Enshrined Ones
Within a Gray Fog, a group of strangely shaped and vastly different creatures sat Jingjing, exchanging little words with each other.
A panel floated in the very center of the Gray Fog, its Text understandable to all living beings.

[Relative World Difficulty: S]
[World Type: Pseudo-Reality Folded Dimension]
[World Introduction: The old Victorian-style city of London has been sealed inside a dimensional box by an alien force. The entire city is a giant, never-ending stage play. It is divided into numerous theatrical districts, where countless plays are performed in Cycle. Local actors, behind-the-scenes puppeteers, and extraterrestrial Outer God...]
The laws of physics disregard reality; narrative power takes precedence over individual strength. Individuals may be forcibly downgraded by the script, and ordinary beings can gain god-slaying power through the plot. There is no unified World Will. Other celestial forces have not yet entered this plane.
[Note: Ninety-four Reincarnation beings have perished in the battle, and seven Main God Proxy.]

Kill the Protagonist on stage x3
Leading to a tragic ending

[Failure Penalty: None]
A being entirely black glanced at the new mission, frowned, and sensed something was amiss.
His gaze wandered through the Gray Fog space, precisely locating a scarlet figure sitting cross-legged in a corner.
He recognized this guy; his name seemed to be... the Demon King.
The Demon King has been in this Gray Fog for an unknown period of time; he has existed since the Gray Fog he arrived and has already completed at least four [forced quests].
It should be understood that in this Main God Space, the strong rule everything.
After going through the stages of ordinary Reincarnation, veteran Reincarnation, and Legendary Reincarnation, there is often an opportunity to make a choice.
One option is to lose everything and return to a peaceful life; the other is to travel to the true Main God Space, leave the cultivation vessel, and enter the true heavens to become a [Enshrined One]!
The [Enshrined Ones ] face a more lenient Chief God, but the Real World they face is anything but lenient.
Becoming a [Enshrined One] alone requires unimaginable points and resources. The combined identities of [Legendary Reincarnation] and [Main God Proxy] require completing nearly a thousand tasks to accumulate enough points!
A powerful Reincarnation, rising from an ordinary person to a [Legendary Reincarnation], has only completed fewer than a hundred tasks...
Therefore, [Enshrined One] are often promoted through loans, and they travel to various worlds to carry out missions with terrifying strength that was previously unimaginable. For a large part of the time, the main storyline is about repaying debts.
However, some [Enshrined One] make mistakes for various reasons, are unable to repay their debts, or have accumulated enormous debts, and will be forcibly executed by the Chief God.
This is the situation that everyone is facing right now.
"Demon King... how many more tasks do you have left?" the Black Ghost asked.
He follows the path of Sacrifice living beings and specializing in the way of the soul. Because he has the characteristic of devouring and appears black, he is called the Black Ghost.
Song Shige slowly opened his eyes, glanced at his remaining debts, and did not answer.
The Black Ghost, having made a fool of himself, counted the living beings present again.
Of the twenty-two statues, fourteen were present during the last mission, and eight were newly appeared.
I wonder how many will survive this mission? I wish they could be my provisions.
The Black Ghost couldn't help but think that.
But that was just a thought. He came here mainly because he killed all his teammates during a mission, incurring a huge debt and having his credit score reduced to zero, which was then enforced.
About fifteen minutes later, the Gray Fog trembled, and the [Enshrined Ones ] entered the mission world [London Ete's Theater Box].
A light, cold rain pattered down on Victoria Street, the dim streetlights swaying in the rain and mist, and the old cobblestone streets were covered with murky sewage.
The Black Ghost found himself so small, standing like an ordinary person on the semi-electrified streets with the other [Enshrined Ones ].
They are manipulating their puppets; the real beings are in the heavens, refusing to descend.
"This mission seems a little different."
An old man with Mutation limbs and countless bizarre creatures growing on his body spoke, his voice hoarse and low.
The development of new mission worlds in the Main God Space is a delicate matter. It often requires the visits of several Reincarnation teams, or even legions, to completely conquer a mission world.
In the early stages, weaklings come to test the waters, then scouts come to gather information, and the core team tries to change and control the world, but fails repeatedly. Then the Chief God will send strong warriors to conquer the world.
These "Enshrined Ones," who are forcibly appointed, are often chosen specifically for high-intensity battles after the mission world's information has been thoroughly investigated.
"Something does seem off." The Black Ghost glanced at the old man, thinking he smelled delicious.
This is a Legion-based [Enshrined One]. In the last mission world, a monster legion of over ten thousand Jing was generated in just ten minutes, and the resources at his disposal are extremely terrifying.
The air on the street was thick with the musty smell of rotting theatrical costumes, and crooked dolls were placed inside the windows of the buildings on both sides.
The puppets controlled by the [Enshrined One] looked out and saw the entire street stretching into the distance, its end swallowed by a thick white fog.
A figure appeared and disappeared in the mist.
An old, mottled black top hat covered his head, and most of his face was hidden in the misty rain, his silence chilling.
"Outer God."
One of the [Enshrined One] said something.
Those with strong senses could clearly see that above the figure in the top hat, at the edge of the world, on the stage, a greedy green eye was watching the crowd.
The next moment, the actor in the fog suddenly sprang up.
The surrounding streets and alleys collapsed with a roar, the brick and stone buildings melted away like phantoms, and an endless theatrical stage unfolded from Ethereal.
A heavy, scarlet velvet curtain billowed across the sky, and faded scenery and dilapidated columns suddenly appeared, transforming the entire city into a seemingly boundless theatrical stage.
The actor's large velvet cloak suddenly burst open, half of his face covered by a mask. As the force surged, the seams of his dress tore apart one by one, his body rapidly expanded and Mutation, and billowing black mist surged from beneath the mask.
The [Enshrined Ones Enshrined One no longer maintained their mortal appearances, tearing off their masks and revealing their terrifying true forms.
The body of a [Enshrined One] swelled to the size of a planet, with stardust-like patterns flowing across its pitch-black shell. Thousands of meteor-like bone spikes burst forth from its surface, and the mere vibration of its body caused ripples to spread across the entire stage space.
Another figure transformed into an endless, phantom legion. Countless Undead clad in rusted armor poured out of the rifts, the clanging of armor echoing incessantly, and the dense tide of soldiers covered half the stage.
Some of the [Enshrined Ones ] had twisted bodies, half flesh and blood Mutation and half mechanical divine constructs. Their huge skeletons, thousands of kilometers long, floated in mid-air, flowing with dark red energy torrents, and their ferocious tentacles swept in Four Directions.
The battle begins within three seconds of meeting!
