Ever since this incident occurred, David and Viola roamed the wasteland world every day, hunting and killing. When all the zombie creatures saw David, their murderous desires, implanted by Edmund, erupted completely!
Every single zombie, every mutant creature rushed towards David as if they had gone mad, disregarding their own lives. However, these zombie creatures were the lowest-level combatants in the wasteland world, and David effortlessly killed them all. Viola used this opportunity to continuously enhance her own strength.
At the same time, Emlyn had been summoned by David from the ranks of the evil ghost. After spending so much time with hundreds of evil ghost, Emlyn had shed his infantile form and become a robust man.
Under David’s guidance, he had become the leader of these hundreds of evil ghost. Thus, the wasteland world would see Emlyn leading these evil ghost, relentlessly killing the zombie creatures every day.
However, David noticed that no matter how many zombie creatures they killed, more would appear before them. He speculated that Edmund had summoned zombie creatures from other parts of the wasteland world as well. After all, this world had no boundaries, and the land they saw was just a small piece of the wasteland world. Nevertheless, this didn’t frighten David because, at this point, he had transcended the Escaping Dust level and reached the Dark God level.
The so-called Dark God , It possessed unparalleled power and could even dominate everything within the darkness. After reaching this level, David had become one with the darkness, able to revel in killing and unleash his destructive power as if he were a part of it.
Moreover, the wasteland world was perpetually shrouded in dark clouds, making David a true god here. Even during the rare moments when the dark clouds dispersed and the sun shone, his power was still like that of a world-shattering force.
But David didn’t rest on his laurels because he knew that while he was leveling up, Edmund was also continuously improving his own strength. So, he couldn’t afford to pause and continued to move among the zombie creatures every day.
One day, after crushing a Mountain-moving Ape with his bare hands, the mechanical voice of the system rang in his ears.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining ten fragments of the Staff of the Wasteland!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on collecting one hundred fragments of the Staff of the Wasteland. Would you like to choose to merge them?]
David had always harbored doubts about the Staff of the Wasteland, a mysterious object. Just from its name, he could sense its power. Therefore, he chose to merge the fragments without hesitation.
[Ding! The Staff of the Wasteland is currently being merged!]
[Ding! The merging of the Staff of the Wasteland was successful! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Staff of the Wasteland!]
The mechanical voice of the system seemed to contain a hint of excitement. Then, a staff about three meters long with ten sapphires embedded on its top and inscriptions engraved on its shaft appeared in the void before David.
The moment the Staff of the Wasteland appeared, the ruthless mutant creatures rushing towards David in the vicinity immediately stopped in their tracks and stood still. They all fixed their gaze on the Staff of the Wasteland in front of David, as if they had seen something terrifying. Fear welled up in their eyes.
David reached out and gripped the Staff of the Wasteland in his hand. As he made contact with the staff, he immediately felt a surge of majestic power emanating from it.
This majestic aura seemed to gather the essence of the entire wasteland world, allowing David to instantly sense the presence of every living being in this world. 𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴
“Insight?” David exclaimed as he felt this sensation. It was clear to him that the Staff of the Wasteland granted him the ability to perceive everything in this land, regardless of distance or defenses. It could penetrate through mountains and forests, conveying the essence of every place to David’s senses. Meanwhile, the inscriptions on the Staff of the Wasteland began to emit a continuous red light.
A stream of information quickly flowed into David’s mind. He absorbed all the information about the Staff of the Wasteland’s capabilities. His gaze at the Staff of the Wasteland was filled with excitement because from the information, he understood the immense power it held. Not only could it allow him to perceive every inch of this land, but it also bestowed upon him the power over life and death. This staff symbolized kingship, and all living beings would instinctively fear a king. Now, David was that king, and all the zombie creatures and living beings of the wasteland world would submit to his rule.
David slowly opened his eyes and scanned the hundreds of zombie creatures and mutant beasts in the vicinity. Then, he gently raised the Staff of the Wasteland and struck it against the ground. creatures and mutant beasts made a deep “thud” sound.
These sounds radiated outwards like shockwaves, spreading in all directions. When the nearby zombie creatures heard this sound, they didn’t have time to lament; they suddenly exploded! Instantly, within a hundred miles, all living beings could hear the sound emitted by the Staff of the Wasteland.
Explosions erupted everywhere! The air was quickly filled with the smell of blood. The reason for this was because when David struck the ground with the Staff of the Wasteland, he silently uttered the word “death.” He intended to make all living beings controlled by Edmund die before him.
In the next moment, David floated into the air, holding the Staff of the Wasteland. From above, he saw countless corpses piled up like small mountains, including some mutated Zerg creatures.
Clearly, before the Staff of the Wasteland, these beings were nothing more than ants. If David wished, he could instantly turn them into lifeless corpses.
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on David’s face. Meanwhile, Emlyn and Viola, standing on the ground, were completely stunned as they watched David, who seemed like a god.
After a while, Emlyn finally came to his senses. He looked at the dismembered bodies and muttered, “A new king… has arrived.”
At the same time, in the western forests of the wasteland world, Edmund was meditating in a massive nest. Suddenly, his body tensed, and he quickly opened his eyes, gazing at the sky at the entrance of the cave.
“Oh? This human seems to have quite some abilities,” Edmund chuckled. “In that case, I can only let you taste the flavor of suffering. Because here, only I am the king…”
