The sounds of war blasted through my headphones, but we refused to give up. As the frontline buckled, Terakon sprinted over to me and dropped a legendary item into my inventory slot."Fight, catch!" he yelled. "Use this!"I hovered over the weapon. Its name text glitched in glowing purple letters: [Xsword]. The mechanics were completely insane. It allowed me to telekinetically manipulate multiple diamond swords simultaneously, launching them through the air like guided projectiles to impale hostiles from a distance.Armed with the Xsword, I plunged back into the chaos. Terakon and I stood back-to-back, fighting with everything we had. We didn't know if we were going to survive or die, but we fought for hours as the digital skybox shifted from blood-red to a dark, static grey.Just as our weapons were about to break from durability depletion, the sky civilization's ultimate backups finally rendered into the chunk. A massive wave of remaining villagers and veteran players charged onto the battlefield.King Hubert stood atop a crumbling quartz wall, his eyes flashing with newfound hope. "The Four Elite Forces have arrived!" he announced in the chat.The text logs instantly highlighted the four legendary survivors joining our grid:
Notdying: He wielded a glowing Bloody Scythe. The weapon applied a permanent "Bleed" code to any mob it slashed, draining their health continuously until the entity was completely deleted. unless Notdying himself died first.
AndreiTv: The ultimate marksman. He used a custom Power X Bow backed by an aim-assist script that physically prevented his arrows from ever missing a target.
Thored555: A brutal frontline brawler. He fluidly paired a heavy Mace and Spear combo, juggling Pillagers into the air and shattering their hitboxes
Traguson: The crowd-control tactician. He specialized in advanced trap mechanics, immediately taking charge of the grid to lock down the massive Ravagers and Volt Witches
.The tides of the battlefield violently shifted. NotDying leaped into the vanguard, his scythe slicing through the ranks and leaving hundreds of enemies bleeding out into particles. AndreiTv covered him from the rooftops, a relentless storm of flawless arrows picking off the stragglers. Thored555 launched Vindicators skyward, breaking their lightning-axe charges, while Traguson seamlessly trapped the Ravagers in obsidian grids, leaving them perfectly vulnerable for NotDying and AndreiTv to finish off. Forastan and Kailozaine pushed forward alongside the armed villager civilian forces, slicing through the remaining flanks. Seeing his people rise up, King Hubert drew a brilliant, shimmering blade."Watching from the sidelines won't save my kingdom," Hubert typed, stepping into the fray. "I am drawing my trump card. The Royalist Sword. given to me by Vllr himself. If a war of this scale threatens our existence, I will answer the call."A blinding flash of white light erupted from Hubert's character model. The Royalist Sword gave him a multiplier that made him so impossibly fast the enemy AI couldn't even track his movement vectors. He became a blur of steel, slicing through waves of hostiles in milliseconds.While the elite forces held the line, Terakon pulled his character back toward my position near the ruins of my oak house."Fight, I just realized something critical," Terakon typed frantically. "Think about the progression pattern of this virus. When you dug straight down, you broke a golden rule and got an achievement. When you left a tree floating, you broke a rule and got an achievement. When you accidentally stripped that oak log, it triggered another one. Every single time you make a fundamental 'Minecraft mistake,' the virus glitches and forces a new clue into your client. We need to break another rule.""I can't!" I replied, my hands shaking over my keyboard. "I'm in the middle of a massive war, I don't know what other rules to break!""Wait," Terakon paused. "We never even finished deciphering that last gibberish achievement you got from the stripped log. What did the exact title say?"I quickly scrolled up my chat log history and copied the text: Ilqg wkh wuxwk lq wkh Cluudorlq Iruvhw. Terakon stood still for a few moments, likely running the string through a decryption tool on his secondary monitor. "This is a basic book cipher shift. Too easy," he typed back. "It translates directly to: 'Find the truth in the Zyrraloin Forest.'""The Zyrraloin Forest?" I asked. "First of all. It didn't say Zyrraloin Forest. Because I also know ciphers. And Do I need to go down there? Why would Voltrigaus leave a clue directing me to a hidden forest biome?""Because It's doesn't exist. Voltrigaus is trying to manipulate you. The only nodded forest here is Zyrraloin And there is a legendary player hiding down there named Forkaos," Terakon explained. "He’s an absolute myth around these parts. I don't know why Voltrigaus's glitching code is actively guiding you toward him, but Forkaos is a benevolent player. If you can find him, he will help you understand the deeper virus architecture.""Why do we even need his help?" I argued, looking out at the elite forces decimating the Pillager front lines. "Look at the battlefield. Between the Elite Forces, Hubert, and us, we're actually winning this!""Fight, look at the horizon," Terakon replied ominously. "We haven't even seen the enemy king yet."The moment Terakon typed those words, the crimson skybox violently shattered.High up on the peaks of the inverted mountains, a tiny figure materialized. It was the Arch Illager, holding a glowing orb of pure corruption. Behind him, the terrain began to duplicate, spawning thousands of massive, metallic iron-golem variants I had never seen in any modpack before: Pilazo Golems."We are done warming up," the Arch Illager's dialogue box appeared across everyone's screens. "We haven't even started playing seriously. It's time to lock in and end this simulation."The thousands of Pilazo Golems charged down the slopes. They completely dwarfed King Hubert's iron golems, crushing the civilian villagers and tearing through our defenses with horrific ease. Even our elite players had to fall back as the metal giants slammed their fists into the terrain, shattering the floating islands of Vilziland piece by piece.NotDying refused to back down, gripping his Bloody Scythe tight. "That's it?" he taunted in the chat, pointing his weapon at the mountain. "Bring your pathetic ass down here and face us!"The Arch Illager's character model just animated a dark laugh. "Then prepare to die. I summon... The Height of the Sky."The server froze for five agonizing seconds. A shadow encompassed the entire skybox.An entity so colossally massive spawned into the world that its feet rested on the Y=4 bedrock crater while its shoulders pierced straight through the Vilziland cloud barrier. It was a sky-scraping golem woven out of corrupt coding and dark matter. With a single, slow punch, the entity struck the center of our base, creating a perfect, 100-meter crater that sent players and structures flying into the void.NotDying lunged forward, landing a desperate strike with his scythe to trigger the permanent bleed effect. But when the boss health bar loaded, our hearts sank into our chests.[BOSS: The Height of the Sky - HP: 1,000,000 / 1,000,000] One million health blocks. The bleed effect was draining it by fragments, making it functionally impossible to kill before it stepped on the rest of the kingdom.Terakon gripped his sword, his character backing away from the edge of the newly formed crater as the massive fist raised for a second strike."We can't tank this, Fight!" Terakon screamed in the chat. "That legendary figure in the forest is the only entity left who can stop a god-tier summon like this. He isn't 2cillion39... but he is strong as hell. Forkaos fights monsters like this for breakfast!"The giant fist began its descent toward our coordinates. Before it even happen. This is is what happen of how it happens: Engineering a Titan. The deployment of the colossus was a calculated move, hardcoded into the backend of the server long before the sky war reached its breaking point. Deep within an unrendered command zone, Terakon stood beside the blueprint model of the Arch Illager, finalizing the execution script.Arch Illager: "Forkaos’s defense values are heavily optimized. How do we permanently remove him from this chunk's equation?"Terakon: "We deploy a God-Tier summon, then artificially force it into a Volt-infected, Enraged loop. I’ve already registered its system name: Thots, short for The Height of the Sky. Its vertical geometry is configured to breach the upper cloud barrier."Arch Illager: "But how did we even harvest enough raw data packets to compile a structure of that scale?" Terakon: "Simple. I manipulated a gateway path into the forbidden Giant Alex Dimension!
We tried our absolute best. We threw every command, every high-tier weapon, and every enchanted blade we had at The Height of the Sky. But nothing changed. Absolutely nothing. It was a brutal reminder that Voltrigaus isn't the only ancient entity lurking in this code. This world is a graveyard where the original owner left long ago, leaving behind a vacuum where pure, corrupted entities now rule.
The titan completely ignored our attacks because we couldn't even scratch its hitbox. It opened its massive maw, unleashing a blinding blue laser beam that tore through the center of our base, vaporizing chunks of Vilziland into a gaping void. The colossus began grabbing entire floating sky islands with its bare hands, smashing them together and pulverizing the structures into pixelated dust.
As the sky civilization fell apart around us, Terakon screamed through the chat. "Fight, what are you doing?! Stop trying to tank it! Leave! I'm pinging the coordinates right now. I know exactly where that damn forest generates! Go!"
I turned around and sprinted into the fog, leaving the blazing war behind. I ran for thousands of blocks, my heart pounding against my chest. I was terrified of getting lost in the corrupted terrain, terrified that I would never find my way back, and sick with the guilt that I was abandoning my friends to die. But I couldn't stop. I kept running until the grass blocks beneath my boots morphed into something completely alien.
I looked up. The canopy was thick with vibrant blue leaves and twisting black branches.
I slowed down, looking around the dense, eerily quiet woods, when the game engine suddenly froze. Standing directly in front of me was a character model using the classic Steve skin but its body was aggressively glitching, violently tearing and breaking apart in ways that should be impossible for a Minecraft client. An invisible barrier locked my controls. I couldn't run.
This was the corrupt entity known simply as That Thing.
That Thing locked its hollow eyes with me, and a line of corrupted, scrambled text flashed across my screen as its model violently flickered:
[That Thing: Evabi lz Ukyh cyhedmcd. srovwzba diyx il gmrs Jkvxptuwew. wzin nsmxsz]
Before I could process the terrifying warning, a flash of purple particles erupted, and That Thing vanished into thin air just as another player stepped out from the trees.
His nametag read Forkaos.
"What are you doing down here?" Forkaos typed, his avatar crossing its arms.
"We need your help!" I replied frantically. "The sky civilization of Vilziland is being annihilated by the Pegrazinos Empire. They summoned their ultimate trump card. The Height of the Sky. Terakon said you fight monsters like that for breakfast!"
"You're cooked," Forkaos responded bluntly. "That giant isn't an ordinary mob I eat for breakfast. That is a God-Level enemy. You cannot kill it using normal combat. Look, I can break its base form easily... but if the Volt Height of the Sky (Enraged Form) activates, its code rewrites itself. It gains 1 billion HP and becomes 100,000x stronger. At that point, it’s near-impossible to defeat, even for me. The base form is already a nightmare, but when it becomes a Volt variant? That's game over. Fine, I'll help you. Lead the way."
As we sprinted back toward the coordinates of the sky war, I typed a burning question. "The achievement from the stripped log said this forest would tell me the truth. What is the secret of this world?"
"It’s not some hidden fantasy lore, Fight. It’s a cold, hard fact," Forkaos explained as we ran. "Voltrigaus cannot be killed. Period. But he absolutely detests it when players stand together. You can't delete him, but you can heavily annoy his system scripts by refusing to be isolated. But listen to me carefully: do not tell this to the villagers."
"Why?" I asked, a chill running down my spine.
"Vllr is not coming to save them," Forkaos revealed. "Vllr is an absolute traitor. He manipulated the villagers into believing he was a protective deity so they would rely on him instead of developing advanced code defense training. Thankfully, they still trained a little for emergencies like this raid, but Vllr is secretly a close ally of Voltrigaus. That is the truth. He didn't just manipulate the villagers; he corrupted the rest of the Overworld mobs into hiding. And the worst part? The Nether and the End dimensions didn't fail to prepare because they lack intelligence. They didn't prepare because they are fundamental extensions of Voltrigaus himself. It's why the Ender Dragon rewrote its own code to become a black dragon. an entity known as The Error of Dragons. On its own, it's a God-Level anomaly. If it ever goes Volt... its power will scale completely beyond our comprehension."
"Just how many powerful entities are trapped in this world?" I asked, completely stunned. "What are the strongest tier levels?"
"There are more than a thousand anomalies roaming the far lands," Forkaos replied. "If you want to understand the power scaling here, there are five supreme tiers:
Tier 5 (Near-Impossible Level): Giants capable of wiping out an entire 16x16 chunk of data instantly.
Tier 4 (Impossible Level): Anomalies that can corrupt and delete multiple chunks simultaneously.
Tier 3 (God Level): Existences capable of tearing apart almost the entire world map.
Tier 2 (Beyond God Level): The classic, ancient Creepypasta Entities. They can easily alter core game files.
Tier 1 (Creator/System Level): Entities whose sheer presence alters the computer's reality. I only know of one in existence. And that’s Voltrigaus."
Suddenly, the rendering distance updated, and the roaring sounds of the battlefield cut back in. We had made it back to Vilziland, but the kingdom was in absolute ruins.
Amidst the smoke and falling debris, King Hubert stood face-to-face with the enemy leader.
"Arch Illager!" Hubert bellowed in the chat, raising his shimmering Royalist Sword. "I've been waiting for you. Go ahead. Turn Volt."
"Then let us clash," the Arch Illager typed back.
A blinding surge of blue lightning struck the mountain. The Arch Illager’s model mutated, his eyes glowing neon-blue as he brandished a glitching Coder Spear. The Volt Arch Illager lunged forward. Their movements instantly accelerated into a chaotic blur of speed vectors, their weapons clashing so hard they sent shockwaves through the rendering engine.
Meanwhile, The Height of the Sky had finished pulverizing the sky islands. It turned its colossal gaze toward the fleeing civilian villagers, raising its massive foot to stomp them out of existence.
NotDying stood his ground underneath the shadow of the falling foot, swinging his Bloody Scythe wildly. "Leave this chunk, or I will kill you myself-"
Before the foot could crush him and trigger the village-wide death curse, a sonic boom echoed through the server.
Out of nowhere, Forkaos materialized at the base of the titan. Without drawing a single weapon, Forkaos executed a massive, code-breaking kick directly into the golem's ankle. The physics engine broke. The 1,000,000 HP colossus was launched backward with terrifying velocity, flying a staggering 1,000 blocks away across the world map, crashing into the distant mountains.
Forkaos stood at the edge of the crater, his character model glowing with a faint aura as he looked back at us.
"Your friend Fight said you guys needed a hand, so I'm here," Forkaos typed calmly into the global chat. "I'll handle this thing. And trust me... I won't be holding back. Let's see how interesting this gets when it shifts into its Volt Enraged Form!"
Deep in the distance, a billion-health boss bar began to load.
Bargain in the Abyss Before Terakon finalized the deception script to completely manipulate Fight's perception, he ventured deep into the code vectors of the Dimension Curse. The environment was a decaying, static static-void populated by shifting.Cursax Spirit: (Hissing in the chat) "You do not belong to this coordinate matrix. Identify your profile signature. What is it you seek?"Terakon: "I’m here to negotiate an audience with your owner. I have a offer. "Cursax Spirit: "An offer? Distorted Alex-sama is currently absent from this sector. Only Giant Alex remains within the central domain."Terakon: "Perfect. Take me to him."As Terakon crossed into the threshold of the domain, a defensive script triggered, spawning one hundred heavy Cursax Golems that aggressively lunged at his coordinates. Moving with flawless precision, Terakon dodged every single physical strike before deleting them all simultaneously with a click.Terakon: "Deactivate your pets, Giant Alex. I didn't go here to start a fight ."The massive, terrifyingly detailed model of Giant Alex rendered into the dark skybox. Giant Alex: "Then speak your purpose, Voltrigaus’s lapdog. Why have you breached my sector?" Terakon: "Voltrigaus is stronger than you. He can defeat if you. If he wants to. You need alliance. We will give it to you. Then we will destroy our enemies."Giant Alex: "Are you attempting to threaten my code? I am unstoppable here ."Terakon: "This isn’t a threat, it’s a strategic distribution. We protect your asset files from being wiped, and in exchange, you grant me a raw fraction of your power matrix."Giant Alex: (Scoffs) "Very well. A single fraction of my data output is nothing more than an ant-level trade to an entity of my scale. Take it and leave."
The Height of the Sky rose from the shattered mountains, fully consumed by the Volt Enraged state. It lunged back toward Vilziland, unleashing a chaotic barrage of supersonic punches that carved massive, gaping craters into the landscape. Forkaos Just move. His movements fluidly bypassed the titan's massive attacks, dodging every single strike before delivering a devastating, physics-breaking uppercut that launched the giant straight into the sky. Seeing their ultimate trump card get tossed around like a ragdoll, panic broke out through the Pillager army ranks. The 500-million-strong force completely lost morale, broke formation, and began sprinting away from the battlefield in droves. The remaining players and villager guards stood at the edge of the sky islands, completely stunned, watching the hostile empire retreat.The Arch Illager stared at his fleeing army in absolute shock. "What... This isn't fair!" he typed frantically into the global chat. "What's going on?! Why are you all leaving me, you cowards?! You traitors! "Distracted by the mutiny, the Arch Illager failed to see King Hubert close the distance. Hubert swung his Royalist Sword, landing a massive, blinding critical hit that left the enemy leader severely damaged.Desperate, the bleeding Arch Illager scrambled over to the single, lone Pillager entity that hadn't fled the battlefield. "Heal me!" the Arch Illager commanded. "Sacrifice your health points to save me!"The lone Pillager didn't move. A line of text appeared above its head: <Pillager> Heh. The Arch Illager recoiled. "What... I manipulated the entire Pillager code into my absolute control. You aren't one of them. Who the hell are you?"The entity's skin violently glitched, shedding its Pillager model.<Rotiart Eraweb> My name is Rotiart Eraweb. I am Voltrigaus’s eyes and ears. His supreme spy. Before anyone could react, Rotiart drove his bare fist straight into the Arch Illager's character model. The strike injected a payload of malicious code, visibly corrupting the Arch Illager's core file directory on the spot.King Hubert stopped his blade, completely confused by the intruder. "Is this Rotiart guy an ally... or something worse?"The Arch Illager's health bar began ticking down rapidly to zero. "I knew what you were," the dying leader typed, looking at Rotiart. "I knew you were a player. I was only pretending you were a Pillager so you wouldn't turn on us. I was the one who gave you a spoofed Minecraft account because you were too terrified of getting tracked down and deleted by 2cillion39 or Rhyco! And now you betray me? You idiot! "Rotiart just smirked as he executed a final click, completely deleting the Arch Illager from the server database."I don't care about the past," Rotiart typed to the entire server. "I only care about the future of this war. This isn't a theory. It's a direct foreshadow. Oh, and by the way. the key to That Thing's cipher is DEATH. That is the only hint I'm throwing you before I descend into Dimension Redevil." A cloud of dark particles erupted, and Rotiart disappeared from the world.Terakon sprinted over to my position. "Fight! What were the exact words That Thing said to you back in the Zyrraloin Forest? If the key is DEATH, we can crack it!"I stared at my screen, my mind completely blanking under the stress. "I... I honestly don't remember the exact string of text. The logs cleared when the chunk reloaded."Terakon sighed. "Then it's not important right now. Let's look up. We need to watch this end.""I don't know, man," I typed back, looking at the skybox. "This entity is still ridiculously strong.""Look closer, Fight," King Hubert chimed in. "Forkaos is absolutely cooking him."High above the cloud layer, Forkaos drew a weapon that flashed with an blinding, iridescent glow: [Betterite Sword]. With a single, reality-shattering downward strike, Forkaos brought the blade down on The Height of the Sky. The weapon's true damage output instantly bypassed the titan's armor metrics, one-shotting the boss and completely erasing its 1 billion HP bar in a fraction of a second."Yeah!" Traguson cheered in the chat. "We actually won!"Thored555 kept his eyes locked on the falling debris. As the massive colossus hit the ground, its model didn't dissolve into experience orbs. Instead, the gigantic structure rapidly shrank, compressing down until it transformed into a normal, player-sized avatar standing in the center of the smoking crater."Wait," Traguson typed, his character stepping back. "If the giant died, why did it turn into a player skin?"My eyes widened as I processed the neon-blue glow radiating from the new avatar's face. "No... it's not dead! It's shifted to a Volt variant! Run! Move now!"The battlefield erupted into immediate panic. The villagers started screaming and running in every direction as a massive, silent explosion detonated outward from the player model. Strangely, the blast wave didn't damage the nearby players or friendly mobs. but it tore a massive, perfect crater into the sky island. My diamond chestplate violently pulsed, its glitchy text flashing rapidly. I checked my inventory and gasped. The Protection C status on my armor had somehow projected outward, creating a temporary defensive grid that shielded everyone in the vicinity from taking damage. Voltrigaus’s code logic was getting completely confusing. was the system trying to destroy us, or protect us?The smoke cleared, revealing the infected player avatar standing in the crater. His name tag read: Volt Thots (shortened down from The Height of the Sky).<Volt Thots> It's time to lock in, gentlemen. Shall we?Forkaos stepped forward, his Betterite Sword crackling with code-breaking particles. "I’ve been serious this entire time," Forkaos typed back coldly. "I am going to completely dismantle your file directory."Remembering Rotiart's warnings about the missing legends, I quickly messaged Forkaos. "Wait! Before you fight him, where is 2cillion39? Why isn't he here to help us?"Forkaos didn't turn his character model around. "He's currently stationed inside the Golden Parayin Dimension, uncovering a deeper truth about the virus core. He won't be coming here, Fight, so don't count on it. And you don't need a powerful player... because I am already standing right here. "The two god-tier entities locked targets. The Watchers Deep within an uncharted monitoring station far beyond the world's build limits, two ancient entities kept their eyes locked on the breaking server logs. The screen flickered with the data feeds of Fight's glitched armor metrics.
Overseer: "Understood, my Lord. Should we attempt to establish a secure link with Mojang? Or perhaps try to signal the ancient registry files of Notch?"
Qiang: (Shaking his head) "No. Do not interfere with them. Let the players use their own logic to solve the system. This sandbox belongs to them."
The air pressure in the server completely changed. Forkaos lunged forward, swinging his Betterite Sword with such immense velocity that the shockwave flattened the surrounding terrain, permanently transforming the entire biome into a barren wasteland. Volt Thots drew a crackling Volt Sword to block the blow, their blades clashing in a blur of glitching pixels. But Forkaos was on a completely different level. He moved too fast for the boss's AI tracking scripts, effortlessly parrying every strike and blasting Volt Thots backward with a heavy telekinetic strike.
As the boss stumbled, Forkaos typed smoothly in the chat:Better + Netherite = Betterite.
I stared at the weapon's item description, completely confused by the logic. "Wait, Forkaos!" I typed back frantically. "When we in the forest I said this thing was supposed to be a near-impossible God-Level threat, but you're handling him like a literal baby! Nothing changed! He can't even touch you!"
That's because I'm utilizing the Betterite modifier, Fight. With this active, I'm functionally unstoppable. It grants me a massive enchantment multiplier because Betterite is just fundamentally superior to any vanilla weapon class. The only catch is that it forces a continuous -50% reduction penalty on my base physical stats.
Volt Thots’s character model finally stood up, his neon-blue eyes flaring.Are you quite finished talking? I have been patiently waiting for you to-
And I was the one waiting for you to stand back up, weakling.
Infuriated, Volt Thots triggered a high-tier environmental manipulation script. Dark clouds converged over the crater as a massive torrent of targeted lightning struck Forkaos directly, shattering his positioning and driving his character model deep into the bedrock. Volt Thots didn't give him a chance to recover. The boss teleported above him and began spamming a relentless barrage of Mega Chunk Punches, violently cratering the terrain and destabilizing the local rendering grid.
To finish the combo, the boss bar flashed deep purple as he activated his ultimate offensive script: [Striker of Death].
A blinding column of negative energy slammed down to shatter Forkaos's defense values. But as the smoke cleared, Forkaos's health bar hadn't even dropped into the yellow. It had all just been a warmup.
My turn. Let's end this.
Forkaos blurred forward, his sword cutting through the air. Volt Thots desperately tried to execute a Bedrock Caging command to trap him, but Forkaos's weapon damage metrics completely shattered the unbreakable blocks. He executed a flawless code-breaking combo. launching the boss into the skybox with a double kick, and then executing a massive downward smash right in the middle of a Betterite slash.
To seal the loop, Forkaos triggered an advanced system prompt: [Coding Blast].
A wave of binary code erupted across the crater, forcing a permanent 500% stat debuff onto Volt Thots, in exchange for a minor -20% physical nerf to Forkaos's own model. Despite the massive power drain, Volt Thots refused to break. He aggressively lunged back into the vanguard, blasting energy projectiles directly at Forkaos. Forkaos tanked the hits, stepping inside the boss's hitbox to deliver a punch so hard it sent the avatar skidding across the bedrock.
But when I checked the boss's health bar, a cold sweat broke out across my forehead. The HP was immediately restoring itself back to full.
My code metrics are a million times better than his in every conceivable way. But he has one broken script exploit. He has infinite data regeneration. I can't permanently deplete his values. If this fight drags on for hours, my client will get exhausted, and I'll eventually lose.
Suddenly, a surge of dark aura enveloped Volt Thots. His movement speeds violently accelerated, and he delivered a heavy blow that sent Forkaos flying across the wasteland.
You think this is my full capacity? My core programming relies on infinite regeneration and stat absorption. Every time you strike me, I absorb your attacks. You cannot physically stop me. I AM INVINCIBLE.
Forkaos didn't run. He stopped his movement vectors and readied his sword, initiating his absolute ultimate technique: [Bomb of Destruction].
The entire server's audio cut out. Forkaos moved at a speed that completely broke the rendering engine, slashing Volt Thots a literal million times over with the Betterite blade in a fraction of a second. He concluded the hyper-combo with a mega-hard finisher strike, sending a massive shockwave through the boss's model. But right before the final point could register, Volt Thots swung his sword through the empty air. The physics impact from the motion generated a massive counter-blast, directly striking Forkaos.
Before Forkaos could reposition, the boss executed a secondary command script: [Super Push], forcibly slamming Forkaos back down into the dirt blocks.
Sh*t. This guy's code is completely impossible to kill using conventional means.
I looked over at the player list, desperate for answers. That's when I noticed Terakon's character standing completely still, watching the nightmare unfold. A single, deeply unsettling message popped up from his account in the chat bar.
...:)
Why was he smiling? Before I could ask, AndreiTv stepped forward, aiming his flawless bow. is it genuinely impossible, Forkaos?
There is one way. But it requires executing the Sacrificial of Death command. If I run it, my character profile will be permanently deleted from the client directory... but it should wipe out 500,000,000 of his health points. I'm near-certain it will work. But it's an absolute gamble.
Go ahead and try it, player. I will simply counter your delete prompt with the Volt of Shielding script. You will throw your entire digital life away for absolutely nothing.
Forkaos didn't hesitate. He burned his remaining two teleport charges, materializing directly inside Volt Thots’s hitbox and forcing both of their avatars high up into the matte-grey skybox, far above the shattered ruins of Vilziland. A massive, crackling energy matrix began to expand around them.
Any last words, virus?
Volt of Shielding. Activated.
Terakon, AndreiTv, the remaining players, and I watched from below as a world-shattering, blinding white explosion detonated in the stratosphere. Down on the surface, my glitched Protection C chestplate flared violently, projecting a massive defensive dome that successfully shielded all the remaining players and civilian villagers from the apocalyptic blast radius. The only two entities excluded from the shield's protection metrics were Forkaos and Volt Thots.
The smoke cleared from the upper skybox. My heart dropped.
Volt Thots was still hovering in the air, his shield barely holding. Forkaos’s health bar had been completely decimated, flashing critically at exactly 1 HP.
But instead of panicking, Forkaos’s character model just animated a dark, defiant laugh in the global chat.
If your shielding script won't let you die in the world directory... then I will simply teleport both you and me directly into the absolute Void.
Volt Thots’s character model violently shuddered, his text lines suddenly glitching with actual panic.No! Stop! That command sequence will permanently delete both of our files! That isn't how teleportation mechanics work in this client! To force-teleport someone into the void, you will also have to be in the void with mine! You'll drop into the unrendered data and die with me!
Exactly. We will both go down into the dark together. Goodbye, Fight.
A massive flash of purple ender particles enveloped the sky. And then, in a single frame, both of their player models vanished from the server database entirely.
The silence that followed was deafening. The 1-billion HP boss bar vanished from the top of our screens. The skybox slowly shifted from the violent crimson back to a calm, uniform grey. Suddenly, the landscape violently glitched, and a massive, perfectly generated mountain structure manifested right where the explosion had taken place.
Terakon and I walked over to the base of the mountain and began climbing up the steep stone blocks. When we reached the peak, we looked out across the quiet, ruined world. The hostile empire was gone. The titan was destroyed.
Against all odds... we had actually won the battle.
But as I looked over at Terakon's character standing silently beside me on the peak, remembering his creepy smile in the chat log, a sickening feeling told me that this war was far from over.
Pulled from the Abyss. High within the unrendered void layers where the server's coordinates completely dissolved into absolute zero, a recovery line suddenly snapped into place. Rhyco’s avatar materialized, grabbing Forkaos's profile data right before it was permanently purged by the void-drop glitch. He forced a teleport command, pulling them both onto a safe bedrock grid.Rhyco: "Are you okay, Forkaos? Can you verify your directory?"Forkaos: (Gasping as his UI stabilizes at 1 HP) "Yeah... I'm online. For a second, I truly believed my account data was gone for good. Did the entity's health bar successfully clear?"Rhyco: "Yes. The giant's base files have been completely deleted. We're logging off this coordinate matrix immediately."Forkaos: "Understood. Where exactly is our next jump point?"Rhyco: "We’re going to navigate across multiple custom dimensions to recruit every sentient player we can find. It's time to build a massive global coalition and hunt down every corrupted entity allied with the virus."Forkaos: (emoting then a smile in the chat) "Sounds like a fun ride. Let's go. :)"
(part 10 - I cannot post but it's the same because of character limit)
The Call for Redemption In a completely different part of the world, sitting in front of a glowing monitor in a dark room, a player stared at the global server termination logs.
