Ranking System-Chapter 128 Barum Alliance

[Third Person POV]

"Boss. I have great news!"

An employee from world shuttle assistance appeared to his world's boss and wanted to spill the great news.

"What is it?"

"Boss! The world Earth will become a second-rank world in a few hours! We could use this chance to attack! Their resources would become ours!"

"Hoh. That is great news. You'll get your bonus. There is one hundred thousand worth of credits in this bag."

"Boss..."

Once the employee touched the bag, his body felt cold. A beam pierced his heart, killing him directly. Now that this worker had done his job, he was useless to this boss of his.

Fred, the leader of his world, laughed once he found a prey to sink his teeth into. Using some of his employees to enter a workplace at a world shuttle, they find new worlds to prey onto. With a target spotted, Fred set up a meeting with the alliance.

All the alliance members were sitting on a chair over Fred's call. Some were annoyed by this call, but since Fred signaled an emergency call, this meeting was where everyone had to attend.

"You should know what our main business is. A worker of mine found a world that has newly ranked up to the second rank. You know what this means."

Generally, all new worlds that have ascended to the second rank are new to the feature set by the system.

The new feature, such as the alliance and hub feature, is something the new world won't entirely grasp.

A newly ascended world such as Earth was a place that wouldn't expect an army of a thousand people with the alliance feature added to the mix.

The Barum alliance was a group that made a killing by invading worlds that newly ascended. While usually, it was impossible to target a world with the invasion token solely. But with how confident the Barum alliance was, they surely had a way to bypass this rule.

"Fred. Why didn't you say so earlier? I was getting bored. Invading a newbie world will bring a little spice."

A blue demon that went by the name of Demifrost smiled in delight. As another member of an alliance leader, he was a bloodthirsty man who wanted some action to kill.

"Demifrost, you should know the only thing I do is use the emergency button for occasions like this." 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Both of them had a not-so-pleasant conversation to the ears of others. The other eight members of the alliance were listening.

"Fred. On with the meeting!"

One of the members couldn't be bothered to wait. To them, time was precious. Any second would increase the chances of the world that they were joining an alliance of other worlds.

"The world Earth is ascending to a second-rank world. We should have a few hours before they fully ascend. Sasha, when is the right time to invade?"

Fred asked Sasha who was the reason why everyone here could invade a new world. Sasha sat down stiff as stone, unable to answer.

They didn't rush her as she was using her ability. As she sat there, something felt off about her. Her usual calm nature turned into someone frightened by their life.

"What's wrong?"

"We shouldn't invade this new world."

"Huh??? Why not?"

Demifrost frowned at Sasha's denial. For him, this was one of his favorite pastimes. Some of the alliance's people were also rioting, wanting to know the answer.

"Everyone going to the new world would die..."

Hearing what Sasha had said, everyone couldn't help but frown. To some, it was ridiculous for them to die for invading a new world that had just ascended.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Us die to a team of people that had just ranked up?"

"No. It was only one person... Our death would be cruel, and our world would be turned into a barren wasteland. Sorry, but this world is out of the question."

Sasha checked what would happen if they were to invade. The death count would rise to a hundred billion people if this were to happen. It was something no one wouldn't have imagined possible.

Most people thought that Sasha was spewing crap. They couldn't believe it was only one person who had just come from a first-ranked world that could do something like that.

"What kind of joke is this? Is this an attempt to take everything for yourself?"

One person from the alliance doesn't believe her claim, especially with how outrageous her claim is.

"Sorry, but I don't buy it. Tell us when to invade, and there will be no trouble here."

As much as he didn't try to sound threatening, Sasha knew that this alliance would crack down from all the options she would take. Taking the choice of not dying, she told them the exact time they would need to invade the newly ascended world.

"I won't be taking part in this raid."

The people that thought she wanted to take everything from the raid had their eyes widened from her withdrawal.

"Then I also won't be taking part in this."

There was an alliance leader that had a good relationship with Sasha. He knew that there was no reason for her to reject taking part in this slaughter.

"Does anyone else want to leave? If so, we take more resources."

In the end, aside from Sasha and two other people, the other seven alliance leaders would start this raid.

There wasn't much to do in this meeting, so the rest separated. Before Sasha left, two other members that refused to join the raid tried to talk to her.

"Is it true that we would have died if we joined the invasion?"

A female member that had trusted Sasha's judgment questioned her. You could tell she was cautious from her refusal to join after listening to the person who could spot the danger.

"Not only would we die. Our death would be something one should never have."

"Are we not going to convince any of them?"

Sasha shook her head. There was no reason for her to put in the effort.

"We only have business deals. They're someone easily replaced. Now that their deaths are confirmed, we better find seven new worlds to invite."
