At the sight of the nine bodyguards behind Brolyn, the many Stellar-level Experts present were all alarmed.
C2-grade laser guns?
Energy weapons above C-grade were restricted weapons, not something one could easily purchase.
Even with the right channels, they were exorbitantly expensive for Stellar-level fighters like them.
A single C2-grade laser gun was worth no less than slaves at the first or second tier of the Universe level.
Looking at those dark gun barrels, though none were aimed at any of them, the atmosphere in the conference room still fell deathly silent.
"Everyone, as long as we unite and have these weapons, if we merely ask for a few entry slots, even someone as overbearing as God should give us some face."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Brolyn was satisfied inwardly, though nothing showed on his face. His tone remained calm.
Fortunately, to ensure his safety on this trip, he had ordered his bodyguards to bring nine laser guns. Otherwise, he would have been out of options now.
"But what if God still refuses to yield? These laser guns alone probably won't be enough to threaten him."
After a moment of silence, someone spoke. Once someone took the lead, others immediately began speaking one after another.
"Exactly. Energy weapons may be powerful, but they do not pose much of a deterrent to an Expert, do they? Even with nine laser guns, it is probably impossible to scare him off with just those, right?"
"That's true. No matter how powerful laser guns are, someone still has to use them. An Expert like God is not a target. How could he possibly stand still and let you shoot him?"
Hearing those words, Brolyn's heart immediately sank.
He had not expected God's deterrent effect on these Stellar Warriors to be so immense. Nine C2-grade laser guns were enough to force a Universe-level Expert to retreat.
Yet in these people's eyes, they still were not enough to make God back down.
At that thought, Brolyn could not help recalling those eyes burning with crimson-gold divine flames.
As those eyes surfaced in his mind, Brolyn felt as though he were facing two terrifying stars.
"Everyone, you are exaggerating. No matter how strong God is, he is only Stellar level. With nine C2-grade laser guns and tens of thousands of Stellar Warriors, we could bury him under sheer numbers.
No matter how strong he is, his genetic energy is limited. If we attack together, he definitely will not have enough genetic energy to sustain it."
Seeing the atmosphere shifting in the wrong direction, the many leaders Brolyn had contacted beforehand began speaking up to refute them.
The voices in the conference room gradually split into two factions, and the arguments became incessant.
"Quiet down."
"If God refuses to agree, then with nine laser guns, we can force him away from the entrance. Then tens of thousands of Stellar Warriors can rush in together and charge into the World within a World.
No matter how domineering God is, he cannot possibly slaughter all of us."
Brolyn did not notice that, as he spoke, he had already placed his side in the position of the weak.
"The Ninth Prince is right. We are all elites from the various factions of Black Dragon Mountain. God might dare kill hundreds or thousands of us, but would he dare kill us all?
If he offended so many factions to the death at once, would he still be able to get anywhere in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire afterward?"
Once Brolyn spoke, his supporters began echoing him.
Hearing Brolyn's proposal, the others were somewhat tempted as well.
The reason they had come here was because they were unwilling to give up on the treasures within the World within a World.
Brolyn's proposal had a high chance of success. Moreover, with so many people involved, even if God held a grudge, he would only hold it against the leader, Ninth Prince Brolyn.
Not small fry like them.
Seeing everyone begin to agree, much of the gloom in Brolyn's heart dissipated.
On the other side of the mountain range, Jiang Ming emerged from the safe house and leisurely lay back down on his recliner.
At that moment, the intelligent light brain on his wrist suddenly vibrated. Jiang Ming raised his hand and glanced at it.
It displayed a large number of Stellar-level energy signatures approaching his location.
At the sight of this, Jiang Ming's lazy expression vanished.
"Li Yue, go hide in the safe house."
From the very first day, he had scattered numerous warning robots across several hundred kilometers around him, ensuring that he would not be blind to his surroundings.
Upon hearing Jiang Ming's order, Li Yue immediately accepted it and withdrew.
At that moment, Jiang Ming also saw the large number of Stellar Warriors outside the mountain range, advancing toward him.
These Stellar Warriors formed one square formation after another as they advanced toward Jiang Ming's location.
Jiang Ming coldly watched the Stellar-level army advance. He gripped his war blade tightly, the genetic energy within him poised to erupt.
His gaze fell upon the warning line he had drawn. This was the rule he had set.
Those who crossed the line would die!
Thus, he could not be bothered with pointless words.
Within the distant army, Brolyn stood at the center of a formation surrounded by tens of thousands of Stellar Warriors, yet the farther he walked, the more alarmed he became.
He felt a pressure as immense as a mountain and as unfathomable as an abyss.
God merely stood quietly at the entrance to the World within a World, yet he gave Brolyn the feeling of an ancient divine mountain.
With every step Brolyn took, it felt as though his heart were being squeezed.
Was this man truly so terrifying?
Brolyn gradually lost his confidence, but when he looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers around him, he rallied again.
No matter how strong he is, he is only one man. Besides, all we want is to get past him.
The army of Stellar Warriors gradually approached the forbidden line Jiang Ming had set. At the very front were Stellar-level slaves purchased by the various squads.
Controlled by others, they had been forced to walk in front.
Though they did not dare defy their Masters' orders, their hearts were still filled with unease as they approached that warning line.
It was as if crossing it would bring about the overturning of heaven and earth.
The closer the army drew to the forbidden line, the slower they moved, as if invisible waves were blowing toward them through the air ahead.
Making it difficult for the entire army of tens of thousands of Stellar Warriors to take even a single step.
"God! How about making a deal?"
Brolyn's voice rang out from within the formation, echoing throughout the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range.
"I'll give you thirty seconds."
Jiang Ming also wanted to hear what Brolyn intended to say.
At that moment, the formation of Stellar-level troops had already approached the warning line. The Stellar Warriors standing at the very front looked at Jiang Ming on the mountain and felt that the force of his presence alone was stronger than their army of tens of thousands.
"How about giving us one hundred slots? Just one hundred slots to enter the World within a World, and we can stop fighting."
Jiang Ming gave no response whatsoever to Brolyn's words.
"God! No matter how strong you are, can you stand against our army of tens of thousands of Stellar Warriors? I will not hide it from you—we brought a great many energy weapons. No matter how strong you are, what can you do?"
Seeing that Jiang Ming did not react, Brolyn immediately raised his voice. Sound waves wrapped in genetic energy surged forth, making the eardrums of the bodyguards around him ache.
Jiang Ming remained silent, merely watching them in stillness.
"Move the warning line back ten li. After thirty seconds, anyone within ten li of the warning line will die!"
Brolyn did not receive the reply he wanted. All he received was a sentence as cold as the stellar wind blowing from a dead star, washing over the ears of everyone present!
