MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 967 - Chapter 967 967

Chapter 967: 967 Chapter 967: 967 All that remained was a sky-shaking roar and brilliant columns of light that, beneath the exploding fiery columns, made the internal players feel extremely fragile as if made of paper.

The orderly columns of light rapidly burst from the perimeter towards the inside, and in just a few seconds, the original stronghold had turned into a sea of fire, utterly chaotic and disordered.

Everyone watched the scene, brilliant like fireworks, in stunned silence. It was overwhelmingly shocking, especially for the spectators who were at a loss for words to express their emotions for a long while.

After the explosion, only those who used a level three “fridge” or something even more powerful could save their lives; all others were blown away and utterly obliterated at the time of the blast.

And in just a few seconds, Starfire’s military achievements had skyrocketed to a despairing level, directly surging past one hundred fifty thousand.

The second place had less than one-third of Starfire’s achievements.

The originally spirited United Army had virtually vanished, except for those outside the fortress gates who remained unharmed but looked quite troubled. Although they knew there would be no second wave of explosions, they dared not enter the stronghold that had turned into ruins.

“Too vicious, too tragic,” a commentator sighed.

Another commentator from America added, “I felt that Starfire’s purchases were very different from their initial achievement points. Originally, I thought they exchanged other achievements for items in the boxes. Now it appears that their remaining achievements were spent on this super explosive. They had installed the explosives underground when building the stronghold. From the beginning, this was a trap. Starfire used the lives of half their members to secure an unbeatable lead in achievements,”

“6666666666666666666666.”

The public screen was filled with sixes, and the viewers did not know how to describe their feelings at the moment; the turn of events had changed too quickly, with such an outcome being unexpected.

Li Yao, transformed into the Military Governor, had lured a large number of players to the stronghold and then wiped them out all at once, causing a profoundly shocking effect.

“The fireworks show is over; let’s go,” Li Yao said, tossing the detonator into the river.

All of Starfire’s ships slowly started moving and quickly left along the river.

“Prairie Fire, you’ve won this round. We’ll meet again.”

The Lizardman Shaman saw Starfire’s ships flowing downstream and did not order an attack. It was nearly impossible for them to eliminate Starfire now. Even if they inflicted some losses, what difference would it make?

As long as any of Starfire’s ships escaped, given their points, Starfire was sure to advance.

Those more anxious were from the three major alliances, not from these Sub-dimension guilds.

Having failed to eliminate Starfire under those circumstances, they had lost the best opportunity. Moreover, Starfire still had many boxes, a known reserve of their strength.

Each time Starfire drew their sword, it was earth-shattering. These Sub-dimension people no longer wished to provoke them. At this moment, their thought was simple: to gain more points, to secure advancement, granting them the eligibility for a final battle with Starfire.

“Maybe, but are you still thinking about advancing?” Li Yao said with a light laugh, not continuing further.

A few Alien Guilds watched helplessly as Starfire departed, then the former allies became wary of each other.

Now that eliminating Starfire was impossible, their alliance naturally dissolved.

However, they were relatively restrained, wisely choosing not to attack. Their reason was simple: now was not the time for mutual slaughter, as their powers were all fairly comparable.

Only the guilds within the three main factions were the weaker ones, hunting them would preserve their own strength while gaining more military achievements.

“We had left quite a few grenades for them, but it seems they won’t be used now,” Unparalleled Beauty said after they had entered the safe zone completely.

“Then we’ll keep them, they will definitely come in handy,” Li Yao said.

“So what should we do now, continue with the next step of the plan?” Sister Li asked.

“Everyone is very tired, let’s rest well. Our plan will be implemented on the third day. For now, we should sit back and watch the tiger fight; otherwise, it will be difficult to execute the plan with just us,” he replied.

All of Starfire’s flying pets continuously patrolled the area, and it was only when they approached the boundary of this competition area that Starfire finally went ashore.

Not far away was the Thorn Forest, which was the territory of the wild boar people. Starfire, carrying a box, entered the Thorn Forest but did not provoke the wild boar people deep inside.

Instead, they found a small hill, and then Li Yao took out several crystals emitting purple light, and everyone started to get busy.

This set of crystals was part of an Array, not very significant in function, merely for concealment.

In essence, it concealed all people and events within the Array. A member of Starfire had received this Array after completing a difficult mission.

He could not complete it alone and sought help from within the guild. Sister Li, seeing the value of the rewards, had the core team help and they struggled half a day to complete this challenging mission.

The member then placed this Array into the guild’s warehouse, exchanged it for points and equipment, and Sister Li didn’t interfere. Li Yao found this Array while working on the Thousand Mechanisms Bow and took it directly.

This item, even in the previous life, was incredibly rare and considered a Divine Artifact by many travelers.

Having a set of this Array allowed for setting up camp in any dangerous place, though such items were produced in limited quantities, owned by only a few players.

Li Yao’s mind continuously simulated the situation of the camp, and after more than ten minutes, he finally set up the crystals.

With the deployment of the crystals, a pale purple Magic Shield appeared and then quickly vanished.

People inside the Array were not affected at all, but Starfire had disappeared as if there were no camp on that hill at all. Not only that, even the live broadcast couldn’t show what was inside.

“Starfire really has a good plan; this is virtually foolproof,” someone remarked.

“Indeed, otherwise, the players from the three main factions would probably be crazily besieging Starfire. As long as Starfire isn’t extinguished, they won’t have a chance to rise,” another added.

“It seems Starfire had calculated this early, stockpiling so many points. If they keep hiding, once the time comes, it will undoubtedly be Starfire emerging from the three factions,” another speculated.

Upon hearing the commentators’ words, Feng Yi smiled, unable to deny their remarks. She knew Li Yao’s character well; things would definitely not be that simple.

However, just like the commentators said, the players from the three main factions quickly learned about the United Army’s failure against Starfire. Obsessed with Starfire’s unbelievable points, they frenetically started searching for Starfire’s traces.

Their intention was simple: find and exterminate Starfire. In their view, without the protection of a stronghold, eradicating Starfire was not impossible.

Meanwhile, the guilds comprised of alien players were very in sync, focusing primarily on hunting the guilds of the three main factions. Soon, the competition entered its most intense stage…
