Chapter 2115

「Creator Alliance? 」

「Which civilization is this? Do they have anyone here? I think they seem to have some strength; why haven't I heard of them before? 」

「I don't know; maybe they just popped up. I've heard of the Creator God, though. But that civilization basically destroyed itself long ago. 」

In the noisy virtual hall, representatives of the Fifth Stage from various civilizations constantly discussed the ranking changes.

The rankings are of great importance, even enough to determine the futures of many civilizations. Therefore, people pay great attention to any changes in the rankings.

It's like a gambler outside a horse race—if they spot a dark horse, they could earn a tidy sum of points.

「What's there to care about a team ranked eighty thousand? 」

「Why bother watching this trash civilization? Better look at those within the top thousand. 」

On the periphery, among over thirty representatives of relatively weak civilizations, a gaseous elemental rudely interrupted everyone's discussion.

He pointed to the team around nine hundred on the list and proudly said:

「The Soil Element Alliance, ranked nine hundred thirty-seven, currently has its score neck-and-neck with the top hundred. 」

「Everyone, instead of worrying about all those miscellaneous teams, you'd better pay attention to our elemental line. 」

「This battlefield environment is perfect for our elemental line to shine; I see you still have points, right? Why not bet on our people? 」

After saying that, the gaseous elemental waved its 'leg', clearly trying to get everyone to follow him in placing bets.

He really didn't think much of the Creator Alliance that everyone was discussing. He noticed that, in the Creator Alliance's publicly available information, the War Star Level performances were poor, with pitifully low scores.

Therefore, the reason for the sudden surge in ranking is nothing more than letting a few God Ascendants in the team take some kills. Such a team might be wiped out by a group any second.

However, facing this 'goodwill' from the elemental representative, another Star Destroyer among the representatives clearly didn't care and even couldn't help mocking:

「Storm, what are you getting all proud about? 」

"What do you mean by your elemental line? Are you close with the Soil Element Alliance? As far as I know, you only sent in a team of a hundred thousand, right?"

「Heh, you call eighty thousand trash? Then what are you? 」

「We're looking at the ones further back—at least the returns are higher! 」

The questioning Star Destroyer representative snorted coldly; he had long been dissatisfied with sighing Storm. In a situation where everyone is trash, that storm still looks down on them—how could he tolerate it?

Especially since the other side keeps bringing up those few stronger elemental alliances, which to him is downright disgusting!

There are so many types of elemental life! If Storm is related to the Soil Element Alliance, then across the entire universe, even a random paramecium would be connected to the Seventh Stage Crimson Radiance—after all, they're all carbon-based life!

「You..! 」

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing. Storm means well, and the Soil Element Alliance really wants to break into the top hundred."

「They specialize in ambushes; just look at how fast their scores change—you can tell they've already hunted down many teams. 」

「Of course, Karen, what you said is also right; we barely have any points to begin with. This situation is so complex that we can't possibly judge who will be first. 」

「Betting on the teams currently ranked low is, for us, practically the only way to earn points. 」

In the team, a Star Destroyer who looked rather kind stepped up to mediate; in his mind, each of them had pitifully few points, so it would be best if everyone cooperated and placed a joint bet.

That way, the hope of being correct could increase somewhat.

「I think Guangming is right; we could consider the Soil Element Alliance, and of course we could also refer to the Creator Alliance, whose ranking changes dramatically. 」

「Anyway, let's just observe a bit more; after all, we really have too little information, and those powerful civilizations wouldn't deign to share with us. 」

The argument was about to end, but Storm suddenly snorted coldly and spoke arrogantly:

「Little information, uncertain? That's you guys! 」

「I can't be bothered to say anything more to you lot of trash; frankly, we have indeed allied with the Soil Element Alliance! Moreover, the Travelers Alliance is also on our side! 」

「Heh, I was trying to help you out, but you're a bunch of gutless, filthy, stinking meat! 」

As his words fell, the violently tempered sighing Storm flew toward another group of Star Destroyers not far away. Coincidentally, at that moment the Travelers faction in the distance also happened to look his way.

This scene seemed to corroborate Storm's words.

But Storm didn't notice that the Travelers representative's eyes were full of irritation.

Just fifteen minutes ago, their people relied on having War Slaves commit suicide at a specific time to transmit a message to them.

Although the message couldn't be expressed precisely, the corresponding information turned out to be: the plan had failed!

Standing beneath the ranking board, all six Fifth Stage representatives of the Travelers Alliance repeatedly replayed the footage of the ranking changes.

Although the information changes amount to millions per second, trying to find the corresponding kill combination is extremely difficult.

Yet, through the Travelers Alliance's all-out analysis, they managed to extract from the ranking fluctuations the record with the highest probability.

「Fifteen minutes thirty-three seconds to forty seconds, our people suddenly died in droves! And at that point, about six teams' scores showed major fluctuations, of which the data that best fits is.. 」

「Creator Alliance! 」

With an icy gaze, a Creator clad in silver-white battle armor clenched his fists tightly, hesitated slightly, then began contacting other civilizations.

Transmitting information inside and outside the match is extremely difficult; their only way to obtain in‑match information is to rely on participants dying at a specific time, thereby conveying the corresponding event number.

Although he was confident that the Travelers squad in the match certainly knew what to do.

But given the stakes, with nearly half of the alliance's reserve points invested, they could not afford any risk of failure.

「Quinn, Mannyin, Volcano. 」

「We Travelers are willing to put up three hundred points; we hope you, by means of betting, will notify your in‑match teams to help me with a task! 」

The endless nebular web sparkled like countless brilliant gems in deep space.

Yet amidst the surrounding stars, a vast void loomed like a wound in the universe, eternally dark.

The stars seemed to be fleeing from somewhere; even light shied away.

At the center of the Nebula Void, this darkness that might have sunk infinitely was suddenly broken.

In the endless void of darkness, three points of light darted about at extreme speed.

「Warning! Warning! 」

「The target has already broken free of the first-layer seal; the Meme chain is failing! 」

Boom!!!

Although a vacuum should be silent, a red light hundreds of thousands of kilometers long shot out from the darkness, accompanied by a sound capable of shattering countless stars, like a tremendous mental roar that boomed explosively.

Only to see that the target of the red light's attack was, shockingly, a gigantic eyeball covered in tentacles.
