“So you’re the little punk who sealed my spells!”
Chu Fu had found the culprit.
Without a word, she ordered all her clones to charge.
But the moment they drew near, the electric fence beside the tower zapped them until they were blackened and charred. The clones died, turning into streaks of white light before vanishing.
Even so, countless players continued throwing themselves into the battle.
With magic unusable, everyone who came was powerless to deal any real damage. Their only ranged attacks were arrows.
Yet when those arrows struck the Tower Apostle, they could not even penetrate its defenses.
Its armor value was effectively its health bar, and it remained completely unscathed.
“Let me try!”
Xie Lin gathered every weapon and longsword he could find.
He had brought nearly all the weapons belonging to the Thorny Guild.
Not only that, whenever a player dropped a weapon, he would fish it out of the chaos and take control of it.
He even picked up metal fragments scattered across the battlefield, hammered them a few times, and quickly forged a crude sword.
As the Sword God, it didn’t matter what a weapon looked like. As long as it was a weapon, it could become a divine weapon in his hands.
After creating countless clones, he had also rapidly formed a new domain skill: Sword Formation.
A colossal sword, a full kilometer long, took shape.
“Come on! Have a taste of my Galaxy Sword—Slash the Galaxy!”
Xie Lin’s countless swords gathered together. Since high-quality weapons came with their own glowing visual effects, when they merged in the sky, they actually formed a radiance resembling countless stars, glittering across the heavens.
The galaxy turned, and the sword came crashing down.
As an experienced player, he knew better than anyone how to identify an enemy’s weaknesses.
This tower-shaped mecha was flawless and possessed astonishing defensive power, but its ten arms had been welded on.
When fighting mechanical creatures, dismantling them directly was much easier.
That sword strike was aimed at the mechanical arms.
“Clang, clang, clang…”
The Galaxy Sword swept across the mechanical arms.
Countless sparks of metal erupted from the collision. The longswords were knocked away, but even more swords continued striking the mechanical arms.
At last, the armor value above the enemy’s head moved.
[Armor remaining: 11.5 trillion]
They had taken away 500 billion health!
More importantly, one of the mecha’s arms had been damaged.
At once, it was as though a breach had been opened in that direction.
Elemental energy began to recover.
The clones controlled by Chu Fu finally seemed to have broken free.
They could once again draw on the energy within their bodies.
Her clones began manipulating the withered plant sprites, injecting them with energy once more, forcing them to mature, causing them to burst forth with more seeds, and then mutating them.
In an instant, the metallic Mechanical Star seemed to bloom everywhere.
Chu Fu enlarged the plants and fused them into herself.
She transformed into a plant-human combined with the Hulk.
This time, Chu Fu’s clones finally withstood the Mechanical Apostle’s electric fence!
Relying on her explosively enhanced physical strength, Chu Fu charged through the electric fence and reached the Mechanical Apostle’s feet.
She immediately slit open her palm and let the blood flow.
Then she smeared it fiercely across the base of the tower.
The poison rapidly spread, corroding the metal.
“We’ve found its weakness! Everyone, attack together!”
Feng Huimin marked one of the mechanical arms.
Countless players attacked it at once.
Chu Feng leaped onto the mechanical arm, aimed his dagger at a single point, and struck hundreds of times per second.
Most importantly, there was not just one Chu Feng.
There were countless Chu Fengs, all wearing cloaks. The only difference between them was their equipment and weapons.
The countless Chu Fengs gathered together like a flock of woodpeckers, their daggers flashing in unison. In less than five minutes, they severed the enormous mechanical arm.
Armor value: -500 billion.
“Woohoo!”
The magic-oriented players cheered. Another area of the magic seal had been broken.
Keep attacking!
…
Within the higher-dimensional plane.
Several evil gods were left in disarray.
Why were there so many [Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?] players smearing poison everywhere?
Why were so many [Lu Xing] players acting as woodpeckers?
Why had so many [Who Are You Calling Blind?] players formed a sword formation?
As for Shen Chi…
It was better not to mention him. There were simply too many of him!
At last, the Goblin God blinked and said, “Clones. They’re using cloning technology!”
All the evil gods locked onto their opponent.
Cloning technology was not exclusive to the Goblin God.
But was this really how things were supposed to go?
They had originally been the ones invading humanity.
So why did it now feel as if humanity were invading them instead?
At this moment, the Mechanical God’s chances of victory had plummeted.
Probability of failure: 62.2%… 82.7%… 100%…
…
In the game.
The Tower Apostle had been reduced to a bare, stripped-down pillar.
Since everyone had been using clones, Chu Fu and the others had feared that the divine power fragments would not be awarded to clones. Thus, they had taken the risk of entering the Origin-level dungeon.
The final blow, naturally, had to be delivered by their true bodies.
Fortunately, there were no more hidden schemes!
Through everyone’s efforts, the Mechanical Apostle was finally killed.
[System Announcement: Under the leadership of player “Rocket on a Wheelchair,” humanity has defeated the evil god’s apostle and driven the evil god’s power out of the Primordial Gate. All participating players are rewarded with +100 to all attributes. This reward can stack.]
[System Announcement: Mechanical Apostle, Sequence Zero has been destroyed. The strength of mechanical monsters has decreased by 100%. The difficulty of mechanical-type dungeons has been reduced, and mechanical and technological blueprints are now more likely to drop.]
[System Announcement: The stolen divine power will be returned to all players. Please continue your efforts!]
[System Announcement: Congratulations to the players for clearing the Origin-level dungeon: Mechanical Star. +10 to all attributes.]
“Easy win!”
“That was awesome! Now this is what a real game should be—no fear of death and no fear of losing equipment. Even ants can bring down an elephant if there are enough of them.”
“From today onward, let’s show the evil gods just how terrifying the Fourth Calamity can be!”
Everyone erupted in cheers.
The ten players with the highest contribution in the battle each received a divine power fragment.
Chu Fu received one as well.
But someone received two!
That person was Shen Chi.
Ten thousand mecha had simply been too influential in the battle.
As for Chu Fu’s older brother, Chu Feng, he had only received one, but that was enough to complete his collection of divine power fragments.
Humanity now had two more demigods:
The Mechanical God and the God of Slaughter!
Not only that.
In the past, they had fought through Origin-level dungeons and then still needed to leave them afterward.
But this time, Long Zhantian and Chu Fu discussed the matter and reached the same decision: they would establish a base inside this Origin-level dungeon.
They would build a city here.
Just as monsters had invaded their world, humanity would now launch a counter-invasion.
Once the city was completed, they would use it as a base and begin invading Mechanical Star in reverse.
The dungeon’s name was Mechanical Star. If it was called a planet, then this world had to be at least as large as a planet. How could it possibly contain only one mechanical city?
This was the evil god’s lair.
They had to wipe it out completely.
Thus, large numbers of players remained behind and began constructing a city that belonged to humanity.
“By the way, Chairwoman Chu, the Goblin Apostle among the low-level monsters still hasn’t appeared. We’ve already located them. Shall we go hunt them together? We need more demigods.”
Long Zhantian never kept good opportunities to himself.
The high-level players of the Thorny Guild possessed the most divine power fragments. Only by allowing them to complete their divine godhood first could everyone’s safety be guaranteed.
Therefore, they had to bring Chu Fu along.
