Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Moreover, in order to gain greater strength and achieve victory in the war, it is natural to unite a group of people firmly and give them what they want.

Of course, sometimes things go wrong, with both sides suffering heavy losses, or a third party reaping the benefits – these are not uncommon occurrences.

At least for the people in the lower city, the outbreak of war was not a bad thing; on the contrary, it was something they had been looking forward to for a long time.

If I hold power but am still subordinate to others, then my professional level advancement has been in vain.

Under the deliberate guidance of the War King, the professionals in the lower city also felt a desire to break free from their cage.

Not to mention the influence of the abyss's aura, which already made the people in the lower city somewhat extreme.

"It's just the Upper City district, who's afraid of who?"

"After this war, they will never again be able to stand on their laurels and ride roughshod over us!"

"Killing one is enough to make a profit, killing two is a huge bonus..."

The will to fight was stirred up, and even the distant abyss rifts became brighter, as if something was gathering strength.

The people in War King City were eagerly awaiting the start of the war.

Boom...

As if the sky had collapsed, six terrifying auras appeared in front of War King City, making the people in the city feel like they couldn't breathe.

Stimulated by the powerful aura, the runes on the Battle King City instantly lit up, resisting the impact of the aura.

"Hmm, not bad, a war fortress. There are some technologies I don't even understand. This war fortress is for the Jack family." The Jack family patriarch, piloting a metal humanoid war machine, looked at the War King City ahead and his eyes lit up.

"However, the technique is still quite crude. It seems that they have indeed obtained an unknown legacy." The Jack family patriarch looked around War King City, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.

"War King City is yours, and all the people inside belong to me!" said the patriarch of the Sai'er family.

"The War King belongs to me, but I was the one who recommended him to the lower city, so I should be the one to clean up the mess," said the Stan family patriarch.

Although the Upper City is controlled by six major families, it is not purely a family residence due to the Lower City, but rather a large city that is more like a united entity.

Besides the members of the six major families, there were also a large number of merchants and travelers coming and going, as well as people who settled here.

The six major families did not ignore these people; on the contrary, they deliberately recruited these outsiders.

Whether it's becoming part of the family or supplementing the surrounding forces, both are good choices.

It's somewhat similar to the position of outsiders or guest retainers; as long as no one of the gold level emerges, they cannot threaten the status of the six major families.

The War King was one of them. He had lived in the Upper City since childhood and joined the forces of the six major families, which is how he gained his former strength.

"Then I need the technology from the Dream World. My Lei family is exactly lacking something of note." The Lei family patriarch set his sights on the virtual world technology of the Lower City.

After all, Captain Lei specifically mentioned the underlying technology.

"And the ruins of the lower city..."

The patriarchs of the six great golden families descended upon the lower city. Although they had not yet made a move, they had already begun discussing how to divide the spoils afterward.

They wouldn't have needed to take action against a mere downtown area if they didn't know there was some significant profit to be made.

Now, with six Gold-level experts joining forces, they can not only conquer the lower city, but also build another Blackwater City.

"It came so fast!"

As soon as the six family patriarchs arrived, the War King sensed their presence and flew to the city wall, gazing at the six gold-level beings in the distance.

"War King, surrender!" The Stan family patriarch saw the War King appear and spoke directly.

"With your strength, as long as you are willing to surrender, we will forgive your past mistakes and treat you with high honors."

Sensing the aura of the War King, the Stan family patriarch also considered recruiting him.

“Stan, this War King is only one step away from us. Aren’t you afraid that he will break through one day and then turn against his master?”

An elder warned that in the Upper City, anyone outside the six major families who might break through to the Gold level would be subject to a joint attack from them.

Even if someone from another family is likely to break through, the other families will secretly try to trip them up, let alone other people.

After all, it's a small place with limited resources, so the fewer strong individuals there are, the better, while the more of their own people are, the better.

"Heh, just trying to trick him," the Stan family patriarch said nonchalantly.

"war!"

However, the only response from the many ancestors was the War King's fierce fighting spirit.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

Having been humiliated, the Stan family patriarch's expression was not good, and he could even feel the mockery in the eyes of the other five people around him.

"Let's do it together!"

The next moment, the six Gold-level Ancestors launched an attack on the Battle Royal City.

The immense power completely covered the entire War King City, with the intention of wiping them all out.

"Array up!"

Despite being besieged by six top-tier experts, the War King remained fearless. Following the pre-determined plan, he mobilized the power of the professionals within the city through the Dream Realm to fully activate the formation engraved in War King City.

In an instant, countless small formations converged, gradually forming a formation that encompassed the entire War King City. Finally, countless forces condensed onto the War King.

The terrifying power amplified his body, causing the War King's form to contort slightly. Clearly, even with his Silver-level physique, he couldn't fully withstand this power.

However, formations themselves are the strongest means of gathering power, and even if they cannot be used perfectly, they can still bridge the power gap between silver and gold levels.

With the support of the entire War King City, the War King is now no less powerful than the patriarchs of various families.

Faced with the menacing War King, the six family patriarchs also looked extremely solemn. Fortunately, they had anticipated this, which is why all six of them attacked together.

Even a true Gold-level expert wouldn't be a match for those six, let alone someone who was promoted through external forces.

"Fight against heaven and earth!"

The War King stood atop the royal city, gathering the power of countless residents in his hand before unleashing a powerful punch that met the attacks of the six Gold-level warriors head-on.

Boom...

The sky above the entire lower city split open, and a vast power poured recklessly onto the surrounding earth, causing tremors one after another.

The array covering the War King City was breaking down in countless tiny places, and some professionals coughed up blood and looked terrified.

Even with so many of them joining forces and even relying on the power of formations, they were still so vulnerable against a Gold-level being.

The higher the professional level, the greater the gap becomes. Without the support of formations, a single Gold-level player could wipe out the entire War King City.

Even those who were protected by the formation in the city suffered considerable backlash, let alone the War King who was currently in the middle of the two forces.

Waves of immense power acted upon the War King, causing cracks to appear on his powerful body, from which tiny drops of blood seeped out.

However, as the attack wave dissipated, the War King still stood in the sky, using the power of the royal city to block the attacks of the six ancestors.

"It was actually blocked." The ancestors frowned, realizing they had underestimated the strength of this war fortress.

Fortunately, they agreed to come together. If they had come one or two at a time, they might have been pushed back by the War King.

"Let's see how many times you can block this..."

Although the strength of the War King City was somewhat unexpected, the combined forces of the six Gold-level beings still held an absolute advantage.

Boom...

The six patriarchs joined forces once again to launch an attack on War King City. Their vast power completely enveloped the entire city, and strands of power fell like meteors, continuously bombarding the royal city.

With the combined efforts of the six Gold-level experts, the defensive measures of War King City were riddled with loopholes, and many professionals were even seriously injured remotely.

After all, the War King is only one person, and it is impossible for him to deal with every single Gold-level being in every detail.

After several rounds of fighting, the War King's clothes were stained red with his own blood.

Faced with the combined might of six Gold-level experts, the War King had no choice but to reveal his trump cards.

"Four Guardians, make your move!"

The War King's heart stirred, and the four guardians hidden in the War King City rose up in response.

A surging aura of destruction and slaughter erupted, as if a demon had descended upon the world.

The demons representing the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, namely Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding, flew out and blocked the way for the six ancestors.

His cold, unwavering gaze made it impossible to detect even a trace of his own will.

"A demon? Or a puppet?"

The six ancestors were also startled by the Four Symbols Demons. Although their realm seemed to be only Silver level, their auras were completely connected, so they could not be regarded as normal Silver level.

As expected of the six ancestors, the four demons stood in the four directions, and their every move was perfectly natural, forming a great array of the four elements that was integrated with heaven and earth.

The power of earth, water, fire, and wind drew upon the power of heaven and earth, empowering the four demons. Their combined aura was no less than that of a gold-level demon.

"kill!"

For the four people, A, B, C, and D, who were practically puppets, the only option in their minds at this moment was to obey orders.

Without hesitation, the four of them joined forces and attacked the six patriarchs in front of them.

"Leave it to us!"

The two patriarchs stepped forward and took the initiative to confront the four demons: "We two will deal with them as soon as possible, and then we will join forces with you to break through this city."

With the two patriarchs' combat power separated, the pressure on the War King was immediately reduced, and there was no need to gather the power of everyone in the city in one place, as that would be too wasteful.

At this moment, some silver-level professionals in War King City were also freed up and, relying on the city's defenses, launched an attack on the ancestors in the distance.

This is a Gold-level being; even Silver-level beings rarely see one, yet here they are launching an attack without restraint.

After the first wave of the crisis that threatened to destroy the city was averted, the people in War King City became excited.

"kill!"

"It's just gold-level, I've wanted to do this for a long time." Many professionals stood on the city wall, excited.

At the same time, the Dream Palace in the royal city also began to mobilize the power of the Dream Realm to launch a mental attack on the ancestors outside the city.

The Dream Palace is like a signal tower, mobilizing the spiritual power of the professionals within.

Although its utilization efficiency is not high, mental power is inherently in a higher position. As long as it can play a role, even a gold-level expert cannot ignore it.

With the assistance of the city's experts, the War King was able to handle the situation much better. Although the power of the entire royal city was still suppressed, it was not without any power to resist.

The six golden-level patriarchs rushed in with great momentum, but were blocked outside the War King City and could not advance an inch.
