Player Forum.
The atmosphere was chaotic.
All the players on the Asgard map were in an uproar on the forum because no one dared to stay online; anyone who logged in would be killed by the super magic skills.
"Is the game company trying to make everyone quit the game?"
"Can someone check if the people in Asgard can still log in?"
"No, I just got killed by the Ice and Snow World as soon as I logged in, and lost a level of experience…"
"Midgard's main city was destroyed too; Uehara Naraku just massacred all the players there, so Midgard can't log in either…"
"Niflheim is done too… The entire map is raining lava… The damage can't be resisted for more than a few minutes…"
"Muspelheim, the Land of Fire, has also been turned into an Ice and Snow World… This world boss is truly going to end the world!"
"..."
"Is Helheim the only world left among the nine worlds?"
"The last message before logging off, it seems like Uehara Naraku is attacking the last guild stronghold in Nazarick, which seems to be the base of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild?"
"Is that the base that, like Sky City, is said never to fall, and destroyed a coalition of fifteen hundred men?"
"Is there such a powerful guild?"
"Newbies might not know this, but the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild consists of a bunch of eccentrics, and they seem to only accept players who pay real money. They rarely participate in major events… because of their small numbers…"
"It's been less than a day, right? Uehara Naraku has attacked all the way from the top map of Sky City in Asgard to the lowest map of Nazarick in Helheim…"
"I just want to know when this catastrophe event will end…"
"I'm more curious about what the game company actually wants…"
"Inside news, it seems the president of the game company, Uehara, heard that his world boss character was being hunted by players, so he had the catastrophe version developed…"
"Is that true?"
"How can there be such a president?"
"That's too much! There's nothing more to say. After the catastrophe ends, we're going online to team up again and take down Uehara Naraku. We can't let this go unavenged…"
"+1!"
"Do we really have a chance…"
"Last time, five guilds teamed up, with five magic chanters using super magic, along with countless paid items, blasted away ten percent of his HP… but were finally wiped out by Uehara Naraku's Rain of Elemental Chaos…"
"Awkward…"
"Shout out our motto!"
"Never quit YGGDRASIL until we take down Uehara Naraku!"
The entire forum was in an uproar.
The game company's customer service hotline was nearly overwhelmed with calls.
Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about it; the only person who could was attacking the last guild stronghold, the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild base at Nazarick Great Tomb.
This guild…
Is also home to the most world-class items!
Down in the throne room beneath the tenth layer of Nazarick Great Tomb, all members of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild were gathered here to discuss how to face Uehara Naraku.
"The catastrophe event might not be as simple as we thought."
Punittomoe sat leisurely in a chair and spoke slowly, "According to the information we've gathered, any player holding world-class items will undoubtedly drop them when killed. This event might be a method for the game company to reclaim world-class items…"
"What if we quit the game?"
"Also unrealistic."
Momonga shook his head, taking over the conversation to explain, "Based on known information, all players must undergo the baptism of the catastrophe event. Even if they quit the game, they'll remain inside in an AFK state, which means they're at the mercy of others unless they die once then quit the game…"
Punittomoe nodded, looking at everyone, continuing, "Moreover, when we kill someone holding world-class items now, they also undoubtedly drop them, which means world-class items will inevitably appear in front of Uehara Naraku…"
"Then let's have a protection battle on our turf!"
"This is our home ground. Who knows, we might be the first guild to take down Uehara Naraku, this world boss…"
"The Guardians of the first to third layers created by Perorochino, Shalltear Bloodfallen, has already gone to fight!"
"Uehara Naraku has already come in; hurry and figure out a strategy…"
The surface of the table at the entire Ainz Ooal Gown Guild stretched out a mirrored screen, reflecting an adorable silver-haired girl clad in bright red armor, the NPC Guardian created by Perorochino, and a top-tier guardian in overall strength!
Shalltear Bloodfallen!
Even some players in the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild may not match Shalltear in strength because she's equipped with full legendary equipment and a Divine Artifact Dropper Spear!
But Shalltear's power should be unrivaled in group battles…
Because she can anytime use the Dropper Spear to siphon HP from people around for replenishment!
In fact, precisely so, creator Perorochino specially arranged for Shalltear to summon a swarm of Vampire Bride minions before her battle, interfering with enemies, used to replenish Shalltear's own HP…
Second Layer of Nazarick Great Tomb.
Just as Uehara Naraku stepped in, Shalltear immediately leaped forward wielding the Dropper Spear to confront him straightaway, this adorable silver-haired, red-armored girl was about to break out her invincible melee prowess!
But a fist swung towards Shalltear, directly bypassing the Dropper Spear, looking to knock this NPC girl to the ground!
"High-tier Teleportation!"
Shalltear's figure darted away instantly!
But it was to no avail, looking dazedly around with her silver-haired face, wondering why her Space Teleportation Skill seemed ineffective…
The next moment, Uehara Naraku's punch landed on Shalltear's face, sending the silver-haired girl flying, and he directly snatched the Dropper Spear from Shalltear, tearing off the connection between the spear and Shalltear's body!
Immediately afterward…
Uehara Naraku fiercely hurls the Dropper Spear, pinning Shalltear's body hard on the ground, this silver-haired girl still NPC status dazed before her death…
Guardians of the first to third layers…
Shalltear Bloodfallen, killed!
Uehara Naraku simply blocked space, used two normal attacks, directly killing this top-tier NPC girl!
Bottom layer of Ainz Ooal Gown Guild.
Perorochino held his head, grumpily muttering, "Ah ah ah ah, how could that guy treat Shalltear like that!"
"Hey hey hey!"
Bubbly Tea Kettle looked at his brother, slowly urging, "Calm down, that's an NPC… Besides, that Shalltear wasn't that impressive, right!"
"That was the cutest creation ever!"
"The cutest creation, more like the most unsightly one, you pervert put all your quirks into Shalltear's design, didn't you!"
"You're the pervert voicing some game characters, also, take a look at your own Slime avatar, it's like a walking ding…"
Bang!
While Perorochino and Bubbly Tea Kettle were still bickering, and others were discussing strategies, the mirrored screen on the table suddenly lit up, a strong vibration caused every guild member to gasp in shock!
The mirrored screen flashed a scene.
Two broken bodies lay in the sixth layer's arena!
Those were two Dark Elf NPCs, namely the twins Aura and Mare created by Bubbly Tea Kettle, sixth layer's guardians killed!
This turned the situation around…
Bubbly Tea Kettle and Perorochino the siblings needn't argue anymore, as the NPCs they created were killed…
Momonga couldn't help asking, "Wait, the sixth layer's guardians were killed, what about Cocytus, the fifth layer's guardian?"
"Surely wiped out too…"
"Don't panic, we're waiting on the ninth layer, our trump card is laid on the eighth layer, let's wait until Uehara Naraku breaks through the eighth layer…"
"Check on the seventh layer, will Demiurge manage to drop some of Uehara Naraku's HP? So far his HP seems full right?"
"Unrealistic…"
"Hold on, why does it feel like we're the bosses in those dungeons and maps waiting to be defeated, whereas Uehara Naraku feels like a player raiding a dungeon!"
"Seems like our roles have switched…"
"In terms of identity and strength, they both feel swapped…"
"..."
The entire chatter of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild suddenly ceased.
Each player finally realized something was off, whereas outside a world boss they could hardly defeat was attacking their guild base, why did it feel like the other side treating them as though raiding a dungeon?
