The other evil gods had also arrived, but they all frowned deeply.
At that moment, the Undead Reaper looked like a gambler who had lost everything and was preparing to make one final, desperate wager.
This was a game of chess. Humanity had built up far too great an advantage in the early stages, making it increasingly difficult for the evil gods who appeared later to turn the tide.
Yet anyone could see it.
If things continued this way, the advantage humanity had built would become unimaginably overwhelming.
“You’d better think this through. If you lose this time, you may very well exhaust your divine power—or even expose your trail.
“On top of that, you might end up giving the other side another fragment of divine power for free.”
The God of Death’s gaze was vicious.
“There’s no other choice!”
If only he had kept an eye on this place from the beginning. Who could have imagined that the “God-Making Project,” which had failed in the first two rounds, would actually succeed in the hands of Long Zhantian?
He had arrived too late.
Still, 90% of his divine power remained. If he had infused it into a new divine emissary earlier, he might have stopped the enemy long ago.
However, activating the rules when there was no siege battle required him to pay a much higher price.
Perhaps this was simply that damnable thing called fate.
The Undead Reaper stopped dwelling on it and immediately activated the hidden move he had planted inside the Primordial Gate.
A supervirus that had been cultivated long ago.
…
Outside War-Soul City.
Inside a mine, Sun Jingya was digging when she suddenly sensed an incomparably familiar call.
“My devout follower, from this day onward, you will become a divine apostle and gain unparalleled power. Go forth. Return to the embrace of the Reaper, listen to the Reaper’s will, and kill those humans who show disrespect toward death.”
Boom!
In an instant, Sun Jingya felt it.
Countless necromancers, Lich Kings, and divine emissaries from the army of the dead turned to ash and merged into her body.
She absorbed an endless amount of deathly power, and terrifying black light erupted from her entire body.
Her health rose from several hundred to several hundred billion.
And it continued to increase.
In an instant, she comprehended countless skills.
She had become terrifyingly powerful.
A line of dark-red writing appeared before her eyes.
[Kill WhoWantsToBeAVegetable. Annihilate everyone in the Thorny Rose Guild.]
Sun Jingya’s entire body trembled.
She was both excited and afraid.
“God of the Undead, thank you. Thank you for giving me this power. But my body is still in prison. They’ll make me log out.”
The red letters appeared once again.
[Don’t worry. You will not die. In truth, death is your power!]
Sun Jingya only saw the first part of the message, and her heart immediately settled.
She understood. Since she had been summoned by the evil god, she would not die.
Moreover, she was now level 80.
As for those people from WhoWantsToBeAVegetable’s group—WhoWantsToBeAVegetable was only level 54 on the rankings, while Lu Xing was level 60.
Neither of them was any match for her.
And since she had reached such a high level, why shouldn’t she withdraw her power?
She immediately chose to cash out. Since she had joined the evil god’s faction, the power she withdrew did not come from the Primordial Gate.
The crimson letters appeared:
[Withdrawal successful.]
This meant that she possessed terrifying power in the real world as well.
Once she completed the evil god’s mission, she would immediately escape the game and break out of prison.
Sun Jingya no longer hesitated. With a casual gesture, she summoned a skeletal warhorse.
As a divine apostle, she also possessed her own class. She was now an undead knight.
With another wave of her hand, countless bones appeared and enveloped her entire body. A long bone spear materialized in her grasp.
As a top heiress from a wealthy family, she had been riding horses since childhood, so she handled the mount with exceptional skill.
She galloped wildly through the mine. Everywhere she passed, players were killed by the aura of death.
After leaving the mine, her body grew larger and larger.
She transformed into a twenty-meter-tall giant.
She happened to pass by War-Soul City.
Since she was already here, she might as well finish what she had started.
Those people had once treated her like an ant, crushing her casually and repeatedly tormenting her. They had even used her as one of the many heads displayed on the masks of their impersonators.
Now, it was her turn to strike back!
The skeletal warhorse suddenly leaped, clearing the walls of War-Soul City in a single bound.
“Enemy attack!”
The NPCs of War-Soul City roared in alarm.
Only novice players remained in the city. The high-level players had all gone to support other locations. When they saw the terrifying, twenty-meter-tall monster, they immediately screamed.
At the same time, Laoji Fuli and Li Weizheng both received a system notification.
[System Notification: The War-Soul City under your management is under attack by an undead divine emissary. Return immediately.]
“What happened?”
The two men had no time to think. They abandoned their support of the other cities and crushed their Return Scrolls.
The players of the War-Soul Guild also all returned.
Then they saw the terrifying undead knight.
[Undead Apostle: Sun Jingya 014729
Level: 80
Health: 876 billion]
Wale only had 100 billion soul power.
That was eight times less than hers.
And what was with that name?
By now, however, they had gained a thorough understanding of the game.
Li Weizheng quickly realized that Sun Jingya had probably done what those players who joined the werewolf faction had done. She had joined the faction of the Undead Reaper and finally betrayed them at this crucial moment, gaining power in order to wreak havoc.
This was the Undead Reaper’s method.
But they had certainly never expected that she was a player.
And not just any player—a criminal.
Moreover, she was an enemy of Chu Fu.
Li Weizheng immediately made a phone call.
“Wang Lifeng, the Sun Jingya I asked you to watch over has sided with an evil god in the game. She’s destroying War-Soul City right now. Find her immediately and execute her!”
“What? Yes, Major Li! I’m on my way.”
Wang Lifeng was the officer supervising Sun Jingya.
He never would have imagined that such a major incident would occur right under his nose.
Sun Jingya had not only become a terrifying divine emissary—she had even gone on to attack War-Soul City.
She deserved to die.
He immediately logged out. As soon as the game pod opened, his body burst forth with astonishing speed, and he arrived at Sun Jingya’s location.
She and many other criminals were lying on small beds in the workshop, wearing helmets and immersed in the game.
Wang Lifeng said nothing. An iron chain appeared in his hand.
One end of the chain resembled a spiked mace, a metal ball covered in sharp spikes. The other end was shaped like a spear.
Class: Warden!
Gripping the special weapon, he showed no hesitation and thrust the spear straight toward Sun Jingya’s heart.
In an instant, a splash of scarlet blood erupted.
Sun Jingya did not even make a sound.
Instead, blackness began spreading across her entire body.
She had withdrawn her power as well.
Wang Lifeng’s expression changed drastically. If Sun Jingya had also brought the power from the game into the real world, then who could stop her?
Most importantly, with attributes that terrifying, she might be capable of destroying their entire city.
They absolutely could not let her succeed.
Wang Lifeng hardened his resolve. He switched the weapon to a massive blade and brought it down viciously toward Sun Jingya’s neck.
Slash!
Her head, along with the game helmet, fell to the ground.
