Samsara Online

No one really knew if destiny was an entity that existed or not. No one knew if destiny was just a creation of the imagination of mankind or other thinking beings.

However, what was certain was that destiny, non-existent or existing, was that which secretly controlled all the life of every animate or inanimate object that existed... So, what would happen if the thread that represented the destiny of an existence was destroyed? No one knew, since no one could control a power so terrifying as this.

Shen Xinya felt that a new door had opened before her as she scanned the countless threads of destiny shimmering all around her.

The grass, the trees, the players, the NPCs, even the city walls had their own thread of destiny. However, all her attention was focused entirely on the silver thread floating gently a few inches in front of her.

For a moment, her aura seemed to undergo a drastic change. She, who from birth possessed the aura of someone noble, at this moment seemed to have become a true goddess of the heavens and the people around her stood in awe as they looked at her small back with lost eyes; it was as if she was the only figure present.

The sound of the commanders shouting orders, the sound of the metal armors trembling due to the movement of the soldiers, as well as the sound of the galloping horses or the voices of the now more than six million players that had completely surrounded the map; everything had gone silent.

In the midst of that strangely silent setting, Shen Xinya raised her hand pale and smooth as the finest silk, pointing to that flashy thread of destiny before her.

Her movements were especially slow and careful as if she were dealing with a newborn baby that needed to be pampered by its parents.

However, when her perfectly delineated index finger came into contact with the thread of destiny that ruled over the life of the Abyssal Dragon, this thread weakened immensely. She was weak, so she could not break that thin-looking thread; however, her goal had been brilliantly achieved.

She let out a small sigh of relief. This gesture was almost imperceptible, but in the midst of such silence, all the people nearby heard it clearly as if a needle fell to the floor in a silent room in the middle of the night.

Under the terrified gaze of everyone present, the spatial rift closed, and the spatial blockade that completely limited the giant dragon’s movements disappeared. However, to everyone’s surprise, the beast did not begin to move rampantly and furiously. On the contrary, it seemed unusually calm.

A moment later, as if a baby had seen a ghost, the five-kilometer-long body of the terrible Abyssal Dragon shuddered fiercely.

ROAR!!!!

The beast’s golden eyes opened even wider than they already were and it raised its head to the skies, letting out a pain-filled roar that shook the souls of those present.

The roar of the Abyssal Dragon was so horrible that the shockwave alone decimated over two thousand players relatively close to it, showing how terrifying the power of a Saint grade powerhouse was. Without even intending to attack, two thousand players had already lost their lives!

But what happened next was most astonishing.

As if a truck had hit the puny body of an ant, the Abyssal Dragon plummeted to the ground like a meteor shattering the atmosphere.

BOOM!

The earth shook and many players could not stay steady on their feet for too long before falling miserably to the ground. Although none had died as none of them had been foolish enough to stand where the beast would appear, many could not help but feel their heads go blank from the loud explosion.

Slowly, the massive cloud of dust began to recede and the Abyssal Dragon slumped on the ground as if it were dead appeared for all to see. Its body looked as big as a mountain, but its scales had lost their luster and its eyes had a hint of weariness in the midst of all the rage that blinded its mind.

But, most terrifying of all was the numerical figure slowly ascending over its head.

-250.000.000!

...

...

The battlefield remained silent.

It didn’t matter if they were players or NPCs; the only thing the allied army could do in that revealing moment was to stare dazedly at the nine-digit figure slowly rising into the sky as if it wanted to show itself to everyone long enough before disappearing to assure them that it was really there.

In fact, they were so surprised and incredulous at the reality before their eyes that they could not even open their mouths to gasp.

Slowly, the players turned their heads to look at the woman they had previously mocked and called crazy, with looks of horror, shock, disbelief, embarrassment, shame, and many other complex emotions flickering in their eyes, alternating at astonishing speeds.

Was such damage even possible? Weren’t they dreaming? Above all, that was the damage coming from the hands of a player?

Many of them could not help but think that Kali was secretly a hidden NPC of the system. However, this thought only lasted a split second before disappearing; after all, NPCs could not appear in the different player rankings.

"She just caused over two hundred and fifty million damage with a single attack!" One player finally couldn’t help but roar in disbelief.

"We can still win!"

As if a seaquake had been triggered without warning, over five million players began to shout at the top of their lungs and even the fifty thousand soldiers of the NPC army whose levels exceeded level 50 looked at the silver-haired woman with glittering eyes filled with admiration.

With a person capable of making attacks of such magnitude, they could definitely win! There was still hope for them!

It was what 90% of the people present believed and, as if to let out the fear they felt when they saw the colossal size of the Abyssal Dragon, they roared loudly without shame, singing countless praises. Shamelessly, they praised the woman they had mocked less than a minute ago.

Many players who were just looking for trouble even claimed that the title of the strongest player should belong to Kali, not Shiva,

However, not everyone got caught up in the moment and, even in the midst of rejoicing at the small glimmer of hope they had just witnessed and the countless doors of possibility that had opened, they kept their minds clear.

Kali’s previous attack, according to her own words before making it, had taken 50% of the creature’s HP... So, didn’t this mean that the Abyssal Dragon had at least 500,000,000 health points?!

500,000,000!

The amount of life points was simply overwhelming!
