When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 1068 - 387: This Is Catastrophe

At this moment, Malik finally realized the problem.

He thought he had taken down hundreds of bosses, but, were they actually just minions?

Even the minions were Catastrophe Level, then...

"Wait a minute!"

Malik anxiously shouted and tried to call for help, but the signal he sent was instantly shattered by a massive surge of energy.

"Brothers, let's fight them to the end!"

"Damn it, killing one is a gain, killing two is a profit!"

"Let them see what a true catastrophe is!"

The players were seeing red, driven by a killing frenzy.

Malik was almost numb, but besides himself, no one knew how much he was suffering.

Xue Quan was still smiling.

Yes, yes, that's the spirit!

"Since Malik isn't in a hurry to take those people down and wants to play with them a bit longer, let him be. Don't worry about him. Our primary task is still to conquer the Sixth Cathedral of Apostle Holy City as soon as possible. Only by taking this can we have the energy to search for Bai Fu's hiding spot."

Since Xue Quan said so, the others naturally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Malik's situation anymore.

They began focusing on attacking the Sixth Cathedral.

The last glimmer of hope for Malik to survive faded like that.

His power wasn't actually bad, but facing so many players' gang-up, even the most powerful couldn't withstand it.

"Damn, where are the teammates? Teammates? Save me?"

Until his soul was torn apart, Malik still didn't know where his teammates were.

Once he died, the rest of the fleet he led couldn't possibly be a match for the players.

The players had thought the journey following Malik's costly defeat would be even more perilous, but things went completely beyond their expectations; they pierced through Malik's fleet with hardly any effort in a single charge.

At first, they thought the enemy was using a lure tactic.

As they fought, they finally figured it out—

The people of Titan Industry weren't pretending to be weak; they truly were weak!

"Holy crap, attack, keep attacking!"

A group of players went wild with joy, and even without orders from the commander, they began charging forward like mad.

As they charged, the fleet led by Malik began to retreat.

And as Malik's fleet retreated, it caused the entire flank of Titan Industry's main fleet to collapse.

None of this was supposed to happen.

Although several million Catastrophe-Level players' combat power was exaggerated, it shouldn't be possible to crush Titan Industry's fleet so swiftly.

Blame it only on Titan Industry for being too lax, and Malik's death being too sudden.

One moment, everyone thought Malik was playing a game with the players; the next, he suddenly perished.

This huge contrast left the people of Titan Industry dumbfounded.

Driven by primal fear, the only thought left in their minds was to run.

"What's going on?"

In the command ship, watching the chaos in the distance, Xue Quan frowned slightly.

"It's bad, Chairman, Malik is dead!" the chairman's assistant shouted in panic.

"What?" Xue Quan stood up in anger, "Dead? How did he die?"

"The Undying, the ones attacking weren't from Apostle Holy City, but a group of Undying. Malik was killed by them!"

"What a joke, they're just a group of Undying. No matter how many there are, how could they possibly kill Malik?"

The chairman's assistant hesitated to speak.

But what can I do, the fact is, Malik really did die.

Xue Quan's eyes widened in fury: "Malik must have let his guard down and was ambushed, useless waste!"

She pointed to another confidant at random.

"Thorne, you, deal with those Undying for me!"

Me?

Thorne, the one pointed at, twitched at the corners of his mouth.

He didn't want to go, but Xue Quan called him by name; how could he refuse?

It shouldn't be a big problem.

His power was slightly stronger than Malik's; as long as he didn't show off like Malik, it should be hard to die.

A few minutes later.

"It's bad, Chairman, Thorne is dead!" the chairman's assistant shouted in panic once again.

This time, even the most sluggish person could sense something was wrong.

"What is up with this group of Undying?"

Xue Quan's face turned extremely unpleasant.

If not even Dominators could subdue these Undying, doesn't it mean only the Super Supreme can handle it?

Her eyes swept over the Super Supreme in the command ship who hadn't yet acted.

No one responded to her; everyone was avoiding her gaze.

Without figuring out what exactly happened, who dared to rashly go fight those Undying? Winning didn't bring much benefit, and losing meant ending up like Malik and Thorne.

Even at Super Supreme Rank, who would be willing to die so meaninglessly?

If it were to protect Titan Industry, to protect their own families, they'd step forward, but as for right now, forget it.

Xue Quan saw through the true thoughts of these Super Supreme at a glance.

She felt a burning rage, wishing to eliminate them all, but she didn't dare actually do it.

Right now, Titan Industry was in a battle with the Sixth Cathedral of Apostle Holy City, and there were Undying lurking outside. If she caused a conflict with these people now, she might end up stuck here forever.

Left with no choice, Xue Quan could only order to shrink the defense line, and deploy numerous energy detection devices to scout the players' actual strength.

It would have been better not to check; upon checking, everyone in Titan Industry fell silent.

Catastrophe Level, Catastrophe Level, Catastrophe Level...

On the feedback from the detectors, the screen was filled with glaring crimson, and crimson represented the energy level intensity of Catastrophe Rank.

"Every Undying is Catastrophe Level, and there are at least a few million such Undying. How is this possible?"

Xue Quan was so shocked her eyes almost popped out.

Several million Catastrophe Level gathering together was already quite exaggerated, but several million immortal Catastrophe Level gathering together was even more terrifying.

No wonder Malik and Thorne couldn't withstand it; in this situation, what ordinary Dominator could handle it?

Even that wasn't the most frightening part. The most terrifying realization was spotting many familiar faces within the Catastrophe Army from Titan Industry advancing from the flank.

"That's Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi. Yes, it's him; there's intelligence about him in the database. He obviously only had S+ power before, how did he advance to Catastrophe Level now?"

"And that person is..."

The more they calculated, the greener their faces became.

They had already noticed that the players upgraded at an unbelievably fast rate.

But at that time, the players' power was generally weak, and the total number of players wasn't even as large as the population of an ordinary planet, so the speed didn't really matter much.

But now...

"They were already at S+ Level; why is their power increase still so fast?"

"Now that they're at Catastrophe Level, if their enhancement speed remains the same..."

By the time they advance to Dominator Rank, or even Super Supreme Rank, who could withstand that!

"Quick, report what's happening here to the leader!"

Xue Quan was completely panicked.

However, the situation was far worse than she had imagined.

Because at the same time, fleets sent by Rebirth Empire and Supernova Battle Group also suffered attacks from the Undying.

Just like their side, the Undying attacking were all upgraded to Catastrophe Level.

Among them, the Rebirth Empire's situation was slightly better; the Undying's attack had already been repelled, while the Supernova Battle Group was in a precarious situation, suffering heavy losses under the combined assault of the Undying and Apostle Holy City.

"Three-pronged attack, each route with millions of forces."

Ignatius felt half-numb upon hearing this news.

He had fought Undying at Catastrophe Level at the Origins Agreement headquarters, but those Undying's actual power wasn't truly Catastrophe Level; they used various methods to forcibly elevate their power to that rank.

But now, these Undying were genuinely at Catastrophe Level!

"How on earth did Bai Fu manage this? Where did she find so many resources to supply these Undying, allowing them to resurrect endlessly?"

Before setting out to Apostle Holy City, Ignatius was full of confidence.

Now, he couldn't even muster a smile.

All he felt was unease.

"We must kill Bai Fu as quickly as possible; there's no time to delay."

Ignatius immediately gathered all members of the Origins Agreement to discuss countermeasures.
