Chapter 1585: In Deep Trouble

After picking all the items up, Wang Yu stood up in frustration.

“Honglong!!”

Just as Wang Yu was about to walk down, God’s Tower suddenly began shaking.

“An earthquake???”

Feeling the ground below him quaver, Wang Yu was shocked. He hurriedly stuck to the walls. With the violent trembling, the roof’s tiles began falling together with dust.

“F*ck, what’s going on now?!”

When Wang Yu was having a massive battle with old man Luke, God’s Tower was circled with various sects, forming three entire circles.

When everyone saw how the long-established God’s Tower begin to quiver, they were stunned.

F*ck, what happened in there? Who’s causing the entire God’s Tower to shake like that…

…

In reality, using the background story, God’s Tower was supported by God of Light’s divinity. Now that God of Light had fallen, it signified that the God of Light’s Divine Light was taken. Naturally, the tower lost the Divine Light’s protection.

Without the Divine Light’s protection, this tower was nothing more than a façade made of tofu.

Bam, bam, bam!!

God’s Tower began trembling even more violently. It was swaying dangerously at this point.

Within a few moments of breath, God’s Tower crumbled to the ground.

Thankfully, this happened in-game. Even though God’s Tower was so tall that it pierced through the clouds, crumbling was nothing more than a CG effect. It didn’t cause any human deaths. Instead, it kicked up a huge dust cloud.

The dust cloud faded as the God’s Tower that was as tall as the clouds turned into a brick’s wasteland.

“Dang!”

A strange sound resounded as a sturdy elbow stuck out from the ruins. Soon after, a powerful body stood atop the ruins.

At the same time, a system notification appeared in the sky.

<System notification: The symbol of God’s Glory, Divine Light, has been stolen by a thief. As the God’s descendants, Starry Sky City Players are tasked with defending God’s dignity and are to obtain the Divine Light.>

The system notification appeared three times. Starry Sky City’s players lost all colour in their face when they saw the announcement.

The Divine Light was the core of Starry Sky City. It symbolised the God of Light too as the essential item in Starry Sky City.

If someone stole this item, it would just mean losing the dignity of their protective God to the NPCs. For the City Lord, it signified a demotion and punishment.

Typically speaking, if a City Lord were demoted, the players wouldn’t be in a good state either. They’d drop levels, fame, and status. Those weren’t that important. However, if they lost skills and equipment because of that, that’d be the worst-case scenario.

That was why this Divine Light was much more precious than the City Lord’s Seal.

At first, everyone only wanted to keep Wang Yu around to watch his skills. Even if they couldn’t capture him, they wouldn’t make any losses.

However, now that Wang Yu stole the Divine Light from God’s Tower, this was a vast matter.

Capturing Wang Yu would ensure Starry Sky City’s safety. On top of that, the players could find the Divine Light and obtain rewards from the system.

If they couldn’t capture Wang Yu, everyone would suffer a loss. Benefits didn’t direct their course of action. Instead, they couldn’t avoid this…

Without the great sects having to speak a word, the moment they saw Wang Yu walk out with the Quest Target sign above him, everyone charged at him simultaneously.

Golden Sun Blossom yelled, “Don’t let him out of your sights; he can fly!”

With that, Golden Sun Blossom backed off a single step, hiding behind Blossoming Moon.

It was evident that this brat had trauma from being captured by Wang Yu before. Since his weapon was seized, he was afraid of even getting close to him.

“Fly?”

When they heard Golden Sun Blossom’s words, the leaders’ hearts tightened. They sent out orders, “Long-ranged job, unleash your attacks. Archers, prepare yourselves. Don’t let him fly away.”

A sect without a commander was just a gathering. With a commander, they were like organised armies.

Once they received orders, the Magical classes began casting their skills while Archers aimed their bows into the sky.

“Haha!”

When he heard Golden Sun Blossom’s scream, Wang Yu subconsciously glanced in the direction of Golden Sun Blossom. Even though he couldn’t understand foreign languages, seeing his reaction, Wang Yu got the rough idea of what he was thinking. As such, he let out a bitter laugh.

When Starry Sky City’s players received the system notification, Wang Yu received one too.

<System notification: Take God’s Glory back to Brave Continent. When you die, there is a chance of dropping any item. While you escort this item, you are not allowed to use any flying equipment or skills.>

See that? The system was always rigged. It was hard enough to deliver God’s Glory with over a hundred thousand players chasing after him. On top of that, he wasn’t allowed to fly. Wasn’t this practically forcing Wang Yu and Starry Sky City’s players to play with their lives on the line? They had to fight to the death.

After all, a chance was a vague idea in the game.

If it were a 100% drop rate, it would be fine. With a single death, the entire matter would be over.

As the saying went, a person’s life lay in his own hands.

With Wang Yu’s luck, he was scammed by the NPC and the system day-in, day-out. If he were lucky, he would drop the item after a few deaths. If he was unlucky, he might fall to LV0 again.

…

Of course, even if [Flying] was permitted, Wang Yu didn’t plan on doing it.

Damn it, God’s Tower had nearly 10,000 people surrounding it tightly. On top of that, after they received the system notification, Starry City’s players were rushing over at once.

What was the scale of 10,000 people?

Looking down from above, there were people everywhere. Nearly 10,000 people were surrounding one person. The visual effect could only be described with the word ‘grand’.

Wang Yu stood in the centre as he looked afar. He couldn’t even see the end of the sea of people.

Being surrounded like this meant that even if Superman flew into the skies, he would die from being pierced nearly instantaneously.

In the face of such odds, anyone who chose to fly to the sky was an idiot.

“Attack!”

While he was contemplating what to do next, the circle seemed to close in at once. The players surrounding Wang Yu approached while the magic in the backline seemed to complete their preparations.

With a loud shout, multi-coloured magical spells launched and showered Wang Yu.

Sometimes, lacking the numbers for chance wasn’t a bad thing.

If they attacked Wang Yu at once, Wang Yu could avoid all the attacks with [Flash]. However, everyone launched their attacks in waves. Attacks were raining mercilessly from the sky.

The encirclement shrunk further as Wang Yu had even less space to dodge. They effectively eliminated the remaining space Wang Yu could avoid.

In the face of the torrent of attacks and the shrinking encirclement, Wang Yu didn’t panic at all. He didn’t fly to the sky or dodge to the side. Instead, he smiled and used [Flash] to head for the most familiar man in the front row, Blossoming Moon.
