Chapter 1017 ā Second Great Divine Set
āDemonās Gateās promotion caught everyone by surprise. None of the various powers expected it to get promoted before the Seven Luminaries Alliance,ā Blackie said. Then, when he saw s.h.i.+ Fengās skeptical look, he sighed helplessly, āHowever, Demonās Gate quickly proved to everyone it deserved to be a royal power. Shortly after the G.o.dās Domain a.s.sociation announced Demonās Gateās promotion, Demonās Gate dealt a heavy blow to the Thunder Empire in the primordial ruin.
āThe Thunder Empire mobilized the Lightning Nation, seven Divine Set users, and nearly 30 old monsters fully equipped with Divine Artifacts for that battle. Yet, over half of these experts were permanently killed, and even the Lightning Nation got destroyedā¦ā
āEven the Lightning Nation got destroyed?ā This news took s.h.i.+ Feng by surprise.
The Thunder Empireās Lightning Nation was incredibly famous in his previous life. It was labeled the strongest offensive Epic Siege Weapon. It could injure even Primordial G.o.ds if used without regard for its durability.
He highly doubted the Thunder Empire would use the Lightning Nation conservatively when there was a threat of permanent death to many of its top experts. The Thunder Empire would be even less likely to hold back when the Lightning Nation itself faced the threat of destruction.
However, he also found it hard to imagine Demonās Gate having any means to defend against the Lightning Nationās full power. Even if Demonās Gateās Nine Great Experts were mobilized in full force, they would only be throwing themselves into the jaws of death by facing the Lightning Nation. Yet, Demonās Gate had somehow destroyed the Lightning Nation. This was simply unbelievable.
āAfter its sudden rise, Demonās Gate began ma.s.s-recruiting members and expanding rapidly. It also a.s.sembled the various human powers to seize the fortress in the primordial ruin. Now, Demonās Gate is even proposing to let it fully manage the fortress,ā Blackie said, smiling wryly. āThe reason Demonās Gate gave is that the Holy Race and the Crystallian race are going to besiege the fortress tomorrow. At that time, they will undoubtedly do everything they can to seize control of the fortress, but Demonās Gate is confident it can lead the human race to victory, so it wants full management rights over the fortress in return.
ān.o.body wants to leave their fate in Demonās Gateās hands, so the various human powers have mobilized most of their elite experts to fight in the upcoming battle.ā
So thatās why there are so few experts and guild executives in the Guild Residence. Realization dawned on s.h.i.+ Feng at Blackieās explanation.
In G.o.dās Domain, fortresses found in certain special locations usually had authority keys that determined who got to control them. If Demonās Gate was allowed to gain 51% of the authority tokens for the primordial ruinās fortress, it might as well have full management rights over the fortress.
By now, it was obvious the primordial ruinās fortress concerned the various powersā future development. In such a situation, the various powers had to go all-out in reinforcing it, whether to defend the fortress from the Holy Race and the Crystallian race or prevent Demonās Gate from gaining full control. Naturally, Zero Wing was no exception.
āGuild Leader, since youāre back, you should hurry to the fortress,ā Blackie said excitedly. āRain and Snow are needed to protect Shadowring Town and the Crystal City of Secrets, whereas Firmament is required to protect the primordial civilization city. Soul, Samsara, and Frost are the only sixth-floor experts we currently have at the fortress, and theyāre honestly not enough to protect our interests. If you join them, we should have a better chance at preventing Demonās Gate from taking over the fortress.ā
āOkay, Iāll head there now.ā s.h.i.+ Feng nodded without hesitation.
Zero Wing and Demonās Gate were currently mortal enemies. Although all human powers needed to stand united against the Holy Race and the Crystallian race, Zero Wing would definitely have a hard time if Demonās Gate gained full control over the primordial ruinās fortress.
After disconnecting the call, s.h.i.+ Feng used a Guild Transfer Scroll to teleport to Shadowring Town.
Holy Ring City, primordial ruin, Twilight Fortress:
The Twilight Fortress was a super-large fortress that could accommodate up to three million players. The fortress was brightly lit, and its relatively narrow streets were crowded with players.
A 100-meter-tall Battle Arena the size of multiple stadiums stood in the central area of the fortress. The Battle Arena was lively throughout the day and even more so at night. Many of the various human powersā experts and chosen ones would gather there to train or spectate matches.
On the Battle Arenaās top floorā¦
āEven Samsara canāt last three moves against him?ā Hidden Soulās expression turned grim when she saw the young man wrapped in bandages inside the ring defeat Fervent Samsara in three moves. āWhere did Demonās Gate find these people? The girl before could match me, while this personās strength is even more monstrous. Only Rain stands a chance against him.ā
āElise kept telling me Zero Wing is strong and has many experts, but I find it hard to believe,ā the bandaged young man scoffed, glancing at Fervent Samsara, who had just been resurrected outside the ring. āI heard your Guild Leader is quite strong. How about you call him to fight me? Iāll fight him with just one hand. Iāll even consider it his victory if he can damage me. How about it?ā
āDammit! Iām going up next! I refuse to believe I canāt land a hit on him!ā Hidden Soul seethed.
āDonāt be impulsive,ā Red Frost said, holding Hidden Soul back. āThat young man is provoking you. Demonās Gate is trying to reduce our levels before the battle over the fortress. Donāt get tricked.ā
The top-floor ring was unlike the other rings in the Battle Arena. Players killed in the ring might not lose any weapons or equipment, but they would lose a level as a penalty.
āAre we supposed to just let him talk down to us, then?ā Hidden Soul gnashed her teeth.
Recently, as Demonās Gateās reputation and influence grew, and it annexed many pseudo-apex powers, it suddenly challenged Zero Wing to a fight in the Battle Arena. Additionally, Demonās Gate stated it would need only three members to defeat everyone from Zero Wing, regardless of how many members Zero Wing sent to take the challenge.
Once this challenge became public, Zero Wing had no choice but to accept it to protect its reputation. However, the experts Demonās Gate sent were unbelievably strong. Zero Wing and Demonās Gate had fought two matches thus far, and Zero Wing had lost both. Moreover, Demonās Gate had yet to send out Elise, its strongest chosen one.
āI managed to identify the equipment he is using,ā Red Frost said helplessly. āAlthough the tool he used to conceal his information can prevent even my Peak Observation Skill from uncovering all his information, the equipment he is using should be the Blood Drinker Set, the Second Great Divine Set that went missing long ago.ā
āThe Blood Drinker Set?ā Hidden Soulās eyes widened in shock at Red Frostās words, and she couldnāt help but stare at the bandaged young man in disbelief.
