540: Chapter 588 Unstoppable Gods! Unstoppable Buddhas!
However, before the surrounding players could finish being shocked, the [Death Announcement] rang out once more.
Another Mercury State Race player had died.
The Mercury State Race players' hearts jolted with fear.
Who was it?
They looked around but didn't see any companion being killed.
Right at that moment, a bold, unrestrained, and boastful roar of laughter erupted: "Gwahahaha! Behold, the Invincible Hulking One!!"
Only then did the Mercury State Race players suddenly remember there was another companion fighting the Parrot.
Which meant that companion was dead too? Killed by the Parrot.
The Mercury State Race players whirled their heads to look and saw Jingang standing by the edge of the pit, wings akimbo, face filled with pride.
But soon, that pride was shattered by Jingang himself.
"Damn it, this tired out This Muscle Man.
If this goes on, This Muscle Man will be completely spent."
He had reached his limit. If his opponent hadn't died, he would have been finished.
Fortunately, there was the [Ice Age] skill Shared by An Ke, which allowed him to defeat that Mercury State Race player.
Otherwise, even with his strength, he would have had a hard time defeating the opponent even unto death.
Oh! Right! There was another reason: Three Hairs.
Three Hairs, clinging to Jingang's head, giggled and said, "Weak!
Little Mouse here isn't tired at all."
Jingang retorted irritably, "This Muscle Man is the one doing all the moving!!
You're just a tool at best!!"
Three Hairs was taken aback. He didn't quite understand, but he definitely felt insulted.
Jingang and Three Hairs chattered away, but the atmosphere among the Mercury State Race was oppressive.
Another companion dead. The losses had already exceeded their expectations.
They originally thought this Human Player was too foolish, too reckless. Without the help of the Fungus Race and the Thousand Changes Race, their Mercury State Race could take down An Ke.
But they never expected to lose a full four people.
Don't think four is a small number. They originally only had 23 people in total.
Now only 18 remained, because P2 was controlled by A Giao, which meant they had lost his combat power.
With no way to replenish players, every loss weakened their overall strength.
Losing two or three more people would likely drop their comprehensive strength rating from C-class to D-class.
The 18 Mercury State Race players gathered together, no longer continuing their assault on An Ke's group.
They were now extremely wary in their hearts.
"We were misled by the [Game]. The humans' strength isn't as poor as we imagined."
"Most likely, this Human Player deliberately operated this way."
"He gave the vast majority of powerful abilities to his pets. These pets aren't players, so that's why the Blue Star Civilization's comprehensive strength rating is so low."
"That must be it... this guy is playing the pig to eat the tiger."
"..."
The 18 Mercury State Race players all reached the same consensus.
They believed An Ke operated like a beast tamer, boosting his pets' strength without boosting his own. He only needed to be able to escape and survive.
This way, the comprehensive strength rating would be very low, causing enemies to misjudge and underestimate.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Aman made a questioning sound.
"You dare question our boss's strength?"
Leopard Mom tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Sorry! You're wrong.
The most powerful person among us is our Benefactor."
The Mercury State Race players turned a deaf ear. Just because you say An Ke is powerful, he is?
The resources obtainable within the [Game] are limited.
If someone is powerful, others must necessarily be weak.
Especially since the Blue Star Civilization has only just entered the third stage, the resources they can obtain are even more limited.
If the pets are this powerful, what does An Ke use to become strong?
Forget it... The Mercury State Race players couldn't be bothered to think about it.
Their current thought was simple: leave this place.
After all, they now had a flag in hand, which at least guaranteed they could survive the purge three days later.
The Mercury State Race players didn't want to lose any more members.
They exchanged glances, then without further hesitation, stepped onto their "surfboards" intending to leave.
Not far away, An Ke smiled.
"Since you accepted the battle, now you want to leave?"
"Can you escape?"
As the words fell, An Ke's figure vanished, directly appearing in front of a Mercury State Race player.
That Mercury State Race player, seeing An Ke blocking his path, sneered, "A beast tamer like you personally taking action, aren't you afraid of death?"
After speaking, he let out a low shout, intending to use his ability.
But An Ke was even faster. In the blink of an eye, his fist instantly blasted into the Mercury State Race player's body.
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion sounded. This punch directly blasted the Mercury State Race player apart, splattering like liquid in all directions.
"When did I ever say I was a beast tamer?"
The [Death Announcement] rang out, announcing the death of this Mercury State Race player.
Everything happened so suddenly that the surrounding Mercury State Race players were all stunned.
Outside, in the live broadcast room, the Mercury State Race viewers erupted.
"Why is this happening?"
"So, so fast..."
"Couldn't see it clearly at all. His speed is like teleportation!"
"It doesn't make sense! Even if his speed is fast, so what? Pure physical attacks have no effect on us Mercury State Race."
"Why can this Human Player's punch kill our player?"
The Mercury State Race audience was utterly perplexed, feeling an inexplicable dread in their hearts.
Dreadful too were the Mercury State Race players within the game.
They realized their assumptions were wrong again.
What those human-raised animals said wasn't wrong at all. Their human master was the strongest.
Indeed! The Mercury State Race possesses powerful physical immunity.
But this immunity is not infinite.
It's like a lake. If you slash it with a knife, you cause no damage to the lake's surface.
But what if you hit it with a high-yield missile?
Or a nuclear bomb?
Could the lake still exist?
Obviously not.
And now, An Ke was precisely such a nuclear bomb.
And one with an unknown yield at that.
"Run!! Run now!!"
"Shit! The [Game] really made an error!"
"Damn this garbage, it can even mess this up."
An Ke, this nuclear bomb, has a destruction power rating of F-class?
Now, the Mercury State Race players just wanted to say one thing: F-class my ass! We've been completely screwed over by the game.
An Ke is a walking nuclear bomb through and through!
The Mercury State Race players no longer had any other thoughts. Now they had only one idea: run.
And at this moment, a red aura gradually enveloped An Ke's body.
His calm expression made him look like a god of slaughter.
A god slayer, a Buddha slayer.
This was the [Berserk] ability, capable of increasing attributes like attack and speed by tenfold.
Coupled with another [Speed Boost], increasing speed by another tenfold.
In an instant, An Ke arrived before another Mercury State Race player.
Under the latter's gaze of despair and terror, he threw a punch.
An ordinary punch, no ability, pure physical impact.
The [Death Announcement] sounded again...
