"I'm going to become a god!"
Just as everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of the god Ares, an elf player rushed forward with lightning speed and hugged him tightly.
Upon contact with the external force, Ares instantly merged into the player's body, and the silver light quickly filled the entire ocean.
"Uh... what happened...? Ouch... that hurts..."
His vision gradually lost focus as scalding pain brutally pierced through his skin and bones, trampled over his flesh, and swept deeper into his body.
"I'm a player, you know!"
The player roared, instantly reducing his pain level to zero, and then threw a punch at Poseidon, who was already close to his face.
"Do gods bleed, Poseidon?!"
After disabling pain synchronization, he became incredibly powerful, unleashing a barrage of sweeping magical attacks, and for a moment, the two were evenly matched…
As the battle intensified, the remaining players retreated, and by the time the aftershocks reached the Divine Rank, most players had already left the affected area…
The news spread like wildfire through the live stream chat, and the players, in coordination with the native navy, accelerated their extermination of the mermaids…
The war between the two gods lasted for an unknown period of time. The player who had fused with the god Ares's divine power was quickly at a disadvantage in the duel with Poseidon due to a lack of combat skills...
This disadvantage didn't last long. As the terracotta warriors belonging to mermaids in the ruins were continuously destroyed, the ancient worship of the sea god gradually diminished... and the situation turned around...
"Pfft—!"
With the elf player punching Poseidon through the chest, the battle seemed to be over!
After the aftershocks subsided, everyone could finally see the situation of the two people at the core of the battle.
The golden trident pierced the player's heart, shattering Ares's divine essence on the spot, and he was automatically discharged from the test...
The violent and fierce aura dissipated, the corpses of the elven players scattered in the wind, while Poseidon was filled with confusion and bewilderment…
"Well..."
Amidst the violent tremors of the ocean, Poseidon coughed up a mouthful of golden blood, and then his divine body crashed heavily onto the seabed…
"Ah... what is this...?"
The body of the sea god struck Old Chen, who was sheathing his sword and preparing to retreat. The entire ocean fell silent at that moment, and the tsunami that had been pressing inwards also stopped...
"Settlement request event!"
At the same time, Dongfang Qing, who was floating in the sky watching the battle, immediately opened the Apocalypse.
[Calculating event points for the host...]

...
"Is it because I got involved... that's all they gave me after defeating the Sea God!?" Dongfang Qing was speechless for a moment, his cheeks bulging.
"Wait, what the heck is this service fee?!" His fingertips pressed against his soft lips, and a question mark slowly appeared in the back of his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your total event points have exceeded 300,000. A new feature in Apocalypse—Free Costume Change—is now unlocked!]
[The host can use event points to purchase all kinds of women's clothing! When the host matches tags such as "fragrant and sweet," "both cool and sweet," and "quirky and clever" in the anime, extra impression points will be awarded!]
[Impression Points will allow the host to grant the player the power they possess in the current world to travel to other anime worlds for adventures!]
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qing immediately forgot about the service fee, after all, she had been wearing her current short skirt for tens of thousands of years!
Biting his thumb, his gaze swept downwards, and suddenly his brows furrowed: "You're selling a Lolita dress for 60,000 points?! Are you fucking robbing people?"
No bargaining! The system is already broke...
"..."
Silence is Cambridge tonight…
[make a deal!]
Seeing Poseidon severely wounded, a large number of players wanted to rush forward to finish him off, but the sky suddenly cracked open, and countless brilliant golden lights poured down.
After completing his negotiations with the system, Dongfang Qing began to squander the points he had just acquired, spending 50,000 points to construct the divine realm of this universe…
"..."
As Dongfang Qing appeared in the sky amidst golden light, he was immediately exposed to tens of thousands of cameras.
Her silver hair brushed against the hem of her skirt, and she deliberately let a hint of helplessness show in her eyes. Then, biting her lip, she pointed towards the sea.
"puff..."
Poseidon, which had fallen into the depths of the sea, was pulled out by a force until it flew to Dongfang Qing's side, where he grabbed it by the scruff of its neck like a kitten.
"The matter of unification ends here! From this day forward, those who cultivate themselves to become gods shall not interfere in the human world!"
His cold tone carried an unquestionable authority, and a subtle, barely perceptible hint of contempt appeared at the corner of his lips.
All the players were stunned into place until Dongfang Qing dragged Poseidon back to the realm of the gods, and the shattered sky was healed once more.
At this moment, in the ocean depths, a rat staggered out of the shipwreck and scurried around aimlessly until it reached the spot where Poseidon had fallen earlier…
"Squeak..."
It drank the remaining golden blood, then its whole body convulsed and it vanished from the spot…
...
"Wow! You scared me! I thought we were going to fight the Creator God next!"
"I've seen that loli before! The one who gave Ye Feng a treat during the first closed beta! They even improved her model for the second closed beta! She's even more fucking beautiful!"
"What the hell is this 'optimized model'? It's just a change of hairstyle and an outfit, right? But... hehehe, that little expression is pretty smug..."
"Wow! My goddess! Please give me a spot!! I'll be your dog and lick your feet!"
"You want a spot but also want to lick my boots?! Don't try to take advantage of me! You're such a loser!"
...
The moment Dongfang Qing appeared, the various live stream rooms erupted in excitement. Most viewers, unable to resist the charm of a loli, became unrestrained and started talking nonsense as if they were addicted...
[Congratulations to all players for successfully completing the main quest! Damage is being tallied, and the rankings will be announced in 30 minutes!]
As all players received the system notification, the matter of the Creator God's appearance was quickly forgotten, and everyone began to hope that they could get a spot in the beta test.
In the battle of the Sea of Destiny, only about 1,400 players remained, and more than 80% of them were affected by the power of the Sea God, their magic power waning and their bodies mutating...
The symptoms continued to worsen, and as the battle came to an end, the players and soldiers began to clean up the mess on the battlefield.
Old Chen, who was half-dead from the impact, was quickly captured by the navy. After his magic corridor was imprisoned, he was bound with heavy iron chains.
