In the Godsin Continent, Lower Realm, Central City.
Central City was a fragment world presented in the form of a grand city-state. It covered a vast area and was home to millions of Godsin residents, along with countless people from other fragment worlds who came here to conduct business. It was the most bustling place in the entire Lower Realm.
On a wide main street, an exquisitely carved luxurious carriage adorned with flowers slowly moved forward. People on both sides of the road quickly stepped aside to make way. In Central City, only a handful of people could afford to ride such a carriage. Whoever was inside must hold an extraordinary status.
The carriage finally stopped in front of a lavish tavern named “Ryan’s Home”. This was one of the few truly upscale taverns in Central City. Those who could afford to spend here were also extremely few.
The carriage door opened. Four beautiful attendants, all around sixteen or seventeen years old, jumped down first. They had delicate, almost feminine features. Yet compared to the elegantly dressed man who stepped out next, they seemed utterly ordinary.
“It’s Niga from the Amethyst Flower World!”
“The most handsome man in the Lower Realm!”
People nearby whispered in low voices.
Two of the four attendants went to the back of the carriage, took out a roll of red carpet, and began spreading it across the street bit by bit. The street itself was already very clean, but as the most handsome man in the Lower Realm, Niga did not want his feet to touch the ground directly.
The other two attendants brought out two flower baskets filled with Amethyst Flower petals. They started tossing the petals into the air, releasing a distinctive fragrance of Amethyst Flowers that drifted all around.
The Amethyst Flower symbolised nobility and beauty. The Amethyst Flower World was named after it.
The handsome man Niga stepped down from the carriage and walked along the red carpet under countless shocked and awed gazes toward Ryan’s Home. One attendant hurriedly took out a low-grade wind-element magic scroll from his robes, tore it open, and a gentle breeze began swirling around Niga. The petals danced around his body, his hair fluttered, and the hem of his robe swayed lightly. He looked breathtakingly beautiful.
For a moment, everyone around was stunned by the spectacle and could not utter a single word.
But just then, with a creak, the face of the attendant spreading the carpet changed dramatically. The rolled-up carpet had somehow jammed and would not unroll further. The attendant nervously glanced at Niga.
Niga’s body stiffened slightly. His eyebrow twitched, and anger began to brew on his face.
The onlookers immediately showed awkward expressions.
The two attendants hurriedly fixed the carpet. Moments later, it was back to normal and successfully laid out all the way to the entrance of Ryan’s Home.
Niga gave those two attendants a somewhat displeased look before finally stepping into the tavern.
The interior of the tavern was lavishly decorated, but there were not many people inside. Only a select few in Central City could afford such a place. Niga scanned the room with one glance and immediately spotted his targets.
At a table further inside, a burly, hairy man who looked like a wild bear was sitting together with a short-haired woman. Although her face was strikingly beautiful and妖艳, she also exuded a powerful, intimidating aura. Leaning against the short-haired woman was another slender, pretty girl who forced a smile.
Noticing the mess of food and wine cups on the table, a trace of disdain flashed across Niga’s face. Still, he walked over and sat down on one side of the table.
“Niga, you’re still as flashy as ever. Wherever you go, you have to bring your flower boys.” The wild-bear-like man said in a rough voice while tearing into a piece of meat.
“Hmph, I’m different from you crude fellows.” Niga replied mockingly, gently wiping his face with a silk handkerchief.
“You’re even prettier than my woman, Niga. How about you consider becoming a woman? I’d take good care of you.” The short-haired woman teased. She reached over and boldly pinched the cheek of the pretty girl beside her, letting out a frivolous laugh.
“Satan’er, you crude woman. Even if I were to become a woman, I would never like you.” Niga said coldly.
The woman named Satan’er was momentarily stunned. Even… if he were to become a woman?
“You called me here. It can’t be just to invite me for drinks and food, right? You know I never eat such filthy things. Tell me, what exactly is the matter?” Niga did not want to waste words with these two and went straight to the point.
“A newcomer has just arrived in the Godsin Continent recently. He’s very strong and extremely arrogant!” The wild-bear-like man put down the greasy bone, wiped his mouth carelessly with his hand, and spoke with clear disdain.
“An arrogant and powerful newcomer?” Niga’s face showed disgust, unclear whether he was disgusted by the wild bear man’s greasy fingers or by the newcomer himself. He said, “What’s so special about that?”
“You haven’t heard the news yet? This newcomer somehow possesses a power that makes him immune to Heavenly Punishment lightning. Just a few hours ago, he killed people from Windless City and Kane City at the Heavenly Ladder Plaza. He even declared that from now on, people from those two fragment worlds are forbidden from entering Central City.” Satan’er said with a cold laugh. “What a huge boast. Even our alliance of Amethyst Flower, Bloodland, and Black Dragon Pool doesn’t have that kind of audacity, to ban two entire fragment worlds with just one sentence. This newcomer really has gone too far!”
In the Lower Realm, Black Dragon Pool ranked second among fragment worlds, Bloodland ranked third, and Amethyst Flower ranked fifth.
They were all god-level worlds. Their alliance was known as the Blood Dragon Flower Alliance, and its power was immense!
A cold glint flashed in Niga’s eyes. “This newcomer makes me very annoyed… But a newcomer? One who just finished the initial trial? If I remember correctly, the Mad Beast Bien from Windless City also participated in this initial trial, didn’t he? He couldn’t kill that newcomer?”
“Hmph, that kid dares to call himself Mad Beast, but he’s just a coward. I heard he died at the hands of that new guy’s daughter, a little girl who looks only three or four years old.” The wild bear man sneered.
The wild bear man came from Black Dragon Pool World and was its top hunter. His nickname was Mad Bear Yagan.
Bien daring to call himself Mad Beast had always annoyed him.
Speaking now, his tone carried obvious mockery. Everyone knew that Windless City and Amethyst Flower World had always been close. One could even say Windless City was dependent on Amethyst Flower. The death of Mad Beast Bien and the banning of Windless City was definitely not something the perfection-obsessed Niga could tolerate.
“Damn it!” Niga exploded in anger and slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang. He then took several deep breaths to calm himself, rubbed his temples, and said in a low voice, “So you called me here to deal with this newcomer? He’s strong, but he doesn’t deserve the entire Blood Dragon Flower Alliance to join forces against him. If word gets out, it won’t sound good.”
“This newcomer must be eliminated. I heard he’s already very powerful in the outside world. Immunity to Heavenly Punishment is just one aspect of his power. If he unlocks more of it, he might threaten us.” Satan’er said seriously. “We need to deal with him, but we don’t have to act personally. Windless City and Kane City are preparing to jointly invade the Stan Town where he is.”
“Dealing with that trash world? I alone would be enough, but I have no interest in such garbage.” Mad Bear Yagan grinned ferociously.
“What exactly are you planning?” Niga asked. He knew these two must have already discussed a plan.
“The [Bridge Builders] of Windless City and Kane City want to forcibly build a [Bridge] to Stan Town. It will take at least three days. During that time, the newcomer will surely prepare defences. To avoid any accidents, we decided to send our own [Bridge Builders] to assist them. That way, they can force open the bridge to Stan Town in just half an hour!” Satan’er explained. “My Bloodland World and Yagan’s Black Dragon Pool World have already dispatched fifty [Bridge Builders] to Windless City.”
“Good.” Niga nodded, then turned to one of the flower boys standing nearby. “Lumi, go back to Amethyst Flower now. Dispatch thirty [Bridge Builders] to Windless City to assist them in opening the [Bridge]!”
“Yes, Lord Niga, the most handsome man in the Godsin Continent.” The flower boy named Milu quickly accepted the order and left.
“This way, we only need to wait one hour before we can completely destroy that Stan Town.” Mad Bear Yagan laughed, grabbed another piece of roast meat, and began devouring it heartily.
Satan’er also started teasing the pretty woman beside her.
Niga covered his mouth with a handkerchief, had an attendant bring him a cup of the unique Amethyst Flower wine from his world, and began sipping it slowly.
With just a few words, they had decided the fate of an entire fragment world. This was the dominance of god-level world overlords!
“By the way, don’t you want to know the name of that newcomer?” Yagan asked at that moment.
“No need.”
Niga savoured the sweet aftertaste of the Amethyst Flower wine and said coldly with a smile, “I’m not interested in the names of dead people.”
…
In the Stan Town fragment world.
Old Merlin was listening to Serti explain the mysteries of Dragon Language with rapt attention. As early as during the initial trial, Serti had already told Silis, Green, and Ye Chui about the thirty-two characters of Dragon Language. Green and Ye Chui did not mind hearing it again now. Old Merlin looked extremely excited, his body trembling slightly. From time to time, he let out exclamations like “So that’s how it is”, “It turns out to be like this…”, “I misunderstood before”, “So profound!”, “The Magic Emperor and the God of the Gods are both geniuses!”
Time passed like that for more than half an hour.
Ye Chui was not particularly interested in Dragon Language, but he still listened attentively.
The distant banquet was still in full swing. At that moment, Ye Chui suddenly saw Debbie, Guni, and Salome staggering over. Their faces were flushed red. They had clearly drunk too much and were quite intoxicated.
Debbie was holding a heavy Gatling gun in her arms. Guni and Salome were each carrying one of the weapons Ye Chui had given them, a shotgun and a submachine gun respectively.
They were also wearing the bulletproof vests, helmets, and other protective gear Ye Chui had exchanged for them, with backpacks full of mana scrolls and healing scrolls on their backs.
“What are you doing? How much did you drink just now?” Ye Chui frowned and walked toward the three girls.
In terms of age, Debbie, Guni, and Salome were all still minors, and Ye Chui himself was also a minor. However, on the Castro continent, teenagers usually started drinking from around fifteen years old. Ye Chui normally did not restrict them from drinking, and they themselves did not particularly like alcohol. But now they seemed to have overdone it, and their minds were probably foggy.
“We didn’t drink that much. I’m not drunk at all.” Debbie swayed and leaned into Ye Chui’s arms.
Guni and Salome leaned against each other, giggling foolishly for some reason.
“You should go back and rest quickly. You must feel uncomfortable like this.” Ye Chui said gently.
“We don’t want to rest!” Guni shouted loudly.
“Right, no resting!” Debbie nodded with drunken, misty eyes. “We’re going to charge into Windless City right now and wipe them all out!”
“Wipe them out, wipe them out!” Salome waved her small fists and shouted. Because she moved too vigorously, she suddenly lost balance and fell to the ground with a thud. She looked dazed, hugged the big gun again, climbed back up, and muttered in confusion, “Huh, why is the ground spinning…”
Ye Chui stared speechlessly at the three petite girls. He called out to Silis and Resa in the distance to come take care of them. Silis had the highest alcohol tolerance, and Resa was naturally gifted with an iron stomach. These three had definitely been plied with drinks by those two.
Silis was currently drinking with old acquaintances from Stan Town. Hearing Ye Chui’s call, she responded and started walking over with a bottle in hand.
Ye Chui helped the three girls gather together and turned to head toward Serti’s Dragon Language lecture.
At that moment, a pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky and landed right beside Debbie and the other two girls!
The ground was instantly branded with rows of magic characters.
Another world had forcibly established a [Bridge]!
“It’s Windless City!” Cass, as the master of Stan Town, could sense a lot of information. He immediately cried out in alarm.
“What? Windless City came so quickly!” Ye Chui was also shocked.
But what shocked him even more were Debbie, Guni, and Salome.
“Windless City dares to come straight to us!”
“Kill them!”
“Rat-tat-tat them to death!”
The three drunken girls shouted chaotically while waving their weapons and charged straight into the pillar of light.
The [Bridge] was bidirectional. Their bodies were almost instantly teleported away.
“Holy crap!” Ye Chui exclaimed.
From inside the bridge’s pillar of light came the sound of rapid gunfire mixed with faint screams. By the time Ye Chui rushed to the pillar, the light suddenly dimmed and went out completely…
