Chapter 2716: Chapter 1837: The Worst Start
But for Duanmu Huai, this was truly disgusting.
"Mr. Duanmu, has Brutal Wrath...really been eliminated?"
Mary stared at Duanmu Huai, nervously inquiring, while Duanmu Huai shrugged.
"If you’re referring to the guy who’s always pretending loyalty on the Brass Throne, then it’s indeed finished."
"Well...?"
"However, as to whether there will be a second Brutal Wrath in the future, who can say for sure? Subspace is such a sinister thing, and at this point, we can’t possibly format it and reinstall it."
Duanmu Huai sighed helplessly at this point. From his perspective, if it could be formatted and reinstalled, that would be ideal. But it would also mean the extinction of all life in the Milky Way. That, of course, is impossible, not to mention other races, humans can’t all be wiped out.
To put it simply, Subspace used to be an empty room, and then the Ancient Saints waged war here leaving the place full of mess, with the Chaos Evil Gods as the largest piles. Duanmu Huai can only hold his nose and shovel these piles away, and then sweep the place clean with a broom. Whether more piles will return in the future, Duanmu Huai can’t say.
He might have to conduct a massive cleanup of Subspace after dealing with these four bastards, but of course, that’s not enough. Subspace is boundless, and Duanmu Huai can only manage the Milky Way area — hmm, he doesn’t want to handle it alone.
He’ll have to talk to the GM carefully later, see if he can trick a few more unlucky fellows like himself to come here as cleaners, then he can lie back and count money.
Let the cleaners handle the cleanup.
"So, next up, the second stage."
After regrouping with a few others, Duanmu Huai returned to the battlefield where he fought Brutal Wrath. At this moment, Brutal Wrath’s corpse had long vanished, leaving only a flashing teleportation portal. Clearly, with Brutal Wrath’s demise, the first stage concluded, which means...
"The easiest is down, the remainder are troublesome."
Duanmu Huai grinned as he stared at the teleportation portal. Although Brutal Wrath was the strongest in combat among the Four Gods, in Duanmu Huai’s view, it was the easiest to deal with. The reason was simple, fighting it didn’t require much brainpower, just battle. Win and you’re the boss, lose and you’re trash.
Simple, direct, and very clear.
But the remaining three... Corrupted Foil is simply garbage that won’t come off once it sticks, Obsessive Sin is even more perverted (Duanmu Huai just hopes the Spirit Race’s Death God can fulfill the prophecy and eliminate it, he’d rather fight the Spirit Race’s Death God than Obsessive Sin, though unfortunately, in Duanmu Huai’s view, their prophecies never come true), and of course, the one that counters him most, Cunning Deception.
It can be said, the battles ahead will only be more challenging.
That’s why Duanmu Huai likes Musou and dislikes puzzles.
Unfortunately, he has no choice now.
However, this time, before leaving, Duanmu Huai found some other things. Now the system is forbidden, and the items in his inventory can’t be used. So Duanmu Huai needed to find something for later use, and luckily there’s a military warehouse nearby. Originally the door should have been sealed shut, maybe it got affected during his battle with Brutal Wrath and smashed open, so Duanmu Huai unceremoniously accepted all the weapons inside.
Of course, Duanmu Huai didn’t have an available system inventory, but luckily he learned from Mary and carried a Dimension Pocket from Faelun World with him just in case. This item is something inherently from the world, so it wasn’t locked along with the system. Thus, Duanmu Huai looted all the supplies from the military warehouse — considering the current state of Hive City, even the Emperor is doomed, who knows what it will turn into.
Rather than cheapening those lower Hive City’s mobs and gangsters, it’s better to keep it for one’s own shine and heat.
Even if he doesn’t need it, others do.
"Alright."
After tidying up and cleaning the surroundings, Duanmu Huai faced the others with a serious expression and nodded.
"Let’s go."
Facing Duanmu Huai’s words, the young girls also tightened their expressions, then followed behind Duanmu Huai, and they walked into the teleportation portal ahead.
In the next moment, a familiar voice rang in Duanmu Huai’s ear.
"Ah, master!"
Duanmu Huai opened his eyes, finding himself and others appearing once again in a room similar to before. This time, standing in the room were Ogis, Naruse Mio, Alice Phil, and Medea.
"How did you get here?"
"We just arrived, though earlier we were still fighting with Demons and the Eye of Fear, suddenly we appeared in this place... What’s going on, teacher?"
"Hmm..."
Hearing Naruse Mio’s response, Duanmu Huai pondered for a while. They’ve spent considerable time in Hive City, but based on their statements, it seems they’ve only recently arrived in this space. Is the time for each stage different? Does the time they spend in one world not affect the next? Or is the next world actually frozen in time, only starting once he opens it?
"It’s a long story... Well, actually it’s not that long."
Duanmu Huai briefly explained the circumstances of this game to them and then talked about his previous progress.
"So one of the Chaos Evil Gods has been eliminated?"
Alice Phil asked curiously, to which Duanmu Huai nodded.
"That’s right, but the real issue lies ahead. Regardless of which Evil God is in this world, it will only be harder to deal with than Brutal Wrath."
At this point, Duanmu Huai stared at them.
"Regardless, we’ve made it here. Are you ready?"
"Of course."
"Then let’s go."
While saying this, Duanmu Huai walked to the front of the door, reached out to push it open, and seeing this, Medea was somewhat surprised.
"It really opens, even though earlier Miss Alice and I tried everything but couldn’t open it."
Hearing Medea’s remark, Duanmu Huai chuckled, then walked through the door.
Subsequently, dazzling sunlight emerged.
Duanmu Huai squinted his eyes, placing his hand before them, and after a moment, his eyes gradually adjusted to the view in front of him — a paved road with tall buildings visible around, clearly a modern city.
But it’s not just a simple modern city, everywhere are car wrecks, bloodstains, and even corpses, the whole city emits thick black smoke, looking as if a war has occurred.
"What’s happened here? Is it war?"
"No."
Duanmu Huai stared ahead, silently drawing out his Chainsaw Sword. At the same time, from the far end of the road, a noise of chaotic footsteps arrived, even causing the ground to tremble.
Then, everyone saw thousands of figures rushing toward them — or strictly speaking, they were no longer humans.
But zombies.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Seeing Duanmu Huai and the group, those zombies shrieked as if spotting delicious prey, and then they turned into a surging tide, sprinting directly toward them.
"Hah..."
Watching this scene, Duanmu Huai sighed, then activated the Chainsaw Sword. He already knew which Evil God was in this place, and it happened to be a disgusting one.
Truly the worst start.
