The entire country was paralyzed again. This time, Li Yi really went huge.
Hundreds of millions of Assembled Gods Continent players flew off their handles. The destruction of their Celestial Capital was a monumental loss to them. They did not have their teleportation doors, so they had to rely on flying mounts, and the increased taxes meant that many players could not even afford to repair their equipment anymore.
Several million players gathered at the Abyssal Canyon, preparing an army to infiltrate the Invincible Continent and seek revenge on Li Yi.
However, the Iron Alliance detected what they were up to ages ago, and before they could even make a move, Jiaojiao was already at the canyon, using her King’s Order to summon all her people to battle.
All of the Assembled Gods Continent’s systems were down, so forget the King’s Order, the country’s officials could not even use their most basic skill, Teleport. If they wanted to gather, they had to travel by themselves.
One strike was all it took to tear the Assembled Gods Continent’s troops apart. Without a King’s Order, it was difficult to even regroup once they were scattered.
They were frustrated and furious, and they could not even take their revenge. As a result, many players finally lost control and started swearing in the World Channel.
Li Yi chose to ignore the curses in the World Channel. Flame wars were useless in the game, where might was right.
Of course, he did not destroy the Celestial Capital twice in a row simply out of spite. There was another reason for it, naturally. When a country’s Celestial Capital was destroyed three consecutive times by the same country, the former would automatically become a Defeated Nation. Such countries would not be able to start a war against another country, and every month, they would have to pay 5% to 15% of their monthly income as protection taxes to the Victorious Nation, the exact amount of which the Victorious Nation had the right to decide.
The Victorious Nation would enter a Protected Period, and the other countries could not attack it during that time. There were only two ways to break out of being a Defeated Nation, either by raising their country’s Prosperity Value to over 500,000 Points, or by having a Castellan announce the independence of their major city, forming a new nation.
In the past life, the Eastern Continent never had a King, so the other two countries often waged war on it. There were several times where they were defeated twice in a row and nearly became a Defeated Nation.
Li Yi’s current plan was to destroy their Celestial Capital three times in a row and force the Assembled Gods Continent into becoming a Defeated Nation, taking them down once and for all!
If he let them recuperate, they would soon regroup and attack the Invincible Continent endlessly. The only way to ensure peace would be to beat them up beating repair.
Without the help of that vicious Divine Weapon, the Emperor’s Sword, there was no way Li Yi could have demolished a Celestial Capital on his own.
Half a month passed, and the Assembled Gods Continent players had attacked the Invincible Continent relentlessly and recklessly the entire time, trying to get revenge on Li Yi. However, half a month had passed and not a single player had succeeded.
Li Yi had the Emperor’s Sword, so he could Teleport as he liked even if his own Celestial Capital were destroyed. If he did not intend to fight, who could catch him?
Still, he did not need to run either. With his current OP level and ridiculous equipment, who could beat him?
Over the past few weeks, Li Yi had been bringing Dolly to the Foreignland to train every day. Dolly was now at Level 139, and once she wore a set of Purple Quality Equipment, her Attributes were no lower than Li Yi’s.
He had guessed right. The only way to have Dolly level up was by having her fight with her own hands. If Dolly did not attack, she would not get any EXP at all.
Thanks to Li Yi’s training, the lazy Dolly had become a lot more hardworking too. As soon as she was summoned, she would immediately hold her Small Bow tightly, awaiting her orders to attack.
Leveling up also resulted in Dolly’s body growing a great deal. She was now as big as Li Yi’s head, and her figure was slowly going from ball-shaped to hourglass. There were two little mounds on her chest too, showing that she was beginning to grow into a woman…
“Swish! Swish!”
Two little Fire Arrows struck a demon, dealing [−75566] and [−74566] in red damage figures.
This was Dolly’s skill, the Aligned Arrow Skill. It was currently her only Archery skill.
Dolly could not learn skills on her own. If she wanted to pick up Archery skills, it had to be by leveling up. She had learned the Aligned Arrow Skill on her own when she reached Level 100.
When Dolly reached Level 100, she also began to display her Innate Ability as a Winged One.
It was known as Metamorphosis!
This was a bit like the Phoenix’s divine reincarnation spell. As long as the Winged One’s master was still alive, whenever Dolly’s health fell to zero, she would metamorphosize back into an egg. After a mere one to three minutes, she would be able to revive with full health and rejoin the battle. At the same time, every time she revived, her Attributes would temporarily increase by anywhere between 1% to 10%. If she revived too many times, her damage output would increase exponentially.
Dolly’s nature had also changed from Spoiled to Mischievous.
When Li Yi gave her an order, she would complete it, but when Li Yi did not give her an order and allowed her to roam free, she would become extremely playful. Randomly pulling aggro was the least of it; she would even occasionally pull pranks on Li Yi, giving him a headache.
Now that Dolly was at Level 139, her base ATK was almost as high as Li Yi, who was at Level 188. Li Yi regretted one thing, though. If he had known he could get Dolly, Li Yi would never have decomposed the Megasnake Bow.
Whenever he saw Dolly use the Aligned Arrow Skill, Li Yi could not help but miss the dearly departed Megasnake Bow. If he still had it, the Aligned Arrow Skill would shoot four arrows at once…
Aside from the Megasnake Bow, Li Yi missed his half a Demon God Equipment Set even more…
Every time the Demon Gods respawned, Jiaojiao would lead a party to raid it, but unfortunately, they never received another Archer set. Right now, Dolly was wearing a Demonic Apex Set.
Barraged by the arrows of Li Yi and his Legendary Pet, Dolly, the green-skinned demon only lasted a few seconds before it was taken down.
There was a flash of golden light around Dolly. She had leveled up again.
The green-skinned demon did not drop anything at all. Li Yi checked the time and waved his hand, keeping Dolly, who was circling around his head, back into the Pet Dimension.
“Squeak~”
Dolly called out softly a few times as her little body faded slowly. When her body vanished completely, her expression was clearly one of extreme reluctance.
The little thing was beginning to like it a lot more when Li Yi let her out.
Li Yi left Sin City and headed to Karan City.
Although he had gotten his hands on the Emperor’s Sword, Aragon still hid many secrets. That was why Li Yi would always make a trip to Karan City whenever he had time to spare, doing Aragon’s daily quests and improving their Affinity.
Li Yi morphed into a demon and casually snuck into Karan City, arriving at Aragon’s grass hut without breaking a sweat.
“Very good, you did well. I see a hint of my old self in you.”
When Li Yi pushed the door open and walked in, he heard Aragon talking to a player.
Inside, a player out of morph was standing in front of Aragon. He was dressed in tight back clothes and held a dagger backward in his right hand. Li Yi could tell from his back alone that this was a Thief.
His name was not hidden, displayed boldly above his head. Li Yi glanced at his name and was instantly stunned.
It was none other than — Ghostly Walker!
