Chapter 1781 - 1701: Global Player Combination! Reforging Kado!
Finally, Saturday arrived amid everyone’s anticipation.
This was the day Huang Yi had set for the final battle with the King of Hell.
At this moment, most of the world was on holiday; those few still working had taken leave, or companies simply gave the day off, allowing employees to enter the virtual world on this special day.
This was a global ultimate battle where everyone could participate, where everyone could contribute their own little strength, no longer being reduced to useless cannon fodder as before.
At 8 PM in the Eight Eastern District, the online numbers in The Second World reached a peak. Players in time zones where it was midnight stayed up to remain online, and even those who hadn’t logged in for a long time now did so.
The Holy Land of the Elite Dragon Race was crowded with people, countless gathering there, stretching out of sight. People were everywhere, like a bustling festival, with an air filled with a tense excitement.
Suddenly, a magnificent figure soared into the sky, emanating sunlight-like brilliance and aura, illuminating the world and drawing all eyes to it.
This person was Huang Yi.
He was now possessed of Main God-like strength, a Creator-like figure in front of players worldwide, radiating brilliance for everyone to admire.
He surveyed the infinite masses, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless distance, looking into every corner of the world, and he loudly declared—
"Friends, the day of our decisive battle with the King of Hell has arrived, our final confrontation. I am merely a vessel; the main strength comes from each and every one of you. In the past, you could not contend with ultimate strongmen like the King of Hell, but today, each of you will personally battle him through me. You can seek revenge through my hands, witness every strike through my eyes, unleash your powers through my weapons, realize your dreams through me..."
"Fellow members of the Elite Dragon Race, no matter where you are at this moment, the same blood runs through our veins. Your strength is my strength, my glory is your glory. Please heed my call, contribute your strength to me; let us unite, and create miracles!"
His solemn voice, like a System Announcement, reverberated throughout The Second World, piercing every white cloud in the sky, rolling over every ocean wave, echoing in every valley on every continent, sweeping through every city and village, entering the ears of every Elite Dragon Race player!
All players worldwide who had absorbed Huang Yi’s blood received the same System Prompt—
"[System Prompt]: Elite Dragon Race Leader [King of the World·God of Killing] requests to unite with you. Upon uniting, all your attributes will be integrated into him according to a certain proportion until the union ends, temporarily losing these attributes, which will be automatically restored in 30 days. Will you respond to his request for unification?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
...
In that instant, over nine billion people worldwide opened their mouths simultaneously, responding to his request!
Each person transformed into a golden light, swiftly streaking across the sky, rapidly converging toward Huang Yi’s direction on the Central Continent.
Across desolate fields, barren deserts, the deep sea, the dark Abyss... wherever there were players, golden lights soared into the sky, crossing mountains and seas, converging in the same direction.
This was the most spectacular moment in The Second World’s history, over nine billion players disappearing simultaneously, turning into golden light, responding to the call of one person.
Over nine billion rays of golden light covered the sky, turning the heavens a golden yellow. Densely packed golden light, like countless blazing meteors streaking through the sky, converged toward this singular person.
"God of Killing, take my strength and defeat the King of Hell!" a hunter player in a forest on the American Continent muttered to himself, then transformed into a dazzling golden light, swiftly ascending into the sky, vanishing into the clouds.
"Boss, here I come!" In Dragon City on Hero’s Continent, a Hero Guild player exclaimed excitedly to himself, instantly turning into golden light, swiftly crossing the vast ocean, flying toward the Central Continent.
"King of Hell, I’m coming for revenge!" On the Central Continent, once-glorious Heavenly Demon, now with a newly created character, wore Whiteboard Equipment, wielding a blunt long sword, struggling to hack at a level 23 wild chicken, but couldn’t kill it after a long struggle, instead, being chased around by the chicken. Finally, he turned into a weak golden light, flying toward the direction of the Elite Dragon Race Holy Land.
"Brother Yi, do your best!" On a beach of the Flying Fish Archipelago, a player from the Freedom Organization smiled with a blessing, immediately turning into golden light, soaring into the sky.
...
At this moment, the world responded to Huang Yi, even including some reborn Demon Clan players.
They created new characters, with different names from before, their levels pathetically low and strength negligible.
But they still didn’t want to miss this ultimate battle. These days, they’ve joined the Elite Dragon Race, reached the Central Continent, drank the Holy Lake’s blood, wanting to see firsthand who would have the last laugh between Huang Yi and the King of Hell.
Huang Yi stood quietly in the air, surrounded in all directions by dense golden light, leaving no space between heaven and earth, unprecedentedly spectacular!
He had become the center of the world, no matter how distant the golden lights, they would traverse infinite distances, flying into his body.
The golden lights varied in thickness; the stronger the player, the thicker the golden light, the weaker the player, like tiny starlit points.
With every integration of golden light, his body incrementally gained attributes, and the convergence of billions of golden lights turned the added attributes terrifyingly immense.
His strength was skyrocketing at every moment, like ceaselessly flapping the Wings of Slaughter, endlessly increasing in power, unbelievably outrageous.
His attribute panel seemed bugged, with each attribute reaching trillion-levels, too numerous to count...
Health Points easily exceeded 8,000,000,000,000!
Attack Power exceeded 2,000,000,000,000!
Health Points recovery rate: 5,000,000,000 per second!
This magnitude of value is like an engineer tweaking the data, adding as many zeroes as they want.
Such attributes have become so overpowering they’ve lost their meaning!
Any BOSS can be defeated in one move, it’s an Instakill!
Killing a level 1 coyote takes one strike.
Killing a level 300 Black Dragon takes one strike.
Killing a Void God takes one strike.
Killing a Mortal God takes one strike.
No one can withstand such attribute data!
It’s even more exaggerated than those online game ads with "One strike 9999"!
...
All players fused with Huang Yi turned into Huang Yi’s perspective, as if they were him. Although they couldn’t control his character, they shared all sensory experiences.
They could feel the Divine Artifact in Huang Yi’s hand, the cool breeze brushing against the skin, the trembling of muscles, the pain and impact.
They would vividly experience Huang Yi’s battles, every time he was hit back, every slash feedback, every impact they would feel, more real than any television broadcast.
"God of Slaughter, it’s up to you now!" At this moment, a familiar voice rang out. Dao Feng suddenly appeared beside Huang Yi, giving his shoulder a pat.
At that moment, it was as if billions of global players were patted on the shoulder by Dao Feng, as if they were Dao Feng’s brothers, each one excited beyond measure.
Afterward, Dao Feng transformed into an unprecedentedly immense golden light, like a sun suddenly born, covering the world in its glow, engulfing all golden light in the heavens and earth.
Dao Feng is one of the world’s top masters. Once he fused, Huang Yi’s attributes skyrocketed considerably, equivalent to the effects of a massive number of players combined.
"God of Slaughter, may the God of Faith be with you." The Pharaoh, holding the Bible of Faith, also turned into a sun comparable to Dao Feng and flew into Huang Yi’s body, bringing a massive boost to his attributes.
One after another, super first-class masters responded to Huang Yi’s call, turning into suns and moons that dramatically flew into his body, with their terrifying power concentrating on him alone.
They are idols of countless global players, leaders with immense influence, superstars and tycoons in the real world, yet now willing to become a part of Huang Yi.
As the number of fusions increased, Huang Yi suddenly discovered a peculiar phenomenon—
Inside him appeared a black and white aura, like a galaxy, densely packed black and white light spots resembling countless stars, growing ever larger.
Every golden light melded into his body, increasing the number of black and white star points in that "galaxy". Normal players’ star points were particularly small, while super first-class masters like Dao Feng’s were generally larger.
He had witnessed this sight before, it was unmistakably the aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King!
As the number of players he fused with increased, an aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King emerged within him!
Instantly, he understood a truth——
It turns out, the Crystallization of the Divine King is hidden within every player’s body!
After His Majesty the Divine King perished, the Crystallization of the Divine King shattered into countless pieces, some of which merged into The Second World, thus the King of Hell and others had always been searching for the Crystallization of the Divine King in The Second World, which is why the Barbarian God’s avatar absorbed the aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King through the Giant Formation.
Meanwhile, other Crystallizations of the Divine King, after the Heaven-Sent Era began, transformed into each player’s character, which is why players are called "Heaven-Sent Man"!
The process of each player creating a character is actually transforming a sliver of the Crystallization of the Divine King into a character, granting all sorts of privileges to the Heaven-Sent Man, with abilities that NPCs do not possess, with leveling speed far surpassing NPCs...
However, each time a player dies, some aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King within them dissipates, merging into The Second World. Ordinary players often die numerous times, so the aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King within them becomes less and less, while master players die less frequently and have various ways to indirectly absorb the aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King, so they have more aura within them.
This is also why the Barbarian God’s avatar absorbed a sudden increase in the aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King in recent years.
The King of Hell must have noticed this change, so after the Heaven-Sent Era began, he resorted to all means to destroy The Second World to obtain the Crystallization of the Divine King.
However, the aura of the Crystallization of the Divine King within each player is too sparse, even a top-level expert like Huang Yi couldn’t notice it, only after fusing with countless players, their auras combined, did it finally become apparent.
"So that’s how it is!" In an instant, Huang Yi understood many things. If this is the case, then there is a path to becoming a Divine King——
By fusing with every player in the world, and then refining The Second World, thereby obtaining the part of the Crystallization of the Divine King also fused in The Second World, it’s possible to acquire a complete Crystallization of the Divine King, and with his perfect Nefalem’s bloodline, he can surpass the Supreme God and become the Divine King!
However, this path is extremely difficult, nearly impossible to achieve, as in this ultimate battle, only over 9 billion players have fused with him, not everyone will.
It’s akin to Kador’s Clan fusing with Kado, as long as one individual is missing, the Crystallization of the Divine King will remain incomplete, and he will be unable to become the Divine King.
