Royal city.
Tourmaline Closter.
Sun Palace, Conference Hall.
Sitting in the main seat was a young and elegant lady wearing a white dress with wavy pleats and some petal patterns cut out on it. Her long golden hair was piled up in a complex way, and paired with a diamond-studded crown, she looked luxurious.
Behind her stood the chief steward Babaye, on her left was the royal chief secretary Franco, and on her right sat the chief judge of the Imperial Tribunal, Maclean.
At the long conference table below were the major leaders of the Church of the Seven Gods.
"Princess Anna, according to the latest intelligence from the Inquisition, His Majesty Jackspeight, the Vice Speaker of the Kangkai Council, has led the expeditionary force to counterattack deep into the spirit world, and has now officially entered the dark world..."
McCaughlin said with a serious expression, holding a confidential report in his hand.
Everyone participating in the meeting was shocked.
They all turned their eyes to Kangkai's seat in the Parliament. Governor Landa's face froze and he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Your Majesty Landa, could you please explain to everyone here why His Majesty Jackspeight suddenly declared war on the dark world?"
Pope Difni said expressionlessly at the seat of the Church of the Sun.
"Although Her Majesty Jack is a demigod, this move is too risky. If she attacks the dark world without the permission of the royal meeting, it may cause a more violent backlash, causing irreparable damage to the empire..."
The High Priest Camacho of the Hailing Group suddenly added quietly:
"The Father of Darkness is an ancient god who existed in ancient times. He is the source of darkness and filth. He has always been in a state of blindness and stupidity. Apart from constantly creating Didak insects and pollution, he will not leave the end of darkness at will... But if the expedition team led by His Majesty Jack angers her, it is hard to predict what the consequences will be."
Everyone's expressions became more serious, and the leaders of the History and Ritual Association, the Star Sect, and the Madman School frowned.
Landa was under a lot of pressure as he was being watched by everyone.
She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"I believe that Vice Speaker Jack's decision is correct... Counterattack is indeed risky, but now the pollution has spread to the human world, Didak insects are emerging in an endless stream, and the shelters and branches of the Seven Gods Church across the empire are running around. If this continues, the situation will probably become more difficult to control..."
Landa raised his head and looked directly at the leaders.
"Deputy Speaker Jack has summoned millions of extraordinary immortal strangers. Even if this counterattack cannot completely suppress the Dark Father, it can wipe out most of the pollution tide and buy the empire a few more years."
When the participants heard that Jack had millions of extraordinary immortal aliens under his command, their expressions changed slightly, and Diffney's face became even gloomier.
She spoke slowly:
"Even so, I am not optimistic... Unless His Majesty the Sun King personally goes to battle with the Sunlight Spear in hand, no one below the angel level can harm the Father of Darkness in the slightest."
Speaking of the Father of Darkness again, in fact, all the senior leaders present here know something about him.
Although they were reluctant to talk, they all held the same view as Diffney in their hearts... Although the ancient god Distdak was not a true god, his power and strength were definitely greater than that of ordinary angels, and Jackspeight was far inferior to him.
Unless, Conrad, the King of Killing, will take action secretly.
However, the tragedy in Sunset City happened not long ago, and the Angel King is probably still digesting the last of his authority and preparing for becoming a god, so he is unlikely to intervene in this matter.
Then Jack's trip will most likely end in failure...
"The Kangkai Council is one of the seven great orthodox churches. Your Majesty Jack is setting an example and is brave and fearless. I admire him deeply... After all, who else would dare to stand up and face the terrifying Dark Father and the endless tide of pollution?"
In the Moon Church seat, old Sister Olmedo suddenly spoke.
Because Prince Dazlet's existence was erased, the Moon Saint had no recollection of what happened and therefore had no grudge against the royal family.
"Alas, even so, we should prepare for the worst."
The great scholar Hernandez of the School of Madness sighed.
"If His Majesty Jack's expedition team returns in defeat and the Dark Father is enraged, how should we respond?"
The scene suddenly became quiet.
There are countless waves of pollution from the deep spirit world and even the dark world. If they were to descend upon the human world, the entire empire and even the entire Sun Continent would be eroded... By then, even if the Inquisition and the Church of the Seven Gods joined forces, it would probably be difficult to resist.
The best case scenario is to hold on to one corner and give up most of the territory.
Everyone knew the truth, but no one was willing to speak out.
At this time, Princess Anna on the main seat finally spoke softly:
"There is no need to argue about this any more. On behalf of the royal family, I fully support His Majesty Jackspeight's counterattack..."
She looked calm and responded to the surprised looks of the people under the table.
Jack's attack on the dark world is actually indirectly helping her brother Arnold and helping Jiaoyang relieve stress.
From this perspective alone, she was willing to speak from Jack's perspective.
"As for if we fail in the end... I believe that my father will not sit idly by and watch the Trisur Empire be swallowed by darkness."
Princess Anna said indifferently.
She glanced meaningfully at each person in charge.
As the ruler of the empire, how could Anna not know that the Church of the Seven Gods had its own foundation and trump cards. When it came to a matter of life and death, it would be impossible for them to slack off... Even if the present world collapsed, it would mean the loss of the Seven Gods' anchor point. The church would never watch such a thing happen.
The participants were speechless.
They really couldn't refute the princess' words...

"ah!
”
"There are too many insect people!"
“It’s impossible to stop it!
”
The players screamed and died one after another.
In the dark world, the expedition team suffered an unprecedented devastating blow.
The danger level here is far greater than that in the shallow spiritual world.
It is extremely difficult to travel in a dark environment.
The expedition team could only artificially create light for illumination, but in this situation, they were like living targets, constantly attracting Didak insect people.
Most of them are low-sequence players who had relied on potions to get here. After their perception was blocked, their strength was greatly reduced.
Whenever attacked by insect people, they have almost no ability to fight back.
Those insects have different forms, but they are all top hunters in the dark, with physical fitness comparable to that of senior mid-sequence extraordinary people. Even the Golden Cup Councillors would find it extremely difficult to deal with such descendants of ancient gods, let alone players.
In less than two hours, more than 200,000 players were killed here and returned to the resurrection point in the real world.
And as we move forward, the number of players is decreasing rapidly.
Many dead players cursed and cursed, and new posts were added to the game forum at a rapid rate. Although the content was slightly different, the core meaning was exactly the same -
Can't play!
This damn dark world is definitely a late-stage map!
It's impossible to play at all!
"Master Qiao Ke..."
Under the dozens of light spots created by magical illumination, Senator Frey and several Gold Cup Senators cautiously approached the man in black robes and bowed their heads in awe.
"For some reason, the Didak bugs' attacks are becoming more and more frequent. Among them, there are even some powerful bugs comparable to the incarnation of saints. It is difficult for us to take care of the overall situation. If this continues, I am afraid that most of the Undead Strangers will be killed..."
Qiao Ke in the black robe groaned in silence.
At an angle that Frey and others could not see, he secretly opened the panel.
Silently watching the curse of the "blasphemer"...
Blasphemer LVMAX (Curse)
Curse description: Your hands are stained with the blood of the descendants of the ancient gods, and you have become the enemy of the gods who stand against darkness!
You are a thorn in the eyes of the dark believers, the divine scrolls and their descendants. They are always looking for your whereabouts and are hunting you down following this mark!
The darkness and you will fight to the death!
Curse effect: All attributes -5 (Mystic Resistance has been exempted from this effect)
"So besides the fact that the expedition team was really powerful and they lit up the lights to attract the insects' attention... the most important thing was that I was constantly attracting hatred?"
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Thanks to the efforts of the players and the Solar Cross, this curse has been raised to the maximum level without anyone noticing, and the effect is amazing.
He only needed to stick his head to the back of the team, and the insect people, dark believers and scroll tribes of the entire dark world would instantly smell the scent and rush towards this side like crazy.
In particular, the four expeditionary teams consisting of the Four Knights of Fate were attacked by most of the dark monsters.
The players were so dizzy that they didn't know which way was which.
'Forget it, this is definitely not a place for low-sequence players to come...'
Chen Lun decisively gave up on this group of players.
Qiao Ke in the black robe said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't worry about it, just keep going."
Frey and the others were startled at first, then nodded in agreement:
"Yes, sir."
Several more hours passed.
The expeditionary force was killed by the insect people and only "scattered remnants" were left.
Most of the players died along the way, leaving only about seven or eight thousand mid-level high-level players, who continued to move forward with the Gold Cup councillor and the circus cadres.
The original ten teams also completed the final convergence and formed a complete team.
Millions of players died and cried out in despair.
The gaming forums were full of pessimism.
"This main quest is a complete failure... 99% of the players died without even seeing the final boss. It's almost impossible to catch up with the main force!"
"Players' progress is still too slow..."
"If everyone is Brother Beizi, this mission will be a breeze!"
"Would you like to see what you're talking about?"
"Save the flow: Can't play."
Many live broadcast rooms that were broadcasting the main storyline process were shut down, leaving only a few still continuing, including Su Keying's live broadcast room.
But this is a good thing for her.
Because hundreds of millions of viewers had nowhere to go, they were finally received by her.
Su Keying glanced at the number of people in the live broadcast room. It had reached more than 12 million, which really shocked her... The little anchor had never seen such a big scene before. Her heart beat faster and her face was about to be crooked with laughter.
Immediately, he told his teammates the good news.
"That's great, Keying."
Tail whispered in the darkness.
"Give me more shots later, so that all the players in the server can see that besides Brother Beizi, there is also Brother Gouzi to support the scene!"
The dog-headed gold on the side came close to the camera and spoke quietly.
Dongyang Polaris and others secretly rolled their eyes.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room filled the screen, all of which were "ugly" and "get out", almost making Goutoujin angry to death.
Chen Lun, hiding in the invisible, checked the panel again.
Although most of the low-level players were lost, I used them as targets and gained a lot of experience points along the way. Overall, I was quite satisfied.
Experience value: 9152W/470W
