News that Ares, a veteran Saint Lord Level powerhouse of the War God Palace, had led tens of thousands in an assault on the Gu Ding Pirate Crew and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat spread across the entire Main Plane almost overnight.
Photos and videos of Ares and his group were everywhere. For a time, the Main Plane's internet was filled with discussions of that battle.
Ares had reached the Saint Lord Level a century ago. Unlike the previously defeated Theo, Ares's identity represented the pride of the entire War God Palace.
After all, there were only five Saint Lord Level powerhouses publicly known on the Main Plane, and Ares was one of them.
Moreover, for the past century, ordinary people had regarded him as a supreme god upon a pedestal. Yet someone of his status had been defeated—and utterly humiliated, without even a pair of underwear left.
For a time, Ares became a laughingstock.
At the same time, he became a stepping stone for the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.
After this incident, the Gu Ding Pirate Crew finally gained the attention of nearly everyone on the Main Plane.
On all twenty-eight major internet search engines of the Main Plane, the Gu Ding Pirate Crew had taken first place on the search rankings.
Especially on the Bai Du Search Engine, which had the highest search volume, searches for "Gu Ding Pirate Crew" surpassed ten trillion overnight, more than dozens of times higher than the second-ranked term.
On all kinds of social platforms, "Gu Ding Pirate Crew" also became the top trending search term and the focus of public discussion.
It could be said that the Main Plane had not seen such a spectacle for several hundred epochs.
This battle allowed the Gu Ding Pirate Crew to truly gain a foothold
