Chapter 1461: Chapter 1022: Aren’t You Bullying an Honest Person? (4K)

The new discoveries at the Heavenly Court Ruins made the Black Palace and Round Table even more cautious about sealing off the news.

Across the various megacities, the Black Palace and Round Table and their allied players secretly monitored the actions of other major forces.

However, there was no sign of a massive influx of Great Wall players.

To keep this secret, the Black Palace and Round Table had not made a conspicuous effort to gather their troops.

Otherwise, once other forces discovered the Heavenly Court Ruins, they would end up with many more competitors.

Maintaining the current situation was the best choice; it was vital to avoid clashing with those top-tier players.

Of course, this was entirely because among the players involved in this task were those whom they could not afford to provoke.

Fortunately, that particular player was over four thousand kilometers away in Border City.

But their plans fell through all too quickly.

Right after their conversation with Red Fist, they received news that in the basin, the Shuchuan Megacity had witnessed a powerful player zooming across the sky above the city.

Given his speed, he might well be heading for Kunlun Giant City at that very moment.

He was an even more troublesome player than Li Ba.

The fifth Devil King, Chen Guang!

After Yang Dong’s injury, Chen Guang had rushed over swiftly, and as a blitz player, his speed was extremely fast. When his dark wings fully unfurled, he could even catch up with the Annihilation fighter jets.

His strong mobility allowed him to reach half across the continent to support Yang Dong at Kunlun Giant City.

Of course, the likelihood of him looking to pick a fight was even greater this time.

This left the Black Palace and Round Table players with gloomy expressions. Facing the fifth Devil King, they feared their hidden secrets would soon be discovered. With him involved, the subsequent competition for opportunities would become extremely painful.

"Moreover, don’t forget, the general of this giant city is..." the Black Palace players sighed, "It’s a pity. If we could have killed that general quietly without anyone noticing. Otherwise, if the Devil King uses his merging earring... I fear another Demigod at the peak of his strength will emerge."

"That’s impossible. This isn’t a place where we can just do as we please. Killing the giant city’s general would have disastrous consequences once noticed," a Round Table player clicked his tongue, "Moreover, those Great Wall players are protecting him, obviously as a strategic precaution against us."

"We need to find an opportunity to kill that general discreetly before Chen Guang arrives."

With the merging earring, players could experience a leap in their combat strength. Like how Red Fist Arthur suddenly mastered the Mythical State, it was thanks to the merging earring.

But for players, finding their alternate selves in this world was already extremely difficult.

Therefore, preventing their rivals’ strong contenders from merging was one of their objectives.

The simplest way was to kill their counterparts in this world.

But there was no chance this time. The opponent’s status was too high, and with the Great Wall on guard, even if they succeeded, it could easily lead to a fallout with the Great Wall.

And ultimately, provoke the strongest among them to take action... which would spell disaster.

Of course, in reality, the Great Wall players had no intention of merging. However, they understood the Black Palace and Round Table all too well and had taken preemptive measures.

"Rather than worrying about that Devil King merging with the giant city’s general, we should be more concerned about another Devil King, Li Ba. If he finds his counterpart in this world and merges, then truly no one would be able to hold him back."

A player lamented: "The Demigod path of Li Ba is wasted? Ridiculous! A player who can kill Demigods, whether he is a Demigod or not, doesn’t matter. It might even have its benefits. You all know, many tasks prohibit the participation of Demigods. With Li Ba around, we’ll have to play by his rules for all subsequent major tasks. Ah... who knows how long we’ll be suppressed by this guy?"

The strongest under the Demigods in a world where Demigods cannot enter is an absolute ruler.

This was also a headache for national authorities. They would rather have Li Ba become a Demigod.

Once he became a Demigod, at least other strong players would have a chance to compete. As for a Demigod Li Ba... let the Demigods worry about that.

"If only... if only he could disappear," these players hoped, "If he and the Great Monarch of Annihilation or the Chaos Demigod perished together, we would certainly promote that hero. Go to hell, Li Ba. Damn it, I beg you! Become a hero, then die. We could even set a festival in your honor. Just die!"

They cursed, ranted, and raged impotently.

...

Meanwhile, within the command center of Kunlun Giant City’s high walls, a straight-backed middle-aged general reviewed documents.

With the arrival of the End of the God War fleet, the giant city had provided considerable assistance, even allocating a large number of guards and Transcendents to join the fleet.

This had become the work of this general, to review the list of those about to join the fleet.

Suddenly, the general looked up towards the door.

"Who’s there?"

A shadow had appeared at some unknown time, and the guards and Transcendents outside the door had not detected anything. And the Great Wall players had not stopped him?

This made the general very alert.

"You’re quite perceptive, good. It seems you’ve kept up with your magical skills training all these years," the shadow did not approach, instead, it took a seat on a sofa by the wall, "As expected of me."

The visitor sported a crew cut, and his black trench coat confirmed his identity.

After seeing the familiar face clearly, the middle-aged general fell silent for a moment and then slowly said, "I see, I had heard about it. Are you another me from a different world, as Young Dong His Excellency mentioned?"
