109 – Wu Jun’s Pervy Golden Finger! Double Kill!

Blood moon in the sky, white wasteland.

Cai Yonglong, Fang Yun, Zhang Jun, Wang Shuqing, and Wu Jun were tied up on crucifixes, unable to move.

They could only stare helplessly at the anomaly wielding a scythe, dressed in a black robe, like Death itself, floating in front of them, staring at them with scarlet, chilling eyes.

“Please, let me go; I’m willing to be at your beck and call…”

Fang Yun’s face was ashen, desperately begging for mercy.

He was nearly driven mad.

Inexplicably dragged into this anomalous world, unable to move, with no ability to resist, he could only be subjected to various terrifying tortures by the anomaly.

The most maddening part was that even if he was tortured to death, he would still come back to life.

Endlessly tortured, killed, and then revived.

This cycle had already repeated twenty times, and he was on the verge of breaking down mentally.

“Aren’t you supposed to be the savior? Why can’t you hold out any longer?”

The Reaper mocked.

“A savior so weak, what use do I have for you to serve me. An existence like you is only worthy of being crushed like a pest.

“Then, just kill me, kill me immediately! Please, stop torturing me!”

Fang Yun completely broke down, shouting in madness.

“Already broken, huh. How boring. In that case, I’ll grant you a true death.”

The Reaper said with a chilling tone, waving its scythe and slicing it hard across Fang Yun’s neck.

“Slash!”

With a slashing sound, Fang Yun’s head flew off, and a fountain of blood spurted from his severed neck, looking extremely horrifying.

However, despite being beheaded, Fang Yun showed no trace of pain, only displaying a relieved expression.

Finally, relief.

“Fang Yun!”

Cai Yonglong’s face also turned pale as he looked at the head and the dimmed eyes on the ground, and he closed his eyes in pain.

He was the first to join the group.

Fang Yun was the third, joining with the second transmigrator.

But the second transmigrator was killed upon landing, and Fang Yun survived.

Thus, he shared a long time with Fang Yun, almost three years, developing deep feelings.

Although Fang Yun often annoyed him, their relationship was actually very good, better than anyone else’s in the group; they were true friends.

Yet, Fang Yun died right in front of him, and he was powerless, only able to watch helplessly.

This sense of anger and helplessness pained him greatly.

“Hehehe, no need to be pained, after all, you’re about to die soon too.”

The Reaper floated in front of Cai Yonglong, speaking chillingly.

Cai Yonglong remained silent, only glaring angrily at it.

“Nice eyes. But I wonder, how many cycles of death can you endure? Is it twenty, fifty, or perhaps a hundred?”

As he spoke, the Reaper started a new round of brutal torture.

This time, the target was Cai Yonglong.

At first, Cai Yonglong could endure with his strong willpower; after all, he was a cultivator who had reached the Spirit Origin Realm and had far stronger willpower than Fang Yun.

But it was no use.

Over time, the dual torment of body and spirit made even the strong-willed cultivator Cai Yonglong succumb, screaming in agony.

Seeing this, even Zhang Jun, who had seen plenty of death, remained silent.

On the other side, Wang Shuqing and Wu Jun were even paler, speechless.

“Why, why did it become like this…”

Wang Shuqing muttered.

Clearly, they did nothing, yet they were suddenly dragged one after another into this anomalous space, unable to move, inexplicably trapped in a death trap.

“Your ability is dreaming, right? Controlling time, reincarnation, a being of your level can’t possibly do such things. In a dreamscape, where everything is an illusion, this makes sense. Therefore, as long as we are broken mentally within the dream, abandoning the will to live, we will completely die.

Zhang Jun suddenly spoke up.

“And you can trap us in this anomalous place because we fell asleep. Once asleep, you can peer into our dreams and memories, thus dragging us into your dreamscape and shifting it at will to torture us. Because in a dreamscape, you are an invincible existence with the power to materialize fantasy.”

As Zhang Jun spoke, the Reaper stopped moving, staring intently at Zhang Jun.
“Hehehe… you’re quite clever.”

The death-like presence fell silent, then started to laugh eerily again, speaking with a sinister tone.

“But even though you understand my principle, what can you do about it? If you want to blame someone, blame your foolish comrade who is now dead. In fact, he was already within the range of my ability. As long as someone falls asleep within my range, I can peer into their memories and drag them into a dream. In other words, I already know your internal information.”

“I learned of your existence in the dream, so naturally, I can also locate you and drag you in here for torment. Aren’t you all despairing? Even if Wang, who can foresee the future, appears in this world, he would just become my prey too. Because I know his ability, as long as I don’t expose myself at the start and you fall asleep, I can easily kill him.”

“Sorry, I’m not feeling despair.”

Zhang Jun said calmly.

“Your ability is reminiscent of a stand from a manga I remember. However, although your range is stronger, your lethality isn’t as potent. After all, in the manga, the damage in the dream materializes directly in reality. But you can’t do that; you need to push us to abandon our will to survive to kill us.”

“This means that as long as we can withstand your torment, we won’t die. And if we can hold out long enough, someone from the outside will wake us up.”

At this point, Zhang Jun’s eyes became sharp.

“This won’t take more than two days. As long as we wake up, it will be you who dies. Your ability is strong, but understanding the principle isn’t that significant. We just need to ensure we don’t fall asleep. Since your actual strength must be very weak, once we wake up, even at the cost of annihilating the entire city, you will die.”

“Zhang Jun…” Cai Yonglong, who was on the brink of collapse, heard this and regained some clarity, speaking hoarsely. “Thank you.”

Without Zhang Jun’s words, he really would have fallen apart.

Now he could hold on a bit longer.

“As long as we endure, we won’t die.” Wang Shuqing also gritted his teeth, no longer feeling hopeless.

Wu Jun’s determination also strengthened.

Although his body was still trembling.

Because he was the weakest, with the weakest mental fortitude.

If the anomaly started tormenting him first, even knowing its ability, he felt he wouldn’t last.

After all, humans have their limits.

Once beyond that limit, they collapse mentally and give up on life.

“Hahaha, and so what if you’ve deciphered my ability? That’s more than enough time for me to torment you all to collapse one by one. Each time I kill someone, my power grows stronger.”

“You said my ability isn’t as powerful as some stand? That only by tormenting until collapse can I kill?”

The deathly anomaly laughed coldly.

“No, my ability has already evolved. The reason you think that only torment to collapse can kill is just my personal preference. I enjoy seeing humans break down, enjoy seeing them plead.”

Hearing this, Zhang Jun’s pupils contracted suddenly.

Cai Yonglong, Wang Shuqing, and Wu Jun also showed expressions of fear and terror.

“Slash!”

Just then, the deathly anomaly swung its blade at Cai Yonglong’s neck, beheading him.

This time, Cai Yonglong did not come back to life, his decapitated head wore an expression of shock and despair.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jun fell silent, closing his eyes.

Wang Shuqing and Wu Jun were ashen-faced and speechless, equally immersed in extreme despair.

“What, giving up already? That’s really boring.”

The deathly anomaly floated in front of Zhang Jun, tapped his face with a death scythe, then carved several wounds, mocking him.

“But rest assured, as a reward for figuring out my ability just now, I’ll torment you thoroughly. Until you collapse and give up on life, I won’t stop.”

“Of course, I like to save the best for last, so I’ll first take some interest before slowly enjoying you.”

With that, the deathly anomaly swung its death scythe, cutting off Zhang Jun’s arm, causing his face to contort in pain, bitterness filling his heart.

Anomaly, truly too difficult to deal with… Without Wang’s ability, they were really helpless.

They likely faced complete annihilation this time.

“Well then, you’re next. I wonder how long you can last.”

Following that, the deathly anomaly approached Wang Shuqing, speaking in its eerie tone.

“No…” Wang Shuqing cried out in terror.

“I just love that expression of yours. Good, let’s increase the intensity.” The deathly anomaly chuckled sinisterly, about to chop off one of Wang Shuqing’s fingers.

“Clang!”

However, this time, it wasn’t as easy as before. Instead, the sound of metal clashing was heard.

“Huh.” The deathly anomaly was stunned.

Wang Shuqing was also stunned.

“What’s going on?” The deathly anomaly was confused, unable to resist swinging the scythe again with more force.

Yet, it still couldn’t harm Wang Shuqing at all.

“What exactly is with this human?” The deathly anomaly was furious, using all sorts of methods to torment Wang Shuqing, but he was completely untouched.

“I… I don’t know either?” Wang Shuqing was utterly bewildered.
He thought that his Golden Finger’s ability to enhance his defense could only be used on his physical body. He did not expect it to be effective even in this anomalous space.

…’ Zhang Jun remained silent.

He knew about Wang Shuqing’s Golden Finger, having initially thought it was quite ordinary.

But now, it seemed he had underestimated it.

Wang Shuqing’s Golden Finger appeared to be extremely powerful.

…’ Wu Jun was also dumbfounded. His fear was somewhat dispelled, and he didn’t know how to evaluate what he saw before him.

‘Is that all? Can you do better? Can’t you increase the intensity?’ Wang Shuqing’s eyes lit up as he shouted.

Knowing that the anomaly couldn’t break through his defense, he felt reassured.

Since that was the case, what was there to fear? Hurry up and draw aggro, buy some time, and prevent the anomaly from targeting Zhang Jun and Wu Jun.

If both of them died, then there really would be no hope.

‘You’re looking for death!’ The anomaly, like a grim reaper, roared in fury, increasing its efforts to torment Wang Shuqing.

‘Is that all? Is that all?’

‘You weakling, can you do any better?’

‘Ouch, you’re hurting me, although only a little, like a mosquito bite.’

‘Ugh, I can’t even die if I wanted to. This is too hard. Anomaly? Please, you’re more like a mouse.’

For a while, Wang Shuqing’s various taunts resounded, infuriating the anomaly and maximizing its aggro.

Zhang Jun and Wu Jun were equally stunned by the scene, unsure of what to say.

‘Alas…’ Zhang Jun soon sighed.

Drawing aggro had no real significance.

After all, if the anomaly wanted to kill him and Wu Jun, it would only take a strike.

As for Wang Shuqing, although the anomaly couldn’t break his defense, it could still torment him once it calmed down.

At best, only Wang Shuqing could survive with his extraordinary defense.

Suddenly, Zhang Jun recalled something and looked at Wu Jun.

He remembered that Wu Jun also had a Golden Finger.

However, Wu Jun never showed much strength or presence, so Zhang Jun didn’t know what Wu Jun’s Golden Finger was.

He had only occasionally heard others in the group mention Wu Jun’s Golden Finger, which would always make Wu Jun so angry he retorted fiercely.

‘If you can use it, use it. What are you waiting for?’

Zhang Jun looked at Wu Jun on the opposite side and reminded him with his eyes and lips.

This brought Wu Jun back to his senses, understanding Zhang Jun’s meaning.

He was conflicted, but finally gritted his teeth.

He too had a Golden Finger.

But his Golden Finger was a huge drawback.

Using it once would turn him into a woman for six months, and no method could revert it.

As for the Golden Finger’s ability, it was somewhat incomprehensible.

Infinite Possibilities: Every moment in the world holds endless possibilities; future developments have infinite potential.

And you have the ability to forcefully elevate the probability of a particular possibility to 100%, no matter how minuscule the chance originally was.

However, you cannot control which possibility will be raised to 100%.

It could be a positive outcome or a negative one, with the ratio being 1:9.

Finally, this Golden Finger has a cooldown period of 72 hours after each use.

Truth be told, Wu Jun would rather not use this Golden Finger if he could help it.

This Golden Finger was undoubtedly a bug-level ability, but it would turn him into a woman, which was something he couldn’t accept physiologically.

Besides, the uncertainty is too great. The probability of forming a beneficial outcome was only one-tenth.

He wasn’t blessed with great luck; he always lost in games and didn’t dare to gamble.

However, now he had no choice but to bet.

‘I’ll take the gamble!’

Wu Jun gathered his courage, shouting in his heart, gritted his teeth, and used his ability.

Immediately, under Zhang Jun’s astonished gaze, Wu Jun transformed into a woman.
This was also witnessed by Wang Shuqing standing nearby. He was equally stunned, staring at Wu Jun in bewilderment.

“What’s going on? Why did Wu Jun turn into a woman?”

“Anomaly, you have quite the twisted sense of humor… Turning Wu Jun into a woman? Are you intending to do something…”

Wang Shuqing resumed his sarcastic tone.

“You bastard!” The anomaly couldn’t hold back from cursing.

However, he too looked at Wu Jun with uncertainty, not knowing what had happened.

This… This definitely wasn’t his doing.

“Damn, could it be that your ability is just turning into a woman? If that’s all…”

Zhang Jun finally snapped out of his shock and swore out loud.

He was completely dumbfounded.

At the same time, he finally understood why the others laughed so exaggeratedly upon learning about Wu Jun’s ability, and why Wu Jun was so furious.

If it was merely turning into a woman, then it was really pathetic and unfortunate.

“What can I do? I’m desperate too!”

Wu Jun’s face turned red with fury as he shouted in anger.

However, because he had turned into a woman, his voice also became somewhat effeminate, giving Zhang Jun goosebumps.

“Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time I’ve seen such a useless savior. As the Dream Anomaly, I am willing to call you the strongest waste in history.”

The anomaly also looked at Wu Jun, understanding everything. His expression turned strange, and he began to mock.

“…”

Wu Jun’s face twitched, and he remained silent.

After using the Golden Finger, he himself didn’t know what kind of possibility it would trigger, let alone that it was most likely to be bad.

Even if it was good, this possibility appearing in front of everyone, being discovered, might not be immediate; it could be half a month later, or even years later.

Moreover, even a positive possibility might be as simple as finding a hundred bucks.

So, this Golden Finger was really useless for the mission, and he was truly afraid to use it.

Now he was forced to use it.

Fine.

It seemed like nothing happened, and he had even turned into a woman.

He would die as a woman just before his death… He was truly miserable.

Really, it was so sad.

For a moment, Wu Jun was downcast, his expression dark and lifeless, somewhat numb.

Zhang Jun also fell silent again.

“Hehehe, this is really interesting. You guys really put on a good clown show for me.”

The deathly anomaly laughed sinisterly.

“Thanks to this farce, I finally calmed down. So, it’s time to find another way to torture you. You think you’re invincible? Then, I’ll soak you in poison and see how long you can endure. I’ll suffocate you and see how long you can hold your breath.”

With that, the deathly anomaly looked at Wang Shuqing again, filled with murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuqing’s expression changed, and a sense of foreboding filled his heart.

However, he was powerless to resist and could only watch as the anomaly attacked him.

At the same time, in outer space, a meteor was being mysteriously drawn, heading straight for the ground.

Due to friction with the air, it formed a large fireball, shining brightly in the night sky!

Then, this meteor, under the terrified gazes of some people, fell straight onto an ancient city.

In an instant, the entire ancient city was annihilated by the terrifying energy of the meteor’s impact, with the ground shaking violently as if an earthquake had occurred.

Eventually, a massive crater appeared at the site, and everyone in the ancient city was completely wiped out, with no survivors.

Just as the meteor struck the ancient city, the anomaly’s blood-red space suddenly vanished.

Zhang Jun, Wang Shuqing, and Wu Jun awoke, their faces filled with fear.

Zhang Jun’s arm was bizarrely broken, blood gushing out, making his face pale.

Wang Shuqing was also in a sorry state, with the torment in the dream manifesting in reality.

Although Wu Jun wasn’t tortured, he had turned into a woman due to using his ability.

At this moment, the voice of the chat group rang out, congratulating the three for completing the chat group’s mission.

This gave the three a sense of surviving a disaster.

However, since they had separated to investigate the anomaly and were not together, they couldn’t speak, only feeling intense relief and gratitude.
“My Golden Finger actually helped us complete the mission?”

Wu Jun murmured to himself, somewhat incredulous.

He had taken a gamble, and unexpectedly, it paid off.

Although the price was steep—he turned into a woman and had to remain that way for half a year.

“How exactly did we complete the mission? How did the anomaly die?”

Soon after, Wu Jun was again filled with confusion.

At this moment, two new messages popped up in the chat group, plunging everyone into silence.

“Ding, group member Cai Yonglong (1) has died. Death replay in progress. Due to the honorable sacrifice in the group mission, the entire mission development will be played.”

“Ding, group member Fang Yun (3) has died. Death replay in progress. Due to the honorable sacrifice in the group mission, the entire mission development will be played.”

Zhang Hu (5): “Damn, Brother Cai died? Fang Yun too?”

Wang Ping (66): “What happened? What kind of anomaly did you encounter?”

Chen Yao (71): “It’s only been one day… Why did this happen?”

Qin Tian (77): “…Sigh, death is so close to me.”

Lin Yuanyuan (80): “…”

In the fantastical world, Wang Ping and the other four were indeed shocked and felt a chill in their hearts.

In just one day, two people on Fang Yun’s side had died—Cai Yonglong and Fang Yun. It was truly frightening.

This also made Zhang Hu, Chen Yao, Qin Tian, and Lin Yuanyuan really grateful to be on the same team as Wang Ping. Otherwise, they might have met the same fate.

Moreover, Cai Yonglong and Fang Yun were among the first members to join the Transmigrator Chat Group. Their deaths left everyone with complex feelings.

Liu Mei (15): “…I noticed Brother Cai and Fang Yun’s avatars turned gray earlier, and the number of active group members changed. Without a system prompt, I still had a bit of hope remaining… Sigh.”

Wu Yueming (79): “Although it’s a bit inappropriate to say, I’m very grateful I wasn’t chosen to participate in the group mission.”

Ye Xiaofan (75): “Agreeing with the above.”

Wu Jun (20): “…You’ll know what happened soon. This anomaly was also very twisted. If we hadn’t been lucky, we likely would’ve been wiped out.”

Zhang Jun (70): “I can only say that even if Brother Wang were there, we probably would’ve been wiped out as well. Because the anomaly knew about our chat group and was constantly on guard against Brother Wang.”

Wang Shuqing (71): “Exactly… To be honest, we don’t even know how we completed the mission. It all relied on Wu Jun using his Golden Finger, and then somehow, we inexplicably completed the mission. Truly very fortunate.”

Hearing everyone’s explanations, including Wang Ping, they all felt their scalps tingling.

Wang Ping’s expression changed incessantly.

What the hell…

What on earth was this anomaly?

Why would even I die if I went?

Although anomalies cannot be judged by common sense, Fang Yun’s world was just a martial arts world. What was it about this anomaly’s ability that was so twisted? Why didn’t even foresight work?

“Ding, death replay has been successfully recorded. All group members can now download and review it.”

The group system’s voice rang out again.

This snapped Wang Ping back to his senses. He took a deep breath and clicked in.

Then, Wang Ping saw the entire sequence of events.

After the five met up, they began to split up and act, attempting to investigate the anomaly.

Without his abilities, the investigation had to rely on themselves.

Then, there was nothing.

They found nothing and subsequently fell asleep, one by one.

Then, they were dragged into a dream world created by the anomaly.

In the dream world, the anomaly was invincible and began to torment them.

Later, the anomaly revealed that it had long known about Fang Yun’s existence and the inside of the Transmigrator Chat Group through Fang Yun’s memories.

Even worse, the anomaly hinted that it had known about his abilities and was always guarding against him, planning to hunt him down.

“This anomaly…” Wang Ping’s expression kept changing.

His ability wasn’t foresight but the Life Simulator.

However, the Life Simulator might not necessarily keep him safe.

If this anomaly hid well enough, it might not be detected in the first simulation, leaving him without any useful information. He might then give up on the simulation and try to gather intelligence through other means before simulating again.

At most, if multiple simulations yielded no results, he would resort to such measures.

Eventually, he would have to take action.
Once it’s done, it’s over.

Although he doesn’t need much time, he still keeps the habit of sleeping. As soon as he falls asleep, the anomaly will force a game over.

As for the anomaly being able to distinguish which one is the real him, that’s easy.

Because the version of him from the Life Simulator cannot continue to use abilities. The anomaly can easily identify the situation from his memory.

Just as Zhang Jun said, this time’s dream anomaly, even if he were to confront it, he might die.

This made Wang Ping fall silent.

He always thought that with the Life Simulator, he wouldn’t encounter any danger.

But this time, the anomaly seemed to teach him a lesson.

It’s not that all these traversers are hunters. The positions of hunter and prey can switch.

It all comes down to the importance of intelligence. If the anomaly knows more than them, they are equally in danger.

At the same time, Wang Ping wasn’t sure if anomalies had some kind of connection, like an anomaly chat group or something.

If such a chat group really existed, then his intelligence would be completely leaked.

If that’s the case, then dealing with the Pope anomaly this time might not go smoothly.

The Life Simulator would downplay the existence of a chat group. If that’s the case for him, it would be even more so for the anomalies.

The simulated future happens under the assumption that the chat group is downplayed. If the anomaly has a chat group and recently learned about his information, then something unexpected could really happen.

“I wonder what Wu Jun’s Golden Finger is, how they completed the chat group mission.”

Wang Ping felt heavy-hearted, mumbling to himself as he continued watching the death replay.

Then, he saw Cai Yonglong tortured to death after Fang Yun, Zhang Jun’s ability being mocked by the anomaly, and then having his arm chopped off.

Immediately after, there was Wang Shuqing drawing aggro with his abnormal defense, and Wu Jun using his ability to turn into a woman, causing the anomaly to laugh uproariously.

Soon after, the space inexplicably disappeared. The transformed woman Wu Jun, the one-armed Zhang Jun, and the battered Wang Shuqing returned to the real world, prompted that they had completed the task.

However, this wasn’t the end. After the main story ended, the chat group system thoughtfully played at the end of the video the reason why the task was completed.

It turned out that a meteor suddenly changed its trajectory, crashing towards Earth, flattening an ancient city.

And the anomaly was in that ancient city.

Wang Ping (66): “This anomaly… truly perverse. Even if I went, I might die.”

Zhang Jun (70): “Yes, that’s why I told you. Honestly, I was puzzled about how the mission was completed before. I didn’t expect Wu Jun’s Golden Finger to be so abnormal. Infinite possibilities… I feel like this Golden Finger’s potential is higher than anyone else’s in the group.”

Ye Xiaofan (75): “It’s not an illusion. It truly is too abnormal. However, uncontrollability is a significant issue. If we could buy a Golden Finger Optimizer, it might become extremely perverse.”

Zhang Hu (5): “Wu Jun, I underestimated you before. I apologize here… But, it’s still complicated seeing Cai Yonglong and Fang Yun die like that.”

Wu Jun (20): “I won’t hold it against you. However, I deeply regret not using my Golden Finger earlier. If I had used it sooner, maybe Cai Yonglong and Fang Yun wouldn’t have died.”

Wang Ping (66): “Honestly, it’s not a certainty. Your ability summoned the meteor at that moment, helping you kill the anomaly and complete the task. But using your ability a few minutes earlier could have resulted in a negative outcome, increasing the likelihood of a bad result. In that scenario, it might have ended in a team wipe.”

Wu Yueming (79): “I think Brother Wang makes a good point. Luck can be very metaphysical.”

Wu Jun (20): “…Alright. So, our successful completion of the task was really just a matter of my extraordinary luck. It’s not that using the ability will definitely summon a meteor. It was lucky timing that increased the chance of a meteor hitting the anomaly to one hundred percent.”

Wang Ping (66): “Exactly. So, there’s no need for guilt. Cai Yonglong and Fang Yun’s deaths weren’t your fault. On the contrary, you avenged them.”

Wang Ping also felt a bit complicated.

As a newcomer to the group, Cai Yonglong and Fang Yun’s deaths still touched him deeply.

“Brother Cai, I hope in your next life you won’t be dragged into such a treacherous chat group.”

Wang Ping sighed inwardly.

After several simulations, Wang Ping also knew that even without this task, Cai Yonglong would still die, just from dying at the hands of an anomaly to dying in the mouth of a Transcendent Realm beast.

However, in the fantasy world, he could change the future and let Cai Yonglong avoid the death trap.

But in other worlds, he ultimately couldn’t intervene.

As Zhang Jun said, if he went this time, he would face danger himself.

“I used to get a bit carried away because of the Life Simulator. Even with the Life Simulator, I must be extremely cautious when dealing with anomalies. Now, dream anomalies have learned about intelligence through group members. In the future, anomalies capable of predicting the future might appear. If I completely trust the simulated content in the Life Simulator then, I might not even know how I died.”

Wang Ping took a deep breath, murmuring to himself.

Zhang Hu (5): “Wu Jun, how many rewards did you get this time? Maybe you can buy a Rebirth Talisman to stay alive.”

At this moment, Zhang Hu sent another message.

Wu Jun (20): “I got five hundred thousand group points.”

Zhang Jun (70): “Ten thousand group points.”

Wang Shuqing (74): “I got twenty thousand group points. Looks like my time on aggro was crucial.”

Wang Ping (66): “Five hundred thousand group points? This anomaly was quite valuable. Considering its ability and the casualty rate it caused among group members, it makes sense. Wu Jun, you should save some points to optimize your Golden Finger. It might really come in handy in the future.”
Wu Jun (20): “I know.”

Zhang Jun (70): “Brother Wang, how are things on your end? Have you found the anomaly?”

Wang Ping (66): “We found it, and also figured out a method to clear the level. However, based on your situation, I suddenly feel it might not be easy to kill him…”

Wang Ping slightly shook his head and explained the situation in the fantasy world, also sharing his theories about the anomaly chat group.

In an instant, everyone fell silent, their hearts heavy.

If things were really as Wang Ping speculated, with an anomaly chat group, leakage of information was inevitable.

This meant Wang Ping and the others might really not be able to complete the group task safely this time…

If any unexpected events occurred, what awaited Wang Ping and the rest could be certain death.

After all, the power gap was just too vast.

One could say, the continuous appearance of anomalies in these two worlds weighed heavily on the minds of the chat group members, even causing a suffocating feeling.

Previously, they were tempted by the huge benefits Liu Mei had obtained.

Then, they fell into panic because of the simultaneous appearance of anomalies, and were even more terrified by the dream anomaly in Fang Yun’s world.

Now, they were further frightened by Wang Ping’s speculations.

One could say, they had been too optimistic last time, treating the anomalies like hot cakes, which was truly courting death.

Wang Ping (66): “Of course, all of this is just my speculation. What we have to do essentially remains the same; we just have to grit our teeth and push forward. Alright, let’s go dark for now and complete the task according to plan as soon as possible, so we can return sooner.”

After saying this, Wang Ping went dark.

Zhang Hu, Qin Tian, Chen Yao, and Lin Yuanyuan also silently went dark.

Regarding this, Wu Jun and the others had no mood for chatting and similarly went dark.

In no time, the group returned to quiet.

A deathly silence.

No one had the time to mourn for Cai Yonglong and Fang Yun, the two transmigrant veterans; they could only charge forward with all their might.

Otherwise, the same end awaited them.

Half a month later, in a royal capital, the Light Pope was preaching at the city center.

Around him, warriors from the Church of Light maintained order and protected the Light Pope.

Additionally, a hidden Light Archmage was ready to cast defense-type Forbidden Spells at any moment.

Meanwhile, Wang Ping, Qin Tian, Chen Yao, and Lin Yuanyuan were all in hiding, waiting for the perfect moment.

Then, just as the Light Pope’s speech reached its climax and everyone relaxed slightly, Wang Ping, Qin Tian, and Chen Yao’s gazes sharpened instantly, and they took action.

The illusion formation, pre-set, activated in an instant, encapsulating the Light Pope and others within.

“Not good!” The Light Archmage’s face changed dramatically, just as he was about to cast a Forbidden Spell, Wang Ping appeared before him like a ghost, unleashing his strongest speed and power, smashing him into a bloody mist, instantly killing him.

Then, Wang Ping swiftly dashed into the illusion formation and attacked the Light Pope.

Caught in the illusion, the Light Pope had no awareness and was easily knocked unconscious by Wang Ping.

This made Wang Ping breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed the anomalies weren’t connected.

Or rather, there was no link between these two anomalies.

Otherwise, it would never have gone this smoothly.

Just now, Wang Ping was prepared to receive a reward at a critical moment and forcibly enhance his combat power.

“Lin Yuanyuan, drain him quickly!”

Wang Ping shouted, pulling Lin Yuanyuan over with his strength.

Lin Yuanyuan was not hesitant at all; after coming over, she gritted her teeth, ripped off her and the Light Pope’s clothes and “began” immediately.

Soon, the Light Pope was drained at a visible speed, with all his strength transferring to Lin Yuanyuan, giving her a somewhat sacred aura at this moment.

Of course, considering her current state, it was a bit blasphemous.

However, no one present cared about that, as Wang Ping and the rest knew a bigger problem was about to arise.

Sure enough, a terrifying amount of energy erupted from the Light Pope’s body, radiating a blinding light.

“Return!”

Upon seeing the light, Wang Ping’s pupils contracted sharply, shouting in his heart with urgency.

Immediately after, Wang Ping and the others turned into white light and disappeared.

At the same moment Wang Ping and others returned, the Light Main God’s divine power exploded, sweeping the surroundings.

Everything here turned to ash!
