Chapter 141: Divine Miracle Reappears

Kamiyu’s two attacks were easily countered by Lei Yao. Whether it was the straightforward Phase Energy Cannon or the Hammer of the Thunder God descending from the sky, both ended up fully healing Lei Yao.

“It’s useless. If we can’t win, we just can’t win.”

“It’s over. The end of the world is coming. I should hide in reality first.”

Some fled, while others surrendered.

“Let’s surrender. Lei Yao is an official player. We just have different stances from him, but he’s still human after all. He won’t persecute us,” a player naively said under extreme fear.

“That’s right. This Lei Yao just wants to be the king. Why should Li Changde and those leaders of the big guilds and squads be allowed to form the Civilian Player Alliance? I say, this messy alliance is no different from the officials—they all just want to take advantage of us players,” a newcomer player who had just entered the game not long ago incited.

“You’re right. It doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor, as long as I have food to eat and can grind mobs to level up,” another player played the ostrich, loudly proclaiming as if he were wise.

Lei Yao intended to build a Spartan-style iron-blooded military camp—no rest, no entertainment, only battle, forcing everyone to fight to death, oppressing everyone to death, squeezing out every last drop of blood from them.

Lei Yao wanted to turn every person into his war slave.

These people didn’t understand, nor were they willing to understand. They surrendered after just a little scare.

Li Changde and the others quickly tried to stop these actions, but many solo players and newcomer players chose to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Kamiyu saw everything clearly from the tower, looking down with disdain at these people on the city wall. Those who laid down their weapons could no longer be considered human. From the moment they set down their weapons, they had already turned from humans into slaves.

Kamiyu scornfully shouted loudly, “Guild Leader Li, remember the IDs of every slave who laid down their weapons and surrendered. Our Sanctuary will forever ban these people from entering.”

Kamiyu also wanted to say that her Main City Seriga would similarly ban these people from entering, but now was a critical moment in the battle, and she couldn’t reveal this information yet.

“Heavenly Father Inarius once told me that Main City Seriga holds an extremely important position. It guards the high-tier instance dungeon, the Greater Rift, and is rich in high-level equipment. In ancient times, it was known as the City of Commerce and the City of Blacksmiths.”

“I will definitely take Seriga, and these surrendering slaves have no right to enter my main city.”

“Since you’ve chosen to surrender now and submit to Lei Yao, it means you’re opposing me. For the sake of stabilizing morale, not killing you to gain Enhancement Points is already an act of great mercy.”

Li Changde understood immediately and instructed all his members to immediately record the IDs of every slave player who had laid down their weapons.

Even if they picked up their weapons again, it would be useless.

Hearing Kamiyu and Li Changde’s words, these slaves began to blame them.

“What? You have a Sanctuary? Why didn’t you say so earlier?” one person said regretfully, scratching his head.

“Where did this Sanctuary come from? Do they have Beta Testers? This Kamier is no Beta Tester,” another person said defiantly.

“It’s that tall guy, the one holding Bai Zhan’s Ancestral Legendary Tier Dragon Slayer Blade. He’s the Beta Tester,” someone reminded.

“Lady Kamier has already cleared two waves of Aberrant Beast Demons, earning enough Heavenly Father Points to exchange for the Altar of Lilith,” one person said, looking up at the high tower.

“What’s the use of having a Sanctuary? Look, do any other Beta Testers dare to come support the Main City? I told you, the so-called Civilian Player Alliance is just a joke,” a Solo Player pointed out the key issue.

Lei Yao’s Water-Calling Sword Style, Sever Reality, could shatter the City Gate with a single strike, and breaking through a Sanctuary would be just as easy.

Sanctuaries were the personal property of Beta Testers, and they didn’t want to offend Lei Yao or risk their own Sanctuaries being destroyed.

Lei Yao had already approached within 500 meters and easily overheard their conversation.

“That’s right, your so-called Civilian Player Alliance is nothing but a useless alliance. When trouble comes, you just push the blame onto each other, with no sense of personal responsibility. It’s best when I alone have the final say,” Lei Yao shouted loudly.

He continued to belittle the Civilian Player Alliance for its inaction and evasion of responsibility.

As one of the alliance’s committee members, Li Changde also agreed with Lei Yao—not because he approved of Lei Yao’s Spartan-style military camp, but because even now, those eleven Beta Testers had yet to appear to share the burden.

They hadn’t shown up from the very beginning.

When the Hell Tide was about to arrive, instead of strengthening the city’s defenses, they emptied the Main City’s Storage, desperately recruiting soldiers and gathering resources for their respective Sanctuaries.

All that remained to defend the city were low-level Newcomer Players and Solo Players that nobody wanted.

Even when the first and second waves of Aberrant Beast Demons attacked, they didn’t lend a hand. Their Sanctuaries already had sufficient forces and could have drawn aggro to share the pressure, but they forbade attacking the Aberrant Beast Demons, letting the entire Hell Army charge toward the Main City.

If it weren’t for Lady Kamiyu’s presence, the Main City wouldn’t have held out for even three minutes—it would have been captured during the first wave.

Li Changde resented these people and believed the Civilian Player Alliance no longer needed to continue. Of course, he wouldn’t take the lead in surrendering to Lei Yao either.

Because they had “Heavenly Father Inarius’s daughter”—Kamiyu.

As long as they followed Kamiyu, as long as they acknowledged Kamiyu, there would surely be a way out.

Kamiyu had just said to remember these people’s IDs, which meant she already had enough points to exchange for a Sanctuary. At worst, their entire Guild of several hundred people could start from scratch, building a new home amidst the flames of war.

Li Changde clenched his fist, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly, “I pledge to follow Lady Kamier to the death.”

This was a call for allegiance, giving those fence-sitters and undecided players who neither surrendered nor supported them a chance—to follow or not.

Some hesitated for a moment, tightened their grip on their Weapons, and also shouted, “We will not be slaves! We pledge to follow Lady Kamier to the death.”

Some clueless Newcomer Players joined in the shouting, “Who wants to be a stinking man’s dog slave? I want to be Lady Kamier’s Crusader.”

Kamiyu now bore the title of “Heavenly Father’s Saintess,” and many Newcomer Players and troublemakers took it as truth.

After all, Kamiyu had displayed divine power beyond ordinary comprehension, and rumors of her glowing in the Guild training ground earlier made everyone believe it wholeheartedly.

The Octahedral Crystal hanging around Kamiyu’s neck sensed the power of faith among the people and began to glow with warmth.

A holy white light once again emanated from Kamiyu’s body.

“We’re saved!” a Player shouted loudly.

“The Father’s Saintess has manifested a Divine Miracle. Brothers, we are saved!” Some Players were so moved that they even knelt on the ground, bowing in worship to Kamiyu.

Li Changde widened his eyes in astonishment: “It’s the same light that appeared on the training ground before, no mistake. Lady Kamiyu is the chosen one, she is the Heavenly Father’s Saintess.”

Lei Yao, watching from a distance, also saw the beam of light radiating from Kamiyu: “Could it be that she truly is the Heavenly Father’s Saintess?”
