Chapter 2813

~8 min read 1,457 words

Spatial fluctuations emerged in the surroundings; the teleportation was about to begin. One of the benefits of fighting in a World Conquest is that you won't get "bludgeoned" on the back of your head during teleportation.

Su Xiao was not clear about the situation on the Demon Spirit Star. This time it was a four-way melee. There was no need to say much about the Death Paradise side; seeing those bald heads with barcodes on them, nine times out of ten, they were ruthless characters.

The charlatans of the Sanctuary were also not to be trifled with. Heaven knows what kind of nonsense they would stir up. Sometimes, you clearly felt you had beaten them until they had no power to fight back, but before long, they would sacrifice some god of unknown origin.

As for the Apocalypse Paradise side, competing on the same stage with the Reincarnation, Death, and Sanctuary factions this time, their psychological shadow area must be quite large; their allies didn't come.

If the Holy Light Paradise side were also here this time, it would likely develop into four against one. That's right, the Reincarnation Paradise side is that "one."

In past World Conquests, if the Watcher Paradise side didn't come and the remaining five factions were in a melee, there would always be strange developments. First, Apocalypse Paradise and Holy Light Paradise would likely form an alliance; after all, miners and healers are more likely to huddle together, and the possibility of mutual scheming is smaller.

Although the charlatans from Sanctuary Paradise were strong, they were somewhat fickle. Once they saw Apocalypse and Holy Light had allied, those charlatans were also very willing to join in the fun.

After the Death Paradise side, which often clashed with the Reincarnation Paradise side, saw this scene, those assassins/rangers couldn't help but be tempted. Since the other three factions had allied, they wouldn't be left out, so they simply joined in.

In this way, a four-against-one situation emerged. The reason for this was, first, the Reincarnation Paradise side had many lunatics and strong combat power; second, the contractors of Apocalypse and Holy Light were the first to unite, and they were the leaders.

This time, the Holy Light Paradise side did not participate in this World Conquest. The contractors of Apocalypse Paradise were bitter inside. Unite with the charlatans of Sanctuary? Forget it; there were quite a few old schemers among those charlatans too.

Unite with Death Paradise? Those were ruthless characters who would strike at the slightest disagreement. The Death Rangers were not to be trifled with; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to clash with the lunatics of Reincarnation.

Su Xiao felt that this World Conquest would likely develop in the direction of a melee. His side would clash with Death Paradise first, while the charlatans would go to find trouble with the Apocalypse Paradise side.

The spatial fluctuations became increasingly intense. Su Xiao's vision went black. When his consciousness recovered, he was already standing on an invisible barrier; the Starry Sky Transfer Station had arrived.

Unlike previous World Conquests, there were only a few figures in the Starry Sky Transfer Station at this time. Presumably, a few days ago, the main forces of the four-party contractors had already completed the "mutual greetings" session here.

Baja sighed with regret that it hadn't been present for the mutual greetings session. You must know that in the past, it was the main output force of their side.

The Starry Sky Transfer Station was somewhat dim, with a few figures distributed around, two in a group, totaling six people. These six were all wrapped in darkness, unable to see their appearances or clothing, only their postures. These six were 6 Tier 8 contractors from the three factions of Apocalypse Paradise, Sanctuary Paradise, and Death Paradise, with 2 people per group from each paradise.

"Actually letting us participate in a Tier 7 World Conquest? Rare."

A dark figure spoke. Their voice had been specially processed, making it impossible to distinguish gender or age.

"There is a Tier 7 world that is very dangerous. Haven't you heard of the famous Demon Spirit Star? What we are entering this time might be the Demon Spirit Star."

"Demon Spirit Star? That hellhole known as the 'Some Qiyuezhe Graveyard'? I heard that even Tier 8 contractors aren't safe if they go there."

"Shall we kill each other first? The winning group goes to bully the weak?"

"Don't even think about it. I've been to the Demon Spirit Star. If I'm not mistaken, once you get there, you won't see any Tier 7 contractors until you leave. That world has two continents, one dangerous and one prosperous. We are going this time, presumably to complete a certain task so that the Tier 7 contractors on that side can compete for the World Core."

Several Tier 8 contractors discussed among themselves. It looked peaceful, but in reality, after entering the world, they would pair up and hunt down Tier 8 contractors from other paradises together.

While they were discussing, their gazes looked toward Su Xiao's side intentionally or unintentionally. The reason was that only Su Xiao was here. As for Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Benny, with the discernment of Tier 8 contractors, one glance was enough to know they were followers or permanent summons. Being able to fight their way to Tier 8, there were no fools.

"Oh ho ho, one person, and a summoner at that."

"It's a contractor from Reincarnation Paradise."

"No one knows what a lunatic will do. Everyone, why don't we six unite temporarily and let the Reincarnation Paradise side be eliminated first?"

"That sounds familiar. You're one of those charlatans from Sanctuary, right? Besiege a contractor from Reincarnation Paradise? Even if we win, we'll have to be buried with him. Do you want to use his hands to get rid of us?"

A dark figure who knew the contractors of Reincarnation Paradise better spoke. The wariness in their words revealed one thing: they had likely resisted explosives from Reincarnation Paradise and survived. They didn't want to have such an experience a second time.

"How could that be? I am a devout believer; God will have mercy on all the evil in this world."

The charlatan from Sanctuary took out a badge wrapped in darkness and pressed it against their forehead with their index finger, their movements earnest and devout. Beside them was a dark figure doing the same. Both of these people came from Sanctuary Paradise and believed in the same god, which meant there would be no infighting between them. This was very troublesome.

"Everyone, why don't we three factions draw lots in the world contact channel after entering the world? Whichever side is drawn, the pair from that side will go and fight this lone wolf from Reincarnation Paradise."

"OK."

"Whatever you say."

"I... can I not participate?"

"This friend from Apocalypse Paradise, you're already Tier 8, can you not be so cowardly?"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

The figure who spoke knelt on the ground, their dejected appearance as if they had lost all hope in life.

"Friend from Reincarnation Paradise, see you on the Demon Spirit Star. In past World Conquests, you were the faction that won the most. Prioritizing dealing with you is the best choice."

Just as the dark figure's words fell, the surrounding space began to become chaotic.

The scene before Su Xiao changed rapidly. Tall, crowded buildings stood in rows, the wall plaster cracked from long periods without repair. In the gasoline barrels used as trash cans by the street, flames were burning. Various rusty metal pipes were distributed outside the walls, making the already crowded buildings almost connected together.

A kind of smoke like black iron sand drifted over the city. Inside the towering chimneys, this black smoke was rising, and steam was spraying out from the nearby metal high-rise buildings, with large sparks visible within the steam.

This is the City of Smoke, chaotic and disorderly, yet free. But the premise of freedom is being strong enough; otherwise, you will lose your life.

Drip, drip~

Blackened water droplets dripped from above. In an underground prison, Su Xiao opened his eyes in the darkness.

With a creak, the iron door of the prison was pushed open. Due to age and severe rust, the sound of the door opening was harsh and ear-piercing.

A strong man wearing a dirty uniform and over 1.9 meters tall stood outside the cell door. He took a deep drag of his cigar, exhaled a large cloud of thick smoke, and said with a helpless tone:

"Consider it us begging you, leave our territory. You people from the Black Tower are all abnormal."
