It was in the early hours of the morning.
Douyin) short video platform.
A piece of news about the game "[ Honor of Kings Hundred Demons Team ]" suddenly appeared in the top ten of the game's trending search list. Although its popularity was only a paltry million, it still attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of netizens.
"The guy slowly typed a question mark. This trending topic is weird. I've never heard of the Hundred Demons Team in the King of Glory esports scene."
"I just checked the national team rankings for the four major regions of King of Glory, and I couldn't find this team. I guess the Hundred Demons Team was a team that was somewhat famous before."
"There is an official account for the Hundred Demons Team on Douyin, but it has zero videos and a paltry two thousand followers."
"The most baffling thing is someone who posts a picture and gets trending without saying anything. Is the Hundred Demons Team something they made up out of thin air?"
" The Hundred Demons Team? I vaguely remember that the Three Champion Emperors was once a member of the Hundred Demons Team."
"Are there any veteran players out there who can explain this?"
The hundreds of thousands of netizens in the comment section were all confused, not knowing what the Hundred Demons Team was all about. Soon, the comment from netizen [King Over All Under Heaven] was pinned to the top of the comment section.
[ King Over All Under Heaven ]: Let me, a ten-year veteran player, answer this. The Hundred Demons Team was founded in 2015 by " Shura," the second person on the entire network to own Major National Badge. The team claims to have 100 core members.
[ King Over All Under Heaven ]: The Hundred Demons Team was once extremely popular, and there are three top-tier players who emerged from the Hundred Demons and are still active today!
The third player, " Hu Yinliang," was formerly the deputy captain of the Imperial Crown, Yin Tiger, and is currently the captain of Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest, Mountain Lord Jun, the Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, and a player of the Champion Emperor.
The second player, " Phoenix Fire," was formerly the vice-captain of the Imperial Crown team Herald of Dawn, and is currently the Phoenix the Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes, the Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, and a player of the Champion Emperor team.
The first player, " Zhuyin," was formerly Chen Dragon, the vice-captain of the Imperial Crown team, and is currently Silver Dragon of the Twilight of the Gods Team. He is Champion Emperor player.
Hundreds of thousands of netizens were stunned and shocked. They never expected there to be such a secret. The Three Champion Emperors did not originally come from the Imperial Crown, but from a team they had never heard of before.
"Wow, I've learned something new! So why did the Three Champion Emperors leave the Hundred Demons Team and join the Imperial Emperor's Imperial Crown Team created by the Emperor?"
[ King Over All Under Heaven ]: Good question.
Originally, the Three Champion Emperors wanted to join the Imperial Crown Team, but the Imperial Emperor was busy competing for the national championship and did not open the team application. So the Three Champion Emperors joined the Hundred Demons Team created by Shura, a player who was as famous as the Imperial Emperor.
When the Three Champion Emperors joined the Hundred Demons Team, they signed a contract that was tantamount to selling themselves into servitude. They realized they had been tricked, but they couldn't afford to pay the 1 billion RMB penalty for breach of contract.
With nowhere else to turn, the Three Champion Emperors sought help from Imperial Emperor, hoping he could intervene and help terminate the contract.
Imperial Emperor contacted Hundred Demons's vice-captain " Nurarihyon " and signed a betting agreement: if Emperor successfully defeats 100 of Hundred Demons's core members, Hundred Demons must unconditionally terminate the Three Champion Emperors's team contract.
If he fails to defeat the 100 core members of the Hundred Demons team, he will join Hundred Demons Hundred Demons Team and become its chief vice-captain.
The Imperial Emperor ultimately succeeded in his challenge. It is worth mentioning that in his battle against Shura, the captain of the Hundred Demons, he ended in a draw with nine wins and nine losses.
After this battle, Shura disappeared without a trace, the Hundred Demons Team disintegrated at lightning speed, existing in name only, and most of the core members transferred to the Imperial Crown Team.
Many netizens in the comments section suddenly realized what was going on.
"Holy crap! I finally know why the Hundred Demons Team suddenly trended on social media. Their captain, Shura, logged back in tonight and even played a Bronze ranked game! Can you believe it?"
"I checked Shura's profile. His highest-ranking hero is Ukyo Tachibana, the strongest in the national server with over 5000 points. He wouldn't even be able to get a regional title now."
"5000+ points is pretty awesome, bro. That was ten years ago. There was no Peak Tournament. You could only gain stars and hero power through ranked matches. Losing would even deduct hero power."
"That's right. Shura can go nine games against Imperial Emperor in a one-on-one match, which is enough to show that Shura is a King of Glory- level player on par with Imperial Emperor. But it's hard to say now, after all, Shura hasn't played King of Glory for ten years."
"Does Shura use alt accounts? Actually, he's been secretly honing his game skills on alt accounts for the past ten years."
"Unlikely. Shura's smurf account should be quite famous, but in today's King of Glory community, there aren't any particularly famous smurf account players."
Netizens are discussing it heatedly, but one question remains unanswered: why did Shura reappear after ten years? What is his purpose in returning?
" Hundred Demons Team?"
While soaking in the bathtub, Yin Long saw this news and was horrified, almost drowning. After struggling to get up, he was shocked by the next video, exclaiming, " The Shura has returned?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Yin Long hurriedly browsed the relevant information, and the more he read, the more he felt that there was an invisible hand behind the scenes helping to promote the topic of the Hundred Demons Team, which seemed to be creating momentum and popularity for the return of Shura.
"What is Shura up to?"
Yin Long was completely panicked. He had been Nurarihyon into joining the Hundred Demons team by Nurarihyon, the vice-captain of Hundred Demons Team, thinking he could make a name for himself in the gaming industry and impress his parents. Little did he know he had fallen into a den of iniquity.
They signed an unfair contract.
Fortunately, they begged the Imperial Emperor to intervene, which allowed them to terminate the tyrannical contract and escape the hellish place.
"We can't panic. Shura is an extremely trustworthy person." Yin Long forced himself to calm down, his mind racing. "Since he promised the Imperial Emperor to destroy the real photos of our Three Champion Emperors, he will definitely destroy them."
"But Nurarihyon, the vice-captain of Hundred Demons Yagyō, is a treacherous and cunning villain. He might copy something and save it for later."
"This is a huge problem."
Yin Long's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes showed unease.
Now that the Mountain Lord Phoenix has made consecutive appearances, they are naturally not afraid of the Hundred Demons Team releasing their past contract photos, but Silver Dragon has not yet made an appearance.
Once Hundred Demons releases his real photos of Silver Dragon across the entire internet, it will inevitably expose his hidden identity as Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, Long.
At that time, not only will the old captain Imperial Emperor, be furious, but even the Imperial Crown will launch a full-scale war, along with the Sovereign Dominion, to attack their Three Champion Emperors's team.
After all, before leaving Imperial Crown, the Three Champion Emperors swore an oath to Imperial Emperor that they would never join the same team again and would never repeat the foolish act of joining the Hundred Demons Team!
Otherwise, the Imperial Emperor will lead the Imperial Crown to "exterminate them Three Champion Emperors " until they and their teams are completely driven out of the King of Glory arena!
"The person I am ten years ago and the person I am ten years from now should be very different. Even if Hundred Demons were posted online, netizens definitely wouldn't recognize me!"
Yin Long harbored a glimmer of hope.
But when he found the photos from ten years ago, his heart sank completely. "Holy crap, how come this baby face hasn't changed at all? Did I spend the last ten years just growing taller and gaining weight?"
The resemblance between their appearance ten years ago and ten years later is 80%. Add to that the unique red birthmark on their face, and the resemblance reaches 90%. Even a fool could recognize them as the same person at a glance.
"I hope I'm just worrying unnecessarily."
I prefer playing alongside the new captain Exalted Emperor, in the King of Glory arena.
He would definitely take revenge on the Imperial Emperor Imperial Crown, but before that day officially arrived, he wanted to cherish the wonderful time he spent with everyone as the Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion!
"I hope the Hundred Demons won't publish my handsome photos all over the internet!"
