Lin Li's understanding of the Whispering God did not come from any documents or myths in Anril. Instead, it came from the Endless World, the game world with countless players before he transmigrated to this world.
The so-called Whispering God was not a real deity, but the terror it brought to every player in the Endless World was far greater than that of a real deity. Perhaps the deities were more powerful, but they had never descended into the world personally. On the other hand, the Whispering God had brought great disasters to the Endless World. The destruction of the Stars City and the Natural Disaster of the Bright Moon City were disasters that even the cruelest war could not compare to. However, they were all caused by the Whispering God.
Lin Li still had a very clear memory of the disaster caused by the Whispering God, even though it had only happened in the game world. That time, he had just gone online when he received a notification from the system calling for high-level players to head to the Stars City to participate in the city-defense mission. It also gave extremely generous rewards. It felt like welfare. However, when he rushed to the outskirts of the Stars City, he realized that it was a f * cking scam by the system. It was a mission that was impossible to complete.
In the sky above the Stars City, which was known as the largest city in the Endless World, the Whispering God with countless eyes and countless tentacles shrouded the entire city with its endless murmurs. All the players of the mage profession, as long as they had not reached the Legendary-level, would lose all their mana in an instant. They would become weaker than level-1 newbies, and no amount of mana potions would help them. As for the Legendary-mages, they did not last long. They were originally flying in the air and casting magic spells, but they soon fell from the sky like raindrops. Only the Warriors, Assassins, and Hunters still maintained their combat power. However, their attacks could not cause any damage to the Whispering God at all.
Following that, the higher-ups of the Guild of Magic, Guild of Warriors, Guild of Assassins, and other professional guilds in the Stars City, who were originally in charge of imparting skills, also rose into the air from the city one by one. They did not hold back and displayed their powerful strength that no one knew about. To be honest, even those who had lived in the Stars City for a long time and visited all the NPCs in the city would never have imagined that there were so many Legendary powerhouses in the city.
However, even though the Legendary NPCs were very powerful, they still couldn't do anything to the Whispering God. The first to fall was Joey, the president of the Guild of Magic, who had reached the peak of the Legendary-realm and was only one step away from the Sanctuary-realm. Following that, none of the top 10 executives of the Guild of Magic, from the head judge to the magic mentors of the various elements, were able to escape from the Whispering God.
The leader of the Guild of Warriors, the Legendary Sword Saint Kasparo, had fallen. The thirteen Legendary Sword Saints of the guild's upper echelons had all perished. The Guild Leader of the Assassin Guild, Master Assassin Eto 'o, had fallen. The twelve Master Assassins of the Guild's upper echelons had all been wiped out …
Daniel, the president of the Hunter Union, was the only exception. After his pet Thunder Eagle Queen blocked the fatal blow for him, he left an arm and the King Hunter Bow and escaped from Vast Star City in time. However, none of the other senior executives of the Hunter Guild were as lucky as them. All of them were killed along with their pets.
Seeing how the powerful NPCs were like chickens in a beginner's village in front of the Whispering God, all the players present were in despair. They were originally full of confidence and wanted to obtain the generous mission rewards, but now, all of them dropped their weapons and fled for their lives.
However, the Whispering God didn't show any mercy to the players who had already lost their will to resist. Its huge body was like a hot air balloon that slowly moved above the Stars City. Its countless tentacles were like the harpoons in the hands of a fisherman. They landed on the city and stabbed the bodies of players and NPCs one after another.
In that disaster, the Whispering God slaughtered hundreds of thousands of players and countless NPCs who had been living in the Stars City. Even the castellan of the Stars City couldn't escape. The Stars City was almost completely wiped out from the Endless World in a day.
Although Lin Li was still a distance away from the Star Field City, he hid in the bushes and did not dare to move. Seeing the Whispering God massacre and destroy the Star Field City, he could only secretly rejoice in his heart that he had delayed for some time, and did not make it in time for this "benefit".
After the incident, the official website of the Endless World was flooded with players. Some cursed, some condemned, and some asked for a reasonable explanation. The official website of the Endless World finally gave some information and explanations about the Whispering God. They claimed that the Whispering God wasn't a creature in the background setting of the game, but was automatically generated after a lot of calculations in the game. In other words, it was a loophole in the game that couldn't be controlled.
According to the official explanation, the Whispering God wasn't a creature that naturally reproduced. It was a monster that transcended the laws of nature, formed by countless souls of the dead that had been fighting for tens of millions of years in the two cities of the Bright Moon City and the Stars City.
Of course, the debris of the stars and the Endless Labyrinth that he designed had both appeared in Anril. It wasn't too strange that the Whispering God could appear in this world. However, Lin Li still clearly remembered that the official announcement of the Endless World mentioned that only the souls of the dead that had lived for tens of thousands of years could form the Whispering God. Then, why would there be such a monster in Prince Brahere's mausoleum?
However, time didn't allow Lin Li to think about the answer to this question. No matter what, he was sure that the monster in front of him was the Whispering God. Now, he had to think about how to escape. In the game, one could be resurrected after death, but this wasn't a game. If one died, everything would be over.
At this moment, the Whispering God had already launched a fierce attack on the expedition while creating the endless murmurs. The countless tentacles looked soft and powerless, but at the moment of attack, they would become sharper than any sharp weapon. The warriors of the expedition were all wearing the best standard armor, but they were like paper in the face of the Whispering God's tentacles. They couldn't provide any protection for the warriors at all.
"All warriors, protect the mages!"
Seeing that the mages under them were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and that the attacks of the Warriors were unable to cause any effective damage to the Whispering God, Joseph and Claus immediately gave an order for the Warriors to give up on attacking and focus on protecting the mages instead, helping them block the tentacles that were shooting at them from all directions.
At this time, Lin Li's Tower of Dusk was in an awkward situation. The Tower of Dusk's team was made up of Archmages, and under normal circumstances, they would definitely be the strongest among the four teams. However, when facing the Whispering God, all the mages who hadn't entered the Legendary-realm lost their combat power immediately. The other teams still had their warriors to protect them, but the Tower of Dusk didn't have that many warriors. Joseph and the rest were busy dealing with the Whispering God. Otherwise, they would have been overjoyed to see the situation of the Tower of Dusk.
Hoffman also saw the predicament that the Tower of Dusk was facing, but the Glittergold Trade Union wasn't having an easy time either. How could they spare the energy to help the mages of the Tower of Dusk? However, despite that, Hoffman still asked Lin Li, "President Felic, let your men enter our formation. Otherwise, if this goes on …"
If this went on, this team of mages would be killed by the Whispering God before he could think of a solution! Of course, Lin Li knew the answer to that question, and he regretted bringing the Holy Death Knights along.
As for now, Lin Li was very clear that even if he joined the Glittergold Trade Union's team, the warriors of the Glittergold Trade Union wouldn't be able to protect everyone. Instead, the Glittergold Trade Union's team would be full of loopholes, and neither side would benefit from it. Hence, he decisively rejected Hoffman's suggestion, and left the task of protecting the team to Connoris and Norfeller. At the same time, he summoned the Legendary Demon Gordon that he had subdued in the Sky Castle.
Demon Gordon, who wasn't very outstanding under Lin Li's command, played a significant role in the current situation. First of all, his body, which was made up of various precious magical metals, had a powerful defense that no armor could compare to. The sharp blades that Gordon's arms had transformed into could actually cause a certain amount of damage to the Whispering God's tentacles. Although the damage wasn't great, it could still stop its attack to a certain extent.
The Goblin Angelano, who was already trembling in fear at the terrifying Whispering God, also released 20 alchemy puppets to join the team's defense. These alchemy puppets weren't Shadow Assassins that were made of Shadow Iron. Instead, they were Warrior-type alchemy puppets that were made of various kinds of high-strength magical metals that were specially used to charge head-on traps.
With three Legendary powerhouses and 20 alchemy puppets, they could barely protect the mages who had lost their combat power. However, Lin Li was very clear that this was only temporary. If he couldn't find a way to deal with the Whispering God in time, he might not be able to escape, let alone the mages.
As they had to take care of the mages who had lost their combat power, there weren't many people in the four forces who could really fight against the Whispering God. After all, an Archmage was a valuable asset to any force that they could not afford to give up.
However, the Whispering God was already at the peak of the Legendary-level. Unless someone could completely suppress it in terms of level, no magic or martial arts attack would be able to cause it any harm. The Legendary Sword Sage's invincible Combat Energy Slash could only cut a dent in its body, and the Legendary-mage's terrifying magic disappeared before it could even touch its body.
The only thing worth rejoicing about was the direct attack power of the Whispering God that didn't quite match its level. Since it couldn't release any real magic, the Whispering God could only rely on its tentacles to attack in addition to constantly devouring everyone's mana. The attack power that it could exert was probably around level-22. However, this was already terrifying enough. It would be fine if there were only a few dozen tentacles, but the problem was that the entire incubation room was filled with its tentacles. It was impossible to count how many there were.
Joseph continuously waved the King of Flames' Staff in his hand. The magic that he had cast so far was probably enough to destroy a city. However, when he saw that the monster wasn't injured at all after the magic light dissipated, he couldn't help but feel fear that he hadn't felt for a long time. What made him feel even more chilled was that the huge amount of mana in his body was also rapidly decreasing as time passed. It was as if he was casting dozens of Legendary-level magic every second.
The Whispering God's devouring of mana didn't stop for a moment. In fact, it was constantly accelerating as time passed. Soon, among the people who were originally participating in the battle, a few level-22 Legendary-mages had no choice but to withdraw from the battle. Although they hadn't dropped their level, they couldn't continue to support such a futile attack.
What was even more frustrating was that although all parties had first arranged to protect the mages, the screams behind them had almost never stopped since the beginning of the battle. There were mages and Warriors among them. Although there was only one Whispering God, its countless tentacles were like countless enemies that attacked from every opening. It was impossible to guard against them.
In such a situation, it was no longer the time to hold back. Saving their lives was the most important thing. Joseph had no doubt that if this situation continued, he wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being buried with Prince Brahere.
At the thought of this, Joseph once again cast a huge fire dragon and quickly retreated a certain distance. Then, he began to recite a spell. As he recited the spell, a huge Six-pointed Star Array appeared in the open space not far in front of him. The light of the array became brighter and brighter. After it reached its peak, it suddenly converged and became dim. When the light dissipated, a huge pitch-black Abyssal Demon Dragon with two horns on its head was left in the sky above the Six-pointed Star Array.
Summoning the Abyssal Demon Dragon! All of a sudden, everyone seemed a little stunned, especially the people from the Dida Family in the Mithril Alliance. They couldn't believe their eyes. The spell to summon the Abyssal Demon was given to the Dida Family by the Ashen Warlock back then. It had always been a secret of the Dida Family. Who would have thought that Joseph had also mastered this spell?
Moreover, the former patriarch of the Dida Family, Charles' father, had also died from the backlash of summoning the Abyssal Demon Dragon. Although the Abyssal Demon Dragon was only level-23, it probably wouldn't have a problem fighting a level-24 powerhouse head-on with its strong characteristics in all aspects. How did Joseph successfully subdue this adult Abyssal Demon Dragon?
