Chapter 288: Deity
Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi walked side by side until the sun set. Only a few golden lights were left on the horizon, and the cracked clouds were dyed golden by the golden light.
Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi’s shadows dragged on for a long time. In the end, the sun completely set and the sunlight disappeared for good. Their long shadows also disappeared.
Then, night descended. The sky was filled with stars, and endless starlight scattered down. Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi were strolling under the endless starry sky.
Time seemed to have moved back hundreds of years, as if they had returned to the days when they had traveled together.
Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi looked up at the starry sky. Wei Huo’s eyes emitted a golden light, and he could see the entire starry sky. However, his Eye of Illusion Destruction could not see through the void.
The void was reflected in Lu Qiqi’s eyes. Her eyes were the pupils of the night sky to begin with and emitted endless starlight as if they were her vast inner world.
However, at that moment, flashes of light appeared on the horizon. There were endless flames in the distant mountain range.
The golden armor and the Prime Minister Black Dragon had stopped fighting long ago. They stood guard around Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi and watched the flashes and flames approaching them vigilantly.
Wei Huo looked over. The Eye of Illusion Destruction saw through everything. The light in the sky was used by players riding flying mounts. The endless flames in the mountain range were countless players and human armies rushing over with torches.
Lu Qiqi looked at the flames and said slowly, “I’m going to become enemies with all humans and players. Are you still going to stand by my side?”
Wei Huo said, “Enemies? So be it.”
A moment later, the system sent another notification to all the players. “Deathbringer has joined the Black Dragon Faction. You will obtain a Mythical weapon by killing Deathbringer.”
All the players went crazy.
A player said, “Is it at the Mythical stage? The Mythical stage above the Legendary stage?”
A guild leader said, “Pay attention. We can’t let other players beat us to it. We have to obtain this Mythical weapon!”
However, another player said, “Could this so-called Deathbringer be a Mythical creature? Are we his match?”
At that moment, five dazzling lights descended from the sky. The five lights landed on the Human Faction and five deities that emitted an extremely powerful aura appeared.
The players were stunned. They immediately used appraisal skills, but only two attributes were identified.
Deity X5, Legendary-level.
A player said, “I understand. These are Legendary creatures of the Human Faction. What we need to do is support these five deities . They are the main source of damage!”
Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi saw the five deities . They were all late-stage Legendary creatures. Their domain power spread out and formed an array that trapped Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi.
Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi were facing each other’s back.
Hundreds of years ago, Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi had gone through an Animal Frenzy with their backs against each other. During that incident, Wei Huo had held a strong bow while Lu Qiqi had held a bolt action rifle. Any approaching frenzied animal had been killed by them.
The five deities formed an array and shouted, “We had been ordered by the Godly Monarch to attack the Black Dragon of Destruction. Anyone who is associated with the Black Dragon will be destroyed.”
After the deity said that, another system notification popped up.
“Players, please choose your faction immediately. You will randomly choose a faction in 30 seconds. You will not be able to change your choice.”
Countless players panicked. They were not ready yet. Many players wanted to see what the Black Dragon Monarch looked like first.
A player pointed at the Prime Minister Black Dragon in the sky and asked, “Is that the Black Dragon Monarch?”
A player whose level was much higher than his said, “That’s the Prime Minister Black Dragon Monarch. I’ve identified him. He’s at the Legendary stage!”
A player said, “It seems like the Black Dragon Monarch’s side is not weak. This is destined to be a battle between Legendary creatures!”
A guild leader said, “The NPCs of the two factions are definitely evenly matched. The outcome will depend on the players. There are many players in that faction. If they are stronger, that faction will definitely be stronger and their chances of winning will be higher.”
The president of the Knights of Light Guild said, “Guild members, choose the Human Faction immediately.”
A player said, “Tsk, it’s the bachelor knights. I didn’t expect them to choose the Human Faction.”
A new player who did not know the truth asked, “Aren’t they the Knights of Light? Why are you calling them bachelor knights?”
A player replied, “Are they new players? You don’t know this, but the members of the Knights of Light are all single in the Demon Realm. They can’t beat other people in the Demon Realm, so they came to the game to gain some approval.”
A novice player asked, “Then does that mean they aren’t very strong?”
The other player said, “Aren’t very strong? Are you kidding? The Knights of Light Guild is one of the three strongest guilds in the Western Continent. They were not happy in the Demon Realm, so they spent 80% of their energy in the game. That’s why they are so strong!”
As the player said that, another guild announced that they would join the Human Faction. That guild was one of the three strongest guilds in the Western Continent, the Sunset Guild. It was extremely powerful, and its members were wherever the sun set.
As soon as the two big guilds chose their factions, countless guildless players and small guild players chose the Human Faction.
A player said, “The two strongest guilds have chosen the Human Faction. The Black Dragon Faction is hopeless. Let’s choose the Human Faction.”
Most of the players nodded and chose the Human Faction. However, a few players chose the Black Dragon Faction. Most of those players were lifestyle players who just wanted to enjoy life.
These players did not participate in battles, so they did not care about the rewards. In comparison, 10% of their attributes would greatly increase the efficiency of training their life skills. That was why they had chosen the Black Dragon Faction.
At that moment, the last three strongest guilds chose to join the Human Faction. The guild leader of the Star Guild said, “Unfortunately, if I were not the Deputy City Lord, I would definitely have chosen the Black Dragon Faction. The Star Guild is the strongest guild in the Western Continent. If we join the Black Dragon Faction now, we can defeat all the players by ourselves and show our strength. What a pity…”
Since the three major guilds had chosen to join the Human Faction, there was no doubt that they had chosen a lineup. Countless players had chosen to join the Human Faction and were not elated about the reward that they could easily obtain.
The Prime Minister Black Dragon, who was hovering in the air, gritted his teeth when he saw this. “Detestable humans. They only care about their own interests and don’t understand the thoughts of the Queen. I really want to burn these ants to death with my dragon breath!”
