1932 Chapter 1932. Infernal Punishment

A considerable distance away from the location where World Throne used to be, a group of people watched what had happened from atop a small wooded hill. The trees on this hill were still intact. A rarity in a region already conquered by the underworld forces.

The players hid behind the trees. They feared somehow the man in the sky might notice them.

"We are too far from the scope of his sense," Master said. He was the only one who stood in the open. "Even though he is a G.o.d, the system still applied some limitations on him. Unless we are within his territory in the underworld, it is unlikely he could sense us from this distance."

Despite Master's words, the others stayed hidden behind the trees. Only until Lucifer was gone from the sky that they walked out. They stood there in silence, gazing at the flat land where their guild headquarters used to be.

"Are you sure he has limitations? He erased our headquarters in the blink of an eye…," Soundeffect asked.

"I'm more impressed by how cold-blooded our leader is," Ronald said. "He left all those people there to be slain."

No one could guess if Ronald was mocking Master or if he was genuinely impressed. Master himself didn't show any sign of being offended by the words. After receiving the report of Giddo's team getting ambushed by the demons, Master knew his ploy had been found out. So, he called this group and brought them away from the headquarters.

"If we took everyone out, Lucifer would know something was wrong," Master said. "He will then go on a search mode. We will be found. By sacrificing those people, we buy ourselves some time."

"They don't truly die, anyway," Motherboard said. "They will just revive at the rebirth zone inside the destroyed settlements."

"Which should be crawling with demons," Master said. "I'm sure Lucifer commanded his demons to wait at every rebirth zone in the regions they have conquered. Forget about those people. They will suffer. They just have to bear it until I gain divinity. I will then free them and reward them for their sacrifice."

Sizhad chuckled. "And here I thought you plan to just sacrifice my guild. You are more ruthless than I expected."

"If Lucifer had called for a dialogue instead of just obliterating World Throne without any warning, I would have done that," Master said.

"What should we do now?" Mistress asked.

"We split and go into hiding," Master answered. "It won't be long now. You people will know once I take over this world. You can come find me then."

Finished speaking, Master flew away. They stared at him going into the distance. Once he was gone out of sight, they looked at each other. It was clear from their faces that they were unsure about what to do.

"Uh… Now that we are not considered friendlies by the underworld forces, the demons will attack us on sight, won't they?" Soundeffect asked.

"They will," Mistress answered.

"Heh," Ronald snickered. He then waltzed away just like that.

Sizhad didn't say anything. He looked at his guild members, which were not many. Master only let him bring a few of his trusted aides. The rest was left behind to be sacrificed. They communicated using messages. They then left the group without saying any farewell.

Mistress did the same. She also only brought a few of her guild members. Lead designer and Axelmax were there with her. They left without saying anything to the others.

"Uh, what now?" Soundeffect asked Motherboard.

Motherboard didn't know how to answer.

On Palgroth Southern Front, Wilted and the others were still battling Leviathan. Leviathan's HP was so high that they needed two days to whittle it down to below twenty percent.

Leviathan lost most portion of his HP when Paytowin's skills were off cooldown, particularly the Omega Battle Mech and Mothers.h.i.+p Sigma. Paytowin's skills might seem to outcla.s.s the others, but his cooldown was also the longest. The cooldown of Omega Battle Mech and Mothers.h.i.+p Sigma was twelve hours.

After exhausting all the skills from his pinnacle cla.s.s, Paytowin could only rely on his regular skills, except for the Alpha Techno Suit. Alpha Techno Suit was a skill that had no duration and cooldown. He could fight in that suit indefinitely. But without his other pinnacle skills, his capability to battle Leviathan fell short compared to the others. He mostly stayed behind the Caelum Whale and used ranged attacks to contribute.

Like his previous Brave Techno Suit, Alpha Techno Suit also had built-in skills. It had an anti-gravity unit that let Paytowin fly without a wings tool. The flying speed of the Alpha Techno Suit was faster than the Brave Techno Suit or regular wings tool.

The anti-gravity unit had no duration or cooldown, Paytowin could fly for as long as he donned the suit. As for the built-in skills with cooldown, the Alpha Techno Suit had three such skills.

The first was the Repelling Forcefield. In an emergency, Paytowin could activate this skill to protect himself. The forcefield repelled all attacks and had its own HP. The forcefield lasted one minute. If the opponent wasn't willing to wait for the forcefield to expire, they had to deplete its HP before Paytowin could receive damage.

The Alpha Techno Suit's second skill was Hyperdrive. It provided similar boosts to Brave Techno Suit's Overdrive except better. It also lasted longer. Its duration was five minutes.

The last skill from the suit was an offensive skill. The activation method was the same as Tetsuo's Ultimate Core Fire, where the core unit on the suit's chest discharged a destructive energy. While Tetsuo's Ultimate Core Fire unleashed a powerful blast hitting a short-range but large area, Paytowin's unleashed a long-range wide beam.

This third skill was called Particle Core Cannon. It wasn't as powerful as the Gamma Ray Cannon, but this Particle Core Cannon dealt soul damage. So, against enemies with high defense and resistance, the Particle Core Cannon might deal more damage than the Gamma Ray Cannon.

With this suit, Paytowin played a supporting role when his Omega Battle Mech was on cooldown. When it was off cooldown, he went to the forefront, taking the tank role from the Caelum Whale.
