The Return, Part Two

People from the Future came out to observe the Meteorite and discovered that it was heading straight for the main hall of the Future Headquarters.

Someone attempted to attack, but was stopped by Lin Qimeng and the others.

They noticed that the moment the Meteorite appeared, Thousand King quietly logged into their friend system.

As the Meteorite reached the area above the base, it suddenly slowed down, and the flames disappeared, revealing the Mecha inside.

The Lord of the Elements landed steadily on the plaza, and Old Wang officially returned to the Alliance Universe.

Upon seeing this figure, everyone became excited, and the moment Old Wang deactivated his Mecha, some people pounced on him.

The crowd was excited for a while before the commotion subsided.

"Everyone! I'm back!"

Old Wang excitedly announced to everyone! On this day, Old Wang entered again... Old Wang's Legendary is about to set sail once more!

"This is the first time I've felt so comfortable not wearing Mecha!" This was Old Wang's first thought upon returning to the Alliance and looking at the sky.

He had been wearing the Mecha for far too long; during his Abyss, he had lived and eaten entirely inside Mecha.

If it weren't for the convenience of being able to log off, he doesn't even want to imagine what he would have gone through.

"Didn't you bring us any local specialties? After all, we're going to a new map!" Lin Qimeng was the first to step forward and ask.

"Of course I brought it! I've already put it in the Guild Warehouse. Everyone can just take whatever they need!" Old Wang said after giving her a hug.

At first, the group didn't pay much attention to what they heard, but they were shocked when they opened the warehouse and saw it filled with high-grade materials.

Wow! These are all high-grade materials I've never seen before!

"I've finally gathered all the materials to craft Legendary Equipment! Turns out, this stuff is only found in the new map!"

"These Legend Heart Core are actually left behind after a Legendary unit is killed! There are so many! What did the boss do?!"

While the members of the Future Guild were still in shock, Weibo, forums, and Tieba were all simultaneously flooded with posts titled "The Thousand King Returns," which shocked the entire internet.

All the Player guilds sent messages at the same time, wanting to express their goodwill, and Old Wang replied to each message.

You can't hit someone who's smiling at you. Regardless of past relationships, since they've shown goodwill first, Old Wang has no reason not to accept it.

In any case, they were always the ones who suffered losses in previous encounters.

After celebrating for a while, the members of the Future Guild dispersed, as there were simply too many things waiting for Old Wang to handle.

"You know that after you left, the Mutant Insect were hunted down to their home planet by the combined forces of humans and Star Spirit. The Mutant Insect Overlord mobilized all its resources to build their home planet into Nest Instance Dungeon."

This is a 100-player raid instance for level 50-60 players, and no one has been able to clear Instance Dungeon for so long.

Even gathering 100 level 50 guilds is rare; the third-to-last boss in this Instance Dungeon is Legendary.

Only three guilds, including ours, have defeated this boss, but we're all stuck on the penultimate boss and haven't seen the Mutant Insect Overlord yet.

"And then there's the duel between the Star Spirit and us, which is scheduled for a month from now."

Although the rules haven't been finalized yet, at that guy's suggestion, the Legendary of Martial Arts can also participate in this competition.

"Many Player in the Spacetime Legion have sided with the NPCs, but there haven't been any major meetings; they've all been small, profit-driven gatherings. I bet they're starting to tremble with fear now."

"..."

Perhaps it was Old Wang's return that gave everyone a sense of security, because they reported all the problems they had been facing to Old Wang.

However, most problems are easily solved once Old Wang shows up.

With the official Alliance Chair back, Zhang Yi, the acting leader, can step down.

Once he stepped down, most things calmed down; only two issues remained: the Mutant Insect Overlord's Nest Instance Dungeon and the Star Spirit's challenge.

There's no rush with the Instance Dungeon; we'll clear it sooner or later. It's just that the Star Spirit challenge is a bit troublesome.

The Star Spirit and humans had just joined forces when they decisively defeated their common enemy.

This resulted in virtually no camaraderie between the Star Spirit and humans, but since both sides are highly Intelligence races, they have maintained a degree of restraint.

Moreover, their technologies were not too different from each other. Although the Star Spirit were slightly ahead in technology, Ye Wuyou had left a deep impression on them.

Since there was no obvious conflict in the resource needs of the two sides, a war did not break out.

However, all of this is temporary, and no one can say for sure what the future holds.

So they came up with a plan together: to establish an Alliance that Alliance not only the Star Spirit and humans, but also the Star Spirit's allies.

Since it's Alliance, it needs a leader, and the Star Spirit and his allies naturally support the Star Spirit.

But given human nature, how could they possibly give up this position?

Since neither side really understood the other, they decided to settle things with force, with whoever had the bigger fist becoming the leader.

Originally, both sides wanted to avoid damaging relations by having someone below the Legendary take action, but things went wrong because of General Zhang.

I don't know where he got his confidence from, insisting that Legendary powerhouses could also participate. The Star Spirit have more Legendary Ninth Rank than humans, so of course they're willing to participate.

After some deliberation, the group roughly understood General Zhang's thoughts.

He probably wanted to kick the Player out, to prevent them from entering the center of power in this Universe.

Because if players below the Legendary level participate, Player simply can't avoid them.

Because the experience required to go from level 50 to 60 is too much, currently, only Old Wang among all Player has broken through to Legendary level or above.

No one knew when Old Wang would return. If the Player didn't participate in this competition, they would definitely be kicked out of the center of power in this Universe.

But now that Old Wang has returned, his plan has fallen through.

Because regardless of winning or losing, they can't get around Old Wang, the Alliance Chair.

But the mess was still left behind, and if General Zhang didn't participate, Old Wang had no one else to rely on.

Also, Old Wang's level is a bit low for an NPC; for such an important battle, Star Spirit will definitely be at Legendary Ninth Rank.

According to the Player, Old Wang is currently no match for Legendary Ninth Rank opponent.

"Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now! I'll wait until tomorrow's Alliance Council, and then I'll get back my position as Alliance Chair!" Old Wang didn't have any good ideas either.

Although he felt he was fine, it didn't seem like it was enough for him to be the only one without problems.

~~~

The next day

Old Wang logged on early and joined the others to Thousand King the Center Star, preparing to attend the Alliance Council.

But as soon as he stepped out of the Teleportation Array, Old Wang sensed something was wrong, and the system notification quickly confirmed this.

"System notification: Someone has launched an assassination attempt against you. If you are killed, you will lose your position as Alliance Chair."

Old Wang: "..."

This position is too easy to lose. He felt that if he hadn't survived every time he was in the Abyss, he would have lost it long ago.

If he were to die even once, his status would never be "missing".

"What happened?" Lin Qimeng asked, looking at Old Wang looked pained.

"It's nothing, just move away, someone's trying to kill me!" With that, Old Wang summoned his Mecha and blocked a laser beam flying from afar.

Future this, everyone reacted quickly, immediately summoning their Mecha to surround Old Wang in the center.

Unfortunately, their strength wasn't quite enough...

The assassination attempt on Old Wang involved seven Legendary Mecha: one Legendary Mid Rank and six Legendary Low Rank.

If everyone in the Future were to team up against a Legendary Low Rank, they might still have a chance to win, but now... after the opponent's volley of shots, only Old Wang is left on the field.

Fortunately, they didn't lose their official positions after their deaths; in fact, perhaps because they were just caught in the crossfire, they didn't lose anything.

"Is this my welcome ceremony? You guys always manage to make me angry at the perfect moment."

Old Wang looked at the spot where his fallen companion had collapsed because he hadn't been able to protect him and said...

But these guys were clearly suicide squad members; they showed no intention of communicating with Old Wang.

Another round of attacks began. After all, this was the Central Star, and although some people were helping them hold off reinforcements, they didn't have much time.

However, something unexpected happened: after another round of attacks, the person in front of them was still unharmed, while they were badly injured by the counterattacks.

"Finished? Is it my turn next?"

Old Wang's words sounded like the whispers of Demon to these people, and they instinctively took a step back.

Old Wang vanished before their eyes, his Crystal Longsword plunging into the chest of a Mecha.

The Elemental Power erupted, and the Mecha collapsed instantly.
