The Great Calamity Descends: Crisis or Opportunity?
When sanity is below 10, attack speed and movement speed double, but you cannot control your target.
When sanity drops below 0, the user will transform into a monster capable of indiscriminate attacks for 1-24 hours.
(Note: If your sanity is repeatedly reduced to zero, there is a certain probability that you will be completely Chaos Devour and become Chaos Familiars.)
[Sanity: 80/150 (Bonus +50 for Bond Points, 1 point regenerates automatically per hour)]
[Bond - Chaos Hunter (Activated by 100 players): All attributes +20%, Sanity +50, and activates the 'Sanity Restoration' skill.]
(Note: They come from an ancient underground tribe whose members have lived underground for generations.)
Until one day, they witnessed their homeland being destroyed by Chaos, and countless members of their people being assimilated into the Chaos Familiars.
The surviving members of their tribe swore revenge and made hunting chaotic creatures their life's goal.
However, all chaotic creatures contain powerful Power of Chaos. If mortals come into contact with it for a long time, they will be eroded and distorted, eventually turning into mindless monsters.
So they chose another path, actively incorporating this power into their bodies and merging with the chaos.
From then on, they walked alongside chaos, forever teetering on the edge of being Chaos Devour.
"With over 400 in all four stats from the start, plus that series of burst skills, it truly lives up to its reputation as a unit worth ten million points; it's incredibly strong."
Shen Xing nodded secretly.
It's worth noting that even a typical Boss One Star boss unit only has attributes of around two or three hundred.
These Chaos Hunter, despite only having the potential of Elite Three Stars, were able to crush Boss One Star of the same rank, demonstrating just how extraordinary their attributes were.
Of course, this is not because their initial attributes were so high, but because of the Golden Ancient Tree's 'Golden Child's Blessing' and Kratos's Crown Rank powers.
"These Chaos Hunter, judging from the notes, seem to have an extraordinary background."
"But now is not the time to focus on these things."
Shen Xing withdrew his gaze and then looked at the burly man beside him. "Kratos, choose four Chaos Hunter to become your King's Royal Guard."
As for which skills to inherit, that's up to you.
Kratos didn't say anything, he just nodded.
Then he came before the group of Chaos Hunter, his towering figure so imposing that they could hardly lift their heads.
"You, you, and you, step forward!"
Kratos pointed to four people in the crowd, then raised his battle blade and pointed it at them in the air.
Rays of chaotic light descended, causing a sword-shaped mark to appear on the foreheads of these individuals.
They were also granted two Boss skills, [Scylla's Bane] and [God's Wrath], plus the area-of-effect skill [Njord's Tempest].
This is also Kratos's strongest burst skill, enough to greatly boost the combat power of these four Chaos Hunter, allowing them to easily crush even Boss Three Stars of the same tier.
Similarly, due to his Crown Rank authority, he will gain a full 40% increase in melee damage and lifesteal as long as these four King's Guardian are nearby.
As a result, Kratos's power surged once again.
Unlike Luna's role as a reaper, this character is a true war maniac, skilled in both one-on-one combat and group attacks.
If we only look at his attributes, he is already the strongest in the territory.
Meanwhile, after Kratos completed his coronation as the 'King's Royal Guard,' Gorehowl's Metamorphosis was nearing its end.
The red beam of light gradually shrank, while the aura of the man and the wolf inside soared like a rocket!
"Awoo!"
As the giant crimson wolf howled to the sky, the tall orc on top raised his greatsword, flames shooting straight into the heavens!
A system prompt then appeared.
[Your territory hero: Gorehowl has officially advanced to Overlord ★!]
[This evolution: All attributes +45%, Agility +3000!]
[Class: War Knight → War Commander]
[Activate the Overlord Domain: Bloody Battle on the Battlefield]
As the notification ended, Gorehowl Emperor officially advanced to Overlord Rank creature!
His body exuded a strong, almost tangible, blood-red aura, like a battle-hardened general who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, making countless orcs extremely envious.
Shen Xing ignored Gorehowl pose and instead opened his skill panel to check his domain attributes.
[Bloody Battle on the Battlefield]
[Effect: Releases one's own blood energy, transforming the land within a 1000-meter radius into land stained with blood.]
All friendly and enemy units that step onto this land will be corrupted by its aura.
Each critical hit by a friendly unit grants 1 stack of 'War Fervor,' increasing attack power and attack speed by 1%. Killing an enemy grants 5 stacks, with a maximum stack count of 50.
Each time an enemy unit's attack hits a target, it gains 1 stack of 'Chaos Rhapsody'. Once it stacks to 30, it will be in a state of chaos for 3 seconds, indiscriminately attacking nearby targets.
Outbreak Mode: The Bloody Battle on the Battlefield expands to three kilometers, with blood gushing across the ground like a confluence of hundreds of rivers.
All friendly units within the area share the Fervor stacks, and the maximum stack size is increased to 100.
Enemy units immediately enter a state of 'Confusion' and gain 2 stacks of 'Chaos Rhapsody' every 1 second.
Lasts 30 seconds, cooldown time 24 hours.
(Note: "Within this region, war never ceases!")
"There's something special about this field..."
"In its normal form, it increases the attack speed and attack power of allies by 50%, and in its burst form, this can even reach 100%."
"Furthermore, it can inflict extremely severe disruption on the enemy, making it incredibly versatile."
After analyzing it, Shen Xing was very satisfied with Gorehowl's area of expertise.
At this moment, Gorehowl, having completed its Metamorphosis, stood among the crowd, basking in the worship of the other orcs.
A blood-red banner was planted on his back, and he wielded a flaming greatsword; wherever he went, the earth turned crimson.
"Wow! Gorehowl General looks so cool in this outfit!"
"General Gorehowl, what's with that banner on your back? Get me one too!"
"That's awesome! Gorehowl feels more than twice as powerful as before!"
Gorehowl listened to the orcs' discussion, his eyes narrowed, a smug smile on his face.
Shen Xing stared at it for a moment, then silently looked away.
Then he looked into the crowd and saw a tall figure.
"Leina, come to me."
As the words fell, a red figure stepped out.
Her red hair flowed freely, her feathered robe swayed gently, and she exuded a scorching yet sacred aura.
Kratos, standing to the side, looked at Leina with a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he sensed a special aura about her.
"My lord, please give your orders," the red-haired mage said softly.
Shen Xing nodded slightly, then took out the bottle of [Ancient Tree of Life Essence]: "Here, drink this."
"Yes."
Leina nodded gently, took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured it directly into her mouth.
The whole process was completed in one go, without the slightest hesitation.
And the medicine entered the throat in less than three seconds.
A powerful and pure life force erupted from this red-haired mage!
"Boom!"
As if breaking through some kind of constraint, a faint sound of something shattering could be heard.
"Click!"
Everyone turned their heads, their gazes involuntarily falling on the red-haired mage.
One can see that red flames are burning on its body, and a tall, phantom goddess slowly emerges behind it.
The phantom had been in a blurry state, and its features were not clearly visible.
But now, everyone can clearly see that the phantom opened its eyes.
A pair of orange-red eyes, slowly rotating like the sun!
Chapter 298: Calamity Approaches, Crisis or Opportunity?
The phantom behind Leina opened its eyes.
At this moment, an incomparably ardent, majestic, and sacred aura rose up.
Every living being that was swept by those eyes felt a burning sensation rising from the depths of their soul.
It felt as if I were standing naked under the scorching sun, every corner of my body, including my heart, was illuminated by the sun.
Even more miraculously, the 'Sacred Flame Platform' in the territory suddenly burst into flames at this moment!
The diameter has increased dramatically from four kilometers to ten kilometers.
The entire territory became incredibly bright, and everyone's eyes showed expressions of disbelief.
"What... what happened to Lady Leina?" Onyxia murmured to herself, "It seems like she possesses a power beyond her comprehension..."
Shen Xing kept his eyes glued to Leina's attribute panel, focusing on the [Aptitude] interface.
He clearly saw that the 90 points of aptitude displayed above began to fluctuate at that moment.
It surged to 91 points and is still growing at a slow pace.
"As expected... he has broken through the limits of his aptitude."
A smile appeared on Shen Xing's lips.
But before he could even feel happy, a blood-gold notification message appeared before his eyes.
[A being has broken through the barriers of its inherent potential, attempting to become a perfect being!]
However, the universe is flawed; perfect beings are not permitted by the rules, and a great calamity is imminent!
As the notification ended, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through, causing the temperature across the entire territory to plummet.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, goosebumps rising on their skin!
