Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 57 Cross-Dungeon Speedrun Begins, Qin Wentian Spends Money to Climb to the TopThe matter of the Anti-Unscrupulous Alliance had just settled down for a few days, and players across the server were still gossiping about the disbandment of the Iron Blood Alliance when a sudden system-wide announcement popped up, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

[Server Announcement] The first ”gods domain: origin” Cross-Dungeon Speedrun event will officially begin in three days. All players can participate in teams to challenge the highest difficulty dungeon, [Space-Time Rift]. The team with the shortest clear time will be crowned champion and receive the server’s only SSS-grade artifact, [space-time judgment]. This artifact comes with special effects: Ignore Defense and Time-Space Imprisonment. Please check the official website for specific rules.

The entire server instantly exploded.

[Player ”Wocao Wuqing”: An SSS-grade artifact? The only one on the server? People are going to fight like crazy for this, right?]

[Player ”Brick-Moving Expert”: space-time judgment? The name alone sounds badass! Ignore Defense? Doesn’t that mean one-shotting everyone?]

[Player ”Invincible Sword God”: Don’t even think about it. An artifact of this level is definitely going to be in the pockets of the big guilds and whales. We solo players should just watch.]

[Player ”Milk Tea Without Sugar”: That’s not necessarily true. Brother Ye is here too. If he participates, who could possibly beat him to it?]

[Player ”Yes Little Follower”: Brother Ye must participate! Take the artifact and crush the Goryeo War God Temple!]

Lin Ye sat by the window, watching the excitement on the world channel with a wicked smile on his face. An SSS-grade artifact? Ignore Defense? Time-Space Imprisonment? This equipment was practically tailor-made for him. His Decay Debuff could reduce an enemy’s attributes to zero, but when facing opponents who also had defense-ignoring capabilities, he still had to rely on raw strength. The defense-ignoring property of the space-time judgment would perfectly cover his shortcomings.

”Brother, are you going to participate?” Fatty Wang ran up from downstairs, his eyes sparkling.

”I am. Why wouldn’t I?” Lin Ye said while cracking melon seeds. ”It’s the only artifact in the server; it would be a waste not to take it.”

Su Qinghan walked over, holding a document about the dungeon: ”The Space-Time Rift is at the highest difficulty. The mobs inside start at Level 50, and the final boss is the Level 60 Space-Time Overlord. It has five hundred thousand HP and skills like Time Stagnation, Time Reversal, and Parallel Clones. Since the server opened, no one has been able to clear it.”

Lin Ye took the document, scanned it, and laughed: ”Five hundred thousand HP? That’s just a matter of a thousand stacks of my debuff.”

”It’s not a matter of HP,” Su Qinghan shook her head. ”The Space-Time Overlord’s ’Time Reversal’ skill can reset its own state, including clearing all debuffs. Your Decay effect might be useless against it.”

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow: ”Resetting debuffs? Interesting. Then I’ll have to change my tactics.”

He thought for a moment, stood up, and walked to the window. In the distance at the Main City Square, many players were already forming teams. Recruitment ads from major guilds were flying everywhere, with shouts like ”Top ten player leading the team, looking for DPS,” and ”Need Healer and Tank, artifact shared upon clearing” rising and falling one after another.

”Fatty, sign us up. The four of us are enough.”

Fatty Wang nodded excitedly and ran off to register.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the main city, a figure was staring blankly at the system announcement. He was wearing a set of white-tier novice equipment, his level was only 35, and his ID was ”Heavenly Temple Qin Wentian.” He had quit the game several days ago; after smashing his gaming pod, he thought he would never return. But when he saw the words ”space-time judgment,” his heart still skipped a beat.

SSS-grade artifact. Ignore Defense. Time-Space Imprisonment.

If he got this artifact, could he turn the tables? Could he defeat Lin Ye? Could he rebuild the Heavenly Temple?
