Even so, the Players who had chosen to fight Sotimi's zombie horde from the start were unable to hold their own, with the dragon-slaying Players swarming in and snatching away most of their kills.
Such a situation wasn't particularly surprising. After all, most players who chose to hunt the Dead Red Dragon had a certain level of confidence in their own strength. They were considered elite powerhouses among the player community.
In a head-on fight, the Players who chose to fight the Undead Orks naturally couldn't beat them.
Not even Xi Wei could have imagined that the Dead Red Dragon that seemed so awesome was actually such a noob that it didn't even last two days against the Players' encirclement …
After all, according to Xi Wei's original plan, the dragon would at least last five days against the Players' encirclement, and it would only be slain by the Players' combined forces when it approached Tunaya.
After all, being the capital of a duchy, Tunaya's walls were equipped with large-scale defensive weapons such as Illum Crystal Cannons. Even if the Illum Crystal Cannons couldn't penetrate the dragon's scales after losing its draconic magic, it could at least cause enough damage to form a weak spot where the Players could focus their firepower …
But the Players did not play by the rules, and directly went into the fray themselves to rip off the Dead Red Dragon's scales, forcing the battle to end four days earlier.
If an event ended in a hurry after just two days, Xi Wei who prided himself on being the game planner would be nailed to the pillar of shame.
That was why he had to sneakily drop some of the Players' deviant divine power into the mortal realm, resurrecting some corpses in the mass graves as zombies, and then instructing the Players to run around and put out fires through the event quest.
After a series of actions that appeared incredibly fierce but was in fact completely useless, he managed to extend the event's duration to five days.
As a matter of fact, even if Xi Wei didn't do something superfluous and wanted to end the event on the same day, the Players wouldn't be surprised that the event lasted so little. After all, they were natives of this world and hadn't experienced many events in their lives.
Be that as it may, Xi Wei had a vague feeling that if he relied on the Players of this world who didn't know what the original game was like and did whatever they wanted, his divinity would fall from 'the divinity of the God of Games in electronic games and other messy things' to the divinity of the original God of Games of this world.
Most of the authority that he had obtained through his understanding of the game would probably disappear as well.
Although it sounded a little obscure, it was actually quite easy to understand if one were to summarize it.
Even the gods themselves had to revere their own divinity and authority.
When a god lost his reverence for his divine title, even if he didn't fall, he would never be able to touch the threshold of a higher level.
In other words, while Xi Wei always felt that he was a shitty game producer, he would only be the God of Fight the Landlord for the rest of his life if he kept messing around like a shitty game producer and wouldn't stop until he destroyed the game.
The Dead Red Dragon's Crusade did not drop a Legendary item directly because the Players had acted too quickly and Xi Wei didn't have time to craft that item before they killed the Dead Red Dragon.
After taking over the dragon's corpse, Xi Wei thought about it for a long time before he finally decided to craft a Legendary item for mages.
He first extracted the dragon's soul and plucked out its lungs that hadn't completely rotted away, scraping out a lot of phlegm mixed with corpse oil, which he refined and condensed into a high-purity phlogiston gem. Then, using the red dragon's tibia as the main material and the leftover scraps of the Drakosaurus and the Barren Giant, he molded it into the shape of a wand and embedded the phlogiston gem at the top.
"The last is to infuse the soul!" Xi Wei muttered as he tore the dragon's soul in two with his tentacles, keeping the half that was filled with erratic and mutated divine power as a snack while stuffing the pure half into the phlogiston gem, literally 'infusing the soul'.
The gem that housed the dragon's soul shone with a wondrous radiance that shone through the jade-like frame of the wand, finally forming a silhouette that resembled a rising flame. It appeared extraordinarily beautiful and a hint of danger.
"It actually has special effects, as expected of the one I made …"
Xi Wei nodded in satisfaction. "Since it has such a flame-like silhouette and the trait of flickering as if it's breathing, I'll call you Happy Flames."
Having finished crafting the Legendary item, Xi Wei threw it into the Golden Prize Pool of the World Prize Pool, intending to see which lucky person could draw it.
Aside from that, Xi Wei was sincerely happy with another outcome of the event.
It was the tons of mutated divine power he obtained from the bodies of the Undead Orks and the Dead Red Dragon.
Although Xi Wei still couldn't figure out where the mutated divine power came from or what it was like before it changed, he realized that he could create divine flames similar to the First Flame after absorbing the First Flame. In turn, such divine flames (or a replica of the First Flame) could incinerate mutated divine power, turning it into purer and absorbable divine power — the divinity and authority that the mutated divine power originally carried was purified by the divine flame.
It should be mentioned that the reason it was' purer 'instead of completely pure was that the divine power that was burned would have some attributes of the divine power of fire.
To put it simply, it was similar to the divine power of the God of Flames, with the only difference being that the mutated divine power was ownerless and Xi Wei could absorb it as well.
That being said, even as Xi Wei absorbed the mutated divine power, the originally small portion of Flame Authority in his body rapidly grew as if it had been pumped with Jinkela.
"Damn it. If this goes on, wouldn't the God of Flames simply shake hands with the Fire Thief and team up to beat me up first …"
Once he remembered how the God of Flames envied the Thief and relentlessly pursued Flintman for five hundred years, Xi Wei immediately felt a chill over his ball skin.
No, he couldn't absorb all the mutated divine power purified by Divine Flame.
Relying on his considerable self-control, Xi Wei stopped his desire to absorb more divine power before his Authority of Flame grew to a certain level, stopping his absorption of deviant divine power.
"There's still so much divine power left. It's not like I'm going to have any offspring if I keep it … If that's the case, I might as well create a new class for the Players …"
