For World Peace

The black mist summoned by Xiao Yu only existed for a minute or two. During this time, Naiser's henchmen stayed around the black mist, monitoring everything within it.

They didn't make a move because, according to Forrest's orders, their task was merely to keep an eye on Xiao Yu. Given their strength, they couldn't imagine what tricks Xiao Yu could pull. As for Naiser, who was shrouded in black mist, he was the strongest among them, and they also knew that Naiser had a grudge against Xiao Yu, so they had no intention of getting involved.

Seeing the two reappear in their sight, the group assumed Naiser would kill Xiao Yu. However, Naiser appeared grim, as if he had suffered a great blow. One of them looked at Naiser with suspicion, "What was he doing? Boss, you don't look well."

"Nothing much?" Naiser shook his head, his face grim. "Just old friends catching up."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Forrest in the distance. At that moment, Forrest was standing in front of Azathoth's body, one hand on the black body made of chaotic energy, his eyes closed, seemingly analyzing the composition of the thing in front of him and how to destroy or utilize it.

This state had been going on for quite some time, but the more Forrest analyzed it, the more surprised he became. The powerful energy contained within Azathoth seemed to be beyond his expectations. Not only were its energy attributes extremely unique, but more importantly, this thing itself possessed a certain degree of divinity. Although this divinity was slightly different from that of the gods in the War of the Gods world, it seemed to have the same qualifications to participate in the War of the Gods. If Xiao Yu really controlled Azathoth and brought it into the world of the War of the Gods, that would be a real problem.

Fortunately, the other party is now under my control. In about an hour, I will be able to analyze it completely and then convert it into my own energy.

If I could absorb such a powerful force as Azathoth's, and combine it with my existing accumulation, then I would have an overwhelming advantage in the final battle for the gods.

Thinking about this, he felt a surge of excitement.

"All GMs, go online and analyze this unit's character data; prepare for data transfer."

He silently recited a phrase in his mind, and immediately received a barrage of responses.

The responses he received were from the game's GMs. At this moment, Forrest unleashed a powerful energy flow from his staff, enveloping the entire Azathoth. This staff was no ordinary weapon; it was called the [GM Scepter of Domination], granting him control over all the game's GMs simultaneously.

As the behind-the-scenes boss of Excellence Technology, when playing this god-making game with other participants, he would naturally leave himself some backdoors, and this [GM Scepter of Domination] is one of his reliance.

Although GMs cannot directly enter the game to fight for him, they can still help with data analysis.

With the full support of dozens of GMs, the scepter in his hand unleashed its full power. The energy flow continuously scanned the composition of Azathoth, and lines of data, as well as the most primitive structure of the elements, quickly appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the completely exposed structure, Forrest felt a surge of excitement. (Hmph, Xiao Yu, so what if you escaped the cage I set for you? No matter how good you are at the game or how strong you are, this is my world! In this world, you are destined to become my stepping stone.) Forrest thought with a cold laugh.

Meanwhile, on the distant cliff, the men around Naiser also became excited. They could easily see that Forrest was about to succeed.

"The boss looks like he's about to succeed. This is awesome! He'll definitely get a hefty bonus later," one of the subordinates said excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah, this is much better than working yourself to death in the studio before. It's definitely more promising to work with the big boss."

Several people spoke excitedly.

Although Xiao Yu was anxious, he dared not show it on his face. Instead, he deliberately feigned a look of great shock and said to the group, "Listen to me, you have no idea what you are doing. His goal is to create a god to rule the world and all of humanity. Are you really going to help him?"

The group burst into laughter as if they'd heard something utterly ridiculous. "Hahaha, create a god? Rule the world? You've gone mad from playing games! There are no gods in this world, it's just a game. Do you really think we'd believe your nonsense? Are you trying to make us laugh to death with such absurdity? Only an idiot would believe something like that."

These people clearly didn't know the true purpose of the Moha Religion; they simply thought of Forrest as a boss who paid them to help him play games.

However, their words only made Naiser's face darken further. He had previously believed it, but after hearing his subordinates say this, he suddenly felt like an idiot.

(Yes, this is so absurd, how could it possibly be?) he couldn't help but think.

Xiao Yu looked anxious, but he seemed a bit out of place, as if his acting wasn't quite right.

In fact, Xiao Yu wasn't particularly anxious. After all, there are always tall people to hold up the sky. Even if Forrest really succeeded in creating a god, the governments of various countries around the world would definitely be the first to feel threatened.

The henchmen continued talking, "If we could really rule the world, wouldn't that be great? If our boss ruled the world, we could all live a life of luxury. That would be wonderful! But you're in trouble. You dared to go against our boss. If he becomes a god, he'll definitely throw you into Hell!" one of the henchmen shouted, and the others burst into laughter.

These people spoke casually, but Xiao Yu was alarmed. "Damn it, if Forrest really becomes a god, I'm definitely in for a rough time. Looks like I need to step up my game."

As he pondered what to do...

Naiser suddenly said in a deep voice, "No!"

The group was taken aback. "Huh? Boss, what did you say?"

"We can't let his plot succeed!" Naiser's face suddenly hardened with determination. He turned and glanced at Forrest, who was trying to control Azathoth. "Any ambition to rule the world will only bring disaster in the end. I will never allow the entire world to be put in danger for the sake of one person's selfish desires."

"What the hell are you talking about, boss?"

"Boss, don't be fooled by him. How could our boss possibly want to rule the world? Even if he wanted to, it would only be the world within the game."

Naiser shook his head. "I know more about this than you do. It's true that the boss wants to rule the world. I've been struggling with how to deal with this, but now I've suddenly realized that I must stop him."

The group stared at Naiser in surprise, but none of them made a move, seemingly unsure whether Naiser was joking or serious.

Xiao Yu was secretly overjoyed. "Damn, Naiser is going to betray us!" But at this crucial moment, he had to keep up the act.

So he pretended to be terrified and said, "Um, you're not planning to rebel against your boss, are you? Have you thought this through? There won't be a good outcome for you doing this. And if your boss really informs the world, he'll definitely give you all sorts of benefits. Are you really willing to give that up?"

Xiao Yu, however, adopted a manipulative stance, as if he wanted Naiser to betray him. On the surface, he had to pretend to be against it, and only in this way would Naiser believe him.

Sure enough, the more Xiao Yu said this, the more serious Naiser became. He still remembered the selfless and righteous image that Gao Daquan had displayed. Thinking about it now, he was 90% sure that Gao Daquan must have known that he was in a reality show, which was why he was able to act so heroically. Now it was his turn to perform.

"For the safety of the world, for the freedom and peace of mankind, I am willing to bear even the most terrible consequences. Besides, what do personal power and status matter compared to the well-being of all humanity?"

A noble, self-sacrificing glint appeared in his eyes. "For the sake of this world, I must offend you all."

At this point, he suddenly raised the mist in his hand.

Level 9 spell – Time and Space Stop! An invisible wave emanated from Naiser, catching the surrounding people off guard and freezing them in place.

Then Naiser grabbed Xiao Yu.

Level 5 spell - Vector Throw!

Then he suddenly hurled Xiao Yu toward Azathoth's enormous body.

Vector Throw is a spell that can throw an object. The speed and power of the throw are related to the spell level. At this moment, with Naiser casting the spell with all his might, Xiao Yu was like a cannonball, whooshing out in a flash. Before Forrest could react, a black shadow suddenly flew past him and disappeared into his huge body.

"Holy crap, what's going on?" Forrest exclaimed in surprise.

Before he could react, Azathoth's enormous body suddenly moved, its energy reverberating like a black hole, absorbing and assimilating all the energy streams he had released. At the same time, the exclamations of his GMs echoed in his mind.

"Boss, the target is exhibiting unusual energy activity; all data access we released has been revoked."

Azathoth —was awake.
