Chapter 1585: In Deep Trouble
After picking all the items up, w.a.n.g Yu stood up in frustration.
“Honglong!!”
Just as w.a.n.g Yu was about to walk down, G.o.d’s Tower suddenly began shaking.
“An earthquake???”
Feeling the ground below him quaver, w.a.n.g Yu was shocked. He hurriedly stuck to the walls. With the violent trembling, the roof’s tiles began falling together with dust.
“F*ck, what’s going on now?!”
When w.a.n.g Yu was having a ma.s.sive battle with old man Luke, G.o.d’s Tower was circled with various sects, forming three entire circles.
When everyone saw how the long-established G.o.d’s Tower begin to quiver, they were stunned.
F*ck, what happened in there? Who’s causing the entire G.o.d’s Tower to shake like that…
…
In reality, using the background story, G.o.d’s Tower was supported by G.o.d of Light’s divinity. Now that G.o.d of Light had fallen, it signified that the G.o.d of Light’s Divine Light was taken. Naturally, the tower lost the Divine Light’s protection.
Without the Divine Light’s protection, this tower was nothing more than a façade made of tofu.
Bam, bam, bam!!
G.o.d’s Tower began trembling even more violently. It was swaying dangerously at this point.
Within a few moments of breath, G.o.d’s Tower crumbled to the ground.
Thankfully, this happened in-game. Even though G.o.d’s Tower was so tall that it pierced through the clouds, crumbling was nothing more than a CG effect. It didn’t cause any human deaths. Instead, it kicked up a huge dust cloud.
The dust cloud faded as the G.o.d’s Tower that was as tall as the clouds turned into a brick’s wasteland.
“Dang!”
A strange sound resounded as a st.u.r.dy elbow stuck out from the ruins. Soon after, a powerful body stood atop the ruins.
At the same time, a system notification appeared in the sky.
The system notification appeared three times. Starry Sky City’s players lost all colour in their face when they saw the announcement.
The Divine Light was the core of Starry Sky City. It symbolised the G.o.d of Light too as the essential item in Starry Sky City.
If someone stole this item, it would just mean losing the dignity of their protective G.o.d to the NPCs. For the City Lord, it signified a demotion and punishment.
Typically speaking, if a City Lord were demoted, the players wouldn’t be in a good state either. They’d drop levels, fame, and status. Those weren’t that important. However, if they lost skills and equipment because of that, that’d be the worst-case scenario.
That was why this Divine Light was much more precious than the City Lord’s Seal.
At first, everyone only wanted to keep w.a.n.g Yu around to watch his skills. Even if they couldn’t capture him, they wouldn’t make any losses.
However, now that w.a.n.g Yu stole the Divine Light from G.o.d’s Tower, this was a vast matter.
Capturing w.a.n.g Yu would ensure Starry Sky City’s safety. On top of that, the players could find the Divine Light and obtain rewards from the system.
If they couldn’t capture w.a.n.g Yu, everyone would suffer a loss. Benefits didn’t direct their course of action. Instead, they couldn’t avoid this…
Without the great sects having to speak a word, the moment they saw w.a.n.g Yu walk out with the Quest Target sign above him, everyone charged at him simultaneously.
Golden Sun Blossom yelled, “Don’t let him out of your sights; he can fly!”
With that, Golden Sun Blossom backed off a single step, hiding behind Blossoming Moon.
It was evident that this brat had trauma from being captured by w.a.n.g Yu before. Since his weapon was seized, he was afraid of even getting close to him.
“Fly?”
When they heard Golden Sun Blossom’s words, the leaders’ hearts tightened. They sent out orders, “Long-ranged job, unleash your attacks. Archers, prepare yourselves. Don’t let him fly away.”
A sect without a commander was just a gathering. With a commander, they were like organised armies.
Once they received orders, the Magical cla.s.ses began casting their skills while Archers aimed their bows into the sky.
“Haha!”
When he heard Golden Sun Blossom’s scream, w.a.n.g Yu subconsciously glanced in the direction of Golden Sun Blossom. Even though he couldn’t understand foreign languages, seeing his reaction, w.a.n.g Yu got the rough idea of what he was thinking. As such, he let out a bitter laugh.
When Starry Sky City’s players received the system notification, w.a.n.g Yu received one too.
See that? The system was always rigged. It was hard enough to deliver G.o.d’s Glory with over a hundred thousand players chasing after him. On top of that, he wasn’t allowed to fly. Wasn’t this practically forcing w.a.n.g Yu and Starry Sky City’s players to play with their lives on the line? They had to fight to the death.
After all, a chance was a vague idea in the game.
If it were a 100% drop rate, it would be fine. With a single death, the entire matter would be over.
As the saying went, a person’s life lay in his own hands.
With w.a.n.g Yu’s luck, he was scammed by the NPC and the system day-in, day-out. If he were lucky, he would drop the item after a few deaths. If he was unlucky, he might fall to LV0 again.
…
Of course, even if [Flying] was permitted, w.a.n.g Yu didn’t plan on doing it.
d.a.m.n it, G.o.d’s Tower had nearly 10,000 people surrounding it tightly. On top of that, after they received the system notification, Starry City’s players were rus.h.i.+ng over at once.
What was the scale of 10,000 people?
Looking down from above, there were people everywhere. Nearly 10,000 people were surrounding one person. The visual effect could only be described with the word ‘grand’.
w.a.n.g Yu stood in the centre as he looked afar. He couldn’t even see the end of the sea of people.
Being surrounded like this meant that even if Superman flew into the skies, he would die from being pierced nearly instantaneously.
In the face of such odds, anyone who chose to fly to the sky was an idiot.
“Attack!”
While he was contemplating what to do next, the circle seemed to close in at once. The players surrounding w.a.n.g Yu approached while the magic in the backline seemed to complete their preparations.
With a loud shout, multi-coloured magical spells launched and showered w.a.n.g Yu.
Sometimes, lacking the numbers for chance wasn’t a bad thing.
If they attacked w.a.n.g Yu at once, w.a.n.g Yu could avoid all the attacks with [Flash]. However, everyone launched their attacks in waves. Attacks were raining mercilessly from the sky.
The encirclement shrunk further as w.a.n.g Yu had even less s.p.a.ce to dodge. They effectively eliminated the remaining s.p.a.ce w.a.n.g Yu could avoid.
In the face of the torrent of attacks and the shrinking encirclement, w.a.n.g Yu didn’t panic at all. He didn’t fly to the sky or dodge to the side. Instead, he smiled and used [Flash] to head for the most familiar man in the front row, Blossoming Moon.
