Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Defection from the Enemy (Request for Recommendation! Request for Recommendation!)

When the Dancing Nuclear Guild resumed their assault on the battle for divine status, Jiang Qiao used a heavenly gadget above the battlefield to open the player community forum and Racoon Live Streaming.

The player community forum had become Jiang Qiao’s best way to gather players’ opinions and gaming experiences.

The battle for divine status had only started half a day ago, and players had already managed to slay the Wasp Knight… which indeed exceeded Jiang Qiao’s expectations.

However, the casualties among the players were also a heavy expense for Jiang Qiao. Currently, Jiang Qiao possessed 37,000 points of Creation Energy, which could be considered as 37,000 shared revival tokens for all the players on the server.

So far, the players had used nearly 3,300 revival tokens. If it weren’t for the penalty constantly reminding them that ‘three deaths and you lose your wife,’ Jiang Qiao felt that this number would likely have tripled.

But where there’s expenditure, there’s income. After slaying a zombie soldier, Jiang Qiao could absorb one to two points of energy. The total number of zombie soldiers on the battlefield was around 40,000, and the number of active zombie civilians in the city was approximately 100,000. However, the energy gained from killing one was only between 0.1 and 0.3 points.

The battlefield below, in Jiang Qiao’s eyes, was still a vast mine of Creation Energy, and the effect of the love letters Fureya wrote to the players after losing her memory completely exceeded Jiang Qiao’s imagination.

The feedback was such that it was now four o’clock in the morning, yet the online player count on the server was still at its peak.

As for the players’ movements in the battle for divine status, Jiang Qiao felt that watching the live stream was more direct.

Racoon Live Streaming had specially set up a Holy Spirit section, currently ranked third in the VR online gaming category.

Due to the Holy Spirit server having only 9,300 players, anyone who set up a Holy Spirit gameplay live stream on Racoon Live Streaming could attract considerable popularity.

The top-ranked streamer on Racoon Live Streaming was Chen Meng. Jiang Qiao watched the live stream of this 37-year-old female streamer.

Her stream title was “Talk about your mom’s love life, I’ll spend the rest of my life with Fureya.”

The majority of stream titles in the Holy Spirit section were related to Fureya, the second and third hottest were “Leader of Fureya’s Support Group Here!” and “From now on, we are all Fureya’s harem.”

“This is also the result I wanted. All that’s left is to wait for the players to beat the lord to critical health,” Jiang Qiao said.

Jiang Qiao browsed between the two websites, noticing that Fureya’s popularity seemed momentarily higher than the game of Holy Spirit itself.

At that moment, Jiang Qiao focused on Chen Meng’s live broadcast content…

Chen Meng’s character was a Berserker, currently battling a boss that was an axe-wielding man along with her guild.

“A murky and evil force,” the axe-wielding man swung his axe stained with dark red blood fiercely towards Chen Meng.

From Jiang Qiao’s understanding of the background of the axe-wielding man, he wasn’t one of Queen Mei’s five knights. He belonged to another organization that had been fragmented into different divine planes along with the apocalypse,

but he was a very professional man, still remembering his main job even after so many years, which was to hunt down those who had fallen into darkness.

The concept of those who had fallen into darkness was broad, including vampires, werewolves, those corrupted by chaos, and those who dealt with demons—all were his mandatory targets.

So as soon as the axe-wielding man stepped onto the battlefield, he identified a target that his main job dictated he must eliminate.

A warrior who controlled the power of blood.

Just by confronting her, the axe-wielding man could feel this power’s ferocity. Logically, this warrior should have lost her sanity, but the opponent seemed to indeed have gone mad, as the axe-wielding man could always hear her saying some weird things during the battle.

“Thanks to Qi Xia’er for the airplane, and how many times have I said it? I just had a major crash! This BOSS blocked my major crash! What else is there to say?”

Chen Meng was busy quarreling with her fans, but to the axe-wielding man, the Berserker was making some incomprehensible statements.

However, these were irrelevant to the axe-wielding man. His duty was to kill those who had fallen into darkness, whether they were in a rage or had lost their sanity, didn’t concern him.

Once again, the axe-wielding man raised his long-handled axe and charged at the Berserker player, but suddenly, several deep-purple fireballs enveloped him.

Upon hitting the axe-wielding man, these purple flames also clung to him, making him feel the agony of his soul being scorched.

This is!

The axe-wielding man suddenly looked up at the figure that appeared behind the Berserker… It was another knight wielding a katana.

But behind this Holy Spirit, there was a deep purple phantom, which gave off a very ominous and evil power to the axe-wielding man.

This was far more evil than the violent Blood Qi Power on the Berserker…

Power of the Ghost God.

For some reason, this strange phrase emerged in the axe-wielding man’s mind. He sensed that the phantom behind the Holy Spirit knight was not just a simple effect of Magic Power, but rather the manifestation of some malevolent existence.

He changed his target, leaping up from the ground, he raised his long-handled axe and swung it down at the Ghost God Power-wielding knight player.

But his giant axe missed! His axe passed through the enemy and struck the ground. When the axe-wielding man came to his senses, a deep blue magic formation had appeared on the ground.

In the center of the magic formation, an evil ghost god phantom appeared, followed by the emergence of a green and purple Ghost God Formation right below the axe-wielding man’s feet.

This guy wasn’t just wielding one Power of Ghost God! The axe-wielding man was slightly astonished for a moment, but he still managed to escape the erosion of the Ghost God Formation and caught up with the spirit.

“President? Focus attack on Lion Heart Knight? Didn’t we agree on targeting the axe-wielding man at the start?”

The player, whose ID was named ‘Arm Breaker,’ notified his guild’s president, Can Xin, via voice chat.

The profession of Ghost Cry is a Swordsman’s job change, considered a hard one to convert to… The prerequisite for this job change is to first complete a hidden mission called ‘Ghost God’s Approval.’

The characteristic of this profession is the ability to drive various powers of ghost gods and to release various formations that weaken enemy attributes, somewhat like a Swordsman who can cast curse magic.

“President? Do you guys have an organization?”

The axe-wielding man caught up with Arm Breaker, and after overhearing his voice chat, realized that the Swordsman before him, wielding the Power of Ghost God, might not be alone—he likely had a larger organization backing him.

“We’re from Abyss Temple, do you want to join… Huh? Who asked?” Arm Breaker was busy communicating with the president and didn’t hear clearly who asked this, thinking a newbie on the battlefield wanted to join their guild.

As for the boss, the axe-wielding man, he was directly ignored.

“Abyss Temple? Power of the abyss!” The axe-wielding man heard these words about the abyss and immediately entered a rage, just like Lion Heart Knight.

His memories of the past were fragmented, but three keywords were enough to trigger the nerves of the axe-wielding man, abyss, chaos, annihilation—these words represented the three forces that destroyed his original world.

The inscription on the axe in the hands of the axe-wielding man lit up, a deep emerald glow emerging on the blade in his hand!

Just as the axe-wielding man was ready to fight a decisive battle with the evil Abyss, Arm Breaker hopped and jumped towards the other side of the battlefield, and before leaving, all the axe-wielding man heard was, “President, have you found it? What are the coordinates, I’ll be right over! Coming!”

“This time I must eradicate those tainted by the abyss!” The axe-wielding man could only focus his target on that Berserker player.

“Wait a minute! I think I understand what you’re saying, but I’m not from Abyss Temple!”

Shen Meng was actually seriously listening to the axe-wielding man’s muttering, and she figured out the reason why he suddenly entered the second phase—it was because the previous Ghost Cry’s guild was Abyss Temple.

“You’re not from the abyss?” The axe-wielding man was the only one among the six bosses of the War of Divinity who could communicate, “then where does your power come from?”

“Job change.” Shen Meng glanced at the large axe in the axe-wielding man’s hand, feeling as though if she misspoke, the axe would fall and deplete her health points.

“Job change? Which organization are you affiliated with? Bloodthirsty Association?” The axe-wielding man asked again, naming a very famous vampire organization from the past world when it was whole.

“I am… damn! That Swordsman came up with such a stupid guild name.” Shen Meng suddenly couldn’t help but swear out loud.

“Brother Meng, don’t curse! We all mean well! Ah, what’s there to be shy about!” At this time, Mo Dao Swordsman came rushing over with a large group of spirits, just in time to hear Shen Meng and the axe-wielding man’s conversation, “Brother! We are from Shen Meng Matrimonial Committee! Interested?”

The reason why Mo Dao Swordsman was so friendly was… during combat, the axe-wielding man had been vigorously interacting with players, and over time, passersby players began to like this talkative boss.

“Matrimonial… Committee?”

The axe-wielding man lapsed into silence, not quite understanding what exactly this organization was.

“It’s about marriage! The person beside you is none other than Miss Shen Meng, who makes millions a month. No mistake, it’s Mister Shen Meng! Interested in dating or something? The kind where fans will hack you to death if you break up,” Mo Dao Swordsman said warmly.

Shen Meng listened from the side and didn’t speak; at this moment, the chat in her livestream started to display what she wanted to say.

‘This boss is probably going to kill the Swordsman.’

‘The host has already decided to spend the latter half of her life with the doll sister, even wants to buy her a seaside house. This boss should give up.’

‘Host, get to know our Mei Queen, doubly gorgeous and definitely better-looking and more capable than the doll sister.’

“If it was a different time and place, I might consider it.” The axe-wielding man’s face lit up with a smile as he raised his axe and said, “But right now, I only serve Mei Queen, so I have to kill you all.”

“Wait! I also love your Mei Queen!”

Seeing the axe-wielding man raise his axe, Shen Meng immediately felt things were going south, and not one viewer around her stepped up to take a hit for her.

“You love her?”

The axe-wielding man actually stopped his axe in mid-air, the reason being he couldn’t really feel any malevolence from this group of spirits, despite their bizarre powers including control over blood and the origins of the Power of Ghost God which should be very evil.

Yet, the axe-wielding man couldn’t sense something called the intention to kill in these spirits.

So, impulsively, the axe-wielding man asked…

“Would you swear loyalty to Mei Queen?” the axe-wielding man asked.

Listening to the livestream from midair, Jiang Qiao almost burst out laughing upon hearing this question from the axe-wielding man.
