Thirty Years East of the River, the Terror of the Holy God

The leader of the 19th District Assassins, "Arikaiser," suddenly issued a signal.

All the assassins suddenly appeared from the shadows surrounding Zhang Mingzhen!

They each unleashed their strongest killing moves, and dazzling skill lights instantly enveloped the Cheater!

However, a series of shockingly low damage numbers appeared above the opponent's head.

The faces of the high-ranking assassins immediately turned ashen—was this some kind of tickle?

"Damn, this is what people in Dragon Han call gua sha!"

"Even a tickle would be stronger than this!"

In an instant, self-doubt surged into my mind: Was my ability really that inadequate?

"No, FUCK, this is cheating!"

"I'm going to report this to the official website!"

"There's no official website. You only have one option: quit the game and don't log into the server," someone said helplessly.

"That's all."

Before they could recover from the attack, a massive area-of-effect attack erupted around them in the next second.

The entire assassin squad was wiped out in an instant, along with many other players who belonged to the same team.

And so, with Zhang Mingzhen's Cheater and decisive strike, without even blinking, the once bustling and crowded coastline became empty and desolate again in just ten minutes.

Most of these people had just arrived in the vicinity and were still on their march, so they had no time to set up a temporary respawn point before being sent back to their birthplace.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Mingzhen rode the Wildsea Candle Dragon to patrol the surrounding area for a week. After confirming that there were no remaining resurrection arrays, he left his battle pet to guard the area again and turned back to the Undersea Dragon Palace.

Ten minutes—not a long time, but short enough—was enough to wipe out a team of 100,000 people.

If it were just a game, that would be one thing, but the problem is that reality is merging with the game.

This is a self-propelled nuclear bomb!

It's like having the power of a nuclear bomb.

Ten minutes, annihilate 100,000!

Even an ordinary person couldn't kill ants that quickly.

Unless medication is used.

This was enough to cause a name that was familiar to all players to suddenly appear on the real-time leaderboard of Territory War, and to begin dominating the leaderboard.

Since the start of the Territory War, the rankings on the kill leaderboard have been constantly changing amidst the fierce battles between the major guilds.

Some well-known and powerful players have gradually appeared in the battle achievement statistics of various guilds.

"As expected, the Dragon Han Direct Legion still has the highest number of casualties. The fighting in Fragrant Cloud City is too intense; it hasn't stopped since the start of the war."

"The Legion's coordinated combat capabilities are too formidable. Even if some guilds have slightly stronger individual combat strength, they still can't break through Fragrant Cloud City's defensive zone! I'm utterly impressed!"

"The overall combat skills of the directly subordinate Legion are indeed top-notch."

"Just look at their guild's kill list. Although they don't have any particularly outstanding star players, everyone's strength is well-balanced, and there are almost no weaknesses. Such a guild is too difficult to deal with."

"Yes, the key is their resilience. They're not afraid of losses or losing equipment. Private armies just can't compare to public armies; there's no way to argue with that."

"That's right. Even in the Mai Kingdom with the strongest private sector development, we still need to establish public guilds to compete."

"The performance of the War Alliance was also unexpected! We thought they wouldn't be able to hold out for long by defending the city alone, but they withstood two rounds of fierce attacks in succession, which is truly impressive."

"We thought the Orc City would be a breakthrough, but it turns out to be a tough nut to crack."

"It seems no city can be taken easily."

"Don't forget about the Undersea Dragon Palace."

"That One-Person Guild is really lucky. They haven't been attacked by other guilds yet. They can practically just sit back and watch the game go by."

"If only our guild had signed up back then, we might be the ones occupying the Dragon Palace now!"

"What are those guilds that haven't occupied the city waiting for? Why aren't they attacking the Undersea Dragon Palace yet? Even if it's a high-level wilderness area, surely they can find a way to get close?" someone urged.

"Otherwise, how did that person get there? I regret not signing up for the battle. If we had known this would happen, our guild should have fought for it!"

"Insider information! A guild has arrived near the Undersea Dragon Palace, but the attack failed! The entire raid group has been wiped out and respawned!"

"I can't believe this 'insider information'."

"You mean this 'whole raid' is just a small guild with only a few people? Trying to snag a bargain? I have my doubts."

"Although I don't want to believe it either... just look at the real-time data on the various leaderboards in the Territory War... I'm completely stunned."

The onlookers then realized what was happening and turned their attention to the Territory War leaderboard.

Surprisingly, the name of that One-Person Guild appeared on the highly anticipated guild rankings!

The kill count that followed was staggering.

Tens of thousands of people!

Then I clicked on the guild's detailed battle record—if I remember correctly, the One-Person Guild really only had one person.

So this astonishing number of kills...

"One-Person Guild"

"President: Chongxing."

Kills:

Countless players were stunned by these three lines of information.

They had forgotten the existence of the Cheater that could never be measured by common sense, because they had habitually assumed that Territory War were a free-for-all.

"I am guilty! I actually forgot about the existence of the Cheater! I was wrong, and now I shed tears of remorse!"

"Yes, I apologize to the Cheater. I was so stupid, I forgot that there's no limit to cheating."

"I take back all my previous disdain for the One-Person Guild! I was too naive and forgot that there really are Cheater in this world who can take on ten thousand single-handedly!"

"You underestimate him. He's invincible; the number of people he can kill is only limited by time."

"The Cheater are truly awe-inspiring at any time!"

"Won't you be lonely Cheater the Deep-Sea Dragon Palace all by yourself? If you need companions, I'll be waiting here!"

"Yeah, I want to cheat too! I dream about it all the time! I really, really want to cheat!"

"I've said it before: a 'One-Person Guild' is extraordinary. How could someone who can build a guild and conquer a city single-handedly be ordinary!"

"Come on, stop being a Monday morning quarterback!"

"Exactly, hindsight is 20/20!"

"Add one!"

"Oh no! How could I forget about this Cheater!"

"We can't believe we didn't consider this earlier! We've really lost more than we gained! Everyone, form a team and continue towards Tomb City! Time is of the essence!"

The players of the Mai Kingdom Alliance in the 19th District, who respawned at the resurrection point, were filled with regret. If time could be turned back, they would never have set foot in the Undersea Dragon Palace.

Now, not only have we suffered heavy losses, but we have also lost all face.

The entire region's combat power was suppressed by one person. What will other players think if this news gets out?

It's simply outrageous that someone would cheat like that.

This damn game doesn't have an official website, and I can't find customer service to complain to.

Otherwise, they could pay people to generate hundreds of millions of complaints!

After seeing the battle report, alliances from other war zones also abandoned their plans to go to the Dragon Palace to take advantage of the situation.

That sea area is not only teeming with high-level monsters, but it is also guarded by a terrifying being comparable to a monster. Unless one is desperate, who would want to risk such trouble?

In this Territory War, the capture of the Undersea Dragon Palace by a "One-Person Guild" was already a huge surprise, but the final ownership of "Tomb City" was even more unexpected.

The 19th District, 66th District, and 22nd District are not the only ones eyeing "Tomb City"; at least five or six surrounding districts are also engaged in fierce battles there.

No one expected that the "Xuancheng Allied Forces," who had been underestimated and almost ignored, would ultimately capture Tomb City.

That is, the abandoned and despised loser district union.

Let's rewind to thirty minutes before the countdown.

At this very moment.

Most of the cities that had been captured were now embroiled in fierce fighting.

Zhang Mingzhen had no time to clear out the monsters anymore, and instead focused on sweeping away the external guild members who kept pouring onto the beach.

Meanwhile, Fragrant Cloud City, where the Legion Guild was stationed, was under simultaneous attack from several major regions. The situation in other cities was also not optimistic, with the battle in Tomb City being the most devastating.

"Only half an hour left, it's our turn to make a move."

"Let the players of the God's Domain world see the capabilities of the Xuancheng Allied Forces —proceed as planned. Once I infiltrate the city, I will summon you all immediately!"

The Xuancheng Guild, including the 77th District, which had been lurking on the outskirts of Tomb City, were finally preparing to launch a general offensive.

In order to make a name for himself in this battle, Sunshine specially asked the Holy God for help.

The Holy God bestowed upon him a high-level secret treasure, which could conceal his identity, evade all anti-stealth detection on the city walls, and allow him to silently infiltrate the city.

Once he finds a secluded spot, he can activate guild summons and party summons, tearing apart the defensive zone of Tomb City from within.

This allows them to evade defenses.

Each occupied city would have gun emplacements erected on its walls and hidden anti-stealth mechanisms throughout, specifically to prevent assassins from sneaking in.

This often led the guilds guarding the city to lower their guard.

Sunshine, taking advantage of its invisibility, can only rely on physical strength to climb the high wall.

Once in-game skills are used, invisibility will be disabled.

To avoid attracting attention by moving too quickly, he could only proceed slowly.

Fortunately, even without his skills, his physical abilities remained, and his honed reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills were still intact.

After successfully reaching a secluded corner within the city, he immediately revealed himself and chanted a summoning incantation.

A massive Teleportation Array appeared beneath their feet, and in an instant, countless guild members appeared within the city.

"Proceed according to plan!"

"Activate team summoning and bring in members from other guilds! Try to stall for time; those who complete the summoning will follow me straight to the core crystal!"

"Guild Master, should we send an assassin squad to stealthily approach the core crystal and eliminate the surrounding guards?" an administrator suggested.

"Can."

"Now, send the assassin squad to launch a surprise attack. If there are anti-stealth mechanisms around the crystal, then launch a direct assault—we outnumber them and will catch them off guard!"

"Hehe, don't worry, guild leader. Those alliances are still fighting fiercely outside the city; there aren't many people left inside."

"They would never have imagined we could sneak in— the Holy God One's methods Gao Ming!"

"Of course, the Holy God One is omnipotent. What is Chongxing to that? He's just a slightly more skilled player."

"Before the Holy God One, these so-called experts are no match for him!"

When the 19th District Guild Alliance finally regrouped and returned to the battlefield of Tomb City.

Before me was a surging crowd, and the deafening roar of battle.

As far as the eye could see, it was impossible to discern directions; countless hostile figures marked in red surged toward them like a tide.

The commander leading the attack had to desperately search for gaps in the defensive line, trying to create a breakthrough.

The Guardians Guild of Tomb City deployed a large number of its members around the city's perimeter, setting up a defensive perimeter to prevent any large-scale enemy forces from approaching the city walls.

This heavy troop deployment naturally left the city's defenses weak.

That's why, when the commander of the city's defense guild suddenly received an urgent report that the crystal in the city center was under attack, he could hardly believe his ears.

"What's going on? How could a team have infiltrated the city? Which direction did they come from? Why were there no warnings at any section of the city wall?!"

"I don't know... that army of tens of thousands of people seems to have appeared out of thin air in the city."

"The guards on all four sides of the city walls confirmed that no one was allowed to pass through, and all insisted that they had not seen any enemy."

"A bunch of useless idiots!"

"Return to reinforce immediately! Have the main force at the North Gate turn around right away!"

Before the words were even finished, a cold system notification sounded:

"The core crystal of Tomb City has shattered, and all defensive structures on the city walls have failed."

In an instant, the attacking troops, who had also heard the notification, were filled with high morale and their battle cries shook the heavens.

The defenders of the city were suddenly caught in a desperate situation, attacked from both sides.

After the central crystal is shattered, the newly invading guild has one minute to occupy it.

If control is successfully established during this period, the ownership of the city will change.

"Full speed back to base! We absolutely cannot let them erect the new crystal!"

The commander roared the order, no longer caring about the other guilds locked in battle outside the city—what would be the point of victory or defeat on the outskirts if the city itself were lost?

A minute is only sixty seconds long.

When the main force of the original defenders rushed back to the city center, the brand-new Crystal had already stood tall.

They completely lost their initial advantage.

In Gao Linzhi's opinion, the Skyfall Game System was too kind and too humane.

It needs to be changed to half an hour.

That's how you get your brain working.

Otherwise, if the occupation ends in a minute, what's the point of any intensity?

As expected, the alliance, mainly composed of players from Xuancheng, was in high spirits and, with the help of the city's defenses, wiped out the remaining garrison that had broken into the city one by one.

If it takes half an hour to capture, at this moment, neither side has the help of city defenses, and the two sides are evenly matched, so they can only fight a bloody battle.

That's what makes it intense.

With the cannons mounted on the city walls, their defenses were impregnable.

In the final thirty minutes, the names of the occupying guilds on the event leaderboard changed frequently, and some cities even changed hands twice in just ten minutes.

The intense fighting thrilled the spectators outside the battle zone.

"The last half hour was absolutely insane... The kill leaderboard kept getting refreshed, and that pro player's kill count has already surpassed 300,000."

"Apart from the great god's 'Undersea Dragon Palace' and a certain army's 'Fragrant Cloud City,' the occupants of almost all other cities have changed hands multiple times."

"I have to admire the War Alliance the most—they managed to regroup after the city fell and even recaptured the Orc City. They're really impressive."

"Look at Tomb City! Breaking news: the one who took over Tomb City is a guild alliance called 'Holy God Followers'."

"After checking, it seems that all the guilds inside are from Xuancheng, and they're probably from the same group that used to be in 77th District and 65th District."

"Really? How can their combat strength be so high? Weren't they exiled to Xuancheng back then? Their levels and equipment shouldn't be up to par..."

"Are the Holy God Followers really that terrifying?"

"This time, that guild has really been humiliated."

"They probably didn't expect that these separated regions could grow to this extent."

"Thirty years east of the river, the river flows on."
