This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 957 - 454: The Fear of Being Dominated

Dawn City, in the deepest part of the power chamber of the Underground City.

"I have a foreboding premonition..."

The bard’s phantom emerged from the Divine Lamp, looking up at the pitch-black sky above, his brow slightly furrowed.

Just now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill from the sky, a somewhat familiar feeling that reminded him of the fear once dominated by the Divine Beast.

"That direction... is the Forgotten Land..."

The bard muttered to himself, could it be that something happened in the Forgotten Land?

Regrettably, he was currently responsible for guarding the Order Successor at any given moment and couldn’t spare the time to investigate.

The bard sighed and turned his head to look at the figure in the distance.

At this moment, Mu You was lying on the ground with his eyes tightly closed, as if in deep sleep. However, from his skin, which was as red as blood like lava and flickered between bright and dim, it was clear he was undergoing some kind of agony—a state which made sleep impossible.

In the initial phase of the fusion, Mu You indeed trembled violently in pain, every organ in his body struggling instinctively.

However, this condition lasted for less than two days.

From the third day on, Mu You suddenly became quiet, his trembling ceased, and he lay motionless, adopting the current appearance of a deep slumber, silent and frightening.

At first, the bard was startled, thinking the pain had overwhelmed Mu You’s endurance and that the fusion had taken a wrong turn, and was about to fail.

However, after his examination, he found that Mu You’s vital signs were all normal, the fusion was still proceeding smoothly, and the situation was unexpectedly good, even faster than anticipated.

What the bard didn’t know was that Mu You, of course, couldn’t feel any pain at this time because his consciousness had shifted from inside his body onto a familiar Karma Line.

It wasn’t that he actively controlled his consciousness to escape; during the fusion process, his consciousness was forcibly kept awake, unable to initiate Mind’s Eye Vision under the immense pain.

But at a certain moment on the third day, Mu You suddenly felt a pull, and before he could understand what it was, his consciousness lightened and was automatically drawn onto that Karma Line by some force.

And at the moment his consciousness left his body, another consciousness came rushing towards him from the other end of the Karma Line, too late for Mu You to dodge.

Fortunately, this consciousness bore no ill intent; instead, at the moment of contact, it transmitted a wealth of information to him.

It was a series of disjointed images, displaying many familiar Earth city scenes—unexplained and without context, simply looping abruptly through Mu You’s consciousness.

The Earth in these images, however, displayed harrowing scenes of chaos and destruction. The sky was filled with strange phenomena, utterly unlike the sky he knew, and below, countless people were screaming and fleeing, as strange and monstrous beasts chased the inhabitants through the cities, wreaking havoc.

As the monster invasion continued, one street after another was reduced to rubble...

"Is this a dream? Or reality?"

Mu You was initially puzzled.

As the imagery continued to unfold, revealing more and more scenes to him, he slowly came to understand the meaning of these images.

To his shock, during the time he was fusing with the Divine Bone, such a cataclysm had befallen Earth!

"The heavens have changed... So this is what ’changing of the heavens’ means..."

Mu You immediately recalled the warning left by Fu Ya’s Ancestor; he had thought it was just a simple message, but to his surprise, the so-called change of the heavens turned out to be such a severe crisis.

And now, the information he was receiving was sent by some ’Admin,’ intended to inform him in time about the events on Earth so that once he finished fusing with the Divine Bone, he would return to Earth immediately to help resolve the situation.

Actually, Mu You was not sure whether the power of the God of Order would be effective against those ’holes’ in the sky, but since these Admins trusted him so much, he assumed that upon his return, he should at least be able to alleviate the current crisis.

Therefore, Mu You could only strive to speed up the fusion, but no matter how fast, the fusion process couldn’t take less than six days.

That meant, before his return, humanity had to endure at least another three days on their own!

Fortunately, according to the latest images, human circumstances were still reasonably good, especially after the Faith System came online. Players gathered together, starting to hunt monsters proactively, shrinking the range of these strange beasts noticeably as players chipped away at their numbers.

However, Mu You was aware this was only temporary, because the real difficulty had yet to emerge.

The Titans were what humanity truly needed to fear.

It wasn’t just the presence of the Divine Beast; the Titans themselves held power sufficient to obliterate humanity.

If humans were to treat Titans merely as slightly larger monsters and continue with their current lax approach to hunting strange beasts, they would most certainly suffer greatly!

...

Currently, under the Black Hole in the Pacific Ocean, countless players were in the midst of a fervent chase, hunting monsters.

From their faces, one could hardly see any fear, only greed and anticipation for the spoils of battle.
