BXBX NOVEL Chapter 414 - Mission From The Gods
Adrian managed to stop Ascalor\'s time using the Sands of Time relic. He is about to head towards Koronn when he suddenly received a mission. The mission itself was shocking because it came directly from the gods.

==========
The first triple S class quest has been given to every player in Pandemonium. The rewards are so great, but the failure effect is also so bad. The destruction of the central continent is not something that is to be treated lightly.
The freedom of a dark god is also not something for everyone to say that it is a normal thing to happen. Adrian immediately checked the forums for what the players are saying, and he was baffled. Half of the player base could not be bothered with what is happening but the guilds who have gotten a territory ae already mobilizing their entire guild in order to combat the dark god.

Pandemonuin Forum:
Forever Single: Hah! The destruction of the central continent. Yeah right! That will not happen because there are godlike NPCs in the central continent. I am pretty sure that they will solve it without a problem.
There are also godlike NPCs in the eastern continent so they could just invite them over and threat vanished.
Burger Lover: Are you an idiot?! The godlike NPCs from the eastern continent cannot leave the eastern continent. I would know because I am currently in the eastern continent.
We even have the same quest as you guys, but it stated that the divine beasts are sending us to the central continent to take care of the threat. We are goners if we do not seal that dark god. Forget about killing a god, even sealing it is already problematic.
Rice is Life: Even us in the western continent have been given a mission by the gods that we venerate to go and kill the dark god in the central continent. Sucks to those in the central continent. I hear that every kingdom is already being sundered by those creepy shapeshifters.
Pizza is Superior: They are called faceless ones and they are creepier than my aunt who like to lick her toes. They creep up on you pretending to be your teammate. When they get close, they immediately kill you on the spot. It managed to kill me in one strike, and I am slightly tank because I am from the warrior job class.
Forever Single: Welp, the game developers will not let the game go downhill right. I mean this is my only past time.
Rice is Life: I feel you bro. Maybe if we help in sealing the dark god, we could finally graduate from being sages.

"The players still think that the developers are going to save us, but this terror will happen if no one could solve the quest. Just like what happened with Neo Alfheim when I failed that quest. Due to my failure, the elves are weakened by 10% permanently and the elven race\' birth rate declined." Adrian muttered to himself as he headed towards Koronn\'s location.
The sphinx requested to rest on Adrian\'s hands, so he carried it to the location. It seems that the sphinx needs to gather energy to use his powers again. Koronn is currently in the observation room where the crystal balls that each demon eye is kept.
Adrian entered the room, and his face became dark. The faceless ones are basically rampaging now that their god is in the mortal plane. He could see the scenes of carnage and chaos. It breaks his heart seeing innocent people dying because of the choices of a players.
He read in a survey that about 35% of the player base is actually siding with the evil faction. 53% are siding with the good faction and the remaining is the neutral faction. It actually shocked him but it seems that some people are releasing their inner grudges in the game world so that they will not resort to crime in the real world.
"Should we do something? No! We have to do something. It is our duty to protect the world from the dark gods." Adrian stated as he could not sit still and look at the screen projections.
"Look at the demon eyes for the imperial capital." Koronn stated as he pointed to blank screens.
"They are blank. Did they manage to find the demon eyes and destroy them? But we hid them inside small pocket dimensions." Adrian stated as he knew that it is no normal feat to destroy the demon eyes. If that was easily done, then the faceless ones no longer needed to shapeshift just to hide from the demons.
The faceless ones were not shapeshifting to avoid the eyes of humans but the eyes of demons. They knew that they will not be able to bring their god in the mortal realm if the demons could see their activities.
"Play the last recording of the main demon eye in the central continent to the brat sulking over there." Koronn commanded and a greater demon gave Adrian the demon eye.
"Did you not say that the demon eyes are no longer working?" Adrian asked as he wondered what Koronn wanted to let him view.
"Look at it and see why we are not deploying anyone right now." Koronn stated and Adrian inserted his mana into the demon eye receiver. Upon seeing the last clear recording, Adrian could only think that the central continent is doomed.
