Just as Yao Mei found herself in a dilemma and was about to step forward to try to stop the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon along with the chaos the beast was causing, a soft, heavenly, and enchanting voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Order of Destiny!"
Although it was clearly a woman's voice and the person who spoke did not seem to be shouting in the slightest, it was as if her voice had a special effect that directly struck the soul of every player.
However, the effect the unknown voice had on the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon was a million times greater than on the players.
The footsteps of the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon, which was causing chaos and slaughtering players as if it was effortlessly crushing mere ants, stopped immediately. Players who were paying attention to the monster could even swear they saw the beast's eyes flinch slightly and shine with shock.
The players quickly searched for the source of the celestial voice and soon, one of the players pointed towards a towering rock that was quite a bit further away.
"Over there!" the player shouted.
The other players looked toward the spot pointed out by the player and gasped.
On the rock some distance away, an adult woman dressed in a deep blue wizard's robe held a luxurious-looking staff in her right hand. Although the players could not see the face of the woman who had suddenly appeared as she was wearing a veil that covered her entire face, just the sight of her body made everyone spellbound. However, what caught the attention of all the players was the silver hair color that danced softly in the wind.
That's right, silver! Everyone was astonished. Since Samsara Online emphasized the player's innate appearance in the real world, that meant that this mysterious woman who had appeared actually possessed platinum-colored hair!
Just when everyone was delighted and confused, the voice of the woman with an appearance like that of an immortal from the heavens brought them out of their daze:
"I can only hold it for 5 minutes. You should think of something before time runs out."
The woman's words were like several buckets of frozen water dumped on the head of every player present on a winter's day, sending a chill down their spines. If after five minutes they could not do something about it, the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon that had been stopped by the mysterious woman would return to wreak havoc with no one able to stop it.
But what could they do in five minutes? Let alone five minutes, even if they were five months the result would be the same! It was absolutely impossible for them to defeat an Immortal grade boss of an unknown level! They couldn't even break through the beast's defenses, let alone defeat and slay!
Yao Zenyu, who was also amazed by the heavenly beauty of the unknown woman and stupefied by the strange ability she had just displayed, came out of his daze and a conflicted look appeared in his eyes. He knew very well that it was impossible for him and his guild to defeat the boss by themselves; in this case, numbers did not matter and that frustrated Yao Zenyu greatly.
He always firmly believed that with numbers, anything could be overcome; even in the real world, as long as you had enough money, you could do pretty much whatever you wanted. However, Yao Zenyu was forced to admit that in this case, what was needed was a very strong power, one capable of piercing through any defense with unstoppable force... Like that of a spear piercing through the armor of a warrior on the battlefield.
Yao Zenyu unconsciously thought of a person, but hesitated. He really wasn't willing....
On the other hand, ignoring all the players and ignoring the mindless fight her older brother was waging against himself, Yao Mei half narrowed her beautiful eyes as she looked at the distant woman. At this moment, only one thought was shining in Yao Mei's mind and that was that this woman was weak!
Yao Mei trained all kinds of martial arts and practiced using her power to the point of exhaustion since she was only four years old. While other four years old girls played with dolls, she ignored the pain in her hands and legs to become stronger. While teenage girls her age were talking about 'love', handsome guys, or going out for afternoon coffee with their friends, she spent her time training her control and mastery over fire. While the grown-up women at her university went out to nightclubs or restaurants at night, she trained her battle power against high-tech military equipment... How could she not be strong?
Precisely because she was strong, Yao Mei could say without a doubt that the woman who stopped the boss's attack was weak. Her posture was not firm, her arms were not at the right angle to defend herself and her current position left her exposed to all kinds of attacks. Therefore, Yao Mei came to the conclusion that the reason this mysterious woman was so strong was mainly due to an item, a skill, or even a special single-use artifact.
Unconsciously, Yao Mei's eyes moved to the majestic golden and silver scepter in the woman's hands in the distance.
"There is no other choice." Yao Zenyu muttered to himself and began to call all the players in charge of protecting the other gates; Mu Wuying, Yang Tian, Red Snow, One Man Army, and naturally, Shiva.
Time flew by and the five minutes were about to expire.
During the course of time, unable to find a way out, the players began to slaughter the few thousand remaining monsters of the fifth wave and, without the intervention of the five-meter giant that was frozen by hundreds of silver threads invisible to all, the monsters were defeated... Except for one.
"Twenty seconds!" The indifferent but now slightly worried voice of the woman was like a death sentence in progress for the players and silence reigned over the place.
It was then that the sound of a galloping horse from within the city approached rapidly. All the players looked towards the north gate and saw a red horse with powerful muscles running towards the battlefield; on the horse's back, a player with a strange mask and a blood-red spear in his right hand seemed to ignore everyone and his gaze was fixed on the frozen Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon.
Shiva!
They all thought at the same time. However, although slightly excited, none of them set their expectations too high. After all, although Shiva was the player with the highest physical attack power in China and probably the entire world, the power of an Immortal beast was not something a solo player could face. Moreover, the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon's demon power had already been firmly engraved in the minds of all players.
Xie Feng ignored everyone's gaze and stared at the five-meter monster with disbelief written on his face: 'How is this possible...?'
After he, as well as the rest, was informed of what was happening at the north gate, he rushed here at full speed. As the distance between west and north was not as great as the distance between east and west, the amount of time he needed was much less.
He could clearly remember how a few hours ago the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon was under that subway cave and Xie Feng knew better than anyone else the estimated amount of time it would take one to travel the distance between the cave and Eminentis City. Xie Feng could not understand how it was possible for the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon to appear here when it was supposed to be a great distance away, separated by many forests and mountains that should be surrounded.
However, he soon shook off those thoughts. What was currently important was to defeat the Immortal grade monster, or else all the effort put in by him and the rest of the players who participated in this event mission would go down the drain.
Xie Feng could only think of using everything he had or else he wouldn't have any hope. He even thought of using Gale Track....
While thinking of what to do next, Xie Feng felt two gazes on him. Although practically 100% of the players present were staring at him in anticipation of his next action, these two gazes were clearly more intense than the rest.
The first came from a red-haired girl who had just entered her teens. Even without using his inspection skill to see the name or even without having seen even a single photograph of her before, Xie Feng was certain that she was Yao Mei; the little princess of the Yao Family.
While Xie Feng was interiorly shocked by the level of beauty that Yao Mei possessed for such a young girl, she was also carefully inspecting them with curiosity.
After giving her a glance, Xie Feng casually ignored Yao Mei and turned his face towards the source of the other intense gaze he was receiving.
Xie Feng narrowed his eyes at the sight of the woman with the scepter in her hands. Although she wore a veil covering her face, Xie Feng could feel the woman's eyes fixed on him; her gaze was as intense as if she wanted to pierce through the Two Faces mask to see his appearance.
After inspecting her, Xie Feng finally knew that this woman was Kali; the only player except for him who had overcome the Despair mode in the Beginner Village and the woman ranked as the most beautiful in all of China.

Until now, Kali was a mystery. No one had ever seen her in a place where there were other players. This was probably the first time she had shown herself to the masses openly.
"Time's up..." Kali's helpless voice brought Xie Feng back to his senses. At the same time, a powerful furious roar made the already heavy atmosphere unbearable.
ROAR!!!
The Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon's eyes were firmly fixed on Xie Feng as a dragon-like roar left its mouth.
