Chapter 762: The Eternal NPC
The game world around him, constantly fading and being born anew, suddenly came to a halt.
Yuzuri Takuhaku held the gradually cooling body of Yuzuri Heizhe, witnessing the blood bar above his head reach zero, his name dimming…
He stood frozen in place.
“Father…” he murmured, cradling the corpse of Yuzuri Heizhe.
He didn’t know what it felt like to lose someone; he only knew that his heart felt empty, heavy, and painful.
This was the first time he had witnessed the end of a life.
And that life… was his father.
He looked at the unfamiliar, aged face in his arms and, for some reason, memories of the first time he met that spirited middle-aged man flooded back into his mind.
He wore a flashy sequined suit, a withered rose tucked into his waist, and approached him with a smile.
“Hello, I am Japan’s number one host, Kyosuke.”
He said that being a host was a profession that helped people solve their troubles, and he did just that.
During this time, Yuzuri Takuhaku was genuinely happy, happier than ever before.
He experienced countless great games, met someone who could play with him, enjoyed delicious curry pork cutlet rice that Kyosuke made himself, and stayed up late to conquer numerous levels together…
Throughout this period, Yuzuri Takuhaku realized that Kyosuke didn’t really know how to play games and hadn’t played many; it wasn’t his hobby…
But for Yuzuri Takuhaku, he would secretly go online to copy others’ commentary and the next day recite it to Yuzuri Takuhaku with an air of pride.
Perhaps, as Anqing Yu said,
He was special to Yuzuri Takuhaku.
So, he didn’t need to doubt that Yuzuri Heizhe… was indeed his father.
“Father…” Yuzuri Takuhaku spoke softly, “Please… stay by my side forever.”
The game world around him, constantly fading and being born anew, suddenly rolled back, enveloping the corpse of Yuzuri Heizhe in his arms. Countless data and panels emerged from the void, preserving the image of this man, forever fixed in every game world of Yuzuri Takuhaku.
Ancient martial arts games, sci-fi games, magic games, pixel games…
In 3,291 game worlds, the image of a tall, majestic middle-aged man appeared simultaneously. He wore a flashy sequined suit, a blooming red rose at his waist, his hair meticulously styled, standing in the center of each game world, smiling ahead.
Above his head, in the void, a panel quietly floated:
“Japan’s number one host—Kyosuke;
The greatest father in the world—Yuzuri Heizhe.”
In reality, Yuzuri Heizhe was already dead.
But in the game, Yuzuri Heizhe remained forever by Yuzuri Takuhaku’s side as an NPC.
This was the only thing Yuzuri Takuhaku could do.
Yuzuri Takuhaku took a deep breath, the brilliant cross-shaped stars in his eyes gradually dimming. The game worlds around him began to fade, and he ultimately found himself standing back on the street.
In the pitch-black night sky, lightning flashed repeatedly, and the deafening roar of explosions echoed from afar, as the center of the city was reduced to ruins.
The distant flames illuminated Yuzuri Takuhaku’s profile. He turned slightly, looking toward the source of the explosion.
Under the night sky, a gigantic deep blue beast rampaged through the city!
“Gods… [Pure Land]… Oracle…” Yuzuri Takuhaku gazed in that direction, a chilling killing intent surfacing in his cross-shaped eyes,
“You all… deserve to die!!”
…
Under the pitch-black night sky, a ferocious deep blue beast roared as it plummeted from the clouds.
Boom—!!!
The entire Tokyo trembled violently, thick smoke spreading from the beast’s landing site, engulfing the city center in dust.
Rumbling lightning crackled in the air as Lin Qiye, dressed in a black trench coat, stood amidst the ruins, frowning at the deep blue beast rising nearby, roaring at the sky.
“Qiye.” Shen Qingzhu approached with Jiang Er in a ghostly state, his expression grave as he looked at the beast, “What do we do about that thing?”
Lin Qiye opened his mouth to say something when the thunder beast lifted its head, sniffing the air as if searching for something.
Then, it suddenly turned its head, fixating on a direction, and shot out like lightning, smashing through a large area of magnificent buildings, charging toward a specific point.
In that direction, not far away, Bai Li Pangpang’s expression changed.
“Damn it, it’s really coming this way!” Bai Li Pangpang’s mouth twitched, and without a second thought, he grabbed the madman Cao Yuan beside him. The black and white energies beneath his feet transformed into a massive Taiji diagram, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
The thunder beast, carrying endless lightning, crashed from the center of Tokyo to the western edge, piercing through countless buildings and houses, causing them to collapse with a thunderous roar.
The thunder beast halted, raised its head to sniff the air, and upon realizing Bai Li Pangpang was still alive, fury flared in its eyes once more.
It turned around, its fearsome maw slowly opening, endless thunder surging from the void, gathering and compressing in front of it until it formed a crimson thunderball.
Roar—!!!
The thunder beast roared, and the crimson thunderball transformed into a blinding beam of light, sweeping through the surroundings in an instant.
The explosive sound echoed beneath the night sky, and in a flash, the pitch-black Shinjuku area turned into a sea of flames, a scene of devastation.
With just one roar, it destroyed nearly half of Tokyo.
Amidst the raging sea of fire, the deep blue beast trampled through the ruins, its body flickering with lightning, like a transcendent beast from the divine realm, looking down upon the mortal world.
In the distance, beneath Tokyo Tower.
The imprisoned calamity, trapped in a cage of vitality, watched this scene with a look of intoxication in his eyes.
“Did you see that?” the calamity rasped, producing a strange, piercing sound, “This is the might of the gods! This kind of power is a height that we humans can never reach in our lifetime…
This is a miracle!”
Beside him, Lin Qiye calmly observed the invincible thunder beast in the distance. After a moment, he slowly spoke:
“Humans can never reach this height in their lifetime?
You… truly are a bunch of bumpkins.”
The calamity’s brows furrowed immediately.
…
The black and white energies manifested, and Bai Li Pangpang, along with the madman Cao Yuan, flickered out in another direction.
“That scared the hell out of me…” Bai Li Pangpang glanced back at the Shinjuku area turned into a sea of flames, feeling a bit of lingering fear, “Why is this thing so vengeful? It has no sense of measure at all…”
Roar roar roar—!!
The thunder beast instantly locked onto Bai Li Pangpang’s position again, a blinding light gathering in front of it, an energy wave of immense destructive power radiating outward.
