Chapter 498 There are still accounts to be settled.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine arrow towers were completely wiped out.
On the distant sea, millions of casual players and the lowest-ranking members of the three major guilds were still fighting like dogs over the ordinary drops from Starsea King.
The colorful skill effects churned the seawater into a murky mess, and shouts and the sound of people falling into the water blended together.
But at the heart of this chaos, undercurrents are stirring.
On the protruding, massive reef, Saros gripped his giant axe tightly.
He stared intently at the empty back of the Kun, his fighting spirit, which had been extinguished by Chen You's terrifying true damage, now surged wildly back.
"President Salos, your eyes are terrifying."
A strange, sarcastic voice came from the side.
The Roman God Clan's leader, Oro, fiddled with the ruby at the top of his staff, but his gaze swept across the sea and locked onto Chen You.
"However, have you noticed something very interesting?"
Saros didn't turn his head, but just exhaled a loud breath from his nostrils: "Spit it out."
"He didn't recover any health." Auro's voice was low, yet it carried a penetrating force.
"Regardless of your and my attacks, the tens of thousands of health points lost have not recovered."
Saros looked in the direction Oro had indicated.
Chen You's health bar was indeed missing a section.
But this goes against common sense.
In "Origin World", the first thing any top player does after disengaging from combat is to fully restore their health and mana.
Whether it's taking medicine, using skills, or other means, maintaining full health is a player's obsession and the bottom line for survival.
"Not only did he not recover any health, he didn't even drink a single basic life potion." Auro tapped the ground lightly with his staff, his tone filled with certainty.
"He is indeed very strong, his defense is ridiculously high, and his damage is incomprehensible... but I don't believe he has no weaknesses."
"Perhaps he is in no condition to recover, or... he has exhausted all his trump cards in order to unleash that earth-shattering sword energy, and is now in a weakened state."
Oro's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the surrounding guild leaders to hear clearly.
The atmosphere on the reef instantly became subtle.
On the back of the Kun, Chen You stood against the wind, the hem of his Mo Yuan Xinghe robe billowing in the breeze.
He didn't need to listen to their conversation to feel the malicious gazes from across the room.
"I've been seen through?" Chen You muttered to himself.
But so what?
Chen You raised his hand and touched his chin.
The mythical set he was wearing not only had maximum defense and resistance, but also came with a "low-health shield" effect.
Moreover, there's the invincible state of the Destiny Stone when it's near death.
Even if we take a step back and assume it's just a clone, this is just a clone.
Even if we get wiped out by this group's concentrated fire, we can just wait for time to recombine.
But it seems there's no benefit to stubbornly persisting in this approach.
Previously, it was for the sake of fighting for the BOSS, but now the BOSS is gone.
Oro naturally understood this as well, but he couldn't swallow the fact that most of the Roman gods had been wiped out.
But if we go back up there, I'm afraid the tragedy will repeat itself.
He turned to Thalos: "Thalos, is the glory of the Titans being trampled underfoot like this? Where is your charge?"
The veins on the back of Saros's hand, which was gripping the giant axe, bulged, and he breathed heavily from his nostrils.
Just then, a cold white light descended from the sky.
The Elf God Clan's leader, Moon Arrow, landed barefoot on the back of the Nine Nether Devouring Kun, standing just half a step to Chen You's side.
She wore a spotless white dress, standing out starkly from the bloody battlefield around her.
"He is an ally of the Moon Goddess's Radiance." Moon Arrow's tone was calm, but it directly stated his position. "Anyone who touches him is declaring war on the Elven Gods."
Upon hearing this, the players who were vying for equipment on the sea stopped what they were doing and stared in shock at the two people on the back of the giant fish.
The aloofness of the Elven Gods is well-known in the Origin Realm, so why would Moon Arrow take the initiative to support a player?
Chen You glanced at Moon Arrow.
The Elven gods have found a way to broaden their path.
Seeing this, Oro spoke again: "Saros! The elven gods are just bluffing!"
"As soon as you make a move, I'll immediately send the Shadow of Roman's mage corps to your aid! He has no regeneration abilities; we can wear him down!"
All eyes were on Saros.
The Titan berserkers raised their weapons, waiting for their leader's order to launch a desperate charge.
Salos stared at Chen You, his chest heaving violently.
The image of himself being instantly drained of half his health by thousands of crossbow bolts flashed through his mind, followed by the horrific sight of thousands of Roman Clan mages being reduced to ashes by Chen You's lightning spell.
There was a full ten seconds of silence.
Suddenly, Saros hoisted the giant axe in his hand onto his shoulder.
"Pooh!"
Saros spat a mouthful of phlegm at Oro's feet, splashing a few drops of seawater.
Oro took a half step back in disgust, frowning as he asked, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Saros pointed at Oro's nose and cursed, "Oro, do you think the muscles in my head have squeezed out all my brains?"
Oro was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot?!" Thalos's roar shook the surrounding seawater, causing ripples.
"He didn't heal? Does he even need to heal? All those thousands of mages focused their fire on him just now, and they didn't even get the dust off his clothes!"
"Now you want me to charge in? To test his cards? Why don't you just grab your staff and smash it over his head yourself?"
Auro, his face turning pale and then flushed from the criticism, said, "I did this for the greater good..."
"To hell with the big picture!" Thalos didn't give Auro a chance to explain. "You want to use the lives of the Titans' Temple to fuel his sword aura, while you hide behind and reap the benefits?"
"Keep dreaming! I'm reckless, not stupid!"
Thalos waved his hand dismissively: "Titan Temple, all troops retreat!"
After giving the order, Thalos used a teleport scroll and disappeared in a flash of white light.
On the reef, Auro tightened his grip on his staff.
The plan fell through.
He had intended to provoke Saros into becoming a scout and testing Chen You's abilities, but who knew that the muscle-bound berserker would be so unusually clear-headed today.
Now, the Roman gods are in an awkward position.
Since things have come to this, there's no need to stay here any longer.
"Withdraw," Oro whispered the order.
Several thousand Roman god mages, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, began to teleport back to the city.
They either witnessed it with their own eyes or experienced it firsthand, being struck down to ashes by that terrifying purple lightning.
Nobody wants to face that monster that doesn't even budge its health bar anymore.
Did I let you leave?
The Nine Nether Devouring Kun slowly rose, and a calm voice came from the sky.
Oro paused in his steps.
He raised his head and looked at the broad back of the Nine Nether Devouring Kun.
Chen You stood there, his Mo Yuan Xing He robe billowing in the wind.
He stood with one hand behind his back, looking down at the Roman gods below, his gaze as calm as if he were looking at a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
Moon Arrow stood beside Chen You, without leaving.
Oro's face was grim: "President Chen, the BOSS battle is over. It's better for everyone if we all back down."
