A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 2697: Chapter 1824: Chaotic Battle (Not Eating Much, Yet Not Hungry)

Duanmu Huai’s plan actually ended here.

He has always been the kind who is broad in his planning. Like now, Duanmu Huai feels that he can activate the Ether Synchronous Engine and begin to flood the entire Subspace. Then he wants to rely on the power of Subspace to fight four (oh, no, Obsessive Sin is in labor, should say three) and try to get rid of these four guys.

But... when he really got to the battlefield, Duanmu Huai realized that he was still thinking too simply.

After all, the power of the Chaos Evil God is completely on par with his.

Although Duanmu Huai can rely on the power of the God of Destruction to resist attacks from Cunning Deception and Corrupted Foil, the fight with Brutal Wrath still gave him a hard time. Duanmu Huai now feels like he’s a BOSS, with Brutal Wrath as the T pulling him, Corrupted Foil beside him trying hard to debuff him, and a sneaky DPS in the back... Mad, this is really unlucky!

"Boom!"

Duanmu Huai blocked Brutal Wrath’s attack once more, gritting his teeth. Although the power of Subspace still flows towards him constantly, the three on the opposite side are also Subspace veterans, while he is a novice... How long will this fight last?

The shouting on the side of Obsessive Sin is getting more spirited, the birth of the Shinigami not only hasn’t threatened this pervert but seems to excite it more?

What the heck should he do?

Just as Duanmu Huai was contemplating while staring at the enemies before him, suddenly a voice appeared by his ear.

"It seems like you are in a tough battle?"

"Who are you?"

Duanmu Huai held against the blue-haired bird man’s magic, hammering Brutal Wrath again while muttering under his breath.

"Hello, customer service agent 999812 at your service. We’ve detected an abnormal energy source connected to this system, hence we initiated monitoring."

"Oh, so can you help?"

Duanmu Huai dodged Brutal Wrath’s axe in a flash and then threw the Thunder Warhammer in his hand. It flew out like a missile and smashed onto Corrupted Foil’s head, which then melted like a mud puddle only to re-form again. As Duanmu Huai raised his arms, clenched his fists, to block Brutal Wrath’s sweeping attack while yelling.

"We’re sorry, your world is not within our reach..."

"Can you say something useful then? Don’t be like those AI who only talk gibberish."

Duanmu Huai kicked Brutal Wrath away while extending his hand, making the Thunder Warhammer return to his hand just in time to block the lightning attack from the blue-haired bird man. The flashing purple thunder flowing through Duanmu Huai’s hammer spread over his body, but before taking effect, it was consumed by the black flame on him.

"But you don’t seem to be in a life-threatening situation right now."

"That’s right, I’m not going to die, but who knows how long I’ll be fighting."

Duanmu Huai bit his teeth harder, but there was no other way. It’s a power struggle with both sides having limitless energy. That means if they want to drag it out, Duanmu Huai could be fighting them for a hundred years without an end.

Sure enough, these four bastards aren’t easy to deal with...

"Mad, if only I could duel one-on-one, I would’ve already killed all of you..."

Duanmu Huai collided with Brutal Wrath again, both trembling as they retreated. At the same time, the customer service voice rang out again.

"So if you had the chance to duel them one-on-one, you think you could eliminate your enemies in front of you?"

"Do you have a way?"

Duanmu Huai even started thinking about using his Ancient Dominator permissions to summon a few Outer Gods to mix things up. However, inviting gods is easy but sending them away is hard, and with Cunning Deception in the mix, once it sees Yog Sothoth, who knows if they’ll hit it off and team up against him.

Just might have to call Tindalos over here and let them loose...

"Because you have a genuinely powerful energy supply, I could indeed offer a suggestion."

"Then say it quickly!"

Duanmu Huai rushed out from the fire conjured by the blue-haired bird, his path again blocked by Brutal Wrath who seems keen to force him into an all-out fight. Duanmu Huai never expected this entity to play the role of a T so diligently. Even though players often joke about the complex relationships among Chaos Evil Gods, once engaged, Duanmu Huai found their relationships to be far more complex than imagined.

This is unavoidable after all because players don’t possess a Divine Position in the game, and according to the storyline, however powerful, players can’t rip apart an Evil God.

"You can activate the system menu, locate the activation symbol at the bottom, and inject all your Divine Power into it to activate the system’s ultimate effect..."

"And then?"

"But I must remind you, once the system’s ultimate outcome is activated, it will be permanently sealed. Unless you achieve victory, otherwise during this period you won’t be able to use any abilities through the system."

"What about Soul Cards?"

"That belongs to occupational traits."

"..."

Duanmu Huai bit his jaw and stared at the Chaos Evil Gods ahead. He had an ill feeling because the cooperation between these three was becoming increasingly refined. Initially, Duanmu Huai held onto the player’s mindset thinking Brutal Wrath might corner the underdog Obsessive Sin. Who would have thought these beings, that fight to the death in Subspace, could be so united against foreign threats... perhaps it’s not just because of the old players’ style.

But I won’t just let it go like this!

Let’s fight!

Duanmu Huai swung his hammer once again, forcing Brutal Wrath to retreat. Then, he stepped back and activated the system, fully infusing his divine power into it as per the customer service’s instructions. Subsequently, Duanmu Huai watched as the system framework before him became increasingly dazzling with the insane flow of divine power, until finally—————

"Bang!!"

A sudden burst of golden light erupted from Duanmu Huai’s body, transforming into a pillar of light shooting straight into the sky, causing even the dark subspace to tremble in the brilliance of this golden glow. The shadows of darkness were mercilessly torn apart, a powerful aura emerged that even the Chaos Evil God halted in its tracks, warily watching the pillar of light before it.

Moments later, the pillar of light vanished.

Duanmu Huai raised his head, staring at the sky. Moments later, he saw snow-white envelopes descending from the sky, drifting toward the ground.

Meanwhile, new content appeared in the system interface in front of Duanmu Huai.

[Gift Game about to begin, activate special Soul Card — Mechanical Descent]

The next moment, Duanmu Huai saw the large iron coffin, which he had placed on his flagship to charge the Reality Stabilizing Anchor, suddenly appear in the battlefield’s center. At the same time, the white-haired girl who had been in deep slumber inside the large iron coffin opened her eyes.

Then, a dazzling light instantly exploded, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Duanmu Huai tightly gripped his War Hammer, his eyes wide open, staring at the snow-white battlefield. He didn’t know what had happened, but he was certain this might be his only chance. To defeat the Chaos Evil God, the best way was to break them down one by one. And now, it seemed that this was the only method he could rely on!

Moments later, the light faded, and Duanmu Huai discovered that he was no longer on the previous subspace battlefield but in a very spacious small room. Furthermore, the Power Armor on his body had disappeared, replaced instead with the attire of the Judge.

At this moment, the system screen before Duanmu Huai appeared gray, completely locked. He tried pressing the options above but received no response.

So, what’s happening now?

Duanmu Huai turned to carefully observe the room he was in.

The entire room was incredibly empty, with nothing inside except a door, a desk, and the letter placed on the desk.

Letter?

Duanmu Huai stepped forward, tearing open the black envelope and taking out the letter inside.

Then, the contents appeared before Duanmu Huai’s eyes.

[Gift Game Name: Twilight of the Gods]

[Contestant Overview: Battlefield belonging to Chaos Faction]

[Contestant Side, Host-delegated Game Leaders: Brutal Wrath, Corrupted Foil, Obsessive Sin, Cunning Deception]

[Contestant Side Prohibition: Leaving the game-designated world before the game ends is not allowed]

[Contestant Side Victory Condition: Eliminate Host Duanmu Huai]

[Heavenly Dao Palace Seal]

"............"

Staring at the letter paper before him, Duanmu Huai paused, then finally understood.

Is this a death game for me?

However, the rules are pretty simple: killing the opponent means winning, and getting killed means losing.

In other words, four Evil Gods, four worlds. I need to face off against the four Evil Gods in these worlds and eliminate them one by one?

Now Duanmu Huai understands what the customer service meant. It really turned into a one-on-one match, which makes things easier. If they challenge me alone, it’s not easy to win, but one-on-one is simple enough for me to crush these bastards.

But......

Duanmu Huai sensed his strength. The power that transmitted the subspace origin from the Divine Realm had been cut off. It seemed like the game’s main theme was fairness, and of course, this fairness favored Duanmu Huai. After all, the Chaos Evil Gods don’t care about fairness......but unfortunately, they have no choice now.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai grinned, showing a hint of a smug smile.

Then, he extended his hand, pushed the door open, and strode out of the room.

Let’s see how well you can play with me in this death game!
