Only Dogs Form Alliances
The Giant's enormous eyes were full of mockery. "Did your cultivation ruin your brain? If you want to provoke this trouble, go ahead! Without them keeping order up there, you bunch of idiots would have had your brains smashed out long ago! At least we can maintain a semblance of peace now!"
Although the words were crude, they struck a chord with many people.
It is precisely the fear of the unfathomable strength of Number One Group, and the fear of the infighting among the two sides and the benefit of the third party after a full-scale war, that has maintained the current fragile balance.
Everyone suspected that Number One Group had the ability to clear the field, and their current inaction might simply be a wait for the best opportunity to reap the rewards.
After all, achieving the Epic Tinder means possessing the strength to withstand more than thirty waves of terrifying attacks!
"A rabble!" The Giant's voice echoed through the channel.
"Either lie low like a rat in the gutter, praying the Continued Battle will end quickly! Or be a true warrior, draw your weapons, and fight to the death in a fair and square battle! Only dogs form alliances, it's disgusting!"
Don't invite me to the next stray dog gathering, I'm a human!
As soon as he finished speaking, he abruptly left the channel, leaving behind a deathly silence.
The channel was silent, the oppressive atmosphere suffocating.
Finally, a voice filled with strange noises, as if composed of countless tiny sounds, broke the silence. It was the Consciousness Entity, a half-human, half- the Unspeakable being.
"This... Mr. Giant, though his words were a bit rude, has pointed out a crucial point."
The investigator's voice carried an unsettling whisper, "The rules for this Continued Battle don't provide a direct confrontation. However..."
He then changed the subject. "There is a way to break this deadlock."
He shared a message on the channel; it was a card: [Reality Interference Card) ]
"Unfortunately, its current quality is too low to pose a threat to Epic -level targets. I need another... [Card Quality Breakthrough Card) ]. Gentlemen, does anyone have one?"
"Haha! [Demon King]! Your aura is pure and violent! My god admires warriors like you the most!"
A loud, war-drum-like sound rang out, coming from the Giant, ten meters tall and covered in totems.
"Consider joining the ranks of my God of War? Glory and power will be yours to share!"
Song Shige, on the other end of the private chat, glanced at the big guy but showed no interest in responding.
"No problem! Faith can be discussed later, but cooperation is of utmost urgency. I am Leopold, Divinity follower of the God of War. This contact is on behalf of my side to request an alliance with you."
"As a token of my sincerity, I can reveal to you all the teams that the Golden Core cultivator just mentioned secretly linked up, and the sordid agreements they've tentatively reached. These cowards only dare to whisper in the shadows, unaware that true victory always belongs only to the brave who dare to fight..."
After leaving the channel, Leopold immediately spoke with his subordinates and then initiated a private chat with Number One Group, hoping to form an alliance.
This alliance, if the dogs won't do it, I will!
I, the God of War, love nothing more than plotting and scheming!
In Leopold's world, the belief system is complex and intertwined, but fortunately, in the District War, the Gods worshipped by the other teams on his battlefield do not directly conflict with his God of War.
He was also very lucky; there were even followers of the gods of God of Fate and God of Wisdom on the battlefield.
This enabled them to establish near-complete cooperation during the District War phase. With their highly efficient coordination enhanced by their faith, Leopold amassed a staggering 45 million Tinder Shards, surpassing all others in the competition.
However, even with such a massive accumulation, he was still just one step away from touching that Legendary [Epic] quality. This made him both wary and eager for the Epic Tinder of Number One Group.
He urgently needs to know the required number of fragments for Epic quality and to forge a closer alliance with Epic teams.
"[Full Conversion Card) ]? Not bad, I happen to have one. I'll exchange it for your card, Demon King... In that case, the deal is done."
"... So that's how it is. Advancing to Epic requires a staggering 55 million fragments..."
Looking at the two [Reality Interference Card) ] in Song Shige's hand, Leopold understood the meaning of Number One Group.
[Wave 21]
[Remaining groups: 34.21%]
The fifth timeline arrived. Five hundred kilometers away, the edge of the radiant light rippled slightly, and then, a cold and austere steel legion silently appeared.
A Deep Space Mothership, over a kilometer long, resembled a moving steel mountain. Its thick composite armor was covered with laser turrets and missile launch silos, and its main gun was emitting a deep hum.
Beneath the mothership, a humanoid war machine nearly forty meters tall slammed onto the ground. On its streamlined, dark armor, a ghostly blue energy matrix flickered like breathing.
Wielding a colossal ship-slaying sword as tall as itself, with its back thrusters spewing out eerie blue flames, it resembled a giant god descending upon the earth.
Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away along the attack path corresponding to the Sanctuary, there were hundreds of thousands of attack drones, swarming like bees, moving nimbly and forming attack formations. The light of their weapons converged beneath their wings into a sea of death.
"Wow, this is good stuff."
Su Luo's eyes lit up as she emerged from the Fire Domain, having specially opened the Laboratory to observe the attack situation as soon as possible.
The next second, the mech, weighing thousands of tons, came hurtling through the air with its blade in hand. The ground beneath its feet instantly turned to dust due to the reaction force, and at the same time, its thrusters exploded, transforming its massive body into a blue lightning bolt that tore the earth apart.
Its ship-slaying sword trailed a long tail as it charged forward at terrifying speed, carving a deep, bottomless, glass-like trench into the earth wherever it passed.
The Deep Space Mothership's main cannon began to slowly gather energy, its light intensity increasing as it gradually Lock-On onto the [Tinder].
Su Luo patted Guizishi on the shoulder.
"That mech is yours now. Do your best."
After speaking, Su Luo stepped out of the Laboratory, his figure hovering in the air. Behind him, deep Black Flames rose from the Fire Domain like an army obeying orders, accompanied by hundreds of Meteorites wrapped in black flames, and dozens of violently agitated, ultra-high-density energy spheres emitting destructive fluctuations.
The edge of the entire Fire Domain seemed to come alive, splitting off a moving, half-kilometer-long dark curtain that swept towards the distant Deep Space Mothership as Su Luo descended.
At the same time, the swarm of drones along the path, like locusts that have spotted their prey, launched the first attack, unleashing a barrage of dense energy beams and physical munitions like a torrential downpour.
However, they had intruded into Su Luo's Black Flame Domain, which he had cultivated for a long time.
The moment they entered, the Berserk plasma within the Fire Domain seemed to be infused with a soul, and the convection speed suddenly increased.
The munitions fired by the drone swarm exploded the moment they entered the Fire Domain, like streams flowing into a raging ocean, becoming nourishment for the Fire Domain. The drones themselves, with their delicate components, instantly endured temperatures far exceeding their design limits.
They can't even reach the core area of Fire Domain.
