A "Dirty Trick" of a Skill

During those twenty-odd minutes, Xiao Yu wasn't idle; he was accumulating elemental power. The previous series of battles had greatly depleted his elemental power, but after these twenty minutes of recuperation, he had fully recovered.

(Think you're going to win? Hmph, how naive.) The Old God Form suddenly dissipated, and he transformed into Chaos Dragon, flying into the sky and reaching the highest point.

"Haha, this guy can't beat us and is trying to run away. Doesn't he know there's an invisible wall, idiot?"

"Go all out with your ranged attacks! He's airborne, so he'll take even more damage!"

Fireballs, lightning, arrows, and all sorts of ranged attacks rained down on the Chaos Dragon in the sky. But the next moment, the Chaos Dragon suddenly opened its mouth, and a black sphere shot down.

The hundreds of melee classes below were standing there, switching to bows and arrows and shooting into the sky, when they were immediately hit squarely by the black ball.

"Touch your black hole!" The black hole suddenly generated a huge gravitational pull, instantly sucking in dozens of melee adventurers around it, including Mountain King Karl Wildhammer and Paladin Baron Simmons.

However, the gravitational pull of the Simulated Black Hole was too small, only 30 yards in diameter, and only a few dozen people nearby were sucked in, which was nothing compared to the thousands of adventurers.

However, the next moment, the Chaos Dragon in the sky suddenly unleashed its second skill.

Azathoth (Elemental King): "Power of the winds, heed my command! In the name of Azathoth, storm descends!" Hurricane Spell!

In an instant, a massive hurricane was forming with Xiao Yu at its center, and the gale swept the surrounding adventurers toward the eye of the storm.

This skill is a powerful ultimate move for the Elemental Lord of Air at level 50. Its power and range are so great that it can be called a killing machine. The only problem is that this skill does not deal damage.

That's right, the Elemental Lord of Air's skill is actually a strategic skill. It can gather a large number of enemies together and then eliminate them with an AOE skill. It itself has no damage effect (except against buildings).

This time, however, the situation was different. The black hole was located at the center of the Hurricane Spell, and the adventurers nearby were involuntarily moved towards it by the hurricane. Once they entered the black hole's gravitational pull, they were instantly sucked in. In the blink of an eye, three or four hundred adventurers were caught off guard and blown into the black hole by the Hurricane Spell. The other adventurers and heroes plunged their weapons into the ground to fight against the force of the gale. Although they didn't know what being sucked into the black hole meant, it was undoubtedly not a good thing.

As long as one has enough power, it is possible to resist this attraction. However, the Elemental King flying in the air immediately unleashed his third skill.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Power of the earth, heed my command, tremble before the will of me, Azathoth!" Earthquake!

This was the Earth Elemental Lords's level 50 ultimate skill. In an instant, the ground beneath the adventurers' feet began to tremble and shake, and some parts of the ground even cracked open. The adventurers were in big trouble now; their weapons were thrown from the ground and flew towards the black hole in the center, swept away by the gale.

More than two thousand people were sucked in at once, and only a few hundred people were still using various survival skills to tough it out.

Azathoth in the sky wouldn't let them survive so easily. Transforming into Chaos Dragon, he continuously spewed Chaos Dragon Breath, blasting the adventurers into the air one by one, and then sucking them into the black hole. When the hurricane finally subsided and the ground finally calmed down, the surrounding ground was as clean as a street that had been battered by a typhoon all night.

Only a few scattered adventurers who hadn't participated in the battle were still staring in disbelief at this scene from afar.

Brother Panda: Holy crap, what's going on? What was that combo attack all about?

Crow Mouth: Haha, you're definitely going to lose this time!

Brother Panda: Don't get too excited yet. This Simulated Black Hole is just a control skill. The adventurers who were sucked in should not have died.

Crow Mouth: Do you think I don't know? I bet the Elemental King knows this even better; he definitely has more tricks up his sleeve.

Sure enough, in the match footage, the Chaos Dragon flew directly to the Monster Quartermaster.

I spent 3000 fragments to hire a monster army, and suddenly an army of earth elementals appeared around me.

This army of earth elementals ran to the bottom of the black hole and began digging a pit.

That's right, they dug a pit. Because of the Earthquake, many cracks appeared on the surface. In addition, the earth elementals have the ability to control the land, so digging is very easy. These earth elementals did not enter the gravitational pull of the black hole, so they dug on the outer edge, digging diagonally downwards towards the black hole. In just a few minutes, they dug out a huge shallow pit with a diameter of more than 30 meters. Then, these earth elementals stood in a circle around this shallow pit, like a wall, further increasing the depth of the pit.

Brother Panda: Huh? What is he doing? This pit isn't deep at all. Even if those adventurers fall in, they can easily climb out.

Crow Mouth: I think I understand now, look what Azathoth is doing!

Brother Panda: He flew up to the top of the black hole. What does that mean? Does he want to wipe out all these adventurers with an AOE skill? That's unrealistic.

The answer was soon revealed. Just over a minute after the pit was dug, the black hole finally gave way and suddenly disappeared. Then, thousands of adventurers, along with four heroes, appeared out of thin air where the black hole had vanished and all fell into the shallow pit.

Because the density was so high, it was completely people piled on top of each other, people squeezed together, forming a huge human pile. These thousands of people were piled up in the shallow pit, just like a huge bowl filled with ants.

Then, the Chaos Dragon in the sky suddenly transformed into the Old God Form. It put a Gravity Shackles and a Chaos Barrier on its body, and then, like an artificial planet, it fell directly from the sky. Below it, there were thousands of adventurers crammed together, struggling to climb out of the crowd.

Then -- Duang!

The enormous sphere fell directly into the shallow pit below, but before it touched the ground, it landed on the adventurers first.

The realistic physics engine's collision volume effects are on full display at this moment; the adventurer's body is so fragile in the face of immense weight and gravity.

The earth trembled, blood and flesh splattered, and severed limbs rained down. The adventurers at the bottom were almost instantly turned into mincemeat, and those on the edge fared no better. Under the pressure, they were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing into the earthen walls around them before falling back into the shallow pit.

At this moment, on a puddle of something resembling tomato sauce in the shallow pit, sat a gigantic monster covered in tentacles. The adventurers around were either crushed to death or maimed. The few survivors were all crying and scrambling to climb out of the pit, or sitting blankly in the bloody mud, completely dumbfounded.

The screen was completely blood-red, like something out of a gore horror movie, only much more realistic. The players watching the match were all dumbfounded.

It wasn't until the live streamer blurred the image with a mosaic that people realized what had happened.

[Don't Be Arrogant If You Dare: Holy crap, this this this this!!! (vomiting emoji)]

[Third Young Master's Meanness: Wow, Mom, the game graphics are terrifying! (vomiting emoji)]

[SYZ: Holy crap!!!! (vomiting emoji)]

[Rampaging Durian: I ************!!! (vomiting emoji)]

[Calabash Kid: I choke choke choke!!!! (vomiting emoji)]

[Death Thorn: Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!!!! (vomiting emoji)]

[The Xiaozi Shoujiao: (vomiting emoji)]

Crow Mouth: See? I told you, the Elemental King definitely has a powerful move.

Brother Panda:...

Meanwhile, in another virtual space, the GMs responsible for controlling the pace of the game were all staring at the screen in front of them—dumbfounded.

Liu Wei grabbed his hair with both hands, "We're doomed, we're really doomed. I told you not to give Azathoth too many powerful heroes. Even if you want balance, you should at least do it subtly. What the hell are you doing? Look, you've angered him. Now we're in big trouble."

Huo Xian's face turned deathly pale. He was the one who had previously gifted Xiao Yu several high-level heroes. With a mournful expression, he said, "How was I supposed to know that the Elemental King would use such a vile tactic? It's not just vile, it's absolutely inhumane, cruel, and outrageous!"

Liu Wei shook his head helplessly. "What to do, what to do? This is going to be on the front page of the news. The game might even have to be shut down for rectification and completely censored."

Ma Xiaoyun hesitated and said, "It shouldn't be that serious, right? It's just a game, those adventurers didn't actually die."

Liu Wei said helplessly, "What if some adventurers say they've suffered physical or mental trauma? What if some viewers complain? It's not that serious yet. Are you really that naive? Right now, we can only see how well our company's public relations are doing and whether we can quell public opinion. Hopefully, no one will take this opportunity to stir up trouble and create a media storm."

Meanwhile, in another virtual space, a man dressed in black robes watched the scene on the screen and burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost fell over. It took him a long time to calm down, and he muttered to himself, "This Azathoth is quite an interesting person, actually managing to come up with such a creative tactic. But with such a good opportunity, I think I should take advantage of it to cause them some trouble—perhaps I should stir up some trouble and create a public opinion storm first."
