In Tokyo, the dungeon master

Directly above the Japanese islands.

Unexpectedly, the star that should have just passed by Earth was inspired by humanity and called by darkness, and under the guidance of the darkest chaotic magic, it changed its course slightly.

Even though it was just a slight pull, this endless and inexhaustible pull still made the star move faster and faster until people observed that this asteroid, which should not have arrived near Earth at this time, was already too late.

It is flying toward Japan at an ever-increasing speed in space, drawn by something mysterious, like gravity, and there is no other force in the world of Absolute Demons to restrain it.

This was something Gu Meng hadn't anticipated.

He never imagined that the intensity of this attack would suddenly shift from the childish level of Muzan's supernatural abandoned hospital to a world-ending crisis.

Gu Meng's current star sequence is too low, and his stargazing time is limited each time. After several attempts, he could only barely make out that the apocalypse was not next week. Naturally, he would not focus his energy on such tiny celestial bodies, which led to an unplanned change.

In his plan, Zoke's arrival was just a conspiracy by the Guiyi Cult, at most to amplify and strengthen the fear of monsters among the citizens of Tokyo.

A direct asteroid impact would be too devastating. It could destroy Japan and even affect the University of Tokyo.

After all, it's only separated by the East China Sea, so there will definitely be tsunamis and strong earthquakes.

Moreover, the opening of the instance caused the planet Apophis to expand rapidly amidst the world's immense fear, activated by the dark forces.

The original plan to absorb more fantasy has also increased. If it were just a monster landing in Tokyo, many people might just watch it for fun. In the common understanding, if there is a monster, at worst you can launch missiles, or if that doesn't work, use nuclear bombs. There is always a way to solve it. But something like an asteroid impact terrifies everyone.

This time, the dungeon boss also has the effect of becoming stronger the more feared it is. The Book of Ancestors already has the power to make fantasies come true. If Gu Meng wanted, he could add similar attributes to all the dungeon bosses.

The more this star expands, the more terrifying it becomes; the more terrifying it becomes, the more it expands.

At this moment of arrival.

The cataclysmic destruction ripped through the sky in a way far beyond human imagination.

When the star became visible to the naked eye, everyone who looked up could clearly see that the shadow that covered half the sky was not a star, but a giant celestial body that was charred black and covered with twisted patterns.

The planet Apocalypse, with a deafening roar as it tore through the atmosphere, was hurtling toward Earth.

Its originally irregular celestial outline continued to writhe and distort during its fall, as if some invisible force was tearing and reshaping it wildly from within.

This asteroid, after expanding and accelerating wildly, has accumulated enormous kinetic energy, enough to sink the entire country of Japan.

Moreover, when the dungeon automatically unfolds as Gu Meng set, it also brings with it the power of magic. With high stats on the left and a powerful mechanism that the Demon World simply cannot deal with on the right, it can be considered an apocalypse.

The apocalypse hasn't even arrived yet, and Gu Meng can already destroy the world first.

Once it enters the atmosphere, its surface is enveloped in a layer of gray-black miasma. Within the miasma, countless tiny, tentacle-like phantoms surge and twist wildly, swallowing up all the surrounding light and leaving only a suffocating darkness.

Wherever the miasma passed, the atmosphere was corroded, emitting a hissing sound, and the clouds were instantly dyed black, so that even sunlight could not penetrate this thick layer of haze.

It seems capable of dragging humanity into eternal darkness, just as Apophis did in legend. Today, this planet that destroys gods truly lives up to its name.

Unbeknownst to everyone, this eerie dark miasma was the embodiment of the resentment and power of the evil god Zorc within the instance. The arrival of the stars was also the time when Zorc was summoned back to Earth. What was originally a simple celestial collision disaster had become a medium for the descent of the evil god.

Meanwhile, in the background mechanics of the instance's opening, three beams of red, blue, and yellow light quietly awaken in Tokyo, surging out from the city. Under the control of Pharaoh Atum, an NPC in another instance's background, they intertwine to form a giant net of light, enveloping the falling planet of destruction.

This is the defensive force of the three Egyptian Gods, and it is the power in the background that can weaken and control Zorc.

It looks impressive, but it's actually useless.

This time, Gu Meng anchored the Shikon Jewel as the starting energy for the dungeon. The Shikon Jewel is now even stronger than in its complete form. As the dungeon boss to be compared to, Zorc is also much stronger than Gu Meng initially expected. However, the strength of the Shikon Jewel is not related to the three Egyptian God cards.

In layman's terms, the power of the Egyptian Gods is just a cutscene; it actually has nothing to do with Zorc's power. If the Shikon Jewel is weak enough, the weakening effect of the Egyptian Gods will become stronger, letting everyone know that it's not that Zorc is weak and only has such feeble power, but rather that he has been debuffed by the Egyptian Gods.

If the Shikon Jewel is strong enough now, the cutscene effects of the three Egyptian God cards will be quite ordinary.

This CG was automatically generated in real time by the Book of Ancestors based on Gu Meng's prior arrangements and requirements. In this real-life plot unfolding, the power of the three Egyptian Gods attempts to block this mutated planet and curb the spread of Zorc's power.

however……

This resistance seemed so pale and powerless.

When the three-colored net of light touched the gray-black miasma on the surface of the planet Destroyer, it instantly emitted a piercing shriek. The threads of the net of light melted and dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those originally incredibly resilient rays of light were easily torn apart like fragile paper under Zorc's contamination.

Countless specks of light drifted into the atmosphere, turning into tiny points of light that vanished in an instant, as if they had never existed.

Thus, the net of light was constantly generated and then shattered; the wills of the phantom god and the pharaoh repeatedly clashed, but they could never break through that strange miasma.

In that endless resistance, the mutated God Destroyer Star still approached Earth with its world-destroying momentum. The twisted patterns on its surface became clearer, and the writhing tentacles became thicker. Black gas even dripped from the surface of the star, fell into the atmosphere, and turned into corrosive black rain that hit the earth, turning the soil gray-black and instantly withering the vegetation.

However, this was inevitable.

Given Zorc's current strength, the god-like power in this cutscene can only be shown to be useful but not particularly effective.

Anyway, Gu Meng has his own interpretation of the script. If the Illusion God can successfully weaken Zorc, it means that Zorc is a loser after all. He has lost his power after being sealed for so many years. If things develop like this today, it means that the end of the world is coming and the gods are far away. Demons are rising and the Tao is declining. Humanity will face this calamity... No matter how you look at it, it makes sense.

The current reality is that the excess power of the evil god has completely permeated every inch of the planet Destroyer. This planet, which was originally just a cold celestial body, has now become Zorc's vessel, a behemoth carrying the will to destroy the world. Wherever it goes, all life will be devoured and all order will be overturned.

In that impending, hopeless future, Apollo will crash into Tokyo, and Zorc's power will instantly engulf all of Japan.

The earth cracks, the ocean boils, the sky collapses, and all the Japanese people will be corrupted and assimilated in the gray-black miasma, eventually becoming puppets of evil gods, and the whole of Japan will become a desolate ruin.

Those twisted tentacles will entangle the entire island nation, and that gray-black miasma will permeate every inch of space, plunging Japan into eternal darkness.

At this moment, the light network shattered time and time again, while the alienation of the God Destroyer Star continued to intensify, and Zorc's power grew stronger and stronger.

The three women of the Shirakawa family also had despair in their eyes. For them, three ordinary first-level extraordinary beings, such a scene could be described as a battle between gods.

Even though they are extraordinary, they still can't do anything.

Or, to put it another way, they could fire tiny light waves at Apollo, but such a drop in the ocean is as ridiculous as trying to extinguish a forest fire with a small water gun.

How could this be? They had already found the remains of the three Egyptian Gods and gained their approval, but now, they still couldn't do anything... The three women exchanged glances. At this point, they should...

We need... we need an unforgettable hero to step in and turn the tide.

"Master..." Shirakawa Manka clutched her throbbing head, wondering if she was having a replay of her thoughts, with many flashbacks appearing in her mind.

"Is this the God of Darkness...? I wonder how the God of Darkness of Gunara would compare to this evil god?" Shirakawa Chiyana thought of how she was also being watched by the evil god.

"To die alongside the young lady..."

……

In another corner of Tokyo, Atum, the NPC also in charge of cutscene CGs, controls the boy Muto Yuuki, who is possessed by him, casting a series of complex hand seals:

"No, Zorc's power was this strong before the apocalypse. I thought I could stop him... but now it seems..."

This can also be considered Gu Meng's experiment. He created a character based on Yu-Gi-Oh!, found a suitable successor with exceptionally high aptitude, and gave the chosen boy a particularly outrageous hairstyle, the kind of pointed hairstyle that the protagonists of Yu-Gi-Oh! have always had.

"Atum...are we all going to die here?"

"It seems so. Everyone will die, including me... unless a hero suddenly appears..."

Atum, this NPC, is like Gu Meng's Hundred Ghosts; after the dungeon ends, he can be used by Gu Meng.

Some special NPCs can even be directly controlled by Gu Meng, but their true power is far inferior to that of the dungeon boss.

Atem's current power level is only due to the cutscenes, where he can unleash such exaggerated magic to participate in the battle between the Egyptian God Cards and Zorc. In reality, these are just real special effects generated by the Book of Ancestors dungeon.

After the dungeon ends, Atum will say, as per the script, that the difficulty was too high this time, so the difficulty will be lower afterwards—of course, Atum himself is not aware that he is acting according to the script, he will think that this is all the situation he actually encountered.

He will maintain his remaining strength depending on the difficulty of the dungeon... This dungeon is unexpectedly difficult, and there is only one NPC, Atum, so he may have the strength of a Tier 3 Extraordinary.

However, these NPCs in dungeons can continue to grow. When Gu Meng isn't paying attention, they will act according to their preset personalities, making them not much different from real people...

The power of creation in the Book of Ancestors is indeed powerful. In the future, it will be able to do even more things when creating transdimensional instances, and it may even be able to generate high-sequence powerhouses.

The high sequence is no different from many gods in mythology, so Gu Meng alone can play the role of an entire pantheon.

Of course, that's a long way off; it's completely impossible right now.
