Everyone in the Divine Colosseum was stunned when Zero Wing arrived.
âHow are their levels so high?â
âSo many of them have already reached Level 78! Starlink doesnât even have 1,000 Level 78 players, yet Zero Wing has more than 3,000!â
âIs this because of the benefits in Stone Forest City?â
The various powersâ upper echelons were especially shocked when they saw the levels of Zero Wingâs members.
The fact that Zero Wing had Level 78 players wasnât particularly surprising. Many of Godâs Domainâs peak experts had long since reached that level and were only a step away from Level 79.
What truly shocked them was the number of Level 78 players Zero Wing possessed. The Guild had far more than the various superpowers, which suggested that their leveling speed was even greater than the various superpowersâ members.
Previously, the average level of Zero Wingâs experts hadnât been a match for the various superpowersâ, but after establishing a city in the Bottomless Abyss not so long ago, these expertsâ average level was so much higher than the superpowersâ experts.
The level difference wasnât even half a level, but as time passed, that gap could grow to a full level or more.
While a single level might not seem like much, the benefits of such a lead were massive.
This was especially true when it came to the minor thresholds every five levels. A one-level lead could give Zero Wing a three to five headstart in Dungeons over the various superpowers.
âSure enough, Stone Forest City provides some major benefits. Itâs no wonder why Zero Wing dares to clash with Starlink,â Delicate Blood commented. Even she was a little jealous when she saw the levels of Zero Wingâs members.
Levels were the foundation of playersâ strength in Godâs Domain. A higher-level meant players could hunt stronger monsters and gain better resources, and as players leveled up, they could use higher-level equipment. Moreover, as players leveled up, they could also use higher-leveled equipment.
âI told you Zero Wingâs loss isnât assured,â Unyielding Heart delightfully responded when he saw the envious look on Delicate Bloodâs face.
Ordinary players might not notice anything odd about Zero Wingâs levels, but Guild upper echelons knew exactly what they meant.
There were no leveling shortcuts in Godâs Domain. The fact that Zero Wingâs members had leveled up so quickly meant they had gained more EXP than others. The only way to do that was to kill more monsters, higher-leveled monsters, or complete more quests. Regardless of which method Zero Wing employed, it was certain that they had gained more resources than their competition.
Now that Zero Wingâs experts were a higher level on average than Starlinkâs, Zero Wing had amassed just as many, if not more, resources than the larger Guild. That fact was also clear in the equipment Zero Wingâs members wore. Even the weakest piece of equipment they wore was Level 75 Secret-Silver rank.
Unyielding Heart could tell that although Starlink had explored more of the Bottomless Abyssâs first floor than Zero Wing, Zero Wing had secured more resources from the Regional Dungeon.
He knew that Zero Wing didnât lack top-tier equipment. Starlink might have a large number of Evil Spirit Sets, but Zero Wing could mass-produce the Crystal Light Set, which was one rank higher. Most importantly, the Crystal Light Set could level up with its user.
Although the Crystal Light Set would not undergo a qualitative transformation at Level 78, it was still superior to Level 75 Dark-Gold Set Equipment in terms of Basic Attributes. Needless to say, it was leaps and bounds ahead of the Level 75 Fine-Gold ranked Evil Spirit Set.
âDonât celebrate so soon, Heart. Levels are important, but a small level gap wonât make a difference. The expertsâ quality will decide the victor of this match,â Delicate Blood retorted, rolling her eyes at Unyielding Heart.
Zero Wing might have a slight edge when it came to levels, but the quality of its experts still couldnât compare to Starlinkâs. Any Refinement Realm expert could tell the difference between Zero Wingâs standards and Starlinkâs.
Of the 10,000 experts Starlink had dispatched, more than 700 were Refinement Realm experts!
A current first-rate Guild would be impressive if it had 10 Refinement Realm experts. An ordinary superpower, at most, would only have around 400 such experts.
Yet, Starlink had sent more than 700 Refinement Realm experts to this match. Starlinkâs foundations were much sturdier than an ordinary superpowerâs.
This was why the various superpowersâ upper echelons had been so surprised to see Starlinkâs experts. With so many Refinement Realm experts, Starlinkâs army could easily trample over a 10,000-man expert army.
Although these upper echelons were surprised to see that Zero Wing had nearly 100 Refinement Realm experts, it was nothing compared to Starlink.
Once experts had reached the Refinement Realm, they could exhibit far greater combat power when they cooperated.
A three-on-one fight between Refinement Realm experts would end in seconds, and Starlink had nearly eight times more Refinement Realm experts than Zero Wing.
Seven or eight Refinement Realm experts could even take down Flowing Water Realm experts.
Unyielding Heart fell silent after Delicate Bloodâs last comment.
Starlinkâs foundations were even stronger than he had expected. Even Unyielding Soul wouldnât be a match for the larger Guild, much less Zero Wing.
Meanwhile, a white-clad youth watched Zero Wingâs members, surprised, from within one of the Divine Colosseumâs VIP rooms. It was none other than Thirteen Thronesâ Guild Leader, Melancholy.
Zero Wing is certainly impressive. It has grown so powerful in such a short time. With a little more time and resources, it could certainly become a superpower in Godâs Domain. Itâs a pity that it has to face Starlink. Zero Wing might have a chance of winning if it had to face any other superpower.
Melancholyâs investigation into the Guild had been brief, and rumors circulated, stating that Zero Wing only had a handful of experts, while the rest of the Guildâs members were quite weak. However, seeing Zero Wingâs force for this match, it seemed those rumors had been mistaken. Zero Wing had the ability to form a 100-man raid team of Refinement Realm experts. It was an amazing foundation. Not a single first-rate Guild was a match for Zero Wing.
Not even ordinary superpowers could shake Zero Wingâs foundations without taking damage.
Moreover, Melancholy was shocked to see that Zero Wing had a Domain Realm expert other than Shi Feng. If he included Zero Wingâs main force commander, Fire Dance, and Vice Guild Leader, Gentle Snow, the guild should have four apex combatants in total. That was nearly as many as an ordinary superpower.
If Zero Wing were truly this powerful, heâd definitely get his moneyâs worth in the upcoming fortress siege.
Although Zero Wing was still much weaker than Starlink, many of the superpowers in the Divine Colosseum reevaluated their opinions of the Guild.
âI have to say, Black Flame; youâve really surprised me. To think you could actually gather so many experts without anyone finding out, itâs no wonder why you spouted such nonsense,â Lu Xingluo said, smiling at Shi Feng, who led Zero Wingâs army. âUnfortunately, your force isnât strong enough. Iâll give you one last chance. Admit defeat now and permit Starlinkâs members to enter Stone Forest City. Do that, and Iâll forget everything that has happened between us.â
The watching crowd was dumbfounded to hear Lu Xingluoâs offer.
This was Starlinkâs opportunity to destroy Zero Wing in the Dark Night Empire, yet Lu Xingluo offered to let Zero Wing off the hook?
Iâve really underestimated Lu Xingluo. It seems heâs not as simple as I assumed. Melancholy carefully watched Lu Xingluo with narrowed eyes.
The outcome of this match was already obvious. Regardless of whether or not these two Guilds fought, the Dark Night Empireâs major powers recognized how powerful Starlink truly was.
Not only could Lu Xingluo continue to hide Starlinkâs strength by offering such a deal, but heâd also gain entry into Stone Forest City, killing two birds with one stone.
Zero Wing could also benefit from the deal. If Starlinkâs members entered Stone Forest City en masse, Zero Wingâs income would rise significantly, and if Starlink stopped harassing Zero Wing, the smaller Guild could increase its development speed. Moreover, by admitting defeat, rather than fight a losing battle, Zero Wing could hide a portion of its strength from the public.

Unyielding Heart breathed a sigh of relief. This wasnât a perfect outcome, but it wasnât the worst scenario, either.
The rest of the various powersâ upper echelons sighed with disappointment. None of them had expected Lu Xingluo to make such an offer. Now, they wouldnât get the show they were hoping for. The attending superpowers were particularly disappointed as they had hoped to discover Starlinkâs exact strength. The Guild had simply been growing too fast.
Unfortunately, that was no longer possible. Even a fool could recognize the best decision here, not to mention a Guild Leader like Shi Feng.
However, as everyone expected this farce to end, a low voice echoed throughout the hall.
âAdmit defeat? Iâm afraid you donât qualify to demand such a thing!â
