"Damn it!"
"You actually placed Heavenly Gu inside the Soul Refining Orb!"
By the time Soul Manipulator · Zade realized it, it was already too late.
At the same time, Ji Ningshuang suddenly came to her senses, she looked at Godfather in surprise and said, "Godfather! So the thing you had me put into the Soul Refining Orb back then was a Gu insect?"
It turned out, in order to absorb soul power across the entire area, accelerate the growth of Soul Devourer, and thereby allow the Ghost King to recover from its weakened state as quickly as possible.
Last night, at the Soul Beast Mountains, after killing the BOSS Lord of Souls and obtaining the Soul Refining Orb from it, the first person to come into contact with the Soul Refining Orb was Ji Ningshuang.
And before that, Godfather had already instructed Ji Ningshuang that when she obtained the Soul Refining Orb, she was to fuse a Gu insect into the Soul Refining Orb.
Ji Ningshuang did not know what that insect was.
But since Godfather had arranged it that way, she had not had any doubts and simply followed Godfather's instructions.
Only now did Ji Ningshuang realize: the insect Godfather had told her to put in back then was Heavenly Gu.
And at that time, Godfather had already made preparations to control the Ghost King.
Calculating the time, twelve hours had already passed from last night until now.
During this period, Soul Manipulator · Zade had kept Soul Devourer on its person, and Heavenly Gu had long since completed its fusion.
"Damn it!"
Soul Manipulator · Zade said furiously in humiliation, "I had already sensed that there was something wrong with Soul Devourer, but I failed to connect it with Heavenly Gu!"
"You must have seized upon my eagerness to recover from my weakened state, and thus planted Heavenly Gu on the Soul Refining Orb to dispel my suspicions!"
"You sinister and cunning human! You're simply too despicable and crafty!"
At this moment, Godfather could not be bothered to argue.
Holding the SS-rank Divine Artifact Heavenly Gu in one hand, he began giving Soul Manipulator · Zade orders, "Go, good boy."
"Go and eliminate all the threats for me."
As the Ghost King, Soul Manipulator · Zade obeyed Nether's orders because the other party had gone to great lengths to release it from the Forbidden Land of Gods. Even without a contract between the two sides, it would still fulfill its promise as agreed: complete the other party's three conditions.
But Godfather wanted to control Soul Manipulator · Zade with just a Gu insect, which obviously made it difficult for it to obey.
However, the other party possessed SS-rank [Heavenly Gu], Soul Manipulator · Zade simply had no way to disobey.
Under Godfather's command, Soul Manipulator · Zade began slaughtering everyone in the crowd.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Soul Devourer, an S-rank weapon, was swung, and countless dead souls swept across the battlefield.
All the players from the five major guilds who were attacked were instantly killed.
Qin Ming attempted to regain control of the Ghost King, but he discovered that no matter how he issued mental commands, Soul Manipulator · Zade simply did not respond to his control.
Ning Fei explained from the side, "It's useless!"
"You can control the Ghost King purely because of the system contract."
"And the priority of an SS-rank Divine Artifact is higher than that of a system contract."
"Now, the only thing your contract can guarantee is that the Ghost King won't attack you."
After repeatedly trying and failing to regain control.
Qin Ming made a decisive choice, "Then kill it."
Han Ruoxi was startled, "But aren't you contracted with it? According to Divine Oracle's settings, if the Ghost King dies while the contract is active, you'll also be punished."
Qin Ming's gaze burned fiercely, "That's better than letting it be controlled by Godfather."
As soon as his voice fell...
Clatter!
As Qin Ming activated the hidden class Judge's SSS-rank Class Potential·Judgment, a beam of golden light descended from the sky and enveloped Soul Manipulator · Zade.
Even the Ghost King could not escape the punishment of an SSS-rank Judgment, the Judgment effect took effect immediately.
Soul Manipulator · Zade's final damage was reduced by 99%, lasting 600 seconds.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Soul Manipulator · Zade's attacks covered the earth, and its damage instantly dropped from six or seven hundred thousand to six or seven thousand.
Even fragile mage and archer players above level 70 with average equipment had at least nearly twenty thousand HP.
Warrior and knight players who were somewhat tougher could reach forty or fifty thousand HP.
Therefore, with the Ghost King dealing only 1% damage, it was already completely incapable of posing a threat to any player from the five major guilds on the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, everyone could not help exclaiming...
"Holy shit! Nether's suppression skill is way too ridiculous!"
"This isn't suppression. This is forced paralysis!"
"Brothers, this is a good opportunity! Strike while it's down!"
"Kill the Ghost King!"
Thus, while Qin Ming was judging the Ghost King.
The players of the five major guilds around them took advantage of the opportunity and launched a counterattack!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the concentrated attacks of the archers and mages, countless arrows and magic orbs rained down onto Soul Manipulator · Zade.
However, the damage they dealt made everyone's jaws drop...
-1 (Forced)!
-1 (Forced)!
-1 (Forced)!
"Holy shit!"
"Why can't we damage it?"
While the crowd was shocked, Liu Kai laughed loudly, "Stupid, huh! Nether's skill can only suppress the Ghost King's damage. It can't suppress its defense."
"This is a level 100 Ghost King. It'd be a ghost if you could damage it!"
Chen Feng sneered, "If I remember correctly, Nether's Judgment only lasts for ten minutes."
"After ten minutes, you can wait to die!"
On the battlefield, Qin Ming even went so far as to attack personally.
After all, this Ghost King had been released by him.
He had to clean up the mess.
Otherwise, if the Ghost King fell into Godfather's hands, Godfather would inevitably use this Ghost King to bring them an even greater threat later.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The thirteen Skeleton Warriors charged forward together while carrying three layers of A-rank enhancement talents.
What surprised Qin Ming was that even his own Skeleton Warriors could not injure the Ghost King.
The defense of a level 100 fully evolved Ghost King was simply too high.
A complete suppression in attributes.
"Holy crap!"
Wang Junjie was horrified, "Even Nether can't damage this Ghost King! Then who can?"
Qin Ming's expression turned stern, "There should only be one person who can kill the Ghost King."
"Liuli!", Dragon Soul Aoshi said, "The Ghost King's damage is something even Rulebound can't block. That's its fatal point."
"But your Judgment has greatly suppressed the Ghost King's damage. With its current damage, it is no longer enough to threaten Liuli, while with Liuli's damage, she will definitely be able to injure the Ghost King more easily than we can!"
"If the two of you join forces, you'll definitely be able to kill the Ghost King!"
"My sister should have already entered the Divine Kingdom by now," Ning Fei said, "I'll call my sister out right away. Let's kill the Ghost King first!"
After all, as long as the Ghost King was eliminated, all the threats could be removed at the same time.
Afterward, they could slow down all the missions and did not need to hurry.
However, just as Ning Fei was preparing to contact Ning Xi, suddenly, a map announcement that none of the players present had expected at all descended from the sky.
[Map Announcement (Divine Capital): "Ding~ Attention, players: Because the core of the Divine Capital's main city has been destroyed, the Divine Capital has entered a paralyzed state!"]
