Shi Feng was quite excited to have successfully summoned the Dark Tower. He had only ever heard of the tower in the past; he had never actually seen or experienced one.
The Dark Seed was extremely rare in Godâs Domain, even rarer than Fragmented Legendary items. Hence, Shi Feng had been quite surprised when Bright Dawn had revealed the item.
To summon a Dark Tower, players first needed to defeat the Demon summoned with a Dark Seed. However, killing that particular Demon was easier said than done.
Players had often relied on NPCs to suppress and defeat these summoned Demons during Shi Fengâs previous life. Killing one without such help was extremely difficult.
Although the NPCsâ participation wouldnât interfere with the Dark Tower Designâs drop-rate, NPCs wouldnât allow the construction to exist. Theyâd confiscate the Dark Tower Design the moment it appeared; players wouldnât have a chance to get their hands on the item.
Because of this, Shi Feng could count the number of powers that had successfully summoned a Dark Tower on one hand. Moreover, outsiders werenât allowed within a tower or city that contained a Dark Tower. Only allied or subordinate Guilds would be granted entry.
Shi Feng had merely been a second-rate Guildâs Guild Leader in his past. Even ordinary superpowers had been unreachable, not to mention top-ranked superpowers. They had simply lived in different worlds.
Hence, Shi Feng had never expected to summon a Dark Tower now.
âWe donât have much time left, Guild Leader Black Flame. The allied superpowersâ 50,000-man army will arrive in less than half an hour,â Yuan Tiexin reminded the younger man when he saw Shi Fengâs relaxed expression.
From his point of view, Shi Feng didnât seem to understand the danger they were in right now.
The Dark Tower might be powerful, but one or two defensive structures wouldnât be enough to stop the enemy they were about to face.
Theyâre all here?â Shi Fengâs smile brightened at the news. âIn that case, letâs go meet them.â
âMeet them?â Yuan Tiexin was flabbergasted. Hurriedly, he asked, âIsnât that too dangerous? Even with Stone Forest Cityâs support, stopping them will be difficult. If we lose our terrain advantage, weâll be fish on the chopping block. With how much they have to gain, they wonât hold back.â
âLetâs see them try,â Shi Feng said, laughing.
âThisâŚâ Shi Fengâs very existence baffled Yuan Tiexin. He couldnât tell whether the Swordsman was incredibly confident or just foolish.
âItâs fine. I donât mind going by myself,â Shi Feng suggested once he noticed Yuan Tiexinâs hesitation.
âThat wonât do! The Secret Pavilion is one of Stone Forest Cityâs shareholders. Since youâre going, Guild Leader Black Flame, how can I just stand by and watch? Besides, if the Secret Pavilion makes an appearance, these superpowers might hold back out of fear, maintaining some pretense,â Yuan Tiexin said, shaking his head as he prepared to risk his life alongside Shi Feng.
He didnât think that meeting the various superpowers was altogether a bad idea. They hadnât reached Stone Forest City just yet, so they might have an opportunity to ally with a few of these invading superpowers. However, if they waited until the armies arrived and solidified their alliance, the Secret Pavilion and Zero Wing would lose any hope of holding the city.
Following which, Shi Feng and Yuan Tiexin left Stone Forest City and made their way toward the various superpowersâ armies, which had just entered the Undead Forest.
Both of these individuals were well-known in the virtual gaming world at this point. Even if the various superpowersâ members werenât familiar with Zero Wing, they had heard of Black Flame.
âWhy are they here?â
âBy the looks of it, theyâve come to negotiate.â
Youâre probably right. After all, we have 50,000 top-tier experts on our side. How could a recently promoted Guild City possibly stop us?â
The various superpowersâ forces were surprised to see Shi Feng and Yuan Tiexin approach, discussing the matter amongst themselves.
âWhat is Black Flame trying to do? He actually wants to negotiate now?â Illusory Words was astonished to see the two famous players emerge from between the trees.
If they wanted to negotiate, they shouldâve done so before the various superpowersâ armies had gathered. Now that these superpowers had combined their forces, convincing any of them to switch sides would be practically impossible. After all, they now had the initiative.
âYou actually have to ask?â Crimson Gate replied with a sneer. âHe mustâve realized how terrifying this army is and realized that he isnât strong enough to stop us. Heâs probably here to try to recruit three or four superpowers. If he succeeds, he might be able to hold onto a fraction of Stone Forest City.â
Every superpower present shared the same thought. They couldnât think of any other reason that Shi Feng would make such a risky move.
If they killed Shi Feng here, theyâd deal a severe mental blow to Zero Wing as a whole. Doing so would also increase their membersâ morale, making it easier to capture Stone Forest City.
âWhy are you here, Black Flame?â
âIf youâre here to negotiate, Iâd advise you to turn around. Of course, weâll let you leave safely if you obediently hand over Stone Forest City. Ultimately, we only want the city, not your pitiful lives.â
âThatâs right! Give us Stone Forest City, and weâll let you leave with your lives!â
The superpowersâ upper echelons mocked Shi Feng and Yuan Tiexin with playful, confident attitudes. Naturally, the idea that theyâd let Zero Wingâs members escape if Shi Feng handed the city over was nothing more than a joke. Every player in Godâs Domain had already heard of Zero Wingâs provocation. If they did not make an example of the offending Guild, how could they protect their reputations?
âHand over Stone Forest City?â Shi Feng could not help but laugh. âArenât you quite full of yourselves?â
Every player fell silent when they heard Shi Fengâs comment. Even Yuan Tiexin stared at the Swordsman, dumbfounded as he felt his stress peak.
They werenât here to negotiate an alliance?
What was going on?
He even began to wonder if Shi Feng understood their current predicament.
They stood before an army of 50,000 players, all of which were experts among experts. If they worked together, killing a monster-level expert would be childâs play.
Yuan Tiexinâs scalp tingled just from being the center of these expertsâ attention. He didnât even dare imagine what would happen if they started a fight with these players.
Illusory Words, who stood among the joint army, was just as flabbergasted.

She had seen many courageous people before, but this was the first time she had encountered anyone as bold as Shi Feng. He had just openly provoked 12 superpowers with a simple comment. Only death awaited him now.
âIs this guy stupid?â
âDoes he really believe heâs invincible? Heâs only defeated Starlink. He better not run once the battle truly begins!â
As the superpowersâ fury grew, Shi Feng snapped his fingers.
In response, Stone Forest Townâs Dark Tower used its dark energy to manifest a vast Darkness Domain that enveloped the Undead Forest. All players within the Domain, both friend and foe, felt an immense weight drag at their bodies, losing more than half of their combat powerâŚ
