As long as someone spoke ill of the various palaces in the World Channel, spread the truth, or questioned the various palaces, they were quickly banned by the various palaces.
The various palaces did not care about humans at all. They had a slightly better attitude when they could use them, but now that they were useless, they didn't mind killing everyone from Earth. They also controlled the major cities and many dungeons, and had the ability to ban all the people from Earth.
[World Channel]
"D*mn it! I just realized that the various palaces do not care about us at all!"
"They are not friendly!"
"We could only enter the city because we are of use to them. Now that we have lost our value, we have been directly targeted."
"When Mike was banned by the various palaces, I actually laughed at him."
"I suddenly regret not helping Mike."
"I should have thought of it earlier. The various palaces were able to ban Mike, so sooner or later, their anger would be directed at us."
...
All sorts of voices spread. But very quickly, many opposing voices appeared.
"Why does everyone in the World Channel sound like you all have concrete evidence to prove that the various palaces are lying?"
"The various palaces have already said that there is no one in Ledda City. You all are presumptuously claiming that there are people from the various palaces in Ledda City and then criticizing them for not supporting you. Haha, don't you have any shame?"
"A bunch of idiots. You just believe whatever others say. You guys forget that the various palaces have officially refuted the rumors."
"To think that there are people who are starting to speak well of Mike."
"I see that those who claim to be in Ledda City are all lackeys of Mike! They are here to slander the various palaces."
"That's right, that's right."
"The various palaces are the most sacred! These bunch of clowns here are slandering us."
These people did not accept the task from the various palaces, but somehow, there would always be some 'reasonable middlemen' who would disagree with their opinion.
Once these people spoke up... It would affect even more people with lower IQs and very soon, cause a huge wave of objections to form.
People in the World Channel began to quarrel.
In addition, the various palaces were threatening to ban those who opposed them.
The voices supporting the various palaces naturally had the upper hand. After all, no one wanted to be banned from the cities.
But, there was still a portion of people who opposed the various palaces.
"Various palaces, quickly come and ban them."
Soon, this person caused the next batch of banned names to appear.
"I'm dying of laughter, there are still people who seek to be banned."
"There are so many retards."
"How could the various palaces have let you all down? Each and every one of you deeply believe in the rumors, don't you have any brains of your own?"
"The various palaces have already said that there is no one in Ledda City. These bunch of retards think that they know more than them."
"Rumors? Ledda City is about to be destroyed!"
"Do you have any proof? So just because you say the situation is like that, means that it's actually like that? Tsk!"
"I think Ledda City is completely fine."
"If you don't believe me, come and take a look at Ledda City!"
"Why should I go? Even if I did go, I will know that you are spreading rumors and slandering the various palaces!"
"We have the protection of the various palaces when we are in trouble. Who do you people, those who oppose the various palaces, have to rely on? Do you really need Mike to come and save you?"
"Haha, Mike is already outdated. There isn't a single slot for his name in the various dungeon records. He has already become obsolete."
"I reckon that in a few days, everyone will completely forget Mike."
"Maybe Mike isn't as good as me now."
The world was arguing while Ledda City was filled with wails, and Exotic Beasts had already entered Ledda City, slaughtering everyone everywhere.
...
Inside the magic array.
"Looks like I still have to make a move."
Mike's original body left the magic array.
"I know that the palaces are unreliable, but I didn't expect them to be unreliable to this extent."
Faced with the invasion of Exotic Beasts, the experts of the various palaces didn't even need to think twice before fleeing. If they had wanted to escape, so be it. But, no one was allowed to say anything about it, and they even banned anyone who dared to criticize them.
That was just being extremely overbearing.
Mike Flashed and left the mountaintop, using his over 3,000 points of agility to head towards Ledda City.
Outside the city, he ran into the endless stream of Exotic Beasts that were rushing towards Ledda City. When the many beasts saw him, they roared and charged towards the human.
"Rain of Fire!"
Mike used his skill.
The sky suddenly turned red.
Then, a huge rain of fire descended as though the apocalypse had arrived.
- 3,000,000!
- 2,820,000!
- 3,310,000!
- 2,980,000!
- 6,170,000! (Critical Hit)
Outrageous numbers started appearing one by one.
Then, Ignite was applied.
- 1,830,000!
- 1,920,000!
- 1,770,000!
- 1,690,000!
- 2,010,000!
Wherever the rain of fire went, Ignite would follow.
All the Exotic Beasts fell to the ground, unable to withstand the attacks. Fire spread across the ground, burning any Exotic Beasts in its way. It continued to spread, forming a sea of fire outside the city.
None of the Exotic Beasts was able to cross this sea.
"A Level 80 Master set equipment is unbelievably overpowered." Mike knew that most of the damage dealt was due to the equipment bonus.
If it were King-Tier equipment...
The damage would be even more interesting.
Mike Flashed into Ledda City. The biggest problem now was the Exotic Beasts that were carrying out their slaughter in Ledda City. To be honest, the ones outside the city hadn't caused much damage yet.
Right now, the scene inside Ledda City looked so miserable.
The people's strengths were too weak, and they had no support. Even when they said that Ledda City was under attack, it was brushed off as a rumor.
"There are too many Exotic Beasts!"
A small party was in despair.
"Exotic Beasts are wandering around inside and outside the city. We have nowhere else to go."
"We are in a desperate situation!"
"Is there no one coming to support us?"
"Support?"
Someone laughed bitterly after reading the message on the Chat Channel.
"Now, everyone is saying that it's just a rumor that Ledda City is under attack by Exotic Beasts, and the purpose is to slander the various palaces! You are not even allowed to say that Ledda City is under attack."
"How can this be?"
"Not only did the experts of the various palaces ran away, but they're also not allowing us to say anything. They want us to die just to cover up the fact that they escaped!"
"How shameless!"
Suddenly, the sky turned red.
Balls of flames appeared in the clouds.
"Look at the sky!"
"The sky has turned red."
"Is this the ultimate move of the Exotic Beasts?"
"It's over..."
"We're all doomed..."
Countless people stared at the scarlet sky, despair surfaced in their hearts.
They could feel it even without waiting for the flames to descend.
Who was able to escape this?!
Were the Exotic Beasts so powerful?!
Rumble!
Balls of flames fell to the ground, forming large pools of fire. Countless people were instantly sucked into the pool of fire.
"Let's respawn together."
Many people were just waiting to die.
"There's nothing we can do."
However...
Time passed, minute by minute. They were still alive within the sea of fire.
They were still alive.
Not a single drop of blood was shed.
On the contrary, the Exotic Beasts that were wreaking havoc were being burned by the flames and they were all roaring as they disintegrated.
"..."
"..."
"What's going on?"
"Wasn't that fire rain called down by the Exotic Beasts?"
"Who?"
"Could it be that the various palaces have sent someone to save us?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
Immediately, countless people sent messages on the World Channel with disdain.
"You still place hope in those ugly faces of the various palaces? It definitely wasn't the various palaces that came to save us!"
"Then, who else has the strength to do so?"
The people of Ledda City who were already in despair started to search for the reason one after another.
Their sense of despair faded. They had survived a disaster, and a sense of relief washed over them all.
