Chapter 436 - Killed

This was a completely dilapidated world, thoroughly corroded by darkness.

Sewage, bloodstains, and mold were visible everywhere.

Strange sounds echoed through the air.

Like a kind of mad, chaotic music.

Stirring people's thoughts and souls.

Countless bizarre entities twisted and screamed in the music. The terrifying scenes made every player who witnessed them tremble with fear.

Faces filled with endless pain emerged from the putrid-smelling walls. They struggled desperately, but something like cling film bound them tightly.

Only through that thin film could one see faces contorted in agony. They reached out, trying desperately to grab any living thing they could, wanting to drag them into this abyss of suffering.

Crimson blood seeped from the floor, quickly converging into pools.

Many places emitted a pungent odor.

Illusory figures hung from the ceiling, rusty chains piercing their necks and bodies.

Like carcasses suspended in a slaughterhouse.

When someone ran past, they would twist their bodies, their decaying hands reaching down desperately. Trying to break free from the rusty hooks and wires.

Screaming in the pain of the wires tearing at them, yet driven by the desire for living souls and flesh.

Nagase Taku, his legs weak, was running for his life in this dark and terrifying world.

At this moment, his mind was completely blank.

He didn't even dare to waste time crying.

He was so scared that he had lost his wits, driven only by the instinct to escape danger.

Behind him, several wriggling monsters were grinning menacingly, chasing him like a cat toying with a mouse. The monster's body was made of viscous black liquid.

Its distorted features bubbled up and burst like air bubbles. Thousands of mouths laughed, as if mocking Nagase Taku's helplessness.

A pattering sound occasionally broke the silence.

Corpses hanging from the ceiling would drop down. They struggled to get up, staggering as they ran.

As they ran, they emitted sounds of pain.

Nagase Taku, who was running forward relentlessly, had given up thinking.

He was so scared that he was almost neurotic, unable to think normally.

He didn't know where he should run to!!

Looking around, both ends of the corridor were black rooms emitting an ominous aura.

Blood seeped from the doors, outlining chilling bloody characters.

Just getting close, one could feel the eerie and terrifying presence within.

Nagase Taku only dared to run along the corridor, not daring to enter those rooms at all. There were likely terrifying things in the hotel rooms in this strange dimension. The grotesque creature behind him was accidentally released when he tried to hide in a room.

Players staying in the hotel could avoid external threats.

However, the hotel wasn't 100% safe either.

Every hour, players would have ten minutes to be pulled into a hotel in another strange dimension.

Just like a movie Nagase Taku had seen before.

It talked about the conversion between the inner and outer worlds.

Every once in a while, or when certain conditions were met, one would enter the bizarre and terrifying inner world.

Nagase Taku, who had thought he was strong enough, immediately actively looked for weapons and countermeasures, preparing to survive in the hotel. The dungeon designer had clearly left a glimmer of hope for the players.

Nagase Taku found some self-defense items in his room.

Like the dagger he was holding in his hand at this moment. The dagger was stained with indelible bloodstains.

Examined under the light, through the bloodstains, one could see complex and obscure runes carved on the blade of the dagger.

Just looking at it for a few more seconds would cause a stinging sensation in his brain.

Nagase Taku immediately realized that this was a good item.

After observing it with his insight talent.

He learned the dagger's use.

It could not only harm those grotesque creatures but also break some of their locks.

"A divine artifact!!" Nagase Taku was once incredibly excited.

If his room hid such a dagger, then other rooms must also have good things.

Nagase Taku seized the time and quickly opened the other doors.

It wasn't until the spatial shift that Nagase Taku realized what a foolish thing he had done. Those rooms were originally tightly closed.

In the hotel of the other dimension, those rooms were empty.

But after the spatial shift, monsters emerged from those rooms.

Nagase Taku had opened the doors that could trap them out of greed. The creator had designed a twisted human nature challenge.

If those doors hadn't been opened, even with the spatial shift, the threat would have been minimal. The only drawback was that the gains would be small.

During the spatial shift, Nagase Taku saw the corridor walls changing.

So he planned to enter a room to hide.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he came face to face with a grotesque monster.

At that moment, Nagase Taku almost froze, instinctively turning to flee.

Having just acquired a weapon, he was still somewhat excited, thinking he could kill anyone who stood in his way, even a Buddha.

But seeing those monsters emerge one after another from the rooms.

His excitement vanished, and he even considered stabbing himself in the throat with the sword to commit suicide.

It was too terrifying!!

Look at those dead people entangled in wires, the ghostly figures hanging from the ceiling, the monsters in the walls.

And the wriggling monster behind him, with features that looked like a joke.

Nagase Taku just wanted to go home to his mom right now!!

Let the unrealistic idea of becoming stronger go to hell!

His biological instincts caused his brain to secrete a large amount of adrenaline, and his heart beat at an unprecedented speed.

His conscious mind was suppressed by his subconscious, making it difficult for him to think about his current predicament. This was a protective measure by his body. To prevent him from fainting due to excessive fear.

He was running frantically, crying and instinctively screaming in terror.

With a thud, a rotten corpse, hung from the ceiling by a rusty hook, fell down.

Blood flowed from its hollow eye sockets, and it stretched out its decaying, foul-smelling arm towards Nagase Taku.

Nagase Taku instinctively knocked it over, then scrambled back up and continued to run. The prey's terror made the grotesque creatures chasing Nagase Taku even more excited. They accelerated, finally tackling Nagase Taku at a corner. Their slimy bodies easily pinned down the poor unfortunate soul.

Nagase Taku instinctively used the dagger in his hand, desperately stabbing the grotesque monster.

All the mouths on the monster's body let out mournful screams. The next second, it knocked the dagger out of Nagase Taku's hand.

Cruel amusement showed in its disgusting eyes, and its foul-smelling mouth revealed terrifying fangs.

It bit down fiercely, intending to tear its prey apart alive.

Nagase Taku's eyes were wide, and the fear of death made his heart stop beating.

However, a strange bell rang. The black-spotted, putrid-smelling wall seemed to be smoothed by some force.

Returning to its normal appearance.

It was still dark and oppressive, very eerie and terrifying.

But it no longer had the same horror as before. The grotesque creature also dissipated like smoke.

"I survived!"

Nagase Taku lay on the black carpet as if exhausted, his eyes vacant.

Like a loli who got on a bus and played games with countless burly men until her eyes rolled back.

He was completely limp, not even wanting to move a single finger. Tick-tock!!

Tick-tock!1

The sound of a clock turning came.

Nagase Taku looked around but saw no clock.

But he knew that time had started counting again.

In another hour, he would start the great escape again. To survive was luck; if not, those unfortunate souls hanging from the ceiling or embedded in the walls would be his fate.

Nagase Taku lay for a few minutes before struggling to get up.

He found that his room was not far away. The place where he lay was precisely the corridor of the rooms he had previously pried open.

Nagase Taku suddenly felt an urge to cry.

If the hotel's spatial shifts always brought him back here,

It meant that for the next escape, he would have to face those monsters directly.

One mistake, and he would be torn apart by those monsters.

Nagase Taku wanted to leave, but he saw several staff members in red uniforms walking from the depths of the corridor. They pushed a dining cart, wearing eerie smiles.

Nagase Taku shivered and quickly walked towards his room.

As he approached the door, it opened automatically.

Nagase Taku walked straight in. The door closed automatically behind him.

As if an invisible person was closing the door for him. Those staff members in red uniforms, seeing him enter the room, showed a hint of malice on their faces.

But they didn't dare to open the door directly and drag Nagase Taku out. After lingering for a while, they left.

One of the guest rules was to stay away from staff members in red uniforms.

Once in contact with those guys, problems were likely to occur.

Of course, if one was in desperate straits, perhaps those staff members in red uniforms could help one escape danger.

Nagase Taku guessed that the struggle between these factions might also be the key for players to survive.

After checking through the peephole and confirming that they had left,

Nagase Taku, who was bracing the door with his body and still holding the dagger, finally relaxed and let out a long breath.

Nagase Taku's hotel room was exquisitely decorated.

It was opulent, a stark contrast to the oppressive, terrifying hotel corridor, as if from a different world. The gigantic crystal chandelier was the sun of this world. The crimson carpet was the grassland of this world.

It was incredibly spacious.

A soft, massive leather sofa was placed in the center of the room. The huge television screen almost occupied an entire wall.

Gold-plated faucets, even the toilet was inlaid with sparkling diamonds.

Such luxury.

If Nagase Taku hadn't entered this game, even if he worked his entire life, he might not have had such treatment.

Yet, Nagase Taku felt no joy.

Such luxury could be deadly.

Don't think that just because there's a ten-minute deathmatch every hour, the room is safe.

It's only relatively safe. The room is also full of dangers. This hotel was like an arena that twisted human nature to the extreme.

Creating various illusions to mask the horror within.

Once players let their guard down, it would suddenly appear, terrifying them to the point of collapse.

Nagase Taku did not sit on the sofa, nor did he turn on the television.

Once the television had been turned on, no one would want to turn it on again. The figures on the screen would always stare at him with an eerie gaze.

If he wasn't careful, the television would silently approach him as he sat on the sofa.

When he first checked in, Nagase Taku had intended to use this time to rest properly.

But he dozed off, and when he opened his eyes again, he found the huge television screen right in front of him. The characters inside were pressed against the screen, staring intently at him with chilling eyes. The screen was like a piece of glass separating the two sides, and the grotesque entities were pressed against the glass, screaming and wailing for the prey they couldn't reach.

Nagase Taku almost had a heart attack from the fright.

He quickly turned off the television according to the rules. This time, he didn't even dare to sit on the sofa again. This hotel was full of bizarre occurrences.

One slight misstep, and it would be eternal damnation. Takashi Nagase stood behind the curtains by the window of his hotel room, peering outside through a gap.

He pondered whether he should escape the hotel.

Enveloped in darkness, even the light emitted from the window couldn't reach far, quickly being swallowed whole by the profound gloom. Takashi Nagase even doubted if that darkness was truly just darkness.

Suddenly, Takashi Nagase's pupils sharply constricted.

He saw a flickering black-and-white figure appear on the street.

It was as if a character from an old, static-filled television had walked into reality.

Expressionless.

Carrying a blood-soaked burlap sack, it emerged from the street's shadows and walked directly into the hotel. Takashi Nagase was about to wonder what that thing was doing?

Why did it come out of the darkness?

A deafening roar erupted from the hotel entrance. The entire room shook.

It was as if an earthquake had suddenly struck. Takashi Nagase watched in horror as the crystal chandelier above him swayed violently and cracks appeared in the walls.

Behind the cracked walls was a crimson, flesh-like substance. Takashi Nagase could even see those things Creep ing, like organs.

A piercing bell rang, signaling the transition between two timelines.

It had just ended! How could it be so fast?!

"No!"

Takashi Nagase, who didn't know what was happening, looked at the mottled, blood-stained walls and the suddenly old, mold-covered furniture, and instinctively cried out in despair.

He sprinted towards the room door. The strange entities he had released were right next to his room.

If his escape route was blocked, he would truly be finished.

It wasn't just Takashi Nagase's situation. The fitness enthusiast and the other surviving players were also terrified, their legs turning to jelly. They had just survived the bizarre spacetime they were pulled into every hour.

And now they were being pulled in again.

"Run!" The fitness enthusiast, being quite responsible, grabbed two girls who had just fallen asleep, kicked two boys awake, and pushed them to leave. The advantage of having many people was that when some slept, others could take turns staying awake to deal with potential crises. Teamwork, while having some initial friction,

As long as they were normal people who wanted to survive, they understood that in this game, only through cooperation could they live.

As for acting irrationally and harming teammates for women, that would be truly foolish!

Living in a modern society with advanced technology, their appetites had long been spoiled by countless beauty filters and AI.

Seeing real-life women, they no longer even had physiological urges.

Who would block their own path to survival for a woman?!

Of course, the fitness enthusiast didn't believe there weren't such fools.

But he would never do such a thing.

Survival was the most crucial thing. The five rushed out of the room.

Behind them, that room gave the illusion of having been steeped in blood for decades.

Bloodstains and mold spots were everywhere, a sight that made one's scalp tingle. The monsters had already emerged from the doors they had opened.

Being a group of five, they had naturally opened far more doors than Takashi Nagase. The bizarre entities watched them with eerie eyes, their charred, twisted mouths splitting open to reveal teeth covered in viscous fluid. They let out joyful screams and lunged at the five. Terrified, the five cried out in distress and immediately ran. The two girls were already tired, and now, scared to the point of a nervous breakdown, they froze in place.

If the fitness enthusiast hadn't yanked them a few times, those two would have been torn apart by the entities.

But their situation wasn't optimistic either. The previous grand escape had consumed a great deal of their physical strength. They hadn't even had time to recover.

Now, even if they gritted their teeth and tried to exert all their effort, they couldn't run anymore.

Even more terrifyingly, as soon as they rounded the corner, they saw another bizarre entity coming from the other direction.

It was charred all over, like a monster covered in tar.

Its dark eyes stared at the players, revealing a look of madness.

Nowhere to go, no way out. The fitness enthusiast and the others watched the monster leisurely approach, falling into despair. This was a dead end!

Even if Jesus came, they would surely die today!

Boom!

A colossal explosion, shaking the entire hotel, rang out. The walls, covered in a translucent membrane, were blown open by the blast.

"Unity, unity, unity, in this dark hour, let those who refuse to be slaves and puppets unite."

"The heavens tremble, and the light of the Emperor envelops all humanity."

"We unite in His name, fearless, and press onward."

"The Imperial banner shall wave in every universe, and the light of the Emperor shall illuminate every human."

"All evil shall ultimately fail."

A resounding hymn rang out, echoing throughout the entire hotel, and even radiating from the hotel to reverberate across the entire city.

It gave courage and strength to the terrified people.

It contained extreme emotion, piercing through the eerie whispers like a spear.

It was as if two powerful wills were clashing.

Countless roars erupted. The bizarre entities screamed and cried. They roared at the sky in fear, venting their malice and resentment. The fitness enthusiast and the others watched all of this in stunned silence. The sudden song and explosion were beyond their expectations and imagination.

A black-and-white figure emerged from the smoke of the explosion.

Several mechanical heads, glowing with a blue eerie light, floated around him, and the loud, penetrating hymn emanated from their built-in loudspeakers. The black-and-white figure flickered, holding a strange, lightning-flickering spear-like weapon.

He pulled the trigger, and a brilliant beam of light burst from the muzzle, igniting or directly melting everything in its path.

Even the monsters found it difficult to withstand such damage, turning to dust in the light beam. The figure simply walked forward, pulling the trigger, and blew everything up. The monsters howled and screamed. Their bodies melted and burned in the bizarre high temperature.

Seeing the figure approach, the fitness enthusiast and the others instinctively took a few steps back. The figure, however, merely glanced at them.

"How rare, still alive."

After saying this, the figure continued deeper into the corridor, and explosions followed one after another. The blood-stained and moldy walls were blasted apart.

Revealing the Creep ing flesh behind them. The fitness enthusiast was terrified by this scene.

It seemed they weren't in a hotel, but rather inside some fleshy organ. This place was too bizarre!

"What do we do?" a girl with pale face and weak legs asked. The others also looked at the fitness enthusiast.

Now, they trusted him greatly, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Follow him." The fitness enthusiast gritted his teeth. "That guy seems to be quite powerful and doesn't show any obvious hostility towards us. Following him might allow us to survive."

The fitness enthusiast knew very well.

With the strength of this small team, it would be too difficult to survive for six more days.

Only one day had passed, and several had already died.

If that black-and-white figure hadn't come, they would probably have lost a few more just to survive tonight. The four exchanged glances and all nodded. They also walked deeper into the corridor.

Bless me!

Bless me!

Any god will do.

As long as you let me live, I will surely worship you diligently from now on.

Worshiping once in the morning, noon, and evening. Takashi Nagase ran towards the direction from which the singing came. The bizarre entities pursued him relentlessly.

Just a moment ago, he had almost died.

If it weren't for the sudden explosion and singing, he would probably be dead by now. Takashi Nagase didn't know who the Emperor was, only that the singing seemed to have a restraining effect on the bizarre entities, and escaping to where the singing emanated from might allow him to survive.

Every few seconds, a massive explosion, powerful enough to shake the entire building, occurred. The corpses fell down in a rush.

But they no longer possessed their previous attack power. They lay prostrate on the ground, crying and screaming amidst the singing.

Occasionally, light would burst forth from the decaying corpses.

Some corpses suddenly burst into flames.

Luminous souls appeared in the flames, then were carried away by some mysterious force. The power of the master behind the singing was unimaginably strong.

It seemed to be forcefully seizing souls from the Chaos Gods.

Angry roars came from behind the fleshy walls.

As if unwilling to lose what it had. Takashi Nagase ran through the falling decaying corpses.

He dared not look back, nor dared he look down.

Just seeing those bizarre things, he would probably never forget them for the rest of his life, becoming a lifelong psychological shadow.

At the end of the long corridor was a dark, ominous black door emanating a strange and unsettling aura. The doorposts were carved with various malicious runes, covered in dense, venomous curses. The door was also covered with a special black film, as if separating two different timeliens. Takashi Nagase, relying on his instinct, knew that the singing was coming from inside.

He gathered all his strength, accelerating like a high-speed train, and charged directly towards the black door, shattering the thin film.

At that moment, Takashi Nagase had a peculiar feeling.

It was as if time and space had been stripped from him.

He was free.

Both his soul and flesh gained an unprecedented sense of freedom.

But that was only a fleeting sensation; the next second, his soul was bound within his flesh, leaving him with a feeling of loss and discomfort. The bizarre entities did not cross the black doorway.

Instead, they were blocked on the other side.

It seemed their creator didn't particularly appreciate their disturbance. Takashi Nagase stood on a strange wasteland, where everything he saw was black.

Black rivers, black trees, black mountains, even the screaming monsters were completely black. The sky held stars that seemed within reach, vast and exuding a desolate aura.

How bizarre this spacetime was. The wasteland stretched endlessly, and Takashi Nagase vaguely felt that this place seemed to have no end.

Even if he walked to the end of time, he wouldn't be able to leave this wasteland. Takashi Nagase turned and looked around, only to see a magnificent black palace situated in the distant sky.

Angry roars emanated from there.

A terrifying aura permeated from it, incredibly ancient, countless times older than the birth of the universe and the origin of time.

But now it was filled with rage, for its majesty had been challenged.

"There's still one left outside!"

A mysterious voice sounded, and before Takashi Nagase could react, he was suddenly pulled by a force.

His vision went black, and he was pulled into a shield.

His hazy eyes refocused. Takashi Nagase saw the five players who had previously grouped together, and the black-and-white figure. The black-and-white figure held a sphere in its hand, and the beam of light forming the shield emanated from the sphere. The singing also came from several floating loudspeakers, crafted into humanoid skulls, orbiting the black-and-white figure.

"You guys!" Takashi Nagase pointed at them, his eyes filled with confusion. That black-and-white figure was flickering, surrounded by various human heads; it clearly wasn't a good person!

How could those players be with it?

And what was with that singing?

"Stay here. Don't ask any useless questions. It's merely my duty to provide you with shelter to the best of my ability," the black-and-white figure said indifferently. "You don't need to know why! You'll be able to go back soon."

With that single sentence, Nagase Taku and the gym enthusiast, along with other players, were silenced, unable to ask any questions. The other party apparently didn't want to tell them what was happening!

They could only vaguely sense that they seemed to be caught up in an extraordinary storm.

Divine War!

A term from games, TV shows, and novels suddenly surfaced in Nagase Taku's mind.

Such wars would erupt when gods contended for domains. The faction to which the black-and-white figure belonged was clearly an opposing force to the creator of the City of Distortion.

Such a terrifying storm was beyond the imagination of a minor character like him.

Nagase Taku felt a sense of powerlessness. The world's mystery and absurdity directly shattered his previous worldview. The secrets hidden in the universe were far more numerous and incomprehensible than he had imagined.

"They're here," the black-and-white figure flickered, transforming into the appearance of a handsome young man. The man was Scholar-Litte. The black-and-white figure who wasn't hung up was shredded by him and made into a disguise.

Using this disguise, he quietly approached the hotel, then launched an attack, breaking through the entrance and entering the target's domain world.

Litte hadn't expected these new players, instead of fleeing far away, to follow him into the domain of those Strange Stories creators.

He could only offer these guys shelter.

After all, they were living people, and it would be a bit pitiful if they were just swallowed by the domain.

Moreover, the barrier of the Geller field was enough to protect them.

Nagase Taku carefully examined the man's appearance and immediately felt a surge of fear. This man was precisely the player who had entered the beginner's dungeon with them earlier.

Like him, he chose to be a lone wolf and didn't act with other players. The gym enthusiast and the other players were also stunned. They never expected that the person who could tear apart anomalies with bare hands and kick the masterminds behind the Strange Stories was once a beginner player, just like them.

"How is that possible?!" a girl instinctively blurted out, "How can you be a player?"

Litte didn't answer them, instead, his gaze was solemn as he looked into the distance.

Across the boundless wasteland, plumes of dust rose.

Deafening roars and the sound of hooves hitting the ground mingled together. Those monsters were so terrifying that no human language or words could describe their existence. They were unimaginable evils.

All the madness of a lunatic couldn't describe even a fraction of them. They swarmed forward, trampling the earth.

Rushing in with a rumble, they crashed against the shielding barrier. The Geller field redefined the space it encompassed, establishing a curtain that separated the Warp and the material universe. The forces leveraged by Warp entities found it difficult to break through the Geller field.

It was like how purely physical bullets couldn't penetrate a psyker shield. The two complemented each other.

But Litte had no good means to drive away or eliminate these monsters; he could only let them surround him.

Soon, their location became a small, isolated island, protected by a shielding barrier.

Looking out, all that could be seen were distorted, roaring, anomalous monsters.

"What should we do?" Nagase Taku asked, his voice trembling with a sob. "They'll kill us."

It wasn't that he, as an adult, was cowardly!

It was that those monsters were too terrifying!

Normal people couldn't imagine how enormous those monsters actually were.

Just one eye was the size of a house.

Humans were as tiny as ants in front of those monsters. The gym enthusiast and the other players were the same.

"Soon, you'll be able to go back," Litte looked up at the sky.

Nagase Taku and the others followed his gaze to the sky.

Aside from the monsters emitting strange shrieks, the sky was filled with various bizarre colors, like a kaleidoscope.

Nagase Taku couldn't fathom what else could rescue them from these hordes of monsters.

But the next second, the sky erupted in a brilliant flash of light, as if something had silently exploded.

A colossal golden two-headed eagle appeared in the colorful sky. Then, the sky was torn apart.

A tremendous wolf howl echoed.

Nagase Taku watched in stunned silence as a wolf head, larger than a planet, emerged from the rift, its cold eyes carrying a chill that could freeze all things and a killing intent that could make gods tremble.

Countless meteors, accompanied by the deafening wolf howl that resounded across this eerie world, appeared in the sky.

Dense and numerous, trailing fiery tails, they plummeted to the ground like meteorites, unleashing earth-shattering explosions. Towering flames surged upwards, scorching the heavens. The sounds of battle erupted across the wasteland. The gym enthusiast and the others were all dumbfounded!

Such a massive wolf head. The myth of the celestial dog eating the sun was indeed true.

It could probably swallow even a star in one gulp.

Before they could continue their display of shock, system screens appeared before them.

**Emergency detected, dungeon mission ended, beginner trial passed.**

With these words, pillars of light emerged from the void, enveloping Nagase Taku and the other players. They only felt a sudden surge of suction, and then they all fell into unconsciousness, losing all sensation.

Litte used the Imperial Player Auxiliary System to bypass the teleportation light pillar.

He let the teleportation light pillar take a monster back to the reincarnation space, to provide some amusement for the reincarnation players. The reincarnation players and the creators behind the reincarnation game were all enemies of the Imperium.

Litte naturally wouldn't refuse to cause trouble for them.

"I can't wait to tear apart a couple of unlucky souls."

Russ, who had received the positioning signal, had been bored for quite some time. The incessant chatter of the Mechanicum forced him to bring his meticulously cultivated hunting pack to hunt gods.

"Those creators of Strange Stories have a unique subtlety in their distortion and alteration of rules. If we could learn and master such knowledge, perhaps the Imperium could reshape the entire universe at will."

Realizing the importance of those Strange Stories-type gods.

Russ had to make the trip himself, to prevent his subordinates from accidentally killing the prey.

Over a hundred special agent teams were dispatched, just to search for the Strange Stories gods. The Strange Stories gods didn't just have one dungeon, nor did they control only one world.

After the war with the Imperium broke out, these gods learned to hide themselves. The Warp is different from the material universe.

Due to the temporal disorder and dimensional chaos, once these gods choose to hide themselves in the Warp, it is very difficult to find them.

Even sending out more Warp ships would be futile, as the probability of finding them would be infinitely close to zero.

Even sending out daemons under the Imperium's command would be of no avail.

Out of helplessness, dispatching player agents became the best option.

Litte's side was the first to pinpoint the locations of the three Strange Stories rule gods. This made Russ, who had been bored for a long time, incredibly excited.

In the Warp, Russ could also fight in his true form. This form, before the Emperor's departure,

He often transformed into a giant wolf to fight against the pawns of the Four Gods and the ancient entities of the Warp.

Using it, it could be said to be quite handy.

With the power of the Holy Emperor, he easily tore open a rift, unleashing his entire army into the domain of the Chaos God. The carefully trained Punisher Primaris Marines, specifically designed to combat gods and punish traitors, descended like fiery meteors to the ground.

Warp domain teleportation is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could send one flying into Warp currents.

Using traditional aerial deployment was the most secure method. The drop pods, deployed into the Chaos God's domain, landed steadily on the ground. The impact was so violent, it was as if the earth itself was shaking.

It created a large crater in the wasteland, and pulverized rock fragments scattered with immense force, causing massive damage. The immense impact force was transferred to the hatch by the transmission system, and the studs originally installed on the frame suddenly loosened and vibrated violently. The hatch flew out abruptly, slicing through or swatting away all the surging giant beasts, finally embedding itself into the ground. The Primaris Marines, who had long been sharpening their blades, entered the battlefield with excited roars.

Anti-Warp bolters, black hole grenades, and melta-lasers instantly exploded within the monster horde.

Weapons covered in flickering arcs and ethereal light were especially conspicuous in the dim world. They were swift, efficient, and coordinated. The airborne Primaris Marines quickly established a bridgehead, securing a foothold.

They set up temporal devices and lighthouses, stabilizing the chaotic Warp currents and establishing stable teleportation channels for the main force to enter. Titan Destroyers, Knight mechs emerged from tall teleportation gates, along with vast tank formations and more.

Before long, a continuous stream of Imperial forces established their positions and advanced towards the gods' palaces.

A brutal slaughter erupted.

Imperial soldiers and the Chaos God's minions fought to the death.

But the Imperium clearly had the upper hand, and the enraged god watched its minions retreat steadily, quickly losing most of its territory.

Angry roars became more frequent, but the colossal wolf head merely stared at the palaces, waiting for its prey to show itself.

Just like a wild wolf crouching at a rabbit's burrow, waiting for the rabbit to peek out.

Each region has its own reincarnation space.

Reincarnation spaces generally have public and private areas. The private area is where one receives dungeon rewards and purchases official enhancements. The public area, on the other hand, is the trading zone.

Some players sell items brought out from dungeon worlds, various rare pieces of information, and some even provide catering services.

Of course, there are also some female players who offer gray services.

Nagase Taku had a knack for gathering intelligence.

Soon after being teleported back, he had already collected a good deal of common knowledge.

Only this time, he no longer acted as a lone wolf, but formed a small team with the gym enthusiast and others. They all received high evaluations in the beginner dungeon of the City of Distortion, and the rewards they obtained were quite good.

Nagase Taku suspected that the mysterious player had helped them modify their evaluations.

But that would be too incredible.

If the reincarnation game was so mysterious and powerful, and the other party could even modify its dungeon evaluations,

How terrifying would that be!

But considering that the other party dared to attack the creator of the City of Distortion, such a thing didn't seem impossible.

"I heard that the administrators have all appeared," the gym enthusiast strolled around the public area and brought back even more explosive news. "Something big might be happening."

Hearing this, Nagase Taku and the others exchanged glances.

It must have been caused by that mysterious player.

What was the other party's background?

Why could they provoke all the administrators to mobilize!
