Monsters Are Coming

From time to time, it made him feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

On several occasions, as the players found themselves in a predicament where resources were nearly depleted, it twisted its craving for energy resources.

It would often roar uncontrollably in anger, with the Evil Eye soothing it on the side.

Past scenes flickered in his mind, finally freezing on the face of the Divine King.

Suspended in the air, overlooking the Player Clan’s War Commander, the Divine King smiled happily:

"What are your thoughts now?"

Faced with the inquiry from the Earth Thought Bully, the Divine King suddenly understood what this Dog Coin Bully was thinking.

Not killing him was obviously not for investigating Player Clan intelligence but to enjoy the victory process.

He became a part of the Earth Thought Bully’s emotional euphoria.

"Have you ever heard of villains dying from talking too much?" The Divine King couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"What makes a villain?" The Earth Thought Bully smiled and asked in return.

"That would be you."

"The definition?"

The Divine King also smiled:

"Our Player Clan defines villains in a very simple way, without complicated moral judgments. It has always been from our own clan’s perspective to judge the clans with different worldviews. Those who go against us are villains, those who follow us are just, without consideration of that clan’s different ideas due to their culture, upbringing, or other factors."

The Divine King’s words were indeed quite shameless.

Very bluntly, he told the Earth Thought Bully that our Player Clan has always defined other clans’ behaviors based on our moral outlook—followers are just, opponents are villains.

"It fits the Player Clan’s characteristics well, but I like your viewpoint." The Earth Thought Bully nodded with a smile.

Before descending into Monster World, it was waging conquests in Small World.

He had seen too many people flaunting self-defined moral standards to define others, under the guise of "righteous judgment."

The essence was nothing but acting out of self-interest in the name of morality, standing on a so-called moral high ground, critiquing others’ behaviors without ever examining their own greed and hypocrisy.

Forcing their will on the masses, condemning all beings not meeting their standards to "villain" hell.

Such moral standards are nothing but a prison woven to maintain one’s interests and privileges.

But the Player Clan’s thoughts were straightforward, openly expressing that they judge everything according to their ideas.

The Divine King’s viewpoint aligned with the Black Tide’s idea of conquering and devouring the world.

But there was one difference.

In the Black Tide’s eyes, followers die, rebels perish.

Weakness is the original sin.

The rules of this world are nothing more than writings of the strong, followed by the weak.

What about the beings of Monster World? They too operate under the rules once written by Emperor Zhao.

"Have you finished enjoying yourself?" The Divine King said, somewhat helplessly.

"Are you eager to die?"

"Very much so, or do you want to torture me a bit more and enjoy it? Need me to cooperate by begging for mercy or crying?"

Seeing the smile on the Divine King’s face, the Earth Thought Bully suddenly felt dissatisfied again.

It was now in a dominant position, the other was a prisoner.

But thinking it’s the Player Clan, it felt relieved.

Torturing the Player Clan, it had done before.

In those days, to investigate the rules traits on the Player Clan or even to obtain the rules ability on them, it tried capturing a large number of Player Clan individuals for cruel torture and interrogation.

The result was not the captured Players collapsing, but its own exploding mentality.

It knew that no matter how it tortured, it could never gain any effective intelligence from the Player Clan.

But it didn’t want to kill this Human Clan Commander so easily.

Behind it, the Evil Eye, under the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s directive, extended a tentacle to connect with the Divine King, transmitting perception scenes.

In the scene, without the Divine King, the United Battle Group became chaotic, and players could only command through the channel of division authority.

Seeing this, the Divine King decisively activated the warband shield mode.

Then, with a helpless expression, he sighed and said:

"Brothers, let me explain the situation. I got captured by the Earth Thought Bully. I can’t perceive the battlefield here and can only observe the situation through the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s shared perspective."

Instantly, multiple voices rang in his mind:

"Divine King, you really have it rough. When I saw the map showing you were at the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s High Tower, I realized something big was happening."

"Dog Divine King, don’t you know there’s a rule in chess that the general and the marshal can’t face each other? You crossed the line!"

"Earth Thought Bully is going too far. Capturing our chief general strategy came out, if it evolves further, it will take off. I don’t allow such badass existence in Newbie Village, kill them for me."

"Divine King is formidable, tearing apart the void with supreme power, waging deadly force into the enemy camp, surely taking the bully’s head would be as easy as a pocket pick."

"Great, our commander has captured the enemy bully alive, spreading the word, we have won big."

"Quick, go to the forum and post to celebrate, saying the Divine King gained supreme power, tore the void, and descended into the Sky Tower, and has now pinned down the Earth Thought Bully."

...

Listening to the voices in the warband, the Divine King felt quite helpless.

Although his capture stirred not a small commotion, in truth it didn’t affect the players’ mentality in the warband.

Many voices were still making jokes and teasing him.

This was exactly their player’s special trait.

Putting this issue in another clan, the capture of their chief general, the sky would fall.

But they are players.

No matter how disadvantaged the situation, the bottom line was locked long ago.

It’s just a one-hour resurrection cooldown.

Unless the Earth Thought Bully can follow the internet cables and physically annihilate their bodies in reality.

But that’s obviously impossible.

Looking up, the Divine King glanced at the Earth Thought Evil Spirit:

"Bully, what do you mean by sharing my battlefield perspective?"

"No meaning, just wanted you to witness the demise of the Player Corps with me."
