375: Chapter 375 Watch My Dazzling Debut

"Anger me, and I'll send you straight to the afterlife!"

In the City Lord's Mansion hall, Sander suddenly spun around and slammed the basketball onto the floor, letting out a deafening roar.

The entire hall shook along with the impact.

Chen You glanced at the system time.

Only three minutes remained until the Guild BOSS battle.

"Alright, that's enough practice for today." Chen You stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes. "Remember this feeling. On tomorrow night's stage, you will be the one and only king."

Drenched in sweat and clutching the basketball, Sander's eyes were filled with fanatical zeal.

"Mentor, I feel like I can practice two hundred more times!"

"Too much of a good thing is a bad thing." Chen You composed his face, assuming the authority of a mentor.

"Art needs time to settle. What you need now is rest to let your muscles recover to their peak state."

Sander nodded heavily, taking the words to heart.

"I will keep your teachings etched in my heart, Mentor!"

Chen You didn't waste any more words and turned to walk out of the City Lord's Mansion.

He found a deserted corner and chose to enter the Guild Territory.

At this moment, the White Jade Capital was exceptionally quiet.

The guild's five thousand Garrison Army troops were currently assembled in ranks on the plaza, standing ready for battle.

Tonight was the first Guild BOSS battle since Immortal Summer's founding.

According to the rules, a BOSS would randomly descend upon each guild territory. Defeating it would grant a massive amount of Guild Honor and rare construction materials.

It was essentially a bonus event.

An airborne drone captured Chen You's figure and quickly approached.

"Is everyone ready?" Director Li Guoan's voice came through the drone.

"All ready." Chen You nodded and gave an OK gesture.

...

In the Supreme Tower, Chen You's main body exited the training room.

Hill was standing behind the counter, mechanically wiping something that looked like a cannon barrel.

Seeing Chen You, Hill's movements paused, and a flicker of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

"Distinguished supreme member, do you need to purchase anything? I have quite a few good items again."

Chen You walked to the counter and tapped on the surface.

"I'm about to go into a fight. I'm not buying anything, just came to see you."

The expression on Hill's face instantly dimmed.

"The Supreme Tower does not provide emotional companionship services."

"Don't be so cold." Chen You leaned against the counter. "We're old acquaintances. Say something nice, just to cheer me on."

Data streams flashed frantically in Hill's eyes.

She seemed to be working hard to retrieve the definition of 'something nice' from her language database.

A full ten seconds passed.

Hill stopped her wiping motion, folded her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly.

"I wish that in the upcoming battle, your body is pulverized beyond recognition, your soul remains undying, and your ashes are evenly scattered across every inch of the land to benefit all things."

Chen You's mouth twitched.

"You really need to update your vocabulary."

Hill straightened up, her tone devoid of emotion.

"Based on your behavioral style, this is the highest level of praise the system can match."

Chen You couldn't be bothered to argue with an AI.

He pulled out a chair and sat down, his gaze falling on the system panel.

One minute left on the countdown.

The skill icon for [Ruling the World] began to flash with iridescent light.

The countdown hit zero.

A system notification rang out across the entire server.

[World Announcement: The Guild BOSS Battle has officially begun!]

[World Announcement: All guild players, please prepare to face the challenge!]

Chen You's gaze sharpened, and he pressed his finger firmly on the [Ruling the World] icon.

[Warning: You are using the mythological-grade skill 'Ruling the World'.]

[Unknown authority intervention detected. Descent coordinates locked: Cosmic Origin Center Guild.]

[Descent beginning.]

Hum!

Inside the Supreme Tower, Chen You's main body instantly transformed into a blinding black light, shot into the sky, and vanished.

At the same time, in the [Cosmic Origin Center] guild territory.

The architectural style here was very peculiar, resembling giant translucent follicles stacked together.

In the center of the plaza, several thousand players were gathering lazily.

The appearance of these players was very strange.

They were less than 1.5 meters tall, with extraordinarily large heads that took up a third of their body proportions.

Most striking was the single eye in the center of their foreheads, as large as a fist and possessing a certain clarity.

The Big-Eye Tribe.

Their talent was spiritual power enhancement, but their physical constitution was weak.

"Everyone get ready! Spread out the formation!"

In the guild channel, the vice-guild leader 'Big-Eyed Cutie' was shouting commands at the top of her lungs.

"Shield warriors to the front! Oh, we don't have shield warriors... Those with high HP, stand in front!"

"Mages, prepare to cast! Priests, watch the health bars!"

"After we finish the BOSS tonight, everyone gets a ten-copper coin red envelope!"

The players below held staves and wooden sticks, chattering among themselves.

"Vice-guild leader, where's the guild leader? Why haven't we seen him?"

"The guild leader just gave birth and is still in confinement; she can't make it today."

"Oh, oh, that's really hard work then."

"Don't be nervous, everyone. The Guild BOSS is just a bonus monster. As long as you tag it for damage, there's a reward."

"Right, right, right. Just hit it a few times and it'll be fine."

A group of Big-Eye players stood around loosely; some were even exchanging tips on how to conjure fireballs.

To them, this was nothing more than a routine game event.

Finish it, take the rewards, and then log off to sleep.

The time jumped to 20:00.

Above the territory, the originally clear night sky suddenly darkened.

It wasn't the darkness of clouds blocking the sun, but an absolute darkness where even light was swallowed.

The noisy plaza instantly went silent.

All the Big-Eye players looked up simultaneously, their large single eyes reflecting the pitch-black firmament.

"What's going on? Did the scene change?"

"The BOSS is about to spawn, right? Today's entrance animation is quite fancy."

Just as the words were spoken.

Boom!

A dull, massive explosion erupted from high above the heavens.

Following that, the pitch-black sky was brutally torn open by a domineering force.

A void crack tens of thousands of meters long spanned across the horizon.

From within the crack, nine different colors of aurora gushed out like nine colorful waterfalls, pouring down from the heavens.

The auroras interlaced, bathing the entire plaza in a bizarre and phantasmagorical light.

"This... these special effects?"

Vice-guild leader Big-Eyed Cutie's mouth hung open, her single eye wide with shock.

"Isn't the Guild BOSS supposed to be just a cloud of black mist landing? Why does this look like the end of the world?"

Before they could react.

Heavy footsteps rang out from within the aurora.

Thump, thump, thump.

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to step directly onto everyone's heart with an irresistible rhythm.

Deep within the crack, a vast phantom of a starry sky emerged.

Beneath the starry sky was an endless plain of white bones.

Tens of thousands of undead warriors clad in tattered armor, holding rusted weapons, stood in formation on the plain like a tide.

They knelt on one knee simultaneously, their hollow eye sockets looking up at the sky as they let out silent roars.

The scene was too real—so real that the Big-Eye players could even smell the stench of rot and death permeating the air.

"Is... is this... a god descending?"

A Big-Eye mage asked stutteringly.

"This BOSS's entrance is way too grand, isn't it?"

In the next second.

The auroras converged in the center of the crack, condensing into a massive black throne.

Upon the throne sat a figure.
