The power of calamity.
Without a doubt, in terms of the specifications of a godhead, this power was truly unique. Among her current abilities, the power of calamity was the only one that could not be enhanced through any means.
The power of poison could absorb toxins and accumulate them continuously. Chu Fu felt that if all of humanity offered toxins to her, they might even be able to nurture her into a god of their own.
The same applied to the power of wood.
As for the power of contracts, it could be enhanced by contracting with more and more plant spirits.
Only the power of calamity was different. Although it had originally evolved from the Poison God’s power, everything that followed was completely different.
That was why Chu Fu chose it.
At present, she had six blank divine-power fragments. If she were a little more greedy, she could preserve all four divine powers.
But she knew that such greed might ultimately result in accomplishing nothing.
So Chu Fu chose the power of calamity without hesitation.
Next, Chu Fu selected the attributes of four divine-power fragments in succession, then kept one blank divine-power fragment.
She fused all the rest.
[Main Divine Power: Power of Calamity]
[Secondary Divine Powers:
Power of Calamity ×4
Power of the Undead ×4
Power of the Wolf God ×1]
[Fusion!]
As the radiance of a rainbow-colored Mythic item erupted, an indescribable substance appeared before Chu Fu’s eyes.
Its shape was constantly changing and fluctuating, like a unique law.
[Divine Power of Calamity (Mythic): After absorption, you will grasp the laws of calamity. The power of all calamity skills will increase by 10,000%.]
Simple and brutal.
A hundredfold increase in power!
Was this the strength of divine power?
Chu Fu was even afraid that a sneeze from her might create a viral catastrophe.
[Integrate? Yes/No]
“Yes!”
Chu Fu instantly fused the pseudo-godhead into herself.
She had grasped power that approached the level of a true god.
But that raised a question.
What kind of power did true gods possess?
Was her current strength enough to contend with a god?
Although she felt that it probably was not, her strength had indeed increased tremendously.
She now had complete confidence in entering the level-60 Primordial-tier dungeon.
…
The Higher-Dimensional Plane.
The Undead Reaper, who had suffered a crushing defeat, wore a hideous expression.
“Everyone, I’m withdrawing from this round first!”
The Undead Reaper was absolutely furious.
Even if they won this round, the humans who survived would most likely carry the Reaper’s divine power with them as they escaped through the [Primeval Gate].
The Undead Reaper had suffered a catastrophic loss.
The other evil gods frowned deeply.
“Idiot!”
The Insect Mother said coldly, “You’re running away, but how are the rest of us supposed to fight? Are you really going to let them clear this round? Won’t all our previous investments be wasted?”
The Undead Reaper’s voice sounded like countless vengeful spirits wailing together.
“Then descend into the game and plunder it before leaving.”
In truth, the Undead Reaper had already realized that humanity was about to turn the tables completely.
So they could also play dirty.
Humans could roll back the game.
The gods could destroy it.
“Hehehe… Aren’t you afraid the primordial humans will come after us?”
If they truly destroyed the game, the gods would no longer be players controlling the board. They would all be forced to enter the game themselves.
The primordial humans on humanity’s side would discover them and hunt them down.
Humanity was growing stronger by the day, spreading across countless planes. Every one of those primordial humans was an outstanding existence who had fought their way up from minor planes.
The Undead Reaper did not want to confront them either.
“Then what do you suggest?”
At that moment, an existence as immense as a mountain spoke.
“There’s no need to worry. From here on, let our Titan faction take over. We’ll tear these city walls apart completely. This time, I’ll invest more than ten times the number of Titans we used before!”
The Titan God spoke.
Only then did the gods’ quarrel come to an end.
Not only that, but the Mechanical God spoke as well.
“The probability of entering the Primordial-tier dungeon is 100%!”
Everyone else turned to look at the Mechanical God.
The Mechanical God continued, “The trap we prepared specifically for them is about to be triggered!
“However, we don’t know what rewards the Primeval Gate has given these humans. If the rewards are too generous, the trap may prove useless.”
At this, all the evil gods became alert.
…
Within the game.
After the siege battle ended and countless players cheered, they began frantically collecting contribution points.
In the contribution-point shop, a divine-power fragment cost ten trillion points, and each person could exchange for only one.
A city’s Undead Calamity would provide a total of only 22.5 billion contribution points. In the final wave, none of the cities fought, reducing the total by another three billion points.
Moreover, only 8,838 servers had participated in this battle. Some Primordial-tier dungeons had been cleared earlier, allowing their cities to survive, so the actual amount of contribution points obtained was even lower.
Chu Fu’s fifteen trillion contribution points—changed from the previous figure of fifteen—were already an enormous amount.
Even so, she could exchange them for only one divine-power fragment.
It was easy to imagine just how precious this item was.
Across the entire world, only a little over ten fragments could be exchanged for. There would definitely be fewer than twenty.
That was equivalent to killing a divine envoy.
Most importantly, no single person could possess all of them.
The difficulty was immense.
But one only had to look at the strength of a pseudo-god to understand that a hundredfold increase in skill effects was absolutely worth it.
In fact, Chu Fu had always been considering one question.
If pseudo-gods were already this powerful…
How strong were true gods?
How did one become a true god?
Of course, it was still too early to think about such distant matters.
For now, it was time to acquire more fragments.
Among the four people, Chu Fu and Chu Feng had each obtained three divine-power fragments, while Shen Chi and Xie Lin had obtained two each.
After adding the rewards and the fragments they had exchanged for, Shen Chi currently possessed nine divine-power fragments and was about to become a pseudo-god.
Her older brother, Chu Feng, had only eight.
He needed to kill two divine envoys.
Chu Fu had a feeling that there had to be a divine envoy inside the Primordial-tier dungeon, Mechanical Star.
Now, they were the hunters.
They had to begin the hunt.
But before that, Chu Fu decided to rest for a day.
She was too tired. She was exhausted.
For a full twenty-one days, Chu Fu had not slept even once.
Not to mention that the attributes she had acquired had not yet manifested in the real world.
She could use this period to withdraw those attributes.
Chu Fu returned to her City Lord’s Mansion in Thorn City and collapsed into bed.
As she entered a deep sleep, she extracted her attributes at the same time.
Chu Fu slept extremely well. When she woke, her muddled mind had become much clearer.
The moment she opened her eyes, a new game announcement appeared.
