103: One hit, a million points! First Emperor, I accept your thank you gift!
Unlike the clamor of war raging outside, the Celestial Court here seemed overly leisurely.
Gourmet Supplier was humming a tuneless ditty, wielding a giant ladle, and vigorously stirring his three-meter-diameter pot.
“Come, come, come! Freshly made Dragon’s Tail Soup!”
“All units gain +50% Attack Speed, attacks deal minor splash damage, lasts for ten minutes! Everyone, come and try it!”
A domineering and unparalleled aroma of meat aggressively invaded every inch of air in the territory.
MyoSuSeiKa gulped, while directing his engineering goblins to place even more bizarrely shaped statues at key nodes, and shouted:
“Brother, save a bowl for me! This new Statue of the Goddess of Wisdom I made, it’s ugly, but it can give all Mage Towers a 20% skill cooldown reduction! Paired with your soup, it’s simply a perfect match!”
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the territory, the newly appointed Inspector Cicada Clothes stood gracefully beneath an Arrow Tower.
She gazed at the tide-like swarm of monsters in the distance, a carefully calculated worry appearing in her beautiful eyes.
She softly said to the Berserker Blade beside her: “Senior Berserker Blade, the monsters are overwhelming, why hasn’t Heaven's Choice acted yet?”
The Berserker Blade, who was enthusiastically directing his Berserk Giant Axe Soldiers to hack away, laughed heartily upon hearing this:
“Sister Cicada Clothes, you don’t know! ”
“Our boss’s style is to not make a move unless absolutely necessary, but once he does, he’ll make everyone shut up!”
In the depths of Cicada Clothes’s eyes, a glint of light flashed.
Shut up?
She wanted to see how Heaven's Choice would make everyone shut up in the face of the Great Qin Empire’s crushing points advantage.
On the surface, she was observing the battle, but secretly, she was silently recording the Celestial Court’s defensive layout, members’ talents, and even everyone’s chatting habits, preparing to filter out valuable information to report to the First Emperor.
At this moment, the Celestial Court members’ rankings on the leaderboard were not prominent.
The highest, Yi, was only ranked 28th.
His dozens of Divine Arrow Towers, under the dual buffs of Gourmet Supplier and MyoSuSeiKa, still didn’t have fast attack speed.
But every arrow shot would inevitably precisely eliminate an elite monster from among thousands!
It felt like playing a super long-range whack-a-mole game, effortless and composed.
However, this kind of precise “point kill” was undoubtedly a disadvantage in a competition like the Hunting Ceremony, which tested slaughter efficiency.
Buzz—!!!
An indescribable pressure descended.
It seemed to come from a higher dimension, cold and vast, making the souls of all who perceived it tremble!
In the depths of the pupil of the giant eye, constructed from countless starlight crystals, five orange-red flames suddenly lit up!
It made no sound, only slowly rotated.
The next moment, five slender, dark-red rays burst forth from its pupil!
That was the color of death itself.
These five rays ignored space and terrain, instantly piercing through the entire battlefield with a law beyond mortal comprehension!
One landed on the Giant Strength Golem in the Great Qin Empire battle zone, which was currently smashing Bai Qi, the General’s Blood Slaughter Guards to pieces.
One landed in front of the Holy Hall Knights’ position, on the Giant Strength Golem that had caused them heavy losses.
The third landed in front of the rogue lord alliance’s defense line, on the Giant Strength Golem that was about to tear apart their last hope.
The remaining two precisely locked onto the two other most powerful sub-legendary “Abyssal Dreadclaw Monster” leaders in the monster tide!
A bizarre and unparalleled scene occurred.
-100!
-500!
-1200!
-2800!
-5500!
-9999!
-9999!
-9999!
A series of geometrically soaring damage numbers, like a waterfall, frantically surged from above the heads of those five BOSS-level monsters!
Their health bars were instantly emptied!
Their sturdy bodies, capable of withstanding tens of thousands of attacks, under the irradiation of the death rays, silently melted, decomposed, and then completely vaporized like ice and snow under the scorching sun!
Holy Hall · Caesar was about to activate his Holy Shield to endure the Golem’s next heavy blow, but he watched helplessly as the arrogant giant melted into a handful of dust before him.
Bai Qi, the General’s pupils contracted violently, the surging bloodlust in his eyes even receding slightly due to this inconceivable sight.
The world channel fell into a deathly silence for ten seconds.
Immediately after, on the leaderboard, an ID, with a posture that could be described as “spatial leap,” instantly soared from outside the top hundred directly to the top!
NO.1: Celestial Court · Heaven's Choice
Points: 1,254,400
That terrifying string of numbers was a whole order of magnitude higher than the second-place Great Qin · Bai Qi, the General!
After the dead silence came an explosion of exclamations like a volcanic eruption!
One Punch, One Sobbing Monster: “Holy crap!!! What did I just see?! 1.2 million points?! Is this a system bug?!”
White Whore in the Waves: “Full-map BOSS instant kill? Is this a defense tower? This is a space-based weapon!!!”
Lang Li Ge Lang: “This must be a pirated Hell Tower, it’s too exaggerated, the range is so ridiculous, and it can simultaneously melt five boss-level units!”
I Just Want to Farm: “Heaven's Choice… forever a god!”
And at this moment, beneath the Arrow Tower, Cicada Clothes, who had maintained an elegant, shallow smile, had her expression completely frozen.
In her captivating beautiful eyes, for the first time, an emotion called “horror” appeared.
At the same time, Xianyang Plain.
The smile on the First Emperor’s face froze.
He stared intently at that dazzling name, high above on the leaderboard, his hand holding the wine cup beginning to tremble slightly.
Just then, that ID, on the world channel, uttered the first words since the start of the hunt.
Words that were enough to make the First Emperor’s blood surge backward.
Heaven's Choice: “@Great Qin · First Emperor, a thank-you gift.”
