As Prosciutto watched the videos Odin sent him, his heartbeat gradually grew erratic. Even his complexion turned somewhat gloomy.
âVice Commander?â Lina prompted, a little puzzled by Prosciuttoâs reaction.
However, Prosciutto did not respond to Linaâs worry. Instead, his gaze suddenly turned indescribably grim.
âImpossible! The Commander actually failed to take down that girl?â Prosciuttoâs mood fluctuated violently after watching one of the videos.
âVice Commander, what happened?â
âDid something happen on the Commanderâs side?â
âHow is that possible?! Even the four other Guilds wouldnât dare pick a fight with the Commander unless theyâre tired of living!â
Prosciuttoâs strange performance surprised and puzzled Lina and the others. They couldnât understand what had happened to provoke such emotional swings in their vice commander.
After seeing Prosciuttoâs reaction, Odin smiled and said, âNow you know why, right?
âI have to admit that the new era has truly come. Whenever I see you youngsters, I canât help but feel that I really have grown old.â
Odinâs words confused Lina and the others even more. However, as if triggered by these words, a hint of excitement flashed in Prosciuttoâs eyes.
âI see. Thank you for your teachings, sir. I will take this as a warning,â Prosciutto said sincerely.
âGood! Now, this is the little fellow I used to fancy.â Odin nodded in satisfaction. âMythology will have to rely on your bunch in the future.â
âSir Odin, what exactly happened?â Lina asked Odin nervously.
Initially, with her status, she shouldnât be questioning Odin at all. However, after seeing Prosciuttoâs transformation, she couldnât help her curiosity.
âItâs nothing. We simply had four of our other Resource Nodes snatched away,â Odin said, chuckling.
âFour other Resource Nodes were taken? How is this possible?â Lina gaped in shock, unable to get her mind around it. âWho is so bold to actually do this? Is it the four other Guilds?â
Besides Lina, the peak experts of Mythology standing nearby were also stunned by Odinâs words, their eyes full of disbelief.
Their giving away one Resource Node was already plenty unbelievable. Now, they were hearing that four more of the Guildâs Resource Nodes had been taken. This sounded more like fiction than reality.
âYou guys have a look too.â
Seeing the doubtful gazes focused on him, Odin laughed and passed the information to everyone. The information Odin sent consisted of four videos showing the battles that took place in the four other Resource Nodes. Moreover, these had occurred when their team was fighting Black Flame.
In the first battle video, the person leading the assault on the Resource Node was Gentle Snow, the woman the various superpowers were currently fearful of. She single-handedly slew over 200 Mythology members with just three attacks. The 20-plus peak experts didnât even last one move against her. They all died in the spatial storm she created.
Aside from peak experts, there were also three Domain Realm Elders defending the Resource Node. One of the three had even reached the Domain Realmâs upper stage. Yet, even after all three of them activated their Demidragon Bloodlines, they actually failed to last more than ten moves against Gentle Snow!
Ten moves!
In front of Gentle Snow, the three Eldersâ fierce and enigmatic attacks were jokes. Not only did the woman easily unravel their attacks, but she even turned their attacks against them. She used the Combination Skill the three Elders executed to instantly obliterate the Elder that had reached the Domain Realmâs upper stage. In this battle, Mythology had lost over 400 experts. If not for Gentle Snow refraining from pursuing the fleeing members, the Guildâs losses wouldâve been even worse.
In the second battle video, the person leading the attack was Fire Dance. Although Fire Dance did not possess Gentle Snowâs monstrous techniques, her Basic Attributes were not the slightest bit inferior to those of Tier 4 existences. In addition, her speed was simply godlike. From start to end, not one peak expert managed to touch her. The peak experts could only watch as Fire Dance inflicted cut after cut after cut on their armor, continuously plundering their HPs until nothing remained.
Of the defending team at the second Resource Node, only the Lightning Hammer, Vice Commander Howard Woz, who was the core of the team, could keep up with Fire Danceâs speed. In fact, the two of them were evenly matched, neither able to get the better of the other. However, Alluring Summer was in Zero Wingâs team. With her full strength, she cast a Tier 3 Super Spell on him. This left Howard Woz with no choice but to defend. Otherwise, the Super Spell would level the Resource Node itself.
During the brief moment Howard revealed a gap in his defense, Fire Dance seized the opportunity to land a heavy blow, breaking one of his arms. Hence, Howardâs combat power plummeted. Subsequently, Zhao Yueru triple-cast three Tier 3 Curses on him, finishing him off. With Howardâs death, Zero Wing and Frost Heavenâs team, which was originally at a disadvantage, immediately gained the upper hand and eventually captured the Resource Node.
Meanwhile, the battle in the third Resource Node was even more astonishing. Lina and the others nearly went crazy upon watching it.
After all, the third Resource Nodeâs defender was none other than the Divine Spear Demon Rex, the commander of Mythologyâs trump card legion. Rex was a legendary individual in Mythology-and someone Vice Commander Prosciutto had never once beaten.
Yet, in the third video, Rex was actually evenly matched with a girl.
Although this girlâs Basic Attributes were only nearing the Tier 4 standard, her control over Mana was superb. Wielding 300-plus magic blades, she prevented Rex from gaining the upper hand. In fact, the girl even slaughtered many experts from Mythology during their clash.
Afterward, Rex grew thoroughly enraged and used the combat array he kept in reserve to try to land a fatal blow on Violet Cloud. However, before this hit could land, a tall man carrying a massive shield blocked it.
Subsequently, the battle continued for quite some time. Relying on her nimble movements, Violet Cloud always managed to duck behind Colaâs protection at critical moments. While Cola bore the brunt of Rexâs attacks, she would also instantly heal Cola back to full HP. The duoâs combination turned them into undying zombies, and they held out until Rexâs combat array expired.
Although both sides suffered equally heavy losses after the long battle, as Rex no longer had the combat arrayâs support, he was utterly powerless to do anything about Violet Cloud. To make matters worse, as Zero Wingâs and Frost Heavenâs numbers dwindled, their members became more difficult to kill.
In contrast, the rate at which Mythologyâs members got killed only increased as the battle continued. Eventually, in order to avoid the other Guilds taking advantage of Mythology, Rex had no choice but to abandon the Resource Node to conserve his teamâs Stamina and Concentration.
While the outcome could be said to be a draw, since Mythology gave up the Resource Node, the overall result was still a loss.
âWe lost three Resource Nodes, just like that?â Lina protested in denial after watching the three videos. After calming down, though, she said hurriedly, âEven so, thereâs no reason to let Zero Wing off the hook!â
While Zero Wing had indeed displayed astonishing combat power, Mythology could easily reclaim its lost Resource Nodes after reorganizing its forces. After all, they already knew what Zero Wing was capable of. It would be much easier to counter Zero Wingâs forces afterward.
âImpossible. Youâll know once you take a look at the fourth video,â Prosciutto said. âThe fourth video?â Lina was puzzled.

What relation did the fourth video have with their not being able to deal with Zero Wing?
Even if Black Flame was a Tier 4 Sword Emperor, Mythology still had the means to deal with him. Even if Zero Wing had one or two more powerful combatants, it still wouldnât be a match for Mythology.
However, Lina still listened to Prosciutto and played the fourth video.
âWhatâs going on? Why isnât there anything here?â Lina asked when she saw only an empty plain in the video.
âThatâs right. There is nothing at all.â Prosciutto nodded. He then added slowly, âBecause that place was thoroughly flattened.â
