Damn It, He Actually Ended Up in Our Group

When it comes to choosing which bosses to field, Xiao Yu doesn't have many options. Besides himself, Ragnaros is definitely going to appear, and the Hydra demigod Sgelari can't be left out either. After that, he doesn't have many other powerful bosses at his disposal: Lady Xiwadelin - a 3-skeletal-level Naga Tidecaller, Leah Bloodmoon - a 3-skeletal-level Great Elementalist, Big Water Cunt - a 4-skeletal-level Water Elemental Lord, Amalarui - a 3-skeletal-level Resurrected Flame Soul.

These four were used as substitutes.

This way, we'll have both starters and substitutes.

Next, all that's left is to wait patiently.

By evening, Ma Xiaoyun's reply had arrived.

The message was short, just one sentence. "[Don't worry about Medivh, our boss has already taken care of everything.]"

Whether it was true or not, Xiao Yu didn't care anymore; he was essentially a very easygoing person.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, April 1st has arrived. On this day, the game company released more than a dozen promotional videos, including all the top contenders.

Each promotional video introduces the story of a BOSS or the origin of a monster force, and they are all made to look like blockbuster movies, very professionally, giving the impression that the game company is about to release a dozen expansion packs all at once.

Of course, in reality, there is only one expansion pack.

The gaming forums immediately became lively after seeing these promotional videos.

People browsed the promotional video, commented, and debated. Fan groups for various bosses began to appear on the forum, especially for Dynamic Angels. They were already a popular idol group, and now that the promotional video was released, their popularity skyrocketed. Dynamic Angels' promotional video didn't involve any tragic scenes, didn't use any provocation, and didn't even have a specific story background.

It all started with the seven angels making their appearance, striking various poses, and announcing the impending Heavenly Punishment, which then went viral.

The second-ranked character was Naiser. Xiao Yu saw Naiser's appearance for the first time in this promotional video. Naiser wasn't wearing any extravagant armor; he was simply wearing a close-fitting black dragon leather armor, with a black cloak draped over his back. He wasn't wearing a helmet, and his long black hair was loose down his back. His eyes were incredibly alluring, described in romance novels as both cold and wicked. Naiser's weapon was a two-handed greatsword—but he wielded it with only one hand.

Naiser wielded his greatsword, charging in and out of the demon army seven times, finally beheading a member of the demon army. He didn't utter a single line of dialogue, yet he successfully triggered the G-spot of female players, propelling the character to second place in popularity.

The promotional video for Azathoth, Elemental King, was also very popular. Although it couldn't compare to the Dynamic Angels and the Long Aotian Naiser, it still managed to secure third place. The Dragon Covenant ranked fourth, a monster force composed of the Dragon Clan. Prince Spencer ranked fifth. The sympathy card really worked. Poor Abbas, although ranked second in strength, was ranked in the twentieths in popularity. It seems that in this era, looks still matter.

Meanwhile, the official website for the Demon King Tournament was launched, and with the registration deadline approaching, the preliminary rounds of the Demon King Tournament also began.

There are thousands of BOSS and monster factions that have registered for this Demon King Tournament, and more than a thousand of them have passed the review. There are three criteria for participating in the Demon King Tournament.

First, if you register to participate in the Strongest Demon King Competition, the BOSS or the monster faction must have at least one BOSS of the Skeleton level or above.

Secondly, if you want to participate in the Demon King Team Competition, you must have at least one Skeleton-level BOSS and four other BOSSes in your team.

Third, if you want to participate in the Evil Forces Competition, your monster force must have at least 1,000 monsters, at least three BOSS-level monsters, and at least one of the BOSS-level monsters must be a skeleton-level BOSS.

Those who meet the above criteria can participate in the preliminary rounds.

Due to the large number of participants, the preliminary rounds were also dragged out for a long time, lasting a full half-month, before the top 32 teams in each group were determined.

With nothing else to do, Xiao Yu naturally watched a few matches. To his relief, he found that while the competitors were quite strong, they were clearly several levels below him. They were not only inferior to him, but even compared to the Big Water Cunt under his command, they were generally not as good.

Usually, it's just one skeleton-level boss with a few henchmen or friends participating. There are also teams of several skeleton-level bosses participating, but the skeletons' levels aren't very high.

This situation continued into the second week, at which point, as many contestants were eliminated, the level of the bosses began to rise steadily.

Half a month later, the top 32 teams in the three groups, totaling 96 teams, were finally determined. By this time, the BOSSes were already very strong. The BOSSes that made it into the final top 32 were generally at least at the level of three or four skeletons.

Even the weakest boss in the Strongest Demon King Competition is at least five skeleton level.

These past few days have broadened Xiao Yu's horizons. He never expected that there would be so many monster forces and so many powerful BOSSes in the Sky World.

However, it also gave him some confidence. With his strength, he might not Invincible, but he could at least crush most opponents.

Three days after the qualifiers ended, the list of participants was distributed to each of the participating BOSS players.

Xiao Yu immediately started looking at the list after receiving it.

He didn't care too much about the rosters for the Strongest Demon King Competition and the Demon King Team Competition; he was most concerned about the rosters for the Evil Forces Competition, and he was mainly focused on the top twenty Demon Kings on the leaderboard.

The first thing he noticed was the Light of Heavenly Punishment, a monster force composed of seven beautiful girls from the Dynamic Angels idol group.

[Light of Heavenly Punishment (Celestial Realm Vanguard)]

[Monster Faction Rating: Extremely Powerful]

[Monster Faction Leader: Anya (Six-Winged Seraph)]

[Monster Faction Main City: God-Demon Fortress.]

[Monster faction population: 79857]

[Description of the Monster Faction: A force composed of fanatical Celestial Realm inhabitants, seeking to purify the world of evil and bring eternal peace. The Light of Heavenly Punishment is prepared to use its Holy Light to cleanse all evil from the world. To ensure that evil never resurfaces, the angels of the Light of Heavenly Punishment will also eradicate all fertile ground that could give rise to evil, restoring the world to a pure land. It is with this ideal that the Celestial Realm army, led by the six-winged seraphim Anya, is about to descend upon this world.]

[Main members of the faction: Alice, Angel of Punishment, Angel, Angel of Judgment, Angel of Odina, Angel of Destruction, Xilin, Angel of Redemption, Isabella, Angel of Light, Keleiqi, Angel of Death, Anya, Angel of Domination, Archangel Tairuibao]

Xiao Yu wasn't surprised that the Light of Heavenly Punishment would enter the Evil Forces Competition. The Light of Heavenly Punishment was an organization founded by the Dynamic Angels, and while these young female stars were undoubtedly skilled at singing and dancing, they were far from proficient at gaming. Even the best player among them, Keleiqi, Angel of Death, was only ranked tenth on the Demon King Ranking, and that was with the help of enormous resources. It was easy to imagine that if they participated in the Strongest Demon King Competition and the Demon King Team Competition, these angel girls would definitely suffer a terrible fate.

However, the Monster Force Tournament is different. This tournament allows players to bring their own troops to fight. With so many fans, there are bound to be many skilled players among them. They can easily field a force of a thousand people. The concept of a thousand-person player army versus an NPC army is completely different.

Xiao Yu continued reading, and the second monster organization that caught his attention was the Dragon Covenant.

[Dragon Covenant (Dragon Domain Allied Forces)]

[Monster Faction Rating: Extremely Powerful]

[Monster Faction Leader: Sirod (Ancient Black Dragon)]

[Monster Faction's Main City: Wyrmrest Temple]

[Monster faction population: 17261]

[Description of the Monster Faction: The Dragon Covenant, a loose alliance formed by various Dragon Clan, is a powerful force of nature. To combat any enemies or adventurers who dare to covet their wealth, the noble Dragon Clan have had to set aside past conflicts. The five-colored Dragon Clan, the metal Dragon Clan, and the hybrid Dragon Clan have united once more, using the Wyrmrest Temple as their base, and continuously expanding their influence. After absorbing a large number of different Dragon Clan, this alliance is now unimaginably powerful.]

[Main members of the faction: Ancient Black Dragon Sirod, Ancient Red Dragon Dumas the Elder (one of the consorts of the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza), Ancient Bronze Dragon Little Dingdang, Ancient Blue Dragon Aolanduer, Ancient Fairy Dragon Beatrice]

While the leader of this Dragon Covenant isn't exceptionally powerful, the average strength of its main members is quite high. The ancient red dragon Dumas the Elder, the ancient bronze dragon Little Dingdang, the ancient blue dragon Oulanduer, and the ancient fairy dragon Beatrice all have a template rank of at least Seven Skulls. After all, Dragon Clan are a superior race, and once they develop, they can easily create powerful bosses.

He continued reading, and most of the names were Wuming, so there was no need to worry. But when he got to the last one, Xiao Yu's eyelids suddenly twitched. Damn it, what I was afraid of had come true. At the end of the list, it was written: Purgatory Legion, leader of the monster forces - Naiser (King of Purgatory).

[Purgatory Legion (Burning Legion Branch)]

[Monster Faction Rating: Invincible]

[Monster Faction Leader: Naiser (King of Purgatory)]

[Monster Faction's Main City: City of Sin.]

[Monster faction population: 473,127]

[Description of the Monster Faction: The Purgatory Legion has always been an important part of the Burning Legion. Purgatory Legion members all hail from the lowest level of the Abyssal Plane — the Nine Layers of Purgatory. The demons here are far more powerful and evil than their counterparts on higher planes, and far more difficult to control. Only the most powerful demons can control and command them. The Purgatory Legion has always played a leading role in the Burning Legion's various expeditions. Now, without Sargeras's restraint, their destructive behavior has become increasingly unrestrained. Until the Legendary half-demon Naiser appeared, who, upon his arrival, killed the former King of Purgatory. Pure bloodshed and violent suppression forced the Purgatory Legion to submit to Naiser. Now, under Naiser's command, this terrifying demonic army is about to appear in the Sky World.]
