Seeing that the players of Genesis Guild were determined to defend the Dark Underground City to the death, Zhuge of Chaotic World immediately came to a conclusion, "Brother Jie, there has to be something important inside this city."
"We can't let this place go."
"Take it first. Once our rank requirements are high enough later, we'll go in and explore."
Hearing his strategist's words, Wang Junjie grinned, "Yoshi!"
"Brothers, kill them!"
"Wipe out every last Genesis dog!"
With Wang Junjie's order, the players of Chaotic World Guild drew their weapons and, without another word, charged at the Genesis players.
Left with no choice, Liu Kai clenched his teeth.
"Brothers, hold the line!"
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Amid flashing blades and colliding magic, the two guilds broke out into a full-scale battle outside the Dark Underground City.
At the same time, not far away, Ji Ningshuang hadn't expected Chaotic World Guild to suddenly show up and interfere.
"The commotion is getting bigger. It'll definitely alert Rulebound. We have to get into the city before he gets here."
As she spoke, a cold killing intent flashed across her icy eyes. With a sharp motion, she drew her blade and said to Nether, "Break through!"
The moment her words fell, a crimson glow burst from her body.
Entering full combat mode, Frost Dance gripped her daggers and transformed into a phantom as she charged toward the Dark Underground City ahead.
Nether also summoned a golden tome into his left hand and entered combat mode.
Meanwhile, the players of Divine Nation Guild quickly logged in and assembled.
Dragon Soul Guild also answered the call and joined up with Divine Nation.
Then, the combined army of several thousand players from the two guilds advanced toward the Dark Underground City in overwhelming force.
As wave after wave of players left the city, all heading in the same direction, the massive movement naturally drew the attention of countless bystanders both inside and outside the city.
"What the hell is going on tonight? One thing after another."
"Did some treasure appear outside the city? Did all these guilds get word and go treasure hunting?"
"Holy crap! Then I've got to go too! Maybe I'll get lucky and pick up something valuable. Overnight riches wouldn't be impossible!"
"Good point! I'm going too!"
So many unaffiliated players followed the crowd to join the excitement.
Offline, Lin Mo, Ning Xi, and Zhao Lingyun returned to the hotel just as the clock struck midnight.
The three immediately put on their helmets, connected to their computers, and logged into Oracle.

[Dark Underground City]
Chaotic World and Genesis were locked in a fierce battle.
In the end, Chaotic World was simply stronger.
Especially since the Genesis players had just gone through a brutal fight. During their battle against the level 70 Dark Demon Legion, they had already suffered heavy losses and expended plenty of resources.
Now, they had no strength left to stand against Chaotic World Guild's elite force.
As the battle raged, the Genesis players guarding the entrance were quickly overwhelmed and cut down, and the guild's position rapidly collapsed.
Meanwhile, Ji Ningshuang and Nether continued pushing toward the underground city.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
-56,384 (Critical)!
-58,334 (Critical)!
-59,113 (Critical)!
The level 62 Assassin Ji Ningshuang moved like a phantom through the crowd, striking with every swing.
Relying on her one-in-a-million S-rank talent, Deadly Critical, which guaranteed every attack would crit and increased the base critical damage multiplier to 200%, she dealt critical damage so outrageous that Chaotic World Guild's players were left reeling.
At this stage of the game, there was practically no third-class player around level 60 who could survive one of Ji Ningshuang's critical strikes.
Wherever she went, white lights rose one after another.
At the same time, Nether activated multiple talents from the rear.
A-rank Undead Summoning!
A-rank Attack Boost!
A-rank Defense Boost!
A-rank HP Boost!
A-rank Damage Boost!
More than a dozen A-rank talents gathered on him, making him unbelievably powerful.
The dozen or so level 62 Skeleton Warriors he summoned were unstoppable.
Even Chaotic World Guild's elites couldn't withstand the Skeleton Warriors' damage and were cut down into white light one after another.
Not only did they hit hard, but the Skeleton Warriors were incredibly tough.
So tough that Chaotic World Guild's players could barely hurt them at all.
With over a dozen Skeleton Warriors clearing the way, Chaotic World Guild's players simply couldn't stop them.
Nether and Ji Ningshuang advanced as if no one stood in their way, moving straight toward the underground city without obstruction.
Seeing this, Ji Ningshuang's cold eyes showed a trace of admiration for Nether for the first time.
"Looks like you're actually pretty capable. I underestimated you before."
Just as the two of them were about to reach the entrance, the situation changed.
Genesis had already been struggling to hold back Chaotic World's assault, at that exact moment, several more forces suddenly joined the battle from the outskirts.
Golden Age, Ironblood and Blood Dance.
Each of the three guilds had two to three thousand players.
As the three guilds closed in from all directions, the Genesis players instantly felt as though the sky had fallen.
"Young Master Wang, we're here to help," Han Ruoxi personally led Blood Dance Guild's players into the battle.
Watching Han Ruoxi, a Sharpshooter with long flowing hair and a graceful figure, shoot down Genesis players with her crystal bow as she ran toward him, Wang Junjie was completely captivated.
At that moment, the image of his goddess Ruoxi finally became real in his eyes.
"Holy crap! A fairy descending to the mortal world!"
"Beautiful! So beautiful!"
"I, Wang Junjie, will marry no one but Ruoxi in this lifetime!"
Meanwhile, Nether and Ji Ningshuang had nearly broken through Chaotic World Guild's encirclement and were about to enter the city.
But then, Blood Dance, Ironblood, and Golden Age arrived. They quickly wiped out the Genesis defenders guarding the city gate and took control of the entrance.
Looking at the countless enemies outside the gate, Ji Ningshuang frowned.
"Damn it!"
"How does Rulebound have so many allies?"
No matter how fierce the dozen Skeleton Warriors were, they simply couldn't break through the solid defensive line formed by Chaotic World, Blood Dance, Ironblood, and Golden Age.
Nether was completely blocked as well, making every step forward difficult.
"There are too many of them."
Turning to Ji Ningshuang, Nether said, "Why not have your godfather find us more reinforcements?"
Ji Ningshuang's eyes lit up, "Good idea! I'll contact Godfather right now!"
———
On the outskirts, led by Ling Xue and Dragon Soul Aoshi, the combined forces of Divine Nation and Dragon Soul arrived at the battlefield.
When they saw Genesis Guild being surrounded and beaten by Chaotic World, Blood Dance, Ironblood, and Golden Age, Lin Miaomiao folded her arms across her chest, accentuating her full figure.
"It looks like they don't even need our help anymore."
The magic caster He Xiao raised his staff, "Since we're already here, we might as well kill a few."
Sun Yang rested his wooden club on his shoulder, "Then let's finish this quickly."
Just as the players of Divine Nation and Dragon Soul were about to join the battle, suddenly—
Ding!
Ling Xue received an encrypted text message from offline.
