Chapter 709: Chapter 369 Collapsing Players_2

After that comment, the discussion below the post fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, everyone was so engrossed in the joyful atmosphere of monster hunting in Dawn City that they overlooked the threat of the deity. That god had billions of HP and possessed abnormal abilities such as God’s Devouring and God’s Defense, capable of instant killing countless players with a casual strike!

It just so happened that Dawn City encountered it, which had many top-ranked bosses and the aid of the Octopus King, transforming a disaster into a communal benefit.

Other cities, should they dare treat the deity like a regular boss to be bullied, they would probably die without even realizing how!

"Whoosh——"

When people fell silent in the post,

A flood of frightened expressions and comments suddenly appeared. Looking at the IDs, they were all players from Dawn City.

"Damn, I got killed!"

"Me too, it was so sudden!"

"What’s happening?" players from other cities were curious.

"The Shadow God suddenly erupted and freed himself from the Octopus King, gave a downward smack, and many people were instantly killed!"

"Is it that horrifying? Has the Shadow God become uncontrollable?"

"Not really, I got a prompt saying that the Octopus King lost some strength but has immediately recovered and bounded the Shadow God again..."

"Wait... holy shit, why is the Shadow God back at full HP?"

"What?"

Many players hearing this were stunned and quickly checked the Shadow God’s health.

The result shocked everyone: they had previously scraped off nearly 10% of the health of the Shadow God, only to see it restored back to its full 37 billion!

Didn’t this mean that the efforts they poured in for quite some time had all been in vain?

At this moment in the Star Spirit World, atop Dawn City,

Mu You, reincarnated in human form, looked with a grave expression at the Shadow God raging in the distance.

Just now, the Shadow God did indeed manage to break its bonds abruptly, raising its claws and striking down heavily.

However, this was far from simply "killing many people." Instead, it instantly wiped out all of the players in the field, including him!

Meanwhile, in Mu You’s Omniscient Crystal, another new ability of the Shadow God had been deciphered.

[God’s Hammer: Instantly annihilates all non-divine targets with HP below 30,000 and that have harmed you. For every enemy killed, you recover 100 HP.]

The explanation didn’t specify the extent of the ’surroundings’, but judging from the actual effect on the scene, the range was extraordinarily vast, encompassing several kilometers around!

Wiping out all enemies with HP below 30,000, anyone aside from the Octopus King was obviously a target. No wonder everyone was wiped out in one go...

However, in the Star Spirit World, resurrection was possible, so being wiped out once was not much of a big deal.

What’s truly troublesome about this ability was its second effect: recover 100 HP for each enemy killed.

Just now, there were around 37 million players gathered at the scene, each providing 100 HP, totalling to 3.7 billion HP. This was exactly 10% of the Shadow God’s total HP. No wonder its HP bar was refilled from 90% to full!

This ability was a perfect counter to the Zerg Strategy. It wiped out the entire army in one go and simultaneously restored its HP bar to full, rendering all their previous hard work useless!

Mu You once again experienced the horror of the divine: the terrifying HP, the formidable attack and defense, the constant emergence of abnormal abilities...

If it weren’t for the fortunate presence of Dawn City nearby today, along with the assistance of Lin Xue’s Grim Reaper skin and the Octopus King to temporarily restrain the opponent, letting this thing enter the Star Spirit World directly would amount to a high-dimensional attack on the common creatures there!

On the forum, the players from other cities who had been hoping to encounter another ’deity’ all fell silent.

This seemingly passive and battered deity simply barely stirred, and yet instantly obliterated everyone. This made many people deeply realise that this was not something a regular city could deal with.

"The Octopus King is weakening; help out quickly!"

"Damn, what are the Water Magic users doing? Hurry up and water the Octopus King!"

"I use Water Magic, but there’s no room," someone explained, clarifying that it wasn’t that they weren’t helping, it’s just that there were too many people and they didn’t have the opportunity to contribute.

"Exactly, I want to offer support, but the area around the Octopus King is jam-packed. I can’t even get within spell-casting distance!" Other Water Magic users chimed in.

While bickering was going on in the forum, all the residents of Dawn City received a City Lord’s message in their game.

[Ghost Captain: Those who are in section 2-0854, teleport to other areas immediately. Water Magic users and support personnel, enter this section.]

Section 2-0854 was precisely the section closest to the Octopus King at this moment.

During a full server raid like this text-based game, chaos in the field was inevitable. Mu You had to take the initiative as City Lord to manage the situation.

Due to the Shadow God’s recent counterattack being too shocking, most players conscientiously complied and withdrew from section 0854 one after another. They let the mages and priests take their places to heal and provide water to the Octopus King at close range, which quickly allowed the Octopus King to recover, and tie up the Shadow God more firmly.

The other players didn’t dare slack off either, and took advantage of the situation to quickly output. The situation soon recovered to the previous rhythm, with the Shadow God’s HP bar steadily declining.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Shadow God’s health was once again brought down to 90%.

However, just when everyone thought they could safely continue the trend, something unexpected happened.
