Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Regarding raid progress, approximately 465 teams worldwide are currently qualified to challenge the Shadow of Death raid, but none have yet cleared the first level of the Dream Realm. This level features seven aggro-linked bosses, requiring five powerful tanks to rotate tanks, leaving little room for error. The fastest progress was achieved by Xingyue, who defeated three of the seven brothers in the first level.

This issue's level rankings aren't particularly relevant. By the end of the old patch, a large number of professional players had already reached max level and were eagerly awaiting the level cap. Jinse was the first to reach max level, and currently is grinding for skill levels. It's said that grinding means she spends all her time in the dungeon, eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping.

However, the strongest player at the moment is still Alex. After completing the third-tier Warrior class upgrade to God Warrior, he now possesses a three-second cooldown charge and four large jumps, making him a nemesis of all ranged enemies (except Sky-Snatcher). He even managed to win consecutive battles against Sky-Snatcher, currently ranking first in the Fault Arena.

In terms of NPC popularity, the first place remains unchanged, and it is still Wayne Stewell. This recognized protagonist of the "Apocalypse" game has been ranked first for the eighth time in a row. In this "Shadow of Death" incident, he once again became the focus of the spotlight. With the strength of the King of Angels, he is above the gods, and has repeatedly turned the tide, overshadowing the other two gods.

Second in popularity is Jasmine. This was her first time fighting alongside players, and her pure demeanor and angelic support abilities earned her a significant following. Of course, more importantly, she was scammed out of money by players, who would often play cards with her to defraud them of their basic living allowances. The week Jasmine's ability was first discovered, forums were buzzing with searches for the consequences of defrauding NPCs. However, nothing happened, and she continued to scam NPCs daily, demonstrating her exceptional integrity.

Zhou Ning was surprised to find that the third most popular character was Smith Hall, the Plane Child of the Church of the God of War. Many players had witnessed Smith Hall's nightmare and learned about his tragic love story. This helped him attract many fans and even formed a chat group called the Smith Hall Tauren Club.

The fourth and fifth are Meredith and Leandro respectively. Meredith has always been a fixture in the top three since her debut. The only flaw is that she is too aloof and has zero communication with players. It is normal for her popularity to decline.

Leonardo was not originally on the list, but because of this team mission, his character image was established. He often guides players' skills in the Holy Star Cathedral, which makes players feel good about him.

After introducing the popularity ranking, the next is the popular ace program, the unlucky players ranking.

The unlucky player in this issue is still XB. Due to the huge difference in strength, every player in the Death Shadow group died many times, with an average of 27 deaths per person. However, according to statistics from the live broadcast room, XB died a total of 72 times, in various ways.

At this time, the optical computer played a tragic background music "Falling", which also became XB's execution song. In the tragic background music, XB was dead from beginning to end, and even the death rhythm was perfectly timed, highlighting a sonorous and powerful sound.

If you don't look carefully, you might think that many people died in this battle. The tragic BGM accompanied by close-ups of death from various angles is extremely tear-jerking.

In a rather joyful atmosphere, this episode of "Apocalypse Forecast" entered the penultimate stage, which is also one of the most popular parts of the show, the NPC strength ranking.

This time, the entire rankings underwent a drastic change, and Zhou Ning rarely made it into the top three. This was also a sign that Tianqi had entered a higher level.

Ranked first is the God of Creation. Although he only had a brief glimpse in the easter egg, his amazing aura, former status, and the title of the God of Creation made his status infinitely rise, undoubtedly surpassing the God of War who ranked first in the previous issue.

Ranked second is the Sun Goddess. Although she did not perform well in the battle, her powerful aura of a righteous god, her powerful performance of suppressing the righteous gods' dream seeds by fighting one against three, and her magnificent blow that ended the life of the Elf Goddess made her well-deserved second place.

The third on the list is naturally the last righteous god to appear, the God of War Blomfield. He suppressed the God of the Sea and the two righteous gods' dream seeds. His various powerful abilities are very impressive, and the battle lighting and shadow effects are also the most outstanding among the gods. His strength has undoubtedly been recognized by all players.

Ranked fourth is Wayne Stewell. The strength of this Apocalypse protagonist is obvious to all, and he is also considered by players to be the number one person below the gods.

The fifth is Pope Dorent of the Ascetic Church. Although he died in the middle of the battle, the strength and oppression he demonstrated were very strong. Of course, the light and shadow effects when he used the Crown of Sunlight also added a lot of points to him.

This list made Zhou Ning feel that players' aesthetic standards had finally begun to move away from the low-level taste of purely looking at light and shadow based on strength, but he and Dolent were still a little overconfident. Apart from anything else, at least the righteous gods who had returned from nothingness were stronger than himself.

Next is the last column, the five most famous scenes in the entire Apocalypse game in the past month. This is also the player's favorite column, which often has the most visual effects.

The fifth famous scene is the one in which he challenges the first level of his dream. Donning the Crown of Sunlight, he manifests Ryujin Jakka, a fireball with the warmth of the sun. He chants, "All things are reduced to ash!" and then uses his flaming sword to incinerate everything, even his dreams. This scene is truly breathtaking. However, due to the large number of famous scenes on this list, it can only be ranked fifth.

The fourth scene was originally chosen for the award, where Wayne Stewell, as king, releases Thirteen from his restraints. Frames of sunlight ignited in Zhou Ning's hand, merging into the sword and illuminating it, as if he were holding the actual sun. The scene was dreamlike and would have ranked in the top three. However, because a similar scene had already been selected, it was changed to a long shot.

The Docklands tragedy has already occurred, with victims everywhere, and Docklands has become a ghostly hell. Then, he reverses time and puts everything back into place. This scene switches constantly, and the camera locks on, the predetermined endgame rewinds with time, which is extremely shocking.

The third famous scene is the arrival of the First Emperor in the fourth dream, and the declaration that "I am Wayne Stewell, I am the Pope of the Starry Sky Church, I am the first and eternal emperor." Then the majestic Afang Palace and the Immortal Qin Empire descended. As the domineering and cold voice of the spirit sounded, the eternal heroes frozen under Mount Li were unsealed.

Originally, the players had no idea about the greatness of the First Emperor. At this time, the computer gave a close-up of the starry sky. At an infinite height, there was a Great Wall stretching 131,420 miles to defend against foreign enemies. That was a 131,420-mile interstellar orbital cannon.

Then countless artillery fire fell from the sky, covering everything and annihilating everything. This astonishing scene made all the players in the camera tremble with excitement.

The second famous scene is during the final battle, when Zhou Ning ordered the Creator God of Light to descend, and the original sun and the final sun merged into one. The beams of the Sun Goddess and the Creator God of Light merged together, causing the Life Elf Goddess, whose status was close to that of the old one, to be reduced to ashes.

The best famous scene was also contributed by myself. It was the scene of the God of Light and the God of Waves. Between the dark sky and earth, under the bright sunlight, the God of Light whom I summoned and the other God of Light whom I created emitted a brilliant and pure beam of light at the same time. This scene has become an eternal classic.

The apocalypse preview ends here.

At the end of the Apocalypse Preview, as usual, there is a mission description and an Easter egg plot to end the video.

[It can be confirmed... A new journey, a new story, and new enemies will appear ahead of the journey.]

[Can you follow Wayne Stewell to uncover all the mysteries and fight against evil? Or join the opposing camp and fight against Wayne Stewell? The history of Apocalypse is waiting for you to write. This is Apocalypse, a world that breathes!]

The screen flashed to a scene in the streets of the Kingdom of Luins. A woman was walking when she suddenly began to cough violently, spitting out countless black clots of blood. Nearby, an old man experienced the same condition.

Not far away, several cultists in black robes were passing by, preaching the teachings of the Death Cult along the way.

The scene changed, and in the City of Omniscience, the holy temple of the Parliament of Knowledge, the statue of Guarani, the god of knowledge and wisdom, came to life and walked down from the pedestal.

Finally, above a small island, a pair of golden eyes appeared, and a subtitle popped up:

【Welcome to Apocalypse 3.0 - Echoes of Doom! 】
