Chapter 87-3: The Three Great Demonic Sects (3) |
Class Rep: “Hahaha! 872 points, 8.7 times enhancement!”
As the Class Rep let out an arrogant laugh, pale blue spiritual rune symbols swirled around him, while surging world energy poured into his body.
Raising his right hand, a dark green fireball condensed above his palm, growing larger as it faced the wind.
With a flick of his consciousness, the massive dark fireball shot straight toward the horde of Evil Entities. Instantly, a large number of Evil Entities were swallowed by the Inkflame fireball, which continued advancing without slowing down.
This scene immediately drew the attention of many players.
Compared to the Class Rep’s good fortune, the other players in the Kindergarten Squad looked on helplessly.
During the World Judgment roll, all of them had drawn weakened states, with only the Class Rep receiving a power boost.
However, the Class Rep’s amplified strength at this moment was enough to compensate for the team’s overall losses, even increasing their combined combat power by several times.
The 8.7-fold boost enhanced all aspects: mental strength, mental recovery speed, and physical aptitude. The resulting power-up was astonishing.
Besides the gap in combat skill, there was also the absolute dominance of physical attributes.
Assume a normal person’s attack strength is 1, and their physical defense is 0.5. Ordinary people could injure each other in hand-to-hand combat.
But a Super Gene Warrior’s average physical aptitude was 5. A normal person’s punch would feel like a tickle, posing no real threat. With self-healing abilities gained from physical enhancement, a Super Warrior would utterly crush ordinary people, rendering sheer numbers meaningless.
The same principle applied in Monster World.
With an 8.7-fold enhancement, the Class Rep instantly became the strongest in the entire player legion, by a wide margin.
The Qi Eater Inherited Soul’s energy recovery rate multiplied by eight was terrifying. The Class Rep quickly split off six clones and activated group Fireball mode.
Single-handedly, he accelerated the allied guild army’s advance.
This earned endless praise from the commanding God King, who was already considering recruiting this luck-based combat team.
Twenty minutes later.
More than half of the joint guild army’s players had fallen, but they finally approached the area where the Corrosion Core was located.
The Evil Entity resistance grew ferociously intense.
Black mist churned violently, the stench of corruption spread wantonly, and an indescribable foul odor filled the air. Hoarse whispers echoed intermittently from within the mist, causing widespread mental shock damage.
New Evil Entities of Hunt Level 8 and above constantly formed and joined the battle.
Facing the ever-escalating strength of the Fearsome Black Tide, God King made a decisive call, players who had lost combat capability would break away from the team and clear paths through self-detonation.
This decision accelerated the team’s casualties.
But it also provided new momentum for the push forward.
Fifteen minutes later…
The players finally saw the twisted tumor-like mass shrouded in black mist: the Corrosion Core that occupied this territory node beneath their feet.
At that moment, God King issued his final charge order.
The remaining one-third of players threw caution aside, following the crowd into a final frenzy.
As the Corrosion Core shattered under concentrated fire, chunks of flesh scattering, Qi Sheng’s Emperor’s Sign power coiled around the node crystal previously encased by the tumor.
As the power infused it, a black dot appeared beneath the node crystal, quickly spinning and expanding.
Until it completely engulfed the players and the sinkhole.
Boom!
The ground abruptly sank. The sinkhole and the players vanished in an instant, while the gaping earth was swiftly pulled back into place by world energy.
At the same time, the Challenger Notification rang out in every player’s mind:
[Challenger Notification (Global Channel): The Global Mission to Purify Devilfall Pit has been completed. Rewards will be distributed according to contribution: …]
As the notification sounded, Emperor’s Mound Village trembled. After merging with the territory node, its area expanded.
Originally, Qi Sheng had planned to position this mining pit at the southern edge of Emperor’s Mound Village to give players a new mining option.
But at Guide’s suggestion, he changed his plan, learning that nodes of the same type could be fused for mutual benefit.
If new zones were continually opened for new nodes, Emperor’s Mound Village would eventually be overwhelmed with mining areas. It would be better to merge the two mining zones.
Qi Sheng found this idea quite feasible.
Thus, he merged Devilfall Pit with Shadowed Cavern. After the fusion of the two territory nodes, a new underground mining area was formed. Both the mining speed and the quality of spirit ores improved after the fusion. Most importantly, the mining area expanded to more than double its previous size, and all the narrow passages disappeared.
While the system notification informed players of the detailed update, Qi Sheng simultaneously launched a brand new feature.
Honor Album.
Accessing the Honor Album through the function panel, the cover displayed a golden main tone, with a crimson Emperor’s Sign flame at its center.
Opening the album, the first page featured a line of gleaming golden text.
[In the river of time, every player writes their own story in their own way. Some stories deserve to be recorded in history and become legends.
This album is dedicated to recording the glorious milestone moments in the growth of the player legion.]
—
Turning the page edged with golden stripes, the first page displayed a clickable video recording. Next to it were scrollable highlight photos, capturing the epic moment when the player legion purified Shadowed Cavern through bloody battle.
Beneath it was the timestamp and an accessible honor contribution ranking for the purification mission.
The second page’s video and highlight photos recorded the entire process of capturing the Devilfall Pit territory node moments ago.
The launch of the Honor Album was a spur-of-the-moment idea from Qi Sheng.
Its purpose was to enhance players’ collective sense of honor, record their brilliant performances in battle, provide future generations with material to study and learn from, and document every key historical node in the player faction’s development.
