…

The announcement dropped like a bombshell during WW2.

After 6 months of development, most players were close if not already at the Grade E realm which was the peak development for players in version 1.

For those who were already at the Grade E realm, their focus was now on amassing on different class exclusive goodies like class knowledge and weapons. All these were in their preparations for the climax of version 1.

Those players who loved delving deeper into the storyline already made numerous theories during the past 6 months of the game.

Most of the theories were outlandish, but some of them were reasonable and was why most of the players were preparing for the epic clash.

Like in most recent VR games, the climax of every version was a goldmine for players. If they played their cards well to fully participate in the climax of the version, they were liable to reap plenty rewards.

And since the first pro tournament would follow after Version 1's end, the pro players were much more enthusiastic about preparing in advance.

Despite the many theories from the theorists though, none of them speculated that the Clown Revolution would kick off so suddenly and unexpectedly. The announcement came so abruptly that for some time, no player could react.

It was only when the chaos started that they could finally react.

The player forum exploded.

>Multiple players are typing…<

>Sus Lord: Holy Sh*t! Is this for real?<

>Mashed Potato Lord: Is it really happening? F*ck, I'm so hyped!<

>Horny Assassin: Damn! I didn't expect this, but the Pugilist Academy fell? Is that even possible? I thought they were part of the main organizations<

>Your Father: My gosh! I can't believe it; a main organization fell!<

>Your Father: Sh*t man, this version climax is going to be exciting!<

>Sus Lord: Where's that f*cking All-knowing theorist?! I thought you said Jon Stones was likely version 1's main character, where the f*ck are you?<

>All-knowing Theorist: Son, theories are called theories for a reason, they are unverified speculations. It is completely normal for a theory to be wrong<

>Sus Lord: F*ck you and your theories!<

Despite the banter in the player forum, one thing was true and that was that Planet Darvis was already thrown into chaos.

In the Dragon Shelter, Raining Sword and his teammates were stunned.

Representing Legolas's faction, Legolas allowed them to represent him in the headquarters of the Hunter Union. They witnessed it from afar as a literal Red Dragon burst out and razed the Dragon Tower to the ground.

They also witnessed it as chaos overtook the Dragon Shelter.

All around them, hunters rushed into the shelter to calm the chaos.

"Captain, which mission are we taking?"

Raining Sword's eyes flashed as he took another look at all 4 missions, like the others, he already recognized that this was a once in a gametime opportunity.

Any of the 4 missions that they took, so long that they performed well, they were liable to come out of it with a lot of experience points and other rewards.

He secretly took a glance at his rivals.

Desert Gust was not even speculating, this skillful player rapidly tapped at his virtual interface as he selected his own from the 4 missions.

Without hesitation, he and his players rushed into the streets.

With his massive Berserker Blade, Desert Gust led the retaliation for his teammates as they clashed against the rampaging gangsters in the shelter.

Seeing their choice, Raining Sword already more or less also made his choice.

He turned to face his teammates. "We must remain in Legolas's good grace".

"I don't know if version 1 will be concluded today, everything is happening so fast but it doesn't matter, all we need to do is flow with the tide".

"We'll be taking Mission 2…" Raining Sword paused as a silhouette flashed across his vision, rapidly charging into the Glory Dome.

It took only a few seconds for this familiar figure to charge back out.

"Awoo…!!!"

Leo's howl reverberated through the air like rumbling thunder.

With a serious expression on his face, Christensen rode Leo into the streets alongside the combative leader of the hunters. General Toothpick directly led the charge this time, they were not out to save the civilians, they were after the root.

They intended to root out the hidden cells of the Clown Society.

Raining Sword's eyes flashed. "Change of plans…"

"We're taking Mission 3".
