Th-That’s it? It was that simple?
The corpse that had been emitting black smoke seemed to have lost its eerie quality and returned to normal.
The light on the gaming helmet, which indicated that its wearer was still in the game, also dimmed.
Wang Lifeng called Li Weizheng.
Apparently still uneasy, he immediately summoned a fire mage to dispose of Sun Jingya’s corpse in an environmentally safe manner.
Before long, the corpse that represented the Evil God’s Apostle had been reduced to ashes.
Only the gaming helmet remained intact. After a quick wipe, it could still be used.
Once everything was taken care of, Wang Lifeng called Li Weizheng.
“Major Li, I’ve executed Sun Jingya. How are things on your end? Has she logged off?”
Li Weizheng was lying on the ground. His vision had turned black and white, and his character had already died.
Not only that, he had actually been controlled in reverse and turned into a member of the undead army.
Fortunately, his soul remained conscious, so he could still make calls and send private messages.
Before him stood a terrifying, towering figure, roaring again and again.
“My head! How dare you cut off my head!”
“My head is actually moving on its own?”
“Well, this isn’t bad either. Not bad at all.”
Sun Jingya had become a headless knight.
Earlier, while Li Weizheng had been fighting her, he had personally witnessed her head falling off.
He had no idea what had happened, but it was probably Wang Lifeng’s doing.
Wang Lifeng had killed Sun Jingya in the real world.
However, because Sun Jingya had been infused with too much divine power by the Undead Divine Envoy, she had completely mutated within the game.
She was no longer a player.
Instead, she had truly become a BOSS within the game—
the Evil God’s Apostle.
What was more, her separated head and body had actually become two separate BOSSes.
One was a flying head with 300 billion HP.
The other was a headless knight riding a skeletal warhorse, with 800 billion HP.
Compared with before, her strength had increased even further.
“I understand. You’ve done well. Log in now and wait for further orders. Whatever you do, don’t return to Junhun City.”
Wang Lifeng froze.
That sentence sounded strange. If the matter had been resolved, why add the warning not to return to Junhun City?
Something must have happened that they couldn’t deal with.
Wang Lifeng had no time to think it over. He immediately returned to his office and logged into the game.
At that moment, reports were flooding through the guild channel.
That was only possible because the Junhun Guild had such strict discipline. In any other guild, the channel would have been buried under a dense wall of text.
Based on the reports, Wang Lifeng quickly learned what had happened.
Sun Jingya wasn’t dead after all.
She had mutated.
What should they do now?
All the players who had returned to reinforce Junhun City had been controlled and turned into members of the undead army.
Leading them, Sun Jingya had fought her way to the city lord’s residence in Junhun City and was currently destroying the city crystal.
Once the crystal was destroyed, both the guild and the city would disappear.
That would be an unbearable loss for Junhun.
Li Weizheng could do nothing but anxiously await reinforcements.
Especially Chu Fu.
“Sun Jingya’s body has already died, but her head and body have transformed into two separate BOSSes.
“The most terrifying part is that anyone killed by her can’t be revived. Even revival scrolls are useless.
“So bringing more people won’t help. They might simply end up under her control.
“If you get controlled too, I’m afraid we’ll all be finished!
“So get ready before coming over!”
“Understood!”
Chu Fu wasn’t surprised when she heard the news.
In the original storyline, Sun Jingya had indeed become a powerful undead knight.
It was just that she shouldn’t have appeared this early.
But thinking about it carefully, because of the “God-Making Project,” Chu Feng was already level 60.
Everyone’s strength had increased, and the resulting butterfly effect had caused a villain who shouldn’t have appeared yet to make an early entrance.
As for what they were supposed to do about Sun Jingya’s overwhelming strength?
Having one more Sun Jingya would merely delay the undead army’s destruction.
Sun Jingya would never amount to anything.
Furthermore, her appearance would only allow everyone to take their revenge once and for all, bringing an end to the grudges between Chu Feng, Chu Fu, Shen Chi, Xie Lin, and the four major corporations.
Even so, Chu Fu respected Sun Jingya as an opponent.
“Everyone else, continue with your own battles. We’ll handle this one ourselves.”
Only four of them went.
There was no need for more.
If too many people came and died, they would simply become part of the enemy’s summoned army.
“I’m going too. I’m an MT, after all! There’s no way she can kill me instantly!” Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao shouted.
Naturally, she didn’t want to watch her friends risk their lives while she stayed behind.
But Chu Fu shook her head.
If Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao went, Suture Saint would certainly come as well.
Then would the others stay behind?
More and more people would keep joining them.
It was better for no one else to come.
“Don’t worry. We won’t fail.”
Suture Saint said, “If you really do fail, it won’t be long before the rest of us are wiped out too.”
They were genuinely frightened.
However, after improving for so many days, they had no idea how strong Chu Fu and the others had become.
Perhaps this was exactly the moment to put their strength to the test.
The four of them teleported to Junhun City.
By then, Junhun City was in complete ruins, looking like a wasteland. In the distance, they could see Sun Jingya’s enormous figure.
Chu Fu opened her Spirit Plant Pouch.
Countless plants were summoned around her.
In an instant, the area surrounding her transformed into a dense botanical garden.
There were all kinds of plants—hundreds, even thousands of them.
Fusion!
The next moment, Chu Fu transformed into a gigantic plant creature.
Transform again!
[Hulk]
Her body became incredibly tough.
She stood a full fifty meters tall, roughly the same height as Sun Jingya atop her warhorse.
At the same time, Shen Chi recalled all of his mechs.
They might not have any more players to help them.
But they had countless mechs.
A full hundred thousand of them.
Shen Chi looked at the vicious head flying through the sky. It reminded him of that desperate night, when Sun Jingya had been just as arrogant and unrestrained.
“Die!”
Shen Chi let out a furious roar.
Countless mechs charged forward and attached themselves to Sun Jingya’s body.
Then the mechs began to transform, forming a gigantic iron sphere that pressed down on her with tremendous force.
The headless knight was trapped beneath it. Her bones creaked under the pressure, while the health bar above her head rapidly fell.
0.1% per second.
Don’t think that was a small amount.
On the contrary, it represented 800 million damage every second.
At that rate, Sun Jingya could be killed in 1,000 seconds.
“What are you doing to my body? Do you think this can kill me? Hahaha! How ridiculous!”
“You’re nothing but a bunch of filthy peasants, yet you dare provoke me and even try to bankrupt my family!”
“Didn’t I give you money? What more do you want? A bunch of poor wretches should know their place and stay beneath our feet!”
“Who told you to resist? Who told you to resist?!”
Sun Jingya’s enormous head roared furiously. Green flames blazed in her eyes as she aimed at the iron sphere.
With a boom, flames engulfed the sphere.
In an instant, it melted into molten iron, revealing the body of Sun Jingya’s headless knight.
Sun Jingya’s head then turned toward Shen Chi’s mechs.
Those ghostly flames seemed to have a special ability to counter metal.
But in the next moment, an incredibly thick black vine shot toward her.
“Sun Jingya! I’m your opponent!”
Chu Fu’s hands transformed into enormous vines that viciously pierced through Sun Jingya’s head.
