Chapter 240 Who exactly is the BOSS?
On the open ground in the suburbs, there is a completely different scene.
Tens of thousands of players, selected by the system to play the role of "resistance grunts," are gathered together, bored out of their minds.
The message they saw was: Loading, please wait...
"What's going on? You brought over ten thousand of us in here just to stand around?"
"Who knows? It's an anniversary event, after all; the point is rather unclear."
"I don't know what that thing is for. You can't get it in, and you can't eat it."
Beside them stood a giant, pure white mech with sleek lines, exuding a futuristic technological feel.
It stood there quietly, like a sleeping steel mountain.
When it first came in, some adventurers were curious and circled around it, but they soon realized that it was just a decoration.
Just then, that cold, mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire wasteland.
[The "Script Terminator" has been activated.]
The moment the words left his mouth, the sleeping white mech jolted violently!
Om-!
Two crimson beams of light shone from its eyes, scanning the tiny adventurers before it.
Immediately afterwards, the mech's heavy abdominal armor slowly opened to the sides, revealing a series of steps.
The staircase connects to countless cockpits inside, each shimmering with a faint light, like a giant beehive.
[Task triggered: The God-King is tyrannical, and destiny ends.]
[Mission Objective: Enter the "Script Terminator" and coordinate with the mech pilots to defeat God King Batian.]
[Task Rewards: Massive experience points, special material chests.]
Upon seeing the system notification that popped up, tens of thousands of players were stunned for a moment, and then erupted into a thunderous cheer!
"Holy crap! So that's how it works!"
"Cooperatively controlling giant mechs to fight bosses? This is a completely new version I've never played before!"
"Brothers, charge!"
In an instant, the crowd surged toward the huge white mech like ants.
"I got the front cockpit! Unbeatable visibility!"
"Hahaha, I'll form the right arm!"
"Don't go any higher, it's full!"
A three-legged warrior player with an unusually loud voice struggled to carve a "bloody path" through the crowd.
He plunged headfirst into the bottommost position of the mech, shouting excitedly, "Brothers! I'll form the crotch!"
"..."
"Bro, you're awesome!"
With tens of thousands of players in position, the giant white mech closed again.
Its surface armor began to writhe and reconstruct like flowing water, and the smooth technological lines quickly became grotesque and distorted.
The pure white paint was replaced by jet-black scales, deformed bone wings extended from its back, and its head transformed into a monstrous dragon head covered with sharp horns.
Even at its groin area, a monstrous tail covered in barbs had grown out...
In just over ten seconds, a futuristic mech transformed into a dark demon god exuding an aura of destruction and annihilation!
Meanwhile, in a corner of the city, the male and female supporting characters are excitedly waiting for their scenes.
Before they could even react, they were teleported out of the trial space.
……
On the rooftop, Oro put down his sniper rifle, his face full of confusion.
He ultimately didn't dare to fire.
"What... what's going on?" Auro looked at the Moon Arrow, then at the strange change on the distant horizon.
Even as the leader of the Roman gods, he felt deeply perplexed at this moment.
"He did it on purpose."
Moon Arrow's voice was soft, and his face showed an expression of "I knew it."
Her clear, starry eyes were now gleaming with a mixture of shock and anticipation.
"What do you mean, intentionally?" Oro didn't understand.
"He knew from the beginning that there was something wrong with the script." Moon Arrow took a deep breath.
"Those seemingly absurd words and actions, those blatant acts of defiance that don't fit the plot, are not just nonsense."
"He's using his own methods to tear away the script's false exterior, forcing out the true test hidden deep within!"
Oro: "..."
He felt like his brain wasn't working properly.
"You're right." Auro looked into the distance, where a dark figure was faintly visible.
"So... what do we do next?"
……
Inside the luxurious hall, the aftershocks of the spatial tremors gradually subsided.
On Chen You's retina, a waterfall of blood-red warnings swept across his face, eventually settling on a few lines of cold system notifications.
[Note: The anniversary special event script "The Overbearing God King Falls in Love with Me" has been forcibly terminated due to a broken core logic chain.]
[Hint: The hidden mechanism "Script Terminator" has been activated.]
Mission Objective: Defeat the "Script Terminator".
[WARNING: Current space rules have been reset; the Script Terminator level has been balanced to LV50!]
Level balance to level 50?
Chen You was startled and stopped thinking about the gun.
He's only level 23 now. Isn't the level balance a bit too "balanced"?
But... a hidden plot? Here it comes!
He knew that the Origin Realm System couldn't possibly be engaging in a purely childish activity.
The so-called high experience rewards still have to be earned through fists.
"The Terminator? Where is it?" Chen You looked around.
Aside from the trembling assassin and the "female lead," there was nothing else.
Is it invisible?
Or is it that... the so-called Terminator is this space itself?
He was pondering various possibilities.
"Boom—!!!"
The entire building began to shake violently without warning, and countless huge cracks spread across the metal dome.
Chen You suddenly looked up.
He saw a gigantic, indescribably dark claw tear open the dome!
The claws, covered in scales burning with dark red flames, easily tore a huge gash in the sturdy alloy dome as if it were paper.
A ferocious, enormous head slowly emerged from the gap.
Its eyes are swirling vortexes of lava, and black smoke with a sulfurous smell spews from its nostrils.
"roar--!!!"
A deafening roar unleashed a devastating sonic storm, utterly crushing everything remaining in the hall into dust.
Chen You stood in the eye of the storm, his robes fluttering in the wind.
He raised his head and looked up at the world-destroying demon god that seemed to have stepped out of mythology. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a strange look.
Because he clearly heard a series of chaotic, joyful shouts coming from the demon's body.
"Right arm! Brothers of the right arm group! Press button two, scratch it with your claws!"
"Roger that! Scratching it! Wait, who's controlling the wings? Can they stay still?!"
"Crotch! Crotch requests to join the battle! I see the attack button! Is it the one called 'Dragon Tail Swing'?"
"Don't move! If you swung your tail at us, you could break our left legs!"
"Quiet down! Listen to my command! I am the commander-in-chief! All hands on deck, give it a breath of dragon's breath first!"
"It's that biggest red skill button! Press it all at once!"
Chen You: "..."
He finally understood what this "script terminator" was all about.
So, tens of thousands of players controlled a giant "Gundam" that transformed into this monster-like form to fight him, the "final boss"?
The anniversary celebration was truly ingenious.
Under the "cooperative" control of ten thousand players, that ferocious demon god opened its enormous maw, large enough to swallow a mountain.
A dark red, extremely unstable energy began to gather in its throat, sometimes large, sometimes small, its brightness fluctuating, as if it might explode at any moment.
Seeing this scene, Chen You not only did not prepare to defend himself, but instead crossed his arms with great interest.
He even had the leisure to shout loudly at the enormous head:
"Hello, everyone upstairs?"
The energy ball in the demon god's throat visibly paused for a moment.
"Did he speak to us?"
"Is this boss's AI that advanced? It can even interact?"
"Ignore him! This is interference! Everyone, three, two, one, fire!"
"boom--!!!"
A thick but crooked, dark red beam of energy shot out from the demon god's mouth.
