Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Chapter 607 Machiavellianism

Villain Ch 607. Machiavellianism

To be sure, Allen was kinda curious about Yora's reaction. Especially since he didn't give any exposure even though he killed her. He took another bite of his hotdog, the savory taste momentarily distracting him from the glowing screen.

His thumb swiped down, unraveling the unfolding drama on the forum. And there, amidst the sea of comments, he found the answer to his curiosity. 'Speak of the devil,' he thought, a wry smile playing on his lips as his eyes locked onto a particular forum comment.

Yora_Cute_Healer: The devil emperor also killed me. It just happened. I don't think this is all worth the hype. Father^Alex isn't their only target.

(Reply) > @Yora_Cute_Healer We know the devil emperor is also targeting you. In fact, he also just killed me and two other healers. But the emperor didn't mention our names or said anything about his plan or said that we are dangerous. Likes (21)

(Reply) > @Yora_Cute_Healer Any screen recording? Maybe he gave a hint or two.

(Reply) > @Yora_Cute_Healer Maybe the Devil Emperor got tired of you and decided to shift his attention to Father^Alex. (Laughing emoji) Likes (9)

Allen scrolled down with one hand, the light from his phone casting a soft glow on his face. His eyes were fixed on the phone screen, navigating through the ongoing forum discussion. Occasionally, he took a casual bite of the hotdog in his other hand, savoring the mix of flavors.

The conversation was intriguing, a blend of speculation and analysis that players had conjured up in response to the unexpected events in Hell's Gate. They were weaving intricate narratives, attempting to unravel the mystery behind the devil emperor's sudden focus on Father^Alex and the potential larger plot at play. It amused Allen how players, fueled by their curiosity and imagination, could turn a seemingly random event into a grand conspiracy theory.

What added an extra layer of amusement for Allen was Yora's attempt to downplay the significance of what happened to Father^Alex. Her comment, dismissing it as just another routine encounter with the devil emperor, raised eyebrows among the forum users. She was quick to point out the peculiar details – the devil emperor giving her a nickname, 'Lil' kitten,' and attempting to recruit her during a guild event. Unbeknownst to Yora, her experiences added fuel to the speculative fire, with players dissecting every nuance and hint dropped by the devil emperor.

Allen couldn't help but find the whole situation amusing. The players, unknowingly contributing to the narrative he had set in motion, added unexpected layers to the unfolding drama. The gaming forum, ever dynamic and unpredictable, echoed with the chatter of players trying to make sense of a game that constantly kept them on their toes.

The forum was buzzing with debates and speculations, a cacophony of voices echoing through. As players dissected the recent encounters with the devil emperor, opinions varied widely, showcasing the diverse perspectives within the gaming community.

Skeptics argued that without concrete evidence, the devil emperor's actions could simply be attributed to his cunning personality or clever game design choices. They dismissed the significance of the emperor's unique interactions with Yora, chalking it up to a mere touch of character development, essential to keeping the game engaging and immersive. After all, they argued, having the emperor address players as adventurers instead of employing distinct nicknames would be a dull narrative choice.

Others believed in the depth of the game's storytelling. They argued that the devil emperor's actions were intricately woven into the game's narrative fabric, adding layers of complexity to character interactions. To them, it wasn't just a matter of game design aesthetics; it was a deliberate choice by the developers to create a dynamic and compelling virtual world.

Amid the debates, a faction emerged, defending Yora's unique encounters with the devil emperor. Despite the lack of a direct declaration of her supposed threat, some players contended that Yora possessed qualities or knowledge that garnered the emperor's attention. They stood by her, arguing that the devil emperor's distinct treatment was a testament to Yora's significance within the game's intricate plot.

"Pfft!" Allen stifled a laugh, his lips twitching with amusement. Alone in the store, he found the situation incredibly amusing. The gaming forum had become a battleground of wit and subtle rivalry, and Yora's attempts to dethrone Father^Alex from his position as the top healer were nothing short of Machiavellian.

He scrolled through the comments, watching the drama unfold with a bemused expression. Yora's desperation to regain the spotlight was evident in her every word, a calculated move to diminish Father^Alex's reputation. Allen couldn't help but appreciate the cunning strategy, acknowledging the sheer audacity behind her attempts.

The Hell's Gate had transformed into a stage for interpersonal dynamics, where players strategically maneuvered to secure their positions in the hierarchy. The forum, acting as a digital coliseum, witnessed battles not only with swords and magic but also with words and reputation.

As much as Allen found it entertaining, he refrained from making any explicit comments. After all, Yora's craving for attention was well-known, and getting involved might only add fuel to the fire. Instead, he continued to observe the drama, recognizing the intricate dance of personalities within the gaming community.

Putting down his phone, Allen savored the last bite of his hotdog, relishing the mix of flavors. He then turned his attention to the noodle cup, opening the lid, unveiling the aromatic steam that curled up to his nostrils. Inhaling deeply, he appreciated the pleasant scent before indulging in the warm noodles.

His phone, propped up on the counter, still displayed the ongoing saga on the gaming forum. The comments and replies formed a continuous stream, a digital conversation that seemed to have a life of its own. Amid the chatter, one comment stood out, catching Allen's interest.

SucMaDic: Could this possibly have something to do with the Shadow Syndicate guild? I saw Father^Alex go hunting with them at Black Castle's Hall before this happened and the members are pros! Maybe the villains feel threatened because of that.
