Chapter 323: Abyss Sovereign, Zero!

[Level 80, 13-star BOSS: Abyss Overlord · Zero]

Its power level was identical to the previous Abyss Overlord · Blood Demon.

The stats were nearly the same: 50,000 attack power, 30,000 defense power, and 80 million HP.

However, without the 70% damage reduction buff, dealing with this Abyss Overlord became much simpler.

The skill damage of the Armageddon Black Dragon remained stable at around 1.3 million per hit.

By equipping the Abyss Set and activating the [Breath of the Abyss] skill, which provided a 200% damage boost when at full HP, the Black Dragon's single-target skill damage had now reached the astonishing height of 2 million.

It wasn't until now that Zhang Yue suddenly realized: the Breath of the Abyss skill from the Abyss Set was surprisingly effective when applied to his "younger son," the Armageddon Black Dragon.

Thanks to Zhang Yue's continuous support through the Void Shield, the Black Dragon essentially never lost HP and could consistently stay at full health, thus maintaining the full 200% damage boost from Breath of the Abyss.

Zhang Yue almost felt reluctant to take the power away from the Black Dragon.

Of course, even if he felt that way, the power still had to be reclaimed.

Just look at how overpowered this Armageddon Black Dragon had become! Its damage was nearly four times that of Zhang Yue himself.

This needed nerfing—absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, Zhang Yue feared not only the Skeleton King usurping him but also the Armageddon Black Dragon turning against him in the future.

None of his "sons" could give him peace of mind.

Maybe the next one should be a "daughter."

They say daughters are their father's little sweethearts. Hopefully, when the time comes, Cherry will make his life easier.

In addition to skill damage reaching heights of 2 million, and up to 5 million with critical hits, the Black Dragon's normal attack damage wasn't low either.

With the special effect boosting its normal attacks by 100% critical hit rate and 100% critical damage, combined with the Abyss Set's 100% critical hit rate and 80% critical damage, the Black Dragon's normal attacks consistently dealt 1.1 million+ critical damage to the Abyss Sovereign, which only had 60% critical resistance.

By comparison, Zhang Yue looked at his own average damage of just 600,000+ and couldn't help but exclaim, "Trash!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the Black Dragon suddenly turned its head and glanced at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue: "I wasn't talking about you…"

With 50% of its damage converted into a Void Shield on itself, the Black Dragon could withstand the Abyss Sovereign's output without any issues.

In less than 30 seconds...

"[ing~ Congratulations, player [Zero], on killing the World BOSS [Abyss Sovereign · Zero] and clearing the World 13 BOSS]

SWISH! SWISH!

Two portals appeared before Zhang Yue.

One led back to the World Eastern Nation, while the other led to the World 14.

Just as Zhang Yue was about to step into the World 14, a message suddenly popped up in the guild chat.

Liyue: ["@Zhang Yue, Guild Leader, the Eastern Nation players have shown up! They're just outside the East Gate of Energy City in the World 12!"]

Zhang Yue: ["Hold them off, don't kill them. Wait for me to arrive."]

Wu Haotian: ["Too late, you should've said so earlier. Now there's only one left…"]

Zhang Yue immediately returned to the safe zone of the World 13 and switched to the World 12.

———

Meanwhile, in the World 12, Locusts Calamity.

Outside the East Gate of Energy City in the safe zone...

A few dozen members of the Heavens Hall guild had surrounded a Eastern Nation player like a pack of hungry wolves encircling a lamb.

Wu Haotian rested his spear on his shoulder, sizing up the Eastern Nation knight [Yamadeh] with disdain. "Tell me, with garbage like you, how dare you provoke the grandfathers of Heavens Hall?"

Even though all his teammates had been slaughtered, Yamadeh maintained an arrogant demeanor: "Baka ya…"

SLAP!

Before he could finish his words, the mage Star Sparks Fire teleported in front of him and slapped him across the face. "Baka your ass! Who gave you the face? Is this your house?"

Relying on the fact that the Dragon Nation players didn't have a Mark of Death, meaning he could revive in Eastern Nation even if killed, Yamadeh shouted fearlessly, "Baka! The brave warriors of the Great Eastern Nation will never bow to you Dragon Nation pigs. Kill me if you dare! Even if you do, I'll just come back and slaughter all of you Dragon Nation pigs again!"

"Haha! Hahahaha!" Yamadeh's maniacal laughter was so infuriating that people could barely restrain themselves from killing him.

Just as everyone was about to make their move, Zhang Yue suddenly used Shifting Shadows and appeared in the center of the crowd.

Facing the Dragon Nation's newly crowned top player, Zero, Yamadeh finally felt a sliver of inexplicable fear.

Apparently, Zhang Yue's feat of killing 300,000 Eastern Nation players nearly single-handedly wiping out the entire Eastern Nation force still haunted the minds of every Eastern Nation player to this day.

Glaring at Zhang Yue, Yamadeh suppressed his fear and laughed loudly again. "I know you want to kill me, but you can't. You don't have a Mark of Death, so you can't truly kill me."

"Without spatial rifts, you Dragon Nation players can't reach Eastern Nation either. You're destined to remain our prey—slaughtered and toyed with whenever we please."

"Hahaha! Using your Dragon Nation phrase: I love how you can't stand me but can't do anything about it."

Zhang Yue ignored him and walked straight past him toward the spatial rift connecting Eastern Nation and the Dragon Nation.

Seeing Zhang Yue staring at the rift, Yamadeh sneered, "You idiot! Don't think you can use this rift to enter Eastern Nation. Only I can use it. You Dragon Nation pigs can't!"

Zhang Yue studied the rift briefly, then pointed at Yamadeh and instructed his guildmates, "Make sure he doesn't die before I come back."

Everyone was confused.

"What does that mean? Why are we protecting this guy?"

"Come back? Guild Leader, where are you going?"

While everyone was baffled, Zhang Yue opened his inventory, unequipped the Ring of Thunder, and replaced it with the Heart of the Ocean.

The next moment, he activated the item skill.

Tidal Surge!

SPLASH!

A massive wave, half a meter high and over a thousand meters in diameter, suddenly spread out around Zhang Yue.

One Night Stand was startled and grabbed the nearby Li Yue, shouting, "Holy crap! It's flooding! So much water!"

Liyue, annoyed, retorted, "Why are you grabbing me? Are you crazy?"

"It's flooding! So much water!"

"Flood your sister! Let go! Get lost!!"

The scene grew chaotic.

When Lin Tian and the others regained their composure, they realized Zhang Yue had disappeared.

"Where's the Guild Leader?"

"He was here just a moment ago! Where'd he go?"

As everyone searched in confusion, a bizarre sight unfolded.

The water on the ground began converging into the spatial rift…
