Chapter 278 I'm very disappointed in you!
Chapter 278 I'm very disappointed in you!
The oppressive force descending from the heavens was not a physical pressure, but an absolute suppression that reached the very essence of the soul.
It is formless and intangible, yet heavier than a towering mountain.
It was cold and lifeless, filled with the utter indifference of the superior beings towards the inferior beings.
It seemed to proclaim an eternal truth—before the monarch of death, all the dead are but dust.
hum!
The area outside the west gate of Qianguang City seemed to stand still.
Then, something truly astonishing happened that left all the players speechless.
"Click...click..."
The crisp sound of bones grinding together was particularly clear at this moment.
The red-turbaned skeleton, coveted by countless players and considered the "Undead General," threw away its bone knife and, facing a certain direction, slowly and stiffly knelt down.
It wasn't on one knee, but prostrating himself with his entire body on the ground, his skull buried deep in the soil, as if performing the most humble form of worship.
One, two, ten, hundreds...
Like a toppled domino, the chain reaction swept across the entire battlefield.
Those skeletal soldiers wielding broken spears, those ghostly figures drifting in mid-air, those undead knights brandishing scythes…
All the undead creatures, regardless of how fearless they had been before, seemed to hear an absolute command from the depths of their souls.
They threw down their weapons, gave up resistance, and knelt down in unison, all facing the same direction.
The dark mass created a scene that could only be described as a miracle.
The most shocking thing is the [Stitched Abomination] that is wreaking havoc among the players.
This behemoth, standing over five meters tall, had just slapped seven or eight players away, looking quite imposing.
But the moment that oppressive force descended, its massive body trembled violently, and the countless stitched faces on its body simultaneously revealed expressions of extreme terror.
It clumsily turned around to face that direction, its heavy knee slamming onto the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Immediately afterwards, it lay down completely, its huge head pressed tightly against the ground, trembling.
Like a pet dog that has done something wrong and is waiting for its owner to punish it.
The battlefield, which was previously chaotic and bustling with noise, is now only filled with the sound of the wind and the heavy, incredulous breathing of tens of thousands of players.
All eyes followed the direction in which the thousands of dead were worshipping, and slowly moved upwards.
high in the air.
A figure floated silently.
The black [Ink Abyss Star River Robe] fluttered slightly in the wind, with starlight swirling on it, as if a condensed night sky was draped over the body.
He didn't exude any earth-shattering aura; he simply stood there quietly, as if he had existed there since time immemorial.
But everyone present, whether players or NPCs, knew perfectly well that the terrifying pressure that made all spirits submit and the world lose its color originated from him.
Chen You!
"Fuck..."
One of the thief players had his mouth agape enough to fit a goose egg, and he even forgot to hold the dagger in his hand, which fell to the ground with a clatter.
The entire West Gate battlefield, with its ten thousand players, was completely silent.
After a brief silence, an uncontrollable gasp erupted from the crowd.
"The God of War has arrived!"
"It's Boss Chen You!"
"My God... what... what kind of power is this?"
They've seen experts instantly kill bosses before.
But when had they ever seen a scene where the entire Scourge army knelt down and surrendered?
What is this? A miracle?
Or is it... that this isn't a monster siege at all, but rather this big shot's private guard having a team-building activity?
Under the gaze of countless eyes filled with a mixture of shock, admiration, confusion, and fear, Chen You slowly landed in the center of the battlefield.
He looked around at the battlefield, which had fallen into absolute stillness because of him, and his brows furrowed even more deeply instead of relaxing.
He sighed softly; the sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Strange, that's not how you fight..."
This seemingly random statement left all the players stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Chen You launched yet another round of his "PUA" tactics.
"Look at you all, what kind of people are you?"
His voice was filled with a strong sense of disappointment and frustration, much like a department head who finally lost his temper after seeing the team's project turned into a complete mess.
"Tens of thousands of people fighting against a few thousand remnants, and it turned into a world war?"
"Have you no shame at all?"
"That Stitched Abomination, a level 40 elite, can slow down enemies in an area and spew venom, making it a natural tank and crowd control unit."
"Instead of focusing fire and taking it down quickly, you're just going around it because you think it's ugly?"
"It has the most experience! Experience, you understand? Is there a difference between good and bad experience?"
"And you guys too!" Chen You casually pointed to a berserker squad that had just been fighting someone.
"Did you carve the character '神' (god) on it? Why didn't you carve a QR code on it so that payment could only be made by scanning the code?"
The entire squad that was pointed at blushed bright red, wishing they could disappear into the ground.
"You guys are the most outrageous!" Chen You's gaze fell on the paladin's group.
"They spent ages studying a lame skeleton, even trying to talk to it?"
"It's a spirit, not your long-lost second uncle! Its leg is lame because it was squeezed in the spatial rift!"
"Was your head squeezed too?!"
The paladin felt as if an arrow had struck his chest with a "thud," and his face turned deathly pale.
Chen You shook his head in anguish, with an expression that said, "This is really too much for me."
"You still want the blueprints for the divine artifact? With your chaotic state, even the Undead General would be so terrified at the sight of this that he'd flee with a train in the dead of night!"
"It's afraid you'll fight over the spoils and end up leaving it stranded and embarrassed to death!"
Players: "..."
Although it sounds outrageous, upon closer inspection, it seems... quite possible.
Countless players lowered their heads in shame.
They were so overwhelmed by the words "artifact blueprints" that they completely forgot this was a team-based city defense activity.
Now that Chen You has pointed it out, they realize how foolish and ridiculous their previous behavior was.
"Now, it's all gone."
Chen You shrugged, his tone filled with disappointment.
"You were given the opportunity. But you were all useless."
At that moment, the players' dissatisfaction with being reprimanded vanished completely, replaced by endless regret and shame.
Yes, the big boss was clearly doing it for our own good, but we were blinded by greed and messed things up.
Seeing the regretful expressions on the players' faces, Chen You chuckled inwardly.
If you've fooled them enough, that's good.
"Alright, stop standing there."
He raised his hand and pointed to the army of undead kneeling motionless on the ground.
"Hurry up and clear out the monsters, are you leaving them for the New Year?"
