Origin Paradise!

All the allied players looked extremely tense, staring intently at the bright red spears scattered across the ground.

What were originally insignificant thorns seemed to contain immense deterrent power. For the elite players present, these things were certainly lacking in lethality, but each spear symbolized the possibility of an overlord's arrival. Once they became the unlucky one, their fate was basically only death.

The Red Dragon Queen's shriek echoed in the air.

Before descending into this world, her life level was at the peak of Silver, the limit. As a Silver, she obtained a high-level Gold main weapon configuration, and the effort she put in is unimaginable.

Mo Ke suddenly appeared, and the damage of the silver spear was beyond imagination. Its terrifying quality, combined with the soul and true extra damage, plus the Undying Sharpness and a bunch of ultimate killing effects, instantly cleaved the powerful golden dragon body.

The Golden Body, which boasts a 30% overall boost and a 30% damage immunity against lower-level enemies, is as fragile as paper. In the face of a powerful overlord, this massive enhancement that strengthens oneself and weakens the enemy is utterly useless.

On the heavenly palace, all five were terrified.

If even the dragons, known for their powerful physiques, couldn't withstand it, it suggests that the outcome of their defenses is likely not much better.

Fortunately, the four large groups of tens of thousands of extraordinary creatures that formed the Four Directions Heavenly Flame have been launched. As a semi-single-target killing skill, this epic spell can track the target under the caster's control and has a 20% true damage bonus.

The guild leader on the grand chair in the Heavenly Palace quickly spoke up, saying, "Red Dragon, stay calm! The target has spatial teleportation abilities. Change the target to Inverted Pass and destroy his large group first!"

The Red Dragon Queen heard Tianque's command and tried to calm herself down. She looked fiercely at the steel fortress, her golden-red vertical pupils flashing with malice and madness. Even though she had lost her staff, her status as a spellcaster had not changed.

"With such a huge appetite, then let them stuff themselves to death!"

The golden fireball, the focus of everyone's attention, flew towards the fortress.

Someone who had left the enemy lines returned to their original position.

To the surprise of the allied players, this overlord did not choose to dodge, but instead deployed the Black Sun Domain on the spot.

The black sun suddenly rose, radiating its pitch-black "light," and its terrifying devouring force acted directly on the golden fireball in front of it, forcibly sucking it into the black sun.

Despite the vast difference in size between the two sides, the golden fireball was an epic-level spell, and the destructive power it contained was something that the Golden Domain could not eliminate. Countless cracks spread across the surface of the black sun, and it could not even withstand it for a moment. The explosion was unstoppable.

"it is good!"

The president tensed up, clenching his fists involuntarily. The enemy was courting death, so victory or defeat depended on this one battle. He dared not even imagine what kind of generous reward the battlefield would offer for killing the overlord.

The Allied players were incredibly excited upon seeing this.

But in that brief moment...

As if he had just realized something, the player's expression changed drastically. For the first time, fear appeared on his otherwise ordinary face. Before the battle, the Ant Guild had uploaded some information about the enemy.

Whoosh!

Jiang He disappeared again after appearing, and the domain, as the core of the power, naturally followed closely behind.

The Red Dragon Queen stared in disbelief. The enemy, who had been so close, had returned. She saw his handsome, otherworldly face once more, but this time, the black sun about to explode was clearly even more dazzling.

The first emperor reigned over the entire kingdom.

As if in a distant and long state of consciousness, the Red Dragon Queen heard a viscous sound, like the writhing of internal organs, emanating from within the Black Sun. Golden light seeped from the dense, spiderweb-like cracks, and an unprecedented premonition of death rose in her heart.

Everything happened so fast that she had no time to react.

What's even more frightening is that this is by no means the end.

With godlike thinking speed, Jiang He enhanced the Four Directions Heavenly Flame with an epic-level extraordinary burst—301% enhancement. Then he immediately activated Sovereignty and left the battlefield. Ultimately, the Time Ring couldn't boost the damage of this rank, so there was no need to try.

Rumble!

Prismatic light spears burst forth from the cracks, tearing the ground into a bottomless abyss. The eyes of the ants watching the shattered sun rapidly liquefied. The Red Dragon Queen, at the center of the explosion, felt despair. Her complete golden domain collapsed instantly, her dragon body and the protective mirror vaporized, and her soul and golden core were annihilated.

The substitution granted by the complete domain was meaningless; the damage overflowed to an unpredictable degree. After the golden fireball destroyed the black sun, it expanded rapidly, and the energy sphere destroyed anything in its path. The fire mage and the players providing cover were reduced to ashes.

Five million skeletons stockpiled in the rear, a million-strong human army stationed in encampments, large groups of gray beasts, siege rhinos, and dragon species—a total of over thirty large groups, and millions of creatures were wiped out.

Rumble!

The torrent of energy raged for a full quarter of an hour, leaving only a crater ten thousand meters deep in its wake. Everywhere were the marks left by the light spears. The ground in the northeastern part of the Alliance trembled, and the light reached the heavens and the earth. For the first time in a hundred years, the thick dark clouds in the sky above the Great Plains dissipated. The Upside-Down Pass, dozens of miles away from the explosion point, collapsed in half due to the aftershocks.

Edge of the Great Plains.

The player looked towards the horizon with lingering fear. After entering the plains, he traveled more than two thousand miles, but after rounding up, he didn't go any further and finally returned to the starting point, escaping with his life.

The edge of the battlefield.

The night sky is a silvery expanse, I move the stars with my hand, and they fall from the heavens.

The five top combatants frantically activated the overall teleportation of the Heavenly Palace Command Platform, barely escaping death.

An explosion far exceeding expectations wiped out more than half of the allied forces, annihilated countless groups, and killed over three hundred players. The Red Dragon Guild, the Dark Elf Guild, and the Ant Guild that was directing operations from the rear, were thus completely wiped out.

The atmosphere above the celestial palace was deathly still.

"I'm not playing anymore." The Nightwalker got up and left, seemingly without any room for negotiation. He was a player of the Twilight Battlefield, and it didn't matter if he didn't achieve anything.

The other four people did not move.

The guild leader looked at Death Servant, Twins and Tyrant, and said heavily, "The Overlord is invincible. I accept this result. There are still millions of ants gathering in the rear. I will hold the front. From this moment on, the eight guilds will break up and infiltrate the Ninth Fortress to carry out a rear strategic offensive."

After a moment of silence, the twins spoke in a mixed male and female voice: "Do we really have to fight?"

The tyrant sneered: "That person has unparalleled combat power. How could he not want to occupy the entire territory of the alliance and take all the experience points? Being weak now is just letting himself be slaughtered."

"Our only chance of victory lies at the core of the world, but we should not underestimate ourselves. When the enemy advances, we retreat. The larger his territory, the higher our chances of victory will be. After all, there is only one overlord. The alliance leader is right. Now is the time to destroy his foundation for occupying various places."

The tyrant took a hard line, and the Dinosaur Club was destroyed by the enemy, with whom he had a blood feud.

After a long while, the group reluctantly reached a consensus.

……

Upside down on the city wall.

Cracks appeared on Jiang He's Overlord Armor. He single-handedly withstood the onslaught of energy. The Four Directions Heavenly Flame, combined with his extraordinary burst, had a power that exceeded his expectations.

"The total number of evil soldiers is several million. The Saint Lilith is stationed with 30% of its soldiers and 100 guards, as well as 100,000 Dawn soldiers. By now, more than 60,000 have died in battle, and there are still 640,000 left."

"The Giant King has lost three heads, leaving seven."

"The Upside-Down Gate needs repairs, but not now."

[Announcement from the Pillar of Eternity: The Core of the Ember World has appeared, currently located in the Dark Continent. Players from the four battlefields are invited to form exploration teams and teleport to the Dark Continent to search for it.]

[Hint: The team that obtains the World Core needs to escort it to a designated location to ignite the Coordinate Fire]

At the same time, Wuhe sent a message through his animal companions.

"Boss, I've become the deputy captain of the exploration team, haha."

"Be careful, I'll teleport you if anything happens."

"Boss, the partner teleportation skill might not be able to lift you; it's still at the rare level."

"It's alright, I have an extraordinary burst of power."

The message has ended.

Jiang He activated Junlin and arrived at the epicenter of the explosion.

Tens of millions of extraordinary creatures have died, and the concentration of extraordinary factors in this 10,000-meter-deep crater is terrifyingly high. If a wild beast were to be born here in the future, its potential might be extremely powerful. Unfortunately, Gluttony has already arrived.

A black sun hangs in the sky.

Its boundless devouring power extracts the supernatural factors from the environment, which are so concentrated they are visible to the naked eye. Although it is not as effective as devouring props and flesh, the amount is still considerable.

Jiang He activated the final time ring, refreshed his state, and unleashed an extraordinary burst of power once again.

When he was empowering the Four Directions Heavenly Flame, he almost exhausted his energy value, and also consumed most of the 70% of his life value converted from the Water Turbid Heavenly Yellow. The energy requirements for the extraordinary burst are different depending on the target of the amplification. The good news is that there is no cooldown.

Strands of light converged, and a super tornado seemed to rise in the air above the crater. Countless gales and streaks of light swirled around the black sun, greedily absorbing energy from the outside world to strengthen itself.

Fifteen minutes later, the siphoning ended.

The Black Sun Domain has a radius of 700 meters, and the domain walls are so sturdy that they have traveled a considerable distance beyond the level of non-meteorites.

In their sight, the ant-man black tide attacked once again. Guild leader Dogus showed an indomitable spirit. This time, the Undead Guild chose to fight alongside him. Leader Wangguo was a master of human wave tactics. However, due to the departure of other top combatants, the attacking team could only hide like the ant-man guild.

Jiang He glanced at the Origin Announcement, then began picking up Crimson Cards from the ground. These players were killed by him and the Red Dragon Queen, who was now dead, and there was no dispute over ownership.

As of now, Jiang He has a total of 829 kills and 350 Crimson Cards to be unlocked. Since all participants in the battle are elites, his merit points have increased to 7200.

Originating from the battlefield: 802 people.

Final Battlefield: 519 people.

Battlefield of All Beings: 525 people.

Dusk Battlefield: 947 people.

……

Half a day later, the Ninth Fortress.

Inside the towering walls, the doors and windows of every household were tightly shut, and 200,000 soldiers of the First Army Corps patrolled and guarded the area.

In the Dawn Factory in the technology zone, hundreds of soldiers destroyed all production lines, and a raging fire broke out, with crackling sounds filling the air.

The woman in the long robe stood in the shadows of the corner outside. She had exquisite features and a cold demeanor. Her eyebrows were very heroic, and when they slanted down to her temples, they were exceptionally fierce. Her eyes were as beautiful as gemstones, and their surfaces were engraved with red frost sword patterns symbolizing flowers and swords. A bright red sword pendant hung from her earring.

"I don't believe no one will come."

Si Ning narrowed her eyes, brought the expensive wine glass in her hand to her lips, and took a few sips of the chilled lemonade. The strong, pungent fruity acidity suppressed her inner destructive urge.

A moment or longer.

This blatant act of destruction drew attention. Since the earlier magical explosion, the players decisively abandoned their plan to attack the Upside-Down Pass. While mountains are a natural barrier for large armies, individual players with formidable strength are more like special operations.

The top of the science and technology building not far away.

The leader of the chariot guild's reconnaissance team picked up the binoculars, and a series of analyses appeared on the mirror.

"A factory for producing extraordinary creations."

"From its construction to its destruction, it took less than two months."

"The total daily resource consumption is 12,000 tons."

"The factory has at least 54,000 employees."

The reconnaissance team leader turned to report to the leader's chariot: "Leader, this is very likely a super factory with a large number of production facilities. The fact that the other side destroyed it beforehand means that there is hope of deducing the raw material formula from the finished products. My suggestion is to launch a trial attack."

With the defeat in the direct battle, the War Chariot Guild no longer needs to transport supplies and can infiltrate the Ninth Fortress with the other seven guilds. Their missions include, but are not limited to, sabotaging production lines, destroying administrative buildings, and killing enemy troops. In order to achieve victory, the Allied Forces have decided to use any means necessary.

After a moment's thought, the tank leader ordered, "Assault and reconnaissance teams, surround them. Defense and logistics teams, stay behind. One hundred brothers, I hope you will all be alive after the war. Your own safety is the priority. Surrender is permitted."

"Understood." The investigation team leader bowed sincerely.

The two groups, totaling fifty Silver Players, left the Technology Building. Several explosives experts from the assault team buried extraordinary explosives at post offices, security substations, hotels, and other locations along the way.

As the players advanced, a shadow disappeared from the corner.

Si Ning completely disregarded the legion soldiers carrying out the destruction mission. Her figure flickered in the alley, and dazzling sword intents rose and fell continuously. This supreme-level lightness skill—Sword Step—greatly improved her movement efficiency. Although someone's attitude was indifferent, they really had something. Sword Step was the reward for cooperation.

Whoosh whoosh!

His body transformed into a sword, and the sword light rapidly approached the building.

Si Ning's gaze turned cold as she activated her perfect-level ability—Existence Folding. Her presence instantly became extremely faint, and she vanished without a trace.

Inside the first floor, during wartime, the leader of the defense team personally stood guard, with a warning aura covering an area of ​​eighty meters. Any creature of bronze elite rank or higher would immediately attract attention if it approached.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared directly in front of the defense team leader's line of sight. The red frost spider lily, evolved from the mandala, spun around, and the ultimate illusion skill of the Flower Sword Eyes—Cognitive Snowflake Screen—was activated.

A mental freeze lasting 0.5 seconds is like a TV or computer screen turning into a static display, ceasing to function effectively. This requires both parties to look at each other, and the target's position cannot be higher than Perfect.

A dazzling, silky sword light flashed, and the blade decapitated.

The defense team leader's head fell to the ground, and the ultimate-level decay energy frantically eroded his flesh and blood.

In Si Ning's hand, the Unyielding Sword hummed softly. Her Human Sword: Entangling Silk was best at cutting. Combined with the two ultimate passive skills of the Sword Master, her killing power was outstanding. However, in contrast to her offensive and killing abilities, her own defensive capabilities were extremely lacking. When facing the powerful forces exchanging life-or-death moves, the result was basically severe injury or complete annihilation.

Chapter 376 Strategic Deterrence

Science and Technology Building.

During the intervals between the members' reports, Si Ning assassinated more than a dozen Silver-ranked players.

Ample financial resources mean an excellent setup, with the ability to conceal one's movements, recognize targets stunned by snowflakes, and use the overflowing damage of a swordsman to finish them off. The three ultimate skills work together, and the journey is smooth and uneventful.

But just as they reached the middle level, the leader's chariot sensed something was wrong. He opened the player panel and saw a blacked-out column in the friends list. His expression changed instantly, and he shouted:

"Enemy attack! Everyone assemble!"

At the same time, Si Ning walked out of the emergency exit on the middle floor. The smell of blood on her robe was pungent, but it made her look somewhat happy. In the lemon sachet with storage function at her waist, there were scarlet cards and ears piled together. One left ear was equal to one battle merit, which was a custom left over from the ancient battlefield.
