The Boss Behind The Game

As Gu Yu's soul was immovable, the pair of evil eyes turned its gaze onto Sun Qi, who was trembling while standing at the side.

"Woof!" Sun Qi was so scared that he barked on reflex.

However, the Demonic God merely spared him a glance before turning its attention back onto Gu Yu.

Wait, is that contempt I see? Pah! You have bad taste in vessels! Sun Qi was scared, but he was also grumbling in his mind.

"Lend me your body as a vessel, which will be returned after I kill Hiderigami. When that is done, I will grant you enormous power!" the pair of eyes stared directly at Gu Yu as the voice resounded in his head.

"Fuck off! I'm not interested in lending anything!" Gu Yi replied angrily.

Right at this moment, the game's notification tone chimed:

[The Ancient Grudge (Hidden Quest): Let the Demonic God assume control of your body for three hours. When the lending period is over, you will receive the Demonic God's strength as a reward!]

…...

"Are you sure about this?" Bei Li asked as she looked at Lu Wu, seemingly feeling touched.

"Yup. Since you said that you owe the Demonic God a favor, then I agree with it!" Lu Wu replied with a charming smile on his face.

"Thanks a lot. But rest assured, it's only for three hours. When the three hours are up, the artifact will remove the Demonic God's evil consciousness from his body. Gu Yu will definitely not be harmed!" Bei Li said confidently.

Lu Wu nodded. He trusted Bei Li's decision.

…...

As the mission appeared, deep underground, a floating contract appeared in the Demonic God's mind.

[Swearing on the Demonic God's body, under the witness of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Gu Yu's body shall be borrowed for three hours. Upon completion, power shall be granted to the host!]

The mission appeared at one side, while the other side received a Supreme Reincarnation contract. Both sides were stunned.

It seems that he is truly the descendant of a deity...

Now, the Demonic God was sure of Gu Yu's identity.

On the other hand, Gu Yu's determined attitude started to waver when he saw the mission. This was especially tempting as it was a Hidden Quest, meaning that it would not appear anymore if he chose to ignore it.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Gu Yu looked up and said awkwardly, "Umm… Mr. Demonic God… maybe we can discuss this just a little more?"

"Say no more! I agree with your reincarnation contract, I only need three hours!" the Demonic God replied.

Gu Yu was speechless at how fast the Demonic God agreed to this.

The Demonic God then left a mental imprint on the reincarnation contract, while Gu Yu decided to accept the mission.

"Emancipate your body!" the demon's voice appeared in Gu Yu's mind once again as the black mist attempted to re-enter his body.

At this point, Lu Wu finally lifted the ownership restrictions on Gu Yu's body.

Gu Yu instantly sensed that his body was no longer under his control. Although he could still observe what was going on in the outside world, he had lost the ability to manipulate his actions.

However, what happened next shocked Gu Yu to the core.

…...

A series of notifications popped up continuously, completely throwing Gu Yu for a loop. As the notifications kept on appearing, he could feel that his body was being flooded with endless power.

The good thing was that this power was not under his control, but rather the Demonic God's evil consciousness. If not, Gu Yu's body might have imploded on the spot due to the immense overflow of strength.

The newly empowered Gu Yu stood up slowly. A pair of flame-wreathed black wings sprouted from his back. Flames that were the color of blood burned in his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Yu had the absurd feeling that he could kill ten people at once by flicking them away with his bare hands. The power was so terrifyingly strong that even Gu Yu's soul was trembling from the pressure.

"I will keep my promise. Once everything is done, your body shall be returned to you, deity descendant!"

Upon saying that, Gu Yu's face morphed into a smirk. Then, he sank downwards and launched himself up into the sky with great force. The mountain peak crumbled from the aftershocks of his takeoff.

"Bring him along!" Gu Yu urged the Demonic God when he caught sight of Sun Qi tumbling in the air.

The Demonic God glanced at Sun Qi before stretching out his right hand. A wisp of black mist emerged, wrapping around Sun Qi and securing him in place to fly behind them.

Then, the Demonic God flapped his wings. The world turned into a blur and everything around them disappeared into a sea of white light.

When their surroundings became clear again, Gu Yu and Sun Qi noticed that they were hovering above a clearing that was littered by corpses.

Sun Qi, who was stunned speechless, suddenly thought of something. He quickly opened up the settings menu and turned on live streaming.

[Oh my god, my boss transformed into an evil god! He's going to bring disaster onto the Land of Beiqi. What should I do?]

As the Demonic God surveyed the corpse-littered clearing, he suddenly plummeted downwards, crashing into the earth like a meteor.

When the countless bones spirits that spawned in the burial grounds, as well as the players that were grinding in this area lifted their heads, they were shocked to see a blazing ball of flame descend from the sky, crashing thunderously into the ground.

Blinding rays of light were emitted from the impact point.

Kaboom!

Originating from the point of impact, all the skeletons and corpses within a five mile radius were obliterated by the tremendous wave of energy. Right in the middle of it was a crater than spanned a few hundred feet. Everything within the area of attack was destroyed by the Demonic God's unbelievable strength.

"Hiderigami!"

The Demonic God roared angrily. He raised his fist, and drove it viciously into the ground.

Boom!

The ground trembled under the force of his blow.

…...

At this moment, Sun Qi's live streaming channel had gained a truckload of viewers.

"This is the first thing I see upon joining! What the hell happened? (shocked emoji)"

"Who's this guy? How can he be so strong? Is he a Super Saiyan?"

"It's like a meteor crashing into Earth! What the fuck, who is this burning guy? Can anyone enlighten us?"

"Where is the host? Can you please explain what's happening? Why does this guy bear such a grudge toward the ground? Why is he tearing up the earth so badly?"

"The host is the little dog, right? No wonder he looks so familiar. (laughing emoji)"

"Little white doggy, please explain what's happening in your livestream! We want all the juicy details!"

Sun Qi replied: "Fellow friends, maybe you won't believe this, but this guy is my boss. He is also the leader of the Myth Guild, known to most by his username Invincible_Loneliness. Currently he is possessed by the Demonic God, which means that he is currently destroying the world. As for the reason why he kept pummeling the ground, my hypothesis is that he's trying to drill a hole right through Earth as a warm up activity!
