For S., with his heart and brain shattered, survival was impossible.
But for [Betrayal], that might not be the case.
[Deception] could even bring a dead person back to life for a month. Even if [Betrayal] couldn't achieve that level, a body under his control couldn't be that fragile!
With this realization, John instinctively looked at Lily.
With [Betrayal] intentionally protecting his host, the only person capable of delivering a large-scale, decisive blow, especially with Exiled Immortal exhausted, was Lily!
With almost everyone else out of commission, John had no ti to hesitate!
"Lily! Use your strongest attack to destroy [Betrayal]'s host!"
"Host?"
Lily paused, her gaze locking onto S.'s remains. She imdiately understood, and her staff burst into a blinding light!
"[Astreos, Lord of the Cold Stars, Sovereign of the Infinite Sky, as your faithful follower, I, Lily, implore you once again, smite my enemy with the Wrath of the Stars!]"
"[Fall!]"
From above the clouds, a celestial body descended!
The star tore through the atmosphere, illuminating the entire sky.
Every player in this world noticed this phenonon and was stunned!
It was the descent of a star, the wrath of the God of Stars, Astreos!
"Damn it!"
[Betrayal] looked up, seeing the descending star covering the entire sky.
The sense of impending death surged through him!
He had already played his trump card to counter Exiled Immortal's storm.
The fading flas around him were proof that he couldn't maintain the white-blue flas anymore!
There was no way he could withstand this attack!
[Betrayal] couldn't believe that he was losing in this manner to John, who had died at his hands in the previous life!
Even without the powers of [Deception] and [Lust], John had managed to beco a Demigod tier combatant in the past.
But now?
John hadn't even reached the pinnacle that a mortal could achieve, and yet he was winning?
No! It wasn't over yet!
Watching the descending star, [Betrayal] did not choose to flee.
Instead, he advanced, channeling all his remaining flas into a black-purple flaming spear, which he hurled at the star with all his might!
However...
The almost depleted [Betrayal] could not create the miracle he hoped for.
The spear was obliterated the mont it touched the star.
Realizing this, [Betrayal] knew that the mont his host was crushed, he would lose all his power.
His authority was already in John's grasp.
But...
"Don't celebrate too soon, John. We are rely pawns. The real threat has yet to arrive. The seven are coming!"
"What seven? Explain yourself!"
"You will see them soon. They are the true force behind the apocalypse. Believe ." [Betrayal] closed his eyes, calmly awaiting his end.
"I'll be waiting for you in the abyss, for our next encounter!"
Boom!
The star fell, turning the world before them into dust!
The explosion echoed throughout the world, the intense shockwave reaching every corner of this realm.
Many earth dragons hidden beneath the surface were shattered by the tremors, causing a surge in dragon hunt points, and with that, the battle finally ca to an end.
This battle was nothing short of brutal!
Exiled Immortal, Lily, and Qing were almost completely incapacitated, while Helena, Old Mac, Elaria, and John himself could barely contribute against [Betrayal].
It was thanks to Exiled Immortal and Lily that they managed to turn the tide!
Of course, Helena's keen judgnt also played a significant role.
As the explosion's echoes gradually faded, John collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, clearly at his limit.
Casting three summoning spells had drained John's energy.
If he could, he'd love nothing more than to sleep.
But there was sothing more important to do first.
After a while, John finally cald his breathing and walked towards the crater created by the star's impact.
At the bottom of the pit, a glowing orb floated in the air.
John reached out, and the orb seed to respond to his call, flying towards him and rging into his fingertip.
At that mont, a dialog box appeared before John's eyes.
"[Congratulations! You have unlocked a new class—Transgression]"
"[Trickster level has increased to 35! New skills unlocked, please visit the skill tree to learn!]"
"[Debauchery level has increased to 24! New skills unlocked, please visit the skill tree to learn!]"
"[Player level has increased to 60! Please complete your second class selection as soon as possible!]"
"Finally! It's over..."
After everything was done, John blacked out and lost consciousness.
...
When John opened his eyes again, the sky had returned to its blood-red hue.
Elaria and the others were sitting around him.
Seeing him awake, they imdiately approached.
"John! Are you okay?"
Elaria hugged John, and seeing this, Helena and Lily felt a twinge of jealousy.
"I'm fine, just exhausted."
John shook his head and struggled to sit up. "How long was I out?"
"About forty hours. I just woke up not long ago myself."
Exiled Immortal rubbed his temples, the lingering fogginess in his head reminiscent of a hangover.
After that battle, Lily and Exiled Immortal also passed out.
Lily woke up first, then Exiled Immortal, and finally John.
"Forty hours... doesn't that an there's not much ti left in the dragon hunt event?"
"Uh, you don't need to worry about that. We've already secured the victory."
Qing shrugged and showed John the event leaderboard.
Their team had over four thousand dragon hunt points, far surpassing the second-place team, whose total points didn't even co close to half of theirs.
Seeing this, John finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tension easing.
"That's good..."
"Johnny, there are so things you need to tell us now, right?" Lily bit her lip, hesitating slightly. "The enemy we faced this ti was clearly beyond the scope of any monster, and what he said keeps bothering ..."
"Yeah, that strange man said we are [Apostles] blessed by the [Gods], and ntioned [Deception] and [Lust]. What's going on?"
eting Helena's gaze, John instinctively lowered his head.
With everything that happened, it was impossible for John to keep hiding the truth.
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, he decided to take this opportunity to co clean.
With a deep breath, John began, "I'll tell you everything. If you have any questions, feel free to interrupt .
"Actually, this is my second ti playing this ga. In my previous life, I lived in the ga world for two years, until the appearance of the [Abyss] completely changed everything."
"The powerful [Apostles] nearly wiped out the few remaining survivors. Those who stayed alive lived in constant fear. It was during this ti that [Betrayal] and [Lust] infiltrated the ga world, using my companions as hosts to kill and Lily.
"I thought my two years of struggle had ended, but unexpectedly, an item I possessed reversed ti to two years before, back to when it all hadn't started yet."
John took a deep breath, the painful mories resurfacing.
"So... that's why you know everything that's about to happen?" Helena's long-standing doubts were finally answered by John's explanation.
"Yes, because of my two years of mories from the previous life, I know almost everything about this ga world. However, the early awakening of the [Apostles] was beyond my expectations. Elaria, our eting wasn't part of my plan; it was purely accidental."
"Uh... I have a question." Qing suddenly spoke up, interrupting John.
"So, in the previous life, I got killed off early and logged out?"
