Uehara Naraku's plan is good.
In order to gather enough World Power quickly, he has implemented a super-difficulty game update, which is the largest scale update in the past ten years.
Uehara Naraku hopes that after the update, someone will want to use world-class items in exchange for his help to be the first to clear a dungeon, beat other world bosses, or occupy new map resource points.
This kind of behavior...
Is equivalent to handing the opportunity to clear the game over to the players!
However, players don't seem interested in these things, because this massive ten-year update seems to have reignited the passion they had at the game's initial launch. Countless guilds, upon seeing the high difficulty of the dungeons, immediately started competing for progress...
Even being ahead by just one percent is worth bragging about...
Of course...
The most crucial is that world-class items in this game are scarce.
Back when there were still over a hundred game items, large guilds would trade them to Uehara Naraku without even blinking an eye. Now the situation is different...
Within the entire game world, players may have less than twenty world-class items left. According to statistics from dedicated players, the world boss Uehara Naraku has retrieved at least over a hundred and fifty world-class items through various methods...
This means there are still about thirty undiscovered world-class items globally, each extremely precious, truly becoming irreplaceable once lost.
Guild leaders have developed new ideas...
They think that whoever holds the last item not traded to Uehara Naraku will be the only guild capable of utilizing Uehara Naraku, and perhaps also the last guild with a chance to overthrow the boss Uehara Naraku!
Just using them for the first dungeon clear...
Even with rich rewards, it's a waste.
Moreover, even if used to explore new maps using Uehara Naraku's Summon opportunity, one would be defenseless when attacked by enemies later...
In this situation...
Uehara Naraku is not without means.
The game's company headquarters.
Uehara Naraku, seated in his game sleeping pod, put forward his idea: "The new version seems well-received, let's launch the catastrophic event led by me!"
This is considered a strategic move.
No, rather it's a cleanup of the game world!
Every guild, even every player will be caught in this catastrophe, and no one will escape unscathed!
"Catastrophic event?"
A group of people couldn't help but exchange glances.
This group has long known their company's president had such intentions, but never expected him to directly bring it online during the ten-year anniversary update!
Isn't this too fast!
Originally, they had thought about this issue before, this move would cause substantial losses to all players in the game, would players accept this new version?
"We'll do it this way!"
Uehara Naraku casually grabbed the juice cup, softly said: "When they were besieging me, weren't they quite happy? At least let me return the favor a bit!"
"..."
A group looked at each other.
Everyone had a strange idea arising in their minds; perhaps this is their president's real purpose! Who let this president love playing as the world boss!
During this period...
Continually bullied by the players...
This president, whose heart is smaller than a needle, definitely wants revenge, it's unexpected he'd open the catastrophe version so soon to retaliate, even starring as the world boss!
A game company's president...
Once holding grudges, even players aren't spared...
Such a petty president really isn't one to provoke!
Since the president has spoken, his subordinates must naturally comply... and moreover, there's nothing particularly troublesome about this version.
The man in a suit pondered for a while, softly said: "Where should we start? So far we don't have any quests or NPCs tied with Uehara Naraku..."
"Pick a resource point on a new map!"
Uehara Naraku glanced at the man in a suit with surprise: "Check which guild has the fastest progress? Which new map are they exploring?"
"Seems like the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild..."
The man in the suit hesitated for a second, softly said: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a resource point called Divine Valley, where there are remains of several gods, ranked highly among all resource points..."
"Them, then."
Uehara Naraku heavily put down the cup in his hand.
YGGDRASIL game world.
The Ainz Ooal Gown Guild had gained a significant advantage in raid progression after the version update. Although their numbers were not large, their overall strength was above that of other guilds.
Whether exploring new dungeons or conquering new map resource points, the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild maintained a considerable lead. The guild master Momonga hadn't had a proper rest for a long time.
Efforts are never in vain.
Today, the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild has a hope of capturing a new resource point, a rich resource site named Divine Valley!
The resources within Divine Valley could be completely used to create more divine artifact equipment or continue intensifying the development of their Nazarick Great Tomb base!
Whether due to its geographical advantages, abundant resources, or beautiful scenery, it is enough to captivate anyone's heart and could even serve as an alternative guild headquarters!
Divine Valley.
The Ainz Ooal Gown Guild finally defeated the boss of Divine Valley, advancing deep into the valley. All they needed was to find the control point of Divine Valley...
Momonga's skeleton frame took steady steps towards the depths of Divine Valley, followed by dozens of Ainz Ooal Gown Guild players: "Speaking of which, we should be the first to successfully clear this, right!"
"Probably, right?"
"The top three guilds' progress seems to be doing well too..."
Just as a group of guild players were casually chatting, their footsteps suddenly stopped. Endless notifications abruptly appeared on everyone's system panel!
"You have entered the domain of the gods..."
"You have intruded upon the realm of the gods..."
"You have disturbed the peace of the gods..."
The next moment, the sky suddenly changed color!
Perorochino suddenly looked up at the sky, speaking subconsciously: "Tier Six Magic weather control? This underestimates us players a bit too much!"
In the span of ten years...
The power of players is incomparable to the past.
Tier Six Magic is barely worth mentioning, as these players have already mastered the existence to unleash super magic!
"This isn't weather control!"
Momonga immediately shook his head, raising his head to look at the sky, saying in a deep voice: "This is Elemental Chaos among super magic, and what's about to come is Rain of Elemental Chaos. Everyone, raise your defenses first. This is a massive area attack, it's temporarily impossible to retreat!"
The next second...
The sky quickly unleashed a barrage of bizarre magic!
Lightning, flames, falling rocks, hurricanes, magma, countless types of chaotic and complex magic poured down, except for super magic, any elemental magic fell from the sky!
"If I remember correctly..."
Momonga's skeletal frame raised its head to look at the endlessly descending magic in the sky, his expression becoming faintly strange: "Not many people have mastered this super magic... Even among NPCs, it seems only one has used it..."
As a magic profession, Momonga's focus on magic skills far exceeds that of others, and he also really likes skills like Elemental Chaos...
Because this skill...
If successfully cast, it can directly create a battlefield where enemies cannot move a step and are passively attacked. Until Elemental Chaos is broken, one must endure the attacks of Rain of Elemental Chaos!
Even in today's game filled with countless super magics, this skill has always been a favorite among magic professions, but unfortunately, no players have been able to master it yet...
"Advanced Defense Barrier!"
Bubbly Tea Kettle and Herohero, two Slimes, simultaneously activated their skills, shielding their companions under their protection, independently raising another defense barrier against the falling elemental attacks from the sky!
Herohero couldn't help but turn his head to Momonga, shouting: "Hey, Momonga, can you use transfer magic to transfer everyone out directly!"
"No way..."
Momonga slowly shook his head, using his skills to assist his companions in defense, he explained in a deep voice: "Even if transfer magic is used, it's impossible to escape the range of Divine Valley, even if my MP is sufficient to sustain Rain of Elemental Chaos covering the entire Divine Valley...
And this boss using Chaos Rain, if his MP is sufficient, the range of this skill can cover the surface of any world map in the Nine Worlds, which is enough to destroy the world, that's why it's called the ultimate super magic of mages..."
No matter which magic profession...
They all desire to obtain Elemental Chaos and its derived skills!
However, the prerequisite for obtaining this skill is successfully mastering all elemental powers of nature, which is a bit difficult, because some elements can only be mastered by specific professions...
Just as Momonga was continuing his explanation...
A world announcement abruptly appeared!
[The Ainz Ooal Gown Guild has disturbed the peace of the gods in Divine Valley. As a minor punishment for the ignorant, Divine Punishment will descend upon the Nine Worlds!
Uehara Naraku, the holder of the World Will, will continuously create a 7-day cataclysm across the Nine Worlds. All players, please prepare for response!]
