In Tokyo, the dungeon master

Above Tokyo.

The colossal shadow, shrouded in endless darkness, suddenly became ethereal, no longer so stable and solid. Its outline spread out like ink, with countless afterimages overlapping and intertwining, twisting as if defying the laws of nature, and so chaotic that it made one's heart tremble.

His current theoretical design limits are even greater than Gu Meng's, making him unprecedentedly powerful.

Gu Meng originally thought that with his abundant resources, the power of the evil god could develop in a relatively good direction and might have a chance to barely reach the distant level of power, but it would have major flaws. Once it was restrained, it would be greatly weakened, and could be called barely fourth-order or simply third and a half-order.

After all, Gu Meng himself is still at Tier 1, which is not fundamentally different from the last dungeon. If it weren't for the Shikon Jewel as a substitute for the dungeon's magic core, the level 2.5 Demon King Muzan would have been the limit.

The previous Muzan instance was actually preparation for this instance's snowballing effect. First, use 1 unit of funds to gamble to reach 10, then go all in and leverage the authority of the Book of Ancestors to gamble to reach 100. The additional settings of the instance are all to make Zorc stronger.

However, due to the major upgrade brought about by the Chaos Refinement of the Shikon Jewel, it is now worth more than 100.

At the same time, the fusion of Apocalypse and the Great Evil God, coupled with the first wave of despairing fantasies of the world's onlookers, such as "Earth may be doomed," "So there really are evil gods," "The doomsday prophecies of major religions as interpreted by theologians are true," and "Stop destroying our worldview," etc.

The Great Evil God's strength could probably skyrocket to the level of a fifth-tier being, or even higher.

If he were to remain suspended over Japan for a while longer, survive several nuclear bombs, and drive humanity to utter despair, this level of intensity would transform the current situation where only a minority of people who follow Christianity believe in him into a situation where even Christian believers would think that this ancient Egyptian great evil god has some connection with God...

With so many influences overlapping, it's not impossible to rise to the sixth rank in one go, even if you step on your own foot.

This shouldn't be the strength that the Great Evil God Zorc should have, and the despair of the first wave of the apocalypse shouldn't be something that such an early boss should be eating.

However, the events here are still irrelevant to Gu Meng for the time being. He is still calming down in the space-time rift, where he is in a state of being half-step into the fourth rank and ready to break through at any time. When the power of the three Phantom Gods completely dissipates during the dungeon process, and humanity has exhausted all its means, at the critical moment when the evil god is about to carry out a large-scale slaughter, that will be the time for the savior hero to appear, so as to achieve the greatest merit and perfectly advance to the next rank.

I have awakened, I have transcended, I am invincible, I have won MVP!

I also possess the invincible Spear of Longinus, the spear that can slay gods. Who can kill me? Who dares to kill me?

With Gu Meng's experience and methods, with the special attack, throwing this gun could kill a fourth-tier divine powerhouse with a single shot. If it were a fifth-tier being with the Christian system, it could injure them and then apply a debuff. This is already quite cautious. In any case, it cannot be said that Gu Meng was careless.

…………

The evil god remained silent and still, only slightly curling his claws. Within his body, the dark divine power, as violent as the molten core of an asteroid, surged forth, creating a deep and resounding roar between the source of evil power and the path of destruction, like the collapse of a star's shell and the churning of the earth's core.

As humanity's fantasies about the apocalypse overwhelmingly converge on his fantastical form, and given its alignment with the legend of the stars returning to their proper places, its status in the mystical realm has been elevated once again.

Perhaps, its current physical condition could be called the Acquired Doomsday Demon God Body.

As the evil force ran rampant, its form returned to its original, ferocious and terrifying state.

Powered by the vast and unparalleled dark divine power, the surrounding area has become a demonic realm. The space where this instance unfolds is also exceptionally large, all within Zorc's home territory.

In theory, as long as the Star Sea continues to exist, his Demon Realm will continue to expand indefinitely.

Of course, this is only the theoretical limit and it is impossible to achieve in reality because Zorc has not awakened or sublimated. He is not Gu Meng and is still far from it in essence. He seems to be one or two levels away from the high sequence, but in reality, it is the difference between a mortal and a god.

Ultimately, its essence has been defined.

It is merely a derivative of the Book of Ancestors, generated according to Gu Meng's vision. It has only a slight possibility of further development if the dungeon is cleared and Gu Meng is willing to spend a lot of time and energy—in reality, it is impossible, because Gu Meng will prioritize improving himself.

Zorc's power arose from the unexpected destruction of the end times, and had no real foundation at birth. In other words, this overwhelming evil power was still a mirage, and would not last long or continue indefinitely. It would decline once humanity accepted this fact.

But Zorc is indeed strong now, at least for now, there are no signs of decline, and humanity's despair and fear are constantly deepening.

Currently, it is still instinctively absorbing dark magic power and condensing the body of an evil god, showing an upward trend.

It is a vast dark divine power that devours the core of asteroids and the aura of annihilation, refining the evil god's power symbolizing the starry sea from pure dark energy. It is a pure dark magic that condenses a world-destroying demonic body, with surging evil power, born solely for destruction, pure and powerful.

Every bit of the power of the stellar remains and the power of darkness was used for pure destruction, without any waste.

By absorbing enough destructive power, he will complete his own evil transformation, turning his stellar body into the body of an evil god, and better drag Japan into darkness.

This is the path of the Great Dark God. His path, explained using the concept of the Tree of Life, is the path of the Destroyer, using destruction as fuel to burn away falsehood and forge an eternal evil body.

If it were someone like Gu Meng, a peerless grandmaster and genius of the demonic path, when he reached the fifth or sixth rank and was on the same level as Zorc, he would naturally regard him as nothing more than grass. His use of dark magic was too crude, but among dark wielders of the same level, this pure destructive power was already terrifying enough.

Moreover, the ordinary asteroid God Destroyer Star, through the transformation of the Book of Ancestors and the Doomsday Fantasy, used a false form to cultivate truth. Zorc was connected to it and used this star as the main body for this birth. Its physical foundation is already quite extraordinary. Just based on the foundation of this star god, it is considered a strong force among those of the same level in the middle and lower sequences. Muzan's level is only worthy of shining shoes for the Great Evil God.

This really gives off a boss vibe. If Gu Meng were to appear and see this, he would probably criticize the Great Evil God Zorc for wasting his talents, but at the same time, he would also say that the Great Evil God wasn't bad and had already done his best.

"Finally, is this what it means to be born? Thanks to the help of those humans who have fallen into darkness, they summoned me to this place, yearning for my power, which has allowed me to return to the world ahead of schedule... I thank them, and I despise them, so I grant these believers in darkness, these despicable humans, eternal death..."

Zorc finally broke free from the asteroid and immediately inflicted agonizing deaths upon the high-ranking members of the Unity Church.

It still uses the ancient Egyptian language, but due to global surveillance, there are naturally language experts translating what it is saying.

America: "What exactly did the Japanese hide from us?"

South Korea: "The Great Evil God must have Korean blood..."

University of Tokyo: "Damn it, it really was those little devils who did this..."

Japan: "I don't know, nobody told me."

Cart Giant: "I know I was lying... but I didn't expect this evil god to be so stereotypical of a traditional great evil god, actually killing the summoner the moment it descended... So what should we do now? Will it agree to reconcile if I suggest it?"

The two founders of the Guiyi Sect, though claiming Chinese surnames and appearing to be Japanese, were actually genuine Koreans. Shouldn't we kill the Koreans first?

……

At this moment, Apocalypse Star has been drained dry by Zorc, becoming an empty shell in mysticism. It remains suspended in its original position, entangled with the light web of the three Egyptian Gods. These can all be regarded as cutscene CGs or site effect magic, having no practical use.

Concentrating on one point and reaching the pinnacle, Zorc is now more terrifying than the original asteroid. No one can stop it, no one can defy it; it is the Great Cataclysm.

If the weaker Tier 3 units can still be damaged by cannonballs, then even the weakest Tier 4 units are already very difficult to be damaged by missiles. As for Zorc, which is already considered a powerful mid-tier unit, human weapons have no way to deal with it.

Zorc thought so too. It only had a little bit of the setting for the generation of the copy as background information, but it would ignore the unreasonable parts on its own. Just like the Dark True Seed would be blinded by a leaf and could not distinguish the virtual spirit world. Just like Gu Meng disappeared and was forgotten in the human world after he threw himself into the gap.

In reality, the Great Evil God only has a majestic dragon head; frankly, it's just an empty shell of a moron. It will still perform its role according to the script, and it is unaware of Gu Meng's existence.

"...Pharaohs, gods, I have returned, where are you now? What can you protect?... Is it the country called Japan?... Then look at this land of the rising sun, how long will it take for its sinful people to fall into endless darkness..."

Having completed the final calibration of his own evil power and confirmed that the origin of darkness was complete, Zorc, who had pushed himself to a near-critical state, slowly stretched out his giant claws and looked down at the archipelago below, his scarlet evil eyes showing no ripples.

There is no mercy.

No hesitation.

Only kill!
