Chapter 359: Players Filled with a Sense of Crisis

The mere aura alone,

was enough to make ordinary ninja lose the will to resist.

Even Marine Admirals, Whitebeard, and others felt their hair stand on end involuntarily when they sensed the aura emanating from the Evil God.

Xieshen Light!

A black-red halo lit up, shrouding the Evil God within it,

and the stone-statue Evil God, which blotted out the sky and sun, looked like a deity, a mixture of the sinister and the sacred.

In the vast area bathed by the Xieshen Light,

the surviving civilians and ninja had their eyes gradually turn vacant, and like devout believers, they prostrated themselves before the Evil God that was about to devour their lives.

With every act of worship,

the Xieshen Light grew more vigorous; it suddenly raised its thick arms and reached toward the earth below,

and five concentrated energy spheres, constantly flickering with black-red electric arcs, appeared at its fingertips.

Boom.

Five Xieshen beams, like the long, narrow, crazily growing fingernails of the Evil God, swept across the entire Land of Hot Water.

The Land of Hot Water, which had not been completely swallowed even after being ravaged by countless Abyss Evil Gods, fell completely within the five beams of the Evil God's true form.

Towns were melted in an instant,

and the Konoha village at the very center, with its Level 9 Defense Wall equipped with the 【Fire Blade】 trait—even for the strongest creature that might appear in the ninja world's plotline, the Ten-Tails' strongest Tailed Beast Bomb, which could destroy the world, it would be very difficult to breach Konoha's defenses.

But now, under the strafing of two consecutive Xieshen beams, it was like butter being continuously sliced by a red-hot Blade, rapidly dissolving and shattering.

Countless defensive Fire Blades shot out from the Magic Circle of the Defense Wall, but they were too weak to have any effect.

"Is this a Dark Gold-level monster..."

Gulp.

Samui of Cloud Village swallowed hard, her full chest heaving violently; she had the same feeling she had when she first faced a Tailed Beast back when she was still weak.

That indescribable, insurmountable sense of oppression.

It was manifested vividly in the Evil God.

"The Navy Intelligence Department has conducted extensive research..."

Tsuru could not hide her shock, and after calming herself, she said: "Even if Im and Orochimaru could reach a combat power of around 【3000】 at the Lv. 30~Lv. 39 stage, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to contend with this Dark Gold-level monster, right?"

After the game update, Marine Headquarters allocated a portion of funds to the Navy Intelligence Department for extensive research, and the Combat Power Ranking related to strength was a key focus of their research and analysis.

The combat power of an ordinary monster is generally 10 times its own level.

The combat power of an Elite monster is 20 times, a Commander Monster is 30 times, and a Lord-level monster is 50 times.

"The Evil God's displayed combat power is likely close to 【4000】, a full hundred times its own level. Is this the combat power of a Dark Gold monster?"

Tsuru took a deep breath, a sense of powerlessness rising in her as well.

The higher the top-tier players in the Samsara Game, the more clearly they understood the terrifying strength of Pollution Monsters.

Furthermore,

Marine Headquarters already knew from information obtained in the game that the situation of Pollution Monsters descending into reality would become more and more frequent.

The Evil God's attack on Konoha was just the beginning.

However,

human combat power is very weak; Devil Fruit, Ninjutsu, Sword Skill, Zanpakuto, Superpower... even if trained to the peak, at most, it only reaches the level of Elite and Commander Monsters.

To contend with Lord-level ones, the Samsara Game is their hope.

Equipment, Forging, Reinforcement, gems...

These are all means that can allow them to become strong rapidly and possess the ability to contend with Pollution Monsters.

But alas, the Reward Points consumed are too vast; one must risk their life to fight, and thinking of cowering in a corner is simply impossible.

"All Navy personnel, do not worry about logistics, use your full strength to take down this Dark Gold Evil God!" Tsuru's order was quickly deployed to all Navy players.

The 【Marine Headquarters】 Alliance warehouse was opened, and all potions had their exchange permissions unlocked, free of charge, so the Navy under the Alliance could exchange them freely during the battle.

The Navy troops, who had originally shown signs of flagging due to excessive consumption, were suddenly revitalized after receiving the potion replenishment.

The more powerful the monster, the richer the drops; this is the rule of the Samsara Game.

"Cloud Village players, don't let the other-world Navy snatch the first kill of the Dark Gold monster; that would be a disgrace to the ninja world!"

Raikage Ai had Lightning Release chakra covering his entire body, condensed into the highly lethal 【Lightning Release Armor】,

and roared at his surroundings.

Hearing the command, the Cloud Village players all revealed their strongest postures.

Boom.

Two mountain-like Tailed Beasts landed on the ground, splashing up clouds of dust.

The Eight-Tails controlled by Killer Bee and the Two-Tails controlled by Yugito had long since transformed into Perfect Jinchuriki and possessed game abilities that fit them.

"Yo, what a terrifying opponent, yo. If we slaughter the Evil God, yo, I can exchange for a second head for you, hehe..."

A rap-like tone came from within the Eight-Tails Gyuki.

Killer Bee's own exchanges were not strong,

but he had spent all his Reward Points on the Eight-Tails, exchanging for Japanese ghost-god abilities for the Eight-Tails.

Each of the Eight-Tails' tails could inherit the power of a ghost-god.

First Tail: Shuten-doji! Killer Bee controlled the mountain-like Tailed Beast body and charged toward the Evil God,

and one of the tails suddenly transformed into the appearance of Shuten-doji, spewing out demon flames.

"Go to hell, yo, Evil God!"

The Tailed Beast, which was like a mountain in front of ordinary ninja, landed on the Evil God's shoulder like a flea.

The intensely burning yokai flames covered the Evil God's massive head.

Flames from a great yokai like Shuten-doji are no ordinary mortal fire; although their level is not yet high, they can already easily burn through some high-level Magic Shields.

Even for an Evil God, it couldn't possibly be unscathed, right? As the energy within his body rapidly depleted, Killer Bee did not hold back, continuing to increase the temperature of the yokai flames.

Suddenly,

On the previously motionless Evil God, a more intensely burning black-red flame appeared upon its stone-statue body.

In the blink of an eye, it completely swallowed the yokai flames.

Even Killer Bee, who could not escape in time, was completely scorched by the Evil God's flames.

"Run!"

This was the last sound Killer Bee heard.

Ignoring the agony of his entire body being intensely burned by the evil flames, Killer Bee, who had crashed headlong into a deep pit in the ground, sensed his own body with a vacant gaze.

Was Gyuki burned to death?

No matter how he called out, there was no response from within his body.

To save Killer Bee, Gyuki had been entangled by the Evil God's flames, which not only calcined flesh and blood but could also erode energy bodies and souls, killing him directly at the hands of the Evil God.

"Damn you, you Evil God bastard, yo, I'm going to slaughter you!"

With his sunglasses shattered, Killer Bee revealed his furious eyes and raised his bee-tail-like blade, preparing to charge up again.

Although he had endured cold stares and isolation when he first became a jinchuriki.

And had once resented the Tailed Beast sealed within him, times had changed, and the current Killer Bee had long since come to regard Gyuki as his most important partner.

Raikage Ai grabbed him to stop him and said sternly, "Gyuki has been killed; at your current level, you are at best an Elite player. If you go up there to throw your life away, do you want Gyuki to have died in vain?"
