I Have a God Simulator

Luh Yao sized up his newly converted Hero.

…

[Hero LV14]Niu Sanxi

Life Value: 212/212

Mana Value: 37/37

Damage: 12

Defense: 7

Speed: 6

[Strong]

[Hold Firmly]

Willpower and Morale are higher than normal, making it difficult to be affected by negative statuses.

…

‘No wonder.’

Niu Sanxi had trembled before the Sinful Corps, but he’d persisted in questioning and blocking them. One of the reasons was his innate `Hold Firmly` Trait.

He came from a group called the Horn Race. Any creature with horns on its head belonged to this race, and they were numerous in the Four-Direction Kingdom.

Luh Yao clicked through many members of the Horn Race. Their levels varied, but a good number of them possessed the `Hold Firmly` Trait.

This ability was unremarkable in the Four-Direction Kingdom and wasn’t highly valued, but in the eyes of Hai Zhe of the Sinners, it was a treasure. He had immediately started to cultivate Niu Sanxi.

A character portrait appeared on the data panel.

The portrait showed a patrolling minotaur-like soldier. Below a pair of mighty, oversized horns was a small, thin body. He shouldered a Stone Spear, and his shadow was stretched long by the Sun.

A single line of text was written below.

—Life is about getting some sweet potatoes, and maybe getting some Demigods too.

Niu Sanxi knelt on the ground, awkwardly offering his profuse thanks.

Compared to the Clay Corpse Demon, which had already taken down two Demigods, this was Niu Sanxi’s first time participating in a god-slaying battle.

Judging by his performance on the field, he didn’t seem like a novice at all. He was focused and daring throughout the entire process, operating the Fire Steam Cannon Carriage to inflict massive damage on the target. He was an indispensable member of the team.

He was also the first of the Horn Race to believe in Luh Yao, and after helping annihilate the Demigod, he earned the right to become a Hero.

A classic case of the times creating the Hero.

Luh Yao turned his gaze to the cannon carriage next to Niu Sanxi.

After being improved by the White Castle, the Rose Weapon was no longer limited to the Flower Boat. It was gradually being mounted on Fire Steam Carriages, turning it into a military device that could be more widely used.

Luh Yao had Isabel provide the Sinful Corps with a batch of logistical supplies, including Fire Steam Cannon Carriages, Magic Potions, food like potatoes and meat, as well as clay, metal, and stone.

The Yao Race World itself hadn’t seen large-scale warfare for many years. The Abyss, on the other hand, was a good place to test the results of many of its inventions and creations.

For example, the Fire Steam Cannon Carriage.

Pinkman’s cultivation and improvement of the roses was still ongoing. The new batch of roses was higher in both level and strength than before.

…

[Conqueror’s Purple Rose LV4]

Life Value: 4/4

Mana Value: 1/1

Damage: 259

Defense: 0

Speed: 5

[Flower Language Sixty-Two: Purple Declaration]

[Range LV4]

…

After reaching LV4, the Purple Rose’s ammunition capacity increased by one, its damage increased by 60 points, and its Range was also upgraded by one level.

The Corpse Demon was a close-combat unit whose Self-Destruction could inflict 600-700 points of damage. In contrast, if all four shots from the medium-to-long-range Rose Cannon hit, the damage could reach a staggering 1,036 points.

Considering a cannon carriage would carry two Purple Roses, the total maximum firepower was over 2,000, making it a genuine heavy-hitter for the corps.

Most importantly, the Corpse Demon’s special move, Self-Destruction, could only kill enemies in Close Combat, whereas the Rose Cannon Carriage could maintain a safe distance to bombard and provide cover. This significantly enriched their tactical options and was of great importance.

As for the dead enemy.

It was an LV88 Sub-Dragon that possessed a Divine Body—a genuine Demigod.

However, this ferociously predatory Sub-Dragon lacked `Wisdom`. Although its health bar was around 40,000, its method of attack was no different from a wild beast’s, even less sophisticated than that of an ordinary monster in the Four-Direction Kingdom.

Luh Yao found this strange.

The Abyssal Demigods he had encountered, without exception, all possessed intelligence.

Hai Zhe led his team to search the Demigod’s corpse but found nothing.

This caused an angry emoji to appear over the Sinner’s head. “No Artifacts at all! What rotten luck. If all Demigods are like you, how am I supposed to present a Sacrificial Offering to the great Yao God!”

Next was cleaning up the battlefield.

The Corpse Demons cut up and carried away the Demigod’s body in an orderly and practiced manner. Although it didn’t drop any equipment, a Demigod’s corpse was top-tier material for the Corpse Hunters in the rear to create Ghouls.

The Rock King arrived late with his soldiers.

Luh Yao looked at the King of this Fourth Layer.

He was a humanoid white stone statue, with a stiff and crude appearance, looking like a practice piece made of plaster by some artisan’s apprentice.

…

[Mountain Golem LV98]Rock King

Life Value: 99087/99087

Mana Value: 10511/10511

Damage: 1

Defense: 477

Speed: 18

[Ancient God Curse LV99]

[Strong Wall]

[Magic Insulator]

Cannot comprehend or improve Magic Ability, and Magic Ability has no effect on it.

[Petrification Mystery LV5]

Attacks have a chance to cause [Petrification] on the target. The effect is related to this ability’s level and Defense.

[Divine Format]

…

[Divine Format]: None

[Divinity]: Crumbling (0)

[Divine Body]: Gods Tier

…

While his other stats were at an incredibly high level, his damage-dealing capability was only 1 point, like some kind of malicious joke.

The Rock King’s situation drew Luh Yao’s full attention.

He switched over to the Golden Field and, for the first time, opened the backend rules for the Black Abyss.

Unlike other Divine Kingdoms and Fragment Worlds, the encyclopedia for the Black Abyss presented a kind of orderly, precise beauty. One could find the desired category from the top-level entries at a glance.

Although the Dark God’s evil deeds were known to everyone from the Crawling Area to the Flying District, and many would subconsciously think, ‘It’s all the Dark God’s fault…’

For instance, regarding the Fog Harbor Lamp Clan, Slime Mod subconsciously suspected the Dark God was the mastermind behind the scenes.

But looking at the Black Abyss’s backend, he had demonstrated an extremely high level of skill in writing and optimizing the rules. He had also made various annotations and markers, making it perfectly clear and smooth for any successor to understand.

In terms of professional ability as a Main God, the Dark God was highly skilled.

Luh Yao found the entry for `Rock King` under the secondary heading of `Abyss Fourth Layer`.

After reading it carefully, he got a general understanding of this strange Demigod.

…

Before being thrown into the Abyss, the Rock King was one of the Gods, a capable warrior whom the Dark God described as “promising material.” Such an evaluation was already considered extremely high.

As a point of comparison, the Dark God described Slime Mod from the third layer as “unremarkable” and didn’t even bother to evaluate the Star Sea God from the second layer.

The Dark God’s reason for capturing the Rock King and throwing him into the Abyss was—”rebellious and defiant, refusing to submit.”

In short, the Rock King refused to become a soldier under the Dark God’s command, so he was thrown into this specially-made Black Prison.

Through the backend encyclopedia, Luh Yao began to understand this infamous Main God a little better.

The Dark God made no secret of one of his habits: if he couldn’t have something, he would torture it.

He would torture them in the way they would find most unacceptable.

For example, the Star Sea God. It possessed an Earth Elemental Divine Body, so it was submerged in water, forced to endure the agony of its body peeling away and rotting over the long years.

The Rock King was the same.

The Dark God had inflicted a whole set of punishments on this once majestic king.

The Rock King’s combat prowess, which he had been so proud of, was stripped away, leaving him with only 1 point of damage—an insult and a mockery in itself.

Second, the Mountain Golem’s memory and Wisdom were also sealed, preventing him from remembering who he was. His dulled mind couldn’t keep up with his powerful body.

Finally, there was the Ancient God Curse.

The content of the Curse inflicted upon the Rock King was: He needed to raise the population of Extraordinary Life on the Fourth Layer to one million in order to break the Curse and recover his memories and power.

The paradox, however, was that while the Rock King possessed Defense and Life Value far superior to his peers, his damage capability of only 1 point meant he was unable to protect the lives on the Fourth Layer.

Coupled with his limited Wisdom, he had no way of resolving this situation.

And this was the punishment the Dark God had devised for him.

—To make him control a giant’s body with the mind of a child. He was difficult to defeat, yet he couldn’t defeat other Demigods either, completely stripped of the combat ability he was so proud of. The Rock King could only watch helplessly as the lives on the Fourth Layer died off one by one, the shackles of his Curse growing ever tighter.

The Dark God had also deliberately created a special fissure in the passage, allowing the Fourth Layer to indirectly connect to the fifth layer, giving the Rock King a glimmer of hope only to shatter it again.

Demigods and monsters from the fifth layer would pour into the Fourth Layer aperiodically for a Hunt, turning all of the Rock King’s previous efforts into a fruitless endeavor.

However, no matter how desperately the Rock King tried to drive them away, he could never kill the other Demigods.

He was like a scarecrow in human form, constantly waving his broad arms, but the foraging sparrows weren’t afraid of him. He had no weapon, and his fists held no power.

Even Luh Yao shook his head as he read this.

The Dark God’s specialty in the Abyss was truly torture.

At this moment, the Rock King, having just driven away another Demigod, reached a strategic cooperation with Hai Zhe, inviting the Sinful Corps to station themselves in the Four-Direction Kingdom and work together.

Hai Zhe raised a question, “The two Demigods who attacked this time showed a strange kind of Madness. Are all the Demigods from the fifth layer like this?”

“No.”

The Mountain Golem said, “Although they’ve lost their Divine Format and Divinity, most of them retain their past memories and intelligence. Cases like mine are rare.”

He said, “There’s only one possibility for this situation: their brains were eaten by Intelligent Insects.”
