I've Become the King of Villains in the Game
Chapter 906 - 587: Player: Can’t Play

Royal City.

Bixie Crost.

Sun Palace, Council Hall.

Sitting at the head seat was a young and elegant lady, dressed in a white gown, the hem of which flared into wave-like pleats, adorned with petal motifs in lace. Her long golden hair was intricately styled into an elaborate updo, complemented by a diamond-inlaid tiara, lending her an air of nobility.

Standing behind her was the steward Babayeh, on her left was the Royal Chief Secretary Franco, and on her right sat the Judgment Chief of the Imperial Judgement Group, McCollin.

Seated along the long conference table below were the major heads of the Seven Gods Church.

"Princess Anna, according to the latest intelligence from the Judiciary, Speaker Jack Spett of the Generous Council, Your Majesty, has led an expedition team to counter-attack into the deeper parts of the Spirit World, and it has now been confirmed they’ve officially entered the Dark World…"

Holding a confidential report in his hands, McCollin spoke gravely.

All those attending the meeting were taken aback.

They all turned their gazes towards the seats of the Generous Council, where Governing Officer Randa’s face stiffened, feeling as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

"Your Majesty Randa, may I ask you to please explain to everyone present why Speaker Jack Spett suddenly declared war on the Dark World?"

From the Sun Church’s seat, Pope Diveny spoke without expression.

"Although His Majesty Jack is a demigod, this move is overly risky. Without the Royal Council’s permission, attacking the Dark World recklessly could provoke a more severe backlash, potentially inflicting irreparable damage on the Empire…"

Camacho, the High Priest of the Hailing Group, suddenly added in a melancholy tone:

"The Father of Darkness is an Ancient God of primeval existence, a source of darkness and pollution, always in a state of blind idiocy, only constantly creating Didak Bug People and pollution without ever leaving the ends of darkness impulsively… But if His Majesty Jack’s expedition team provokes Him, the eventual consequences are hard to predict."

Everyone’s expressions became more solemn, as the leaders of the History and Ritual Association, Constellation Sect, and Madman School frowned.

With everyone’s eyes upon him, Randa felt immense pressure.

He took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone:

"I trust in Speaker Jack’s decision-making… The counter-attack is indeed risky, but now the pollution has already spread to the present world, with Didak Bug People appearing endlessly. The Shelter and Seven Gods Church branches across the Empire are overwhelmed. If this continues, I’m afraid the situation will only become harder to control…"

Randa raised his head and looked straight at the leaders.

"Speaker Jack has gathered millions of transcendent Undead Foreigners. Even if this counter-attack cannot completely suppress the Father of Darkness, it can wipe out most of the pollution tide, buying the Empire several more years."

Hearing that Jack had gathered millions of transcendent Undead Foreigners, the attendees couldn’t help but change their expressions, while Diveny’s face became even more somber.

He spoke slowly:

"Even if that’s the case, I’m not optimistic… Unless Your Majesty the Sun King personally sets out with the ’Sunlight Spear,’ no one below the Angel Rank can harm the Father of Darkness in the slightest."

In reality, all the high-ranking individuals present understood the Father of Darkness as well.

They were reluctant to speak of it, but shared the same view as Diveny in their hearts… Although Ancient God Distardack is not a True God, his authority and power definitely surpass those of ordinary angels, with Jack Spett being far inferior.

Unless King of Slaughter Conrad acts secretly.

But since the massacre in Sunset City occurred not long ago, this King of Angels is likely still digesting the last piece of authority and preparing for divinity, making it unlikely he will intervene.

Hence, Jack’s mission is likely to end in failure…

"The Generous Council is one of the Seven Righteous God Churches. Speaker Jack’s actions are both exemplary and courageous; I deeply admire him… After all, who else dares to stand up and face the terrifying Father of Darkness and the endless pollution tide?"

From the Moon Church’s seat, old nun Olmido suddenly spoke.

Due to Prince Dazlert’s presence being erased, this Moon Saint harbors no resentment towards the Royal Family, having no memory of past events.

"Alas, even so, we should prepare for the worst-case scenario."

Madman School’s great scholar Hernandez sighed.

"If Speaker Jack’s expedition team ultimately returns defeated, and the Father of Darkness is enraged, how should we respond?"

The atmosphere suddenly became cold and quiet.

In the deeper regions of the Spirit World and the Dark World, the pollution tides are countless. If they fully descend into the present world, the entire Empire, and even the whole Sun Continent, would be eroded… At that point, the Judgment Group and Seven Gods Church acting together might still fail to resist.

The best-case scenario would be to hold on to one small area, relinquishing most of the territory.

Everyone understood this but was unwilling to speak it aloud.

At this moment, Princess Anna finally spoke softly from the head seat:

"There’s no need for further debate on this, I represent the Royal Family and fully support Speaker Jack Spett’s counter-attack operation…"

Her expression was placid as she responded to the surprised glances from everyone below the table.

Jack’s attack on the Dark World actually indirectly helped her brother Arno, helping the Proud Sun alleviate pressure.

Just from this perspective, she wished to stand on Jack’s side.

"Regarding what to do if it ends in failure… I trust Father King will not watch the Tresor Empire swallowed by darkness."

Princess Anna said flatly.

Her meaningful gaze swept over each leader.

As the ruler of the Empire, Anna certainly knew that the Seven Gods Church each had their own reserves and trump cards. When survival and destruction are at stake, they wouldn’t remain passive… In the worst case, if the present world collapses, it would mean the loss of the Seven Gods’ anchor points, and the Church would never watch such a thing happen with folded arms.

The attendees remained silent.

The princess’s words indeed left them with no counter-argument…

"Ah!!"

"The number of Bug People is too great!"

"We can’t hold them back at all!!"

The players screamed in agony, dying one after another.

In the Dark World, the expedition team faced unprecedented devastation.

The level of danger here far exceeded that of the shallow parts of the Spirit World.

In the darkness, advancing was extremely difficult.

The expedition team had to create light manually for illumination, but in doing so, they were like live targets, constantly attracting the Didak Bug People.

Most players, who were still in the Low Sequence, barely made it here with the help of potions, and with their perception blocked, their strength was severely diminished.

If attacked by the Bug People, there was almost no chance to fight back.

The Bug People came in various forms but were all top hunters in the dark, with physical attributes comparable to seasoned Mid Sequence Transcendents. Even the Golden Cup councillors found these Ancient God descendants extremely troublesome, let alone the players.

In less than two hours, over two hundred thousand players were lost here, returning to the Resurrection Point in the real world.

And as they proceeded, the number of players continued to decline rapidly.

Many fallen players cursed loudly, and game forum posts increased at a rapid pace, though the content varied slightly, the core message was the same——

Unplayable!

This damn Dark World is definitely a late-game map!

Completely unplayable!

"Master Qiaoke..."

Under the dozens of light spots created by the Illumination Spell, Councilor Frey and several Golden Cup councillors cautiously approached the robed figure, bowing their heads with reverence.

"We don’t know why the Didak Bug People’s attacks have become more frequent, and there are even powerful Bug People comparable to the Incarnation of the Saint mixed in, making it difficult to manage the whole situation. At this rate, most of the Undead Foreigners might be lost..."

The robed Qiaoke pondered silently.

From a perspective that Frey and the others couldn’t see, he secretly opened the panel.

He silently observed the curse named "Blasphemer..."

[Blasphemer LVMAX (Curse)]

Curse Description: Your hands are stained with the blood of Ancient God descendants, and you have become the God’s Adversary opposing darkness!

You are a thorn in the eyes of dark believers, god-favored, and descendants, who constantly seek your whereabouts, chasing you following this mark!

With darkness, you are in an unending battle!

Curse Effect: All Attributes -5 (Mysterious Resistance has exempted this effect)

’So aside from the fact that the expedition team is indeed imposing and attracting Bug People’s attention with lights... the real key is that I’m continually drawing aggression?’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

This curse, invisibly maxed out by the efforts of players and the Solar Cross Society, had effects that were overwhelming.

Just standing at the back of the team, the entire Dark World’s Bug People, dark believers, and clans could instantly smell the odor, swarming towards them like crazy.

Especially the four expedition teams where the Four Knights of Destiny were located, which suffered attacks from the majority of the dark creatures.

Players were beaten dizzy, unable to find north from south.

’Forget it, this place is indeed not for Low Sequence players…’

Chen Lun decisively abandoned this group of players.

The robed Qiaoke hoarsely said:

"Don’t worry, keep moving forward."

Frey and the others were taken aback at first, then nodded in agreement, saying:

"Yes, sir."

More hours passed.

The expedition team was slaughtered by the Bug People until only a "scattered remnant" was left.

The overwhelming majority of players died halfway, leaving only seven or eight thousand Mid Sequence high-level players, who continued to follow the Golden Cup councillors and Circus cadres onward.

The originally ten teams also completed their final convergence, forming one complete team.

The millions of fallen players cried out in anguish.

The game forum was full of pessimism.

"This Main Quest is doomed to fail… Ninety-nine percent of the players didn’t even see the final BOSS before dying, and it’s almost impossible to catch up with the main group again!"

"Players’ overall progress is still too slow…"

"If everyone were like Beizi Ge, this quest would be a breeze!"

"Watch what nonsense you’re saying?"

"Short response: Unplayable."

Many live streams of the Main Quest process were shut down, with few remaining, including Su Keying’s stream.

However, this turned out to be a good thing for her.

Because the millions of audiences who had nowhere to go ended up being absorbed by her.

Su Keying glanced at her stream’s viewer count, which had reached over twelve million, truly startling her… As a small streamer, she had never experienced such a vast audience, her heart raced, and her face nearly split from smiling.

Immediately, she shared this good news with her team.

"Amazing, Keying."

Wei Yin quietly said in the dark.

"Give me more screen time later, let all the players see that besides Beizi Ge, there’s also Dogzi Ge holding the fort!"

Doghead Gold moved close to the camera and whispered.

Dongyang Polaris and others secretly rolled their eyes.

The live chat scrolled by with countless "Ugly" and "Get Lost," almost making Doghead Gold furious.

Hidden in the invisible, Chen Lun once again checked the panel.

Although he lost most of the low-level players, by using them as bait along the way, he had harvested quite a lot of Experience Points, overall he was quite satisfied——

[Experience Points: 9152W/470W]
