Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

The vital points she targeted had no effect whatsoever.

It was as if the previous attack had never happened.

"Stop, mercenaries. You haven't harmed any humans, and I don't want to harm you either."

Caesar shook his head slightly and said in a calm tone, "Your ability... is very special. To capture you, I'm afraid I'll have to use some of my real skills, but that... could accidentally kill you."

The hooded girl did not reply and remained silent.

She glanced back slightly out of the corner of her eye and saw that Fan Xiao had already run far away and was almost at the entrance to hell at the lighthouse.

Seeing this, she no longer hesitated and her body disappeared from the spot.

Caesar frowned slightly.

Bang! The huge lump of flesh with eyes that had been cut open by the hooded girl suddenly exploded.

The splattered flesh expanded like balloons, clump together, and then flowed across the ground like a fluid at an incredibly fast speed, instantly covering a large area of ​​the surrounding land.

Suddenly, a lake of flesh and blood appeared on the earth, constantly writhing.

Countless giant arms sprouted from the lake, stretching high out of the ground with palms the size of houses, their palms covered with countless eyes.

Some kind of pollution, some kind of distortion, spread through the line of sight all around at once.

Fan Xiao and the others, who were running, suddenly stopped.

My body... isn't responding to my commands.

Not only that, Fan Xiao looked down and discovered that four arms had grown out of his ankles, digging deep into the ground and gripping the soil, hindering him from taking a step.

At the same time, he felt an itchy sensation in other parts of his body.

It was as if his entire body was about to sprout alien organs... no, not as if.

If he doesn't take remedial action, this feeling will immediately become a reality.

"Kaiser the True King... Hellish monster... The same mutated ability!?"

Fan Xiao was very surprised and taken aback.

However, time did not allow him to continue his doubts.

He bit his tongue hard, stimulating his senses through intense pain, forcing himself to regain control of his body, and then quickly took out a short blade from his storage space, severing the four arms that had grown from his ankles.

The real pain of losing his arm struck him, and he frowned slightly before rushing toward the entrance to hell that glowed with white light.

Other players also mustered their willpower and began self-harm, forcibly severing parts of their deformed bodies before regaining their mobility and scrambling to jump into the white light at the entrance to hell.

At that moment, the hooded girl also appeared at the entrance.

As soon as she appeared, she was attacked; the flesh on her slender legs began to writhe.

She quickly made several cuts on her legs, gouging out the deformed flesh, and jumped into the white light together with Fan Xiao, who happened to have arrived at the entrance.

At the last moment, the two turned around and looked at the sky behind them.

Then Caesar the True King shot over like an arrow and flew into the white light.

However, despite the light, he did not successfully enter Hell; instead, he passed directly through the white light and appeared in the background.

On the other side, in the dimly lit hellish space, Fan Xiao and the others were transferred to a scorched, barren land overgrown with weeds.

No one spoke immediately; instead, they all looked around warily, preparing to activate various props.

However, after looking around, he still couldn't find the true King Caesar.

This left all the players stunned.

Vanshaw reminded them, "The true King Caesar did not come in... or rather, he failed to come in."

Without waiting for other players to ask what he meant, he continued, "The last thing I saw him do was fly straight towards the white light at the entrance and be enveloped in it. In that situation, it was impossible for him to back out on his own. So, there's only one possibility left—he didn't want to come in, but he couldn't."

After saying that, he gripped the short blade tightly and stabbed at the spot on his body where he felt something strange.

After all the deformed flesh was removed, his injuries healed quickly with the help of the prop "Blood Duke".

Other players followed suit, also starting to carve out their own flesh and blood, and then taking out healing potions to consume.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fan Xiao released the blood in his body as if it were free, forming a huge blood-red sphere that enveloped all the players, including himself.

He said, "The aberrations of the hellish monsters seem to spread through mediums such as sound, smell, and sight."

"Those of you who have defensive items, use them."

As they spoke, a series of explosions echoed across the desolate land, and one after another, twisted monsters emerged from beneath the ground.

Seeing this, the other players quickly activated their defensive items.

Some items can only protect oneself, while others are area-of-effect. In the end, a total of 5 group protection items overlapped, creating a powerful defensive layer.

Sound, smell, and light were all kept out of the defensive perimeter.

A few seconds later, the overlapping defensive circles began to vibrate.

A monster is approaching and is launching a physical attack from outside.

Seeing this, Nei Long frowned and reminded Fan Xiao, "We tried the method of overlapping defensive items when we came in, but it only lasted for less than ten minutes."

"When those monsters gather in a certain number, their mutation abilities seem to be able to stack up and amplify their power, reaching a level where they can interfere with us without a medium."

Chapter 422 The Destruction of the World

"Now is not the time to worry about how long we can hold out!"

The handsome young man said with a gloomy face, "King Caesar... what's going on!? How come his abilities are the same as those of monsters from hell? He... he wouldn't happen to be a monster that escaped from hell, would he?"

"He's not like a monster."

The hooded girl glanced at the wound on her leg, then looked up and frowned, reminding her, "He's strong! He didn't use his full strength just now; he held back against us, probably because we've never killed an ordinary human before."

"...You held back?"

The handsome young man paused, then said, "If we hadn't immediately injured ourselves and run away, we probably would have died out there. Is that considered holding back? Uh... now that you mention it, his aberration attack seems to be... not even in the same league as these monsters'?"

"Could it be that the monsters here were actually created by the true King Caesar?"

The samurai-headed youth offered his guess: "So the monster army inherited a low-end version of the mutation ability?"

"Wasn't Caesar the true king supposed to protect the survival of humanity? Why did he create these hellish monsters? To make his job more difficult?"

Nei Long was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

"How would I know?" The samurai-headed youth shook his head. "Maybe he's the dungeon boss. Hell was created specifically to increase the difficulty for players."

"No! King Caesar clearly gained the authority to attack us just now." The handsome young man reminded everyone, "If he were the dungeon boss, we would have died at his hands just now. There's no reason for him to hold back against us."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Fan Xiao suddenly said, "Whether the dungeon boss kills players or not, in a way... well, depends on its mood. If it doesn't want to kill, it will naturally choose to hold back."

"How did you know?" the handsome young man asked.

"you do not need to know."

Fan Xiao refused to answer and got down to business, saying, "I'll remind you again, when King Caesar rushed toward the entrance to Hell just now, he didn't show any hesitation or anything like that."

"It's not that he didn't want to come in, but... he was rejected by hell and couldn't get in."

"So... he doesn't have the authority to control this dark space?" the handsome young man interjected, then asked, "So the monsters inside are most likely unrelated to him?"

"Hmph, compare the similarities between his abilities and those of these monsters. Do you even believe that kind of judgment yourself?"

The samurai head curled his lip.

For a moment, everyone was puzzled and turned their attention to Fan Xiao.

"Don't look at me, I have too little information and I don't have any conclusions either."

Fan Xiao brought up another matter, saying, "Since we can't get an answer anyway, let's focus our attention on other things."

"For example... don't you think now is a good opportunity to slay monsters and stop hell from invading?"

"After all, we're already here."

"How can we possibly kill all these monsters?" the samurai leader frowned. "We'll definitely die first from the mutations they create!"

"I don't think there's anything to worry about on that point."

Fan Xiao analyzed, "We are only C-level players, so we really can't handle so many monsters. Therefore... I guess we only need to kill a certain number of monsters, and the Hell Invasion will probably stop. This level of difficulty is more in line with our player level."

"...Why should we bother trying to stop Hell from invading? This isn't a dungeon quest at all."

The samurai head objected, saying, "You don't actually believe that hell invading will lead to the destruction of the world, do you?"

"Even if there is destruction, it will probably only destroy the human world at most."

“If it really comes to that, King Caesar… well, this guy’s abilities are so similar to those of the hellish monsters, there’s probably something wrong with him. But besides him, there’s also the Demon King Carmen. Given the Demon King’s attitude, he can’t possibly let these monsters run rampant.”

"We don't need to worry about this."

"We can't just guess whether to believe it or not, can we? Let's just consider it as using our free time to eliminate a threat in advance, how about that? Anyway, you can't go out now, the real King Caesar is guarding outside."

Fan Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Although the time flow between Hell and the outside world is close to 1:15, but... think about the way Caesar did things. In order to protect humanity, he even stopped his best friend from avenging his wife."

"If he can go to this extent, he certainly won't let us 'demon race' who have intruded into the human world go."

"I reckon... he might be waiting outside for days and nights, just waiting for us to walk right into his trap."

"...Maybe not?"

Nelong, not wanting to fight the monsters of hell, retorted, "The true king Caesar's abilities are the same as those of the hellish monsters. This guy is clearly suspicious! His stance of protecting humanity... might just be a facade."

"Don't forget, there is another demon king outside, Carmen, who is on par with the true king Caesar. Perhaps... the demon king is stronger than the true king, so Caesar usually needs to disguise himself to avoid fighting the demon king."

"Moreover……"

He paused, then continued, "Even if your guess is correct, and we can stop Hell from invading by killing only a portion of the monsters, but... isn't that ridiculously difficult to do?"

"Don't worry, I have a strategy."

Fan Xiao said, "Although there are many monsters in Hell, as long as we stay together to fight, the number of monsters we face per unit of time and space is limited."

"With 14 players sharing the aberration damage from these limited monsters, we should be able to hold out for seven or eight minutes."

"When we can't hold on any longer, we'll deploy the defensive barrier again and take some medicine to recover."

"Once the defense perimeter is about to collapse, we'll put away the items and begin the second round of annihilation to clear out the nearby monsters... and repeat this process. It shouldn't be long before the invasion of Hell is completely stopped."

"I still think it's a bit too risky!"

The young man with the samurai-style haircut frowned and said, "Your method is theoretically feasible, but in practice, who can guarantee that they can survive the distortion damage every time?"

"I don't believe in the nonsense that the world will end. Instead of fighting these monsters, we should move around every few minutes and redeploy our defensive items."

"While this approach also carries risks, it's far less risky than your plan!"

Only when monsters gather in a certain number can their combined "abnormal damage" bypass sound, sight, smell, and other media, directly ignoring defenses and eroding the player.

So as long as you don't stay in the same place for too long and keep moving around, you can stay in Hell for as long as you want with the combination of the five defensive items.

Of course, this is only theoretically feasible.

In actual operation, many problems will be encountered - for example, when moving positions, some players may not be able to withstand the distortion and will die directly.

If the player who dies happens to be the one with a group defense item... if this kind of accident happens a few more times, they will be wiped out.

"or……"

The handsome young man stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Let's vote. Whether it's fighting or moving to another location, we'll vote, and the minority will obey the majority."

"No, this matter cannot be voted on."

Fan Xiao retorted, "We're just idling around anyway, and we don't dare go out for the time being. Wouldn't it be better to resolve a potential crisis ahead of time?"

"Whether you agree or not, I'm going to fight anyway, and by the way..."

He pointed to the hooded girl: "I've already spoken to her, and she'll cooperate with me to eliminate the monsters."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the hooded girl.

The girl didn't reply, which was taken as tacit agreement.

No one expected that the team's strongest fighter would be recruited by Van Mida without anyone noticing.

This is getting a bit troublesome...
