On Earth, in the real world, a huge number of people were still watching replays of the one-sided "fight" between Apophis and the players led by Zelda.
Everyone was shocked! All the games media were commentating the fight as quickly as they could, but even Apophis's most fervent supporters in the media had no explanation for how he'd risen to such a level of power in so short a time.
He had humiliated one of the best PvP teams in the SuperGuild Hyrule, as well as its star player. This was absolutely unimaginable! It shook the hierarchy of guilds in the MMORPG world, as usually the faction with the strongest and most numerous players won any conflict.
The fight sparked a heavy debate concerning Apophis's true power and resources, as well as those of his guild, Eclipse. Were they being supported from the shadows by a SuperGuild, perhaps? Some of the craziest theories even suggested he was receiving support from the criminal underworld.
