Liliath VS Miniana

Hake's elimination caused Gu Ding's points to surge to over eight million, replacing Hake's previous thirteenth place ranking on the Ranking List.

The sudden surge in Gu Ding's points caused considerable panic among many in the Flame Zone.

In fact, besides those from the Flame Zone, many other powerful individuals from other regions also noticed the change in Gu Ding's points. Among them, many had noticed Hake's presence. Although they didn't know exactly how strong Hake was, his rapid rise to thirteenth on the Ranking List in such a short time was enough to determine his strength—at least placing him among the top experts. The fact that Hake's name disappeared from the Ranking List and was replaced by Gu Ding made it easy to imagine what had just happened.

Of course, not everyone has this kind of self-awareness.

"That guy named Hake, never even heard of him. He's not even on the Demigod Prodigy Ranking, yet he's ranked thirteenth on the overall list. Gu Ding's luck is really good; being assigned to the same zone as such a guy is practically a gift. If it were me, I'd be the first to plunder him." These words came from a young man ranked outside the top eight hundred. He couldn't fathom that Hake's true strength was no weaker than Gu Ding's, but not everyone thought so. "Although that Hake seems like an unknown nobody, climbing to thirteenth on the Ranking List in less than half a day is definitely not something simple. A top-tier expert who struggled to climb into the top twenty knows what ranking thirteenth means; it's definitely not something that can be achieved by luck. As time goes on, the Ranking List will actually become closer to the actual combat strength rankings of players in this virtual world."

Gu Ding paid little attention to the attention he received from others. Hake's situation was bothering him. He lingered there for a while before leaving to search for his next target.

Meanwhile, in the Purple Lightning Zone, Liliath was being watched by some with ulterior motives. She remained number one on the Ranking List, with a total score approaching forty million, making her a conspicuous target. The vast majority of powerful figures in the entire virtual world were monitoring her movements. And many powerful figures in the Purple Lightning Zone, upon discovering her presence there, rushed towards her location.

Not everyone was after Liliath. Some were using Liliath as bait, their real purpose being to plunder others. Others, after witnessing Liliath 'Liliath power, changed their minds and shifted their focus to others.

In a world of lightning, Liliath stood high atop the head of a Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent several thousand meters long, its head held six or seven hundred meters above the ground. It was a three-star Peak-rank God deity within this world of lightning. This was the limit of power Liliath could control after using her Pupil Technique.

Besides the giant Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent, Liliath also controlled more than a dozen Scarlet Thunder Horned Rhinoceros, all of which were beings of the Two-Star Peak-rank God Peak-rank God.

Upon seeing such an army, most of those who wanted to attack Liliath immediately backed down. This included several powerful individuals whose strength was no less than Liliath's. For them, fighting a single two- or three-star Peak-rank God virtual life form was not difficult, but encountering a group of them meant they had absolutely no chance of winning.

Liliath stood atop the Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent's head, surveying everything with disdain. Suddenly, a Black Radiance shot up from below, aimed directly at her. Liliath frowned, and with a light tap of her toes, she leaped into the air, dodging the attack. She was somewhat surprised that someone would dare to launch a sneak attack on her, even under the protection of the beast horde.

But her surprise lasted only a moment before she sensed a hint of killing intent behind her. The killing intent was extremely faint and perfectly concealed. If Liliath hadn't had prior experience dealing with certain special insectoid races, she would have had absolutely no chance of detecting it.

The moment she sensed the killing intent, Liliath leaped off the head of the Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent without turning her head. Before she even hit the ground, the massive Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent let out a mournful cry before its huge body crashed to the ground.

Liliath also noticed that the Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent had died from a single blow piercing its brain. Watching its corpse gradually dissipate, Liliath knew she had truly met her match this time. Even Elsa and Dokter hadn't been able to kill it in one move. This opponent, while not as strong Gu Ding Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent, was likely not far off.

Liliath's face was solemn as she looked towards the source of the killing intent behind the corpse of the Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent.

As the enormous corpse disintegrated, she finally saw what her opponent looked like.

She was a girl who looked younger than herself. She had short black hair, bright black eyes, and long, slightly curved eyelashes that were obviously natural. Her thin face had an indifferent and cold expression.

The girl held a Black Dagger in each hand, the two daggers looking unlike anything from this era, and were now staring coldly at Liliath.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?" Liliath was puzzled, wondering where the other person had come from. Before entering the game, she had carefully checked the information of everyone on the Demigod Prodigy Ranking. On that Ranking List, there were fewer than ten people who could pose a threat to her, and this girl in front of her was clearly not one of them.

"Her name is Miniana. Her strongest Combat Strength so far is a four-star Peak-rank God, and her slaughter speed is no slower than Futu's. The reason she's not ranked high is because she distributed her points to others. I don't know her background; I can't find any information about her on the SkyNet." The Sea Emperor's voice clearly entered Liliath's ears. "Be careful; she's a powerhouse on par with Gu Ding."

Liliath frowned slightly upon hearing this. She hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable opponent so soon. She had thought that in this virtual world, only Futu could rival Gu Ding, but she hadn't anticipated that this seemingly ordinary little girl possessed such strength. Originally, she had planned to test her opponent's strength first, but after hearing the Sea Emperor's words, she knew there was no need for that anymore.

Miniana had no intention of answering Liliath's question. Her figure flashed like a shadow, appearing in front of Liliath in an instant.

Liliath's pupils instantly turned gold, and upon seeing those eyes, Miniana froze in place. She had been drawn into an illusion by Liliath.

Within the illusion, Miniana's movements were far from static. Her dagger pierced Liliath's throat, and she appeared behind Liliath. Turning her head, she watched Liliath's body slowly disintegrate in mid-air before sheathing her dagger and leaping away from her original spot, without even checking her surging points.

But she hadn't gone far when she suddenly stopped, because several Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent blocked her way.

Miniana felt a moment of doubt, because this area was the zone of Five-Star High-rank God, and theoretically, there shouldn't be any virtual life forms of Peak-rank God. But she quickly put this doubt aside, because Liliath had also controlled a Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent before, and these might be things that Liliath had previously controlled and brought to this area.

In a flash, her daggers reappeared, and she leaped into the air, instantly appearing behind the two giant beasts. The two daggers flashed with Black Radiance, severing the heads of the two giant beasts.

The remaining Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent immediately launched an attack on Miniana, spewing out countless purple arcs of electricity from their mouths.

Miniana, however, evaded all the attacks with a single step, then unleashed a massacre, her two daggers transforming into the blades of death, relentlessly reaping the lives of the behemoths. In less than half a minute, all eight behemoths were slaughtered.

As the last Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent fell and vanished in fragments, what Miniana saw next made her frown slightly. The eight Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent blocking her path had doubled in number, becoming sixteen.

After expending considerable effort to kill them all, the number of Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent doubled again, reaching thirty-two. She immediately realized that she might have fallen under Liliath's illusion. But facing an opponent whose soul strength completely overwhelmed hers, the only way to break the illusion was to wait until their soul power was completely exhausted. There was no other way. She could only continue the slaughter. In any case, this illusion didn't consume much of her energy, and these three-star Peak-rank God virtual creatures didn't pose much of a threat to her, as long as she wasn't hit.

But after several rounds of slaughter, Miniana became increasingly troubled, because the number of Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent had increased to more than a thousand. The arcs of electricity spewed by those Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent almost covered all the areas where she could dodge, leaving her in a very sorry state.

Unable to dodge in time, she was struck by an arc of electricity, her body going numb and her dodging motion abruptly halted. Several Purple Lightning Thunder Serpent noticed this and immediately unleashed even more arcs of electricity, seven or eight of them striking Miniana almost simultaneously, causing her body to begin to disintegrate.

At this moment, Liliath's illusion finally dissipated. Seeing Miniana's body beginning to crumble, she quickly walked over and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"You're very strong. See you next time!"

Liliath heard a voice behind her and immediately turned around. She saw that Miniana's figure behind her was fading away rapidly, and the disintegrating corpse in front of her had turned into a palm-sized white rag doll.

"What an amazing Doppelganger Technique! Even I was fooled. This must be a true God Skill." The Sea Emperor's voice then rang in Liliath's ears.

Liliath picked up the doll, looking thoughtful.
