I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1659: Chapter 1660: Pursuit and Kill Chapter 1659: Chapter 1660: Pursuit and Kill With the release of the new expansion pack, many deities that had fallen were given a chance to rise from their ashes, while those who had reigned supreme for thousands of years were suddenly brought down to mortality, becoming powerhouses in the Legendary Realm.

The resurrected deities only received an opportunity to cultivate anew, and their emergence remained unnoticed. After the launch of the expansion pack, they would hide in the shadows, silently accumulating power.

However, those deities cast down to the mortal world still possessed the strength of the Legendary Realm, and their Divine Flame and divine status remained intact, making their chances of ascending back to godhood incredibly high.

At the same time, these deities with only the strength of the Legendary Realm became targets for all to hunt. It was known that killing them would grant one their complete Divine Flame and divine status, allowing the victor to usurp their godhood. Such temptation was not something everyone could resist.

Therefore, those deities who had fallen to the earth dared not even contact their own followers before amassing enough strength. Considering that even beings of the Legendary Realm could now be slain, these deities were careful not to test their worshippers lightly.

The “Brutal God” Uthodir was originally a beast that ascended to divinity, taking the form of an immense crocodile. After becoming a divine being and due to his brutal nature, he mastered the laws of brutality. By a stroke of luck, he ignited his Divine Flame and gained a divine status, becoming a lesser deity, equivalent to an early-stage boss of a divine level.

The followers of Uthodir were also brutal monsters that reveled in slaughter and combat, preferring to kill their enemies in the most cruel ways possible and then consuming their corpses as food.

Such a Brutal God did not have many followers, and his character flaws led to him being the first among the fallen deities to be exposed.

The now early-stage Legendary Realm Brutal God became succulent prey in everyone’s eyes, not just the players but also the natives of the game world. Those powerful beings who had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Legendary Realm for hundreds of years, too, saw the hunting of fallen deities as the final straw for their breakthrough, displaying a madness even greater than that of the players.

…

At that moment, in the depths of Crocodile Bay, a massive humanoid creature with a crocodile’s head sat on a large stone chair. Shirtless, with a dark gold cloth skirt tied at the waist, its muscles bulged, exuding explosive strength.

Its body was covered with scars from swords and other melee weapons, as well as traces of burns from magical elements like fire and lightning. On its thigh, there was a palm-sized, purplish-black scar emitting a faint black aura, clearly the result of a powerful poison that had yet to be completely eradicated.

“Damn it, so many hunters think they can defeat a true deity just by banding together–how naive!” Uthodir growled as he tugged at a thick limb, gnawing on it voraciously.

As he feasted, some of the minor wounds on his body began to heal slowly, but many others remained festering and unhealed.

Even having fallen to the mortal world and become an early-stage Legendary Realm boss, Uthodir was not so easily killed. At that moment, he could be regarded as a World Boss, possessing strength that ordinary Legendary Realm powerhouses did not have.

After consuming the essence within the arm, Uthodir casually tossed the remaining limb aside and raised his right hand.

Boom!

A mass of dark gold flame appeared in his palm. Uthodir’s eyes revealed a pained expression. With clenched teeth, he pressed the dark gold flame fiercely onto the toxic wound on his thigh.

Sss~
The sound of flesh burning echoed, and Uthodir’s mouth twitched slightly while his eyes grew more ferocious. The dark gold flame was the Divine Flame that he had painstakingly condensed. Devoid of resources, he had no choice but to use the Divine Flame to treat the most severe injury on his body.

However, Divine Flame was a resource that, once used, diminished, and was incredibly difficult to replenish. For Uludir now, it was a non-renewable resource. Unless it was an extremely serious injury, it was reluctant to use Divine Flame for healing.

Just then, a whiff of wind carried the voices of distant hunters, causing Uludir’s expression to change abruptly.

“There are traces it left behind, hurry up and chase; it must be just ahead…”
“Wow, truly worthy of being a deity, even though its strength has diminished so much. But out of over a dozen Legendary Realm experts, including two at the pinnacle of Legendary Realm hunting it, it still managed to kill half of them and escape. It’s truly ferocious…”
“Hmph, now its Vitality Points are at most only half left, with no healing methods available. As long as we move a bit faster, we can kill it and obtain the true divine status…”
“Hehe, a real deity, who knows what equipment it will drop. What do you think, could there be divine artifacts dropped?”

“Definitely, even though they are in the Legendary Realm, their strength can’t be viewed as just any Legendary Realm creature’s, there must be divine artifacts dropping!”

…
The words of the hunters made Uludir’s face look more and more unsightly. The brutal killing intent that shone in its eyes was almost tangible. At this moment, it wished it could immediately turn around and kill all those who were chasing it.

But after hesitating for a moment, Uludir raised its head and let out a low growl, continuing to flee deeper into Crocodile Water Bay.

By this time, Song Jian had already reached the edge of Crocodile Water Bay, which is actually a vast and boundless swamp, with complex terrain and high-level monsters. Usually, very few players come here to grind and level up.

However, the number of BOSSes in Crocodile Water Bay is much higher than in other places, and some Elite Teams occasionally come here to hunt BOSSes for high-quality equipment.

Since the news of Uludir’s appearance in Crocodile Water Bay was released, more and more Legendary Realm experts had appeared in this swamp, and some players proficient in tracking, based on the traces found, had even located Uludir.

But Uludir’s strength far exceeded everyone’s expectations. Although it was only at the early stage of the Legendary Realm, its past existence as a deity meant its Combat Power was extremely strong. Not even a group of over a dozen Legendary Realm experts was a match for it.

Over the past few days, Uludir had to fight at least two or three battles every day, and before long, it might become the first deity to be exhausted to death!

Boom~
Another loud noise rang out, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, accompanied by the frenzied howls of Uludir.

“Got you!” A girl holding a one-handed Magic Staff in one hand and a dark red orb in the other, with an excited look in her eyes, muttered to herself as she gazed at the wounded Uludir in the distance.
