Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

The massive damage exceeding 6 million instantly caused the 120 million total HP of King Pier to drop by 4%.

Though this might not seem much, here's a simple comparison: at this stage, a newly advanced professional hitting an ordinary Level 70 monster with a single skill would deal 4–5% damage to its HP. This is considered normal damage.

However, Zhang Yue's opponent here is a Level 70 Emperor-level BOSS—a rank far above leaders, ordinary bosses, and even God-level bosses.

Using 50% of the damage, Zhang Yue converted it into a Void Shield.

In just an instant, the shield of Skeleton King, which was nearly broken, was restored to full strength.

Next, the Skeleton King used various defensive skills to maintain himself and continued to attract Pier King's aggro with taunts, practically begging to be attacked.

To be honest, of Zhang Yue's three "sons," the Skeleton King, being the eldest, was the first one created. However, his combat ability is now the weakest.

The Epic-level Skeleton King was equipped with 8-star trash gear, making him utterly unimpressive.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, the Skeleton King's [King's Ghostly Armor] triggered its special effect: [Tactical Counter].

Tactical Counter allows the Skeleton King to reflect 100% of the damage he takes back to the attacker.

As a result, while King Pier dealt over 400,000 damage per strike to the Skeleton King, he himself suffered equal reflected damage.

It was as if every time he slapped the Skeleton King hard, he slapped himself just as hard in return.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue continued to bombard with overwhelming firepower.

Of course, without the three-layer Thunder Grip buff, Zhang Yue's normal damage output wasn't nearly as high as the earlier 5 million damage.

Most of his regular SS-level skills only dealt 500,000 to 600,000 damage.

However, his thunder-element skills could deal up to four times that amount.

This was due to the combined effect of the Thunder Force set skill and the Epic artifact Thunder Ring, which further increased thunder-element skill damage by 300%.

Subsequently, Zhang Yue maintained a 70% hit rate in his attacks.

The Emperor-level BOSS's agility was simply too extraordinary.

Compared to Inoue Kojiro, the newly crowned champion of the Eastern Nation, Pier King was at least a hundred times faster.

Not to mention, King Pier's battle sense was highly advanced.

Whenever he broke free from the Skeleton King's taunt, he would immediately target Zhang Yue.

Yet Zhang Yue, with T0-level control skills, managed to evade King Pier's assaults with extreme precision while using the Void Shield to defend himself.

At the same time, Zhang Yue summoned the Armageddon Black Dragon and the Shadow Predator to attack King Pier simultaneously.

Although the Armageddon Black Dragon excelled in group battles, its slower reaction time made it less effective against an agile, high-skill opponent like an Emperor-level BOSS.

The splash damage effect only triggered when an attack landed, but hitting Pier King was incredibly difficult.

At this moment, it was the Shadow Predator that made the most significant impact.

Both Pier King and the Predator were speed-based entities.

If Pier King was akin to the Flash, then the Predator was like the Reverse-Flash.

The two zipped around like streaks of lightning, sparks flying as they clashed.

The Predator, with its naturally high speed, gained further boosts after advancing to the Legendary level and unlocking the special effect [Shadow Blade] (each critical hit increases attack speed by 15% and movement speed by 10% for 10 seconds; stacks up to 10 times for a total of 150% attack speed and 100% movement speed).

This allowed it to match King Pier's speed completely.

As a single-target burst attacker, the Predator relentlessly stabbed at Pier King from behind.

One critical hit after another, each dealing close to 1 million damage, kept flashing above Pier King's head.

This battle was entirely the Predator's show.

Its attack frequency surpassed even its master Zhang Yue.

Even the Mythical Armageddon Black Dragon was left feeling inadequate.

At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret.

"If I had brought all five 5S-level Enchantment Stones that Moon Mark gifted me..."

Although Zhang Yue knew defeating King Pier was just a matter of time with his current strength, having 5S-level Fire Enchantment Stones with their +500% attack and +300% penetration effects would have made the fight significantly easier.

Thanks to the Void Shield's robust sustain, Zhang Yue stacked damage using his ultimate skill, Voidless: God-Slaying Curse, firing it every 9 seconds.

The damage steadily increased: 830,000... 1.08 million... 1.41 million... 1.83 million...

With each successive cast, the skill's damage increased by 30%, making it the ultimate BOSS-killing move.

This battle proved that Emperor-level BOSSes were twice as strong as their God-level counterparts.

But Zhang Yue's strength was far beyond Emperor-level BOSSes.

Meanwhile, outside the Gate of Eternity.

Inoue Amano and several veteran professionals of the Eastern Nation stood waiting for news.

"Five minutes have passed since the anomaly appeared. That monkey from Dragon Nation must already be dead at the hands of the Emperor-level BOSS!"

"Our men haven't come out either. It seems they've also..."

Inoue Amano gazed at the gate's entrance and said, "For the glory of our great Eastern Empire, their sacrifices were not in vain."

"As long as Zero is dead, their deaths are worthwhile!"

Just as Inoue Amano finished speaking, an announcement resounded across the skies.

[World Announcement] (Eleventh World):

[Ding~ Congratulations to the professional [Zero] for slaying the Emperor-level BOSS [Hell Shadow Emperor Pier King]]

The smile on Inoue Amano's face froze instantly.

Professionals from the Eastern Nation in the Eleventh World were all stunned.

"He actually... killed the Emperor-level BOSS!"

"How did he do it? A rookie under Level 100 was able to rival an Emperor-level BOSS?"

In that instant, Inoue Amano staggered backward, almost falling to the ground in shock.

———

Inside the Gate.

Staring at the corpse of the Hell Shadow Emperor Pier King lying before him, Zhang Yue was thoroughly satisfied.

Slaying this Emperor-level BOSS had leveled Zhang Yue up three times, from Level 72 to Level 75.

Moreover, Pier King's corpse yielded a mountain of loot.

Zhang Yue quickly gathered it all.

Gold coins and top-tier materials were ignored.

His focus was on three pieces of equipment, two skill books, and one treasure.

The equipment included the assassin's weapon [Hell Shadow Blade], boots [Shadow Emperor Boots], and armor [Earth Emperor Battle Robe].

All three were Level 70 with 13-star quality.

Yes, they exceeded the highest-quality 11-star equipment Zhang Yue had encountered, leaping two entire tiers.

These pieces were absolute top-tier items.

Typically, one would only begin encountering 13-star equipment at around Level 85, yet these were usable at Level 70.

All three were assassin-specific equipment.

The two skill books, both SSS-level and incredibly rare, were [Shadow of Darkness] and [Body of Darkness].

This harvest was essentially tailored for the Shadow Predator.

Finally, there was a Legendary treasure, [Hell Shield].

This was undoubtedly an unprecedented bounty.

But such gains were within Zhang Yue's expectations.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bait the Eastern Nation professionals into serving as fodder to evolve Pier into an Emperor-level BOSS.

Of course, there was one more crucial item.

Zhang Yue picked up a divine stone shard next to Pier King's corpse.

This was none other than the Resurrection Godstone Fragment.
