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

Chapter 239: The Weight of Gravity, A Null-Space Domain

The massive, diamond-plated hoof of the Earth-Shatter Behemoth slammed into the obsidian floor, entirely missing the target.

The Level 55 Celestial boss stumbled forward, its Gold-tier AI visibly struggling to process the localized reality shift. Its primary combat mechanic, the oppressive [Gravitational Well], had been completely and flawlessly neutralized.

Dante didn’t hit the ground. He hovered effortlessly ten feet in the air, his avatar completely untethered from the server’s gravity engine. The [Null-Space Domain] projected a faint, shimmering white aura around him, a fifty-foot sphere of absolute, localized zero-gravity.

"You can’t crush what you can’t catch," Dante murmured, adjusting his grip on the dark bone hilt of [Voidsever].

He didn’t activate [Meteor Stride] or [Phantom Dash]. The Zenith-tier teleports were powerful, but against a heavily armored boss with a massive twenty-million health pool, he needed sustained, overwhelming burst damage, and he needed it before the boss could trigger a secondary mechanic.

He needed to completely empty the health bar.

Dante opened his inventory and equipped the dark, starry fabric of the [Mantle of the Void-Dragon].

He didn’t trigger the flight passive. He activated the secondary skill.

[Skill Executed: Echoes of the Void]

Three identical, tangible Shadow Clones stepped directly out of his shadow, materializing in the zero-gravity field beside him. They wore the same dark purple armor, held identical replicas of Voidsever, and possessed the exact same localized base stats.

"Keep it busy," Dante commanded.

The three clones didn’t hesitate. They didn’t fall to the floor. They utilized the zero-gravity environment perfectly, launching themselves through the air like torpedoes directly at the massive boss.

The Behemoth roared, swinging its massive, armored head to swat the incoming attackers.

The clones didn’t try to block. They aggressively swarmed the beast, hacking at its thick diamond plating with their black swords.

Because Voidsever ignored 100% of physical mitigation, the clones were dealing massive, unmitigated true damage with every single strike.

[-15,000!]

[-15,000!]

[-15,000!]

The boss thrashed wildly, its massive health bar slowly beginning to chip away as it desperately tried to crush the agile, floating clones.

Dante didn’t join the melee. He stayed hovering near the ceiling, waiting for the perfect opening.

He didn’t activate [Asura’s Descent]. Dropping his defense to zero against a Celestial boss was a massive gamble, even with his massive health pool and Aura’s healing. He needed a different damage multiplier.

He opened his system interface and navigated to his inventory.

During the chaotic slaughter in the Frostfire Steppes, he had looted a very specific, highly restricted accessory from the Apex Coalition squad.

[Item Appraised: Ring of the Night-Stalker]

[Tier: Dark Demon]

[Passive (Night Incarnation): The user can actively merge with shadows. Upon exiting stealth, the user’s next physical strike receives a flat 500% damage multiplier and guarantees a critical hit. Cooldown: 1 Minute.]

He quickly swapped out his basic Silver-tier ring for the Dark Demon accessory.

"Let’s test the math," Dante whispered.

He activated the ring’s passive.

[Skill Executed: Night Incarnation]

The localized lighting in the massive royal vault didn’t dim. The bright, pulsating glow of the [Primal Earth Core] resting on its pedestal illuminated the entire room.

But Dante didn’t need environmental darkness.

He pulled the heavy, starry fabric of the [Mantle of the Void-Dragon] completely over his head. The pitch-black interior of the cloak created absolute, localized darkness.

He merged into his own shadow.

His physical avatar completely vanished from the zero-gravity field. He was entirely untargetable, completely removed from the game’s visual and combat tracking algorithms for exactly five seconds.

Down on the floor, Silas stared at the empty air where Dante had just been hovering.

The Guild Master of Vanguard’s Legacy, still trapped by the localized gravity of the boss but protected by his infinite Enforcer health regeneration, panicked.

"Where did he go?!" Silas shrieked, frantically looking around the massive vault. "He logged out! He abandoned the instance!"

Dante hadn’t logged out.

He was perfectly positioned, waiting in the shadows.

The three Shadow Clones finished their attack sequence, their duration expiring. They dissolved into black mist, leaving the heavily battered Earth-Shatter Behemoth roaring in frustration.

The boss looked around, its diamond visor searching for the primary target.

It couldn’t find him.

Dante dropped the cloak.

He materialized directly above the boss, positioned perfectly in the blind spot between the beast’s massive shoulders.

The five-second duration of [Night Incarnation] ended.

The 500% damage multiplier and guaranteed critical hit loaded directly into his next strike.

Dante didn’t use a basic attack. He triggered his ultimate assassination skill.

[Skill Executed: Phantom Waltz]

The purple, pulsating invulnerability frames enveloped his avatar. He vanished.

*Crack.*

He materialized on the boss’s left flank, driving Voidsever directly through the thick diamond plating.

The 500% multiplier from the ring stacked multiplicatively with the 1,000% multiplier of the Zenith-tier skill. The 100% armor-piercing passive of the sword ensured every single point of raw damage connected directly with the boss’s underlying code.

[-1,500,000! Critical Hit!]

The massive damage number exploded in bright red text.

The Behemoth shrieked, its massive body violently shuddering from the sheer, overwhelming kinetic force of the localized impact.

*Crack.*

Dante teleported to the right flank, dragging the black blade horizontally.

[-1,500,000! Critical Hit!]

*Crack. Crack.*

Two rapid, intersecting diagonal slashes across the beast’s massive back.

[-1,500,000! Critical Hit!]

[-1,500,000! Critical Hit!]

The boss’s massive twenty-million health pool was aggressively melting. The sheer volume of localized burst damage was completely overloading the Celestial entity’s structural integrity.

Dante materialized directly in front of the boss’s diamond visor for the fifth and final strike of the sequence.

He pulled Voidsever back.

The system interface hitched.

Dante had 100 points in his hidden Luck stat. The [Zenith Incarnate] title heavily skewed the mathematical probability of all RNG mechanics.

The cosmic dice rolled.

[Hidden Trait Triggered: Doom’s Echo]

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

Dante didn’t swing. He simply thrust the jagged black tip of Voidsever directly into the center of the boss’s diamond visor.

The impact was entirely silent.

The Zenith Protocol’s combat engine completely froze.

The massive, heavily armored Celestial boss didn’t stagger. It didn’t roar.

A single, clean, perfectly formatted line of bright red text appeared above the Behemoth’s head.

[-TRUE DEATH! OVERKILL!]

The Level 55 Earth-Shatter Behemoth was instantaneously, flawlessly atomized. The massive, diamond-plated body didn’t even shatter into chunks. It completely turned into fine, glittering gray ash that drifted silently to the obsidian floor of the vault.

Dante landed perfectly balanced, the golden invulnerability frames fading from his armor.

He slowly lowered Voidsever.

The massive, overwhelming fight was over in less than ten seconds.

[Target Eliminated: Earth-Shatter Behemoth (Level 55 Celestial)]

[Experience Gained. Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

Dante watched his level tick up from 72 to 74. The massive experience yield from soloing a Celestial boss was astronomical.

He dismissed Voidsever back into the brand on his wrist and turned to look at Silas.

The Enforcer was still lying on the floor, completely paralyzed by the boss’s residual gravity well, which was slowly fading now that the caster was dead. Silas stared at the pile of gray ash, his eyes wide in absolute, unfiltered horror.

"You... you one-shot a Level 55 Celestial," Silas whispered, his voice trembling violently. "That’s mathematically impossible. The system damage caps wouldn’t allow it."

"I told you, Silas," Dante said, walking casually toward the center of the vault. "The system doesn’t make the rules down here anymore. I do."

Dante ignored the terrified Guild Master and walked directly up to the massive diamond pedestal.

Resting in the center, pulsing with a deep, earthy brown and vibrant gold energy, was the objective.

The [Primal Earth Core].

The second missing fragment of [Voidsever].

Dante didn’t hesitate. He reached out and grabbed the massive, heavy orb with his dark purple gauntlet.

The moment his fingers touched the core, the black brand on his wrist violently erupted.

It wasn’t a painful, agonizing integration like the first orb. It was a massive, greedy surge of localized power.

Thick, black smoke poured from Dante’s wrist, wrapping entirely around the glowing earth core. The orb didn’t resist. It melted into the smoke, violently sucked directly into the dark, jagged tattoo on his skin.

The system interface exploded with blinding, aggressive purple light.

[System Override: Primordial Integration Detected.]

[Item: Voidsever has absorbed a missing Chaos Orb (2/3).]

[Initiating structural upgrade...]

Dante didn’t summon the sword, but he felt the massive, heavy shift in his digital physiology. The cosmic weight of the primordial weapon actively doubled.

[Structural Upgrade Complete.]

[Item Tier Elevated: Celestial -> Divine Emperor]

Dante stared at the prompt.

Divine Emperor. It was the highest standard tier the system officially recognized. The base attack power of the weapon skyrocketed again, pushing his localized damage output into a completely uncharted bracket.

But it wasn’t the raw stats that made Dante smile.

It was the new skill.

[New Active Skill Unlocked: Calamity - Wrath]

[Description: The weapon manifests the devoured ego of the Chaos Orb. Upon activation, the user unleashes a massive, continent-shaking AoE strike. The base damage of the strike scales infinitely based on the user’s missing HP percentage. Ignores all localized invulnerability frames, shields, and environmental immunities. Cooldown: 14 Days.]

A massive, unavoidable area-of-effect nuke that scaled off his missing health.

If he used [Blood Sacrifice] to drop his massive 25,500 health pool to 10%, the resulting damage multiplier on [Calamity - Wrath] would be mathematically apocalyptic. He wouldn’t just execute a boss; he could literally wipe an entire city off the server map in a single swing.

Dante closed the interface, thoroughly satisfied.

He turned around to face Silas.

The Enforcer had finally managed to stand up as the gravity well fully dissipated. Silas drew his silver broadsword, his pristine white celestial armor glowing faintly.

"You took it," Silas snarled, his voice thick with desperate, frantic rage. "That core was mine! It was my only way to stabilize the administrative link!"

"You should have grabbed it faster," Dante mocked smoothly.

Silas didn’t charge. He knew he couldn’t beat Dante in a physical fight.

The Guild Master opened his system interface, aggressively tapping his localized administrative console.

"I don’t need a sword to kill you, Dan," Silas hissed, a manic, unhinged smile spreading across his face. "I am the Enforcer. I have direct access to the server’s localized architecture. If I can’t kill your avatar, I’ll just delete the entire room."

Silas wasn’t bluffing.

The heavy, iron-bound doors of the royal vault at the far end of the corridor violently exploded inward.

The massive, thick stone walls of the subterranean chamber began to aggressively shake, localized dust and debris raining down from the ceiling.

A figure stepped through the ruined doorway.

It wasn’t a generic mob.

It was a towering, majestic figure. He possessed the incredibly muscular body of an apex predator, covered in thick, golden fur and heavily adorned with ornate, dark iron armor. He radiated a cosmic weight that completely dwarfed the Celestial boss Dante had just killed.

[Entity Identified: The Beast-Emperor]

[Tier: Super-Divine]

[Level: 60]

[HP: ???]

The Beast-Emperor didn’t look majestic. The golden eyes of the absolute ruler of the continent were entirely consumed by a harsh, aggressive, mind-controlled green static.

"I am the Administrator," Silas laughed hysterically, pointing a trembling finger at Dante. "And you are just a glitch. Emperor! Erase him!"
