The tone had clearly shifted with just a few simple words.
Originally, the faction orchestrating today's sche harbored ambitions of becoming world leaders, aiming to lay groundwork for the future "New World" power structure through influence tactics. Hence their constant high-and-mighty rhetoric about "protecting the world" and "shadowy forces."
But the problem was - none of the players gathered here today were weaklings. Each possessed extraordinary pride in their hearts.
Did they co to listen to lectures?
Every one of them believed themselves to be the savior - who needed you declaring yourself as one?
True, many here had poor relations with "Sin," but had these people ever considered why?
Wasn't it precisely because they refused to submit?
That's why the East Sea Debate happened, why Perfect Life challenged him upon their first eting.
But refusing to submit to Sin didn't an submitting to you.
Who the hell are you anyway?
Except for those already aligned with your faction, nobody else gives a damn about you!
Under his voluminous robe, a clearly formidable figure grew agitated seeing Sun and Perfect Life suddenly stand up, angrily retorting: "It seems Sin still has hidden allies among—"
Before he could finish, the world's third-ranked Creator also rose, looking amusedly at the opposing group.
Logically, he was an "old player" too.
But having just erged from the ga, his ntality remained youthful, still imrsed in that gaming mindset.
He found these posturing, self-important old-tirs rather entertaining.
Gradually, other restless figures in the crowd began standing up, battle intent rising.
If everyone's standing, sitting would make look cowardly, no?!
"Heaven and Earth Society!" Sun suddenly roared!
Instantly, over a dozen figures stood up simultaneously across the vast beach plaza - including heavyweights like Shui Zhongng and Wu Changkong, the rest being no pushovers either.
Their gazes burned with identical arrogance and excitent as they surveyed everyone present.
"The sun and moon revolve..." Sun grinned.
The remaining Heaven and Earth Society mbers chorused the response: "In cyclical eternity!"
Their unified shout made this re dozen-strong group project overwhelming presence.
Combined with those who'd stood earlier, tensions now crackled like drawn swords.
What was supposed to be a carefully orchestrated conspiracy had first been disrupted by Sin's violence, and now these interlopers were muddying things further.
Sun's declaration had twisted the narrative from "purging human traitors" to a clash between old and new worlds!
As conflict seed imminent...
"......"
The apparent leader of the opposition stiffly intervened: "We... are the Illuminati."
"Friends, this isn't about strength comparisons. We're rely stating that Sin may have been corrupted by the ga's power."
"Moreover, his wanton killings in the real world - you've all witnessed them."
"Yeah." Sun replied dismissively, even picking his ear, "And?"
"We Heaven and Earth Society do that all the ti. Since when do we answer to your judgnts? Let's fight."
"We're the Heaven and Earth Society. You call yourselves the Illuminati? How uninspired!"
Illuminati: "......"
This utterly derailed their prepared recruitnt spiel.
What even was there left to say?
Just then, pig-like shrieks erupted from the building behind them.
"Save !!"
"You... stop! I just—"
While everyone had been posturing, Lu Ce hadn't been idle!
Seeing this crowd suddenly stand up like brain-dead morons to chat, he'd simply started killing first!
The Light Shield user was already critically wounded. Surviving Lu Ce's onslaught this long was impressive, but couldn't change his impending death.
Now reduced to scrambling across the ground...
CRUNCH!
Lu Ce stomped down, shattering the man's ankle - pulverized bone, severed flesh and surrounding rubble mixing together.
"AAAAAH!"
The victim's earlier screams had only earned Lu Ce's contempt - such weak pain tolerance.
His leg pinned the man like a stake, immobilizing him.
Then - the great axe rose!
No last-minute rescue ca as it descended!
A spear shot toward Lu Ce in a diversionary tactic, but he ignored it completely.
BOOM!
The axe fell. Life instantly extinguished. The Light Shield user died with wide, unseeing eyes - he'd truly never imagined dying so abruptly here.
A successful survivor of the old world, granted power and longevity...
Then ca the spear piercing flesh as Lu Ce tanked the shoulder hit - the weapon failed to penetrate his enhanced physique!
Lu Ce casually plucked out the spearhead, wiping it clean.
"You—"
An Illuminati mber began speaking when Sun abruptly charged! He'd long grown bored watching Sin fight. A crimson dragon spearheaded his assault as he followed up personally.
The Illuminati leader tried bypassing Sun to attack Sin, but found himself bogged down as if in quicksand.
Looking up, he t a handso, gentle face.
Perfect Life had teleported close, smiling:
"Senior, I'd love to see how vast this world truly is."
No formalities, no organization - just elite fighters seizing the mont, plunging into chaos!
Amidst the lee, a tallic sphere rose silently skyward, smashing through glass.
Black Knight muttered to itself:
"Fighting idiots. What good cos from tangling with that monster?"
"Whatever... I've got real work to do... as usual, it falls to !"
