It made Outpost 404 look like a temporary campsite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towering walls of thick reinforced iron and blackened stone completely encircled the city and rose hundreds of feet into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive clockwork gears ground slowly within the architecture. They powered heavy steam vents that hissed localized clouds of white vapor into the clear vibrant blue sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets were incredibly wide. They were designed to accommodate massive player armies, trade caravans, and siege equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, the streets were completely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no other players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no merchants shouting over each other. There were no low-level groups begging for party members.

Their armor clanked rhythmically against the cobblestones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t stop to question Dante. Their base system simply registered his presence, categorized him as a non-threat, and continued their patrol route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante took a deep breath of the digital air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It smelled like hot metal, burning coal, and fresh rain. It was a massive upgrade from the rotting pine and toxic sludge of the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could step off the arrival platform to explore the empty city, the sky above Ironhold shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear blue atmosphere didn’t darken. It ignited with a brilliant blinding gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a purchased broadcast. It was a core system event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive celestial gong echoed across the entire Overture server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound didn’t just rattle the windows in Ironhold.

It didn’t explode into a shower of gold coins or spit out a glowing weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The translucent box simply dissolved into a single concentrated sphere of pure blinding white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light hovered in the air for a fraction of a millisecond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it shot forward and completely bypassed the physical defense of his Dark Demon armor. It sank directly into the center of his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante gasped and stumbled backward slightly. A massive surge of code flooded his neural link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system interface updated violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The text didn’t burn with standard blue or gold.
