The Boss Behind The Game

As the news of the majestic fight spread through the game, more and more players tuned into the livestream broadcast. At this point, the broadcast had amassed a whopping 4.5 million viewers, which meant that practically all players of the game were watching.

The comment section was flooded by numerous terrifying comments, as everyone was shocked by the unprecedented scale of the battle.

Other than the players, even the elite of the land of Beiqi were alerted by the Demonic God's presence.

Within the Illusion Zone, a pure white crane froze as it turned to look northwest. It mumbled uncertainly, "I sense the Demonic God's aura. Did he escape?"

Within Evil Nightmare City, the 3,000 Evil Yin Soldiers who were slumbering deep in the palace opened their eyes, which flashed with an eerie green light.

Within the Ascension Zone, the Ghostly King of Snakes, who was devouring a huge boar, started to tremble involuntarily.

In the Void Ocean, thirty thousand meters below the sea, the slumbering Tao Wu opened his eyes. Then, he raised his head and a stream of bubbles escaped from his mouth. It was clear that he was extremely excited.

On the Barren Grassland...

In the Arctic Abyss...

Among the Northern Rocks...

…...

One by one, these elites were alerted by the Demonic God's aura. All of them turned to face the direction of the Burial Grounds, falling deep in thought.

On the Cliffs of Desperation, the white-haired old man pushed the door open. His hump-backed figure faced the Burial Grounds as his murky eyes gradually cleared up.

"I truly hope that after you exact your revenge, you would finally let go of your anger and negative emotions and be a righteous deity. Only then would I be able to fulfill the order of setting you free!"

The Demonic God and Hiderigami were still engaged in battle. As the fight intensified, both parties continued to dish out immense area-of-effect attacks. The scale of destruction wrought upon their battleground caused many players' jaws to drop.

The Demonic God's eight arms held a blood-colored battle axe each, while two of the zombified snakes behind Hiderigami had already been decapitated.

Facing off against such a tough yet persistent enemy, Hiderigami became more and more agitated. He stretched out his hands and drew several Divine Seals in front of him. A blood array appeared in the air behind him, which expanded rapidly and covered his entire being in the blink of an eye.

"Let the sky and earth be awash in blood!"

Upon hearing Hiderigami's enraged howl, the blood array rose into the sky as its surface area increased rapidly. In a few moments, it had spread out to cover the entire sky.

A series of sharp blood pillars appeared within the formation. Then, they aimed themselves at the Demonic God and rocketed toward him.

"Roar!"

The Demonic God raised all eight of his muscular arms as he bellowed at the sky. Then, he started to hurl his arms around, repelling the projectiles that attempted to pierce his skin.

As the number of blood pillars increased, the Demonic God's arms turned into a blur, frenziedly blocking the aerial attacks.

"Great Demonic Seal - red!"

Since the blood pillars were getting too much for him to handle, the Demonic God raised his right leg and stomped forcefully on the ground.

A single horn slowly emerged from his forehead as the scorching hell in his eyes turned into blazing hellfire.

Then, a rapidly whirling ball of purple energy started to gather at the tip of his horn.

"Buzz... buzz..."

As the buzzing sound of energy gathering started to resound through the battlefield, the purple energy ball became larger and larger, until it reached full formation. At that instant, the Demonic God suddenly stopped waving his arms around and aimed his horn at the blood array in the sky.

"Roar!"

A pillar of purple light tore through the sky and collided with the blood array.

At that moment, the sky was shrouded by rays of blinding light. Waves of excess energy radiated throughout the battleground.

"Don't you dare, Demonic God!"

Hiderigami arched his head as he looked at the sky. Endless streams of Blood Qi emanated from his body, rising up into the blood array to provide a steady source of power.

Currently, the Demonic God's eyes were cloaked by a layer of purple energy. He opened his mouth slightly, where more purple energy started to congregate once again.

"Roar!"

Another beam of light was emitted from the Demonic God's mouth. It barrelled through the sky and converged with the first pillar of energy. At that instant, the combined force of both energy pillars generated an unprecedented level of destructive power.

Crack!

The blood array in the sky fractured, with cracks spreading all across it like spiderwebs.

Blood-colored fragments started to fall from the sky turning into a shower of crimson light. Hiderigami's blood array had been shattered completely.

"It's over!" the Demonic God snarled as he raised his head to look at Hiderigami, who was clearly in panic after this turn of events.

"Great Demonic Art - Calamity!"

When the Demonic God's last word fell, a wisp of purple vapor drifted from the direction of the Cliffs of Desperation and dissolved into his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth started to quake as the Demonic God's skin turned from red to purple. Scales that were carved with mysterious symbols erupted all over his body, while his body mass and height started to increase exponentially. In the blink of an eye, he had surpassed even the underworld deities and turned into a colossal presence that was as intimidating as a tremendous mountain.

Hiderigami was utterly shocked when it saw this scene. It had never imagined that the Demonic God would possess such frightening power despite being a mere wisp of evil thought. Even when it went all out, it was still unable to defeat him.

In the comments section:

"Oh my god..."

"That kind of power is so shocking that I'm falling into depression..."

"We shouldn't mess with the Myth Guild in the future, their boss has turned into such a monster! (facepalm emoji)"

"(Blushing emoji) This is so awesome! Watching this battle play out made my blood boil and almost made me bust a nut. Don't ask me why, it's just too exciting!"

"Okay, I've made my decision! I want to have this kind of power, too. If one year is not enough then I'll take two years, if that's still not enough then I'm willing to spend my entire lifetime training just to experience the overwhelming power of a deity!"

"I agree with the guy above, my new ambition is to become a god!"

"The battle's coming to an end, and it seems like Hiderigami is about to lose. I think the new Invasion of the Demonic God expansion pack is coming soon, let's all think of a way to survive this..."

"Don't worry, I have just the perfect strategy! We can try to lure this Demonic God into Tao Wu's domain, and watch while they duke it out!"

"The guy above is an idiot. He must be autistic, intelligence assessment complete!"

"The guy who suggested that we should let the Demonic God and Tao Wu fight each other, can you tell us how exactly are we luring them into such a situation? (laughing emoji)"

…...

Looking at the newly evolved Demonic God, Hiderigami's eyes filled with fear. He had come to the realization that he would not be able to take on even a weaker clone of the Demonic God.

Deities were still deities, even if they were sealed. The Demonic God was not at his full power, but his current state was not something to be taken lightly.

The titan's gigantic hand started to fall, causing immense wind pressure to weigh down on Hiderigami. Hiderigami raised his head to howl in frustration, as he knew that he would most probably meet his end here.
