Dante’s elder brother, Vergil, who moved in the human world, visited Dante’s place. To gain more strength, he decided to awaken the power of their father, Sparda. While he searched for the forbidden book which contained the information about Sparda, he met Arkham who urged him to awaken the demonic tower, Temen-ni-gru, which had been sealed in the prehistoric times; this tower contained the portal leading to the demon world.
Under the setting sun, the ground cracked, and rocks surged up like waves. Looking down from the sky, the audience saw the huge city center consisting of all kinds of buildings which extended to the horizon.
In the center of these buildings, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a huge and grand tower slowly rose.
Wearing a blue windbreaker, Vergil stood on the tower. His chiseled face looked like a perfect demon statue under the setting sun, and the god of death lay on the ground behind him like an obedient pet.
Yamato, the name of Vergil’s katana, flashed, and he withdrew the saber without looking back.


Like a piece of garbage, the upper half of the god of death slid off its body and fell to the ground.

This guy seems more powerful!


His saber technique is awesome!


So dashing!
people like Song Qingfeng yelled,
I want to play this game!

Just imagine the scenario in which his saber flashes and the sneak-attacker behind him being hacked into two halves as he withdraws the saber!
It was super dashing!
A large group of people were watching the livestream in the Half City Shop.

Do all the demons in this game engage in close-range combat?!


They don’t look weak at all!

Baffled, they continued watching.



Ugh? Can we learn techniques from the game?

Soon, they saw Mr. Fang open the level-up interface and glanced at Dante’s techniques.
Mr. Fang had played it before, but in the virtual reality version where everything looked more real, he had to refresh his memory and get more familiar with the techniques.
At the beginning, Dante had four styles, each of which would change his techniques and move-set and affect the combat greatly.
The styles were Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger, and Royalguard.
The Trickster style focused on agility and moving methods, which was similar to mastering footwork. It would enable Dante to dodge many attacks and get close to his opponents quickly, Also, he could dash in mid-air, scale buildings, and teleport a short distance.
The beginning level was level 1, and the players could level up by accumulating experience points through killing monsters in battle.
The Swordmaster style focused on the attacks of close-range weapons. This style would enable Dante to use powerful close-range techniques, and each melee weapon had its own style of attacks.
The Gunslinger style focused on the attacks of long-range weapons. It would allow Dante’s guns to launch very dashing techniques, such as Kalina Ann’s homing missiles.
The Royalguard style focused on defense, which required the players to have a high control of timing.


It couldn’t be used to completely block the damage coming from enemies alone. But if it were used at the instant when the enemies touched Dante, it could block the attacks and knock back demons without strong demonic energy as well as leveling up this style. Each successful complete defense would absorb the enemies’ attack, and the accumulated damage could be released onto the enemies, inflicting huge damage.
On the level-up interface, people saw that two styles at the bottom were greyed out, which meant that they couldn’t be activated at this stage.
[Quicksilver Style (not activated): it will consume Dante’s demonic energy and automatically stop when his demonic energy runs out.]
When it was used, all the people except Dante would move extremely slowly.
At this moment, the enemies’ attacks and movement speeds would be reduced to one-tenth of the normal speed while Dante’s speed won’t change.
[Doppelganger Style (not activated). This style can’t be leveled up, but it will consume Dante’s demonic energy and automatically stop when the demonic energy runs out. Can only be used when the demonic energy meter is more than three bars.]
When it is used, there will be two Dantes (one will be his shadow clone). The doppelganger will use Dante’s current weapons but won’t change weapons if the true form does. If the true form doesn’t change weapons, his doppelganger will use the same moves as the true form. The doppelganger will be invincible and possess the same damage as Dante.

Fck?!

While the audience watched the combat, they were fascinated by this novel and powerful combat style. However, if they used this method on cultivators who were agile, far away, and knew the sword control technique, they would be at a disadvantage and forced into a passive situation similar to current warriors when they face cultivators in battle. Therefore, regardless of how powerful the strikes were, they were useless.
However, when they saw the Quicksilver style, they were stupefied, and their minds went blank.



Is this…


Controlling time?! The Law of Time?!
The big demon who was sipping milk tea yelled,
What’s in this little guy’s bloodline?! He can even understand the law of time?!

It’s something even I can’t access! Only the true kings of my kind have the right to understand it…
The cup of milk tea fell to the table. Fortunately, it was now empty, so nothing was spilled onto the ground.
What did I see?! It’s faked! Must be faked! Impossible!

It was unimaginable! Just think about it; if a warrior combined teleportation with the control of time, even demons would be no match for this warrior, let alone cultivators!
Moreover, it would be more terrifying with a doppelganger, which meant that one could double their power. Besides, one of them was invincible!
Now remembering Dante’s horrifying hacking strike with explosive damage, people no longer thought that close-range combat was a disadvantage at all.
The people in the audience looked at each other and saw fear and shock in their eyes.
They couldn’t wait to try it.
Ning Bi said,
Sir! I want to play this game!

The Xichi Spiritual Master followed,
30 crystals for activation? I’m leaving the money here; going online now!



Black Demon added,
I’ll try it too!


…

People like Mo Xian and Yue Yan had said that they looked down at this main character, but they quickly glanced at their master before looking at each other.
Shui Xianyun put down the crystals and said,
Junior Sister, wait! I’ll try it too!


Should we…
Mo Xian murmured,
Shall we try it as well?


Isn’t this guy a descendant of a demon? Will we experience qi deviation and turn demonic by playing this game?
Yue Yan asked.

Did you see the shop owner experiencing qi deviation?


Let’s go! Hurry! We won’t be able to learn that so-called Law of Time if we’re slow! Don’t you see that Master and the others are playing it?!


Hey! Wait for me!

When they arrived at the computer zone, the seats were all taken. Dazed, they asked,
Sir, are there any available seats?!
