In this sudden turn of events, Ye Tian naturally didn’t hesitate and turned to attack the Abyss Offspring.
His damage output was a little low, but he compensated by attacking with high frequency.
Observing this, players including Hand of God and Green Plum Brews Wine also turned back to join the assault.
However, their resulting damage dropped another notch. Despite their fierce maneuvers, if one were to look at the actual numbers, it was all -1, -1.
The Abyss Offspring, being ganged up on, seed rather pitiful. At first glance, it appeared they were closing in on victory, but Wang Linchi shrewdly sensed that sothing was amiss.
Empowered by two-fifths of the temporary Protagonist’s Aura, Wang Linchi gained so of a protagonist’s intuition. Coupled with his own luck, Blessing, and similar advantages, he could barely match an actual protagonist.
So he suspected that the Abyss Offspring might be putting on an act.
However, he couldn’t find any clues, and stopping the attack now was impossible, as Ye Tian and the others grew more vigorous with each strike.
More importantly, everything seed to be developing in a positive direction, as the Abyss Offspring’s aura grew increasingly Weak.
Even if Wang Linchi spoke up, others wouldn’t necessarily believe him.
Turning his head, Wang Linchi then noticed a huge problem: the Abyssal Demons and Demonized Creatures, which had been present all along, had vanished at so unknown point.
Only a large pool of strange flesh and blood remained on the ground. More importantly, the Abyssal Gap was still open.
"Holy shit, that thing devoured all the monsters!" Wang Linchi exclaid.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian subconsciously retreated, his ingrained vigilance flaring instantly.
BOOM.
The Abyss Offspring’s head exploded, splattering its contents everywhere. Players who were too close died on the spot. A small figure erged.
"I can’t thank you enough. Without your attacks, I wouldn’t have been able to devour the Abyssal Source and advance further, allowing to transform into a more perfect demonic-vein form."
The Abyss Offspring now had more prominent draconic features, but he was still a Dragon Man, only one and a half ters tall, which looked rather peculiar.
However, the terrifying power contained within him was not to be underestimated.
"Oh? A Son of Destiny born in the current world. I wonder, compared to , the Abyss Offspring, whose Destiny is stronger?" The Abyss Offspring’s gaze fell upon Ye Tian; he could instantly recognize one of his own kind.
The difference was, he knew his own identity and could, to so extent, utilize his protagonist’s luck, unlike Ye Tian, who could only trigger it passively.
"If I kill you, birthing another Son of Destiny in this world would likely deal it a significant blow."
"Perfect. It will make up for my lost luck." The Abyss Offspring had barely finished speaking when he appeared before Ye Tian, his dragon claw about to gouge out Ye Tian’s heart.
Although ga characters had no specific weak points, they did have damage thresholds. After this move, even if Ye Tian had an HP-locking Passive Skill, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a second blow.
Fortunately, the Saint Master was also quick. In the blink of an eye, he charged, sending the Abyss Offspring flying.
"Ants! You and your master..."
Wang Linchi didn’t know what was wrong with this talkative Abyss Offspring. However, it didn’t matter to the Saint Master, who attacked incessantly, raining blows upon the Abyss Offspring like a storm.
Unfortunately, it didn’t have much effect; the opponent’s physical fortitude was truly extraordinary.
So, at this point, the Saint Master and Wang Linchi switched to inflicting negative status effects.
A variety of negative status effects repeatedly intertwined, restructured, and fused within the Abyss Offspring, eventually transforming into entirely new and distinct negative status effects that ford a continuous cycle.
If they couldn’t beat him, they would at least make him miserable.
After a large number of negative status effects detonated, the Abyss Offspring’s strength visibly declined.
"HUFF... Damn it! Rule-type abilities! How could re ants like you possess..." The Abyss Offspring gasped heavily.
It was true he was born with considerable strength, but that couldn’t hide the fact that he had just been born. Even with the corresponding legacy, he couldn’t imdiately digest it and convert it into combat power.
The Abyss Offspring looked fearfully at Wang Linchi. Just a mont ago, he had mistaken Wang Linchi for a re thief. However, when he had moved against him, he saw the escalating luck surrounding Wang Linchi, a quantity that, to his surprise, even surpassed his own and that of the current world’s Son of Destiny.
Against two opponents, he found himself suppressed.
Wang Linchi dared to be so rash because he knew this. Just monts ago, the Hidden Dragon status granted to him by the Saint Master had evolved once more, into the True Dragon status.
At this mont, he seed more of a protagonist than the other two.
"I’ll let you go this ti. Next ti, it won’t be so..." The Abyss Offspring wanted to flee. As a protagonist aware of his own Fate, he naturally understood how terrifying Wang Linchi’s luck was. If he attacked, he would surely lose; Wang Linchi possessed abilities like turning misfortune into blessing and transforming adversity into good fortune.
If it were only a single source of luck, the Abyss Offspring wouldn’t necessarily be afraid. However, Wang Linchi not only possessed the luck of the current world but had also plundered his abyssal luck, making him a bearer of Dual Fate.
He still couldn’t comprehend how, as an Abyss Offspring, one-fifth of his abyssal luck could have been snatched away by so ant that crawled out of nowhere.
If it had been the current world’s Son of Destiny, that would have been sowhat reasonable. But the current situation reeked of irrationality, so he wanted to run.
As a result, before he could finish speaking, he was punched by the Saint Master, causing his composure to shatter.
"Die!!!"
The power of the Abyss penetrated the Saint Master’s skull, but it had no effect on him. He was still able to get close and continue attacking.
The Saint Master was not a living creature. A missing head ant nothing; it could still move even if only a finger remained.
Witnessing this, the Abyss Offspring’s jaw dropped to its limit, and he spewed forth a terrifying radiance that completely engulfed the Saint Master.
Wang Linchi and Ye Tian saw this and dodged quickly; otherwise, they would have been caught in it.
Several players who were too slow to react were partially hit. The radiance swiftly eroded their bodies like a contaminant, eventually reducing them to black crystalline matter.
"Hahaha, you thought you could fight? Co on then!" The Abyss Offspring laughed arrogantly. Then, his gaze fell on Ye Tian and Wang Linchi. "Without this servant, let’s see what you can... how... what?"
He hadn’t even been arrogant for three seconds when another Saint Master materialized before Wang Linchi.
The Saint Master was like leeks in a field; Wang Linchi could make another one sprout just by pouring in so spiritual power. His own recovery ability was extrely strong, so he didn’t need to worry about running out of spiritual power.
"Huh? A summoned creature? Not a pet?" Ye Tian was also bewildered. What’s the difference between this and using a plug-in?
Once a pet dies, it’s dead for good. That’s unlike summoned creatures, which are a type of skill and can be resummoned even after dying. Given the Saint Master’s power, he had always assud it was a pet. Most summoned creatures have ti limits or depend on the player’s attributes.
"No, I never said it was a pet," Wang Linchi replied, having already directed the Saint Master to attack the Abyss Offspring, before elaborating for Ye Tian.
"Are you sure? Don’t tell it changed species again," Ye Tian grumbled.
anwhile, the Abyss Offspring, not even ten minutes old, had completely lost it.
He felt he was definitely being targeted. Otherwise, how could he be in such a situation? Even though the advantage was his, he felt incredibly frustrated.
"The species definitely won’t change. By the way, don’t you think this Abyss Offspring is like a giant infant, a bit slow on the uptake?" Wang Linchi asked.
Ye Tian sighed. "It’s not ’like’ an infant; it *is* an infant. It’s not even an hour old."
"Terrifying," Wang Linchi uttered. He saw that as the Abyss Offspring battled the Saint Master, its combat experience and personal wisdom were constantly improving, becoming more and more seasoned. It had progressed from an infant to the equivalent of an eight-year-old in less than ten minutes.
This Growth rate... if he escapes, he’ll definitely be a huge crisis in the future.
Wang Linchi had taken one-fifth of his protagonist’s luck. This was no different from a mortal feud; it was an absolute fight to the death between them.
So, Wang Linchi’s first thought was to eliminate this threat to prevent future trouble.
"Other than the Saint Master and you, the rest of us probably can’t inflict enough damage on the Abyss Offspring. Trying to kill him will be difficult," Ye Tian said, his eyes darting around.
"There’s still a chance. I’ll hold off the Abyss Offspring; you guys go and occupy Wanxuan City."
"He’s eaten all the monsters, and the Abyssal Gap can’t spawn any more. This is a golden opportunity!" Wang Linchi said imdiately.
This was not the ti for a head-on confrontation. There was still ti. As long as the Ga System’s power descended, he didn’t believe this newly born Abyss Offspring would have the strength to resist. A fully developed Abyss Offspring might stand a chance, but not this one, not now.
