The moment the two appeared, a faint roar could be heard from the ground.
Seconds later, the ground of one of the villages began to tremble, and then a human-like figure burst forth from the earth.
The figure quickly grew taller, its size equivalent to a mountain in the blink of an eye. Simultaneously, an indescribable aura emanated from it, freezing all small creatures in their places, trembling and unable to move.
The figure roared towards the sky, looking like a prisoner who had been locked up for a long time and was now free. With a downward slam of its clawed hands, the village below was instantly flattened.
"Is this... the ’monster’?"
Mu You incredulously stared at the giant shadow in the distance.
It was a humanoid shadow with wings on its back and stood hundreds of meters tall. It was pitch black throughout, except for its blood-red eyes. The figure exuded a sense of menace, resembling an enlarged Shadow Ghost by a hundredfold!
The moment the figure appeared, Mu You used the Omniscient Crystal to decode information about it. The resulting feedback left him stunned.
[God of Shadows: Level ???, Ability ???, Attributes: ∞, HP: ∞]
Aside from the name, there was just a series of question marks and infinity symbols. Did these indicate infinite attributes and life?
However, what surprised him even more was the name that had been uncovered.
Was this really a true deity?
As Mu You was contemplating, he suddenly saw the giant shadow raise its head towards the sky. Like it had found something it had been craving for, it licked its lips, leapt into the air, and headed straight for Sky City.
"As I thought, its target is Sky City!"
Mu You and Lin Xue exchanged a glance, quickly set up a Teleportation Array, and teleported back to Sky City.
A member of the Dragon Team closed his Magic Wand, capturing a fleeing shadow into a bottle.
The young man quickly sealed the bottle, paid no attention to the shadow frantically bumping inside, and anxiously looked back at his two companions who were still engrossed in their phones: "What, what? Dawn City is under attack?"
"Yes, it seems like the residents of Dawn City all received it. When I logged on, I was asked to choose between defending the city and escaping."
"Damn, could it be related to what’s happening in Tokyo tonight?"
"Of course it is! Our side just started getting chaotic, and Dawn City gets attacked. Such timing isn’t coincidental."
The three gathered and whispered softly but were interrupted by a reprimanding voice from the headphones: "You guys seem to have a lot of free time!"
The trio jumped. One of them hesitantly asked: "Director, do we not need to worry about the game? It seems pretty serious..."
"Stop worrying about things that don’t concern you. The game matters will be handled by the experts in the game. Why should you be in a rush? First, finish your current mission!"
Above Dawn City, a giant black arm suddenly clung to the edge of the city. Immediately, the giant Shadow Ghost leaped atop Sky City.
Seeing the city teeming with ’ants’ under its feet, the Shadow Ghost roared and swung its other arm down. The city shook violently, and all the players nearby received instant death notifications in the game.
As the Shadow Ghost was in its rage, the figures of Mu You and Lin Xue subtly emerged in an open space in front of it.
Staring at the giant creature above them, Mu You transformed into his robot form, and Lin Xue immediately summoned the spectral figure of the Grim Reaper.
However, even the Grim Reaper’s shadow, towering tens of meters high, seemed like a mere dwarf in front of this mammoth beast.
The giant Shadow Ghost didn’t even notice their presence. After climbing onto Sky City, it surveyed its surroundings and quickly locked onto the center of the city, ready to make its move.
But before it could take even one step, a remote whale’s song came from the sea underneath.
The next second, a giant octopus emerged from the sea like a cannonball. It instantly leaped onto the edge of Sky City, with four of its tentacles bracing against the ground. The remaining four wrapped around the giant Shadow Ghost and began pulling backwards, seemingly attempting to drag the Shadow Ghost back down from Sky City.
