“I’m not interested. How about you dance for me instead?” John’s gaze roamed over Malina without restraint.
Malina’s twenty G-rated dance videos were still in Sini’s possession, and John had never had the courage to ask for them. He had never seen them, even though he was quite curious.
“Scoundrel! Shameless! Pervert!” Malina hissed in fury, though she didn’t refuse. “Godslayer is here!”
“Awesome, Godslayer is here to save us!”
…
The commotion was so loud that it drew the attention of the mining players. With some courage, they left the mines and saw John. Excitedly, they gathered around him.
Most of them were members of the Phoenix Group, Malina’s faction.
She had just been teased by John, and her anger was still burning. Now, these guys were completely ignoring her and fawning over John instead. Furious, she shouted, “Can’t you see me standing here?”
“Huh, Boss, you’re here too,” several of them greeted her, but their attention was firmly on John as they eagerly discussed among themselves.
“A bunch of ingrates!” She stomped her foot in rage, glaring at John with burning eyes.
She didn’t doubt for a second that if John made a single word of request, these people would gladly abandon her and rush to join Purple Sky City.
“Quiet.” John’s voice rang out, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
He glanced at Malina, pleased by her frustration, then continued, “I can offer temporary protection for you, but the situation on Shadow Star is complex, so you all need to level up as quickly as possible.”
“Godslayer, we won’t disappoint you!”
“Boss, once we level up, we’ll help you deal with Shadow Clan!”
The group was excited, all speaking at once.
John nodded, then added, “Head to my Purple Sky City to level up. Don’t worry, you’ll be safe there. But anyone who causes trouble will be expelled. Let them fend for themselves.”
“Don’t worry, Boss! If anyone dares to cause trouble or disrespect you, I’ll be the first to stand against it,” they promised angrily, all of them swearing their loyalty.
The loudest voices belonged to members of the Phoenix Group.
Malina was growing more irritated by the second. “You guys remember, you’re still Phoenix Group members,” she snapped.
“Uh… Boss, are you really going against Godslayer? If you keep this up, it’ll be hard for us,” one of them hesitated.
“Yeah, Boss, we’re family, right? Why not just listen to Godslayer?” another said.
“Exactly. If you get kicked out, we won’t be backing you up,” a third added.
…
The others were getting bolder.
Malina’s face darkened, her chest rising and falling with her heavy breaths. Clenching her teeth, she snapped, “Get out of here!”
Her outburst silenced everyone.
Her reputation still held weight.
Her cold, piercing gaze swept over the group, and she spoke in a frigid tone, “Anyone who dares to speak out again, I’ll expel you myself.”
“What a tigress… No, wait, a mother T. rex.”
“Feel sorry for Godslayer for two seconds.”
…
The crowd fell silent for a moment before starting to whisper among themselves again. John could see Malina was about to lose her temper again, so he quickly spoke up, “Alright, everyone, let’s head to Purple Sky City.”
With that, he tore open a spatial rift and led everyone back to Purple Sky City.
The city was protected by formations, so there was no need to worry about safety.
Moreover, Hunters surrounded Purple Sky City in endless waves, relentlessly attacking. Even if an army of a hundred thousand came, it would still be enough for everyone to level up.
After making sure everyone was settled, John tore open another rift and, together with Malina, headed to one new player village after another, rescuing the oppressed Earth players.
At this point, the players had fully understood the situation on Shadow Star.
They were invaders, but they were also the weak ones. It was rare for them to unite in solidarity to fight against the Shadow Clan.
John had visited over a dozen villages and mining fields, rescuing more than thirty thousand Earth players.
Originally, the number of Earth players assigned to Shadow Star was massive-several tens of millions.
But most players couldn’t bear the oppression and torment inflicted by the Shadow Clan soldiers and had quit the game altogether.
Perhaps, for them, it was a good thing.
There were too many Hunters in Shadow Star, and the Shadow Clan’s strongest warriors often had soul-attack abilities, which could completely erase a player from existence.
When the great battle eventually broke out, given the current rate of player progress, it was likely that they would end up as cannon fodder, if not worse.
…
Once everyone was settled, John began to focus on leveling up, aiming to break through to mid-tier gods as quickly as possible.
Only by reaching mid-tier gods could his Overseer rank progress further.
He decided to attack a Shadow Clan city, but not the main city.
Sini and Tracy volunteered to join, and they also invited Malina.
John knew exactly why the two women wanted to join, but he said nothing about it.
As for his feelings toward Malina, he couldn’t quite figure it out himself.
The group arrived at a Shadow Clan city, and without saying a word, they immediately launched their attack.
Whoosh!
The sword intent hummed, and a massive sword light sliced through the air, crashing down
with overwhelming force.
Boom!
There was a deafening roar as the ground trembled violently. The solid city walls were
completely destroyed.
[Announcement: Shadow Star City 311 has been attacked by Godslayer]
…
Three system announcements rang out, but John didn’t even glance at them.
With his current strength, destroying a normal city was a piece of cake.
“Human!” A peak upper-tier gods figure flew out from within the city-it was the city lord of
City 311.
Upon recognizing John, the city lord’s face filled with terror, and he hastily ordered, “Quick, activate the formations! Do whatever it takes to block this human’s attack!”
He immediately retreated back into the city and sent a distress signal to the nearby cities.
Whoosh!
The surrounding formations began to ripple with energy. It was the Four Symbols Guardian
Formation.
John wasn’t afraid in the slightest. His power had increased tremendously, and he could easily break this defensive formation now.
Not only that, but the Power of the Nine Nether that Sini controlled and the Star Dust power that Tracy wielded could unleash tremendous force, easily destroying this defensive
formation.
Crack!
With a sharp sound, the Four Symbols Guardian Formation was effortlessly shattered. The two women charged at the Shadow Clan army, wreaking havoc and slaughtering them
mercilessly.
“That’s terrifying…” Malina stood behind, wide-eyed in shock.
John’s power had already stunned her, but she hadn’t expected the two women to be so
incredibly strong as well.
Facing Shadow Clan forces with mid-tier gods and upper-tier gods, they were able to
slaughter them with ease.
Malina couldn’t help but feel sense of inferiority. The women around John were no less attractive than she was, and their power was overwhelming as well.
Maybe she wasn’t even worthy of John.
…
Countless sword lights filled the sky, covering the entire city like raindrops, relentlessly
raining down upon the Shadow Clan inside.
Constant notifications popped up on John’s screen.
John plundered numerous attributes, and his experience points slowly increased.
At this rate, in less than two months, he would reach level 50,000 and break through to mid-
tier gods. “Still too slow,” he muttered, dissatisfied. Most of the Shadow Clan soldiers in the normal
cities were mid-tier gods or upper-tier gods in rank.
The number of peak upper-tier gods was rare. Compared to the one hundred and eight main cities of Shadow Star, these guys were much weaker.
Perhaps building a city of his own could help him fend off the monster tide and level up more
quickly.
…
Soon, the entire Shadow Clan garrison in the city had been wiped out, and the buildings were
destroyed.
John found the city’s warehouse, where a large pile of items had been stored. Spirit Stones, basic Elemental Spirit Stones, equipment enhancement stones, skill stones, treasures of various races, and countless artifacts…
Among them, there were over ten million skill stones!
John was ecstatic. Right now, the most important thing he needed was skill points.
If every city could provide him with ten million skill stones, he would only need to destroy
forty more cities to gather enough skill points to upgrade all of his mind techniques to level
20,000.
“Malina sister, these will help you improve,” Sini said as she collected several Fire Element Spirit Stones and handed them to Malina.
“This…” Malina hesitated for a moment and looked at John.
Sini shoved them into Malina’s hands, frowning in annoyance. “What are you looking at him
for? Take them!”
“Thank you,” Malina said, touched by the gesture.
John could only roll his eyes. He knew exactly what Sini’s intentions were.
A thought crossed his mind, and he immediately looted the entire treasure vault, storing
everything in his World-in-Hand.
These items could greatly enhance a player’s power.
“Let’s go, to the next city,” he said, tearing open another spatial rift.
…
For the next few days, John and his group destroyed several more ordinary cities, looting vast
amounts of resources.
Their levels increased significantly.
Especially Malina, who had now broken through to demigod rank. Her comprehension of Fire
Elements had reached 100%, causing her power to skyrocket.
However, when facing the powerful members of the Shadow Clan, there was still a huge gap
in strength.
Ding!
At that moment, John received a private message. It was from Ritchie.
Ritchie: “Boss, there’s news from the Nature Clan. Where are you right now?”
Nature Clan?
John was puzzled, suspecting it might have something to do with Armstrong.
Godslayer: “I’ll be back soon.”
He replied to Ritchie, hastening his pace in the battle. He quickly wiped out the remaining
forces in the city in front of him, obtaining a City Building Order, looted the city’s warehouse,
and then led the women back to Purple Sky City.
Around them, Hunters were still endless.
And new players, under the protection of the formations, experienced rapid level-ups.
John found Ritchie waiting for him.
“Boss, the news is from Armstrong,” Ritchie said.
The Shadow Star was completely surrounded by the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star,
and it was now impossible to enter or leave freely.
After Ice Talker and the others left, they also couldn’t re-enter Shadow Star. Fortunately, Armstrong was on Nature Star, and he could log off and return to the real world
to relay messages.
Ritchie continued, “The Nature Clan, along with several Lord Gods, is preparing to make a
move against Shadow God. However, due to the restrictions of the formation, they can’t get inside.” “Lord Gods are going to take action?” John’s expression grew serious. He then asked, “What does the Nature Clan want me to do?”
Ritchie replied, “They want you to destroy the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “However, there’s a person from Nature Clan named Ice Talker. She said you shouldn’t destroy the formation and should wait for the Chaos
Green Lotus to emerge. She claims that the lotus is very important to you. They’ll help you keep Shadow God occupied in the meantime.”
John knew what this treasure was. From the memories he had gained from Burning Sky, he understood that this was one of The Immortals’ greatest treasures. It could reshape the body and transform it into a Chaos Body, allowing the user to escape the coming disaster.
Right now, the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star had sealed off all of Shadow Star, and
this seemed to be a good thing for him.
Moreover, he didn’t believe that he currently had the power to destroy the formation.
