Under what circumstances would a stranger call someone else by their given name?
A. You look like that person.
B. You have similarities with that person.
C.You are that person.
Du Ze pondered over it. Ever since he saw Corellon call out "Father God", a certain silly reader has been in a state of daze. He wanted to get information about the God of the World, but he didn't expect to get such explosive news. In order to sort out his thoughts, Du Ze listed various possibilities. Based on Corellon's reaction at the time, Du Ze ruled out the first one. If he really looked like the God of the World, Corellon, who had seen the God of the World, should have called out "Father God" the first time he saw him.
The second conjecture is what Du Ze thinks is closest to the truth. He should have some similarities with the God of Creation, whether it is temperament, aura, or something else. Since he can be recognized as the father god by the main god of elves, then the similarity must be very special, which only the God of Creation can have. From this conjecture, it can be extended that he really has some kind of connection with the God of Creation. Who knows one day, the behind-the-scenes boss will jump out and say to him: "Actually, I am your father!"
…NOOOOOOO!!!
That conjecture was so shocking that a silly and cute person instantly filled in his imagination. Du Ze shifted his attention to the third option. This conjecture was not for cuteness. Based on the principle that everything is possible and the most unlikely thing is the truth, Du Ze listed it. He even realized the most unscientific time travel. Maybe one day he will travel to the beginning of this world and become a creator god. Since he is a creator god, it should not be difficult to change his appearance... Why do I feel more and more that this is the truth? The silly and cute readers shamelessly began to YY. The name of the creator god sounds so high-end and classy.
Du Ze was silent when he saw Xiu standing beside him. Really. The protagonist is here, even if he is the ultimate boss, the only thing he can do here is...
My dear, can we be friends?
No matter how powerful the boss is, he will eventually be defeated by the protagonist. If you don’t hug him now, when will you do so? Du Ze always feels that if he really becomes the final boss, the protagonist will still defeat him. As for how he will be defeated…
hehe.
Du Ze wanted to hide his face. Every time he thought about something seriously, his mind would go wild. Now no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion. The only one who knew about it had gone to refresh. Du Ze could only pin his hopes on the next dungeon. It would be great if the next level was a celestial dungeon. The arrogant God of Light would definitely drop a lot of intelligence.
At this time, Du Ze and Xiu were staying in the circular hall, and five stone statues had already appeared around them. Du Ze looked around and then focused his attention on Xiu, who was now listening to Rachel's report on the Thunder Legion. Because of the unexpected reunion at the Tree of Life, not only had the team been expanded, but the information about the divine tower had also been greatly supplemented.
As he listened, Du Ze felt a chill rising from his feet. According to Rachel's description, the Thunder Corps had 300 people in 50 squads, and the known number of casualties reached half. The survivors were all demons with the power of high-level martial gods or high-level magic gods. The God Tower was so cruel. After hearing about the experience of the Thunder Corps, Du Ze realized how easy it was for them to climb the tower under Xiu's leadership. Take the previous instance, if the demon instance was not repaired, it would take at least a month or more to reach Baal, not to mention that only a few people in the whole continent could withstand Baal's terrifying attack; they had an easy time in the undead instance, but from the experience of the Thunder Legion, the last few hundred thousand undead were the most difficult part of the instance, because the human race suppressed by the undead had already begun to rebound. Once the number of undead in the hands of the tower climbers reached 800,000, the Temple of Light would dispatch the Twelve Knights of Light, who were "absolutely restrained" against the undead - no matter what kind of undead it was, they would die in one blow under their attack. With the Knights of Light joining the war, if the tower climbers did not dispatch their troops well, the number of undead in their hands would become fewer and fewer. Once the number of undead falls below 500,000, the tower will directly declare them a failure.
Du Ze suddenly felt that it was great that they could meet Rachel at that time, and directly skipped the most difficult part to fight the BOSS. When facing Louis, compared with Xiu's unclear victory that time, the Thunder Legion's victory was extremely difficult. They almost sacrificed until the last person before they died together with the possessed Louis. Regarding the human copy, the existing Thunder Squad seemed to have never encountered it. Du Ze always felt that it was because the Thunder Squad that entered the human copy was still trapped there. Although the human copy does not have much killing power, it can trap the climbers to death-if the answer to the Sphinx is not found, no one can escape from the Hall of Knowledge. Du Ze couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that they met Antonio at that time...
Du Ze was suddenly stunned. The thought that flashed through his mind made his hands and feet cold. Once was a coincidence, twice was luck, but what about three or even four times...? He met Rachel in the Undead dungeon, met Antonio in the Human dungeon, and although Du Ze didn't know what happened in the Dragon dungeon, Xiu did get important information; as for the Demon and Elf dungeons, the difficulty was greatly reduced due to Xiu's identity. No matter which level of the God Tower, they can get the benefits just right: either they meet the right people, or they get benefits due to Xiu's identity, so they can climb the tower so easily. It seems that something has been helping them all the time, or to be more precise, it is helping Xiu become the Supreme God.
Judging from the progress of the Thunder Legion's tower climbing, the elite Thunder Squad has only passed one or two floors of the God Tower, and most of them have been wiped out. Even if Du Ze exaggerated, the current tower climbers can only reach the third or fourth floor of the God Tower, and there are only a few like Xiu who have passed the fifth floor. If this continues, Du Ze has no doubt that Xiu will be the first to reach the top of the tower and become the Supreme God.
Because of the contrast, we realize that the God Tower is so cruel to others, but so tolerant to Xiu Que.
Rachel had finished talking about the past dungeons and began to talk about the intelligence of the new dungeons. The stone statues they had not yet obtained were the dwarf, the sky tribe and the beast tribe. The dwarf dungeon was previously known to be a dwarf ruin, and the sky tribe dungeon was still unknown - because there was no Thunder Squad that passed the sky tribe dungeon, Du Ze thought that those demons should have been angered by the God of Light. Therefore, the main focus now is on the beast tribe dungeon, which was provided by a demon named Gary, who was the only survivor of his Thunder Squad because all the other teammates were... killed by him.
"...After we selected five companions, we joined the battlefield. After entering, we saw many other tower climbers, all of whom were trapped in the battlefield. The entire battlefield was a forbidden magic area. Once a war song sounded, different teams would attack each other." Gary said almost woodenly: "At first we didn't find anything wrong with the war song. We just felt that our bloodiness and strength were somewhat aroused, which would generate the urge to fight. As time went on, the intervals between the war songs became shorter and shorter, and the duration became longer and longer. Gradually, we all lost our minds."
“When I came to my senses, everything was over.”
Du Ze listened to Gary's so-called end in silence. He reported to Rachel in detail the names of his teammates who died at his hands. Even though he was a cruel demon, Gary's pale face showed that he was very painful about killing his companions. In this respect, the beast dungeon is even the cruelest of all dungeons. Du Ze sincerely hoped that they would not face the beast dungeon immediately, but...
What you fear will come true, and what you want is not what you get.
Du Ze looked at the tribe simulated by the tower in front of him in silence. This was a typical beast tribe. They passed through the light gate and landed here. After the explanation of the tribal chief and Gary, Xiu had to choose 5 companions here to go to the battlefield to participate in the group battle. The others would wait for the return of the participants. It was not necessary to choose people from followers. The beast warriors in the tribe could also become companions of the tower climbers. It seemed that the tower was prepared for those who climbed the tower alone.
Xiu scanned everyone and finally set his sights on Du Ze. He had already known the dangers of the beastman dungeon, and even though Xiu was unwilling to separate from Du Ze, he could not bring Du Ze with him. After confirming that the people who stayed in the tribe were absolutely safe, Xiu selected four beastman warriors from the tribe - in fact, Xiu originally planned to select all beastman warriors, but the surviving demon volunteered to join. Considering Gary's experience, Xiu acquiesced to his joining.
"Master Xiu, please be careful." The demon sisters said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the young master." Old John comforted with a smile. As a mechanical puppet, Old John was not counted in the number of people, so he could also join the team.
Rachel told Gary to protect Xiu. Xiu put his hand on his silly boy's neck and leaned over to kiss Du Ze's soft earlobe.
"Wait until I come back."
Du Ze felt a chill in his ears, and then it suddenly became hot as if he had applied mint, reaching deep into his heart. He covered his red ears, and when he looked up, he could only see the silver-haired elf's back as he walked away. The huge wooden door of the tribe seemed to be chasing Xiu's figure, and it closed slowly and heavily when Xiu and his group left.
Du Ze looked at the closed door, and for some reason he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
神塔給留守人員的待遇還是挺好的，部落中應有盡有，杜澤甚至久違地泡了一個澡。躺在柔軟的床上，杜澤總是在想，其實最需要休息的那個人卻不在這裏。他看了看自己的手，從精靈副本出來時并沒有出現上次那種虛化的情況，但杜澤心中的不安卻沒有退去多少，他總是感覺他的時間，好像不多了。
部落中的獸族都是神塔模拟出來的假象，只具有規定的行為模式，無法交談。杜澤在部落轉了一圈，将部落圍起來的巨大木牆很好地隔絕了他對戰場的感知，別說那據說能讓人狂暴的戰歌，連厮殺聲都無法聽見。于是杜澤只能坐在大門前掰着手數日子，他并不擔心修，無論是萌主本身的實力，還是那冥冥相助的力量，都确保了最後的勝者一定是修，他只用等待就可以了。
因此在第十天，讀者等來了他的主角。雖然杜澤一直知道修會從戰場上勝出，但他根本沒料到那是一場如此慘烈的勝利。
沉重的巨門緩緩地拉開，杜澤剛欣喜地站起來，從拉開的門縫傳出的味道讓他愣在原地。那濃郁的、嗆鼻的血腥味被風一吹，不僅沒有散開，反而濃得像是要滴出血來，滿滿地充斥着所有人的鼻腔。順着木門的敞開，艾莉兒捂住了嘴，莫爾擰起了眉頭，魔族姐妹抱緊了對方，就連見慣血腥場面的雷切爾也不得不動容。
巨大的木門向所有人呈現出，一片血肉的煉獄。整個場面只能用絞肉機來形容，四處散落的肢體攪成一團，紅的、白的混在一起，血流成河。杜澤望着那些屍骸，連唾液也難以咽下。那些屍體不會消失，因為他們不是神塔模拟出來的假象，而是真正的生靈。從屍體的裝備和姿勢來看，可以發現有相當一部分生靈是死在自己人手上。
血腥味濃得幾乎開始熏眼睛，杜澤用力眨了眨眼，他強迫自己去看那恐怖的屍山血海，想要找到心中的那個人。然後他望見了，站在屍體堆上的紅發獅人。修此時已經處于獸族形态，并且獸化了相當一部分，可以很清楚地看到他臉上、手臂上浮現的紅色獸紋。他高高舉起了手，正掐着一個人的脖子，長長的獅尾垂下，似乎很是愉悅地甩了甩。
杜澤滿眼錯愕，因為修此時舉着的不是別人，正是加裏！那名魔族一張臉漲得通紅，血從他身上滴下，落在了修的臉上，渲染了修嘴角那絲充滿獸性的笑容。
“那是……殿下？”
雷切爾遲疑地問，修的獅耳晃動了一下，似乎被雷切爾的聲音所驚動，他回過頭，露出一雙铄石流金般的雙眼。那雙眼睛掃視了一遍所有人，最終落在杜澤身上。一瞬間，杜澤就覺得自己被一只猛獸給盯上了。
“小心……”一個微弱的聲音從屍堆裏傳來，杜澤發現那是只剩下半截身體的老約翰，正向他們發出警示：“小主人他沒有理智了——”
你不說小生也知道！QAQ
杜澤望着已經把加裏扔到一邊而向他走來的修，像一只被盯住的可憐獵物般無法動彈。
就在此時，獸神的降臨拯救苦逼讀者于水深火熱之中。格努須帶着數名獸神出現，當看到化為煉獄的戰場時，獸族主神的眼中閃過了許些驚異。
獸神的出現吸引了修的注意力，修看向以格努須為首的一行獸族，他舔了舔爪子，就像是一只蓄勢待發的獵手。還沒等格努須開口，修微彎下已經獸化的雙腿，宛如一支離弦的箭般沖向了格努須。
“唔……！”
格努須用血矛進行格擋，卻依舊被狠狠撞進了地裏。以兩人為圓心的地面開始崩裂塌陷，形成蛛網般的巨大裂痕。這就像是一個戰鬥開始的信號，從四面八方響起了越來越強的鼓聲，“咚、咚、咚”地每一聲都敲在了心跳上。等到與心跳重合時，鼓聲帶起心跳跳得越來越快，越來越血脈噴張。杜澤不得不按着自己快速跳動的心髒，加速流動的血液讓全身熱了起來，咆哮着要發洩什麽，要去毀壞什麽。
格努須盯着那近在咫尺的黃金獸眸，他咬緊了牙齒，青筋突出，也開始了獸化。獸紋爬上了格努須的額角，握着血矛的雙手也變得彎長尖利。獸族主神發出咆哮，試圖将壓在他上方的修甩出去。修借由格努須的力道向後跳去，他不是被格努須甩掉的，而是為了躲避來自其他獸神的攻擊。
所有獸神都在戰歌中狂化了，他們将修包圍，開始了獸族最為擅長的團戰。莫爾和雷切爾不再遲疑，也加入了戰鬥，然而相較于獸神們的默契合作，莫爾和雷切爾先不說有沒有默契，他們還要躲避修對他們的攻擊。修現在完全狂化了，他不分敵我，只懂得一味地蠻攻。
處理掉兩名獸神後，莫爾和雷切爾也不得不因傷退出戰鬥。此時場上還剩下獸族主神格努須和兩名獸神，聯手攻向獨身一人的修。修毫不在意對方的以多打少，臉上的笑容既恣意又妄為。在三個獸神的聯手下，修起先被壓制着，但随着時間的轉移，場上出現了致命的逆轉。
高昂的戰歌從未停止過，在戰歌的刺激下，所有獸族的狂化程度越來越深，越來越失去理智了。在某一個瞬間，一名獸神發出咆哮，突然返身一爪抓向距離他最近的同伴；被襲擊的獸神也發出怒吼，毫不遲疑地和那名獸神開始拼命。杜澤呆呆地看着這一切，看着獸神一口咬掉他同伴的脖子，看着被咬的獸神一爪子掏出了他同伴的心髒，看着那兩名獸神就這樣死在了同伴的手裏，整個場面既滑稽又怪誕。
杜澤感到骨子裏的寒意，見到此情此景，他甚至隐約知道獸族衰敗的原因了。
【獸族付出了理智，拿走了狂戰。】
有了精靈族的前車之鑒，杜澤聽着那鼓動着心髒的戰歌，不可避免地有了一個想法——這該不會也是創。世神的傑作吧？
知道這一切的只有獸族主神，可此時獸族主神正和修打得不可交開。在屍海之上，兩只猛獸正在厮殺着——那真的是兩只野獸，已經完全獸化的格努須和修相互撕咬，尖利的爪子都妄圖插入對方的心髒。
在修的一次撲咬時，格努須剛想側身閃避，卻被一樣東西扯得猛地頓了一下。那是老約翰，只剩下上半身的機械傀儡緊緊地抓着獸族主神的尾巴，被拖得落了一地的零件。在戰鬥中，哪怕是一瞬間的停頓也是致命的，修一口咬在了格努須的頸部，毫不遲疑地咬穿了頸動脈。
格努須龐大的身軀沉沉倒在屍骸上，在杜澤後方的部落中出現了紅色的出口光柱。但是此時沒人去在意出口的出現，所有人都盯着屍山上那傲然站立的漂亮野獸。柔軟的茶色鬓毛在微風中輕浮飄散，那只像是獅子般的野獸微微眯起了黃金色的雙眼，突然從屍山上跳下來，踩着優雅的步子走向了他的獵物。
面對越來越近的野獸，即使知道那是修，杜澤還是可恥地感到腿軟了，那是生物體面對猛獸時最本能的恐懼，更何況修現在的情況怎麽也說不上“正常”。
那雙铄石流金的眼睛很明亮很透徹，卻唯獨缺少了理性。
巨大的貓科動物停在了杜澤的面前，他颚下的鬓毛還染着鮮紅的血跡。如果不是某只蠢萌習慣性的面癱，在野獸湊近的那一刻杜澤就要哭喪臉了，他覺得自己現在已加入了肯德基豪華午餐。
誰也不敢出聲，生怕刺激到那只美麗但危險的野獸。
在那雙金色眸子的凝視下，杜澤顫顫巍巍地伸出了手，自己也不知道到底應該做什麽。
“修……？”
修認真盯了杜澤一會兒，突然垂下頭，他聞了聞杜澤的指尖，然後用臉蹭過了杜澤的手。
柔軟的鬓毛滑過了杜澤的手背，毛茸茸軟乎乎的。不知為何，杜澤在這一瞬間完全松懈下來了，再也感覺不到害怕。還沒等杜澤開口，他突然聽見維爾拉一陣驚呼，然後衣領一緊，回過神的時候他已經被修咬着後領提了起來。
巨大的獸叼着杜澤，沒有任何遲疑地跑進了紅色光柱。杜澤只覺得眼前先是一紅，再一亮，最後眼前就只剩下一片鋼鐵的灰色——在剛剛的那一刻，修咬着他回到了圓形大廳，根本沒有什麽停頓和間隙地又跳進了光門，于是他們抵達了侏儒遺跡。
……what？！
