"Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! What just happened? I didn't see it wrong, did I? That Perfect-Level Defensive Barrier...was actually directly penetrated by Great Lord's Rockets? Damn! Is that for real?"
"I saw it too! This is absolutely real! Hahahaha! Great Lord really didn't disappoint me! He is indeed the light of the Survivors!"
"Hey, wake up! Didn't you notice...that Great Lord's Rockets not only shattered the Barrier, but also destroyed an island stronghold on the periphery of the Order Beacon?"
"Holy crap! You're right! You're really right! If I remember correctly, that island should be the core stronghold of the Order Beacon's northern region, right? I can't believe it was destroyed just like that! Hahaha, well done!"
"Hello? Hello? Where are those dog-like bastards from the Order Beacon now? Why aren't they coming out to bark anymore? It seems your Lord isn't all that great! And a Perfect-Level Defensive Barrier? Is that all? Is that all? Hmm hmm hmm???"
Soon, in the chat channel, a group of people began to celebrate, launching a counterattack against the members of the Order Beacon.
However, no matter how much they mocked, the people from the Order Beacon seemed to have completely disappeared, unable to utter a single word of retort.
There was nothing they could do; facts speak louder than words.
The live broadcast was right in front of them, so no matter how defiant they were, they had nothing to say at this moment!
At the same time, many people's hearts wavered.
Was their supreme Lord...really an omnipotent deity, as they had imagined?
If the Lord was truly omnipotent, then why was the Defensive Barrier he bestowed...shattered head-on by a few Rockets launched by Lin Bei?
This incident greatly impacted the confidence of the Order Beacon members.
Many fence-sitters, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, immediately turned their guns and began to attack their former teammates.
The live stream was in chaos.
"Reporting, Leader, Northern District Stronghold Number One has been completely destroyed, and the Round Table Knights responsible for guarding the stronghold have...have been confirmed dead."
A subordinate's report came through the Survivor Bracelet.
"Moreover...four islands surrounding Stronghold Number One were also largely destroyed in the aftermath of the explosion, and the people on them...are all dead!"
"Our people are still urgently compiling the specific losses! But...the Logistics Team conservatively estimates that our losses this time...are at least over 500,000 primal stones!"
"Leader, what...what should we do next?"
A subordinate's worried voice came through the communicator.
"What to do? Heh, how the hell would I know!"
Bohaus's face was grim as he roared and directly hung up the communication.
However, this entire scene was broadcast through the live stream across the entire sea, falling into everyone's eyes.
"Hahahaha! He's triggered! He's overheating!"
"Is this the leader of the Order Beacon? Amazing, amazing, amazing!"
The live stream immediately erupted in laughter.
"Damn it!"
Bohaus only then realized he was still live-streaming, immediately cursed in exasperation, and quickly closed the live stream.
He panted heavily, looking at the champagne bottle he had crushed into pieces in his hand, his brows tightly furrowed, his mind in turmoil.
He quickly took the tower's elevator back to the ground, then hurried to the altar behind the main hall, dripped his blood, and tried to establish contact with the Lord.
However, he had already spilled more than 1000 milliliters of blood on the altar, and the altar was glowing brightly, but he received no response from the Lord!
"Calling My Lord! Calling My Lord!"
"My Lord! I'm in trouble now! I need your help!"
"My Lord! My Lord, are you there?"
"My Lord! I beg you! Please respond quickly!"
"My Lord! I'm really in a hurry right now!"
"Holy crap! My Lord, hurry up and answer me!!!"
"I'm gonna..."
Bohaus's face was as pale as paper; constantly losing blood had taken a toll on his body.
It should be known that this altar in front of him not only absorbed his blood but also devoured a lot of his Qi and Blood Power.
Every time he used the altar, his Combat Power would decrease.
This time, with such a massive blood loss, his Combat Power was directly weakened by almost half!
However, he still hadn't received a response from the Lord, which made him extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
After all, he couldn't have imagined, even if he racked his brains, that the guy named Lin Bei could actually launch Rockets powerful enough to destroy a Perfect-Level Barrier defense!
This was just too exaggerated!
He knew that he could be so arrogant because he had a backer!
Could it be...that the other party also had a backer?
Thinking of this, Bohaus's heart became even more flustered!
He had already declared war on Lin Bei; if his Lord behind him failed him at this moment, then everything would be over!
Although he was the Lord's spokesman, he was not a mindless fanatic!
He did all this with his own goals!
He wanted to be the overlord of the sea!
Not to die in vain!
Not to mention, if that guy named Lin Bei suddenly felt like it and threw a few more Rockets towards his main camp, then his own fate would be self-evident!
He would definitely die a miserable death!
"Hoo...calling...calling My Lord, I...I'm about to collapse, if you...if you don't respond to me soon, I...I'm going to...sur... (surrender!)"
"Oh? What are you going to surrender?"
Suddenly, a phantom blood-colored figure condensed on the altar, and a majestic, indifferent voice slowly sounded, with cold eyes falling upon Bohaus, who was lying on the altar floor, nearly exhausted.
"My Lord! Hahahaha! You finally appeared! I...I was just saying that if you didn't appear soon, I would devote myself to the embrace of the great God of Order, to show my will with my body!"
"The enemy is too cunning! They used some unknown means to launch a sneak attack and destroy the Perfect-Level Defensive Barrier that you bestowed, My Lord!"
Bohaus's expression remained unchanged as he quickly climbed up from the ground, knelt respectfully at the feet of the blood-colored figure, and spoke with a face full of piety.
"Oh? I didn't expect...you to be so devout! Good, very good!"
The blood-colored figure grinned, but his eyes, when looking at Bohaus, were filled with endless indifference.
He had paid a considerable price to project himself again.
But he had heard everything Bohaus said during that time, and now seeing his sophistry, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"My Lord above! As your devout follower! My loyalty is witnessed by the sun and moon!"
Bohaus quickly kowtowed.
"Hmm, I already know about your situation."
The blood-colored figure nodded and said indifferently, "I just didn't expect that kid named Lin Bei to have some strength."
"But don't worry, next, I will personally take action. He has no chance."
"This...My Lord, you're going to take action personally? That's wonderful! May I ask, is there anything I need to do?"
Bohaus looked up at the blood-colored figure with a face full of pleasant surprise, his voice filled with excitement.
"Hmm, I do need a small favor from you."
"You just need to give me your body."
The blood-colored figure spoke indifferently.
"What? I..."
Bohaus's face showed terror upon hearing this, but before he could say anything more, the blood-colored figure transformed into a mist and directly entered through his mouth and nose.
The next second, Bohaus let out agonizing screams and rolled on the ground repeatedly.
After a while, he gasped for breath and slowly stood up from the ground, a blood-red shadow flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Hoo...finally succeeded."
"Heh, he really is a good-for-nothing. I provided him with so many resources, yet his Combat Power has only barely exceeded ten thousand points even now!"
"However, with this Qi and Blood clone of mine, after complete assimilation, the Combat Power of this body should be able to burst out with a hundredfold effect!"
"Heh heh, one million Combat Power. By then...I'd like to see what that kid named Lin Bei will use to fight me?"
..."Achoo—!"
Outside the Dark Forest, Lin Bei revisited the old place, preparing to find some Shadow Cat Demons to practice with, wanting to see what good things they might drop.
But before he could even enter, he suddenly sneezed.
At the same time, a series of system prompts appeared, forcing him to retract the step he had taken.
"Hmm, these prompts...it seems those Rockets have successfully landed."
"Let me see, how was the harvest this time?"
