Chapter 654: Demon King Castle Shows Its Power, Are We Even Playing the Same Game?
"The gravity around these Gravity Beasts is off." The sword-bearing man looked down from the building, then furrowed his brow as he turned to the tattooed man. "Go scout out the specific info on those Gravity Beasts, then release their skill effects and behavioral patterns."
A glint of murderous intent flashed in the tattooed man's eyes. "Qi Hengsan, who do you think you are to order me around?"
"Your detection abilities are the strongest. This is the situation now—take it or leave it." The sword-bearing man looked completely indifferent.
The tattooed man let out a cold snort, leaped onto the corridor railing, and gazed downward.
Below, Gravity Beasts were streaming toward the main entrance of Evil King Building in an overwhelming tide.
Whoosh!
Just then, the three Wicked Gods made their move!
A stomp, a slam against the ground!
With such simple actions, a wave of Gravity Beasts was instantly wiped out!
But the tattooed man didn't let his guard down. He poured all his power into probing the Gravity Beasts' info, because he knew there would always be some that slipped through.
The three Wicked Gods were overwhelmingly powerful, but they didn't hold aggro. And once the monsters entered Evil King Building, their threat level dropped drastically.
After all, their massive bodies made it all too easy to accidentally blast open their own players' dormitory doors.
"Some Gravity Beasts have made it to the first floor." The Evil Dragon was itching to jump down from an upper floor.
"Don't rush!" The tattooed man waved his hand, apparently on decent terms with the Evil Dragon.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
One after another, Evil King Building players leaped down from above to reinforce the first floor.
Of course, their motives were complicated. The main quest was just the main quest.
The side quests involved robbing, sabotaging, and stealing kills from other Evil King Building players.
"The info's out!" The tattooed man exclaimed in a low voice. "Be careful when you go down—don't land in the middle of the beast horde, or else... Hey, why are they leaving?!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the Gravity Beasts all retreating from Evil King Building!
These massive creatures were naturally heavy and slow-looking when they walked, yet at this moment, they erupted with astonishing speed!
Like schools of swordfish, they raced in a single direction, constantly snarling as if driven to a frenzy!
"What's going on?!" The Evil Dragon was completely baffled, the dark color slowly receding from his muscular, sinewy arms.
He was just about to enter the fray—why did these monsters suddenly leave?
Could it be that his kingly aura had scared them off?
No way in hell!
"Look, they're all heading for the northeast corner!" the sword-bearing man warned.
The northeast corner—that was where Mad King Building was located!
The Evil Dragon looked toward the northeast corner, and his pupils violently contracted.
From the direction of Heaven's Judgment Building and Amusement Park Building, Gravity Beasts were also surging toward Evil King Building!
These lizard-like behemoths moved in formation like a column of tanks, the sky filled with rumbling thunder as their momentum shook the heavens!
The corner of the Evil Dragon's eye couldn't help but twitch.
When men numbered ten thousand, they stretched beyond the horizon—and the Gravity Beasts didn't even need ten thousand to do the same!
This wasn't just a monster group anymore; it was a full-blown monster tide. Even if he jumped in, he'd be dead for sure!
"The only building that can handle this many monsters... is Mad King Building!" The sword-bearing man stared in that direction, his face dark and heavy.
Evil King Building could also handle this many monsters, but it relied on the three Wicked Gods.
Mad King Building, however, relied purely on turrets.
Mad King Building had an absurd number of turrets, and the quality of those installations was freakishly high.
They'd seen this for themselves in the first round. If not for this, Mad King Building wouldn't have claimed the championship.
...
From the corridors of Amusement Park Building and Heaven's Judgment Building, strong players began to emerge, watching the departing Gravity Beasts in astonishment.
Under the gaze of these elites, all the Gravity Beasts charged straight into Mad King Building!
And they didn't linger on any other floor—they went straight for the top floor!
Instantly, all kinds of speculation arose.
"What's going on? Why aren't the Gravity Beasts attacking the building?"
"They are attacking the building—they just aren't attacking the dorms!"
"What the hell? Is no one even in the dorms on Mad King Building?"
Players from all three buildings were utterly bewildered.
Beyond this obvious anomaly, Mad King Building's turrets were also acting strangely. It seemed only the auto-attack mode was active, with no sign of manual operation—making their damage output very limited.
Finally, all the Gravity Beasts reached the twentieth floor.
At that moment, every spectator was completely focused, their eyes wide open.
They all knew—the real show was about to begin!
There had to be a reason for this mass riot of Gravity Beasts, and it was almost certainly connected to the twentieth floor of Mad King Building.
"It's that guy's dorm!" The Evil Dragon's breath quickened.
Standing on the rooftop of Evil King Building, he could see what was happening in the corridors of Mad King Building.
In his field of vision, the first Gravity Beast to charge onto the twentieth floor lunged without hesitation at Demon King Castle!
And then, the castle's turrets activated!
Two laser-emitting instruments swiveled their barrels, and crimson beams shot out, instantly piercing through the Gravity Beast!
"The power is this insane?!"
The Evil Dragon was shocked down to his core.
A Level 25 heavy monster had extraordinary defense—yet that turret had broken through it directly!
Wasn't this too ridiculous?!
Did Mad King Building custom-make that turret for him?!
This was the first time Demon King Castle's turrets had shown their full might.
Before this, no player had ever managed to charge up to the twentieth floor!
Mad King Building's defensive capabilities were top-tier—high player combat power, plus top-quality supplies flowing like mass-produced goods that never ran out!
The shock in the Evil Dragon's heart came wave after wave.
Gravity Beasts surged forward in endless waves, and aside from the majestic dragon-head cannon on Demon King Castle, almost every other turret activated within a single second!
Cannon bullets sprayed wildly, with an uncountable number pouring out each second. Enchantment Gems triggered rapidly, and tornadoes swept forth in an instant!
The two Berserk Laser Ray Emitters boasted terrifying penetration, their heat increasing as they fired. The sustained laser damage could supposedly cut from one end of the corridor to the other, slicing straight through the entire beast horde!
A single shot from the Void Fissioner split into countless projectiles, and in an instant, it blasted a massive swath of Gravity Beasts to bits!
One shot cleared the field!
What could they do when all the Gravity Beasts were the same race?!
The Talisman Launcher, the Flame Dragon Roar Cannon, and the Electromagnetic Spider Web Turret looked relatively weak by comparison.
Against the flashy special effects of the other turrets, they seemed almost inconspicuous.
For the first time, the Evil Dragon doubted himself.
"Are we even playing the same game?"
