Data Flow

"So? Have you found Medivh yet?"

As soon as Xiao Yu logged out of the game, Old Li couldn't wait to ask.

"Found it," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "And I also found some good news: the character I had in the Sky World, Azathoth, hasn't disappeared."

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback, or rather, they were both surprised and delighted, and there was a reason for this reaction.

It's important to understand that there's a huge difference in player character design between the two games, Sky World and War of the Gods. In Sky World, the top-tier boss characters controlled by players are often far stronger than ordinary characters, sometimes even capable of taking on a thousand opponents single-handedly.

This is due to the nature of the game. It can be said that there is no such thing as balance in the game Sky World. As long as you are willing to spend money and play well enough, theoretically, there is no limit to the growth of your character.

The character Azathoth emerged under these circumstances, eventually reaching the point where he could even slay gods, making him arguably the strongest character in the history of online games—a character so monstrous has never appeared before.

In the War of the Gods, although players can gain powerful abilities after leveling up and advancing, there are still limits, and those limits are the Legendary.

No matter how powerful a player's character is, reaching the Legendary level is already the limit. Even if a player changes to a different class or takes on a more powerful job, a powerful spellcaster like Astral Plane Mage can only have a few dozen spell slots at most, enough to cast a few level nine spells. Facing thousands of enemies, they will only face defeat.

Combat-oriented classes, lacking additional health bonuses, even the most advanced third-tier classes like Dragon Slayer and Dragon Knight, at level 20, only have a few hundred health points at most.

Even with top-tier equipment, one could barely manage to fight against the likes of divine messengers under a god. Fighting a god was out of the question; unless one gathered the strength of hundreds or thousands of people, there was absolutely no hope.

Moreover, as the gods gradually perished, their power gradually gathered in the hands of three gods. The power of these three gods also became incredibly strong, which made it impossible for ordinary players to fight against them.

In fact, in the game's design, War of the War of the Gods never considered having players defeat gods as bosses.

If War of the Gods is a regular fantasy MMORPG, then Sky World is more like a private server where you can spend money to level up and grow infinitely.

The difference between their roles is simply enormous.

So when they heard Xiao Yu say that Azathoth was still alive, everyone was naturally extremely surprised. If Xiao Yu could gain control of Azathoth, it could be said that no player in the War of the Gods could contend with him. He could probably even fight against the gods, not to mention that Azathoth himself was a god.

Almost instantly, everyone realized this crucial point.

"What are you planning to do?" Old Li asked excitedly.

"It's simple. Activate Azathoth, then wipe out those guys. Even if we can't, as long as we have a divine character, we can stop their conspiracy to the greatest extent possible," Xiao Yu said confidently. "However, I need your help. The Azathoth character is in a place called the Chaos Domain, which is extremely dangerous. My character hasn't logged in for six months, and I estimate its level has fallen far behind."

Without saying a word, Old Li said, "What do you need? Just tell me."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I need you to help me find a team of Legendary masters."

Xiao Yu didn't stand on ceremony. To reclaim the role of Azathoth, Xiao Yu had to enter the Chaos Domain, a space that was extremely dangerous. With his current strength, he couldn't even dream of it. Fortunately, if he had a team of experts who had reached the Legendary level to help him, he would still have a chance. Moreover, he also had Medivh's help.

"No problem, I'll get the manpower ready for you right away."

An hour later, a total of twenty gaming experts had gathered in the online lobby. These experts included agents from the National Guard Bureau, game experts recruited by the National Guard Bureau, and network experts brought in from the National Network. All of them were top-tier experts at level nineteen or twenty, with as many as thirteen of them reaching the Legendary level.

"One Astral Plane Mage, two Dragonvein Warlock, three Eye of God, four Champion Knight Lords, two Blademasters, two Dragon Knights, one Shadow Controller, two Stormwalkers, and three Prophet Saints."

All of them are classes that have reached level 3 or higher. How about that? That should be enough, right?

Xiao Yu was also surprised. He didn't expect that Old Li could recruit so many experts all at once. Each of them was so skilled. Although he didn't know how this level would be considered in the game, it sounded really impressive.

"Sure, as long as you can protect me in finding Azathoth's location," Xiao Yu said. Although Azathoth could be controlled through brainwave authentication, this was only theoretical. Xiao Yu wasn't sure if it could actually be achieved. Now, he could only wait and see if Medivh's guess would come true.

"Very well, then let's not delay and get started immediately," Old Li said in a deep voice.

The group entered the game, and ten minutes later, they had all gathered in the wilderness.

Xiao Yu was surprised to find that Old Li had also personally joined the fray. His profession was a Shadow Master, a fourth-tier advancement of the Assassin class. He could control shadow power and even seamlessly switch between physical form and shadow, making him extremely powerful.

Compared to the powerful figure before him, Xiao Yu's current strength is somewhat lacking. Although Heroic Spirits/ Blasphemous Saint are rare high-level professions, their level is still too low, so he can only be considered passable.

"By the way, how do we get to the Chaos Domain?" Old Li couldn't help but ask.

"There is no way to go to the Chaos Domain, but when I banished Azathoth to that space, I left behind a spacetime beacon that only I can use to teleport there. Come and stand beside me."

Medivh spoke, he began drawing circles on the ground.

A huge teleportation array appeared beneath their feet, and everyone stood around Medivh.

Mass Teleport!

With a wave of Medivh's staff, everyone vanished in a blinding white light.

Almost instantly, several figures Blink where everyone had vanished.

"That's right, this is it!" said the mage at the front. "I can feel the residual magical energy in the air. They must have used some kind of powerful teleportation spell." As he spoke, the mage used a Time Rewind. This spell couldn't reverse time, but it could bring back images of the past. A large group of phantoms appeared on the open ground, then vanished together under Medivh's Teleport.

"It's Medivh, huh? I didn't expect him to still be alive." The Earl of Monte Cristo said with a sneer, glancing at the mage. "Can you trace their data flow?"

"No problem, as long as they're still in this game, they can't escape our surveillance—wait, their destination is an unknown area. We don't have any information about that area; it seems to be a chaotic zone that wasn't explored when the game was originally developed."

So, where can we get to?

"That's not a problem, but we know nothing about where we are, and I have absolutely no idea what will happen once we get there—"

The Count of Earl of Monte Cristo interrupted the mage, "Very well, then prepare your forces immediately. Summon a team of top-tier experts from the guild; we must catch up immediately. Also, inform the Speaker; we must hurry."

As the Earl of Monte Cristo spoke, he gave an order, and his men immediately sprang into action.
