["Ding~ Welcome to the World 19 Soul Ferryman BOSS Challenge Domain, please slay the world BOSS!"]
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Two beams of white light simultaneously rained down, Zhang Yue and Athena descended into a vast open domain.
Ahead, a massive beast-form ghost appeared in their vision.
It was the [World 19 BOSS: beast·Arano]
"beast, Arano, formed by the spiritual power gathered from Soul-Devouring Beasts that died in the World 19, grade is 20 stars, magic-type BOSS, specializes in summoning beasts to attack enemies."
Obviously having done her homework beforehand, Athena calmly analyzed as she stared at the BOSS ahead, "It can infinitely summon beasts, so to defeat it, we must not entangle too much with the beasts, but instead directly target the BOSS as the final objective."
After quietly listening to Athena finish speaking, Zhang Yue nodded, "Alright, got it."
"Then let's make it quick."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yue raised his transcendent staff, blinked, and instantly appeared within the BOSS's effective attack range.
ROAR!
The BOSS let out a roar, intending to summon a beast army.
Zhang Yue acted before it could move, waved his staff, and swiftly cast spells.
Thunder Wrath!
Shattered Thunder!
Thunder · Lightning Dance!
Voidless · Godslaying Curse!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
-310 million!
-32.58 million! -32.58 million! -32.58 million...
-360 million!
-360 million!
A total of over 1.3 billion damage instantly emptied the health bar above the BOSS's head.
["Ding~ Congratulations! Your teammate [Zero] has slain the world BOSS beast·Arano. Based on your performance, you have received a 30% guaranteed participation reward: EXP +3 billion, Energy +24 million!"]
Behind him, Athena, who hadn't even had a chance to act, was clearly stunned for a moment.
The next second, she came back to her senses, "I almost forgot, you're the Zero God who can solo even pseudo-king level BOSSes..."
Thinking about how she had just seriously explained the features and strategy of the world BOSS to Zhang Yue, Athena couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Before absolute strength, people simply don't need any strategy...
Instantly killing the world BOSS, thus cleared the World 19.
After that, the two simultaneously began their journey in the World 20
———
["Ding~ Welcome to the World 20: Endless Abyss, world missions are being issued!"]
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
White light rained down, Zhang Yue and Athena appeared in a spacious plaza.
In the Otherworld, the online location is determined by the login location.
Although Athena was a Bear Nation professional, she logged in from Dragon Nation's side, so she ultimately appeared within Dragon Nation territory.
It's just that her identity is still Bear Nation, that part does not change.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Endless Abyss] (World 20)
[Background: Beneath the city lies the abyss, endless ferocious beasts lurk in this bottomless dark abyss. If the continuously spawning beasts in the abyss are not cleared in time, one day they will break through the abyss and invade humanity's last city. Professionals, please enter the Endless Abyss, hunt the beasts, and protect humanity's last city…]
[World Mission 1: Please clear at least thirty floors within the World 20]
[World Mission 2: Please achieve at least ten perfect clears]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
As for the World 20, there was also a nickname.
Called: [If You're a Man, Go Down 100 Floors of the Abyss]
This nickname came from a Lighthouse Nation netizen who created it on a whim many years ago. Who would have thought, after posting this title online internationally, it suddenly became a hit.
Afterward, the World 20 gained this nickname...
And the origin of this nickname is actually because the Endless Abyss has a total of 100 floors.
With each floor a professional descends, the challenge difficulty increases.
To this day, no one in the world has cleared all 100 floors of the abyss. The historical highest record is only 93 floors.
That record was set by a professional from the Lighthouse Nation.
As for Zhang Yue, one hundred floors of the abyss, that is his goal.
There might just be a unique reward waiting for him.
A hundred years ago, as Asura, Zhang Yue only managed to clear up to the 80th floor.
At the time, with Zhang Yue's strength, he could have kept going.
It's just that the deeper you go, the harder it becomes, and the more time is required to clear each floor.
In order to clear the Otherworld faster, Zhang Yue couldn't afford to waste too much time in one world, so he ultimately chose to give up.
That professional from the Lighthouse Nation who set the 93-floor record reportedly spent three months to achieve that feat.
Spending three months of time in one world.
Unless you're weak and simply can't clear this world's floors, otherwise putting that much time into one world is a waste.
Currently, Zhang Yue and Athena were located in the World 20 safe zone: Abyssal City.
Beneath the seemingly peaceful city lay the Endless Abyss.
It was solely thanks to this city suppressing the abyss.
At this moment, many Dragon Nation professionals were coming and going inside the city, discussing strategies for the Endless Abyss with one another.
When everyone's gaze unintentionally landed on Zhang Yue and Athena, they couldn't look away.
"That's… Zero God?"
"Whoa! Zero God has come to the World 20! Finally saw the real Zero God, so handsome!"
"Who's that white girl next to him? That figure, those snow-white long legs… I'm in love!"
"Could she be Zero God's foreign girlfriend? With looks that divine, probably only Zero God is worthy!"
"She seems to be from our allied nation, Bear Nation, right? In yesterday's World 19 battle against the Seven Nations, I saw her in the livestream. She represented Bear Nation and led troops to support our Dragon Nation."
"Truly a talented man and beautiful woman, makes others envious!"
Zhang Yue paid no attention to the gazes of others.
Athena, on the other hand, very politely responded to the greetings of passersby.
"A very polite lady!"
Athena, with her outstanding figure and looks, along with her gentle and elegant demeanor, won the favor of countless citizens.
Zhang Yue's attention was never on the beauty.
At this moment—
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Several streaks of golden light rained down from above Zhang Yue's head.
After reaching the World 20, the level cap for professionals increased from 110 to 115.
At the same time, all the accumulated experience from the World 19 was released, causing Zhang Yue's level to instantly rise by 5 levels, from 110 directly soaring to the current maximum level: 115.
Previously, ten floors of the Ghost Tower in the World 19 were cleared with all SSS ratings, beast tide at disaster level was broken through, and a pseudo-king level BOSS was solo killed.
With all the generous experience rewards stacked up, rising 5 levels at once was within Zhang Yue's expectations.
If not for the level cap limitation, if all the extra experience had been released, Zhang Yue could have continued leveling up to at least 117–118.
The extra experience was all assigned to his pets.
Because pets only require 20% of the EXP to level up.
Once the EXP that could have taken Zhang Yue to level 118 was released, it instantly boosted the levels of Armageddon Black Dragon, Ice-Sealed War God, Cherry, and Apex Predator, all the way up to level 115.
Next up, it was time to begin the assault on the Endless Abyss.
