Chapter 89: Chapter89-5 Billion vs. 100 Million! A High-Stakes Gamble!

[Ding~ The number of surviving players in World District 616 has sharply declined. Combat rating downgraded to A! Completion rewards increased by 1000%!]

Daniel didn’t even raise an eyelid.

As expected, many players from other world districts had likely been slaughtered on a massive scale.

This surge in rewards had been bought with the sacrifice of most of the District 616 players.

Yet for him, this doubling of rewards was more than worth it.

Ten times the completion reward was enough to entice anyone.

He lifted his gaze toward the castle walls.

A system announcement suddenly rang across the secret realm:

[Secret Realm Announcement: Stage One "Monster Siege" is about to commence! Players from all districts, prepare yourselves!]

Daniel strode up to the castle walls, eyes scanning the horizon.

A black dot appeared in the distance.

It quickly stretched into a line... then a massive black wave!

A sea of monsters surged forward, endless and overwhelming.

Towering rock giants, tens of meters tall, stomped heavily, shaking the earth with every step.

Groups of bipedal wyverns blocked out the sky, casting enormous shadows.

Tide-like waves of beastfolk warriors charged with roaring axes, trailed by countless twisted fiends, decaying undead, and blazing demons.

Together, they formed an apocalyptic force, crushing everything in their path.

[Battle Interface]

World District 616 participants: 97,410,000

Combat Rating: A

Monster Count: 5,000,000,000

Monster Rating: SSS

On the castle walls, everyone gasped at the interface.

5 billion monsters!

97 million players!

Almost 50 monsters per player!

And the monsters’ combat rating was two tiers higher than theirs.

"My gods... the number of monsters rivals Earth’s population. This is troublesome!"

A voice trembled.

"Yes... how are we supposed to fight this?"

Brows furrowed, players realized that in both quantity and tier, they were outmatched.

Relying solely on castle defenses and siege equipment would hardly withstand this onslaught.

Worse yet, this was only the first stage of the monsters.

"Damn those foreign-world players! If it weren’t for them, our 1-billion strong district might still have a chance against this Monster Siege!"

Teeth gritted, some muttered angrily.

Daniel ignored all these voices.

He stood atop the walls, slowly raising Stellar Wrath.

A golden arrow condensed on the bowstring.

Memories from past lives surged like a tidal wave. Daniel knew everything about this secret realm.

The number of monsters in the Monster Siege always scaled with the number of defending players—at least tenfold.

What awaited them was an incredibly overwhelming flood of monsters.

More importantly, the secret realm contained a little-known rule:

If leaders of five or more world districts agreed to contribute enough gold coins to the system, they could simultaneously increase both the number and tier of a particular world’s siege monsters.

It was a weapon for the coalition of worlds to suppress a strong district, and the only tool for weaker districts to gang up on stronger ones.

Of course, this required real financial sacrifice.

But Daniel also understood another truth—risk and reward were always proportional.

The more monsters and the higher their tier, the greater the rewards for a successful defense.

The monsters would drop buffs, siege equipment, and anything useful for fortifying the castle.

Simply put: the more they killed, the more they earned.

This was a high-stakes gamble.

The lives of all District 616 players were the wager.

Those foreign-world players’ traps—the gold coin-powered increase in siege difficulty—were, in Daniel’s eyes, just another pile of wealth waiting to be collected.

A cold curve tugged at the corner of his lips.

His mind was already calculating.

[World District 1213 Channel]

The chat was flooding with frenzied, hostile messages:

"This battle, we must erase District 616 from the map!"

"Let them get arrogant! Think they’re impressive because of high player counts? I want to see how long they survive this time!"

"Twelve districts combined, spent gold to double siege numbers and tier... they’re doomed!"

"Ugh... you guys are truly malicious to the bone."

A comment from a District 616 viewer appeared, filled with resentment:

"Even if we didn’t fully understand the external players’ secret messages, we could sense the conspiracy."

In moments, thousands of 616 players flooded Daniel’s viewing channel, messages streaming like a tidal wave:

"Brothers, the truth is out! These monsters were manipulated by the foreign districts!"

"Exactly, we’ve confirmed it—they tampered with our district’s siege monsters!"

"Damn! These foreign bastards have no bottom line!"

"Is this info reliable? Can the game even allow this?"

"Damn! Our chat alerts don’t even reach the secret realm!"

"They trapped us once during teleport... and now again! Too much!"

"Don’t panic, everyone, don’t panic. We have Faustus!"

"Yes, with Faustus, what’s there to fear?"

Gradually, panic subsided, replaced by silent, unwavering trust.

Everyone understood: they had a superpowered champion on their side.

[Global Live Stream · Faustus Channel]

The chat exploded:

"This is insane!"

"I just checked the foreign-world spectator channels. They’re facing only 30 million siege monsters, rating A..."

"No doubt, those foreign bastards are messing with the numbers!"

"District 616 is in real danger this time!"

"Hahaha, those cheaters are stunned now—enjoy it!"

"So what if they have Faustus? Can he really take down 5 billion monsters alone?"

"A bunch of jealous fools, don’t get cocky."

"Wait... look, Faustus is moving!"

Daniel’s eyes scanned the approaching ocean of monsters.

Ten kilometers... three kilometers... one kilometer...

"Fire!"

Sunborn’s roar echoed across the walls.

Hundreds of ballistae fired simultaneously, thick bolts carving bloody lanes through the monster waves.

Trebuchets hurled massive stones, smashing through crowds of monsters, splattering flesh and bone.

Runes atop arrow towers flared, unleashing a torrential downpour of magical arrows.

Yet against a sea of 5 billion monsters, these attacks were mere drops in the ocean.

The monsters roared and surged forward, stepping over fallen allies without pause.

Their numbers were so immense, it was almost hopeless.

At that moment, Daniel leapt from the walls.

Black Dragon Wings unfurled behind him, spanning over ten meters.

He hovered in the air, high above, gazing down upon the boundless sea of monsters.
