The Founding of the World Destruction Legion

As Sage of Wisdom, Alodi's inner benefit was his knowledge.

Unfortunately, Alodi wasn't as easy to talk to as he initially seemed.

Alodi remained steadfast in his principles regarding Xiao Yu's desire to ask questions.

"Everything can only begin once you release me from the Prison of the Gods. There must have been a reason why I said that in the first place," Alodi said solemnly.

Alodi's answer disappointed Xiao Yu, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After the time for exchanging feelings came to an end, the Council of Sages began a new round of actions.

Naiser, Ner'zhul, Kairoz, Merlin went together to collect Y'Shaarj's blood, while Xiao Yu set off with Medivh and Shen Yuan. Their target was the monster forces that had already been pre-selected.

Over the past few years, Shen Yuan has been meticulously planning and has established connections with many monster factions, even controlling the leaders of several. Coupled with the Elemental King's the Destroyer buff, he possesses a natural aura of oppression when facing other monster factions. Furthermore, through Medivh's subtle manipulation and a combination of coercion and enticement, five or six monster factions were quickly subdued by the Elemental King, including the Blackrock Orcs, Dark Iron Dwarves, Dragonmaw Orcs, Scarlet Monastery, and Blood Elf of Tempest Keep. However, this still falls short of the expected dozen or so races.

In fact, Shen Yuan controlled far more monster forces than these, but many of the other monster forces he controlled were non-human creatures. For Xiao Yu, who wanted to establish a third faction, they were not suitable to be brought in. Even if they were brought in, they could not be used as the main propaganda.

You can't exactly advertise that our faction lets you choose from cats, dogs, tentacle monsters, and slimes, right? That would be completely unappealing to players who want to play as adventurers.

Fortunately, they quickly came up with a solution.

The races they lacked could all be found within a certain power.

The first faction is the Twilight's Hammer, Twilight's Hammer mastermind is the Old Gods. This monstrous faction is composed of many different races. Due to the Old Gods's powerful mental control, different races can be seduced into becoming his subordinates. Therefore, the members of the Twilight's Hammer are very complex, a veritable hodgepodge of races.

However, after a little research, Xiao Yu found that this force was not suitable for him to subdue. Firstly, although the Twilight's Hammer had many races, the differences between them were very small. For example, the Twilight Priest class was the same regardless of whether one was a dwarf, human, Orcs, or elf.

The available class advancements in Twilight's Hammer are very limited, consisting of only a few classes such as Twilight Priest, Twilight Mage, and Twilight Dragon Raider, which is far too monotonous.

Furthermore, the mastermind behind Twilight's Hammer is the Old Gods, theoretically the strongest boss in the game, so they don't really care about the Elemental King.

Therefore, Xiao Yu set his sights on his second target, which had some connection to him before: the Destroyers' Alliance.

The Destroyers' Alliance is a massive alliance of player-monster forces initiated and established by Abbas the Devourer. The alliance's purpose is simple: to cause trouble for the game company and attempt to disrupt the smooth operation of the expansion pack.

Abbas's reasoning was quite sound. He believed that there was something fishy about the final match of the Strongest Demon King Competition Tournament. In his opinion, Elena Sunstrider, a Blood Elf, was definitely no match for him. It was just that the map he drew was too advantageous, and the map was likely the result of the game company's Blackhand.

So he decided to go all out and sabotage the expansion pack by going against the game company.

Other bosses who joined the Destroyers' Alliance felt their rights had been violated, while others were genuinely defeated fairly and didn't even receive a nomination award. However, in games, no one feels inferior. Since the game company had shown signs of foul play, they assumed they had been cheated as well, so they simply joined one by one, resulting in the Destroyers' Alliance's unprecedented power.

Only a minority of people can win awards and be shortlisted; most people don't gain anything.

The Destroyers' Alliance was not a tightly knit organization because there were too many members, and people were constantly joining and leaving. It was easy to find out what was going on inside by some of the peripheral members, including the location of their meetings. So when they held another meeting, all three of them showed up there at the same time.

Upon seeing Azathoth, Elemental King, appear, the bosses were both shocked and enraged. They were shocked because the Elemental King, as the final boss of the expansion, undoubtedly possessed formidable power. They had previously clashed with the Destroyers' Alliance, all ending in a complete victory for the Elemental King. Was his appearance here a sign that he intended to wipe them all out?

What's infuriating is that with so many of us bosses present, you dared to come looking for trouble all by yourself? That's incredibly arrogant!

"What are you doing here? Are you perhaps here to work for the game company and wipe us out? Hmph, let me warn you, even if you are the Destroyer, with so many bosses here, we're not afraid of you if we want to fight!"

There were seven or eight ancient dragons present, along with hundreds of lords, demon kings, and other powerful beings.

Just looking at the scene, it was truly quite frightening.

Especially that giant maggot, hundreds of meters long, it was terrifying to look at.

"Azathoth, what are you doing here?" Abbas asked in its deep, resonant voice.

"Looks like you're a bit behind on the times. I've already terminated my contract with the company," Xiao Yu replied without changing his expression.

"What?"

Upon hearing the Elemental King's answer, all the bosses were stunned. In their eyes, becoming the final boss of the expansion, receiving the game company's support, and gaining a bunch of endorsements was an incredible opportunity. In the end, the people present didn't have any complaints about the game company, but rather about not being valued by the game company. If the game company said, "I'll sign you up, so you can work for me," more than half of them would immediately switch sides.

The Elemental King actually terminated his contract with the game company? Has he lost his mind?

The Elemental King suddenly transformed into Chaos Dragon so that everyone could see him, and then he said, "Those people at the game company don't know how to run a game well at all. Players pursue freedom and want to write their own epics and Legendary, but the game company wants to control everything in their own hands, using pre-set garbage scripts to advance the plot and make us their lackeys. This is simply wishful thinking."

The Demon King Tournament is a joke. Look at everyone here; you are all world-renowned powerhouses. Which one of you doesn't have the ability to destroy cities and countries? But just because you're not good-looking enough, you didn't even get a qualifying prize.

On the other hand, those so-called "Light of Heavenly Punishment," "Phoenix Woman," "Moon Goddess Ranger," and "Hell Band"—none of them have any real fighting ability. Just because they're pretty and know how to act cute, seductive, and gay, they all act all high and mighty. I really feel sorry for them being played by such people."

These words resonated with everyone present. In reality, compared to the shortlisted and winning bosses, none of the participants had an absolute advantage, nor were they at an absolute disadvantage. They were all roughly equal. But that's how people are. If it were a truly fair and just competition, they might not say anything. However, once the fairness of the competition is questioned, they naturally feel cheated, even if they weren't being targeted.

So upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, all the bosses nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yu continued, "That's why I had a falling out with the game company. And I'm going to go all the way and sabotage the game company's expansion packs. Just destroying those monster forces isn't enough; the game company can recruit more monster forces at any time. To put it bluntly, if the game company offered you all a contract now, would any of you refuse?"

As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to say anything more. No one dared to confidently declare that they didn't care about the game company's finances.

"So I came up with a better idea: we need to create a third faction to attract a large number of players. You see, a single race of monsters isn't very attractive to players, and their combat power isn't strong either. They simply can't compete with adventurers who have multiple classes. But if we can unite and create a new faction with a dozen or even dozens of races, players will definitely be eager to join."

While some players enjoy playing as monsters, birds and beasts, or even some rather bizarre creatures, most players still prefer playing as humanoid beings. This is because humanoid beings are more in line with human aesthetics and are easier to control, which is why adventurer players have always been the mainstream.

My idea for this third faction is to create a large Alliance composed of humanoid creatures. Players like to play as elves, right? They have Night Elf and Blood Elf, but that's only two.

But we're different. We not only have Night Elf and Blood Elf, but also Fel Elves, Dark Elves, Fallen Elves—we have a whole host of races to choose from.

Moreover, we have a variety of unique classes, such as the Dragon Raider who can ride dragons into battle, the Undead who can summon Undead, and the Ghost Knight who is immune to all physical damage. If we unite, we will be much more fun than the monotonous classes of the Alliance Horde.

We can easily attract all the players to our side, and as we all know, the more players there are, the greater the profits. If our third faction has millions of players, then the profits involved are self-evident.

Of course, this doesn't mean we don't need anything other than humanoid beings. We are inclusive and tolerant; it just means that nothing is as important as humanoid beings.

This third faction will be called the World Destruction Legion. I will establish a World Destruction Company to operate this organization. Those who are willing to join now can receive shares in the World Destruction Company and become directors. Those who join later will not have this benefit.

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, the crowd immediately began to discuss among themselves.

Although the Destroyers' Alliance has a lot of influence, it hasn't really accomplished anything lately. Despite fighting many battles, it hasn't gained any benefits. Now that they hear about this big deal, they're all tempted, but no one is willing to take the lead.

"Your idea is good. Count me in. Although I don't have many humanoid creatures under my command, when it comes to fighting ability, I'm definitely number one."

Surprisingly, the first person to want to join was Abbas, the founder of the Destroyers' Alliance.

Actually, Shen Yuan had previously revealed to Xiao Yu that Abbas was someone he had secretly recruited. The Destroyers' Alliance was established by Abbas at Shen Yuan's behest.

Now that even the founders were surrendering, the remaining people naturally stopped being reserved and quickly joined the World Destruction Legion.

In that case, it's completely finished.

Three days later, the third faction's promotional video was released online.

Xiao Yu gave this third faction a rather chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) name: the World Destruction Legion, with the goal of destroying the world.

Encompassing over a dozen races, hundreds of advanced class branches, and dozens of unique exclusive classes, the promotional video for the Third Faction immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players. Many people were tired of playing as adventurers and didn't like being tortured as monsters. Now they could play as monsters who could torture others, and most importantly, it didn't cost any money—at least not before advancing. Instantly, countless players flocked to the World Destruction Legion's spawn point.

Xiao Yu established the spawn point of the World Destruction Legion within the Elemental Plane, thus providing players with numerous wild creatures from the Elemental Plane to level up with.

It's also easy for them to get to the Prime Material Plane. Medivh helped Xiao Yu build more than a dozen portals in the Elemental Plane, which can be opened at any time to go to the Prime Material Plane.

Moreover, they also have many supply points on the Prime Material Plane. Due to the previous Elemental Tide, there are gathering places of elemental creatures everywhere on the Prime Material Plane. These elemental creatures are allies with the World Destruction Legion, so they not only do not attack them, but also provide them with various services. There are even several main cities, such as Molten Core and the Oras Great Graveyard. These large-scale raid dungeons have now become cities of the World Destruction Legion.

All players who choose the World Destruction Legion monsters will receive the [World Destroyer's Servant] buff, making them just as powerful as regular rare elites. In addition, they can team up with hundreds of different classes, and monsters from different systems can now fight together, resulting in all sorts of strange combinations of monsters' bizarre abilities.

In particular, many of these players have played the Adventurer class and are very familiar with its skills, while most Adventurers have no idea about the abilities of these monsters, making their battles much less effective.

Therefore, the combat power of the player teams in the World Destruction Legion is almost on par with that of the adventurer teams.

However, this only strengthened the game company's resolve to eliminate the Elemental King.
