Beneath the monunt, Li Changhe personally took up the blade and decapitated thirty-nine human traitors.
The players’ hideous true colors were laid bare as, with each head that fell, they went from threats, to pleas for rcy, to desperate curses, and so even crazily shouted for the Chaos Evil God’s salvation. To survive, they were willing to yield themselves to Chaos.
However, no Chaos Evil Gods ca to their aid. Perhaps the communication was cut off by the psychic storm, or maybe the presence of Li Changhe made the Chaos Evil Gods unwilling to bother.
Not until the very last player, who had completely despaired and frenziedly cursed Li Changhe, was beheaded. The execution concluded.
Under the gaze of the heroic spirits, in the presence of the Great Wall and Winter Palace’s indifference, thirty-nine heads were offered in a blood sacrifice.
And those Black Palace and Round Table players who, for so reason, had not actually withdrawn from the defense line and had steadfastly held their ground, thereby escaping the scourge, were ashen-faced.
They saw their comrades dying but dared not express any stance.
As forr dominators, they now had to lay low in the face of an even more violent entity.
And quietly passed on the ssage from Li Changhe to the distant Tyrant Washington,
"Either he cos looking for himself, or send his head over!"
What an arrogant statent! To even dare to address an official commander of a major task in such a manner.
But... it was also a very real threat.
Because Li Ba truly had the power to block the path of the Black Palace from reaching Demigod status!
Major tasks are often the most rewarding and are important tasks carried out by several official forces in conjunction.
If a player wanted to beco a Demigod, then the major world tasks were the best and optimal choice.
And if Li Ba were to, at all costs, slaughter the Black Palace and Round Table players involved in the major tasks.
Then they would really find it difficult to achieve Demigod status.
No matter how talented the powerful are, without entering the Mythical State or Demigod State, facing Li Ba would essentially an certain death.
Of course, they could also try to band together to kill Li Ba, thus escaping danger. After all, even Demigods have been ambushed and killed.
But if players persistently band together during the major world tasks, they are likely to reap little benefit.
If Li Ba never shows up, are they supposed to simply abandon the task?
But what counterasures could the Black Palace have?
Li Ba isn’t even one of the Great Wall players! Could they go to war with the Great Wall?
Could they let a Demigod directly go into Hua Country’s territory to cause trouble for Li Ba?
"It really is satisfying," the Winter Palace player, the Sixth Devil King and Veterans of the Country responded, "After all, it’s fitting for soone who has beco a Devil King like them, I quite admire it."
"Cut it out," Chen Guang grinned, "Aside from becoming a Devil King a bit earlier than he did, where do you compare to my disciple? You haven’t even unlocked the Mythical State."
Both defined by the outside world as Devil Kings, one slaughtered tens of thousands in a World War II task, and the other directly nuked the opposition’s Demigod Divine Country in a conflict task.
As Devil Kings, they were sowhat familiar with each other.
"I’m close to it. But it’s hard to say for you, as a usurper, your throne is unstable. By the ti I beco a Demigod, you probably won’t have unlocked the Demigod State," responded the Sixth Devil King. "Still, is Li Ba really going to be okay doing this? Black Palace is known for fighting dia wars. Moreover, with Tyrant Washington having unlocked the Mythical State and not far from becoming a Demigod, would the Black Palace give up on him?"
"It’s exactly what they preach, ’survival of the fittest.’ They can sanction countries struck by earthquakes, preventing other nations’ rescue teams and supplies from helping in disaster relief—because of their and their allies’ strength. By the sa token, if Li Ba can threaten them, it’s because he has the corresponding strength!" Chen Guang replied. "Be it a dictator or a Devil King, as long as he remains the strongest below the Demigods, the Black Palace has no choice but to hold back! Right now, the only one qualified to challenge the strongest under the Demigods is only the Human Emperor Wuji, who has also unlocked the Demigod State. What can the Black Palace use to act tough? Just watch, if Tyrant Washington’s head isn’t delivered before the task ends, Li Ba will actually go and find him! Regardless of how Tyrant Washington tries to justify himself, the higher-ups in Black Palace will make him die."
"I’m not well-acquainted with the Seventh Devil King. Is he really like that, or did he suddenly beco aware of the rights of the strongest below a Demigod?" asked the Sixth Devil King.
"Being burned once too often makes one cautious. Naturally, he has to toughen up," Chen Guang replied indifferently. "Moreover, this can even encourage cooperation among players in major world tasks. The Aricans have been misbehaving for a long ti within the tasks, often backstabbing others. With the deterrent of Li Ba, they will be a lot more restrained. Unless Li Ba becos a Demigod, or they produce soone capable of contending with Li Ba, they won’t break free from this vicious cycle."
Additionally, glancing at the Supre King who was also watching the execution from afar.
Li Changhe’s personality was sowhat different from that of the Supre King, but the choices they were making now were similar.
Li Changhe uses his personal strength as a deterrent, establishing autocracy among the players, compelling the Black Palace and Round Table to act according to his will, concentrating human players’ strength.
Whereas the Supre King established the Extraordinary Alliance, rallying almost all the Transcendents, and secretly eliminating dissident voices that hinder the alliance’s growth, thereby concentrating human strength in one place.
The difference between the two was nothing more than one using brute force and the other a gentle approach. Fundantally, there was no change.
