"System, I know you're here, don't hide and stay silent!"
"Show yourself now!"
At this moment, Wu Chen was still trying to call out the silent game system.
"!!!"
Upon hearing Wu Chen's words, the Evil Eye Demon King Xi Tong's pupils suddenly contracted, and it drew a cold breath.
This guy is terrifyingly perceptive!
Despite hiding so well, I was still discovered?
The Evil Eye clan's proud ability to traverse the void, once reaching the Demon King level, was almost undetectable and unbreakable among demon-kind, except for witches whose pure magical power could warp space, as if they were using cheat codes.
Other demon clans had been slaughtering and suppressing the Evil Eye clan partly out of fear that they might produce a Demon King-level entity.
But my own proud void traversal was directly countered without him even looking in my direction?
Most importantly, the opponent actually knows my true name!
In the traditions of the Evil Eye clan, only the partner one plans to spend their life with is told their true name.
Even a master who is loyally served would not be informed of the true name.
"Your method is impressive, sir, to see through my proud void traversal technique."
Since being discovered, and even having my true name called out, I can only reveal myself. There's no point in continuing to pretend.
"!!"
Wu Chen heard a voice from behind and turned around, startled, nearly jumping out of his seat.
What the heck! Where did this huge eyeball come from?
Wait, this figure looks familiar—could it be the top subordinate of the Desire Witch, the Evil Eye Demon King Xi Tong?
Wu Chen was quite familiar with the Evil Eye Demon King.
This was a notorious boss in the game, well-known to everyone.
The Evil Eye Demon King's boss level strength was exactly the maximum combat power that game players could achieve directly.
The game is notoriously unbalanced, with power levels soaring exponentially from a certain point onward.
For example, characters like the Desire Witch could one-shot anyone for 999,999 damage, far beyond even the reach of paying players and top gamers.
The Evil Eye Demon King was the ceiling for dungeon bosses that could be defeated by a 30-player team without using human army, legendary mages, world items, goddess barriers, or super-large forbidden spell magic facilities.
Other boss characters, even if only slightly stronger than the Evil Eye Demon King, were not simple bosses that could be defeated by just a player's team.
Thus, the Evil Eye Demon King became what players jokingly referred to as the "combat power unit."
For example, the classic Desire Witch's combat power was roughly equivalent to 9999 Evil Eyes, the Mermaid Princess's was about 10 Evil Eyes, and the Dragon Queen's was about 25 Evil Eyes, etc.
In the game, insults about teammates' poor skills often included comparisons like having combat power equivalent to only 0.00001 of an Evil Eye.
"Forgive my curiosity, but how do you know my true name?"
"True name? Did I say your true name?"
Wu Chen scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Wait, could it be because "System" sounds similar to "Xitong"?
Even without the similar sound, Wu Chen actually knew its true name.
After all, back when playing the game, the name "Evil Eye Demon King · Xi Tong" was directly displayed on the game panel.
"Hmph, knowing my true name and still pretending not to know? It seems necessary to force you to reveal the real reason… Hmm!?"
On one hand, it was to force the opponent to tell the truth, and on the other hand, it was to follow the witch's orders and test the opponent's strength.
The Evil Eye Demon King was preparing to release all it's magical power and pressure, but when it saw the colorful, visually stunning Lord of the RIngs necklace around Wu Chen's neck, it froze.
"W-What! One, two, three… How do you have so many divine artifacts!?"
The floating giant eyeball suddenly began to sweat profusely and trembled all over.
While it did not recognize the object as a wedding ring, it could still discern the aura of divine-level items.
Moreover, each artifact was heavily imbued with both witch and goddess auras.
The goddess aura was the original source, but the witch's aura was predominant, clearly indicating that these divine relics had been corrupted into witch artifacts.
For a witch to corrupt an artifact and turn it into a witch's evil tool, she would have to carry it for a long time and expend a great deal of power. Even a slightly weaker witch might not achieve this.
Have you stirred up a witch's nest?
"Oh? What do you want me to reveal?"
Wu Chen, with his hands behind his back, feigned indifference as he looked at the floating giant eyeball.
His wedding ring was ineffective against the Evil Eye Demon King. With a casual attack, the opponent could easily kill him.
Damn it! I should have married off all of Litia's subordinates too!
By the way, is this giant eyeball male or female? There were no gender labels on the game panel back then.
"N-Never mind… Uh… I just remembered I have something else to attend to. I'll be going now. See you later, bye~~"
The giant eyeball blinked and vanished at light speed, slipping into the void.
Leaving.jpg
What a joke, the owner of so many divine artifacts easily saw through its void traversal and even spoke its true name. How could it possibly be a match for this guy?
Trying to test him with an attack would be ridiculous.
It's like an ant trying to test the strength of an elephant!
It didn't even need to attack; it could tell that this seemingly weak human was incredibly strong!
Wu Chen: Compliment me more! I love it!
"Huh? Why did this guy leave? I was thinking of whether I should call my wife for help."
Wu Chen, gripping the Lord of the Rings necklace, sighed in relief.
Although the wedding ring's [attribute sharing] was currently unusable, each ring had a special skill retained.
For example, Litia's ring had [shared senses], and he had another witch's wedding ring skill called[companion summoning], which could automatically summon his wife or teleport to her side in a crisis.
However, using it could either teleport him to another witch's home or bring that witch to Litia's house. Either way, it looked dangerous.
Meanwhile, the giant eyeball emerged from the void and returned to Litia's side.
"Master, I-I'm back…"
The Evil Eye Demon King panted heavily, looking like it had narrowly escaped death.
The once proud demon king, "above all demons, below the witches," now appeared as pitiful as a frightened little animal.
"How did the test go? Tell me quick!"
Litia hurriedly asked.
"Report, Master. The opponent's strength is unfathomable. I am completely no match for him!"
