Chapter 1510: Ancient Gods' Delusion
Shatter the void!
Yin-Yang Killing Tribulation!
Two fourth-rank Secret Arts erupted from different directions, striking the Elemental Lord.
Bang!
Pfft!
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, not only him, countless people unleashed their strongest strike!
In an instant, countless damage hit the Ancient God King's HP, reducing 55.78% of his HP down to about 52% in one go.
Just Xiao Feng's personal burst of damage accounted for nearly half!
"When it drops to around 30%, I'll withdraw from combat, reset the state of the Killing Tribulation Sword Sheath, re-stack Endurance. Then at 25% HP I'll go all out, see if I can instantly kill the boss."
Xiao Feng thought.
The Elemental Lord's first attack after breaking protection dealt 27.7%, giving him a great expectation point; he could completely replicate this operation.
Apart from the Desert God Step having a longer cooldown, all other buffs can cool down within 60 minutes and are now usable.
In fact, he has another means to burst forth.
That is the seven-day cooldown special effect of the Heavenly Dao Duster, "Three Thousand Great Dao".
However, this effect is somewhat absurd; it does not distinguish friend from foe, sometimes harming allies and even healing enemies. In such a situation with extremely many people, he dare not use it recklessly.
"Ignorant humans, still resisting stubbornly..."
"The great Ancient God clan still has many means; if you submit now, past offenses can be overlooked..."
"Otherwise, you'll regret it too late."
The Elemental Lord started muttering again, the Ancient Gods' Whisper buff trying to afflict everyone.
However, with the blessing of the Frozen Ice Divine Kingdom, everyone is immune this time.
The crowd steadily output; the strong approached to attack the boss's main body, while the weaker continued to surround the tentacles, dealing damage to accumulate contributions.
In fact, not killing the huge tentacles is currently the best choice, because killing them would heal the boss; as long as their number does not exceed 10,000, leaving them alone is fine.
However, considering the huge tentacles will actively chase and attack players, not killing them would be troublesome. Moreover, killing them grants everyone a contribution reward, which is also meaningful.
Therefore, Xiao Feng did not stop others.
The Elemental Lord's HP began to steadily drop; with Xiao Feng's two abnormal output accounts, even if the Ancient God King kept healing, they could still reduce about 1% of his HP per minute.
Ten minutes later, the boss's HP reached the 40% milestone.
Xiao Feng's main body was being chased by a tracking wind-type ultimate; seeing the HP, he shouted via Xiao Fa Shen Hao: "Everyone spread out a bit, there might be a new ultimate skill!"
Many people were immersed in output, not noticing the boss's HP line; hearing this reminder, they hastily retreated a distance.
Some savvy players had already retreated beyond 300 kilometers.
Soon, the 40% HP line was broken, and with his burst, it dropped directly to around 39.5%.
At this moment, the Ancient God King indeed had new movements!
"Hehehe..."
"Looks like I have to get serious..."
"Foolish humans, feel the pain experienced by the god-kings of all clans in ancient times..."
"This is the twilight of the gods, the end of the world; you will ultimately perish..."
Accompanied by his low voice, a ripple quickly spread in all directions.
The nearest Xiao Feng only felt a headache, as if being pricked by needles.
Looking around, many nearby players had turned red-named!
"What's going on?"
"Stop! Stop quickly!"
"Ah, what the hell, why are you hitting me!"
A chaotic noise came from around.
Someone had just been chanting a big move; as that ripple spread, 50% of the surrounding people became hostile red-named, directly losing a large chunk of HP, and some were instantly killed.
Such incidents are not uncommon; across the battlefield, many people were at this moment hit by friendly-range skills.
Xiao Fa Shen's sidekick Xing Yun Miao's face drastically changed: "The boss's skill is called 'Delusion', it's a charm-type skill; I see you are red, and the boss has turned into a green friendly unit!"
Her status bar showed a 'Delusion' lasting up to 12 hours.
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng, who was nearest to her, was not deluded; both saw each other as red-named.
Xiao Feng saw that his main body and No. 2 clone were also deluded; only Xiao Fa Shen was unaffected.
In this situation, he could even fight himself!
Looking closely at the debuff description, this state not only changes allegiance but also heals the boss!
As long as a deluded person deals output, no matter how much, it will be converted into the Elemental Lord's HP!
He immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, pay attention to your own status! Those afflicted with Delusion should retreat and cluster together; those not afflicted should cluster nearby, avoid friendly fire!"
Obviously, the Delusion state is meant to reduce the players' fighting force.
As long as the total number of people besieging the boss decreases, the pressure on him will greatly diminish, possibly even allowing him to slowly heal.
Moreover, if the nearby population is less than 1 billion, the Ancient God King can shatter the void and flee directly, which is also something nobody wants to see.
Therefore, those deluded cannot leave the combat zone; they can only choose a relatively safe spot within the zone to temporarily go AFK for 12 hours.
Xiao Feng's command was quickly obeyed; everyone temporarily stopped output and changed positions.
However...
The terrifying part is, the tentacles didn't stop!
Charmed players see the boss and tentacles as green names, unable to attack them, and can even heal them.
But the tentacles can still kill them!
The Elemental Lord's skills will still inflict terrifying damage on them!
In this situation, if they do not withdraw from the 10,000‑kilometer battlefield zone, they can only keep running, dodging those tentacles.
And the consequence of running may make the situation even more chaotic.
"Hahahaha……"
The Ancient God let out a low, smug laugh.
"Weep, struggle……"
"You only have the chance to wail……"
"The Ancient God Clan will once again rule this world……"
"This is your final bloody feast……"
Due to the brief chaos, the three major healing sources actually pulled the boss's health bar back up to 40%.
The player army was somewhat chaotic, but only a few minutes later order was restored.
The tentacles' pursuit was too troublesome, so the charmed players had to band together and retreat from the battlefield area.
Fortunately, more and more players are now heading to the border to join this event, with cumulative participants exceeding 3 billion, so there's no need to worry that the number of people around will drop below 1 billion, letting the boss escape.
Xiao Feng did not leave the battlefield; as long as his main body and his clone enter the same combat zone, he cannot disengage.
Otherwise, if he disengages, the clone disappears, and if summoned again it will inherit the main body's charmed state, rendering it unable to do anything.
His main body flew back to catch Xing Yun Miao, and together with his No. 2 clone, he found a sparsely populated spot to idle temporarily.
He has plenty of health, so he doesn't worry about being hit by mistake; even if tentacles approach, they can't keep up with his speed.
However, without Xing Yun Miao's support, Xiao Feng the Divine Mage's output would suffer greatly.
Over the next 12 hours, combat will be much harder, the rate of health loss will clearly slow down, and even five minutes will barely shave off 1%.
