I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 760 - 469: Noah Rejoins the Team_3

He suddenly thought that, after nearly half a month of leveling up, the average Level of players had probably risen a notch, and after adapting to the environment, as long as enough players were gathered, armed with potion bombs and offensive Mysterious Objects, and coordinated under organized leadership, taking them down wasn’t impossible.

After all, the Didak Bug People that served as "Pollution Source Passages" had no significant fighting power; they were just extremely tough. Given the players’ propensity to thrive under adversity, defeating such mid-tier "elite monsters" was simply a matter of time.

’The players’ growth rate is indeed astonishing...’

Chen Lun shook his head, inwardly sighing.

A few days ago, through the game forums, he discovered that several players had already advanced to the Mid Sequence, altering the once leading situation of Polaris.

Soon, it would be possible that Mid Sequence players would become more numerous and even represent the new normal among the top-tier players. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

’Golov, Barton, and Morey, who are truly just ordinary people with average talent, happened to step into the Mystic Realm. After struggling at the bottom for many years and even after joining the Circus and receiving various kinds of support from me, they have still been caught up by the players in this version...’

Chen Lun felt somewhat emotional.

’Of course, characters like Floey, Noah, and Antonio, who were already boss-level existences and "Destined Ones" in their original world lines, grow at a frightening rate and possess specific templates. Even if players try to exploit loopholes, they can hardly catch up... Besides, their destiny has been changed by me, setting their future potential even higher, instead of being stuck in a predestined path.’

His thoughts concluded, he picked up the iced milk beside him and took a sip.

At that moment, he noticed that there had been more than one alert box; he just hadn’t noticed it at first.

[You have cumulatively slain 100 Divine Children of the Ancient God "Didak," intensifying the curse "Defiler of the Divine" you bear!]

[Defiler of the Divine LV2 (Curse)]

Curse description: Your hands are stained with the rich, fresh blood of the offspring of deities. This mark shall be engraved upon you, serving as a "living sacrifice" targeted for retribution, attracting the attention of the followers, divine favor, and other Divine Children of the Ancient God "Father of Darkness" Distadact!

Curse effect: All Attributes -2 (immune to this effect while "Skin of Curse" is active)

Chen Lun was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected that the Divine Children slain under his command could also be accounted to him, and this curse, marked during the initial removal of the first Didak Bug Person with Mr. Bottus, was retained because he saw that "Skin of Curse" could immunize him and even enhance his attributes inversely.

Over time, he had almost forgotten about this curse, and if it weren’t for the prompt about the curse’s upgrade, he might have completely overlooked it.

’So, during this time, the Incarnation of Deception has been searching for Carmen at the edge of darkness, probably killing some Didak Bug People along the way, and the one killed by the players has just met the conditions for escalating the curse...’

Chen Lun mused.

’Forget it, as far as I’m concerned, this curse is harmless and can even improve my attributes somewhat, calling it turning waste into treasure.’

He grinned and put it out of his mind.

Several days passed.

On September 9, 4420 in the Solar Calendar, the day of Prince Dazlert’s 23rd birthday arrived. The Central District of the Royal City was festooned with lights, with many residents out with their families celebrating, and the commercial streets bustling with special promotions.

At dusk.

Chen Lun, dressed in a black suit and flat top hat, led Floey, clad in an exquisite black-purple evening gown, onto the elegant carriage sent from the Royal Palace.

He wore a smile, appearing no different from any other day, but his heart was heavy.

Because he knew that Princess Anna and the Solar Cross Society were planning to make a move against Prince Dazlert at the upcoming royal banquet.

"There might be some unexpected situations at the banquet later. If things become uncontrollable, I will send you back to the church district,"

Chen Lun said inside the carriage, giving Floey a heads-up through "Mental Transmission." She initially looked stunned, then refrained from asking more, and simply nodded obediently.

Her light purple eyes then gazed intently as she softly added,

"You must also ensure your own safety first. If you are in danger, I will not leave... Even if you take me back, I will still come to find you."
