The additional summoning skill on the Emperor’s Sword could only be used for PVP and city raids. It was a fine weapon for PK battles, but when fighting monsters, the Ancient Kings and Imperial Guards it summoned would just stand there blankly without attacking.
The Mercenary Summons was the exact opposite of the Emperor’s Summon. It only worked during PVE and was ridiculously useful against monsters, but it was practically useless in raids and PK battles.
Judging from the Mysterious Leader’s tone, she was clearly deeply related to the demons. She stood on their side and said there were good and bad demons among them. What did that imply?
That she was either a demon herself, or that she was fond of demons. Those were the only two possibilities.
Li Yi spouted a bunch of nonsense in the same tone and her Affinity kept skyrocketing. This was definitely a problem; after all, she was the leader of the Defiants’ Confederation, whose sole purpose was to defy the demons.
In the past life, many players analyzed the information behind the Foreignland’s Defiants’ Confederation and came to the conclusion that this it would never have survived here if this was real life. It was only possible in a game.
However, what if the Mysterious Leader was a demon herself? Would the Defiants’ Confederation survive in the Foreignland then?
Someone suggested this in the past life too, but no one had seen the Mysterious Leader’s real face, so it remained a hypothesis to the very end.
It seemed that this could be a very real possibility now...
...
Demon Morph could not be used in the Demon God Castle map. As Li Yi pressed on, he could still see many demons proceeding on their way. If he was not mistaken, they were aiming for the Invincible Continent.
The Invincible Continent’s Celestial Capital had been destroyed, but the army of billions of demons had no intention of retreating. They continued to wander around the Invincible Continent, destroying other major cities with an almost irrepressible momentum.
It was too extraordinary. If something unexpected happened like this, there had to be a secret behind it. That was why Li Yi was heading toward the Demon God Castle at full speed. How could he rest easy without knowing the cause?
After a long thirteen hours of traveling, Li Yi reached the Demon God Castle and stepped on the trigger, entering the Demon God Hall without breaking a sweat.
When he stepped into the Demon God Hall, he only stayed there for one second before he turned around and left.
He had already seen the seven Genghises, and just that one second had left him with only slightly over 5,000 of his 1,600,000 HP. If he had just been a little slower, he would have died in there.
“Mothehrf*cker, why were there seven Genghises?”
Li Yi cursed.
After some thought, Li Yi posted the video he had just recorded to the World Channel.
Why was the Invincible Continent attacked by monsters? How did the nearly invincible Iron Alliance Army fall apart at the seams? Li Yi wanted everyone to know the answers to these questions.
The one-second video went live on the World Channel, and any player who saw it just had to click it to play it.
When more players saw the one-second video, their curses at each other immediately shifted targets...
“F*ck, that’s seven Genghises! The Pantheon official site said that defeating it would reduce the demons’ power by one fold, but for every one left alive, the demons would be boosted by one fold!”
“F*ck, what the heck? That’s cheating!”
“We just killed the First Demon God, and you immediately spawn seven?! Are we a joke to you, f*cking GMs?!”
“Come out, Pantheon developers, we demand an explanation!”
“The f*ck is this?! This is going too far!”
“We’re not playing a game, you f*ckers are playing us!”
The World Channel was in an uproar, and now no one was criticizing the Iron Alliance’s abilities, nor was anyone saying the officials were not doing enough. Instead, everyone turned their animosity toward the Pantheon developers and began swearing out the GMs...
Soon enough, a petition appeared on the Pantheon official forums.
The monsters’ raid of the city had dealt devastating losses to the Invincible Continent, destroying almost every major city and leaving not a single buildings standing in the Celestial Capital. The entire Treasury, worth hundreds of millions in Gold Coins, was reduced to nothing.
Altogether, their losses amounted to at least a hundred billion Gold Coins.
They had just killed the First Demon God, but another seven had appeared immediately. This was against the usual spawning conventions for bosses, and the demons viciously attacking the city were acting extremely out of character too. They refused to leave even after destroying the cities, which made no sense.
The petition hit a hundred million views in a couple of minutes, with more than ten million votes. It seemed as though the players were not going to back down unless the Pantheon developers gave them an explanation.
The saying was “go big or go home”, but this monster raid was clearly... a home run!
In the end, the Pantheon developers addressed this matter within half an hour.
“The Genghis respawns are not a bug. It is within the game’s rules for seven to spawn at once. However, the monster raid was slightly unbalanced, so we ask for your kind patience. The Pantheon developers will definitely provide a satisfactory response.”
The official forums exploded again.
This had to do with the players’ own assets, so what did it matter where the developers stood on this matter? What the players wanted was material benefits, like compensation or rewards!
Those players had nothing better to do than stir trouble, so now that they had an entire cauldron to stir, they were going ham on it.
It had in fact been better before the Pantheon developers made their statement. As soon as they did, the players’ complaints grew even more intense.
However, it did not matter how badly the players complained. After that, the Pantheon developers did not say another word about the matter.
Half an hour later, several pillars of divine light descended upon the Invincible Continent, and the tide of manic demons began to retreat under their glow. On the other hand, the damaged major cities began to reconstruct themselves rapidly.
The Invincible Continent’s Celestial Capital was repaired, as were the other major cities, both large and small. Five minutes later, the Invincible Continent was as good as new, no longer a Fallen Nation.
Everything in the Treasury was restored, and there were even extra bonuses.
The same happened in the other major cities. After all that, the only losses left unaddressed were the equipment players had dropped during the battle and the Gold Coins they had to spend on equipment repairs.
[The Ruler of God has made a divine decree, granting the Invincible Continent seven days of God’s Gift.]
Just as the players were getting disgruntled, there was another spam of red letters on the World Channel.
They had received God’s Gift!
For seven days, they would earn twice the amount of EXP and their item drop rates when killing monsters would be doubled too...
This was quite the presentable compensation.
The demons all returned home, but they did not grow any weaker.
The seven Genghises were still alive, so the demons would not become any weaker.
...
In the Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital’s underground temple.
“The God-queen Carulla used her Divine Power against mortals without permission. This is a violation of Divine Laws, and so her punishment shall be the suspension of her Divine Power for a year!”
An authoritative voice boomed, and a bolt of divine light appeared from behind the God-queen Carulla. With that, her arms were wrapped around her body and she was forced to her knees in agony.
The God-queen Carulla had been the one who resurrected Genghis and then spawned seven of them with her Divine Spell. While these actions of hers fell within reason of the game’s rules, her sending the demons to attack the Invincible Continent was a serious violation of the Divine Laws.
The gods on Mount Pantheon all had powerful AI systems. They were AI beings that could think independently, not merely a collection of 1s and 0s. When they could think, imagine, and feel, were they really only a bunch of algorithms?
The biggest difference between them and the players was probably that they could not do anything beyond the game’s rules just because they felt like it.
That was the situation God-queen Carulla had found herself in.
Li Yi had laid waste to her plans time and again, so naturally, she was beside herself with rage. However, she was a god in the game, so regardless of how angry she was, she still could not attack Li Yi directly. That was a violation of the Divine Laws, and if she tried it, she would immediately be killed by the Major Gods, therefore disappearing from the Pantheon World completely.
That was why she chose a secretive way to take revenge on Li Yi, but unfortunately, her opponent was that OP Li Yi.
Li Yi did not know Carulla was behind everything, but he did know that there had to be a secret behind this monster raid. That was why he investigated the matter until he eventually posted the one-second video.
Carulla stood up, deathly pale, and murmured to herself respectfully, “Foolish mortal, why are you so ignorant? I gave you the Ascension Quest ages ago, but you’re so stupid that you still haven’t completed it, after so long! It’s all because of you that I had to personally get involved, and now I’m suffering as a result...”
...
The demons returned to the Foreignland, but they were still seven times stronger than before, so when players tried to challenge them, all that awaited the players was pain.
While there were still players making a fuss on the forums, the Pantheon developers had already provided compensation, so no matter how the players kicked up a fuss, the developers stayed resolutely quiet.
The seven days of God’s Gift should be enough to make up for their losses.
“The f*ck, seven Genghises? Who can beat them?”
“As long as Genghis stays alive, we won’t be able to farm monsters in the Foreignland. Brothers, let’s gather some people and challenge it.”
“I heard that Genghis drops Divine Equipment. Come, comrades, let’s take it on together and steamroll it with sheer numbers.”
Although Li Yi had the Mercenary Summons with him, he did not go in and challenge Genghis directly. Instead, he used the other way to farm monsters and levels in another small room.
It was not that he did not want to kill Genghis. He just considered his abilities and figured that he should level himself up to the max before he stood a chance against seven Genghises.
Genghis’ ATK was ridiculous, and the mercenaries Li Yi summoned would always share his level. In other words, if he summoned them when he was at max level, the mercenaries he summoned would also be max-leveled.
After all, the player was still the strongest in the end.
Within a mere dozen hours, someone figured out the correct way to maneuver the mechanisms on the way to the Demon God Halls. They then posted it to the official site for everyone’s reference.
When Li Yi saw the correct method on the official site, he revealed his hand too, immediately posting a thread called “Walkthrough of the Other Bosses’ Rooms in the Demon God Halls”.
The Second Demon God, the Demon Dragon, the three-headed demon leader, the Bloodthirsty Bat King... Li Yi’s guide covered every single boss room in the Demon God Castle.
However, when the players entered the boss rooms according to Li Yi’s guide, they found that every boss aside from the Demon Dragon and the Second Demon God had vanished...
