Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The God of Corruption’s Beloved

[Eye of Resume] activated!

[Name: Corrosive Slime King] (Pollution God’s Favored)

[Gender: Sexless]

[Professional Skills:

1. Corrosion and Corruption: Its body and secreted mucus possess extreme corrosive and contaminating properties. Everything in its path decays, and the land is turned into a dead zone.

2. Infinite Split: When shattered by physical or conventional Energy Attacks, it does not die. The fragments will rapidly absorb surrounding Energy (especially junk) to reform into more, smaller Corrosive Slimes.

3. Junk Devourer: Can rapidly recover from injuries and restore spent Energy by devouring any and all surrounding junk materials.

4. Undying Body (Power of the Beloved): Contains a trace of the God of Corruption’s blessing. As long as it is not attacked by a [Divine Power] of an equal or higher tier, it can be considered eternally indestructible.]

[Weaknesses: Divine Power]

After reading this utterly ridiculous stat panel,

Seraphina Sullivan just wanted to say one thing: "...An even more absurd, even more unreasonable creature has appeared!"

Hahaha!

It wasn’t that she had gone crazy, but that she was truly out of options.

These stats before her...

This wasn’t an enemy that could be handled by conventional means at all!

Infinite Split, Junk Devourer, and an almost unsolvable "Undying Body"!

’How are we supposed to fight this?’

’And this is just a so-called "Beloved."’

’How terrifying must the "God of Corruption" behind it be?’

Faced with this sudden, cataclysmic disaster and a death difficulty of Level 5,

Seraphina Sullivan’s mind raced, thinking about one thing: how to survive the three hours until the collapse.

At that moment, the crowds, whether they were Native People or Players, were mostly staring dumbfounded at the gigantic, mountain-like yellow mass descending from the sky.

Every face was a mask of confusion and terror.

The world’s sudden transformation was beyond their comprehension.

"What... What in the world is that thing?! Why did the Sky-Hole crack open?! How could a monster like that come out of it?!"

Even the usually fierce Nelly Nash’s voice was trembling. Her fingers, gripping the neck of her guitar, were white-knuckled from the force of her grip, and she was completely at a loss.

Seraphina Sullivan instantly thought of Yana Yates and her companion, who had disappeared earlier, and a chill shot up her spine.

’Could it have been them... Did they summon this thing?!’

Seraphina didn’t know what the two of them had done, but the instance’s strange turn of events and the descent of this so-called "Divine Power" were definitely connected to them!

But now was not the time to investigate the cause!

’Flee!’

’I have to get out of here right now!’

’The farther, the better!’

Three hours! She only had three hours to escape!

And the entire instance world had clearly begun to completely collapse.

She looked toward the other Sky-Holes in the distance, and her heart nearly stopped beating.

A similar, terrifying transformation was happening at every single Sky-Hole.

They were no longer spewing junk. Instead, like erupting volcanoes, they were spewing out dark yellow Slimes of various sizes!

Like a plague, they were erupting simultaneously from every node in the world!

’They’re... they’re all split-off parts of the Corrosive Slime King?! Just how big is the Corrosive Slime King’s main body?! Does it plan to... corrode and devour the entire world?!’

A despairing thought surfaced in Seraphina Sullivan’s mind.

And everything before her seemed to be confirming that very thought!

Just then, the Native People’s assessment supervisor seemed to be trying to carry out his duties.

He had misjudged the enormous Corrosive Slime King as some new, exceptionally large type of Junk Monster.

The tall, brawny man behind him unhesitatingly threw his pair of precious [Space Transmission Rings], attempting to teleport the behemoth to a desolate area far away from the crowd.

The silver rings flew toward the King of Slimes, trailing arcs of energy light. However, the instant they touched the surface of the yellow mucus flowing over its body—

TSSSSSS—PLOP!

It was like a red-hot iron being plunged into ice water, but with a grating sound of metal being corroded!

The priceless pair of Space Transmission Rings didn’t even have time to open a Space Gate.

Right before everyone’s eyes, they were rapidly corroded and dissolved by the mucus, turning into a few wisps of green smoke and a small puddle of tarnished metal residue that fell from the sky!

"No—!! My Space Teleportation Bracelet!!!"

The brawny man let out a heart-wrenching, bloodcurdling scream.

It wasn’t just the loss of a weapon; it was a vital tool he depended on for survival!

Seraphina’s heart pounded as she watched. ’Damn it! It can even corrode Space Transmission items instantly! Now it won’t be so easy to escape via teleportation!’

BOOM—!!!

The earth trembled violently, as if a powerful earthquake had struck.

The mountain-like Corrosive Slime King had finally, fully descended to the ground.

Where its massive, gelatinous body landed, the ground wasn’t smashed into a crater. Instead, as if doused in strong acid, it rapidly softened, caved in, and was assimilated into an ever-expanding, bubbling swamp of corrosion.

"A new type of Junk Monster? Looks pretty tough!"

Nelly Nash, who had just received her [Purification Set], was perhaps filled with false confidence from her new equipment.

Or perhaps the desperate situation had brought out her savage nature. In any case, she didn’t choose to run.

Instead, she slipped on the white coat of her Purification Set, tightened her grip on her modified guitar, and a smile mixed with madness spread across her face.

"Don’t worry! I’ll be even stronger with my new gear! Guitar Sonic Wave Final Form—Death Tide!!"

"Hey, wait a second!"

Seraphina Sullivan realized what Nelly was about to do and immediately shouted to stop her, but it was too late!

Nelly Nash used all her strength to strike the strings that carried her final reserve of power!

VWWWOOOM—BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

A black sonic wave—thicker, more solid, and more saturated with destructive energy than any before it—surged out from the guitar like a tsunami.

With a shriek that could tear anything apart, it slammed viciously into the massive Corrosive Slime King in the distance!

The attack did, in fact, hit its mark!

It even blasted a huge hole in the King of Slimes’ massive body, sending countless dark yellow gelatinous chunks flying everywhere!

However, it was all for nothing!

Just as the information panel had shown, the Infinite Split began.

The scattered gelatinous chunks began to squirm and morph in the air and on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into thousands upon thousands of smaller Slimes of varying sizes, all emitting the same corrosive Aura!

What was even more horrifying was that the force of the explosion sent countless viscous, corrosive Slime fragments raining down like a torrential downpour on top of Nelly Nash and the crowd around her!

The crazed smile on Nelly Nash’s face instantly froze. She seemed to finally realize something was wrong and instinctively tried to activate the protective power of her Purification Set.

The white coat did indeed light up with a faint halo of Purification.

But it was completely useless!
