A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and the resulting vortex of dust obscured Shehe's figure. Before Yan Ruoying and the other two could react, the turbulent air currents that appeared in the Misty Forest brushed past her and headed straight for Ji Hui.

Ji Hui's hair slammed back to one side, and he stood frozen in place. Before he could even fully experience the electric shock that ran through his brain, the system had no choice but to quickly exit his body and switch control targets.

[It's just a two-character card. So what if you pull me to the same level? The number of skills I possess is beyond your imagination. You can't affect me at all.]

"It doesn't matter, I'll still defeat you."

Shehe's figure appeared for only half a moment before disappearing again. The next moment, Ji Hui and the other two were surrounded by a golden array that isolated everything.

Since those present could not become puppets, the system had no choice but to select players from the factions where players were still alive in the current world.

A purple streak of light, moving faster than the blink of an eye, stirred up the storm. A strange player blocked Shekh's path, and the system instantly changed the player's original skills, throwing out the [Fraud] card.

The suggestive error disrupted Shekh's inner cognition. In the blink of an eye, the system used the [Space] card to set anchor points around her, transferring the two of them into a completely dark space.

[Weapon] A spear capable of breaking through anything was conjured, and as the system stabbed it, it continuously hinted to Shekh, ordering her to give up resistance.

The blinding light struck the spear, and Shekh gripped the spearhead, the immense force preventing the controlled player from advancing any further.

"The first color I saw after I regained consciousness was the color of dawn. You have no right to take it away from me, and don't even think about dragging me back here!"

A burst of purple cross-shaped light shot back as Shekh used his second skill card, "True Sense," to "break through illusions and transcend falsehoods."

She shook off the person in her way, snatched the spear, and as she landed slowly, she plunged the sharp blade in her hand into the ground. A deafening roar came from above, cracks radiated outward from the spear tip, the earth split open, and space shattered.

Those outside only saw light leaking through the sky, with multiple sheet-like beams of light shining downwards. Then, the sky seemed like a shattered mirror, and before they could even find a figure, Shekh suddenly landed and returned to their sight.

The system didn't give her time to react; when the attack came again, the player in control had changed.

However, it did not expect that even a powerful skill card like [Plunder] would have difficulty breaking through Shekh's defenses.

It had clearly provided the best protection for this body with [Solid Stone], but it only lasted for a second before failing due to its inability to withstand the force.

Sheh's figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, making it impossible for those below to track her movements.

These two-word skill cards, which countless players desperately wanted, were destroyed one by one in the battle between Sheh and the system, making Pu Sheng's heart ache so much he wanted to die.

The system discarded the last usable body, where the air pressure was extremely low.

[Suppression] This card poses a greater obstacle to it than it imagined. It cannot directly call up skills, its attack methods are quite limited, and these humans' bodies are too fragile to withstand Shekh's attacks at all.

Just then, it sensed a familiar voice.

Oh right, there are two more.

The system dragged the puppet's broken body around and sped toward Bai Weishuang and Linlang, who were nearby.

Bai Weishuang has a [Word of Power] card agreement that prevents her from being killed, but Linlang can still stall for a while, which is enough time for her to find a better body in another world.

Bai Weishuang and Linlang, who had sensed something was wrong and rushed over, were both thrown back by a gust of wind. With unfamiliar faces right in front of them, Bai Weishuang, relying on her years of experience as a player, shoved Linlang aside and said, "Watch out for your skill cards!"

But time moves faster than sound, and the moment Linlang saw that face, her body was taken away by the system.

The purple light bypassed Bai Weishuang, and Shehe quickly took her away from the battlefield to a place a hundred miles away. When they landed, Bai Weishuang was standing right in the center of the golden ring.

With no time for reminiscing, Shekh turned and left. When he looked up again, an unparalleled, earth-shattering force was already crashing down upon him.

Skill: [Death's End]

Effect: Ignores defense, a desperate counterattack that instantly increases attack power by 12,000% when on the verge of death.

Note: The base attack power of this skill card depends on the user's level, and it can only be used once per dungeon run.

Linlang's eyes were vacant, her throat had been slit at some point, her left hand gripped the wrist of the other hand, and her right hand was outstretched, launching an attack in the direction of Shekh.

As the torrent crashed down, the system activated [Annihilation] within her body, using all the remaining power she could muster to combine with [Death and Suspension], unleashing an attack that shook mountains and rivers and burned the heavens and earth.

Everything was engulfed in flames, the shadows of trees turned to ash, and the flames were eroding the world. This was an attack that no one could escape once they stood on this land.

Sher's long hair was whipped about wildly by the heat from all directions, and her whole body was whitened by the dazzling flames, as if she had been burned away.

“I told you, you can’t drag me back.”

Time seemed to stretch and pause. She raised her hand, and a black-gold liquid spread from her palm, expanding and expanding until it took shape: a large, horizontal black-gold bow, so enormous that its entirety was unimaginable.

She raised her bow, and the crimson light and mist transformed into arrows, carrying endless fear and despair as she nocked them.

It was a bow and arrow conjured from a skill card, its power originating from her first molted snake skin. It contained the immense darkness she had devoured, the power she possessed when she existed in a mysterious and formless form, before she knew anything, a power that disregarded all rules.

Shekh remained motionless, making a bow-drawing gesture, and then the bowstring in the sky was pulled, ready to be released.

[If you pull out this arrow, this body will perish, and everyone behind you will die. They simply cannot withstand this force!]

"So what? I'm going to cripple you!"

Shekh released the arrow named "Rule," neither dodging nor avoiding it, staring directly at the raging flames that were about to annihilate him.

The sky was torn apart by two forces, rivers dried up, dust rose from the land, and everything in sight crumbled in their wake. No one could escape such devastating power. The world was being destroyed. When the arrows plunged into the flames, the laws of the past were overturned, and the compressed vortex was completely released.

As if stars had collided, after a flash of white light, everything fell silent.

It wasn't until the piercing ringing of the tinnitus resounded in the minds of countless players across various worlds that people regained their voices.

Someone grimaced and cursed in pain, "My God, my head is throbbing with pain! What just happened?"

"...It hurts so much, it feels like someone is driving steel nails into my brain."

The person who was clearing the dungeon steadied themselves. "It hurts so much! Are you guys like this too? Is there a hidden boss coming?"

"No, no, look over there, it seems like the dungeon is bugged..."

The dungeon boss that had just defeated them and left them sprawling on the ground suddenly stopped moving and vanished inexplicably right in front of the group.

The same scene played out in different instances: instances suddenly paused, monsters mysteriously disappeared, players were forcibly logged out, and people called out to the system, but it never responded.

All sorts of bizarre dungeon bosses that stood in the system's way were reduced to dust as they fell.

It couldn't believe what it was seeing through Linlang's eyes, and it didn't even understand how Linlang could still have a physical form under such an impact.

Sher was unharmed, and the others were also safe and sound. Only it had to draw upon the power that kept the game running to protect itself from the damage caused by the flash.

Surprised?

Shekh retrieved his rule card and turned slightly to the side and behind him.

Shi Jinzhe stood behind her, discarding the wrecked "Sickly and Unable to Bear the Weight of Clothes" garment.

"Do you think Shekh sent me to retrieve her first snake molt simply for recycling?"

It was still to use her power of rules to separate his skills.

While a 400% increase in attack and defense is incomparable to a 12,000 increase, it also depends on who is using it.

If it's Shekh, 12,000 is still too much.
