God Slaying Operation

"Watanabe-kun, is this intelligence from Temple authentic?"

In the presidential suite on the top floor of Tianjing Grand Hotel, several important executives of Mirage Tower sat around the conference table. They were examining documents and engaging in a discussion.

The documents clearly recorded all of Blue Skeleton's battle achievements in The Great Wasteland.

All the details, from the battle against Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix to the data on slaughtering over ten thousand Temple players and defeating three World Bosses, were meticulously recorded.

However, Mirage Tower's guild leader Eastern Sunrise clearly maintained a skeptical attitude toward this intelligence.

His fingers rhythmically tapped on this two-finger-thick document.

"According to this, this undead creature once dealt millions of damage and single-handedly killed three of the four World Bosses... heh."

Eastern Sunrise suddenly flung the document in his hand, scattering papers all over the conference table.

Furiously scolding Watanabe Saburo, "Watanabe-kun, don't you find this kind of thing ridiculous?"

"Easterners always like to exaggerate about themselves, making their things sound miraculous. Heh, in the future, Watanabe-kun, please don't bring up such obviously foolish intelligence that's meant to deceive idiots."

"Yes, yes, yes, Eastern-kun, I was careless and got fooled by these Temple kids. Next time, this definitely won't happen again."

Watanabe Saburo fearfully collected the documents from the conference table.

"Eastern-kun, actually I have a different perspective. China has an ancient saying: 'There must be a reason for everything, nothing comes from thin air.'"

Izumi Yuki, sitting in a side seat, suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Does Miss Yuki have a different view of this undead creature?"

Eastern Sunrise raised his hand, signaling Watanabe Saburo to hand over the documents again.

Watanabe Saburo naturally didn't dare delay and quickly presented the documents again.

Eastern Sunrise took the documents, flipping through them while quietly waiting for Izumi Yuki to continue.

Izumi Yuki didn't keep him waiting long. She flipped through her copy of the documents, pointing to a specific page and saying,

"The reason Eastern-kun doubts the authenticity of this intelligence is probably because of this undead creature's identity, right?"

Seeing Eastern Sunrise nod, Izumi Yuki felt secretly pleased and continued,

"Actually, everyone might know that undead creatures are indeed at the bottom of the hierarchy in The Great Wasteland game."

"However, there are always exceptions. I once researched and found that an Undead Reaper named Chernyov accidentally received the blessing of a trident and gained tremendous power. It was also undead."

"Moreover, not just on Skeleton Island, but in various places, such heaven's chosen children are born. Regardless of race, they all have such opportunities."

"You mean..." Eastern Sunrise pondered for a moment, tapping the conference table. "This undead might have gained significant opportunities, which is why it has such power?"

"That's not right, Miss Yuki. What you said does have some merit, but although The Great Wasteland's realism reaches one hundred percent, it's still ultimately a game. Games can't possibly release such an overpowered NPC to slaughter players from the beginning. Any game like that would close down sooner or later."

Eastern Sunrise voiced his doubts.

But Izumi Yuki quickly provided an answer, "Does Eastern-kun still think this is just a game even now?"

"Hmm?" Eastern Sunrise neither denied nor nodded, but deep down he indeed acknowledged the fact that The Great Wasteland had transcended the category of games.

"Even if this undead is an NPC with opportunities, its battle record still has no credibility whatsoever."

"Well, actually I think the authenticity of this intelligence should be half true and half false. The undead's battle record definitely has exaggerated elements. Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix's strength was something we experienced during Mythic. A single undead couldn't possibly defeat them."

Izumi Yuki analyzed, "Maybe it's Temple's conspiracy, or maybe there was a small problem within Temple. Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix just used this undead's hand to break away from Temple."

"As for it being able to slaughter over ten thousand Temple players, that was probably pushed by Temple's enemies for publicity. Eastern-kun might not know, but this intelligence didn't come entirely from Temple. Part of it was bought by Watanabe-kun from other guilds, and Temple's documents don't contain this information."

"Other guilds?" Eastern Sunrise looked at Watanabe Saburo with surprise, who quickly nodded.

"So Temple doesn't acknowledge that they were once slaughtered by an undead?"

Izumi Yuki nodded, "In the Chinese region, Temple has dominated for too long. I'm not sure how many people want to drag Temple down, but there definitely aren't few."

"This undead should be a chess piece pushed forward by these people to oppose Temple, just like A Silly Cutie, nothing but a puppet."

"The three World Bosses being killed single-handedly by it is even more laughable. I estimate that after these people united their forces to defeat the World Bosses, they deliberately gave the credit to this undead to suppress Temple."

"When you put it like that, I understand." Eastern Sunrise smiled mysteriously,

"This undead named Blue Skeleton and that so-called Cutie God are likely false gods created by the enemy forces of Temple. Even Temple suffered significant losses because of them."

"Hehe, since Miss Yuki's analysis is so reasonable, do you already have a plan to deal with this false god?"

Hearing him ask, Izumi Yuki took a deep breath, knowing her time to shine had come, and quickly said, "I wouldn't call it a perfect plan, but it should greatly help our operation."

Seeing his very expectant gaze, Izumi Yuki didn't dare to keep him in suspense and continued,

"Since they went to such great lengths to create a god and have established sufficient prestige among Chinese region players, why don't we stage a god slaying operation?"
