The Ultimate Battle of Trash Talk

"What?! A hostage crisis has occurred in Earth Online?! Damn it, damn it!"

Old Li slammed down the phone, glanced at the crowd behind him— the National Guard Bureau's cybersecurity agent and the National Network Bureau personnel—all staring at him expectantly.

"Everyone, move out immediately! Capture Forrest and shut down Excellence Technology!"

Although Excellence Technology has powerful backers, that's nothing compared to the safety of millions of players. Those powerful backers of Excellence Technology are probably eager to sever ties with it right now.

In a sense, Shen Yuan's act of playing with fire gave Old Li a huge opportunity to completely eradicate the Excellence Technology God, the Moha Religion.

However, Old Li was not happy about this. On the contrary, he felt unusually heavy-hearted. His worst fears had come true. Tens of millions of players were trapped in the game. If the situation could not be resolved and these players could not be rescued, it would definitely be the most sensational event of this century.

The only saving grace is that, because Excellence Technology is a multinational corporation and Earth Online is set in a virtual Earth, the game has a wide range of players. Of these thirteen million players, it is estimated that only about two million are from China, and the rest are from other countries.

If everyone suffers misfortune, then he won't have to bear too much responsibility.

Now he has another worry: what if something like this happens during the War of the Gods? That would be disastrous.

It's worth noting that the number of players in the War of the Gods is several times that of Earth Online, and today is a crucial moment in the War of the Three Gods, with the number of online players reaching its peak, totaling over 100 million.

Moreover, more than a third of them are Chinese players, which is over 30 million. If they were all banned at once, the whole world would go crazy.

As Old Li led his men, he didn't forget to tell Chenghong Moli, "Go online right now and send a message to Xiao Yu. Tell him to stop Forrest's conspiracy no matter what he's going to do. It would be best if he could kill all those gods."

"Understood," Chenghong Moli said, turning around and entering the game.

Xiao Yu was unaware of the immense responsibility he was facing. He was watching his army pass through the Dark Portal, but due to the sheer size of the army, it took a full half hour for them to pass through Dark Portal.

"Hahaha, Lost Continent, I, Azathoth, have returned!" Passing through the Dark Portal, standing on the snow-covered hillside, watching his army continuously pour out of the Dark Portal, and looking at the hundreds of thousands of Chaos Cultists waiting for him around the Dark Portal, Xiao Yu thought with great pride.

Suddenly, a message appeared in the private chat channel.

Chenghong Moli: "Captain, something terrible has happened! Earth Online has been quarantined by Shen Yuan. This time, over ten million players are trapped. The higher-ups are afraid that Forrest will also quarantine the game 'War of the Gods'. They've ordered you to stop Forrest no matter what he does!"

Xiao Yu was immediately startled upon hearing this. "Damn it, how could this happen? Shen Yuan did it again, and this time on a larger scale!" He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Understood, leave this to me."

Having said that, he glanced at the massive army gathered around him. The army that had already passed through the Dark Portal numbered at least several hundred thousand. There was no way he could wait any longer.

Thinking this, he shouted to his men, "All troops, attack! Target: the Battlefield of the Gods! Charge!"

After saying that, he set off with his army of elemental creatures and Chaos cultists.

After a period of time -- Battlefield of the Gods:

At this point, two of the three gods were missing, leaving only Forrest, the Creator God, who was carrying out the final step of the creation ceremony.

He has told these player followers that he will surely defeat Azathoth and become the one true god. All the players need to do is chant the name of the great Creator God together, summon the Creator God to descend into this world together, and pray for the appearance of the Creator God. Whether in reality or in the game, he will respond to his followers.

"My believers, your devotion will be rewarded. The moment my divine power returns to this world, everyone who believes in me will receive supreme glory. After your death, you will enter my eternal divine kingdom and enjoy eternal bliss. Now, devoutly honor me, believe in me! Recite my name, just as I taught you before. When I descend, this world will usher in a new era—the Age of God!"

World Announcement: The War of the Gods has reached its final stage. When the ultimate victorious god descends, the [Divine Descent] world event will begin. All players participating in the [Divine Descent] event must pray to the Only True God who will emerge victorious in the War of the Gods. Upon completion of this task, all players who participated in the prayer will receive a mysterious grand prize issued by the system.

Hearing the voice and words of the Creator God, the players who had been watching the battle looked at each other, all very hesitant.

Some had already begun reciting, while others were still hesitant, but humans have a herd mentality, and more and more people joined in the prayer.

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, abruptly silencing the prayers of countless believers.

Azathoth: "Forrest, your plot has no chance of succeeding, for I am the true god."

"What!" Forrest turned around and saw a dark cloud looming overhead.

"It's Azathoth!"

"Holy crap, it's the God of Chaos!"

"Wait a minute, isn't this the boss from the Sky World?"

Players gasped in surprise, especially those who had encountered Azathoth in the Sky World before. What was with this boss from a different game suddenly appearing?

"Haha, you've come at the right time! I have obtained all the Power of Faith. Now, tremble before the power of the true god!"

With the infusion of more and more Power of Faith, the phantom of the Creator God behind Forrest had now become almost tangible.

Azathoth: "Shut up, you pathetic ant!"

Xiao Yu, however, was not afraid at all. He was not afraid of anyone when it came to verbal sparring. The power of Azathoth that he had regained and the elemental power he had absorbed in the Chaos Domain made him feel stronger and more confident than ever before.

Azathoth: "You are nothing but a laughable false god, presumptuously claiming the title of creator, yet no one knows the truth better than I do."

This world originated from chaos and will eventually return to chaos. Your so-called power of creation is meaningless to me, because some things are even older than this world itself!

The world you created is built on the fringes of my domain, merely rubble I haven't yet paid attention to. But soon, all of this will come to an end. Only chaos will be the final destination of all things, and you and your world will also perish.

The Creator God: "Hahaha, foolish God of Chaos, blind Azathoth, you have no idea how great my existence is. This world was created by me, even the chaos you control was created by me. You think you understand the truth of the world, the true face of the universe, but that is nothing more than a drop in the ocean that I have shown you."

"Damn, this guy's trash talk is amazing?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling like he had met his match.

But he won't give up so easily.

Azathoth: "Insolence! Your fabricated lies have deceived even yourself. It's time to end this farce and witness the power of chaos!"

As Xiao Yu spoke, the chaotic energy within his body transformed into a beam in his hand, directly blasting towards the Creator God.

This move was devoid of any fancy tricks or techniques; it was a straightforward and powerful blast of Power of Chaos from within his body. Xiao Yu knew that against a powerful enemy like the Creator God, any skill or trickery would be meaningless.

The phantom of the Creator God flickered continuously under the impact of the chaotic rays. The Creator God's body, which had previously seemed almost tangible, was now flickering incessantly.

Unfortunately, although the two gods were defeated, not all players chose to believe in the Creator God. The Power of Faith he currently possesses is at most two-thirds, and many of the newly converted believers are merely general believers who cannot provide much Power of Faith.

Even the Creator God didn't expect the other side to attack so suddenly.

This bombardment instantly destroyed a significant amount of Power of Faith.

He was filled with shock and anger. "Damn it, don't be so smug! I am the God of Creation, the maker of the universe, the creator of the stars, the Overlord of all things. I said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."

The Creator God casually pointed, and a golden beam of light descended from the sky, crashing down on Azathoth and causing Azathoth to tremble violently.

This move, however, is a new skill acquired after seizing the divine domain of the God of Light.

Witty talk? Hmph, you're way behind that.

Azathoth: "I am the God of Chaos, the destroyer of the universe, the end of all things. This universe originated from chaos and is destined to return to chaos. Before the power of chaos, even the power of light cannot escape this predetermined fate."

As he spoke, he casually pointed in the direction where the beam of light was shooting down from the sky—a black hole!

This is not Simulated Black Hole, but a real black hole created by the Power of Chaos.

Even light cannot escape the gravitational pull of a black hole; the beams of light were dragged and twisted, eventually disappearing into the black hole.

This completely stunned Forrest. He hadn't expected the God of Chaos to be so powerful, capable of absorbing even light. It was obvious that his other techniques were useless.

It seems we have no choice but to fight it out—no, perhaps there's another way!
