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

The Beast-Emperor didn’t roar. He didn’t draw a weapon.

The Super-Divine entity simply moved.

Dante’s 100 points of Intuition didn’t even have time to register the threat. The Beast-Emperor’s movement speed entirely bypassed the Zenith Protocol’s rendering frames.

He crossed the two hundred yards of the massive vault in less than a millisecond.

Dante didn’t have time to trigger [Phantom Waltz]. He didn’t have time to raise the [Dawn-Breaker Blade] for an [Aegis Deflection] parry.

The Beast-Emperor drove a massive, iron-plated fist directly into the center of Dante’s chest piece.

*BOOM!*

The impact was absolute. It sounded like a mountain collapsing.

The [Evil Spirit Armor] violently buckled inward, groaning under the sheer, unmitigated kinetic force of a Level 60 Super-Divine physical strike.

The [Source of Recovery] passive on Dante’s cloak instantly triggered, halving the incoming damage, but the raw numerical value of the attack was too high.

[-25,000 HP!]

Dante’s massive 35,500 health pool was instantly shredded.

He was violently launched backward. He didn’t just slide across the obsidian floor. He was blasted entirely through the air.

Dante crashed into the massive, thick stone wall at the back of the royal vault. The impact didn’t stop his momentum. He smashed straight through the solid bedrock, tearing a massive, jagged tunnel through the subterranean foundation of the capital city.

He flew for hundreds of feet, crashing through walls, sewer grates, and cobblestone streets.

He finally erupted from the ground, bursting through the pavement of the central plaza of Theria.

He hit the ground and tumbled wildly, tearing up the pristine marble of the city square, finally coming to a stop near the base of a massive, golden statue of the Emperor.

The entire city of Theria was completely silent. Thousands of Beast-Kin NPCs and players stared at the massive, dust-filled crater that had just erupted in the center of their capital.

Dante lay completely still in the rubble.

His health bar was flashing a desperate, critical red.

[HP: 1 / 35,500]

He hadn’t survived the impact because of his massive health pool. The damage had been entirely fatal.

He had survived because of Erebus.

[Passive Activated: Undying Spirit]

[Fatal damage negated. Health locked at 1 HP.]

[Absolute Invulnerability Applied. Duration: 5 seconds.]

Dante gasped for air, his digital lungs burning. The golden invulnerability frames enveloped his battered avatar, shielding him from the lingering physical trauma of the crash.

"Okay," Dante choked out, pushing himself up onto his hands and knees. "That hurt."

He had exactly five seconds of absolute invulnerability before he was completely exposed at 1 HP. And he was currently sitting in the middle of a hostile capital city, facing a mind-controlled god.

He didn’t hesitate. He opened his pet interface with a mental command.

"Aura!" Dante yelled.

A flash of bright silver light illuminated the dusty crater. The Grade 8 Mystic Sovereign materialized instantly, floating gracefully above the rubble.

She didn’t need to be told what to do. She saw his health bar.

[Skill Activated: Resurgence Wave]

A massive, concentrated pulse of pure Aether washed over Dante. The percentage-based heal instantly restored 50% of his maximum health, pushing his health bar back up to a comfortable 17,750 HP.

It was enough to survive a glancing blow, but it wouldn’t save him from another direct hit from the Emperor.

Dante stood up, dusting off his dark purple armor. The [Evil Spirit Armor] hadn’t shattered, despite the massive dent in the chest plate. The Celestial-tier gear possessed incredible durability.

The massive, jagged hole he had created in the ground violently shuddered.

The Beast-Emperor didn’t climb out of the hole.

The Level 60 Super-Divine boss leaped entirely out of the subterranean vault, soaring hundreds of feet into the air, before crashing down into the center of the plaza, directly across from Dante.

The impact cracked the marble plaza in a massive spiderweb pattern.

The NPC guards and players in the plaza panicked, screaming and fleeing down the side streets, desperately trying to escape the epicenter of the clash.

The Beast-Emperor stood tall, the green static burning intensely in his golden eyes.

[Boss Aura Applied: Sovereign’s Domain]

[Warning: All localized magic, buffs, and restorative spells are actively suppressed within a 500-foot radius.]

Dante felt the immediate, suffocating pressure of the aura.

Aura’s silver light violently flickered, the tiny Sprite letting out a pained chime as the Emperor’s cosmic weight actively pushed against her celestial magic. She couldn’t cast another heal.

Dante was cut off from his support.

He was facing a boss that out-leveled him, vastly out-sped him, and possessed enough raw physical power to one-shot him through his best defensive gear.

"He’s too fast," Dante analyzed rapidly. "If I try to cast [Phantom Waltz], he’ll just interrupt the animation. If I use [Cyclone of Ruin], he’ll just walk through the wind."

Standard tactics were useless. He couldn’t fight a Super-Divine entity in a prolonged melee brawl. He needed to end the fight in a single, perfectly timed strike.

Dante didn’t draw the [Dawn-Breaker Blade].

He held out his right hand. The brand flared.

[Voidsever] materialized. The Divine Emperor-tier greatsword was massive, jagged, and actively humming with the primordial power of the two absorbed Chaos Orbs.

Dante gripped the dark bone hilt tightly.

"You want to hit me?" Dante called out, dropping into a low, aggressive stance.

He didn’t run away. He didn’t try to dodge.

Dante activated the newest, most dangerous skill in his arsenal.

[Skill Executed: Calamity - Wrath]

The system interface didn’t just flash; it completely blackened out for a fraction of a second.

The description of the newly unlocked skill burned in his mind: *The base damage of the strike scales infinitely based on the user’s missing HP percentage.*

He was missing fifty percent of his health. The multiplier wasn’t a flat 500% or 1,000%. It was an exponential, compounding variable that fed directly off his current vulnerability.

Dante didn’t stop there. He needed absolute, undeniable overkill to breach a Super-Divine entity’s defenses.

[Skill Executed: Asura’s Heart]

The burst of pure combat adrenaline flooded his neural link. His attack speed doubled, but the crucial passive locked in: Critical Hit Damage was instantly increased to 300%.

He was fully buffed.

Across the shattered marble plaza, the Beast-Emperor didn’t hesitate. The mind-controlled, Level 60 Super-Divine boss recognized the massive, surging spike of cosmic energy radiating from Dante’s avatar.

The Emperor roared, a sound that physically shattered the stained-glass windows of the nearby merchant buildings.

The massive, golden-furred entity charged.

He didn’t run. He moved like a localized blur of gold and dark iron armor. The ground exploded beneath his boots with every step. He raised his massive, clawed fist, drawing raw, unmitigated kinetic energy into a concentrated, glowing white sphere around his knuckles.

It was an execution strike. If that punch landed, Dante’s remaining 17,750 HP would be instantly vaporized.

"Come on," Dante whispered, lowering his stance, bringing the massive black blade of Voidsever back.

He didn’t activate [Blink Step]. He didn’t try to dodge.

He met the charge head-on.

The Beast-Emperor closed the fifty yards in a single, devastating leap, bringing the glowing white fist down directly toward Dante’s skull.

Dante swung Voidsever upward.

The two attacks collided in the exact center of the plaza.

*BOOM!*

There was no localized *clang* of metal. There was no screech of tearing armor.

The impact sounded like a bomb detonating inside a vacuum.

The sheer, overwhelming kinetic force of the collision didn’t just rattle the immediate area. It completely, utterly leveled half of the central plaza. The massive stone statues surrounding the square were violently sheared in half. The pristine white marble floor was pulverized into fine, white dust, creating a massive, hundred-foot-wide crater beneath their feet.

The shockwave blew the surrounding, terrified Beast-Kin NPCs off their feet, launching them through the air like ragdolls.

Dante’s iron boots sank three feet deep into the solid bedrock beneath the plaza. The [Evil Spirit Armor] groaned agonizingly, but he didn’t buckle.

He held the strike.

The jagged black blade of Voidsever was locked perfectly against the glowing white sphere surrounding the Emperor’s fist.

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

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

The math of [Calamity - Wrath] finally resolved.

The exponential damage multiplier, fueled by Dante’s missing 17,750 HP, compounded with the 300% critical hit damage modifier, struck the Super-Divine boss.

Above the Emperor’s head, the damage numbers exploded.

[-15,500,000! Critical Hit! OVERKILL!]

Over fifteen million points of true, unmitigated damage in a single swing.

The Beast-Emperor’s health bar didn’t just drop. It completely evaporated.

But the boss didn’t explode into blue pixels. It didn’t shatter into digital ash like the Earth-Shatter Behemoth or the Void-Drake.

Dante’s eyes narrowed.

He hadn’t hit the physical avatar. He hadn’t hit the boss’s health pool.

He looked at the point of impact.

The jagged black blade of [Voidsever] had cleaved straight through the glowing white sphere of kinetic energy. But it hadn’t stopped there. The primordial greatsword, now enhanced by the [Fragment of the Source Code], was an authorized, systemic Anti-Virus.

The blade had physically sliced through the thick, glowing green lines of administrative code wrapping tightly around the Beast-Emperor’s skull.

*SCREEECH.*

The sound of tearing static echoed through the crater.

The mind-control programming holding the Emperor hostage violently snapped. The green static burning in the golden eyes of the Beast-Emperor instantly flickered and died, completely purged by the Anti-Virus properties of the blade.

The massive, golden-furred ruler of the continent went completely limp.

The kinetic force behind his fist vanished. The Emperor collapsed forward, crashing heavily into the pulverized dust of the crater, completely unconscious, but very much alive.

Dante slowly lowered Voidsever.

He stood in the center of the ruined plaza, breathing heavily. The physical strain of channeling a fifteen-million-damage strike was immense, even with his infinite stamina.

He checked the system interface.

There was no kill notification. There was no experience gain.

He had missed the boss’s health bar entirely, but he had successfully severed the admin-level control parameters.

"Well," Dante exhaled, dismissing [Voidsever] back into his wrist. "That works too."

He had freed the Emperor. He had secured the [Primal Earth Core]. He had completely dismantled Silas’s localized grip on the Beast-Kin continent.

He turned around, fully intending to cast [Meteor Stride] and sprint out of the city before the localized guard forces realized their Emperor wasn’t fighting him anymore.

Before he could take a step, his private message interface pinged aggressively.

It was Sera.

[Sera: Dante! The system just issued a global alert! The Arch-Administrator is attempting a localized server wipe!]

Dante frowned, opening the chat.

[Dan: A server wipe? Where?]

[Sera: Not a zone. An entire continent. The alert says the Beast-Kin continent is being quarantined for a ’Critical Data Purge’. The timer is set for ten minutes! Dante, you have to get out of there right now! Use the Spatial Stone!]

Dante stared at the message.
