400. Beast Tide

A Fallen World? A Savior Hero?

Sulu stroked his chin. "Interesting..."

Before his transmigration, he had read many novels about the revival of spiritual energy, and he was speechless at how some protagonists, who were clearly the masterminds behind the scenes, still tried so hard to find reasonable explanations from the East and the West for the revival of spiritual energy.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to the big powers and organizations to figure out themselves?

Fabricated lies are the easiest to have loopholes. Often, in order to cover up one lie, one has to continue to fabricate thousands more.

The key issue is that the story isn't even fully developed, which is incredibly embarrassing.

The world is different if there is a 'hidden hand' (if it exists).

Anyway, that's how I did it. If it exists, it has a reason. You can interpret it however you want; guess for yourselves!!

According to Hayato, there are already over a hundred thousand theories about the ' Main God Game ' on Guni Planet, enough to fill several specialized books.

The most influential theories were the 'divine theory,' the 'extraterrestrial technology theory,' and the 'doomsday theory.'

Some people directly regarded "Main God Game" as a conspiracy, claiming that the Guni people were being secretly controlled and needed to be "purified," and calling on all Player to boycott the game.

Such propaganda was once quite popular. However, after the media exposed its flaws, it was revealed that some economically underdeveloped regions, which were later exposed to the Main God Game, deliberately promoted this theory in order to catch up with the pioneers.

Sulu listened with great interest and even asked a few questions. He discovered that someone had indeed guessed the 'two sides of the world' and couldn't help but admire them inwardly.

With so many people answering the questions, there will always be one or two who guess correctly.

But even if you guess right, what then?

According to official statistics, the Player of the Main God Game has now exceeded 100 million, most of whom are teenagers, accounting for one two-hundredth of the total population of the Guni Planet.

Even so, no one can access the truth of the world.

"This game offers a high degree of freedom; there are only three initial missions..."

Hayato gestured wildly, as if few people were usually willing to listen to him like this.

"Protect the main city, slay monsters, save the world! It's that simple. Besides that, you can do anything you want..."

Hayato stretched his arms out to the sky. "No matter what reality is like, this world is ours!"

Snap!

Just as he looked up, a clump of something, whether bird droppings or something else, was thrown into his mouth.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Hayato clutched his throat, then suddenly looked up. "That's... Oh no! The Beast Tide is coming!"

"Um?"

As soon as Sulu looked up, he saw a dark cloud appearing on the horizon.

They were strangely shaped birds, some with feathered wings, some with fleshy Bat wings, but all were out of place, either bald or deformed, exuding an indescribable sense of disgust.

Their shapes are also bizarre; some have cat-like heads, some are multi-headed monsters, and some have no heads at all, with their eyes on their wings.

"The Beast Tide is coming!"

"Everyone grab your weapons and let's fight them!"

"Haha... The time to make a fortune has come!"

"Killing monsters yields experience points!"

"The beast crystal is mine!"

A large number of Player poured out of the main city, picked up their equipment, and stood on the city walls to meet the enemy.

Sulu drifted along to the city wall, gazing at the dense, ferocious, and terrifying Beast Tide, his brow furrowing slightly. "This feeling... Wraith? A curse?"

He began to understand the origin of these monsters.

In the Material World, during Twilight of the Gods, mere resentment has absolutely no effect on the living.

However, in the Spirit World, especially in Spirit World where spiritual energy has revived, it is completely different.

The resentment from the deaths of countless people, the suffering caused by war, and the various desires and malice in life can all manifest as curses in the spiritually rich environment of the ' Inner World '!

Such resentment, accumulating day after day, will eventually overflow the dam of the ' Inner World ' and pour out into the Surface World.

That will be the end of the world!

Of course, the world itself may also have the function of 'self-cleaning' and 'self-purifying'.

However, once the 'limit' is exceeded, it still doesn't have much effect.

This is where these ' Player ' come in handy.

They spared no effort or danger in slaying a large number of monsters, which was actually a way of dispelling the dark side that had accumulated in the past world.

Why are the monsters so frenzied that they can't communicate at all? Because they are simply a manifestation of madness!

Why are they hostile to Player and desperately trying to destroy the main city? Because that's the meaning behind the curse! It's like the two poles of a magnet, which are inherently repulsive!

"If there's a mastermind behind the Main God Game, I'd give this design a 9 out of 10..."

Sulu watched as the large number of Player used the sturdy city walls to repel the monsters and nodded in agreement. "If the Player persevere, theoretically they can eliminate all the accumulated darkness of the world..."

"And if we could really do that, carrying the achievement of saving the world... wow, that would be an immeasurable act of merit!"

In the East, this is said to be a sign of great fortune, while in the West it is considered a blessing from fate. In short, whatever one does, there is a high probability of success.

At that time, the mastermind behind it all might be the Surface World's number one superhuman, for whom ruling the world would be a piece of cake.

"Kill!"

"Ah! I've been bitten to death!"

"Resurrect quickly! If the main city is destroyed, none of us will be able to play the game."

The sounds of fighting echoed continuously from the city walls.

Ordinary people supported it for a period of time, but the casualties were heavy, and nobody took it seriously.

Once the professionals, especially some third and fourth-tier professionals, arrived urgently, the tide of battle was immediately turned.

Sulu also pretended to kill a few strange birds and picked up a very ordinary white Crystal Core.

In his view, these were the crystallizations left after the curse and madness were washed away; while in the Player ' view, they were beast crystals, beast cores, and energy cores—the 'experience points' in the game, the only treasures that allowed them to advance in rank.

'Actually... the Player is merely a segment of spirit generated by the Mind Secret Realm, equivalent to an initial module, while the 'attached' profession comes from the Main God Game system, like a plugin. It feels like being controlled very tightly; even a fourth-tier professional's abilities aren't entirely their own...'

Sulu arrived at Resurrection Plaza.

This is the liveliest place, where countless Player die and are resurrected.

"As for why we can't go to the Material World, I understand now... The Inner World is a battleground for resisting the dark side of the world, such as curses and negative emotions. How can we allow deserters or enemy troops to break through the defenses?"

"Player can also travel back and forth through the Mind Secret Realm launcher... but damn it, I don't have an identity 'verified' by the Main God System!"

Sulu felt this was somewhat tricky.
