When they realized that the figure riding Auerbeck had been Shi Feng, silence fell in Divine Tribeâs temporary Residence as everyone stared at the Swordsman.
MacAffrey and Crimson Witch, in particular, watched Shi Feng walk toward them with dropped jaws. They both felt as if they were looking at a monster with limitless strength.
Whenever they thought that they had seen the depths of Shi Fengâs, they soon learned that all they had seen was a fraction.
Shi Fengâs Crimson Dragon Flying Ship, for example, and the Domain tools he had used to suppress the Starlight Behemoth and strengthen the Silver Lion Legion; the various superpowers coveted these items, yet they couldnât get their hands on them. Shi Feng, on the other hand, had them all.
Moreover, Shi Feng had successfully captured the Starlight Fortress, a feat none of the various superpowers could accomplish at this stage of the game.
And now, Shi Feng even had a DragonâŠ
Dragons were creatures of ultimate destruction in Godâs Domain. Even the various NPC kingdoms and empires got headaches whenever one showed up, and yet, Shi Feng had one under his control.
Even if Auerbeck were only a Tier 4 Infant Dragon, it would be more than enough to deter the various superpowers from attacking the Starlight Fortress.
âSo, this is why heâs so confident.â Realization dawned on Fithalia when she glanced at the Divine Dragon standing silently behind Shi Feng. She now had an inkling of why Shi Feng had rejected her proposal after learning that the western continentâs superpowers might band together to target his fortress.
With Auerbeck here, the superpowersâ experts would have to be suicidal to cause a ruckus in the Starlight Fortress. They wouldnât even have the chance to escape if Auerbeck set his sights on them.
Shortly after Shi Feng had arrived at Divine Tribeâs temporary Residence with Auerbeck, some of the various superpowersâ spies reported the situation to their superiors.
âImpossible! Youâre talking about a Dragon!â
âHow can a player possibly control such a powerful monster?â
When the various superpowersâ upper echelons read the reports, they assumed their subordinates had turned traitorous, trying to trick them with false information to prevent them from assaulting the Starlight Fortress.
However, as these upper echelons continued to receive similar reports from other spies in Divine Tribe, they couldnât deny the truth. There was no way all of their spies had turned against them at once.
To gain more information and a better understanding of the situation in the Starlight Fortress, they had secretly paid a huge price to turn some of Divine Tribeâs members in the fortress to their side. Naturally, they had ensured that none of the bribed players knew about each other to prevent these players from collaborating to provide false information for Divine Tribeâs benefit.
Although the reports were unbelievable, it was undeniable after receiving reports from over a dozen spies.
Once they had verified the information, a commotion swept through the various superpowers.
Some of the superpowers that had planned to assault the fortress began to hesitate. They carefully considered whether or not they should oppose Shi Feng and the Divine Tribe with the rest of the superpowers.
Before the Dragon had appeared, they had been 90% sure that they could take the Starlight Fortress. Even if they failed, theyâd ensure that no one could use the fortress, even if Divine Tribe sent all of its experts to protect it.
However, the situation had changed.
If they tried to take the fortress with a Tier 4 Dragon guard, theyâd suffer severe losses. Players didnât have a snowflakeâs chance in hell of defeating a Tier 4 Dragon, which was a fact the various superpowers had long since verified. Since Godâs Domainâs launch, Dragons had been responsible for the destruction of many NPC border cities. The western continent proved to be far more dangerous than the east.
Of course, if they gave up on this operation, theyâd have a very difficult time finding another opportunity to move against the Starlight Fortress. The fortress had only recently been captured, and even if Divine Tribe had invested a ton of manpower and resources in its repairs, the Guild couldnât fully repair the fortress in three short days. The Starlight Fortress was at its weakest right now.
If they did not assault the Starlight Fortress now, taking it would only become more challenging as time passed.
While the various superpowers considered their next move, a 300-man team attacked a Demonic Creature army camp in a Level 100 neutral map not far from Star Valley.
Not only did this campsite house over 6,000 Demonic Creatures, but every one was Level 110. These Demonic Creatures were even led by a Level 112, Mythic ranked Eight-eyed Scorpion King.
Despite such a powerful force, however, the 300-man team held an overwhelming advantage in the battle.
They even overwhelmed the Scorpion King, not to mention the Level 110 Grand Lords. The armyâs Boss couldnât manage to deal any significant damage, while the 300-man team continued to chip away at its HP.
The team hadnât suffered a single casualty, even by the time the Scorpion King fell. In contrast, Demonic Creature corpses littered the ground.
âWe really got lucky this time. Not only did we find a Demonic Creature campsite, but the Scorpion King also dropped a Level 100-plus Epic battle axe. Thunder, this axe should go to you,â a thin man in pitch-black armor said as he handed the battle axe to another man, who stood nearly three meters tall and was covered in runes.
If MacAffrey had seen this, he wouldâve been astonished.
This team was the Hell Legion, the Netherworld Empireâs strongest trump card legion. Every member was a Tier 3 player, and they all had the combat standards to rival Grand Lords of the same level.
The thin man, shrouded in a dense, lethal aura, felt as powerful as a Mythic monsterâŠ
âCommander, weâve just received a report from the higher-ups. They claim that a Tier 4 Infant Dragon is guarding the Starlight Fortress, and because of this, many superpowers have abandoned the notion of assaulting the fortress. Our superiors are warning us to be careful,â a Tier 3, black-clad Assassin suddenly informed the thin man.
âAn Infant Dragon?â The manâs lips curled into a smile. âHow interesting. Itâs no wonder why they captured the Starlight Fortress, disregarding the consequences, but if they think that can stop us, theyâre mistaken.â
Other superpowers might be afraid of the Dragon that protected the Starlight Fortress, but the Hell Legion was not.

The reason was very simple.
There was only one Dragon in the fortress, while the Hell Legion had 300 players.
If the Hell Legion went on a rampage inside the fortress, they could slay hundreds or thousands of players before the Dragon would reach them. Theyâd also be able to escape the Dragonâs pursuit. They werenât concerned that they couldnât take down the Starlight Fortress in the least.
âCommander, Iâve received another important message. Youâve received a request to negotiate with Fithalia,â the black- clad Assassin added.
âFithalia?â The thin man smiled when he heard the name. âSince an old friend has so graciously invited me, I must show her the proper respect. Pack up, everyone. Weâre heading to the Starlight Fortress.â
