Chapter 4 : Evil God
Chapter 4: Evil God! This Must Be an Evil God, Right!
“I knew it, how could there not be a combat tutorial?” Seeing the suddenly appearing mobs, Jiang Chen rubbed his hands together.
“Finally, the long-awaited combat phase.”
However, when Jiang Chen saw that all the mobs on the opposite side were marked in red as high danger, he frowned.
“So for me, these mobs are extremely dangerous… and there are more than twenty of them at once?”
Jiang Chen instinctively felt something was off.
But soon, he realized something.
“Heh, interesting. No wonder they dare to give an extra hundred per day—if even the tutorial mobs are this difficult… but…”
As Jiang Chen was about to let them taste C4, a newly appeared feature caught his attention.
“Huh? Grant microphone permission?”
After reading the description, Jiang Chen was stunned—this function allowed the in-game character to synchronize whatever he said.
“Damn, that’s interesting. Gotta try it.”
.......
On Vivian’s side, seeing how dangerous the situation was while that Lord God was still saying incomprehensible things, she was panicking like crazy.
Then suddenly, Vivian horrifyingly realized that “she” had spoken.
“Ahem… ah.”
“Not bad, even added voice tuning.”
Jiang Chen paused for a moment. “So next is the classic bullying-the-weak phase?”
Vivian: ???
Wait, that wasn’t me speaking!
And Lord God, we can’t win this—run!
Vivian screamed internally, but her body remained motionless.
Beside her, Lilith was also panicking, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
“De-Death Church… we’re done for…”
However, when she turned to look at Vivian, she froze.
The girl beside her didn’t run—instead, her expression was… eerily calm.
For a brief moment, Lilith even felt as if she heard a hint of excitement.
“Vivian, you…”
Before she could finish, she saw Vivian suddenly raise her hand and reach toward the pink bear crossbody bag at her waist.
Then, she took it off and hurled it forcefully toward the members of the Death Church.
“Here you go!”
This move didn’t just stun Lilith—Vivian herself was completely dumbfounded.
Huh? C4… so it’s meant to be thrown?
She had always thought it was something you held in your hands, like a music box, that would play a special lullaby to make people fall asleep.
But before she could process it, her body had already begun moving.
Under Lord God’s control, she quickly grabbed the still-dazed Lilith and turned to run.
On the other side—
Seeing the incoming pink bag, the leader of the Death Church sneered.
“Throwing a bag to distract us and then… run?”
“With this level, you dare call yourselves the Empire’s Twin Stars? Seems like the higher-ups overestimated you.”
He waved his hand. “Chase them!”
Before his words even finished, the bag in midair suddenly burst into a blinding light.
Immediately after—
“BOOM!!!”
A deafening explosion erupted, flames soaring into the sky and engulfing a fifty-meter radius.
Several nearby buildings were instantly reduced to rubble.
The two girls, still running, hadn’t even reacted before the shockwave that followed violently sent them flying.
In that fleeting moment before losing balance, Vivian caught a glimpse behind her—
A mushroom cloud rising.
She froze completely.
Vivian: ????
This thing… is how it makes people fall into baby-like sleep?
That thing controlling my body really is an Evil God, right?!
It has to be, right?!
And… C4 is actually this dangerous?!
Thinking about how she had just thought it looked “pretty cute,” Vivian felt a wave of fear.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction at the explosion effect, especially when he saw more than twenty identical damage numbers floating above the enemies.
-HP 4300
“My god, one blast dealt over four thousand damage.”
Although Jiang Chen had already calculated the approximate damage before, seeing the actual number still felt absurd.
“As expected, art is explosion—nothing wrong with that. What’s there to say? Just instant kill.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
Hearing this, Vivian nearly broke down. “How is this art at all?!”
As for Lilith beside her, she stared at Vivian in terror, as if saying: You carry something like this around every day?!
But the next moment, Lilith’s gaze fell on the mark that had suddenly appeared on Vivian’s arm.
A black circle in the center, surrounded symmetrically by three fan-shaped segments, with a glaring yellow background—a clear nuclear weapon symbol.
“Class Mark!” Lilith cried out. “You… you obtained a class?!”
“No—you’re a One-Ring Mage… and the kind that already has a class at One-Ring!”
As the daughter of a wealthy merchant family, she knew better than anyone what that meant.
Talent, resources, divine favor.
All three were indispensable.
But this girl from the same hometown—she was just from a poor rural village. Forget resources, she hadn’t even had the chance to participate in a mage awakening ritual…
How could this be?
Lilith’s mind was in chaos, yet absurd thoughts kept surfacing.
Could it be… those exaggerated rumors spread by the goblins—the titles placed on Vivian—were actually true?
Looking at her again—even after causing such a massive disturbance, she remained calm, while Lilith herself was panicking. By comparison, wasn’t this exactly how a true genius should behave?
“Could she really be cultivated by some hidden ancient family?”
“Vivian Violet… Violet…” Lilith felt the surname was familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had heard it.
While Lilith’s thoughts churned, Vivian appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was in complete turmoil.
“It’s over!! With such a huge commotion, the enforcement team will definitely arrive soon!!”
“I blew up buildings—were there people inside? How much will I have to pay?!”
“Will anyone die? If someone dies, I’ll probably spend my next life in prison… wuu… no!!”
Vivian wished she could just faint on the spot.
The only comforting thing was that Lord God was currently in control.
Lord God would definitely have a solution, definitely…
However, Vivian was clearly overthinking.
Because at this moment, the Lord God she placed all her hopes on was controlling her body to walk toward the center of the explosion.
“W-wait!! Lord God, what are you doing?!”
And soon, Vivian found out exactly what this Lord God intended to do.
On Jiang Chen’s side—
“This explosion effect is pretty good. As expected of a Hidden Class—large-scale AOE, everything that should die is wiped clean.”
Looking at the devastation on the screen, Jiang Chen walked over to a relatively intact cultist and began searching.
But after seeing everything around him clearly, Jiang Chen showed a look of disbelief.
“No way! How is this possible?! The blood is actually red?”
“Wait, are you sure a game like this can pass review?”
But then he thought about it—games like Left 4 Dead were fine too.
“Whatever, why should I care? I’ll just praise it like crazy later. What does the review process have to do with me?”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen frowned. “Why is there nothing?”
“That shouldn’t be the case. At least there should be some gold or equipment drops, right? Why is there nothing at all?”
“What’s wrong with this game? Even killing goblins should drop things like weathered bone fragments or something. I just wiped out so many mobs—how come nothing dropped?”
“Don’t tell me I have to loot the bodies myself?”
