Chapter 649: Chapter 649: The Power of the Great Archangel
No one knew how many people were reluctant to buy into Li Yao’s strategy, but they still couldn’t resist checking out the items that the military supply officer provided. When they saw what was available, everyone went crazy.
“Holy shit, a Purple Set that can be upgraded, its stats aside, it starts at level 25 and can be upgraded to level 30. These stats are unbeatable even when running level 30 main storyline instances in the future.”
“With this event, there doesn’t seem to be any main storyline instances for level 30, only trial ones.”
“The Angel Set and Demon Set, the stats are excellent on both, which one do I go for?”
“Who cares about that? Have you seen the Lieutenant Set or General Set listed right at the top? They’re even more outrageous.”
“This is insane, what are these Demon Crystals and Angel Crystals, and where do you get them?”
“Are you stupid? They must be rewards from the trial event.”
“Talking about gear? Have any of you noticed various powerful skills, materials, and even mounts and Angel’s Wings? Oh my god.”
“Sigh, don’t even think about it. Didn’t you see? The Angelic Warhorse and Hell’s Skeletal Warhorse require three times the Crystals for the General Set. We common players can forget about it.”
“Yes, and those Angel Wings and Demon Wings, their stats suck, compared to Prairie Fire’s wings, they’re nowhere close, practically useless. But their price is so high, ten times the price of a General Set.”
“Are you stupid upstairs? These are special items, they don’t take up regular item slots. The wings alone are good for gliding for forty seconds, even if they couldn’t do anything else, their cool factor is enough.”
“That’s right, and these wings are not complete, they are fragments. But being cool is enough, especially these Demon Wings, they’re simply domineering.”
“Heh, do you guys know that Prairie Fire’s wings are Archangel wings, while these are wings of regular Angels and Demons, how could the two be the same. Low rank Angels, Mid rank Angels, High rank Angels, Archangels and Archangel lords, the gap between them is as huge as heaven and earth.”
“Prairie Fire really hit the jackpot, why does he get to be the leader?”
“Exactly, what’s Prairie Fire got to do with it, who would listen to him?”
“Have any of you read the rules? The rules for attacking the Trial Ground are based on their strategy, if you’re not happy, don’t participate.”
“It’s just too unfair, formulating the strategy, why should he be allowed to participate in the event too, it’s not fair.”
“You losers from Prosperous Era, stop embarrassing yourselves. He’s the general leading the charge, if you’re not satisfied, don’t participate. If you’ve got the guts, why don’t you trigger a main story quest.”
“Being envious of others won’t get you anywhere, better to think about how to clear the trial. I heard the monsters in there drop these gears and mounts too.”
“Hmm, finally it makes sense why the Darkness and Light Potions are so expensive, this world is filled with profiteers.”
“Dumbass, if you’re going to complain about profiteers, why did you buy from them?”
All the channels in Ancient God were in chaos. Every guild was also freaking out.
After learning about the event, they were forced to participate. Not just for the rewards from the military supply officer, not just for the event rewards, but also because they were privy to even more inside scoops.
The activation of the Trial Ground meant that level 30 main storyline instances had vanished. The glory of level 30 main storyline instances would now be decided in the trial ground.
And they all knew, even though Li Yao had set the rules, he wouldn’t receive any special treatment in the trial.
However, this all happened too suddenly, catching every guild off guard.
But the guilds weren’t pushovers. It didn’t take long for them to figure out what the two kinds of potions did. Starfire’s wealth began rolling in, while those profiteers were also working overtime to find Alchemists, frantically producing these potions.
On one hand, there was a limit to the number of Alchemists available. On the other hand, many Alchemists hadn’t learned the recipes for those two kinds of potions.
Countless Alchemists were going mad over missing such a good opportunity to make money.
There were quite a few of these recipe drops, but because they weren’t essential for leveling the Alchemist skill, the two herbs for these potions were also not produced in large quantities. And only a very small percentage of players used these two potions, so very few Alchemists learned them.
Li Yao was all prepared. At 8 o’clock in the evening, he arrived punctually at a square in the Undead Capital.
In the middle was a sword, another symbol of strength of the Archangel Lord, the Sword of Justice.
The two Archangels guarding the Sword of Justice saluted Li Yao. Li Yao nodded his head, holding onto the Sword of Justice with both hands.
BOOM…
A golden light rose, Angel’s Wings spread behind Li Yao, and a dazzling armor enveloped him.
At this moment, the armor Li Yao was wearing was top-grade armor of an Archangel Lord, the Judgement of Righteousness, he held the Sword of Justice in his hand, and had Angel’s Wings on his back.
A powerful aura radiated out, at the same time, a projection of Li Yao appeared in the squares of every city.
Countless angels kneeled with one knee on the ground, saluting toward Li Yao. Li Yao closed his eyes, feeling an unparalleled surge of power.
He felt as if he could control the heavens and earth in his hands. Even when he attained the Quasi-god level, he didn’t feel as powerful.
It seemed as if he could hear everyone talk without feeling confused. His real body was in the Undead Capital, but he also seemed to be present in every city.
“So this is half of the power of an Archangel Lord, so frightening. I owe them yet again.” Not everyone can have an early taste of what it’s like to be a God, but Li Yao did, and he wasn’t just any ordinary God.
As Li Yao opened his eyes, two golden lights shot out like they were splitting heaven and earth, and nobody dared to look directly at it.
“System: You have temporarily gained the power of an Archangel Lord, you can now set attack strategies and define the reward and punishment mechanisms.”
“Now I declare, the Heavenly Trial Ground is officially open.”
Li Yao swung the Sword of Justice, and countless players exclaimed in shock.
Wherever Li Yao pointed his sword, the players felt as if the sky was splitting, and all they could see was the terrifying sword light, everyone scattered in panic.
When they recovered, they saw a gigantic portal appear. Through the teleportation vortex, they were even able to see the magnificent heaven, and the top of the sky.
“Now I will announce the rules. The first step in attacking is to cross the Sky Mark. Everyone can form their own ten-person teams to enter the portal.”
“The Sky Mark has no path to follow, what you need to do is to find the portal to the Trial Ground. Remember, each portal only allows ten people to pass through. If you encounter other small teams, you can fight against each other, the strong can enter, while the weak have no qualifications to do so.”
“To reward you all, the reward is now announced.”
The first team to find and enter the Trial Ground portal will be rewarded with two Golden Dress, 10,000 Angel and Demon Crystals per person, and one Purple Set gear from the military supply officer per person.
The second to fifth teams will receive one Golden Dress, 5,000 Angel and Demon Crystals, and any piece of gear from the General Set below the Purple Set per person.
The fifth to tenth teams will get 5,000 Angel and Demon Crystals, and one piece of gear below the General Set Purple Set for each person.
The eleventh to one thousandth teams will get 5,000 Angel and Demon Crystals and one piece of gear below the Lieutenant Set Purple Set per person.
The one thousand first to ten thousandth teams will get 3,000 Angel and Demon Crystals and any Regular Demon or Angel Set Parts per person.
Hearing Li Yao’s announced rewards, everyone’s eyes turned red…
