After the war was finished Shi Feng met with Wildfighter and Crimson Witch.
"Instructors Fighter and Instructor Witch, thank you for your help, but what brings you here?" Although Shi Feng was confident that they could've defeated the enemy without Violet Sword's help, it would have definitely taken some time and his city would have taken severe damages. So he was grateful for their help.
"Guild Leader Black Flame it is only natural that we would help our allies in their time of need," Wildfighter responded to Shi Feng with a smile.
"Guild Leader Black Flame, forgive my rudeness but our guild leader has a message for you. He said that he hopes to deepen the relationship between our two guilds, so if Zero requires any help, don't hesitate to ask." Crimson Witch meant every word.
Zero Wing is a perfect partner to work with among the various superpowers. Zero Wing is somehow able to require resources that these superpowers require desperately and the guild doesn't seem to be in urgent need of those resources. What Zero Wing needs are funds and capital to sustain its expansive growth. And that is something these superpowers have plenty of.
"Of course. Zero Wing will gladly like to work more with Violet Sword as well. Our partnership is sure to bring about amazing profits." Shi Feng was excited to hear this. Violet Sword definitely spent a lot to help his guild. Especially with the ray canons and whatever they used to break the ancient master array. They probably want to form some kind of alliance that involved Rising Wing City.
The relationship between Zero Wing and Violet Sword has mostly been one of training each other. One of the reasons for the upper echelons rapid growth in combat standards was because of Violet Swords training. In exchange Zero Wing will train Violet Sword members in combat techniques exclusive to the guild and a little bit of the realms of truth training. Of course the people that they trained couldn't use the extraordinary tower.
Now that both guilds are deepening their relationship with each other, they can start profiting more from each other. Shi Feng also had the perfect plan for this too.
On the side Hell Rush was stunned. Many superpowers haven't really tried to trouble Zero Wing too much in the west because of the alliance between it and Netherworld Empire.
Now that they have Violet Sword's full support as well, not even Mythology and Infinite Sky will want to cause conflict with the guild without thinking twice. +
When Shi Feng and the others were finished discussing they all went back to developing the city.
Phoenix Rain had more than 50,000 guild members arrive and to guard the city. Shi Feng also let Violet Sword build a temporary guild residence here and the guild had sent some people to the city as well.
Shi Feng focused on building the sky fusion tower and the other architects went around creating more construction to fill up the city. Luckily high level construction designs were relatively easy to acquire in the west. Not many guilds had much use for construction designs because they didn't have the ability to build guild towns and cities and deal with the relentless horde of beasts attacking them.
After more than 14 hours of work the previous barren city was now filled with houses, hotels, restaurants, smithies, and much more.
The functions Shi Feng has chosen for the city also finished being built and he had just finished building the sky fusion tower.
Once Shi Feng activated the tower an incredible change happened to the city's mana. Before the mana in the city had felt soothing and if one practiced their mana control they can gain good results.
Now the mana around them felt solid and tangible. Manipulating it has become easy, even a tier 1 player will have an easy time manipulating the mana in the city.
The sky fusion tower also gave 40% of the double exp buff for resting in the city for five hours. If they rest in the city for ten hours players will get the full buff. And this is only when standing outside, if players rested in a hotel or private residence the benefits will be even greater than in Stone Forest City. +
While everyone was enjoying the new benefits of being in the city Shi Feng was stunned speechless by the sky fusion tower's abilities. "What an incredible construction! With this I don't have to worry about the city getting captured for a long time."
Shi Feng wasn't exaggerating, with the tower's defensive abilities, everyone below tier 6 is nothing before this tower. Only teams of true tier 6 players can successfully capture Rising Wing City while it is being defended by the Sky Fusion tower.
Not tier 5 players with tier 6 combat power or players with legendary items or skills that can elevate them to tier 6. Without truly being of a tier 6 class, defeating this tower is practically impossible.
Just as he was admiring his new tower he got a message from Blue Phoenix.
"Guild Leader, we lost communication with one of our scout teams. We suspect they have been killed" she said with worry.
"I see I'll head to your position immediately." Shi Feng then made his way for the city walls.
Guardian Star City: Cloud Fall Bar
Cloud Fall Bar is known as one of the western continents seven supreme bars. The drinks here are considered a luxury for even NPC nobles.
Inside a private room on the top floor sat a miserable man drinking himself silly as if he were recently dumped by his girlfriend.
This man was Vendor Wind. He had originally planned to come here in celebration after capturing Rising Wing City, but now he was drinking to wash away his sorrows.
The current guild leader of Infinite Sky will retire soon and he had the highest chance of becoming the next guild leader out of everyone in the guild. After his massive failure in the recent war, his authority in the guild had greatly diminished.
The guild leader, vice guild leaders, and elders were currently discussing on how to punish him for his failure. He wouldn't be surprised if he was demoted to legion commander or instructor due to how big a loss the guild suffered.
As he chugged down his drink a knock was heard on his door. He let the person who knocked enter and in came a beautiful shy looking girl, who repulsed the surrounding mana. It was Indigo Stream.
Seeing how drunk the man was Indigo was stunned and asked, "Vice Guild Leader how much have you had to drink? You shouldn't drink so much even in the game!"
God's Domain mimicked real life almost perfectly. Everything about the player's real world body will be transferred to their virtual bodies, with the exception of medical conditions and disabilities.
Experts in the realms of refinement can't get intoxicated easily because of their developed brain activity. The fact that Vendor Wind; a true domain realm expert was clearly drunk meant that he must of drank multiple gallons of alcohol.
Indigo was worried that he might develop some alcoholic tendencies.
Vendor Wind looked up from his drink and told Indigo, "I have this weird medical condition that makes all my problems disappear when I'm drunk! So don't worry." He took another gulp of his drink, "what did you come here for Indigo?"
Indigo decided to leave him be and reported, "we have discovered that Mythology is on the move. They have dispatched a huge army and something seems special about them."
Hearing this Vendor Wind immediately sobered up, "Mythology?! Hahaha the gods haven't forsaken me yet!"
Indigo was confused. "Why so happy Vice Guild Leader?" She asked him. +
"Don't you see Indigo! This can only end in two ways. Either Zero Wing will lose and have their city taken away. If that happens I can have the last laugh knowing Black Flame will suffer!"
"And the second scenario?"
"Mythology will fail miserably and I can finally be at peace knowing that smug prick has finally failed in something!"
The smug prick that Vendor Wind was talking about is Mythology's current guild leader. Many years back he and that man were in the race to be trained under the Flame Bearer. In the end the Flame Bearer had chosen that man and he grew to become Mythology's guild leader, while he was stuck as a vice guild leader.
Vendor Wind had held a grudge against him ever since as he believes the opportunity was stolen from him.
"Indigo, get Cloudy Nine and the others, this is a time for celebration! Hahahaha!
Bermuda Islands: Rising Wing City
Shi Feng made his way to the top of the city walls. There he found Aqua Rose, Phoenix Rain, Yi Loufei, Hell Rush, Carbon Cat, Wild Fighter, and Crimson Witch as well as a few others.
"What's going on," Shi Feng asked?
"Guild Leader Black Flame, a few patrol squads had suddenly gone missing. We suspect they had been killed. Were waiting for them to get back to us in the real world," WildFighter told him.
"We had recalled Yang Tianxing and Link Wonder's teams back but they seemed to have found some kind of strange crystal." Phoenix Rain said.
While Shi Feng was thinking of what to do, suddenly over three dozen portals were opened in front of the city. Each portal was easily the size of a soccer field or larger and out of each portal marched thousands of players, the total number easily exceeding a million.
These players sported the Mythology guild emblem and had a glowing tattoo of a green flame on their foreheads.
"The HellFire Contract!" Shi Feng muttered to himself in shock. The Hell Fire contract was very popular in his past life. But it was only seen when the demon gods had entered the main continent.
The Hell Fire contract came from the Hell Fire source; a power said to be the source of power for all demonic creatures. Only demon gods can grant power from the Hell Fire Source to create the Hell Fire contract.
In exchange for part of their immortal soul, a demon god would grant the player some power from the Hell Fire. The more of your immortal soul you give up the more power from the Hell Fire you will receive. At its weakest the power from the Hell Fire can allow even an ordinary expert the power to transcend tiers.
If a tier 2 player obtains a Hellfire contract, they will gain a boost to all their attributes and physique that will put them on the same level as tier 3 players. They will also get a legit tier 3 mana body called a sinful mana body. This mana body will automatically be unlocked and draws its power from the Hell Fire. Similarly all skills will be powered by the Hell Fire and be upgraded to the next tier.
If a tier 3 player gets the contract similarly all their attributes, physique, and skills will rise to the tier 4 standards and they will gain tier 4 mana control. They can also draw mana from the Hell Fire source which can rival mana from the Void.
Unless you are willing to give up a large portion of your immortal soul,the Hell Fire contract can only power tier 5 players up to the basic tier 6 standard. The downsides are that death penalty increase massively. Not only will each death weaken your connection to the Hell Fire Source till it completely disappears, depending on how much of your immortal soul was given up, players can lose at least 3 levels and not log into God's Domain for a 4 days.
Also players will constantly release demonic energy and be banned from all good side affiliated territories, unless they find a way to hide the demonic energy. If caught by a kingdom, empire, War God Temple, or other places affiliated with good, players will be cleansed of the Hell Fire, lose 15 levels and be barred from logging into God's Domain for 2 months.
From what Shi Feng could tell over a million tier 2 players had walked out from the portals as well as thousands of tier 3 players and nearly five hundred tier 4 players.
In reality, this was a force of over a million tier 3 players, thousands of tier 4 players and nearly five hundred tier 5 players.
That wasn't all to exit the portals, thousand upon thousands of tier 3 Demon Kings, a couple hundred tier 4 Great Demons and four tier 5 Great Demon Kings walked out the portals as well. They were all accompanied by horrific creatures the size of skyscrapers that could only be found in the UnderWorld.
[Inferior Cerberus] Level 171 (superior mythic)
101,450,000,000/101,450,000,000HP
[Reaper Bear] level 168 (super mythic)
97,722,000,000/97,722,000,000HP
[Hell Bat Lord] Level 168 (superior mythic)
97,102,880,000/97,102,102,880,000HP
[Hell Mountain Tiger] level 174 (legendary ancient fiend)
449,051,000,000/449,051,000,000HP
[Golden Bone Condor] level 174 (archaic legendary)
425,517,000,000/425,517,000,000HP
[Fiendish Hell Scorpion] level 175 (legendary)
425,972,772,000/425,972,772,000HP
There were dozens of these monsters walking out of the portals. Aside from their intimidating size and horrific appearance, their HPs made the defenders feel helpless. The average tier 4 player can deal around 800,000 damage to legendary creatures. Even if one of these legendary creatures stood still and let a raid team assault them, its battle recovery will keep it alive.
Shi Feng felt that this was natural, after level 150 and every ten levels after that, monsters gain a massive evolution. Trying to solo a monster 5 levels ahead of you will be sucide for most players without some special means. +
After the entire demonic army finished marching through the portal out came a man on top of a giant three headed frost eagle. Everyone immediately recognized him. Not because of his handsome face and strong body but because this was the guild leader of one of the Five Great Super Guilds.
Lost Soul The guild leader of Mythology.
With his head held high, he looked towards Shi Feng and the rest and said in the magic device that amplified his voice for all to hear.
"Guild Leader Black Flame. You have done well to resist my guild but your arrogance will be the end of you. But still I must thank you. Because you do not care who you offend, mythology has gained this incredible power. Now suffer the wrath of the demon god!" +
As Lost Soul finished his sentence a giant phantom of the demon God Atlock appeared behind him. The phantom was easily the size of some of the world's tallest buildings.
[Atlock] level ??? (Tier 5 Great Demon King Phantom)
?????????/?????????HP
Atlock just stood there as he looked at Shi Feng with disdain and hatred. An ant had the guts to steal his treasures without taking his trial. Today he would rip that ant's soul out and make him his eternal puppet.
Everyone on the defenders side felt absolutely hopeless. Even a random tier 2 player felt dangerous to some of the tier 3 players, not to mention the higher tiered players.
Wildfighter broke the silence and said, "Guild Leader Soul, if you do this you will make a permanent enemy of not only Zero Wing, but Violet Sword as well! Think about this!"
"That's right Soul! Netherworld Empire won't take this lying down! Are you willing to face the combined might of 3 superpowers?!" Carbon Cat added.
Lost Soul only sneered at them. "What is a Zero Wing, a Violet Sword, and Netherworld Empire! After today even Olympus Palace will be nothing infront of Mythology. You should feel honored to be the first to experience the new era!"
No one tried to rebuttal Lost Soul, they just couldn't. With this kind of power what force in God's Domain can possibly stop Mythology.
"Everyone go and capture my new city!"
The entire army charged forward. All that could be heared were the thunderous stomps of a demonic army about to overtake them.
They were able to beat back Infinite Sky and four other Super Guilds, but this .... this is just impossible.
As everyone resigned themselves to death, Shi Feng spoke up while shaking his head in clear pity.
"Guild Leader Soul, you have doomed your guild to destruction over a petty demon god. How tragic."
He then raised his hand. With a snap of his fingers Shi Feng activated the Sky Fusion Tower.
