Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God Chapter 2918 - New World (Grand Finale)
Fire Dragon Empire, Million Forest City:
Currently, over 50 million expert players had gathered in Million Forest City, the largest city in the south of the Fire Dragon Empire. Even the weakest among these players was a Level 100-plus, Tier 3 player. The number of Tier 4 players gathered even exceeded 10,000. However, an indescribably solemn atmosphere shrouded Million Forest City, and everyone looked tense. This was because Million Forest City was the biggest barrier in the south.
If the Outerworld NPC army broke through here, it could march straight for Flame Dragon City. The executives of the various player forces had gathered on top of Million Forest City’s front wall. Their faces were pallid as they quietly observed the Outerworld NPC army hidden in the distant forest.
“These Outerworld NPCs are simply insane. They actually gathered one-third of their total forces just to attack Million Forest City. Are they planning to fight to the death?” Sixteenth Cloud, the Second Vice Guild Leader of Shining Tiger and an expert who had reached Tier 5, said, frowning as she observed the Outerworld’s NPC army through a Magic Mirror.
The Outerworld NPCs and players had a numerical advantage over God’s Domain’s NPCs and players in terms of Tier 4 combatants. Logically, they should’ve split up and attacked multiple locations, as this would bring them the most benefits.
The biggest advantage God’s Domain’s players had was their ability to get resurrected and rejoin the battle quickly. If the Outerworld forces split up and attacked numerous locations simultaneously, God’s Domain’s players would likewise have to split up and guard multiple locations. Moreover, God’s Domain’s players would have to guard more locations than what was necessary, to prevent ambushes. This would result in a huge waste of combat power.
Hence, if God’s Domain’s players could gather all their experts in one location and have an all-out battle, it naturally couldn’t be better for them. “Maybe they think their chances of victory are slim, so they plan to concentrate their forces to secure a decisive victory. After all, God’s Domain’s various kingdoms and empires are continuously sending their NPC armies to reinforce the Fire Dragon Empire.
The longer the war goes on, the better it would be for us. Perhaps they don’t wish to drag things out any longer,” Unyielding Soul’s Unyielding Heart, who had similarly reached Tier 5, said, smiling. During the past month of battles at the Fire Dragon Empire’s borders, the empire’s defenders had constantly been at a disadvantage. However, as time passed, the number of NPC armies gathered in the empire increased, gradually tipping the scales to the empire’s side.
Moreover, in this past month alone, over 100 players had reached Tier 5! Unyielding Heart had to admit that the War of Worlds was incredibly helpful to the development of players, especially during the defense of the Fire Dragon Empire. Although the Outerworld NPCs scattered across the eastern continent hadn’t fully gathered yet, the battles taking place at the Fire Dragon Empire’s borders had never once ceased.
Meanwhile, through constant battles with the Outerworld’s Tier 4 NPCs and players, God’s Domain’s Tier 4 players were able to improve their control and understanding of Mana rapidly and continuously. In comparison, before the War of Worlds, Tier 4 players would have difficulty finding another Tier 4 player to fight, let alone Tier 4 players who were at the Void Realm standard or above.
At one point, Unyielding Heart even wished that the War of Worlds would last a little longer. “Let’s hope I’m just overthinking things,” Sixteenth Cloud said, nodding. Truthfully, an all-out fight was something she hoped to see the most. This was because there were currently more than 80 Tier 5 players gathered in Million City Forest, not to mention over a hundred Flame Beast Puppets and eight Blue Thunder Flying Ships. Every one of these war weapons created by Zero Wing possessed combat power at the Tier 5 standard.
Including the Tier 5 NPCs, there were close to 300 Tier 5 combatants stationed in Million Forest City.
Meanwhile, according to their investigations, the Outerworld army stationed outside Million Forest City only had around 400 Tier 5 combatants in total. The difference wasn’t particularly significant. Even if they traded two-for-one with the Outerworld army, they would still end up winning the war since they could be resurrected and rejoin the battle almost immediately.
In reality, Sixteenth Cloud and Unyielding Heart weren’t the only Tier 5 experts entertaining such thoughts. The Tier 5 experts of the other player forces present were also confident of victory in the upcoming battle. And so long as they won this battle, the Outerworld’s NPC army would have difficulty causing problems in the future. Some time later, when the number of players gathered in Million Forest City reached 70 million, a gigantic island suddenly appeared above the city, instantly triggering an uproar among the city’s players and NPCs. “Crap! Zero Wing! That is Zero Wing’s Mobile Fortress!”
“Isn’t Zero Wing’s Mobile Fortress stationed beside the Secret Covenant Tower?”.
“Wait! This isn’t the same one! I’ve seen the one stationed at the Secret Covenant Tower, and that one only has two barriers protecting it! This one has three! Zero Wing must’ve constructed a new Mobile Fortress!”
“Amazing! Zero Wing truly is God’s Domain’s number one Guild! With this, those Outerworld NPCs and players are finished!”
The Mobile Fortress that just appeared above Million Forest City was something basically everyone in God’s Domain knew about. This was because the Mobile Fortress had allowed Zero Wing to establish its position in God’s Domain.
Now that there was also a Mobile Fortress protecting Million Forest City, how could everyone not get excited?
Amid the excited cheers of Million Forest City’s players, 16 players flew out of the Mobile Fortress. Upon seeing these 16 players, the players in the city grew even more excited. Even the city’s Tier 5 commander and Tier 5 NPCs took the initiative to receive these 16 players. These 16 people were none other than Gentle Snow, Aqua Rose, Fire Dance, Violet Cloud, Yan Tianxing, Yi Luofei, Silent Blade, Alluring Summer, Cold Shadow, Crimson Mask, Ji Luorong, Lifeless Thorn, Blue Frost, Zhao Yueru, White Feather, and Invincible Swallow.
“Crap! All of Zero Wing’s top experts are here!”
“Even a Demigod NPC has gone to welcome them! What’s going on here?” “I heard that the War God’s Temple recently added Zero Wing’s Vice Guild Leaders Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose to the Ten Saints. The two of them are even stronger than the NPC ranked fifth in the Ten Saints. Those ranked within the top five of the Ten Saints are supposedly close to rivaling Tier 6 existences, while those in the top three are basically Tier 6 Gods in disguise.” “Zero Wing is truly a den of monsters. I heard that three of the Five Great Super Guilds’ old monsters joined the Ten Saints only recently. Yet, Zero Wing actually has two people in the Ten Saints now. Moreover, both are ranked within the top five.” “I wonder when I’ll be able to join the Ten Saints? If I can get into the Ten Saints, I can die with no regrets.”
For a time, Zero Wing’s members became the focal point of the entire Fire Dragon Empire. This was especially true for the players who had recently started playing God’s Domain and were watching the live broadcast of Million Forest City’s situation. When they looked at Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose, their eyes shone with ambition. They all wished they could become as strong and famous as these two women.
Currently, Tier 5 NPCs were still existences to be feared for the various player forces, and even the king of a kingdom had a difficult time meeting a Tier 5 NPC. Yet, these powerful Tier 5 NPCs were behaving respectfully toward Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose. This situation was simply unbelievable. However, of the players in the Fire Dragon Empire, only the superpowers’ experts truly understood what it meant to be a member of the Ten Saints. The Ten Saints were existences standing at the very apex of God’s Domain.
Although Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose were Tier 5 players, just like the superpowers’ Tier 5 experts, the difference between the two sides was like heaven and earth. Killing ordinary Tier 5 players was child’s play for these two women.
Meanwhile, when the Star Alliance’s Galaxy Past and Purple Eye, who stood among the many players in Million Forest City, saw Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose, complex emotions appeared on their faces. Back when Zero Wing’s operations were still confined to Star-Moon Kingdom, the two of them had treated Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose as their rivals. Now, although Galaxy Past and Purple Eye had gotten promoted to Tier 4 and were even top-tier among Tier 4 experts, they were merely a part of the crowd gathered in Million Forest City. In contrast, Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose already stood at the apex of God’s Domain.
They were now existences that countless players looked up to, and even Tier 5 NPCs and the Five Great Super Guilds’ old monsters had to be wary of them. Galaxy Past and Purple Eye weren’t alone in their feelings. Matt and Prosciutto from Mythology shared their complicated mood. When Fang Shihan had decided to betray Mythology and join Zero Wing, she had invited Matt to join her. However, Matt had refused her offer, believing he could develop much more rapidly in Mythology. Yet, reality turned out to be completely different. Matt was still stuck at Tier 4. In comparison, White Feather, who had joined Fang Shihan, had already reached Tier 5 and become an existence he had to look up to.
As for Prosciutto, he was confused by Fang Shihan’s rapid improvement.
In terms of talent, he was much superior to Fang Shihan. Although he had also gotten promoted to Tier 5, there had been a huge difference between them when they were both still at Tier 4. However, his Tier 4 Mana Body’s Completion Rate had only been at 118% when he had gotten promoted to Tier 5. Meanwhile, according to Mythology’s investigation, Fang Shihan had gotten promoted to Tier 5 with her Tier 4 Mana Body’s Completion Rate at 120%.
Moreover, Odin had said that Fang Shihan was even under consideration as a reserve member for the Ten Saints and that it wouldn’t be strange if she managed to defeat one of the Ten Saints in the near future. Her strength already approached that of Demigod NPCs. In comparison, Prosciutto’s combat power was only at the Tier 5 Peak standard, still nowhere near the Demigod standard. While Prosciutto was in a daze, Zero Wing’s members had arrived above Million Forest City’s gate.
“You guys are finally here,” Unyielding Heart said, smiling at Zero Wing’s members. “With you here, it’s even less likely for the Outerworld forces to take down Million Forest City.” Even the weakest of Zero Wing’s 16 Tier 5 experts present had combat power at the Tier 5 Peak standard. Meanwhile, Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose could take on 10 to 15 ordinary Tier 5 combatants by themselves. Their participation in Million Forest City’s defense had narrowed the gap in Tier 5 combatants between the two sides significantly.
“What’s our current situation?” Gentle Snow asked.
At Gentle Snow’s question, Aqua Rose and the others turned to look at Unyielding Heart.
During these past few days, they had been fully focused on raiding a primordial ruin in the Top of the World, so they weren’t up to date on the Fire Dragon Empire’s situation. Only after receiving the Secret Pavilion’s notification did they rush over with the newly constructed Mobile Fortress.
“While I can’t say it’s good, we definitely have a fighting chance,” Unyielding Heart said. He then took out a Memory Crystal and displayed the information recorded in it. “According to our latest investigations, the Outerworld’s NPC army has over 130 million Tier 3 NPCs, around 150,000 Tier 4 NPCs, and over 200 Tier 4 NPCs. As for the player army, there are close to 200 million Tier 3 players, over 50,000 Tier 4 players, and over 100 Tier 5 players.”
Upon hearing Unyielding Heart’s words, many of the Tier 4 experts nearby felt suffocated.
Setting aside the Tier 3 players, the difference in Tier 4 players between the two sides was simply massive. Even now, Million Forest City only had around 15,000 Tier 4 players gathered. In comparison, the other side had over 50,000. If Million Forest City’s defensive magic array shattered, there was a high chance that some of these Outerworld Tier 4 players would sneak past the city’s defenders and reach the City Lord’s Mansion. That would spell the end for the city. After all, the City Lord’s Mansion’s defensive magic array wasn’t as strong as the city’s.
The only fortunate matter was that there wasn’t a significant difference in Tier 5 combatants between the two sides. With the help of the city’s magic arrays, they might be able to repel the Outerworld forces.
“It seems the Outerworld forces are intent on winning this battle, no matter what.” Aqua Rose was slightly astonished when she heard Unyielding Heart’s report, and she turned reflexively toward the distant forest.
An army of such size and power was more than capable of destroying an empire. “Isn’t that just perfect? If we can get rid of this army, dealing with the follow-up will become much easier,” Fire Dance said, fighting spirit burning in her eyes.
They had suffered a miserable defeat in the battle in Blackwing City. However, her strength had undergone an earth-shattering transformation during the past month. Apart from touching upon the entry level of utilizing a World Law, she had also acquired two pieces of Legendary Equipment. Including her Legendary Weapon, she now had three Legendary items.
She was confident she could now put up a fight against a Fallen Archangel. None of Zero Wing’s members refuted Fire Dance’s words, either. With Shi Feng’s guidance, they had improved their equipment standard significantly during this past month. Although they didn’t gain any additional Legendary Weapons, they did acquire quite a few pieces of Legendary Equipment. Moreover, even the weakest piece of equipment on them now was Fragmented Legendary Equipment. In equipment standards, they were in no way inferior to Tier 5 NPCs.
Among their group of 16, Gentle Snow, Aqua Rose, and Violet Cloud were the luckiest, having each acquired a complete set of Fragmented Legendary Set Equipment. In terms of Basic Attributes, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they rivaled Tier 6 players. However, just when everyone was thinking about how to cope with the Outerworld army’s offensive, the Outerworld army hidden within the distant forest suddenly moved.
Boom!
Accompanied by a thundering noise, heavy clouds suddenly appeared over the forest, bringing darkness to the area. The sky then split apart, and two giant claws several hundred meters long descended from the massive tear in space. A short moment later, a monster several dozen kilometers tall emerged from the dark void. It had a gigantic mouth and hundreds of eyes and claws. The monster also exuded a turbid mist that corroded the surrounding space, causing it to disintegrate. The sight of this monster shocked the people in Million Forest City and the Outerworld army. “So, this is the World Eater of legends?”
Hundred Ghosts’s Elder Windshadow, who stood in the forest outside Million Forest City, couldn’t help doubting his eyes as he looked at the big-mouthed monster before him.
The World Eater was a monster recorded in legends, and he had only found out about its existence after stumbling across a record of it.
The World Eater was born in the endless void, and its sole purpose in life was to devour worlds. In front of a World Eater, even the Dragon race, God’s Domain’s strongest race, was nothing. Even a Tier 4 Infant World Eater could devour a Tier 5 Dragon. Meanwhile, the World Eater in front of him was an adult. At its current strength, even Tier 6 Gods would have to avoid confronting it.
When Awakened Abyss, who had already reached Tier 5, saw the behemoth in the sky, excitement filled his eyes as he exclaimed, “Amazing! We’re sure to win now!”
(World Eater) (Chaos Beast, Legendary)
Level 210
3,000,000,000,000
Similar to Awakened Abyss, the other Outerworld players present also grew excited when they saw the World Eater.
However, when Fire Dance and the others in Million Forest City saw the World Eater, a grim expression appeared on their faces. Although they didn’t know what a World Eater was, they could still tell what a terrifying existence it was just by looking at its three trillion HP.
After all, the average Level 200 Legendary monster only had around 300 billion HP, and even a Tier 5 Fallen Archangel only had 900 billion HP. Yet, the World Eater had more than three times that amount.
“Activate the defensive magic array! All Magic Cannon Towers prepare to fire! Victory for the Fire Dragon Empire!” Mecabod, a Level 200 Demigod NPC and the commander of Million Forest City’s army, ordered when he saw the World Eater starting to make its way toward the city.
A total of four magic barriers promptly appeared over Million Forest City, the barriers stabilizing the space within a 10,000-yard radius of the city. The barriers also created a separate world within them, isolating Million Forest City from the outside world and preventing the World Eater’s powerful mental oppression from spreading into the city.
“Miniature World!”
After seeing the city’s defensive magic array activating, Aqua Rose used the Ring of Gospel that Shi Feng had passed to her. During their exploration of the primordial ruin in the Top of the World, they had managed to upgrade the Ring of Gospel to the Legendary rank. Now, the ring could call down a complete miniature world, and its suppression effect was only slightly inferior to the World Mirror’s.
Although each activation of Miniature World now cost 5,000 Mana Stones, instead of just 5,000 Magic Crystals, the Skill’s duration had increased from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. The Skill’s AOE had also expanded to 50,000 yards, and even Tier 5 players wouldn’t be able to make use of the ambient Mana within the affected area. Moreover, all hostile units below Tier 6 would be subjected to a 30% reduction in Basic Attributes and physique, while Tier 6 enemies would be subjected to a 15% reduction.
After Miniatur
