Chapter 233: Guardian Battle
The rankings on the Merit Ranking List are changing very quickly today. Every time the page is refreshed, the nicknames on it change drastically.
Yan Shao and his friends were a mediocre gold-farming team. Their average level was less than level 5, and the park had previously had ticket restrictions. They considered this a part-time job, only coming to the park when they had free time and had managed to grab tickets to exercise and pick up some items to sell. Otherwise, they'd spend five days a week sitting in the office and their bodies would be ruined.
Since those below level 10 are not noticed by the special operations department and have no chance to know the truth about the world, they sincerely feel that they are here to have fun today.
After all, the city government has ordered companies to have three days off a week! If we don't take advantage of such a great opportunity, we'd be letting the country down!
So Yan Shao gathered a bunch of friends and came. Initially, they had their eyes on the million-dollar grand prize. It was a million! If the top ten split it equally, each person would get 100,000 yuan! Ordinary office workers like them couldn't save that much money in a year, but they could earn it just by playing a game. If they didn't push themselves, it would be a huge disrespect to the million-dollar jackpot!
Of course, after arriving at the event, the thoughts in their minds were quickly extinguished, because there were so many big guys here, too many!
As soon as this bunch of noobs, whose average level was less than five, entered the event, their Merit Ranking plummeted. Ten minutes ago, they were in the tens of thousands! Within a few minutes, they were already outside the hundred thousand!
"There are too many big guys today!"
"There are so many nicknames I've never seen before. Their points skyrocketed the moment they entered the game. Holy crap, this person was outside the top 100,000 just ten minutes ago! And now they're in the top 10,000! That's incredible!"
"Look at the Rising Stars list. They're all newcomers whose points have climbed rapidly in just a few days. It's terrifying! Did the big guys just change their accounts and start over?"
"You're overthinking it. Paradise's Merit List rankings are determined by ID. There's no way they could have changed their account, okay? Even if they changed their nicknames, you can still see the change history by clicking on their profile pictures. The profiles of those people on the Rising Stars List are so clean, there's not even a symbol to hide their change history. How could they have changed their accounts and started over?"
"Yeah, it's fine on other rankings, but only those who don't have any monster-killing records in Paradise can get on the Rising Star Ranking. Those who change their accounts can't get on at all."
Since the monster-killing mode in the park has a level limit, low-level players can only defeat low-level monsters, and it is impossible for the points to rise so quickly in a short period of time. So they discussed for a long time and came to the conclusion that this group of people must have used the evil power of money and must have spent a lot of money to buy good props in the park mall to achieve this result!
"It seems that the Rising Star List will become a money-spending list in the future." Yan Shao and others sighed, glanced at a nickname called "Don't bother me" on the Rising Star List, put down their phones and started to concentrate on killing monsters. Although there is no hope of winning a million-dollar prize, such a large event with hundreds of thousands of people participating is hard to come by, and the park is so generous, maybe they can get a few more props and make some extra money!

In the fantasy park, another monster with a level of over 30 emerged from the hole in the world barrier. With a loud bang, its huge body fell to the ground, causing a noticeable vibration.
Bishop Mo Fanwo had already taken off the robe of the Four Seasons Church. He was wearing the clothes of an ordinary tourist: a dark old man's shirt, a pair of knee-covering cropped trousers, and his hair tied back with a rope. At first glance, he was no different from an ordinary tourist.
Yet Bishop Mofanwo still stood out in the crowd. This wasn't because of his alien temperament, his high nose, deep eyes, or his foreign ancestry, but rather because every time he unleashed a skill, he could sap a significant portion of a monster's health, a force more powerful than the combined attacks of ten men. This drew the attention of those around him.
Seeing this high-level monster fall to the ground, Bishop Mo Fanwo raised his hands and quickly released a series of extraordinary skills by combining movements with incantations. The light of the skills bombarded the monster, causing it to roar angrily.
However, what shocked the high-level monster wasn't the rebellious former bishop, but the sheer number of Transcendents here. There were simply too many of them! And they weren't just weak Transcendents. At least the Transcendents in the paradise were all level 20 and above! There were so many of them, densely packed together. First, the high-level monster took a heavy blow from Bishop Mo Fanwo, and before it could react, it was attacked by a swarm of Transcendents above level 20!
Although there was a level difference of ten, the monster was still defeated unwillingly due to the huge difference in numbers!
"Kill the evil god! Long live the earth!" The warriors in the paradise shouted slogans one after another, and soon the voices gathered together. The huge momentum, firm determination, and indomitable courage made the monsters who expected them to retreat in fear extremely puzzled.
Why? Are the humans here not afraid of monsters at all?
Why? They can unite like that?
Impossible! Humans can't be brave!
Impossible! Humanity cannot unite!
The monsters' roars were mixed with a poison that polluted the mind. Many people found that their health bars were stained with a layer of dark green dots while fighting, and they quickly ran to the Sky Aquarium for treatment.
Someone noticed Mo Fanwo looking tired after defeating several monsters in a row, but he still insisted on staying there to fight monsters. So they pulled him out of the battlefield and invited him, "Come join us! Although you're a high level, you need to take a break after fighting for so long."
These extraordinary people who can enter the park to fight monsters are all above level 20. They know the truth about the world and come in with the determination to stop the big monster. However, no one has thought of the word "sacrifice". They cherish their own lives and cherish the defense line built for them by the park even more. Therefore, after seeing the abnormality in their health bars, they did not linger on and immediately withdrew from the battlefield and went to the Sky Aquarium for supplies.
Mo Fanwo looked at the place where monsters kept rushing out and said worriedly, "If we leave, what will we do with all these monsters?"
The person who invited him was very surprised. "What can we do? Of course, the people behind us will continue to bear the brunt of the burden!"
Behind? Mo Fanwo asked in surprise, "Could it be? There are reinforcements?"
The man nodded. "Of course. We lack everything here except people. Don't worry. Even if the tens of thousands of people here retreat, there will be plenty of replacements later."
These words shocked Mr. Mo Fanwo. When he was being pulled by that person to the Sky Oceanarium, he kept looking back and saw that the place he had just vacated had been taken by others. There were many extraordinary people who were in poor condition and went to the Sky Oceanarium together, but the vacancies after they left were quickly filled by others. When he looked back, he saw a crowd of people surging in the distance, densely packed and shoulder to shoulder, all of them were extraordinary people around level 20!
Even high-level transcendents have so many people, as if they can be replaced at any time. So how many powerful people are there, and how many lower-level transcendents are there? Although he has long known that the population of Earth is large, this is the first time that Mr. Mo Fanwo has realized so directly how terrifying this population is.
He thought with mixed feelings, it was a good thing, this world would not be like his hometown, becoming a toy for evil gods and monsters to play with at will.
They soon arrived at the Sky Aquarium, but when Mo Fanwo stood in front of the dragon car waiting station, he paused.
Under the Earthling's astonished gaze, Mo Fanwo whispered, "I don't know if we can go in." After all, the Paradise had previously allowed clergy like them to go anywhere within the park, but never to the Sky Oceanarium. There was an invisible barrier there, a warning from the Paradise's Lord. Furthermore, he had once been a bishop of the Church of the Evil God, a somewhat awkward position.
The man laughed, "Uncle, you don't even know if you can get in for treatment or supplies, yet you dare to go to the battlefield? You're really not afraid of dying!"
Mo Fanwo coughed unnaturally, and before he could say a few words to relieve the cough, the man pushed him gently into the dragon carriage waiting room. Entering this place for the first time, Mo Fanwo was stunned to see the people happily traveling on the transparent dome.
"Don't worry, uncle. The Lord of our paradise is very generous!"

From the hole in the deserted park of Paradise, monsters poured out continuously like a ball of dark and smelly water falling onto the land of Paradise. After the first wave of attack was thwarted, they quickly understood the filtering effect of the golden light. Humph, they didn't dare to let them fly out of the Paradise, which meant that the defense outside must be weak.
The human warriors in the paradise are too difficult to defeat. There are too many of them and they are not afraid of them. The only way they can rush out of the paradise and kill a group of ordinary people is to shock the people in this world. Only then can they gain energy from that fear!
A level 50 monster flapped its wings and, after sacrificing more than a dozen high-level monsters, finally forced a gap in the golden light. The gap would close again in less than a second, and within that second, it rushed out at the speed of light.
It spread its enormous wings above Taoyuan Street. At level 50, it was already qualified to run for Pope in the Church. This monster had certainly shed the cumbersome, unsightly appearance of lower-level monsters. It was a handsome human male, its golden hair gleaming against the gloomy sky. Three pairs of snow-white wings radiated a halo behind it, its holy appearance resembling a descending angel from myth.
The tourists who were clearing out low- and medium-level monsters on Taoyuan Street were all stunned by this scene. Those above level 10 showed vigilance and confusion, while those below level 10 screamed and cried out with beautiful special effects. The internet celebrities who were broadcasting live with equipment even aimed their cameras directly at this monster that didn't look like a monster.
“It’s so beautiful!”
"Is this based on the archangels in Western mythology?"
"Ahh, so pretty!"
The monster took in all these sounds. It proudly spread its arms and said shamelessly, "I am the Archangel Michael. Lost lambs, throw yourself into the arms of my Lord!"
This is the information the great gods learned from a crack in another world. Since the humans in this world believe so much in a non-existent false god, they will fabricate a lifelike body according to the legends of this world, cover it with a layer of this world's mythological skin, and seize the faith of this world!
Seeing the legendary angel descend, these ignorant humans will surely bow down in worship! This world will soon become the back garden of the great Lord God!
However, the monsters did not wait for the excitement and admiration of the humans, but only waited for...
"What is he saying? It's all gibberish and I can't understand."
"But he has a health bar!"
"Yeah, it has a really long health bar! If I kill it, it's bound to drop a high-level item!"
In a flash, countless skills were thrown at him.
The people in Taoyuan Street are all extraordinary people with a level above 10 and below 20. Some of them are reserve teams, waiting for the warriors in the park to go to the supply station and take over immediately. Of course, most of them are ordinary tourists who have a level 10 combat power by relying on extraordinary props.
There are tens of thousands of warriors in the park, and there are hundreds of thousands of them near Taoyuan Street. Everyone originally thought that the monsters released by the park were not high enough, and now when they see a high-level monster rushing out, they all think this is a good opportunity to earn points. Everyone is putting all their efforts into using their skills, for fear that if they are a step slower, others will snatch the points away. They are as active as students rushing to the cafeteria after school.
Under the siege of a terrifying number of extraordinary beings, this confident monster also fell.
Before disappearing, it vaguely heard some sounds.
"Hey, she's beautiful in appearance, but her expression is not well controlled. I thought I could see the devastation of a beautiful woman falling!"
"Yeah, he looked so gorgeous, but his expression was so ugly when he died."
Monster:...
It reluctantly breathed its last.
There are monsters desperately rushing out of the park, and of course there are also monsters trying to find a breakthrough in other parts of the park.
A group of high-level monsters abandoned the gate of paradise and did not charge at the human warriors who were more numerous than ants, but landed in a deserted strange land.
Some entered the Hundred Flowers Garden, some entered the Talent Cage, but more entered the world of collision.
The Lord God has explained that this is the divine domain of the Lord of Paradise, and they must destroy his divine domain here and reduce the power of the Lord of Paradise!
However, after entering the collision world, before they could start to cause destruction, a force seized them, and they fell uncontrollably into the rotating colorful toys and were forced to collide with other of their kind.
Then, the puppet opened its mouth wide and swallowed them one by one. After chewing and chewing, with a horrible sound of teeth gnashing, the big puppet burped and spit out a stream of black smoke.
