"Invincible Black Whirlwind, I beg you to acknowledge me as your master, please... please spare my life... I'm willing to bring Region 03 to become your subordinate resource zone..."
The Shinto saintess finally abandoned all her pride, prostrating herself on the ground in exchange for the last shred of possibility to continue living...
The young master chef turned to look at Qi Xu, who immediately shook his head, "No need."
Although agreeing directly might have made taking over the three major regions faster, the methods weren't ruthless enough...
Becoming a subordinate resource zone is easy; the difficulty lies in making the players within it completely lose heart, abandon any thought of resistance, and learn to obey without bloodshed or resorting to any means.
If she's so indecisive about conquering a server, then there's no point in talking about destroying it. She needs to be ruthless, and besides, she deserves to die!
Without hesitation, the young chef quickly threw the bomb in his hand at the Shinto saintess...
Amidst the deafening roar, debris and shockwaves surged wildly. Amidst the billowing dust, the young chef squinted and made out the staggering figure retreating.
All the vines and leaves on the Shinto saintess's body had been blown to smithereens, and her entire body was now covered with charred burn marks, with a streak of bright red blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
The young master chef exclaimed in surprise, "They're still alive?"
The Shinto priestess was quite polite; in response to the young master's question, she abruptly fell backward, her head slamming hard against the ground, turning into a pool of blood...
Only when all life was completely extinguished did Qi Xu withdraw his attention, finally preventing him from escaping again and again like a murderer.
Many players in Zone 3 have given up hope, and the God of Grass and Trees is their faith, so they can quickly unite when they encounter problems.
But when this Shinto saint died, the bulwark of faith that had sustained their resistance crumbled in an instant.
Even those who stood up, clamoring for revenge for the saintess, were few and far between; they were all stunned, tears streaming down their faces, as if the sky had fallen...
They didn't even consider that the 03 region hadn't lost yet and still had a chance to turn things around, which led to a situation where no one was willing to go up and compete, and the entire 03 region had lost all fighting spirit.
The 100-match competition had barely begun, yet it had already become a complete one-man show. The players in the three major regions of Zero and Three were now like spineless creatures, huddled in the crowd, unwilling to even lift their heads.
Qi Xu seized the opportunity and accelerated the process. At this point, if he dared to be soft-hearted even once, he would face countless more troubles. Once some paths are embarked on, there is no turning back.
After all the high-powered players in the "Slaying the Path" event have made their appearances, there are still 62 battles remaining.
They started arranging for elite players from other regions to prepare for the match. Although Qi Xu also wanted to give his own people a chance, at this point, they really couldn't afford to lose a single game.
The demoralized players from Region 03, facing off against the confident and increasingly excited top players from the Chinese server, had absolutely no chance of winning.
Occasionally, a few who had hidden tricks up their sleeves and were not simple, were given the most suitable opponents by Wang Buyu, thanks to his advance warning.
So they easily won 100 battles, completely opening up the cross-server invasion channel!
Many ordinary players in Zone 03 were unaware that the Shinto saintess had already perished. Following their previous instructions, they gathered in a dark mass on the open ground outside the passage, their eyes filled with unwavering certainty of "divine protection."
As the Chinese server's teams emerged from the smoke-filled, eerily blue, electric passage, the crowd erupted in a deafening roar of battle cries.
Armed with machetes, iron bars, and some even clutching sharpened wooden sticks, they charged forward with bloodshot eyes, like a raging wildfire ready to engulf the "invaders" before them.
"Fight your way out! Defend our territory!"
"The Holy Maiden will protect us!"
The roars were so loud they hurt people's eardrums, but the players who rushed to the front were knocked to the ground by the smoke bombs thrown by Qi Xu as soon as they reached the Chinese server team.
Acrid white smoke billowed and spread, scattering the players' formations in Zone 3.
Players in region 999 have been itching to play for a long time.
I wasn't qualified for the previous 100 battles, but now I finally have a chance to get revenge!
Even so, not a single person acted impulsively. They gripped their weapons tightly, their knuckles turning white from the force, their eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, yet they stubbornly refrained from taking even half a step forward.
They maintained an orderly formation at all times, always ready to attack.
After this period of training and honing my skills, I've come to realize that in survival games, obeying orders is the first principle for survival.
Qi Xu finally smiled and said, "The transformation is successful."
At the forefront of the group, after receiving Qi Xu's signal to launch an attack, War Wolf 006 didn't waste any words and simply shouted in a deep voice, "All personnel in Region 999, listen to my command!"
"Target: Zero Third District!" Wolf Warrior 006's voice carried the force of thunder and lightning, causing the ground to tremble slightly. "Kill!"
A deafening roar pierced the sky as players from Region 999, like untamed beasts, charged towards the group of players from Region 03 who were still struggling frantically in the smoke.
Led by a group of powerful individuals, the people of Region 999 were unstoppable and quickly scattered the troops gathered by Region 03.
Qi Xu didn't feel very happy; instead, a vague and inexplicable sense of unease rose in his heart.
It's not that I enjoy killing, but I'm being pushed along by reality.
Small-scale retaliations are ineffective; the other side will continue to target you and make small moves behind your back. But when a large-scale operation is accomplished, it is built on the foundation of countless lives lost.
Qi Xu knew he hadn't done anything wrong. In this cutthroat survival game, mercy was the deadliest poison; only ruthlessness, only by utterly crushing the enemy, could one survive, and lead everyone around them to survival...
Looking at the blood-red scene, Qi Xu told himself once again, "I did nothing wrong! If I don't act now, these people will become executioners who slaughter all the players in the Chinese server!"
