dead fetus turned towards Gaia's palm, knocking Gaia's whipping hand away.

"what."

Greenlander stood there, her words fulfilled, the Ripper's wrath truly catching up to her. Her missed strike gave the dead fetus time to extract the thing from its body.

It was a bolt of lightning.

Zeus Thunderfire

Chapter 456 Even Magic Must Be Physic

It was thunder, a light that could only be described by thunder. The Styx, where even light could sink, was illuminated, and the sound echoed throughout the world, crossing the boundary between life and death.

At the moment when the lightning burst out from the chest of the dead fetus, the dead fetus's arms trembled under the heavy burden as if they could not hold the lightning, and the lightning began to bombard everything around it irregularly.

Greenland, which was closest to the area, retreated and fled the moment the lightning flashed. Even so, there were a few lightning bolts that could not be avoided at all.

Blaze immediately hurled Gungnir forward. The meteor and the lightning collided, each refusing to yield. Eventually, the lightning was deflected, and Gungnir landed on the ground, emitting a cloud of black smoke. A few scattered sparks landed on Greenland, and instantly, the sparks spread throughout his body.

"Destroy the equipment!?" Before being completely swallowed, Greenland stripped off all his equipment in a flash and rolled back to his feet. The only things left standing were the branch wand in his hand and his loincloth.

Greenland didn't have time to feel sad about her equipment being blown up. If it weren't for this set of armor that blocked it for her, she would have been the one burned to ashes.

Of course, she won't die, but she will be sent directly out of the Land of Death due to the effect of the copper coin. This is the most troublesome part of defeating the dead fetus. You only have one chance to challenge it, and if you die, you will be kicked out. You can't use the resurrection props to play the zombie game.

This is a matchup where there can be no mistakes.

Blaze retracted Gungnir. This spear, which looked like just a branch, was not damaged at all even after withstanding the direct attack of thunder and fire. The rising black smoke seemed to have washed away the dust that had accumulated on its body for countless years.

Compared to Gungnir, the state of the dead fetus is a little bit wrong.

The dead fetus that was pulled out of the thunder and fire seemed to be in great pain, with its arms stiffly kept in a raised position. The thunder and fire were bombarding the surroundings while also constantly carbonizing the dead fetus's body.

"Hey, this guy's going to die soon."

Blaze waved Gungnir a few times, his gaze fixed on Gaia's face.

He had never seen a face so brimming with maternal beauty. Kindness, severity, and so on formed every part of her features, as if even the humblest ants could receive her love. But under the lightning shining on the dead fetus, this maternal face was filled with paleness and mournful pain, looking extremely terrifying.

[He will not die. He is the King of Evil that I cultivated. I have paved all the way for him!]

Move, my son!

As Gaia scolded him, the dead fetus began to move, like a statue being forced to change its movements. Simply by raising its body, cracks appeared all over the dead fetus's body, and within those cracks flowed a scorching light.

Light instantly enveloped the dead fetus, outlining a vague human form. The moment the human form was complete, the raging thunder fell silent, condensing into a Z-shaped weapon in Typhon's hand.

That is the simplest depiction of lightning in the world.

"Very good, my son, you have taken away the power of the blasphemer. The veins of Zeus will grant you great power, and even the thunderbolt shall belong to you!"

Gaia opened her arms with great pride, as if to show the power of the stillborn fetus to the three people in front of her.

But whether it was Blaze, Greenland or the little angel, they could all see the changes in the life value of the dead fetus. Gaia seemed to be completely unable to see that the dead fetus was constantly losing life value because of executing her orders.

Activating the golden veins didn't alleviate the damage from the lightning and fire; instead, it caused a periodic loss of health. If it weren't for the stillborn fetus's extraordinary vitality, it would have self-destructed in no time.

Blaze took a step forward and rushed towards the dead fetus like an arrow. Although he came here to defeat the dead fetus, he had never thought of taking advantage of this.

[How ridiculous! How dare you set foot in front of God!]

Gaia grasped the dead fetus's head with one hand, pulling its hair like the reins of a mount. The fetus moved obediently, raising the Thunderfire. With just this simple movement, the dark world of death seemed to crack and burst into light.

Such majesty makes people feel fear.

The dead fetus gently waved the thunder and fire, and a thunder like a giant dragon roared over.

"No matter how scary it is, it's just a lightning attack." The little angel opened his left hand, and a summoning pattern appeared behind him. Dozens of steel swords were spit out from it and stabbed around.

The ferocious thunder dragon's movements stopped for a moment, and small electric currents were constantly drawn from its huge body and rushed towards the surrounding steel swords.

Of all the attributes, the most destructive would be Thunder. This is because Thunder combines the speed of Light, the heat of Fire, and even a touch of Holy, making it both powerful and versatile.

The most popular feature was undoubtedly the tracking lock and the chance of armor penetration, which were initially thought to be bugs. It was later discovered that the tracking lock was because the lightning attribute was induced by metal weapons and armor, and the armor penetration was similarly affected.

At first, the players were puzzled as to why there was a layer of leather inside the armor, and they stubbornly said that it was not necessary. Later, after being electrocuted several times, they became obedient.

After discovering the secrets of the Lightning attribute, players gained a lot of useful information. For example, lightning-attribute attacks are affected by the scattered Lightning Rods, slowing down their speed, reducing their power, and reducing their range.

It is a must for advanced players to always carry some unused long-handled weapons specifically used to interfere with lightning attacks.

The Thunder Dragon, once capable of sweeping across space in an instant, slowed down under the pull of dozens of surrounding steel swords, its massive form shrinking. But true to the Thunder Fire, a force not even a stillborn fetus could fully control, the scattered electric current instantly destroyed the pulling steel swords.

Seeing this, Blazer grabbed a handful of steel bristles from the warehouse and threw them out. Although these were hairs that fell from living organisms, they were metal in nature, and he had as many steel bristles as he wanted.

The Thunder Dragon's movements came to a complete halt, and Blaze immediately raised the [Misttin] in his hand and aimed it at the connection between Gaia and the dead fetus.

Greenland once said a universal strategy: key monsters have certain "weak points." The point where Gaia and the dead fetus connect is clearly a weak point.

[Misttin Hunting] Rapid fire, a flash of white light, leaving a charred hole on Gaia's arm.

"That's the weakness!"

Blaze fired as he approached, constantly throwing out steel bristles to pierce the surroundings, continuously interfering with the power of thunder and fire. The little angel followed behind Blaze, looking for an opportunity to cut off the connection between Gaia and the dead fetus.

Greenland stood there without moving, his eyes never leaving the face of the dead fetus, which was being dragged around by Gaia but showed no resistance at all.

Chapter 457 The Only Child I Don’t Love

Greenland couldn't take her eyes off the silent dead fetus. It was all because of the Ripper's bad mouth. She subconsciously began to reflect the story of the dead fetus on the scars of her past.

Gaia pulled the dead fetus' hair hard. The relationship between them as mother and son was like that of the mouse and the unlucky apprentice in "Ratatouille", using hair pulling to establish a "heart-to-heart" connection.

But having your hair pulled really hurts.

Gaia's powerful thunder and fire were disturbed by a few hairs, and she began to scream madly, and the dead fetus also shook the thunder and fire randomly.

Thunder mercilessly shattered this land of death, splitting the Styx. Meanwhile, Greenland advanced slowly, taking cat steps. When the thunder struck, he casually waved his wand, and the dry branches easily deflected the powerful thunder.

As long as the weapon can withstand it, [Parry] is a magical skill that can counterattack everything.

Blaze and Angel both had [Parade], but neither dared to use it in this situation. Greenland wasn't being daring, he was simply entering a cooldown state, the complete opposite of a frenzied state.

She stared at the dead fetus's face and muttered what Gaia would say next.

"Mom, you're all I have..."

[You are my last son, my last support, so hurry up and move! Crush these ants quickly!]

"I have paid so much to raise you..."

[In order to give birth to you, I used this broken body to suffer humiliation in the nameless hell, so do not be afraid of the pain of thunder and fire!]

"It's really based on reality..." Greenland slumped his shoulders in frustration, then shouted weakly, "Be careful, the next attacks will become more intense."

Before Greenland finished speaking, the dead fetus moved under Gaia's angry rebuke, waving the thunder and fire in his hand with all his strength, and the thunder poured down.

Fortunately, Blaze and the little angel distanced themselves as soon as they heard Greenland's words, and the dead fetus's large-scale attacks all failed.

"How did you know?"

"...Usually, I will push myself in this situation." Greenland didn't have much mood to talk nonsense, and pounced on the moment Thunder weakened.

"Honestly, I'm someone who never forgets my original aspirations. I came to this fantasy world because I hate reality, but isn't it a bit too much to ask me to witness this kind of thing in this place?"

Greenland aimed all her attacks at Gaia, unleashing a ferocious barrage of blows as if unaware of her lack of health bar indicator. The first strike knocked Gaia's hand, which was clutching the dead fetus's hair, away, and the second pierced Gaia's throat.

"You, don't impose on your children what you can't do yourself. Your next line is, outsiders, don't interfere in our family affairs!"

[A mere speck of dust also wants to—]

While Greenland's prediction wasn't entirely successful, judging by Gaia's stunned expression, it was pretty close. As if anticipating this, Greenland flipped back and placed his hand on Blaze's shoulder. Blaze, with his immense strength, clamped down on the dead fetus's arm, which was swinging towards him with lightning and fire, while Greenland kicked Gaia in the face.

"So you've never thought about what your son wants, right?"

[What does he want? I gave him the most perfect future. He will become a great god and the ruler of this world! What else could he want?!]

The dead fetus raised his head and found that Greenland was looking at him. He quietly withdrew his gaze and silently forced his body to wrestle with Blaze under his mother's command.

Surprisingly, even with his unfinished body he should have been a giant, but the tiny human actually pried his hands open bit by bit.

"Hey! Don't you have anything to say? There's a girl standing up for you." Blaze poked his head towards the dead fetus and asked provocatively in the posture of a werewolf. "You look like you really want to say something. Aren't you the King of Evil? Is there anything in this world that can stop you from saying what you want to say?"

The word "mother" stirred a wave of agitation within Blaze, and it was definitely not a pleasant emotion. Most of it came from the Black Beast Knight, but some also came from himself.

"It is a virtue to keep quiet, obey, and respond to one's mother's love."

The dead fetus's voice rose a little, and it swung its tail towards Blaze. A pitch-black wolf claw stepped down, firmly stopping the snake's tail. The huge black shadow werewolf spun sideways and punched the dead fetus in the face.

"What love..." Greenland chuckled. She knew all the stories.

A mother named Gaia was heartbroken because her children were persecuted and exiled, and she vowed to do whatever it takes to save her children from the depths of hell.

The being named Typhon has been nothing more than a tool for revenge since its birth. She longs for her expelled children to return to this bright world and regain the throne of honor, but she whispers in Typhon's ear to become the king of evil and promises a turbid world to Typhon.

Gaia undoubtedly loves all the children she gave birth to, but the only person she doesn't love is Typhon.

And no one knows this better than Typhon himself.

The maternal love that Typhon could feel was the shadow left by the light of Gaia's love for her other children. Even so, at Gaia's urging, Typhon kept shuttling between life and death, fighting constantly, and enduring pain constantly.

"If you really want to protect your mother, leave her as soon as possible."

Greenland shook the magic wand in his hand and exchanged positions with the little angel who had completed the chopping action. The indestructible flaming sword fell straight to the connection between Gaia and the dead fetus.

【No--】

Gaia screamed in terror, and the dead fetus reached out his hand to block the flaming sword the instant he heard it. His flesh was easily cut open, but the veins within his flesh, like lightning, caught the flaming sword, preventing it from descending.

"You are so stubborn!"

Blaze used all his strength to control the dead fetus's hand that was holding Thunderfire, but the dead fetus didn't care at all. He only used his body to withstand the damage and resist the attack that tried to separate him and Gaia.

"You are so powerful, but you still crave your mother's embrace?" Blaze didn't know why he wanted to separate Gaia and the dead fetus. Maybe it was because it seemed like he could win by doing so, or maybe it was because Gaia was dominating the dead fetus, and he couldn't bear it.

"No, he's not greedy at all." Greenland, as if seeing through everything, lowered his eyes and whispered sadly, "He can survive alone, but Gaia can no longer live without him. He is the reason why Gaia will not collapse, so he will never leave Gaia."

"Even though he knew Gaia wouldn't love him, this guy still loved his mother."

Chapter 458 The boy carrying his mother

The Age of Gods was incredibly beautiful, the sky was blue, and the clouds were like white flowers.

This was the world his mother had described for his brothers, but what she had described to him was darkness and chaos. Because he had been born in Hell, listening to his mother curse the gods, this was the only world he would ever know.

He... knew very early on that his mother didn't love him, and all her words, except for her love for his brothers, were lies.

Promising him a chaotic world was false, because his mother hoped that the brothers she gave birth to would find their bright identities and return to that beautiful world.

What mother would want her child to live in a world of disorder, darkness, and nothing but chaos?

So if he reclaimed the world for his mother and liberated his brothers, then the cage they had been imprisoned in would be reserved for him. He had no objection to this inevitable outcome.

He was born in such a place, so even if he continued to live in such a place, there would be no problem. Even if he knew how bright the world above was, he would not be greedy for it, because he was the King of Evil born under a curse, and the place he lived in would only be hell.

How could you mess up the place where your mother and brothers live?

Mother said that because the original gods were imprisoned, the world had become extremely bad due to the rule of those traitors, full of blood and chaos, and her return with her brothers would restore all order to the world.

Then the world will definitely become a better place.

That would be a good ending, he would become his mother's good son, and his mother would live happily with her brothers in the world above. He would be satisfied if he could hear the dead who lost their way and came to his cage and expressed their longing for the world above.

The beauty in words will be his comfort.

So even though he knew that his mother was half crazy and half stupid, he would still carry half of his mother's body on his back, listen to his mother's words about her love for other brothers wandering on the boundary between life and death, and try again and again to be born.

He believed that he was born to bring happiness to all living things on earth.

……

Greenland thrust her branch wand into the junction between Gaia and the stillborn fetus. This attack, which lacked a severing effect, received no attention. It seemed as if Greenland was doing something in vain, but she was destined to receive no response.

Gaia looked madly at the other side of the Styx, urging the dead fetus to move. The dead fetus endured the constant rejection of the tendons in its body and moved its steps with difficulty.

Blaze's feet plowed deep grooves into the ground. He could hold the dead fetus's arms, but he couldn't stop it from moving forward. This guy's heart had long been hardened by the tempering of countless years, and even though his body kept collapsing, it didn't fade.

Blaze suddenly felt dazed. He saw the stillborn fetus's face, a delicate, childish face, cracking. He wondered if the guy who had stood before him would also have felt this absurd after seeing him desperately moving forward.
