MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

While Li Yi was busy leveling up in Underwater Remnants, major events had transpired within the Eastern Continent.

The supermajor guild of the gaming world, Tyrannic Dynasty had announced their official participation in King of Pantheon.

Commanding a bigger reputation than even Star Fire Guild, Tyrannic Dynasty’s elite members were more than fifty thousand in number prior to their participation into King of Pantheon.

The growth of other guilds depended on solicitation within the game but Tyrannic Dynasty was different. Their guild members were mostly elites from various games. In the span of three years since it was founded, it emerged to be one of the leading guilds in the gaming world, putting Star Fire and Dream Guild and the likes to shame.

Li Yi never took a liking towards Tyrannic Dynasty. It was not because he was jealous of their talent. It was more that he harbored a huge grudge against Tyrannic Dynasty’s 107 Elite Legion leader, Xiao Changfeng.

Tyrannic Dynasty was massive in number. The same could be said of their elites. Apart from 10 Deputy Guild Masters, they set up 200 Elite Legions, all in charge of clearing Instance Dungeons.

When Li Yi first played Pantheon in the past life, he made a few friends and one of them was Xiao Changfeng. They had a decent relationship. They were not that close but soon enough, they became familiar as they partied to clear dungeons.

The incident that changed Li Yi’s whole life was when the Wind Sword had been usurped by Wind-on-Snow in the 25-man dungeon, Windstorm Platform. The leader of the casual party at that time was Xiao Changfeng.

When Li Yi was bombarded with allegations, Xiao Changfeng was the first to jump out and apprehend him, accusing him of being an accomplice with Wind-on-Snow in snatching away the Wind Sword.

The dispute was futile as Xiao Changfeng dismissed him with one word.

Nobody was on Li Yi’s side out of the 23 party members that had cleared Windstorm Platform. It was those who had not been part of that group that trusted Li Yi against all odds.

All because of one equipment, the worst of human nature was revealed. From that point onwards, Li Yi saw through these people and chose to rebel after being killed multiple times for no reason.

During that time, Xiao Changfeng contacted Tyrannic Dynasty to issue a kill order on Li Yi.

An imperious kill order had only but one goal — to kill Li Yi to the point he deleted his account.

Because of this kill order, there were plenty of polls appearing in the forums on the official web, betting how long it would take before Dark Wing would terminate his account.

Many guilds were taking cues from Tyrannic Dynasty. It did not matter whether they had any relations with Li Yi. They joined in the bandwagon to hunt down Li Yi. In the beginning, Li Yi only swindled those few who cleared the Windstorm Platform together. In the end, countless accusations were thrown at him, most were not his doing yet he became the scapegoat…

Harassing Level 10 female characters, seeking for a one-night stand with Tyrannic Dynasty’s lady boss in the middle of the night, selling fake materials and swindling players, impregnating hundred over female players in one night before leaving them… For a moment, Li Yi was lost in the pool of accusations.

It went too far!

It could be said that Li Yi’s journey into the wrong path was not just by his doing, the environment played a part too. If the whole world was against one and forced one to take revenge, the person would be left with no choice.

The first day Tyrannic Dynasty entered into Pantheon, a message was sent to various Guild Masters in an attempt to get in touch and avoid any conflict.

Although Li Yi did not take a liking to Tyrannic Dynasty, this life was not his past life. If a matter could be settled with just a few exchanges of formality, then there was no need to bring things to a deadlock.

“We entered the game late so we hope all Guild Masters can take care of us. Haha, right, could you loan us some funds to start off? It doesn’t have to be a lot, just 1,000,000 Gold Coins from each guild would do. This isn’t much for you, ain’t it?”

The message sent by Tyrannic Dynasty’s boss, Defiantly Tyrannical was simple and straight to the point.

One word, cash!

His style was no different from the past life — brutal and tyrannical.

“This arrogant even as a newbie? Won’t your cockiness go overboard in the future? Idiot Defiant you are! I have but these words to give you, stay away from me!”

In the Eastern Continent, Electrocute You Dead, leader of Drop Dead Youngsters, a guild of more than 3,000 was the first to run his mouth.

At least another hundred guilds were openly against the ways of Tyrannic Dynasty. There still existed guilds that were in accordance with Tyrannic Dynasty. This had not changed from the past life. Star Fire, War God Clan, Century Flower. These guilds were with Tyrannic Dynasty but whether or not they offered funds was a different story.

“It’s up to you guys if you’d like to contribute or otherwise. I’m not forcing you. What’s with the mouth? We are all civilized people. You need not go cussing here,” Defiantly Tyrannical provided a solid explanation.

The money-asking matter was then blown over. Tyrannic Dynasty was currently made up of all alt accounts so it was impossible for them to target anyone.

It would not be long before Tyrannic Dynasty made their move though.

Others may not know of it but Li Yi was well-versed on how treacherous that Defiantly Tyrannical guy could be.

He was a double-faced creep. He may seem like a rash yet silly person but in reality, he was quite calculative. He was clear about who were his friends and enemies. If he had not made his move, it just meant it was not time yet.

On the fifteenth day of entering the game, when the members of Tyrannic Dynasty had reached around Level 14 and 15, Defiantly Tyrannical issued an order to besiege Drop Dead Youngsters.

Many thought this was a joke but the joke was on them.

At least half of the fifty thousand elites from Tyrannic Dynasty played the Wizard class. They were united and tactical, launching far-range attacks with a few thousand members besieging less than a hundred. Although Drop Dead Youngsters was a guild of over 3,000 members, there were some members who were absent. Assembling everyone had always been an issue. Although their levels were high, they could not retaliate against ten thousand incoming fireballs.

“F*ck me! This bunch of idiots!” Drop Dead Youngsters’ guild master, Electrocute You Dead gave a tongue-lashing. He consolidated the guild and counter-attacked against Tyrannic Dynasty. Although they took out many from Tyrannic Dynasty, the loss he suffered was too massive.

Those from Tyrannic Dynasty did not have any pieces of equipment and relied on group attack. Drop Dead Youngsters’ average level was 30. Not only would dying one time cost them a lot of EXP, but their equipment would also drop. As for Tyrannic Dynasty? One death would not cost them any EXP and they had no equipment to be dropped in the first place.

One could not lose what one did not have. They utilized their large numbers and with fifty thousand of them acting in unison, they were never caught alone.

After a five-day battle, Drop Dead Youngsters could not take it any longer. The guild was left scattered. The original 3,000 members became less than 1,000.

With their constitution ruined, Tyrannic Dynasty instead, reaped the benefits.

“Idiot Defiant, f*ck all the women in your family! Your wife f*cks behind your back! You motherf*cker drug dealer…” Electrocute You Dead was spamming the world channel daily. He was pissed beyond words.

“Lookie lookie here. I said not to run your mouth. What are you? We’re all civilized. Cussing like that really is low,” Even when faced with daily cusses, Defiantly Tyrannical kept his cool.

This incident put the spotlight on Tyrannic Dynasty once again. Defiantly Tyrannical may seem arrogant, at least he had a sense of propriety. After taking care of Drop Dead Youngsters, he immediately kept a low profile, ordering his brothers against instigating a fight. Even if they were killed, they were not to retaliate.

He had his members in low-key while networking with major capable guilds. Tyrannic Dynasty’s participation in Pantheon really left an uneasy feeling with many guilds.

On the nineteen day that Tyrannic Dynasty was in Pantheon, Star Fire and War God Clan announced their alliance with Tyrannic Dynasty. The most powerful force of the Eastern Continent in the past life, the Three Major Guild Alliance has emerged.

Of course, if they could form an alliance, so could anyone else. Dream Guild, God Creator and guilds with close relations with Li Yi sought him out to form an alliance against these three guilds.

In the past life, Little Drunk Cat played no part. But in this life, Little Drunk Cat Guild became one of the core forces.

Li Yi’s recommendations landed Dream Guild Master, Flower Underpants, the highest leadership position in the allied forces.

Li Yi did not have the time to be the Supreme Commander so recommending Flower Underpants was an act to repay a debt from the past life.

In a short span of a month, the two forces of the Eastern Continent came to light.

During this period, Li Yi did nothing but slug it out in Underwater Remnants. He took advantage of Princess Mermaid’s velocity to go solo on murlocs.

Level 58!

This was the fruit of Li Yi’s one month labor. Lonely Semi City was only level 53 on the rankings. This time, it was Li Yi’s turn to surpass him.

Level grinding came with a price. There was a need for expensive potions, scrolls, and repair of equipment. In the period of a month, just leveling cost Li Yi over fifty thousand Gold Coins.

The month of training had improved his techniques to a whole new level. He originally could only lure over a hundred murlocs but now he could attract over five hundred of them with ease.

Of course, Li Yi also received a pleasant surprise. Mermaid Princess’ Affinity towards him increased from -199,999 to -158,888. The way things were developing, the Affinity would soon resume to normal.

Battling while mounting her seemed to progress the Affinity. If he knew about it sooner, he would just ride her daily.

“Shoot at Random!”

A golden glow flickered over Li Yi as countless arrows were fired into multiple directions. A pile of murlocs lay dead after taking a hit, silencing the entire water region in a second.

…

“Splash!”

Female human Wizard, Qi Ge leaped into the water with hope for the 107th time but fell into disappointment once again.

There were many murlocs swimming about yet not a corpse in sight. (Li Yi was in deep waters tens of thousand meters away farming monsters)

“Oh bug, oh bug, oh my lovely bug. When will you come back?” Qi Ge sighed looking dejected. She rubbed her Return City Stone in the waters and left…
