Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Under Zhang Yue's explosive output, supported by his pets, wave after wave of cat demons fell like harvested crops.

Facts proved: cat demons without the [Charm] skill were indeed easier to kill than fox demons.

Yesterday, it took an entire afternoon to collect enough demon energy to create a single golden Demon Sealing Talisman.

Today, however, from 11 a.m. to just past 9 p.m., Zhang Yue had already gathered enough energy for two golden Demon Sealing Talismans.

With over half an hour remaining before the return to the Divine Realm, Zhang Yue crushed the two talismans in his hand simultaneously.

["Ding~ You have used a Golden Demon Sealing Talisman. Congratulations, you have received the following rewards: EXP +50,000,000, Gold +500, Rare Pet Egg x1, and equipment [Beast Control · Demon Guardian] (Level 66, 9-star gold attribute)]

["Ding~ You have used a Golden Demon Sealing Talisman. Congratulations, you have received the following rewards: EXP +50,000,000, Gold +500, Rare Pet Egg x1, and Rare Skill Book [Thunderstorm]]

A golden light enveloped Zhang Yue from above.

Previously, through killing cat demons, Zhang Yue had leveled up to 65. Now, he successfully advanced to level 66.

["Ding~ Congratulations on leveling up! Current level: 66. Next level requires 120 million EXP]

The newly acquired [Beast Control · Demon Guardian] was a pair of leg guards from the same series as the previously obtained [Demon Slayer · Evil Vanquisher]

However, while Demon Slayer · Evil Vanquisher increased monster damage by 60%, Beast Control · Demon Guardian reduced damage received from monsters by 60%.

Together, they made a perfect monster-killing combo.

Zhang Yue immediately equipped both items on the spot.

Both his attack and defense attributes saw a significant increase:

Magic Attack Power: 20,495 → 24,850

Physical Defense: 8,580 → 10,890

Magic Defense: 8,451 → 10,555

Among the rewards, the Golden Demon Sealing Talismans also gave Zhang Yue a truly exceptional item:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Thunderstorm] (Rare Skill Book)

Grade: D

Effect: Infuses a weapon with the power of lightning, increasing the next thunder-element skill's damage by 5% for 5 seconds.

Mana Cost: 510

Cooldown: 5 seconds

Class Restrictions: Mage, Beastmaster

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"Another rare skill."

For Zhang Yue, who already had the lightning-based skills [Thunderous Wrath] and [Storm of Thunderclouds], this [Thunderstorm] was absolutely a treasure.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue poured millions of energy points into it, upgrading the D-grade [Thunderstorm] directly to the S-grade Grasp of Thunder.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Grasp of Thunder] (S-grade)

Effect: Infuses a weapon with the power of lightning, increasing the next thunder-element skill's damage by 100% for 5 seconds.

Special Effect: Grasp of Thunder can stack. If no thunder skill is used within 5 seconds of activation, activating Grasp of Thunder again will increase the next skill's damage by 200%, stacking up to three times.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"What a powerful effect!"

For a skill to earn Zhang Yue's recognition, it had to be exceptionally strong.

He immediately learned the S-grade Grasp of Thunder.

Eager to test its power, Zhang Yue activated Grasp of Thunder.

Zzzzz!

Blue lightning crackled and danced along the staff in his hand.

After waiting 5 seconds, Zhang Yue cast Grasp of Thunder again.

Bzzt!

The lightning became even more intense.

Five seconds later, he activated it once more.

["Ding~ Grasp of Thunder effect has stacked to the maximum (3 layers). The next thunder-element skill's damage will increase by 300%]

The staff in Zhang Yue's hand was almost bursting with energy, ready to explode.

He locked onto a cat demon in his line of sight.

"Sorry, little one."

BOOM!

Swinging his staff, Zhang Yue unleashed an S-grade Thunderous Wrath, summoning a devastating bolt of lightning that struck the cat demon.

-765,072!

The level 67 cat demon, which only had 680,000 HP, was instantly obliterated.

It was overwhelming.

If this effect were applied to the SS-grade AOE skill [Storm of Thunderclouds], the result would be even more terrifying.

Looking at the time: 9:30 p.m.

Zhang Yue opened a portal to the Divine Realm and returned.

At this moment, participants from all nations were feasting on delicacies and enjoying drinks in the [Temple].

Zhang Yue joined the merriment.

In one corner of the massive temple, a few Cold Nation participants lounged with their legs crossed, watching Zhang Yue while whispering.

"That's the guy who became Dragon Nation's top player this year and supposedly soloed the Eastern Nation team this morning."

"Hah! Does he look impressive to you? Just a scrawny Beastmaster. If anything, it proves how trash the Eastern Nation team is!"

"Dragon Nation's total score isn't far behind ours. We need to suppress them in this match, or our third-place ranking might be at risk."

"Let's challenge them!"

"They've already challenged Eastern Nation. It's too late this time, but next time, we'll crush Dragon Nation early!"

After a peaceful night in the Divine Realm, the second match began at 10 a.m. the next day.

———

As the livestream feature was enabled, viewers from all over flooded into the players' streaming channels.

Snacks ready, they eagerly awaited the match.

Some nations with preset opponents took their positions, while others awaited the system's arrangements.

For Dragon Nation, the opponent was once again Eastern Nation.

This time, the participants from both sides stood 10 meters apart.

At the forefront of Eastern Nation's team, Inoue Kojiro arrogantly made a throat-slitting gesture toward Dragon Nation's players.

Zhang Yue responded with a calm smile and a middle finger.

At exactly 10 a.m., all participants were teleported to the arena.

[First Phase: Monster-Slaying Competition]

Zhang Yue entered the first randomly assigned map, Ancient Battlefield, alongside 29 other Dragon Nation players.

The Eastern Nation team was expected to enter shortly.

However, outside the arena, Inoue Kojiro was spotted in the waiting area.

Dragon Nation's participants, also in the waiting area, were shocked.

"Wasn't he supposed to compete with Zero in the first phase? Why didn't he enter?"

"He's playing dirty?"

Inoue Kojiro sneered, "As your Dragon proverb says: all's fair in war."

"I used a simple trick to lure Zero into the first arena. He won't be able to participate in the next two rounds. In the third phase, I'll crush you all."

"And don't expect him to achieve much in the first phase—everything is within my grasp."

In the arena, Zhang Yue showed no surprise upon learning that Inoue Kojiro hadn't entered. It seemed he had anticipated this.

Or rather, it didn't matter to him where Inoue Kojiro was.

Zhang Yue chose the first arena simply because it offered better points.

Meanwhile, Inoue Kojiro was confident of Eastern Nation's victory.

Their strategy remained the same: assign stealth assassins to focus on Zhang Yue and steal his kills.

Believing Zhang Yue had fallen into his trap, Inoue Kojiro smirked at the screen, "Zero, if you can kill ten monsters in ten minutes, I'll take your surname!"

As the match began, Eastern Nation's assassins activated their stealth skills, quietly approaching Zhang Yue.

Unhurried, Zhang Yue locked onto the massive [Ancient Beasts] scattered across the battlefield.

Before the match, he had already stacked Grasp of Thunder to its maximum (three layers).

Lifting his staff, a surge of immense lightning energy flowed through its tip.

Summon: Hell Skeleton King!

WHOOSH!

S-grade Endless Taunt activated, spreading an enormous taunting aura. Dozens of Ancient Beasts roared in anger, charging at Zhang Yue en masse.

This sight left Eastern Nation's viewers dumbfounded.

"What is he doing? Is he crazy? Pulling so many monsters at once!"

"I've seen five-man teams take on three or four monsters, but one person pulling dozens? This guy's overestimating himself!"

Inoue Kojiro sneered, "Arrogant fool. Does he think monsters are as easy to kill as players? He's doomed!"

Even Eastern Nation's assassins hesitated to approach, fearing the swarm of beasts.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue stood calmly as the monsters charged.

Just as spectators thought he would be trampled, Zhang Yue swung his staff.

Storm of Thunderclouds!

BOOM!

A massive black hurricane materialized, unleashing countless bolts of lightning that struck every Ancient Beast in range.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each target took three consecutive hits of 350,000+ damage, wiping out the entire swarm!

Shattering darkness with lightning.

["Ding~ Dragon Nation participant [Zero] has killed 37 Ancient Beasts. Honor Points +370]
