When Heiser saw the two flame dragons before her, shock, desire, and doubt overwhelmed her. She even forgot to resist. All she did was mutter a question.
âYou areâŚa Mortal G.o.d?â
Mortal G.o.d. This was a realm that Heiser could only dream of achieving, even after developing her own Advanced Gold Combat Technique. It was also the dream of countless players in the Greater G.o.dâs Domain.
Unfortunately, she couldnât even find information on the World Towerâs sixth floor after scouring the Greater G.o.dâs Domain, not to mention information on Mortal G.o.ds.
Yet, a living, breathing Mortal G.o.d now stood before her. After all, apart from a Mortal G.o.d, she couldnât think of any other kind of expert that could simultaneously execute two Advanced Gold Fusion Techniques.
The difficulty of executing an Advanced Gold Fusion Technique was greater than even that of Peak Gold Combat Techniques. Even as a Half-step Mortal G.o.d, Heiser found executing a Peak Gold Combat Technique difficult. Naturally, a Twofold Peak Gold Combat Technique was out of the question.
Since Red Frost could accomplish such an impossible feat, it could only mean one thing.
Red Frost was an expert who had reached the sixth-floor standard!
Red Frost was a Mortal G.o.d!
However, before Heiser could get confirmation from Red Frost, the two flame dragons devoured her, and she was already outside the ring when she regained her senses.
âŚ
Am I hallucinating? Did I just see a Twofold Advanced Gold Fusion Technique?
Watching from his VIP room, South Lake couldnât help but rub his eyes as he looked at the battlefield. However, no matter how many times he had the system replay the match, the outcome did not change.
Silence!
South Lakeâs room wasnât the only place enveloped in silence. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped for the whole arena as the spectators stared at Red Frost, their faces colored with shock, excitement, and disbelief.
How?! How is this possible?! How did she reach the legendary sixth-floor standard?!
Ember Dragon gazed at Red Frost like he was meeting her for the first time, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with desire and disbelief.
In the human raceâs Greater G.o.dâs Domain, anyone who was an executive of a pseudo-apex power or above would know that there wasnât actually much of a difference in the combat standards of their strongest members.
Not to mention Half-step Mortal G.o.ds, even experts who could develop their own Gold Combat Techniques were as rare as a phoenixâs feather among pseudo-apex powers. As for Half-step Mortal G.o.ds who could develop their own Advanced Gold Combat Techniques, this was already the limit that apex powers could achieve. For this reason, Half-step Mortal G.o.ds were typically key representatives or individuals with substantial influence in apex powers. They were the true foundation of apex powers.
As for the Mortal G.o.ds of legend, if any apex power had an expert of this caliber, it would have already become the sole ruling power in the human raceâs Greater G.o.dâs Domain.
This was because a sixth-floor expertâs technical knowledge was an irresistible temptation to experts who had reached the limits of the fifth-floor standard. Even if a sixth-floor expert was poorly equipped and low-leveled, many fifth-floor experts would still seek to become their follower, hoping to receive pointers and watch them fight up close.
It wouldnât be an exaggeration to say that so long as a Mortal G.o.d issued a summons, countless experts would come together and form an organization of epic might and proportions under the Mortal G.o.d. Holy Dragon Spear would be nothing but a joke compared to such a behemoth.
âŚ
A sixth-floor expert! Frost is a sixth-floor expert! Xiao Yilong grew ecstatic after realizing Red Frostâs combat standard. Then, he turned to s.h.i.+ Feng and eagerly asked, âGuild Leader Black Flame, is Red Frost a sixth-floor expert already?â
Although Red Frostâs performance made it clear she was a Mortal G.o.d, Xiao Yilong still couldnât help but turn to s.h.i.+ Feng for confirmation. He felt that only s.h.i.+ Feng could give him the real answer.
âYes. Commander Frost reached the sixth-floor standard not long ago,â s.h.i.+ Feng said, chuckling. âPresently, she is the undisputed number one in the human raceâs Greater G.o.dâs Domain when it comes to combat standards.â
s.h.i.+ Feng could empathize with Xiao Yilongâs shock and excitement. He vividly remembered how shocked he was when the first Mortal G.o.d appeared in the human raceâs Greater G.o.dâs Domain.
After all, this was a sign that human players could achieve greater heights!
âGreat! This is great!â Xiao Yilong laughed, unable to contain his excitement any longer. âWith this, the Elders, the Grand Elders, and even the Great Commander must stand with us!â
A Mortal G.o.d!
So long as Holy Dragon Spearâs Elders and Grand Elders had a functioning brain, they would know what this meant. As for the partners.h.i.+p with the Dragon G.o.d Palace, how could it compare to the humongous benefits Red Frost could bring Holy Dragon Spear?
âŚ
âIt is my loss. I shouldnât have expected less from a genius the old commander admires,â Heiser said, taking the initiative to approach Red Frost when she saw the latter walking out of the ring. Then, she tentatively asked, âCan I ask for a chance to receive your guidance?â
âGuidance?â Red Frost was a little surprised when she saw the anxiety in Heiserâs eyes. She hadnât expected her opponent to be so straightforward and innocent. Nodding, she said, âOf course.â
âThank you.â Heiser couldnât help but smile when she heard Red Frostâs answer.
Subsequently, after Heiser reluctantly made her way to the spectator stands, Twilight Leaf and the other chosen ones of Holy Dragon Spear swarmed Red Frost. They all expressed their wish to receive guidance from Red Frost in the future. Suddenly, the highly antic.i.p.ated Battle of the Chosen Ones became an exhibition match.
However, n.o.body from the audience voiced any complaints about this change. On the contrary, everyone was more than happy to see Red Frost fight every partic.i.p.ant.
âŚ
âIt seems thereâs no longer a need to decide who is number one,â South Lake said, smiling wryly as he looked at the chosen ones surrounding Red Frost.
âIndeed,â the old man beside South Lake said, chuckling. âNow, our Great Commander should carefully consider how he should compensate our number one chosen one. Otherwise, she might very well lose her temper and leave Holy Dragon Spear. If that happens, his days as the Great Commander will be over.â
âYouâŚâ South Lake rolled his eyes at Apocalypse. âFine. Isnât it just making an enemy out of the Dragon G.o.d Palace? Whatâs there to be afraid of?â
However, before South Lake and Apocalypse could continue their conversation, the defensive magic array protecting Flame Vein Holy City suddenly shattered, and multiple s.p.a.ce-time pa.s.sages appeared above the city. Immediately afterward, Level 220-plus, Tier 6 NPCs and players flew out of these s.p.a.ce-time pa.s.sages in an orderly formation, forming an army of half a million in no time.
When the players in Flame Vein Holy City saw the two NPCs lead the army, they couldnât help but be shocked.
Grand Duke of the Imperial Ice Empire, Hawke Barron, a Level 244, Tier 6 NPC!
Grand Marshal of the Five Saints Empire, Highgate the Heavenly Dragon, a Level 242, Tier 6 NPC!
âWhatâs going on?â
âWhy are the two empires here?â
âDid the Dragon G.o.d Palace and the Divine Wing Dynasty join forces?â
The army above the city consisted of NPCs and players from the Imperial Ice Empire and the Five Saints Empire. Members of two pseudo-apex powers, specifically the Dragon G.o.d Palace and the Divine Wing Dynasty, were also among its ranks. When Flame Vein Holy Cityâs players saw this, they were dumbfounded.
<blockquote>Regional System Announcement: The Imperial Ice Empire and the Five Saints Empire have declared war on Flame Vein Holy City. Flame Vein Holy Cityâs City Lord has requested a.s.sistance from all players in the Holy City. If the city wins the war, players will be awarded Contribution Points to exchange for treasures from the cityâs treasury. If the city loses the war, all players will have their Flame Vein Holy City Reputation Points and owners.h.i.+p of the cityâs real estate reset.</blockquote>
