Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

The game "Godslayer" was co-developed by the top eight gaming companies globally.

Once the game was completed, its operations were handed over to the most advanced AI, ensuring that no human or organization could interfere with the game data.

This guaranteed the fairness of the game and the value of all in-game items and currencies.

As the most popular game in the world, "Godslayer" had already attracted the attention of all players even before its launch.

The official release was supposed to be at noon, but character creation was opened at 11 a.m., allowing players to enter the game one hour earlier to choose their characters and pull their initial talents.

To encourage in-game trading, the game even allowed players to trade initial talents before officially entering the game.

This Game setting excited countless wealthy and powerful players who could use their real-world resources to obtain the most potent initial talents.

John was waiting at his computer at 11 a.m. as well. He was lucky enough to get a "Defense Bonus" talent. Although not a rare one, John was confident that he could become a top player in this popular game with his gaming skills.

However, as he waited for the game to officially launch, he was deceived by a long-time colleague and friend.

This friend, a former guild leader, claimed to have obtained an agility-related talent but preferred defense talents, so he wanted to trade with John.

As a professional assassin player, John naturally preferred agility talents, so he immediately agreed to trade initial talents with his friend.

Unbeknownst to John, his friend had been bought off by the leader of a rival guild, a rich kid.

John had once offended this rich kid by single-handedly challenging his guild's top ten players and reducing him to level 0 to save his friend's guild.

John never expected that his old friend would betray him for money.

To sabotage John and prevent him from becoming a top player in the globally popular game "Godslayer," the rich kid spent a fortune bribing John's friend, who swapped John's initial talent with a lousy "Sacrifice" talent.

...

At this moment, there were about 300 players left in the temple square.

These veteran gamers knew the importance of rare talents for their future strength and refused to leave until the last moment.

As for John, he would never give up easily.

If he deleted his character and started over with a new character, he would never become a top player in this game and have no potential for growth.

Undoubtedly, the rich kid would lead his followers to hunt John down.

If John's talents remained average, he would be left at their mercy.

John's competitive nature could not accept becoming so ordinary.

Moreover, as a professional gamer, John could not give up on the world's most popular game, "Godslayer."

John walked out from under the statue's wing and glanced around.

The players were now dispersed, with no one wanting to gather with others anymore.

Unfortunately, the peace didn't last long.

The temple shook, and the ground split open, revealing a massive stone statue emerging from below.

John looked at the colossal statue in astonishment:

[Rare Boss: Devil Colossus]

[Level: ???]

[HP: ???]

[Skills: ???]

...

No more information was revealed except for the name.

Without hesitation, John ran towards the shadows in the distance.

Thankfully, the temple square was vast enough for John to find hiding places from the enormous Devil Colossus.

As John hid, he heard the horrifying screams of players who were too slow to find cover, getting crushed by the giant Colossus.

You should know that these "Sacrifice" players experienced pain feedback at 100%!

Even John, with his mature mind, felt chills down his spine as he listened to the screams.

John discovered that several players hiding not far from him, upon hearing the screams, hesitated no more and chose to exit the game and delete their characters.

It seemed that they were all afraid of this place...

John sighed helplessly as he watched more and more players die in the square, feeling increasingly conflicted.

Would he be able to keep going with this character if he experienced this kind of pain?

Most importantly, John couldn't see any chance of escaping the temple.

If there really were so-called "Devils" here...

How could he, a level 1 character, escape in front of the Devils?

There was no more time for John to think.

As he pondered, over two hundred of the remaining three hundred players had been crushed to pulp by the Devil Colossus.

Not one of those who died chose to persist; they all opted to delete their characters and start over.

They had endured so much pain that none of them wanted to try a second time.

If they were to be resurrected within this temple, facing the giant statue again, they'd rather start a new character.

The Devil Colossus seemed to have radar; it knew where every player was hiding.

Soon, the remaining players were found one by one. Either crushed underfoot or ground to mush by its hand, they all met a horrifying end.

Another group of players couldn't bear the psychological pressure and chose to quit and delete their characters.

At this point, John was the only player left alive in the temple.

And the giant statue slowly turned its enormous head towards where John was hiding. Then it slowly moved towards him. Each step it took on the ground made the earth tremble and made John feel increasingly desperate.

Just as the statue reached John and reached out its hand to pull him out of hiding...

[Ding, congratulations on being the only survivor among the sacrificed in the temple.]

[Devils have absorbed enough fear and souls, feeling very pleased, so they have decided not to harm you for the time being and have recalled their giant Colossus.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the title 'The Only Surviving Sacrifice,' with +1000 max HP and +100 Stamina.]

[Congratulations on activating the unique hidden class 'God Slayer.']

[God Slayer: Unique hidden class, with the professional trait of not losing any exp, gold coins, or items when killed by gods, gaining extra exp when being killed by gods, and having a very small chance to comprehend divine skills. Also, pain feedback is reduced to 0%.]

A series of system prompts appeared in front of John.

"What???!!!"

Seeing the Pop-ups, John completely forgot that he had just been on the brink of life and death, and even the departure of the giant Colossus in front of him did not catch his attention.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on the description of his class.

God Slayer?!

What an amazing class!

He never thought that the trash talent 'Sacrifice' would activate such an incredible unique hidden class after all other sacrifices deleted their characters!

After a while, John came back to his senses.

He found that the boss that had killed many players had returned to the crevice in the ground.

Was it really like the system pop-up said, the Devils were satisfied and recalled the statue?

If so, he wasn't in danger now. He simply walked out of his hiding spot and looked around again.

After he was the only one left, the temple became eerily quiet, so quiet that it induced an unbearable fear.

At that moment, a loud rumble sounded.

A massive stone archway rose in front of the temple square. Inside the arch, light and space were bizarrely distorted.

And intuition told John...

As long as he passed through this strange giant stone gate, he would encounter the legendary Devils in this game!
