Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 567

"Did the creator of this instance think that a few hundred Chaos Overlords would be enough to defeat me?"

The divine tree clone looked at the challenge information and felt as if it had been underestimated.

However, if you really follow the player's guide, you do have a chance, since the margin for error is there.

Understanding the information, finding the flaws, and most importantly, constantly testing them in real-world scenarios—that's what makes it so unpredictable.

The entire Origin Continent could easily gather hundreds of Chaos Sovereigns, but they lacked the ability to send these people one after another to fight against a God King.

What troubles the Divine Tree clone is that the worlds behind these players are probably far stronger than those of the Origin Continent, and who knows what kind of heaven-defying treasures they might bring out.

Just like in the primordial universe, the Lord of the Universe was far from being a match for the True God. However, if one learned the secret method of burning divine power from the Origin Continent and combined it with the treasure of the Mechanical Flow, one could not only contend with the True God, but even turn the tables and kill him.

Thinking of this, the Divine Tree clone felt a little nervous and hurriedly recovered in this instance space.

This instance space is also somewhat special; it absorbs divine power at an extremely high rate, enough to allow him to recover before the next player arrives.

"These players come from other worlds, and the fact that they can meet here is truly an incredible power." The Divine Tree clone surveyed the unseen restrictions around it.

Once you pass through this barrier, does it mean you've arrived in another source world?

The Divine Tree Avatar was very interested in the world behind these players. Although it didn't know how it compared to the Realm Heart Continent, it was definitely stronger than the Origin Continent.

Just as the divine tree's clone was pondering, the next wave of attacks arrived.

"kill!"

A unified force, dressed in blue armor and organized by hundreds of Chaos Overlords, has descended once again.

Compared to the previous player group, this explicit prohibition is more like an army, while the previous group could only be considered an adventurer group.

Clearly, Dawn Guild's failure has discouraged many other guilds, who have relinquished their dungeon slots to stronger teams.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Hundreds of Chaos Sovereigns formed a unified whole, and in an army-like formation, they charged directly at the Divine Tree clone.

"The tree world is coming!"

At this moment, the divine tree clone maintained the form of the divine tree, using divine power to connect the entire forest, bringing them back to life and making them a part of its body.

A large number of living trees pressed down on the blue-armored army, but the latter's entire army had already been connected by an array.

Despite appearing to be an army of hundreds, they acted as if they were acting alone.

When the team moves, a wave-like color subtly covers the team.

The team easily tore apart the numerous trees that had been activated.

All attacks that hit the blue ripples are first weakened by the formation, and then the damage is shared by hundreds of Chaos Overlords.

With this double weakening, it can withstand even attacks from god-king level beings.

Rumble…

The blue army advanced like waves through the forest, tearing a rift in the vast forest before arriving before the Void Tree King.

"What an exquisite formation!"

Seeing this, the Divine Tree clone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration that such a level of secret technique simply couldn't be used in the Origin Continent, and naturally no one would create it.

A divine kingdom only has about a dozen Chaos Rulers, not even enough to form a complete group.

On the Origin Continent, the only one with the means to utilize this technique is the Destruction Clan.

"Shatter the Realm!"

At this moment, the blue army that rushed in front of the divine tree clone also launched a full-force attack.

The power of hundreds of Chaos Rulers, amplified and gathered by the array, was condensed into a single point, forming a gigantic axe that exuded an aura powerful enough to destroy the world.

Based on the attack power of this giant axe, it is indeed capable of destroying the universe.

"cut!"

The giant axe, radiating an aura of destruction, cleaved fiercely at the towering divine tree in front of it, as if it wanted to sever the heaven-supporting Jianmu tree.

Boom...

A huge axe struck the sacred tree, and with a "crack," the tall tree snapped in two, its thick branches slamming heavily onto the ground.

Seeing this, the people in the blue army did not feel joy, but instead became even more solemn.

The boss monster has already reached its second phase; who knows if a third or fourth phase will appear?

To everyone's surprise, the divine tree clone did not undergo any new changes; the collapsed branches instantly merged into the entire forest.

In an instant, countless towering divine trees replaced the forest and appeared all around, along with a phantom blood moon hanging in the sky.

The hundreds of Chaos Sovereigns stared at the identical divine trees around them, speechless for a moment.

He even forgot about the system notification that his mental attributes had decreased.

Under the influence of the illusory realm, they couldn't distinguish which one was the true form of the divine tree, or whether they were all the same entity.

The behavior of the Divine Tree's clone is no less than that of a God-King facing the Chaos Ruler, who not only did not choose to confront the opponent head-on, but instead chose to maneuver, first weaken them, and then defeat them.

Players witnessing this scene might have the illusion that they are the bosses and the other side is the player.

Indeed, after discovering the true nature of the entire instance and its own position, the Divine Tree clone quickly changed its mindset.

That means he is the challenger when facing these players, and these players are the bosses waiting for him to challenge them.

A different mindset leads to different behaviors. By proactively placing oneself in a humble position, one can naturally find various ways to win.

Rumble…

The second group of players found that they had run out of mana and hadn't even touched the Divine Tree's main body yet. They could only watch in despair as the overwhelming attacks broke through their formation defenses and shattered their bodies.

Then came the third wave... In stark contrast to the second wave of players, hundreds of Chaos Overlords poured all their power into one player, creating a God-King level warrior.

Furthermore, the third batch of players devised a special strategy to deal with the Void Path of the Divine Tree's clone.

Through the props, a kind of unspoken connection was achieved, which minimized the impact of the illusion and allowed the sole combatant to exert their full strength.

This was the first time the Divine Tree clone had gone all out, using all its other methods besides the other Origin Paths to defeat the third wave of players.

The fourth wave of players, all skilled in mental attacks, actually chose to directly clash with the Divine Tree's clone in a battle of souls.

This was the first time the Divine Tree clone had ever encountered a battle that was all-out from the start, leaving no room for maneuver.

If it weren't for the fact that the Void Realm Dao truly amplified the soul, making his soul far surpass that of other God-Kings, a normal God-King would probably have perished along with these hundreds of Chaos Rulers.

This battle had a significant impact on the Divine Tree clone. Even though it quickly recovered using the dungeon space, the aftereffects were still carried over to the next battle.

The fifth wave of players, each carrying a part of their mech, pieced together a God-King level battle armor. They almost exhausted the divine power of the Divine Tree clone before winning.

The sixth wave of players was led by highly skilled players. Each of the three players in the lead group was capable of performing at the level of the tenth floor of the Chaos Tower and had a thorough understanding of the abilities of the Divine Tree clones.

"As expected of the Fourth Calamity!"

The divine tree's avatar struggled against the attack, completely forgetting its identity as a god-king and treating the other as an equal. Both sides were in a difficult struggle.

……

Chapter 552 The Supreme Gaze

"What a powerful Chaos Overlord!"

The divine tree clone has now returned to its human form. Although the essence of its clone is the divine tree, the human form is the most suitable for all the secret techniques it creates.

Although differences in body shape don't have a significant impact on the secret technique, in this moment of giving it your all, you must seize every minute difference.

The sixth wave of player attacks was led by three players comparable to those on the tenth floor of the Chaos Tower, while the remaining players were responsible for external influence, weakening, and soul attacks, etc.

With the close cooperation of these players, even the Divine Tree clone was suppressed for a time.

A group of Chaos Overlords joined forces and actually suppressed a powerful God-King. If this news were to get out, the people in the Origin Continent probably wouldn't believe it.

However, this was indeed the case. Apart from the first and second waves of players, the Divine Tree clone fought with all its might in every wave of attacks, daring not to relax in the slightest.

Especially for players who joined later, almost all of them had a detailed strategy guide, looking for flaws in the Divine Tree clone technique and weaknesses in combat.

If these flaws and defects were discovered or even confirmed by beings who are also God-Kings or even stronger, the Divine Tree clone could still find excuses for itself, claiming that its realm and experience were inferior to others.

However, the one in charge of implementing it was a group of Chaos Overlords, and they even achieved results, which shut down all the excuses of the Divine Tree's clones, and it was indeed their own problem.

In this battle with gamers, anyone who progresses even slightly slower will be targeted and severely punished.

During this process, the Divine Tree clone also thought with an unprecedented, all-out effort to solve its own shortcomings and find the enemy's weaknesses.

He has only been a God-King for a short time. Relying on his special primordial Dao and heaven-defying foundation, although he can unleash powerful strength, he also has many flaws in the process.

With each crisis overcome, the Divine Tree clone felt its control over power had become more perfect, and its understanding of itself had deepened.

Sometimes you don't know how far you're capable until you push yourself to the limit.

"Just how vast is the game world on the other side?" After defeating the sixth wave of enemies, the Divine Tree clone couldn't help but ponder.

The fact that so many Chaos Overlords have appeared one after another, and that each wave has a different style, means that the number of Chaos Overlords in the larger world behind them, or rather, the beings capable of wielding the power of Chaos Overlords, is definitely hundreds or thousands of times greater.

Therefore, the Divine Tree clone was extremely curious about the world outside the instance, but no matter what methods he used, he could not learn a single thing about the outside world from the players.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the suppression of information from the primordial cosmic will by the primordial continent.

"Perhaps it was also influenced by the power of the supreme rules. After all, this is not a world that Yuan meticulously crafted. Being able to achieve this level is probably already the limit."

The divine tree divided its mind and body to quickly recover its divine power, a wooden sword circling around it as it awaited the arrival of the seventh wave of players.

"Come on, next wave of enemies..."

……

After the Divine Tree clone broke into the Origin God City, the World Beast Source followed closely behind and also broke in. The alien beasts responsible for guarding the city were no match for this World Beast King.

"Instance: Destroyer Lord!"

Because it entered the realm one after the other, the Beast Source was also thrown into a dungeon space and became a boss monster that needed to be defeated.

However, unlike the Divine Tree clone, because the former's realm is only at the first level of God King, Unreal Engine felt that it was enough to arrange for players at the Chaos Overlord level to take it down.

Coming from a more prosperous world, one naturally has to shoulder greater responsibilities, which is a test for both sides.

As for beings like the second level of God King or the Beast King, they naturally need to be conquered by God King level players, and the number of players needed to do so is not small, although the number of waves players need to conquer them will be less.
