CLANG!
Seraphine casually unleashed a colossal, brilliant white blade-curtain. It swept across the area, reducing hundreds of Royal Guild players who failed to dodge into ash.
Then, she looked toward the magnificent skyscrapers a kilometer away, their surfaces glowing with neon lights. She smiled and raised her hand toward the sky.
A second later, the firmament roared.
A searing meteor manifested in the high altitude. As Seraphine brought her hand down, it thundered from the sky, slamming diagonally into the soaring architectural complex.
CRASH!!!
The earth shook violently as the entire complex was instantly pulverized by the meteor, reduced to dust. Then, countless millions of tons of rubble and ash roared outward, blanketing the surrounding area.
"The players in this base should be nearly wiped out."
Scanning the vast ruins, Seraphine turned and took flight, streaking toward the perimeter of the base.
There was nothing of value left here. She needed to find another Royal Guild base with respawn points to continue her research into the game's core architecture.
In truth, while Seraphine couldn't yet truly influence the game's fundamental code, her extensive research had allowed her to bypass some of the restrictions placed upon her original abilities by "Brilliant Games".
She could now manifest fragments of her original power: weak telekinetic fields, minor hypnosis and mental interference, small energy discharges, enhanced sensory perception, and slight spatial manipulation.
While these abilities were currently "weak", barely enough to dismantle a modern industrial civilization, and far from being able to vaporize oceans, shatter the earth, or pierce the crust, they represented a significant breakthrough.
It was like the "broken window effect." Now that a crack had appeared in the game's suppression, it was only a matter of time before it grew. Seraphine's powers would inevitably surge until she regained her Overlord-class status. At that point, classes, levels, and skills would mean nothing compared to a star-shattering punch from a Milky Way Overlord.
SWOOSH!
Seraphine covered several kilometers in a single stride, blurring over the mountain-like piles of ruins.
But at that moment, her Transcendental Perception caught a tiny, faint ripple of Spirituality from below.
"Hmm?"
Seraphine instantly flipped her body and kicked off the air in front of her.
BANG!!
With a sonic boom, she skidded to a halt in mid-air and focused her senses on the area below.
Under close examination, she found that the ripple was incredibly weak, several orders of magnitude weaker than the aura emitted by an NPC. When she first entered "Brilliant Games", she wouldn't have even noticed it.
But after her deep dive into the game's "underlying rules," Seraphine's Transcendental Perception had become hyper-sensitive to any fluctuations. To her current self, this tiny ripple was as clear as the lines on her palm.
Driven by curiosity, she turned and flew toward the source.
SWOOSH!
The wind howled.
After flying several hundred meters, a three-story, greyish-white building with a Cyberpunk aesthetic and a flickering neon sign appeared in her vision.
THUD!
She landed heavily on the ground.
"This is..."
Seraphine looked up at the sign. The main line read: [Oli's Weapon Shop].
The second line: [Specializing in Superpower Weapon Sales].
Below that, in smaller text: [Master Craftsmanship, Heart of an Artisan, Quality in Action, Innovation in Creation].
"Ah~" Seraphine smiled. "A high-tech weapon shop."
Buzz!
Suddenly, Transcendental Perception stirred, providing her with a piece of information:
[By using emotional stimulation to awaken an NPC's self-consciousness and Spirituality, one can trigger localized instability in "Brilliant Games". This will allow for deeper insight into the game's rules and underlying architecture.]
Clearly, her vast knowledge of the game's structure, combined with this specific ripple of Spirituality, had allowed her Transcendental Perception to "see" a new path for deeper investigation.
"So, some NPCs in "Brilliant Games" might actually be constructed from the souls and consciousness of living people."
Seraphine tilted her head slightly, looking at the electronic door in front of her. "Stimulate emotions? Using violent emotional fluctuations as a catalyst to wake their sleeping Spirituality, thereby causing a malfunction in "Brilliant Games".
Haha, interesting. But... the most effective way to stimulate someone's spirit is to damage them. To thoroughly and completely ruin them."
"As for the specific method of ruin..."
She paused in thought. "I'll use the same method I used on Vassago."
Having decided, Seraphine pushed the door open and stepped into the shop.
Sizzle!
Upon entering, she saw a stout, bald man in the spacious main hall. He wore thick goggles, and his bare torso was covered in various metallic components. Two pairs of long, slender mechanical arms were grafted onto his shoulders. He was hunched over a silicon workbench, focused intensely on a glowing blue piece of machinery that had been mostly dismantled.
When the bald man saw a customer, his eyes lit up, and he broke into a hearty grin. "Welcome! I'm Oli, the master superpower weapon smith. I've served the Royal Guild's Pixiu Base for a full thousand years!"
Seraphine didn't respond immediately. Instead, she stood silently, scanning him from head to toe.
To the naked eye, Oli appeared to be just a normal NPC.
But Transcendental Perception sensed ripples of Spirituality radiating from him in irregular bursts.
Seraphine walked up to Oli and asked, "You sell weapons here?"
"Haha, I don't sell common cold or hot weapons. I sell superpower weapons with various functional plug-ins."
Oli took off his goggles and gave a hearty laugh. "You can buy equipment for every class specialization and path under level 100 here: Photon Hunter, Ore Collector, Ice-Crystal Swordmaster, Interstellar Knight, Deep-Space Scout, Cosmic Miner, Star Pirate, Storm Blader, Galactic Explorer, Cosmic Courier, Star Arbiter, Gun Butcher... a total of one hundred and thirty-five categories."
"Ah, quite a comprehensive selection. Not bad."
Seraphine glanced at the rows of automated superpower weapon vending machines along the walls. "By the way, who did you learn your smithing craft from?"
"Ah, well," Oli said proudly, "that's quite a story."
"I'm all ears," Seraphine said with a faint smile.
"Heh, my master is the number one superpower weapon blacksmith in the universe, Lord Taigu! He's the strongest artisan in all existence. As his disciple, I am naturally the best smith in this entire base!"
Oli paused, his thick brows furrowing as he thought. He shook his head. "Apologies, perhaps I've been away from my master for too long. I've forgotten many people and events. The person you mentioned... I have no impression of him."
"I see."
Seraphine's brow arched. "Then, may I ask your name?"
Oli shrugged as if it were obvious. "What else? My name is Oli."
"I mean... your name. Your name! Your given name!"
Seraphine narrowed her eyes, placing heavy emphasis on "given name." "Your parents surely didn't name you Oli the moment you were born."
"Uh..." Oli hesitated, then laughed heartily again. "Everyone calls me Oli."
Hearing the evasive answer, Seraphine didn't press further. She let the corners of her mouth curl as she looked at the dazzling array of weapons hanging on the walls.
A few seconds later, she turned back to Oli. She watched his hands hovering a few centimeters above the machinery, moving back and forth without actually touching a single component. It was a ridiculous, programmed loop.
"The superpower weapons you sell... do you make them all yourself?"
"Of course," Oli said, continuing his empty task and nodding as if it were a fact.
"Is this one yours too?"
Seraphine pointed to the glowing blue machine on the silicon workbench. "It doesn't look like a blade or sword, nor an axe, nor armor or a gun. And despite your busy hands, you haven't actually touched it once. I'm curious, what exactly are you working on?"
"Uh... I..." Oli froze, his hands hovering in mid-air.
"Well? Why stop the act?" Seraphine tilted her head and smiled. "What kind of weapon are you trying to turn it into?"
Oli looked down at the irregularly shaped, glowing device on the workbench, then at his own hands. He looked confused. "I was going to turn it into... into... what was it?"
He scratched his head, looking utterly bewildered. "Strange. I... I can't remember."
"How long have you been standing here working on this?" Seraphine asked softly.
"I think..." Oli stammered. "I think I've always been standing here. Always..."
"For a thousand years?" Seraphine's brow arched.
"I... suppose..."
"Do you have a wife?" Seraphine interrupted.
"Yes!" Oli's spirit stirred, his expression shifting instantly into a grin. "I have a wife, and a son too."
Seraphine nodded. "I see. And where are they?"
"In Lotus Lake Town. My home is right there. I send money back to them every month."
"And where is Lotus Lake Town?"
"Lotus Lake Town? It's in... it's at... it's..." Oli fell into deep, agonizing thought.
Seraphine smiled gently. "On which planet is Lotus Lake Town? In which city? Do you remember?"
Oli frowned, looking up with hesitation. "I... I can't seem to remember at the moment. Uh, maybe... maybe I'm just too tired."
"I see." Seraphine crossed her arms, her expression noncommittal. "You must love your wife and son very much, right?"
"Of course." A look of tenderness appeared on Oli's rough face. "Everything I do, all this hard work, is for them. A man spends his life working for his family, heh heh heh." He gave an embarrassed laugh.
"Very good." Seraphine nodded, then asked suddenly: "So, what is your wife's name? And your son... what is his name?"
"Ah, my wife's name is... she's called... she's..."
Oli froze, his eyes filling with a blank confusion.
"And your son's name?" Seraphine pressed.
"I... I... I can't remember," Oli replied blankly, staring at Seraphine.
"Then you must at least remember your father's name."
"I... I..."
Oli slowly shook his head, speechless. The confusion and terror in his eyes intensified. He looked up at Seraphine helplessly. "My wife and child... they're waiting for me to send money. If I don't, they won't survive. They'll starve. So I..."
"Sigh~ You're right. They need that money to live." Hearing his disjointed words, Seraphine walked behind him with her hands clasped, sighing. "So, do you remember the last time you went out to send them money... when was it?"
"I..." Oli had sat down at some point, clutching his head. He spoke dazed, "I... don't quite remember."
"So, have you ever even stepped through that door? Even once?" Seraphine's voice was flat as she looked at the weaponry lining the walls.
"...I think... I think..." Oli looked up, whispering, "I think I've always... been in this shop. I think... I've never actually gone outside."
"Exactly. You haven't gone out. You've never left. So, how have your wife and son survived for these thousand years? Haven't they... starved to death long ago?" Seraphine said softly.
The words were quiet, but they made Oli's entire body tremble, his limbs shaking uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Seraphine turned to stare directly into Oli's eyes, her voice slow and deliberate: "You have been stuck in this tiny shop forever, always working, pretending to work, pretending to tinker with a machine on your table that you don't even recognize."
"The truth is, you don't even have a name!"
"You have no wife and no son!"
Seraphine's tone was low: "You have no parents, no siblings."
"You don't even have a home, not even a tiny corner to call your own."
"You haven't even walked out that door. You have no idea what the world outside looks like."
"I... I... this..." Oli's brow furrowed tightly as he stared dazed toward the door, lost in thought.
Seraphine stepped closer, her voice heavy: "You've stayed here, pretending to work in this shop. You claim to be the disciple of the universe's greatest smith, yet you've spent a thousand years without forging a single weapon!"
The moment she spoke, Oli collapsed as if struck by lightning, slumping to the floor.
His eyes were filled with absolute chaos. He stammered, "No, that's not right. It can't be. How... what... what am I... exactly?!"
Buzz!
Deep within the virtual intelligence of Oli's NPC body, a faint spark of spiritual light suddenly flared!
His Spirituality had been awakened by Seraphine.
Fragments of memory and data began to sprout rapidly within Oli's consciousness. His eyes grew more expressive, deeper.
Oli looked at Seraphine and whispered, "I remember. I'm not Oli. My name is... Leng Yanyu. I am the founding ancestor of the Empire! I am... the founder of the Royal Guild!"
BOOM!
The operation of "Brilliant Games" in this region suddenly fell into instability.
The scenery inside the shop blurred, and a torrent of incredibly dense imaginary matter abruptly erupted.
The eruption of this imaginary matter torrent was even more violent than the one triggered by the destruction of the respawn point.
WHOOSH!
As deep streams of imaginary matter swept past her, Seraphine's gaze sharpened. Her Transcendental Perception surged, scanning in all directions without restraint.
Sizzle!
Under the relentless sweep of her perception, the warping of the game scenery intensified. The shop's floor and walls became illusory, replaced by vast expanses of dark, empty void and chaotic turbulence. It was as if she had suddenly traversed beyond the thirty-three layers of heaven.
Seraphine looked up and "saw" that the sky outside was no longer bright and blue, but a boundless, dark, and infinite alien firmament.
"This... is the true form of this world!"
"And..." Seraphine's eyes flared with divine light. "I see the deepest part of "Brilliant Games"!"
Within her transcendent vision, she saw configurations of "circuits" coiled around everything in the universe. These were far more complex and minute than any electronic program, composed of overlapping, twisted, and merged imaginary matter, quasi-particles, and four-dimensional and five-dimensional pure energy.
The air, the flames, the stones, the soil, Oli, everything bore the traces of these "circuits." In fact, it could be said that everything was constructed from these "circuits."
These quasi-particles were not the electrons or photons of ordinary understanding. They were physical phenomena manifesting particle-like characteristics, generated from the interactions of vast numbers of elementary particles, appearing and disappearing in an instant.
Consider phonons, the most common quasi-particles in solids. In a crystal, atoms are arranged in a regular 3D lattice, connected like springs. They vibrate collectively, transmitting heat and sound through the material. phonons are the quasi-particles corresponding to this vibrational mode.
Just as photons are quantized electromagnetic waves, phonons can be viewed as quantized sound waves.
"So this is... the underlying logic circuits of "Brilliant Games"! To think... it uses non-physical phenomena, quasi-particles, as the basic building blocks, weaving imaginary matter and 4D/5D pure energy through incredibly complex sequences into millions of logic units."
Seraphine whispered, "So Coo... can actually 'fine-carve' non-physical phenomena. Haha. Dimensional Artist, you really are something."
HUM—
Transcendental Perception acted like hands from a higher dimension. Under her will, she reached out and caressed these hazy, eerie logic units.
With her touch, the logic circuits shifted rapidly, causing the surrounding world to warp in sync.
Exploiting this violent deviation from game rules, Seraphine attempted to redirect her Transcendental Perception toward herself, specifically, toward the 'underlying' rules governing her player interface.
HUM—
Suddenly, a bizarre force surged from the dark, infinite void, enveloping the awakened Oli, or rather, Leng Yanwu. It began to rapidly erase the clarity, wisdom, and spiritual light in his eyes.
In an instant, the force vanished. Oli's gaze became lively again.
The illusory, chaotic scene around them snapped back to normal.
He looked at Seraphine and gave a hearty laugh:
"Welcome! I'm Oli, the master superpower weapon smith. I've served the Royal Guild's Pixiu Base for a full thousand years!"
"Interesting. Suppressing the NPC's Spirituality again, are we?"
Seraphine let out a leisurely chuckle and looked at her player interface.
Most of the content remained unchanged, except for the Skill Points column... which had become 10,086.
A mere shift in Skill Points was nowhere near enough to satisfy Seraphine's appetite.
She wanted much more than this.
That abnormal Skill Point value on the interface was, in fact, a 'nail' Seraphine had deliberately driven into the 'Substrate' of the game's core rules.
Under the 'piercing' and 'tearing' of this 'nail,' the fundamental logic of "Brilliant Games" could no longer operate normally around her, causing various distortions and cracks to appear.
These distortions and cracks would, in turn, become the gateways and shortcuts through which Seraphine would investigate and manipulate the game's operation.
Using this gateway, she could create a personal cheat, enabling her to "Ascend" instantly. She estimated it would take roughly five hours to construct the hack, no more.
"Five hours..."
While using the "gateway" to rapidly research the internal and external rules of "Brilliant Games", Seraphine sped away from the ruins of the Pixiu Base. She contemplated her next move: "During these 'long' five hours, I'll go wipe out a few more Royal Guild bases to pass the time."
Having decided, she pulled the Dark Category from her inventory, expanded it to its full size, and stepped inside. She powered up the ship and immediately performed a warp jump to leave the planet.
BOOM—
The Dark Category performed a faster-than-light leap directly within the atmosphere, creating a massive disturbance. The warped space-time generated immense thermal energy, instantly baking a large area at the base of the mountain near Pixiu Base into molten wasteland.
Consequently, the final hundred or so Royal Guild players cautiously hiding within the ruins were vaporized into ash and sent offline instantly.
Thus, the Pixiu Base, which had stood for a thousand years, was utterly annihilated.
...
The vastness of space, Yuyaion.
Dozens of light-years from Tanslation, in the space above an oceanic planet, the Dark Category suddenly emerged after its long-distance leap.
"We've arrived."
Seraphine flew out of the ship, gazing down at the only large island on the vast planetary ocean. Staring at the solitary, massive spire rising from the island, she slowly extended her right index finger.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!—
Suddenly, hundreds of layers of brilliant white blade-qi appeared, spiraling around her fingertip.
[Ruthless Blade Qi], which according to the game mechanics requires a blade-type weapon to be equipped, was now being used by Seraphine barehanded, and in massive quantities.
How was this possible?
Simple. This anomaly was the result of Seraphine's continuous manipulation and distortion of the game's core rules. As time passed, her status as a "Bug" deepened.
The once-rigorous and stable game mechanics were experiencing severe, multi-layered distortions they could no longer correct. Consequently, the various systems of "Brilliant Games" were no longer 100% effective against Seraphine.
Naturally, she now possessed abilities that normal players could never dream of.
"Enjoy the meteor shower."
As Seraphine slowly raised her left hand, hundreds of colossal meteors, each as large as a stadium, manifested simultaneously in the infinite firmament above. She had completely bypassed the operational mechanics of the [Calamity from the Heavens] skill, forcibly summoning a far greater number of even larger meteors.
These meteors tumbled through the dark void of space, radiating a scorching and lethal intent.
A second later, at Seraphine's will, these hundred-plus meteors thundered toward the large island on the planet's surface.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!—
The massive meteor shower crossed the Kármán line and tore through the layers of the atmosphere. Wreathed in fire and trailed by sonic booms, they crossed the hundred-kilometer distance in mere seconds, thundering down and completely blanketing the Royal Guild base on the island.
BOOM! ROAR! BOOM!—
In an instant, the world shook.
Violent vibrations, blinding light, and searing heat became the only masters of the island.
The base itself, along with the thousands of Royal Guild players and tens of thousands of NPCs within, and even half of the island, were reduced to scorched ash under the relentless bombardment.
The architect of this catastrophe, Seraphine, had already departed. As soon as the meteors were launched, she had boarded the Dark Category and was already speeding toward her next target.
According to the chaotic data found on the forums, the Royal Guild possessed a vast number of bases, over 100 million of them, scattered across half the Milky Way. However, most of these outposts were manned by only a few dozen or a hundred people. Bases with over ten thousand members were incredibly rare.
In fact, many outposts were entirely unmanned, managed solely by intelligent NPCs. That said, there were thirteen major bases with over a million personnel. As for the Royal Main Base, it boasted 3 million permanent players and over a hundred million NPCs serving its operations.
Seraphine had no intention of touching the Main Base just yet. The main course should always be saved for last, just as one completes all side quests before tackling the final main mission.
Leveraging the Dark Category's near-instantaneous teleportation speed, Seraphine crossed the vastness of space every ten to twenty seconds, effortlessly annihilating small and medium-sized bases.
During the journey, she leisurely upgraded her two primary skills several times. She spent 7,936 points to upgrade [Aura Condensation] five more times.
[Aura Condensation]〔13〕(Level 60 Class Skill): Killing intent enters the body, slaughtering all foes.
Reduces Max HP by 2,457,600, increases Damage attribute by +1,228,800. Costs 204,800 MP per second.
She spent 1,920 points to upgrade [Ruthless Blade Qi] four more times.
[Ruthless Blade Qi]〔11〕(Level 70 Class Skill): A heartless being, loving only the blade in hand.
Unleash physical sword energy (Base Damage × 4.4). Costs 1,700 MP.
With all her skills augmenting each other, a single blade-qi strike from Seraphine now dealt over 8 million damage. She didn't particularly value her other skills, so she left them at their current levels.
After several hours of this, the Royal Guild, having finally realized their outposts were being systematically and rapidly dismantled, fell into a state of total panic.
...
Plangu, Empire.
Within the same massive, palace-style manor, Leng Kangan was in a glass-walled room surrounded by a pond, vigorously painting a landscape. Chief Cao stood beside him, silent.
Suddenly, a young man with a panicked expression rushed toward the door, shouting: "Your Highness! Your Highness! The guild... something has happened to the guild!"
The noise made Leng Kangan, who valued peace, frown in displeasure. Seeing this, Chief Cao's face darkened, and he barked at the young man: "What are you screaming for?! I ought to—"
"Enough."
Leng Kangan raised his hand to stop the old servant. He looked at the pale youth and asked softly, "What exactly happened?"
The young man caught his breath and reported: "Your Highness, a player named 『Great Demon King Seraphine』 has... destroyed 1,000 of our bases!"
"What?!"
Leng Kangan's frown deepened. "What nonsense are you talking? Only five or six hours ago, I chaired a guild meeting. Every department head reported that everything was normal.
How could anyone, single-handedly, destroy 1,000 of our bases in such a short time? It's a fairytale! Even if she carried an ancient Stargate with her, those 1,000 bases house hundreds of thousands, even millions of people. Even if they stood in line to be slaughtered, she couldn't kill them all in five or six hours!"
"Uh... uh..."
The scolded young man, looking both dazed and frantic, stammered, "Your Highness, if... if you log into "Brilliant Games" now, you... you will likely receive a Guild War notification. It's... it's 『Great Demon King Seraphine』 vs the [Royal] Guild..."
"I have important state business to attend to. I don't have time to log into a game," Leng Kangan replied, still refusing to believe him.
Beside him, Chief Cao looked pensive. He turned and bowed to Leng Kangan. "Your Highness, allow this old servant to investigate the matter."
Leng Kangan nodded. "Very well. Go."
Chief Cao bowed again. "Then I shall take my leave."
He slowly backed away, dragging the dazed young man with him out of the glass room. Leng Kangan, meanwhile, remained composed, admiring his own painting with a relaxed expression.
Simultaneously, on the official [Simulation] section of the "Brilliant Games" Server 375 forum, a flood of posts regarding Seraphine's systematic destruction of bases appeared.
[SHOCK! Royal Guild loses a thousand bases in four and a half hours!]
[Satisfying! A massive victory for solo players!]
[The arrogant Royal Guild meets its match!]
[Who is 『Great Demon King Seraphine』?]
[One against a million! A true, heaven-defying player!]
[Is 『Great Demon King Seraphine』 cheating?]
[War correspondents wanted! Live broadcast from the ruins of Royal Guild's Wu'an Base!]
"..."
Among them, the live battlefield threads were the most popular, dominating the top ten spots of the section. The absolute hottest thread was: [SENSATIONAL! 『Great Demon King Seraphine』 descends upon the Royal Guild's twelve main cities, Yinglong Super-Base—LIVE BATTLE!]
Within this thread, countless players were posting frantically, the atmosphere as lively and festive as New Year.
『Cute Yang Balu』: "I've never heard of this 『Great Demon King Seraphine』. Whose subordinate is she? So badass!"
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "Ha, that person is a pure newbie. She's been in the game for less than two days. I have no idea what kind of dog-shit luck she had to become so powerful."
『Spring Blossoms』: "Are you kidding me? Even if your dead ancestors crawled out of their graves to power-level you, it wouldn't be this fast."
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "Have you spent the last three months using your mouth as a toilet?"
『June 14th, 15th, 16th』: "Blossoms has a point. Even with 500 people helping you level, you couldn't reach 2nd Ascension in two days. I think you're just talking nonsense."
『Spring Blossoms』: "Exactly. I get that you want to show off and act like you know everything the second someone famous appears, but the saltiness is unbearable. You act like it's nothing, but your envy is obvious. Pathetic."
『Black-head Diameter 10,000m』: "Well said. No evidence, just shouting to feel superior. Spit!"
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "No, seriously! Me and 『Great Demon King Seraphine』 came from the same Novice Square. She killed me several times back then."
『Spring Blossoms』: "Don't believe it. No pics, no proof."
『Black-head Diameter 10,000m』: "Don't believe it. No pics, no proof."
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "Fine, I'll show you the screenshots of my death logs from back then."
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "image.jpg"
『Spring Blossoms』: "Oh, so after being killed 10 times in a row by 『Great Demon King Seraphine』 with a slingshot in the Novice Square, you're shameless enough to brag about it?"
『Good Juice is Inedible』: "Pfft!"
『Three Sheets』: "Screenshot saved."
『I Salute You』: "Suggest making it into an emoji."
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "???"
『Spring Blossoms』: "Also, I recall you hadn't even been in the Royal Guild for a single day. You were bragging here just a few hours ago, so why is the 'Royal' tag gone from your name now? Did 『Great Demon King Seraphine』 kill you again during her massacre, causing your mental state to explode? No, maybe she killed you 10 times."
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "..."
『Stop Fighting Already』: "Should I follow the protocol... or just laugh?"
『My Sarcasm Is Sincere』: "Pfft!"
『Cute Yang Balu』: "Pfft!"
『You're So Good』: "You guys are so mean, I love it."
『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』: "F*ck you and your ancestors back eight generations!!"
『Spring Blossoms』: "Blocked @『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』"
『Spring Blossoms』: "Someone's using foul language, please handle this @『Electric Tumbleweed』"
System notification: 『I'm Proud, What Can You Do』 has been muted for one month.
『Electric Tumbleweed』(Vice Moderator): "Handled. Please mind your language and keep it civilized, everyone."
『Youth Leaning on a Wall』: "I studied 『Great Demon King Seraphine』's combat performance and found her Damage values are simply absurd. I suspect she dumped every attribute and skill point into Damage. It's highly likely she's on the Legendary Demon Blade Pure Damage Path."
『Do a Little Bend』: "Isn't that path a dead end? Speed is slow as hell, HP is paper-thin. At the same level, you couldn't even tank one auto-attack from another class."
『Spring Blossoms』: "Did you not look closely? That Great Demon King boss didn't lose any HP at all? She didn't even run out of Mana?"
『Do a Little Bend』: "Ah!! Then isn't that just... flat-out cheating?!"
『Spring Blossoms』: "It is cheating. In the countless years since "Brilliant Games" was created, she might be the only one capable of it."
『Makka Pakka』: "The game officials aren't doing anything? She's literally invincible like this. Where's Coo? Over slept?"
『Spring Blossoms』: "There's a possibility... what if she has infinite HP and Mana in reality too?"
『Makka Pakka』: "?? How is that possible?!"
『First on the Leaderboard』: "Theoretically, game attributes sync to the physical body in reality. If that's the case..."
『A Bag of Rice』: "『Great Demon King Seraphine』 is a human Tsar Bomba in reality?!"
『Spring Blossoms』: "Be bolder. Given her city-destroying efficiency and combat performance, a Tsar Bomba multiplied ten thousand times wouldn't even compare."
『Spring Blossoms』: "Forget the infinite HP for a moment. Just having infinite Mana means her mental strength is already heaven-defying. She could likely hypnotize hundreds of millions of people or sweep through an entire nation in a single breath!"
『What Did the Doctor Say』: "It might not be hypnosis. If it's telekinesis, that's even more terrifying! Nuclear explosions at her fingertips!"
『Ethane Bites Alpha』: "Anyway, us mortals should just grab a seat and watch the show. Let's see how far the boss can go."
『Spring Blossoms』: "I have a gut feeling that Royal is actually going down this time."
『What Did the Doctor Say』: "No way. Royal has over 100 million bases. Even if the Great Demon King is invincibly OP, how long would it take to destroy all of them?"
『Spring Blossoms』: "Like I said, it's just my intuition. I've had strong hunches since I was a kid, especially this time. Believe it or not."
『Can You Take Me to Make Money』: "Brother, if your intuition is that strong, have you considered buying lottery tickets? Take me with you, I can warm your bed."
『Spring Blossoms』: "... Strong intuition doesn't mean I can predict the future."
『Faster-Than-Light Duel』(Poster): "Everyone, Great Seraphine has just crushed the planetary fleet defense of Yinglong! She's about to enter the atmosphere!"
『Cute Yang Balu』: "Kneeling in welcome!"
『Spring Blossoms』: "Shh— No more chatting. I have to go watch the live stream and worship the Great One!"
