God-level Hero-Chapter 1187 - 1102: The High-Stakes Gamble Amid the Sulfur Storm

Chapter 1187: Chapter 1102: The High-Stakes Gamble Amid the Sulfur Storm

It’s 2 AM in Beijing, and Star President Eternal Star along with Ninth Heaven President Divine Emperor are online, meeting with the higher-ups of Korea’s Freedom Wings Team, Soul Team, Boxer Star of Heaven Team, and other world-renowned teams.

The cause of the incident was originally a Korean female player, Li Yinzhu, being maliciously PKed by a Chinese player. It wasn’t considered a major issue and shouldn’t have affected the strategic collaboration between Star Ninth Heaven and Korea in the Japan Zone National War. However, the PK arguments and cursing between Chinese and Korean players, especially Li Yinzhu’s fans, have reached a boiling point. Then, within just two hours, the incident rapidly escalated like wildfire, becoming widespread enough that Eternal Star and Divine Emperor had to personally negotiate with Korea.

At this time, the current captain of Korea’s National Team, known as "Fighting Buddha," Ann ZhenxiAnn calmly asks in the chat room, "Can I ask whether Mr. Xiang and Mr. Huang’s guild team can represent all Chinese players?"

Eternal Star and Divine Emperor were taken aback and had to shake their heads: "No. But we believe that the influence of our guild can largely be representative."

"Influence?" Fighting Buddha laughed and said, "Can your influence restrain those troublemakers?"

Divine Emperor sighed and shook his head: "No."

Fighting Buddha laughed coldly: "Then, can you delete those insulting remarks made by troublemaking players on the forum?"

Eternal Star and Divine Emperor sighed deeply: "No. However, we will try our best to contact the forum administrators."

Fighting Buddha smiled faintly: "Since you can’t do anything now, what’s the point of our conversation? Actually, even in our country, we can’t manage those players outside our guild."

Eternal Star replied irritably: "Does Captain Ann mean just let them continue to cause a scene?"

Fighting Buddha replied calmly: "It’s inevitable. But rest assured, our few guild teams will maintain a consistent cooperation in the main direction. Do you have anything else?"

Eternal Star said sullenly: "Nothing else, then good night. Hopefully, nothing will happen when we wake up tomorrow."

After ending contact with Korea, Divine Emperor discontentedly said: "Look at you, I told you not to contact the Koreans! You’re worried your goddess might be PKed by them!"

Eternal Star replied frustratedly: "What a joke! If Little Deng really got PKed by Koreans, Star’s reputation would be greatly damaged. Even if we don’t want to confront them, we’d have to go hard. Little Deng’s millions of fans are watching."

Divine Emperor sighed: "Now the Koreans are clearly planning to privately invite expert players to regain face. Your goddess better stay in the city and not go out, and it would be best to have your guild’s top players use her account to stabilize things."

Eternal Star sighed: "Seems like that’s the only way."

Divine Emperor sighed: "I hate dealing with Koreans the most, they’re shameless yet not as thick-skinned. They act bossy because they’re good at games, with an attitude like they’re entitled. Truly wish we could stand proud in this game and take the Koreans down."

Eternal Star sighed: "As thick-skinned as they are, are they thicker than the Japanese? Koreans are just too pretentious, making them annoying. But politically and economically, they’re closely linked with our country, and national diplomatic policies protect them. Unlike the Japanese, who, despite facing aging and declining birth rates, are adamantly confronting our country fully, that’s truly crazy and hateful. In summary, we should make a move and focus on the main stage to target the Japanese, shifting the eyes of the public."

Divine Emperor nodded: "That’s the only way. Best if Da Fei posts a third video defending the Resurrection Point!"

Eternal Star replied irritatedly: "Are you really the guild leader? Can’t you stop relying on a casual player so much?"

Divine Emperor laughed: "What else can we do, experts are in the community, and they’re impressive. But speaking of which, where did this Martian expert come out from? We haven’t found out, have you seen this person?"

Eternal Star sighed: "Martian, huh! How could we remember that name? Do you know how many Martians are in China Region? At least 300,000 pure Martians! There are 2 million half-Martians who can recognize half a character! How can we investigate?"

Divine Emperor sighed: "Then we’ll have to find a chance to contact."

"Isn’t that obvious!"

At this moment, in the Japan Zone Mitsubishi Team Command Center.

The unexpected conflict between Chinese and Korean players thrilled the Mitsubishi Team. Igarashi immediately contacted Ono Shinichiro: "Ono-kun, tonight I’ll have to trouble you. Please continue to incite dissatisfaction between Chinese and Korean players on the Chinese forums!"

Ono replied enthusiastically: "Yes! I’ll do my best! Koreans’ arrogance and shamelessness have long made Chinese extremely dissatisfied, and we feel the same way!"

"Alright!" Igarashi nodded in satisfaction and asked: "By the way, Ono-kun, can you get in touch with Da Fei?"

Ono sighed: "No way. I can only confirm that Da Fei hasn’t logged off yet from the real-time updates on Bai Huasha’s personal microblog main page as she crossed zones on her mission."

Igarashi frowned: "What is Bai Huasha’s latest update?"

Ono: "The latest update was an hour ago, saying ’So looking forward to Brother Fei’s third video!’"

Igarashi’s face twitched: "Got it, then Ono-kun, please continue with your work!"

"Yes!"

After finishing the conversation with Ono, Igarashi stared seriously at the large screen on the wall. Several hours have passed, and the 15 main members of the Mitsubishi Team still don’t dare to log on. At this time, the Divine Turtle team members stationed at the Pool of Radiance boarded a new small vessel to search for Da Fei’s traces in the Pool of Radiance, and the results so far have come to zilch.

While relying on a small boat to search for Da Fei in the vast, dark Pool of Radiance is somewhat unrealistic, it is still better than doing nothing.

At this moment, Igarashi is feeling very conflicted. Not seeing Da Fei indicates that Da Fei must be deliberately avoiding reconnaissance to ambush and defend the Resurrection Point. This is Da Fei’s strategy of creating a false alibi to lure players. If Da Fei is seen, it would mean he indeed is defending, which is even more despairing!

While in the midst of indecision, a team member suddenly made a new discovery: "Report, Captain! We’ve discovered a large area of very clear lake!"

Soon after, another report came: "We found a large number of biological creatures writhing at the bottom of the lake, it’s the troop that Da Fei stationed!"

At this moment, the Mitsubishi Command Center was once again shocked: "What is this?"

It took a moment for Tsukamoto to regain his composure: "Is it Slime Monsters!?"

The President exclaimed in astonishment: "How can there be such gigantic Slime Monsters?"

Tsukamoto said solemnly: "Although I don’t know why this unit has appeared, Slime Monsters have purification abilities. This is Da Fei purifying the Pool of Radiance! If we let them purify at this current speed, the Pool of Radiance will fully recover in just a few days!"

The President gritted his teeth and said: "Yoshi! It’s time to probe Da Fei. As soon as the next small boat appears, the River God Group will immediately be deployed!"

"Hai!"

...

As the Mitsubishi Team was still tangled up over Da Fei’s movements, Da Fei’s dragon hunting action had been going on for an hour, having killed over a hundred Rust Dragon Patrols in total. The efficiency, the thrill, and the excitement was so intense that Da Fei couldn’t stop! In the end, no matter how excellent the attributes of these Rust Dragons were, in the face of a Sky Ship that operated on a completely different level in speed, altitude, and even spatial dimensions, they were merely like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, getting utterly crushed!

At this moment, Da Fei was truly elated! Using this hundred billion debt to gain a bouncing snowball-like development opportunity was totally worth it!

Just when Da Fei was looking for the next target, there was finally movement on the radar; all the Rust Dragons were retreating and regrouping back to Volcano Island, and not a single red dot could be seen on the map!

Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, the NPCs finally won’t let him have his way completely, is this the momentum to unleash a big move? Da Fei immediately commanded: "All troops on alert! Prepare to retreat back to the cabin at any time! Elena, Selvia, intensify the assistance to replenish mana for the Charging Crystal!"

Indeed, by this stage of the dragon hunt, Elena and Selvia no longer needed to take action. The battles were solved in an instant—either quick kills or quick escapes—leaving them no chance to cast spells, reducing them to mere human batteries.

Then the next moment, a series of loud rumbling sounds emanated from the Blood Sea seabed and Volcano Island. The underwater and island volcanic eruptions blasted continuously, spewing a massive amount of dense black smoke from the island and various open areas of the sea simultaneously!

The System Prompt clanged:

—Battle Task Hint: Warning! The enemy has activated the volcano, and a sulfur storm is about to launch. The space will become chaotic and distorted, making it impossible to teleport back to the city. Please make a cautious response within 30 seconds. You can use the Divine Power of the Silena Wood Staff to get through the most critical moment. Alternatively, you can choose to return to the city within 30 seconds, in which case the battle mission will be declared a failure!

—System Prompt: Sulfur Storm countdown begins: 29 seconds!

—System Prompt: Sulfur Storm countdown begins: 28 seconds!

...

Damn it! Finally unleashing the big move!

At this moment, Da Fei truly felt unprecedented pressure! Although Da Fei had experienced many Blood Sea Storms and Nether Sea Storms, there had never been a life-threatening countdown with a system prompt, much less a system’s friendly tip urging him to return to the city!

Anlicia exclaimed: "Lord City Lord, this is the sulfur storm that even Lord Silena solemnly warned about. It seems that its power is extraordinary. Do we really need to take such a huge risk on this non-essential task?"

Savara also said solemnly: "When a storm’s power is great enough to distort space, it’s no ordinary storm, it’s practically akin to a magic energy explosion. My Lord must think thrice!"

Damn it! Just when I was about to fight with great fervor, how can you, my most considerate deputies, urge me to retreat?

Even the Sky Ship’s NPC technician quickly advised: "Captain, the Sky Ship has never done a test for withstanding a major storm, please cease inflation and go underwater."

Dive underwater? At this moment, the entire Blood Sea had boiled into a great cauldron with mixed lava, how could Da Fei have the courage to dive? The Flying is ultimately made of wood, not a ceramic ship from Hell!

What to do? Da Fei’s once unshakable confidence began to waver! But NPCs would never issue tasks that players can’t possibly complete, and even specially gave a Divine Power Tree Branch, didn’t they? It must be okay, right? Surely it must be okay? It’s just that I killed a few more hundred patrol soldiers, clearly carelessly advancing the task progress, will this task still have the original difficulty?

While mired in indecision, the long-silent mechanical sound finally emerged from the operating console after several hours: "Agarlon has smelled a familiar scent!"

Agarlon woke up? Da Fei joyfully asked: "Agarlon, are you confident you can survive this sulfur storm?"

The mechanical voice replied: "Feels like a spring breeze!"

Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched! Indeed, the once fragmented Flying had upgraded significantly in the Pool of Radiance through a Light Storm, and sulfur is essentially the vitamin for demons, this is an opportunity for Agarlon to grow! As for the promise made earlier to have Agarlon bathe in the Sea of Light in the New World, that will have to wait, after all, a demon is still a demon, it’s best to go with the natural order.

At this moment, Da Fei finally gritted his teeth and decided to stake everything he owned on this unknown storm: "All team units enter the cabin! Sky Ship descends to low altitude above the sea surface! Prepare to challenge the storm!"

"Roger that!"

"As you wish, Captain!"
