There Are Always Unruly Subjects Plotting to Harm Me

Upon entering the video section, the first image Xiao Yu saw was a recording of his previous battle against the Naga.

A nearly ten-meter-tall Elemental Lords stood atop a high cliff, his body shrouded in mist, holding the divine sword Scourge of the Ocean in his hand. Beside him, lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark heavens, and swirling dark clouds gathered above his head, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Xiao Yu glanced at the video's title. "The Strongest Boss in History Appears: Azathoth, the Water Elemental Lord".

Upon opening the video, the main perspective is that of an adventurer Warrior.

Narrator: Today, I had the privilege of participating in an epic campaign, joining the elemental army in attacking the Lost Temple on the Lost Island. Then I fought a battle with the Horde. Just when I thought it was over, the Naga army surged in like a tidal wave. For survival, for the glory of the Alliance, even though we are outnumbered, I will fight to the very last moment.

The first few minutes of the video are basically scenes of adventurers fighting against the Naga. Comrades keep dying while the number of enemies keeps increasing. The slow-motion fighting scenes, coupled with the tragic background music, give a feeling of heroes dying before they can fulfill their ambitions. The person who filmed this video must have studied photography, as the camera work is just right and the character portrayal is very subtle.

Narrator: It seems this battle is about to end. Faced with endless enemies, I too will die here. However, something unexpected suddenly happened.

Then suddenly, just as the background music turned despairing, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, blasting the Naga in front of them to pieces. Then the perspective abruptly shifted, revealing the scene from before.

Narrator: It's Azathoth, the Water Elemental Lord. He's finally appeared and is displaying overwhelming power. His aura is simply unmatched. I need to find a better spot.

The Warrior ran towards a high ground, reached a lighthouse, and looked down.

Lightning bolts rained down from the sky as the Naga scattered and fled. The ocean surrounding the Lost Island Boiling like candy, and the Naga suffered heavy casualties. Then, the Elemental Legion pressed in from behind, driving the Naga completely back into the sea.

The scene constantly switches between the sea and the Water Elemental Lord.

Narrator: That's so awesome! So awesome! The Water Elemental Lord Azathoth single-handedly repelled the Naga army. It's conservatively estimated that at least 100,000 Naga soldiers were wiped out in this battle. The beaches and the sea are littered with Naga corpses. He's undoubtedly the strongest BOSS in the history of the Sky World.

(Wow, I never thought I was this awesome!) I have to say, when Xiao Yu looked at this matter from an outsider's perspective, he was actually a little excited, especially when the video creator told the story with such a tone of worship and awe.

After watching the video, Xiao Yu checked the comments section. The video had already garnered over five million views, so naturally, there were tens of thousands of comments.

Xiao Yu could only read a few of the latest comments.

Legend of the Sea of Stars: Holy crap, is this even possible? How are we supposed to fight this boss if we encounter it again? It feels like no matter how many people go, they're just going to die.

**** Warrior: This is definitely not a Water Elemental skill. The range of this skill must be several kilometers. I've never seen a skill with such power before. It must be a story skill, right? I probably can't use it normally.

Wizard 1278: Didn't you guys notice? This Water Elemental Lord looks different from the usual Water Elemental Lord; it's even emitting steam.

War Soul King: Top Secret Revealed - Azathoth is holding a divine artifact. I was there and saw it with my own eyes.

Heroes of Might and Magic: Really? I don't think I've ever seen any legendary artifacts in the game.

Iron Masked Man: It's absolutely real, I saw it too, this thing is awesome.

****** ******Niuniu: Is this Azathoth an NPC or a player?

The Immense Pressure: It must be an NPC. If the player were that powerful, they would have been featured on the homepage by now. How could no one have heard of them before?

I Am the Great Demon King: Luckily, I'm not a player, otherwise, no one else would be able to compete with me as the strongest BOSS.

Upon seeing the comments, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been a little worried that someone might try to cause trouble for him because of the artifact. He wasn't afraid of anyone in the game, but if someone tried to engage in real-life PvP with him outside the game, or had ulterior motives, that would be a problem. Now that everyone treated him as an NPC, it was much easier to handle. No matter how powerful an NPC was, it wouldn't arouse people's jealousy. At most, everyone would just consider it a design choice by the game company.

However, after reading the comments for a while longer, he soon realized that he couldn't be too sure about things yet.

Witch-king Angmar: If it really is an artifact, wouldn't defeating this boss mean we can get it? I'm thinking of giving it a try, anyone want to join?

War Soul King: This BOSS is not easy to deal with. I advise you not to even think about attacking him. He is an important NPC in the story. He can give you a divine weapon. The game company must have arranged a very important part of his story. How could they let you kill him?

I Am the Great Demon King: What's there to be afraid of? The game company can't directly control the game. As long as we act quickly, we might be able to defeat this BOSS. If you ask me, the bold will thrive while the timid will starve. Count me in if anyone wants to take down this BOSS.

Witch-king Angmar: Anyone who dares to do this, come into my guest room. Room number 51973, teleportation password 1234, room name Angmar's Guest Room. I am the guild master of the Middle-earth Supreme Guild.

Braveheart: Count me in, count me in.

Invincible Iron Man: Damn, how could I miss out on something like this?

**** Warrior: And me too! How could a professional expert like me be missing from something like this?

Little Brat Wants to Eat: What was the room number again? Can you send it again?

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Damn it, they're going to push me again? Do they have to be so blatant? It's true what they say, 'People are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.' The moment this magical artifact is revealed, it attracts flies. There are always some treacherous people trying to harm me. Luckily, I happened to see it. I have to go and see what's going on. I have no choice but to play the role of 007 for a while."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu hurriedly pulled out the login desk, entered the room serial number, and checked. Sure enough, there was such a room in Angmar's reception room. He entered the login password and selected login. The next second, he was instantly teleported to the front of a luxurious palace.

As they approached the door, they found two guards clad in golden plate armor standing outside, along with a beautiful maid who was there to greet them.

"Hello sir, how may I help you?" the maid said gently, showing none of the stiffness of an NPC. She was actually a high-level AI maid. This Angmar seems to be a tycoon.
