Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Taming Beasts and Declaring War



John couldn't help but marvel at the dominance the dark elves must have once held.

Unfortunately, now they had been nearly exterminated by the Dark Humans.

He shifted his gaze to the man's body on the altar. With a thought, the man's figure vanished, successfully stored within Death Land.

"It works!" John exclaimed in delight. He had discovered a new, powerful ability.

However, there was a caveat: the target must be unable to resist.

If they fought back fiercely, it would be impossible to store them in Death Land.

Ping!

John received a private message.

It's Ritchie.

Ritchie: "Boss, I got set up. I lost the artifact."

John frowned, his gaze turning icy.

He noticed that Ritchie's level had dropped to 1, sending him back to the novice village.

A first-tier player usually only dropped to level 10 upon death, avoiding demotion.

But multiple deaths could send them back to the novice village.

Godslayer: "Who did it?"

Ritchie: "Gaia! That bastard set me up. I was heading to the Imperial City to see them establish their city, but I got ambushed!"

John sighed, realizing this was partly his oversight.

The allure of the artifact was too strong. He had underestimated these players' desperation, still thinking with the mindset of his past life.

Godslayer: "Level up first. In two days, we'll take revenge."

In two days, Gaia would establish his city.

Having colluded with the Dark Humans, the monster tide attacking would be under their control, just for show. Success was assured.

But John planned to intervene.

Buzz!

With a flash of light, John activated the Death Land Token and entered Death Land.

The area was still shrouded in mist, with fierce winds howling.

However, John no longer took damage.

The body of the dark lord lay quietly nearby, emitting a faint aura but showing no other signs of activity.

John took a deep breath and ventured deeper into the mist.

Clang, clang...

The sound of chains clashing echoed, accompanied by furious roars.

John was stunned by the scene before him.

Deep in the mist, chains bound hundreds of powerful beings.

There were strong entities from various races and fearsome beasts, totaling over seven hundred, mostly ranging from tier four to tier six in strength.

Under four tier beings had likely been consumed by the eerie mist, leaving only bones behind.

John's arrival drew their attention.

Clang, clang...

Chains rattled, and a formidable aura filled the air, causing the surrounding mist to churn and twist!

"Let me go!"

"Despicable dark elves, once I'm free, I'll make you wish you were never born!"

"Filthy dark elves, your existence taints the elven race. I curse you to live in darkness, tormented by its embrace forever!"

...

The creatures spat insults and curses, their voices filled with rage and contempt.

"Huh, you're not a dark elf?" A massive, menacing blood-red demon wolf noticed John's difference and exclaimed.

"So it's a cute human." A seductive succubus with an alluring figure and charming looks winked at John and said seductively, "Human, free me from here, and I promise to repay you well!"

Clang!

The chains rattled as a snow-white, red-eyed demon ape nearly pressed its face against John's, speaking coldly, "Human, release me, and you will earn the protection of the Blood- Eyed Demon Apes!"

"Human, let me go, and I will kill one person for you, no, a hundred, even a thousand if you wish!"

"Little brother, save me. You don't want to see me trapped here forever, do you?"

"Boy, release me at once, or I'll devour you whole!"

...

Various pleas, temptations, and threats echoed around him.

John felt as if there were countless flies buzzing around his ears and roared, "Everyone shut

up!"

Several creatures frowned, glaring at John with malice.

"Let's go." John released the chains binding Avis and, with a thought, left Death Land.

...

Two days later.

Western Continent, Imperial City.

This was a newly established city.

Below the city walls, 100,000 players gathered.

Leading them was a tall white man, holding a giant shield and mounted on a massive earth

dragon.

Guild Master of the Imperial Guild, Gaia!

Gaia stroked the giant shield affectionately; this was the artifact he had taken from Ritchie,

the Diamond Giant Shield.

"If only my mount, this earth dragon, were an epic flying dragon," he thought, recalling the recently crowned top-ranked pet on the leaderboard, the black dragon Avis.

The owner of Avis was Godslayer, ranked second on the level leaderboard with two items on

the equipment leaderboard. His strength was undeniable. Unfortunately, this enigmatic figure refused all friend requests, making it impossible for Gaia to contact him.

Rumor had it that Godslayer was on good terms with Ritchie.

But after stealing Ritchie's artifact, they were now enemies. Asking Ritchie for help was out of

the question.

"Once I establish my territory, I'll be the first to have a domain. Then, I'll slowly track down

this Godslayer..." Gaia's mind buzzed with plans as he waited for the monster tide, ready to

make his mark. [Announcement: Player Gaia is establishing Imperial City and will face a monster tide attack.

Defend for 12 hours to succeed.]

...

Three consecutive system announcements echoed throughout the world of Gods.

It making Gaia and his Imperial City the center of attention.

Players gathered around Imperial City, eager to witness the event.

Gaia, filled with pride, wore a faint smile. He had already struck a deal with the lord of a level-

three city, ensuring that the monster tide wouldn't be too strong.

Roar ...

Roars echoed, and the ground trembled as the monster tide appeared.

They were level-five monsters typical of novice villages.

The Imperial Guild members were all level 20 and above, making these monsters no match for

them.

Standing atop his earth dragon, Gaia brandished his spear, exuding confidence. "Brothers,

today's battle will go down in history. We will witness the rise of the Imperial Guild together.

Charge with me!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

The hundred thousand guild members roared in unison, their war cries shaking the heavens.

The surrounding players felt chills down their spines.

Gaia led the charge, and the weak monster tide army was quickly decimated, crushed like dry

leaves.

...

In the forest behind the monster tide, a massive black dragon lay in wait, exuding a terrifying aura. Nearby beasts kept their distance, not daring to approach.

John and Ritchie sat atop a large tree, watching the battle unfold below. Ritchie frowned in disappointment, "Boss, this monster tide is too weak. I could handle it

myself. Besides, even with the black dragon, we can't take on the Imperial Guild's hundred

thousand elite members."

"Be patient," John replied, not paying much attention to the battle below. He leaned against

the tree, waiting for the right moment.

He planned to strike just as the monster tide ended, making Gaia experience the fall from

heaven to hell.

The monster tide continued, with the strongest enemies being level 15 kobolds. Soon, the 12 hours were almost up, and the defense was about to succeed. John decided it was time to act. He turned to the anxious Ritchie and said, "Declare war."

"Boss, it's just the two of us..." Ritchie's words trailed off as he felt an overwhelming

presence.

A spatial rift appeared, and powerful, menacing creatures began to emerge. The skies darkened, and the earth trembled!
