Started with a 10,000x Multiplier in a Game World

The Magma Leviathan towered over the narrow stone bridge. It completely dwarfed the twelve-man squad.

The massive serpentine beast was forged of cooling magma and glowing purple tumors. It blotted out the ceiling of the cavern.

[Zone Boss Engaged: Magma Leviathan (Void-Blighted)]

[Tier: Celestial]

[Level: 80]

[HP: 70,000,000 / 70,000,000]

The sheer panic within the squad was absolute.

"Boss," Casanova stammered. He actively hid behind the massive pan of Mei. "I do not think my muscles are big enough to punch a skyscraper. And I am pretty sure it is immune to music."

"Maintain formation!" Sera ordered. Her voice trembled despite her best efforts to sound professional. "Garrick, do not drop the shield! Aria, keep the healing song playing!"

Dante didn’t turn around. He kept his eyes locked on the eyeless jagged head of the Leviathan.

"Aria," Dante commanded over his shoulder. "Drop the healing. Switch to [Hymn of Strength]. I need the damage multiplier."

"But the heat!" Aria squeaked, terrified. "The environmental damage will."

"Aura will cover the chip damage with her passive," Dante interrupted smoothly. "Give me the buff. Now."

Aria didn’t argue. She brought the wooden flute to her lips and began playing the deep resonant melody.

[Hidden Class Skill Activated: Hymn of Strength]

[Party Buff Applied: Absolute Empowerment.]

[Effect 1: Total Attack Power increased by 100%.]

[Effect 2: Grants a flat +1,000 True Damage to all offensive actions.]

[Effect 3: Critical Hit Rate locked at 100%.]

Dante felt the raw unadulterated power surge through his avatar. His base attack power skyrocketed.

But against the Leviathan, it meant absolutely nothing.

The system warning still flashed aggressively in his peripheral vision.

[Warning: The target possesses systemic corruption. All standard physical and magical mitigation is permanently set to 95%. Target ignores all True Damage and defense-penetration passives.]

Even with his attacks doubled and guaranteed to critically hit, the 95% mitigation of the beast meant Dante would be swinging a wet noodle against a seventy-million hit point mountain.

The Leviathan didn’t roar.

It opened its massive vertical jaws to prepare to unleash a continuous sweeping beam of void plasma that would instantly glass the entire stone bridge.

Dante didn’t brace for impact. He didn’t draw [Voidsever].

He gripped the heavy dark parchment scroll he had looted from Ryujin.

[Item Appraised: All Lives Are Equal Scroll]

[Tier: Saint Destroyer]

[Type: Ultimate Equalizer Consumable]

[Description: A highly restricted system-balancing artifact. Upon activation, the user targets a single hostile entity.]

[For exactly 30 seconds, the total Level, Base Stats, and Passive Mitigations of the target are forcefully reduced to perfectly match the current baseline of the user.]

[Bypasses all immunities, cosmic weight, and divine scaling. Limit: One use per scroll.]

"Let us see if the system actually enforces its own rules," Dante whispered.

He didn’t throw the scroll. He didn’t unroll it to read a magical incantation.

He crushed it in his dark purple gauntlet.

The heavy parchment shattered.

It didn’t explode into a flash of fire or a wave of concussive force.

A single massive blindingly bright image of a golden scale materialized in the air directly above the magma lake.

It was the universal symbol of absolute systemic balance.

The combat engine of the Zenith Protocol violently hitched.

The massive Level 80 Celestial boss froze mid-animation.

The void plasma building in its jaws instantly fizzled out, and the volatile energy was completely neutralized.

The golden scale in the sky tipped sharply, then leveled out to hang perfectly balanced over the cavern.

A blinding irrefutable beam of golden light shot down from the scale. It struck the Magma Leviathan directly between its eyeless brow.

[Divine Artifact Activated: All Lives Are Equal.]

[Target Engaged: Magma Leviathan.]

[System Override: Forcing stat parity.]

The text didn’t flash a warning. It simply executed the command.

The massive beast didn’t shrink in size. It still towered fifty feet over the bridge.

But the terrifying oppressive cosmic weight radiating from its corrupted scales completely and instantly vanished.

The system interface updated the stats of the boss in real time.

[Target Level reduced to: 72.]

[Target Maximum HP reduced to: 35,500.]

[Target Physical Mitigation reduced to: 4,200.]

[Target Magical Mitigation reduced to: 3,100.]

The entire squad stared at the glowing blue text hovering above the boss.

"Oh my god," Nyx breathed and adjusted her dark glasses in absolute disbelief.

"It actually worked. The scroll did not just debuff it. It literally copied your exact character sheet and pasted it over the raw code of the boss."

"Thirty-five thousand health," Casanova laughed hysterically and stepped out from behind Mei. "It went from a fifty-million HP raid wipe to a glass cannon!"

"Do not get cocky!" Sera snapped. "The boss still has its attack patterns and AoE mechanics! It can still hit us!"

"Not for long," Dante said quietly.

He didn’t celebrate the stat reduction.

He had exactly thirty seconds before the Saint Destroyer-tier scroll expired and the boss snapped back to its original invincible state. Thirty seconds to execute a Celestial entity.

He needed to make sure it didn’t move.

He held out his right hand, and the black brand on his wrist flared violently.

[Voidsever] materialized, and the primordial greatsword let out a low predatory hum as it tasted the massive concentrated cosmic energy of the debuffed boss.

Dante didn’t immediately swing the massive blade.

He activated the newest skill he had acquired. It was the ability he had unlocked by assimilating the essence of the sleeping bear in the crater.

[Skill Executed: Calamity - Sloth]

The jagged black blade of Voidsever didn’t glow. It didn’t release a massive flashy projectile.

A and completely invisible wave of absolute primordial lethargy pulsed outward from the sword. It washed entirely over the massive Leviathan.

The Zenith Protocol didn’t bother calculating resistance checks or checking immunity thresholds. The Calamity skill was a fundamental system-breaking override.

[Passive Triggered: Absolute Sleep.]

The Magma Leviathan didn’t roar. It didn’t fight the debuff.

The massive fifty-foot-long corrupted beast simply went completely limp.

Its heavy magma-plated head crashed heavily onto the stone bridge to send a shockwave through the squad.

The eyes of the beast closed, and its breathing slowed to a deep rhythmic rumble.

It was fast asleep.

"Thirty seconds on the debuff," Dante announced, his voice entirely flat and devoid of panic. "Thirty seconds on the sleep. The timer is perfectly synced."

He looked back at the squad.

"Hit it with everything you have," Dante ordered.

The squad didn’t hesitate.

Lila didn’t use [Gravity Well] for crowd control. The boss was already immobilized.

She raised her Dark Demon staff and began rapidly tapping the floor.

She chained incredibly destructive water geysers that erupted directly underneath the chin of the sleeping beast.

Sera deployed all three of her automated turrets.

She set them to maximum overdrive and drained her silver coin supply to fire hyper-compressed armor-piercing bolts directly into the corrupted tumors of the Leviathan.

Nyx didn’t attack personally. She commanded Violet, the Night Elf rogue.

The NPC vanished into the shadows and reappeared instantly on top of the head of the sleeping boss. She violently stabbed her poisoned daggers into the gaps in its obsidian scales.

Casanova triggered [Titan’s Physique].

He swelled into a seven-foot-tall bruiser, leaped onto the bridge, and rained massive bare-knuckle blows against the snout of the beast.

Mei didn’t use [Colossal Manifestation] to avoid knocking the squad off the bridge.

She swung the massive [God-Slaying Skillet] with terrifying rhythmic precision and treated the head of the boss like an anvil.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Because Aria was playing the [Hymn of Strength], every single attack from the squad hit with double damage and a guaranteed critical hit.

The damage numbers exploded in a massive chaotic cloud of red text.

[-12,000!]

[-8,500!]

[-15,000!]

[-9,000!]

The artificially compressed health pool of the Leviathan was melting.

[Boss HP: 15,000 / 35,500]

Dante didn’t join the immediate frantic assault.

He stood at the edge of the bridge and held [Voidsever] with both hands.

He was methodically and carefully preparing his own execution sequence. He needed to ensure the boss was completely atomized before the scroll timer expired.

He activated the primary stance of the Asura Vanguard.

[Skill Executed: Asura’s Descent]

The system interface violently flashed white, then aggressive crimson.

[Physical Defense reduced to 0.]

[Magical Defense reduced to 0.]

[Maximum HP multiplied by 10.]

[Attack Power Doubled.]

[Absolute Invulnerability Applied. Duration: 5 Seconds.]

The raw attack power of Dante, already sitting at a massive baseline, doubled.

He didn’t stop there.

[Skill Activated: Blood Sacrifice]

He voluntarily burned 90% of his newly inflated health pool.

The agonizing drain ripped through his avatar, but it was instantly replaced by an overwhelming surge of pure physical power.

[Attack Power increased by 900%.]

The base attack power of Dante crossed the threshold of absurdity and pushed past 100,000 raw damage.

He still wasn’t finished.

[Skill Executed: Asura’s Heart]

The burst of pure combat adrenaline flooded his neural link.

His attack speed and movement speed doubled. The crucial passive locked in, and Critical Hit Damage was instantly increased to 300%.

He was fully buffed. He was holding the raw destructive capacity of a extinction event.

He looked at the system timer.

5 seconds remaining on Equalizer Scroll.

Dante raised Voidsever. The black blade devoured the ambient light and turned into a singularity.

He stepped forward and raised the massive greatsword high above his head.

"Clear the bridge!" Dante roared.

The squad didn’t argue. Casanova abandoned his punching, and Mei grabbed her pan.

They all sprinted backward toward the entrance archway to give Dante complete unhindered access to the sleeping boss.

Dante didn’t use [Abyssal Cleave]. He didn’t want a spatial fracture.

He wanted a completely focused point of absolute destruction.

He swung the primordial blade straight down in a brutal two-handed vertical execution.

[Passive Activated: Absolute Severance. 100% Armor Ignored.]

[Passive Activated: Predator’s Eye (100% Critical Hit Chance).]

The jagged black blade of Voidsever slammed directly into the exact center of the skull of the Scarlet Magma Leviathan.

The combat engine of the Zenith Protocol didn’t just freeze. It audibly shrieked.

The system was trying to calculate over 100,000 base attack power multiplied by the 100% damage buff of Aria.

This was multiplied again by the guaranteed 300% critical hit damage modifier and applied to a boss whose stats had been artificially compressed by a Saint Destroyer artifact.

And Dante had Max Luck.

[Hidden Trait Triggered: Doom’s Echo]

[Multiplier Applied: 1,000,000,000%]

The math resolved.
