MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1690 1690: New Expansion - Dark Invasion

A forbidden spell with such a vast coverage area, let alone being a summoned magic, even a stone of the same volume would be enough to wreck the Brave Continent beyond recognition.

The Quan Zhen Sect is considered one of the top players in the game.

Describing the members of Quan Zhen as well-informed would not be an exaggeration; everyone has heard of the powerful NPCs with devastating destructive capabilities.

However, the most terrifying destructive power they had heard of before was that of the Black Dragon Ao Tian, who once obliterated Sky Dragon City with a single breath. Compared to this thing, Ao Tian was basically just a thick phlegm.

Such a terrifying force could hardly be attributed to anyone other than the system itself.

Because of this, while no one openly questioned Mu Zi Xian's words, they remained cautious.

After all, it had only been a year since <<Rebirth>> was launched, and for the system to summon a forbidden spell to obliterate the game continent, what kind of unreliable gaming company could pull off such a feat?

...

However, just as everyone was astonished by Mu Zi Xian's words, the red dot in the sky expanded slightly, growing from the size of a grain of rice to that of a pinky nail. Others also vaguely saw a hint of its outline.

Even more terrifying was that the red glow was spreading towards the ground at a visibly rapid pace.

Players beneath the Twilight City also noticed the anomaly in the sky, stopping to point at the red light above.

In just a few minutes, the red glow expanded to the size of a palm, and those standing high up could clearly feel the wind pressure brought by the red light.

At the same time, the Dusk Lake outside Twilight City miraculously experienced a surge in water... The originally calm lake surged uncontrollably, instantly submerging players who were leveling up along the shore.

Monsters in the Dusk Forest outside the city seemed to sense something terrifying descending, and they began to scatter like headless flies.

The Dusk Forest was the main leveling area for players in Twilight City, and the rampaging monsters meant disaster for those leveling up.

In an instant, the Dusk Forest was filled with white light and rising dust; players leveling up had no idea what was happening and were trampled to death by nearby monsters.

The red light in the sky grew larger and larger, and everyone felt a sense of impending death; the members of Quan Zhen began to believe Mu Zi Xian's words.

The monsters rampaging, the water rising, and the aura of death all signaled signs of apocalypse.

As <<Rebirth>> is a fully immersive simulation game, the experience can only be described as realistic. With the end times approaching, players truly felt as if they were on the scene, and some timid players couldn't handle the terrifying atmosphere and chose to log off.

Of course, such a historic moment was destined to be recorded in history. Although most players felt fear in their hearts, they did not choose to exit the game but instead decided to stand with their main city to the end.

At this moment, the game forum was also in an uproar.

Not just Twilight City and the Brave Continent, but even players from other continents could see this terrifying red light.

Death is not scary; waiting for death is what's truly terrifying.

Now, the leveling zones were in chaos, all main cities had automatically shut their gates, and players crowded inside the city, turning on their recording systems to slowly document this historic moment.

An hour later, the red light expanded to dozens of meters... The dazzling brightness completely overshadowed the sun in the sky, and the entire game world turned a strange crimson under the light.

Finally, players could see the true form of the red light.

It turned out that the red light was a massive star, surrounded by blood-red flames, crashing down towards the ground at an alarming speed.

Everyone was crowded in the main city, while outside the city, floods and tsunamis struck...

Except for the expressions of anticipation on the players' faces, which differed from the despair of the NPCs, the current scene was strikingly similar to the promotional video for <<Rebirth>>.

Clearly, as Mu Zi Xian said, this star was a forbidden magic spell, and its name was straightforward and brutal: the World-Destroying Star.

According to historical records in the <<Rebirth>> world, the nightmare of the dark invasion began with the World-Destroying Star, meaning that the so-called forbidden spell now was actually the start of a brand new expansion.

"Buzz!!"

Just as everyone was staring at the red star in the sky, waiting to be crushed, suddenly, a light blue magical protective shield, resembling an eggshell, lit up above the main city.

At the same time, the magical towers in the Mage Academies of all main cities, which had never lit up before, began to glow, and the mentors of various professions appeared atop the magical towers, radiating various colors of light.

With the energy infusion from the mentors, the magical towers began to gather power.

As the red star neared the ground, the energy being gathered by the magical towers grew stronger, and two beams of light were propelled to their limits by their respective powers, blinding all the players.

Suddenly, as visibility was lost, the previously calm players panicked.

"Boom!!"

Just as everyone was in a state of panic, a thunderous sound erupted in their ears.

The magical towers from hundreds of main cities across the four continents of <<Rebirth>> simultaneously launched an attack against the red star in the sky.

...

According to the background records of <<Rebirth>>, after repelling the first dark invasion, the surviving mages dedicated their lives to erecting magical towers around the world, leaving a legacy with the sole purpose of resisting the dark invasion once more.

Although the World-Destroying Star was a terrifying forbidden spell, the power of the magical tower formations was equally formidable; the simultaneous activation of hundreds of main city magical towers hinted at immense power.

When everyone regained their vision from the blinding state, the World-Destroying Star had already been deflected from its original trajectory by the powerful force of the magical towers, leaving behind a bloody streak in the sky before vanishing without a trace.

Looking at the scarlet streak in the sky, all players were dumbfounded; the most beautiful words in the world turned out to be "it was just a false alarm."

While everyone was still reminiscing about the terrifying scene moments ago, a system announcement echoed in the sky.

<Announcement: With the joint efforts of the mentors, the forbidden spell "World-Destroying Star" has been collectively eliminated; however, the powerful magical energy caused dimensional chaos, resulting in spatial rifts randomly appearing in all main cities. The dark forces are slowly infiltrating the entire world, and strong Warriors must unite to defend our homeland.>

The system announcement was repeated three times... The meaning was clear: the world had narrowly escaped destruction, but the dark forces had already begun their invasion.

At the same time, all players who experienced this cataclysmic "CG animation" received a buff.

<Survivor of Apocalypse: You have experienced the end of the world, gained insights into life and death, and your understanding of power exceeds that of ordinary individuals. For thirty days, all earnings +100%.>
