"All the guild members of the manual Aite, the Mertori galaxy has brushed the demon god host, come on, the space beacon has been plugged in, just jump over directly after passing the star gate."

"Huh? By the way, if the later people fight the Demon God Host with us, will they still be able to do that SS-level mission easily? ”

"Damn, then they're too profitable, aren't we helping them work?"

"I don't think it's a big deal. Rewards for side quests are most likely distributed according to their contribution. Those of us who boarded the ship must have been the first to take the lead. ”

"I think so..."

The players who arrived at the heavy transport ship first were talking about it.

Around the transport fleet, more and more ships are rushing in by jumping, multiplying the pressure on the artificial angels.

The battle between the artificial angels and the player's fleet intensifies and soon turns into a colorful fireworks display.

A small player made a mouthful next to him:

"You say, the Unification Bureau will come over to help us fight the Demon God Host?"

As he asked, the voice channel fell silent for a few seconds.

"yes, this is not the territory of the Unification Bureau, and there is no need for the Unification Bureau to maintain order here. Even if there is a Demon God host, the Unification Bureau will not send a fleet to suppress the Demon God host. ”

"Then without the support of the Unification Bureau, would we still be able to defeat the Demon God Host?"

"We can use the three-ring magic temporarily, this should be the game to balance the gap between us and the demon god host."

"Can the newcomer also use the three-ring magic?"

"Yes, I asked, after they got close to the fleet, they also successfully activated the academy emblem, and they can use the three-ring magic just like us."

"Oh oh ~ then I understand. It should be deliberately designed by the dog planner. Later, when we meet the Demon God Host in the territory of the Unification Bureau, that helper is the Unification Bureau. If you encounter it outside of the territory of the Unified Bureau, the helper is the House Badge. That's what it means, right? ”

Belch... Not necessarily.

Li Nuo listened to the discussion of the players and shook his head slightly.

If the Demon God Cell was of little use to him, Li Nuo would not have appeared at the advent site of the Demon God Host every time to join in the fun, and the players could always rely on themselves.

Li Nuo glanced at the scene outside the ship.

There are so many player ships in space, not to mention tens of thousands of ships.

For battleships alone, Lino saw more than 300 of them.

Battleships were designed specifically to attack large targets.

The heavy cruise missiles they launch can create huge fireballs or thunderstorm fields with a diameter of more than two kilometers with a single shot.

The 11 artificial angels, who were still able to move freely, were now overwhelmed by the sea of fire.

By the time the player kills them 4 times in a row, the transport fleet's defenses are largely removed.

Li Nuo gave the newly arrived players permission to use the magic of the three rings, while waiting for the players to attack the Demon God host.

Even with the help of magic, the player's individual combat ability is hardly comparable to that of a battle frigate.

- This level of combat effectiveness is called "being able to avoid the attacks of artificial angels with a high success rate", and to put it mildly, it is "even the defense of artificial angels cannot be broken".

If you want to defeat the artificial angel head-on, you have to get on a battleship.

The mobility and defense of the demon god host are even greater than those of artificial angels, and the difficulty of the next battle can be imagined.

In Li Nuo's opinion, the best battle strategy is not to engage the Demon God host inside the ship, but to channel it into outer space and saturate the opponent with the ship's artillery and missiles.

The commander who is responsible for directing the player's battle probably also thought of this.

The players who were amused by the heavy transport ships are starting to withdraw from their ships.

They gave up their experience in killing armed crews and the loot at their fingertips, and scurried back the way they came, through the hole in the cargo hold.

In just a few moments, only the wailing armed crew of the noisy ship remained.

Li Nuo glanced at the laboratory, groaned, and left the ship as well.

In the lab, the demon god host is eating.

That's right, literally.

It uses the Dark Cleric and the armed crew as rations, and quickly replenishes its nutrition by devouring the other party and others.

The body of the demon god host is slightly thicker, but it is difficult to change its thin appearance, and it is obvious that devouring ordinary people cannot provide it with too much nutrition.

In addition, Li Nuo also found a small detail.

That is, the demon god host does not eat metal objects, and it cannot draw energy from the ship's energy pipe network.

Otherwise, why would the Demon God host leave the sparkling wires and just stare at the flesh and blood.

Lino's observations don't stop there.

He used blood magic to give a perspective of the demon god host, and saw the internal organs and bones of the other party.

In the process of eating, the demon god host has changed from one heart to three, and the fourth heart is growing.

He also had three more pairs of lungs.

The liver, kidneys, spleen and other organs all increased.

The most exaggerated thing is the stomach pouch, there are actually 9 demon god hosts in this thing, and the 10th is growing at this time.

All of these organs were crammed into the bamboo-like body, barely squeezing the torso to swell.

Almost as Li Nuo walked slowly to the cargo hold, the Demon God host's organs stopped growing, and the bone spurs on the surface of his body began to extend outward.

These bone spurs look sharp and hard, yet soft as cotton.

They encircled the limbs and torso of the demon host, spreading in circles and circles, gradually spreading over the entire body.

After a layer of bone armor is formed on the surface of the body, dense blood vessels protrude from the gaps in the bone armor, then fresh flesh and fascia, and finally a layer of dark skin.

Outside the ship, Li Nuo witnessed the change of the Demon God's host through the "Psychic Vision".

The Demon God host, who was still a few thin, has become a little giant with a height of five meters and a round waist.

On its body, the cloak and armor made of blood and flesh condensed fit closely to the body, and the cruelty and blood erupted.

Just take a look at it, and others can feel a chill.

Undoubtedly, this is a demon god host obsessed with killing, and it can also gain more power by eating the corpses of its enemies.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, his eyes moving slightly.

He knew which dark god had descended here.

Slayer Sethrot, a weak god.

This dark deity likes to bully the small with the big, and many enemies with one.

The players besieged his host, just as he wanted.

In a sense, if the players present suffer heavy casualties, the Demon God Host is likely to grow in strength by leaps and bounds.

To be more pessimistic, maybe after this battle, the Demon God host will be able to grow into a qualified container, allowing all the will of the slaughterer to descend into his body and transform into a real slaughterer.

"Is it really okay to let the players fight against the host of this dark god?"

Li Nuo couldn't help but think to himself.

He was very similar to asking a player if they had been wiped out when they were besieging the Demon God Host before.

If, where did the Demon God host that defeated the players go?

"Huh? By the way, I don't necessarily ask the player. ”

Li Nuo slapped his head and said that his reaction was a little sluggish.

Instead, he activated the magical clone he had left in the Lisom system and made contact with Captain Leighton, who was docking with him.

The interstellar communication was connected to Captain Leighton's negotiator, Doris.

Leno told her about the existence of a demon hosts in the Mertori Galaxy, and then asked for information about the demon host.

Doris has been instructed by the Bureau of Integration to do her best to meet Linuo's needs.

It didn't take long for an encrypted electronic document to appear in front of Li Nuo's magic clone.

"It has been one year and two months since the official launch of the game "Star Ocean". During this time, there were 347 invasions of the Demon God host in the territory of the Unification Bureau alone.

"When the game first launched, players weren't qualified to fly spaceships, so they missed the first 20 Daedric host invasions. But in each of the 327 subsequent incidents, at least 100,000 players rushed to the scene to join in the fun.

"Thanks to the Bureau's proper response and timely deployment of the security guards, not a single Demon God host has escaped sanctions so far."

Li Nuo nodded secretly, and said in his heart:

"In this way, in terms of dealing with the Demon God host, the security guards of the Unification Bureau are the main force, and the players can only be regarded as onlookers at most."

It's right to think about it.

The warships of the Unification Bureau, that are real high-standard military goods.

At best, the ships in the player's hands are a little stronger than those of the armed traders.

The gap between the two can be compared to an elephant and a cheetah.

What made Li Nuo care more was the strength of the Demon God host.

According to the statistics of the Unification Bureau, the weakest Demon God host destroyed 6 ships of the Unification Bureau, and the strongest destroyed three full security guards, and a total of 36 ships were forever turned into interstellar dust.

There is one fact that should not be overlooked:

The more players appear in the battle scene, the stronger the Demon God Host.

The Unification Bureau keenly observed that the Demon God host seemed to be able to grow rapidly by killing.

Li Nuo didn't have to think much to know that the demon god hosts that appeared in the past should be the containers of the slaughterers.

Flipping back a few pages of information and looking at the pictures at the scene, Li Nuo confirmed that his guess was not wrong.

The appearance, size, and fighting style of each demon god host all showed a high degree of uniformity, completely matching the slaughterer.

The Demon God Host that appeared in the transport fleet at the moment was no exception.

"Then it seems that the person behind the creation of the Demon God host every time is the Slayer Sethrot."

Li Nuo made up his mind about it.

He manipulates the magic clone and asks Doris if the Unification Bureau intends to eliminate the Daedric host in the Mertori system.

Doris's reply was not surprising, it was impossible for the Unification Bureau to send security guards into the territory of the Angel Business Consortium to help the other side clear the hidden dangers.

Therefore, there are only two forces that can really help players.

One is the Guardian Angel Group of the Angel Enterprise Consortium, and the other is Li Nuo.

If neither of these two moves, the player will inevitably face group annihilation.

Li Nuo cut off the connection with the magic clone and looked at the starry sky, but did not see the Guardian Angel Group.

This local defense force, which was supposed to appear as soon as the Demon God host appeared, did not come over to join in the fun.

It's as if the Angel Enterprise Consortium has completely given up on fighting the Demon God host.

The players were clearly being used as guns by the Angel Consortium, which was paid nothing more than a fleet of transports.

To go a little deeper, Li Nuo himself has become a tool of the angel business consortium.

"Oh, what a calculation, I've calculated everything."

Li Nuo laughed at himself, and secretly said that it was not too late for him to react at this time.

After a moment of contemplation, he raised his hand and sent out a side quest.

At the same time, all players received a message.

[You triggered the Sudden Mission: "Unqualified Tool Man"]

[Mission Details: The Guardian Angel Group, which was supposed to come to destroy the Demon God host, did not appear at the scene. All players, including you, have been exploited by the Angel Business Consortium. Without the help of the established Starfleet, you would have given your lives here for nothing. Now, it's time to get out of here and get rid of being a tool man. 】

[Reward: Stay away from the Mertori system until the Demon God host disappears or is defeated, and you will receive a "Magic Jump" magic scroll. 】

[Failure Penalty: None.] 】

[Special note: Returning to the Mertori system before the outcome of the battle is considered a mission failure.] 】

The players talked.

"Hey, yes, we're fighting here to the death, and the angel business consortium is watching from the sidelines, is this reasonable?"

"The Angel Enterprise Consortium dares to treat us as tools? I XXXX (elegant and easy-going dirty talk)! ”

"Let's go, let's go, brothers, don't kill this chicken feather boss."

Most players are still very persuasive.

But some players have crooked thoughts.

It is a fact that the Guardian Angel Group is watching from the sidelines.

But that's built on the fact that players are flocking to it.

If most of the players are picky, will the Guardian Angel Group appear?

At that time, won't you be able to follow the other party to fish in troubled waters, complete the task of "Clearing the Demon God Host", and make a windfall?

This idea quickly spread among the player community.

Some of the more astute players have come up with a solid solution.

They could have left the Mertori system first, leaving only a few stealth ships as spies.

After the Guardian Angel Group enters the game, the players will jump over to join the battle.

This set of plans can be attacked, and retreats can be defended.

If you advance, you will complete the task of "Eliminate the Demon God Host", and if you retreat, you will get the guaranteed reward of "Unqualified Tool Man", which is definitely a strategy for both worlds.

This scheme is passed between players via a chat system at breakneck speed.

After the major guilds ventilated, they approved this plan, and the player commander immediately ordered a retreat.

Moments later, a dense white light flashed around the transport fleet, and the players' ships jumped away.

There are only so many stealth frigates, hovering lonely in space.

They have become invisible one after another, and they don't know where to hide.

The corpses of artificial angels slowly wrirm in space, and the ships of the transport fleet come to a standstill, metal fragments drifting along the inertia.

There was silence in this cosmic space.

The armed crew was stunned for a while, unable to figure out why the dark fleet had left suddenly.

The other creature with a bewildered face is the Demon God Host.

As soon as this strange creature as tall as a rockery came to the hole in the heavy transport ship, it saw the players jumping away en masse.

Its dry, skinny face was full of astonishment, and it had the feeling that the duck in the pot was cooking and why it could still fly away.

Okay.

Players can go, aren't the armed crews still there?

The Daedric host stomped the floor of the cargo hold, and it bounced out of the hull with a thud, shooting out of the hull like a cannonball.

"Bang!!"

A loud bang rang out inside another ship.

With his flesh and blood, the Demon God Host smashed a large hole in the ship's outer armor plate and pierced straight through.

A bloody storm ensued, a one-sided massacre. (End of chapter)
