Almost simultaneously, two of the largest cities in the Huaxia Alliance, each with populations exceeding a hundred million, successfully established their main cities. The world was left in shock. However, unlike the world announcement that followed the establishment of the "Imperial Capital" yesterday, the creation of "Magic City" and "Flower City" did not trigger any world-related main questlines, leaving everyone puzzled about the reasons behind this difference.
Moreover, it seemed that global leaders had either been intimidated by the Huaxia Alliance's progress or had chosen to invest their points and merits into strengthening themselves. No new individual world announcements appeared today.
While the world was buzzing with these updates, Emma was far more curious about what Alex had done to cause such a massive fortress to explode. Staring blankly at him, her mind a whirlwind of confusion, she finally coughed a few times and asked, "What exactly did you do?"
Alex let out a helpless laugh, feeling a bit at a loss. After a brief silence, he replied, "I just swung my sword once. I guess that legacy point wasn't too stable and self-destructed. Good thing we were quick to escape."
Emma clearly didn't believe Alex's casual explanation, but she didn't press further. Instead, she asked curiously, "Since you destroyed the whole resource point, did you get any impressive rewards?"
Alex checked the notifications he hadn't yet had time to review and found that, surprisingly, the rewards weren't as extraordinary as he expected. The primary reward was a "failed" mission bonus and a strange blue egg:

During the mission, Alex had slain 30,000 N-class Sky Serpent Bloodline creatures, earning him a reward of 150 million merit points. He had also defeated 3,000 R-class creatures, gaining an additional 90 million merit points. Finally, he earned 108 million merit points for defeating the Sky Serpent Dragon, dealing 100% of the damage.
Additionally, he received 500,000 points for being the top contributor in the mission.

The sheer number of creatures in the R-class resource point was staggering—over 30,000 monsters. It was equivalent to a hundred N-class resource points combined. If Alex had tried to kill them one by one, it would have taken him until nightfall. Thankfully, the entire resource point had exploded, and the final merit reward—over 300 million—left Alex stunned.
He had thought the millions of points he had earned from defeating monster nests were impressive, but it turned out destroying an R-class resource point earned him a whopping 300 million merit points! In the game's shop system, 1 merit point was equal to 10 regular points, meaning Alex had just received the equivalent of 3 billion points in purchasing power.
While the massive merit reward was undoubtedly shocking, the task rewards themselves weren't extraordinary—just typical bonuses for completing evaluations. However, Alex's accomplishment of single-handedly annihilating an entire resource point earned him the title of **"Annihilator"**, and even more intriguingly, it had awakened his **seventh attribute**:
---

The **Annihilator** title wasn't the real prize. The awakening of Alex's seventh attribute, **Overwhelming Crush**, was absurdly overpowered. With Alex's high Spirit and bloodline potential, any enemies would find their Strength, Agility, and Perception drastically reduced, turning even formidable opponents into weaklings.
After reviewing the rewards, Alex was about to move on when the sight of the blue egg made him smile. The trial's final reward was a **pet egg**!
As he pulled the small, palm-sized egg from his inventory, it cracked open with a sharp sound. A small blue creature, no thicker than a finger, slithered out. It was a baby **Sky Serpent**, identical to the one he had seen in the legacy space. The three sets of miniature wings on its sides were both adorable and elegant.
At the same time, a new notification appeared in Alex's mind: "Congratulations, player! You have obtained the bonded pet, **Sky Serpent**!"
Checking his character screen, Alex saw the pet's attributes and realized that, through a mental connection, he could even communicate with the little creature. Although it couldn't speak, he could sense its thoughts, creating a unique and magical bond.
After looking at the Sky Serpent's attributes, Alex finally understood why the **Sky Serpent Bloodline** was considered one of the strongest SR-class bloodlines. The creature's skill and bloodline abilities were completely game-breaking:

Alex marveled at the potential of his new companion. **Sky Serpent** skills were astonishing, with an explosive potential that could rival some of the most powerful abilities he had seen.
