Chapter 184 Chapter 183-Return to Cloud Sea (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
In fact, Blue Sea had the same suspicion as Adam.
Although the player who accomplished the first deity kill chose to remain anonymous in the world announcement, Blue Sea had a strong hunch.
This player must be John.
Over the years, Blue Sea's intuition had never been wrong.
At this time, Adam sent another message.
Adam: Damn, the more we talk about it, the more I believe it's Galewind. I refuse to believe that there's a second player in this game who can compare with him...
Blue Sea: If it really is Galewind, he probably wouldn't deliberately hide it from us. We should get a chance to ask him...
Adam: It's so hard not to feel jealous. We're supposed to be among the top players in the game, but compared to Galewind, we're just a bunch of nobodies...
Blue Sea: Jealousy won't do any good. Galewind's current strength is beyond our estimation... We better just focus on improving ourselves...
Adam: Dude, you're quite the motivational speaker... Anyway, I've just upgraded my guild to level 4 and there's still a ton of stuff to do. I'll ask Galewind later... If he really did kill that deity, some top-tier gear is bound to hit the market. And you better not compete with me for it...
Blue Sea: May the best man win.
Adam: (Flips the bird)...
...
Inside a private room at a small pub in Cloud Sea.
Snowla was heartily downing her beer, with a row of empty large beer mugs beside her.
As she was about to drain the last of her beer, and the server hadn't come over yet, Snowla glared and shouted, "Where's my beer? Do you even know how to do business? Do you want me to smash your crummy pub?"
Her words were just as tough as always, filled with threat...
The pub server hurriedly brought in two more large mugs of beer, his eyes full of astonishment as he looked at Snowla.
He had probably never encountered such a bizarre girl in his life.
She had the purest, most charming face, delicate and cute at first glance.
But her personality was completely the opposite of her appearance, brutally straightforward.
Perhaps noticing the server's strange look, Snowla glared back, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a girl as pretty as me? Keep staring, and I'll gouge your eyeballs out!"
The server quickly lowered his head and briskly exited the room, standing at the door and wiping the sweat from his forehead. She really was too fierce...
Once the server had left, Snowla's bright eyes instantly dulled.
She took sips of her beer while occasionally opening her communication channel, eagerly awaiting the moment it lit up. Suddenly, a system announcement rang in Snowla's mind.
[World Announcement: An anonymous player has achieved the first deity kill. The achievement leaderboard will soon be activated. Players, keep pushing forward and strive to be on the leaderboard!!]
Snowla's eyes immediately turned red, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Clutching her massive beer mug, she muttered to herself, "I knew it... I knew Galewind could do it..."
Nobody knew the immense mental pressure Snowla had been under during this time.
She stubbornly believed that John had chosen to stay in that subspace and face the terrifying fallen deity alone because of her.
She felt guilty and moved at the same time, and was full of worry for John.
She didn't know if John could really handle the fallen deity...
What if it was just him comforting her?
But then she saw the world announcement from the system.
The heart that Snowla had been holding in her chest finally relaxed.
She suddenly lowered her head, staring blankly at the row of empty beer mugs in front of her.
She was doomed.
Galewind would surely be back soon.
What if he saw her in such a drunken state... wouldn't that ruin her image in his eyes?
Snowla suddenly stood up and dashed out of the room like a madwoman.
"Boss, do you have any soup here to sober me up?" she demanded.
...
Inside an antique-style building in Storm City, Bambooist sat in a spacious, quiet room, scanning through a list of warehouse equipment.
Her figure, akin to a ripe peach, was even more tempting in this sitting position.
Her delicate features, bathed in the soft light, were flawless.
This was the headquarters of Travelers.
Since Travelers was not a guild but more like a merchants' alliance, they didn't have the ability to construct their own camp.
And so, the wealthy Travelers decided to simply spend a fortune to buy an entire building in Storm City as their headquarters.
Bambooist was seriously calculating the value of the warehouse's equipment when an unexpected system announcement interrupted her thoughts.
She suddenly lifted her head, a look of surprise flashing across her enchanting eyes.
After a brief thought, a calm smile appeared on Bambooist's face.
"Galewind, you're getting more and more unpredictable... You even managed to do something as unimaginable as killing a deity..."
...
And it wasn't just these places.
The Dawn Guild's camp...
The Silent Ones Guild's camp...
The Cycle Guild's camp...
...
Everywhere in Godslayer Continent where there were players, the system's world announcement was being hotly discussed.
For a moment, the entire Godslayer Continent was in an uproar.
Some players were so shocked that they forgot they were in the middle of fighting monsters and were directly slapped back into the revival pool by the monsters...
Inside the Divine Realm of Leviathan, John had no idea what kind of waves this world announcement from the system had stirred up.
Even if he did know, he probably wouldn't have much of a reaction.
He canceled Abyssal Prison with a wave of his hand and looked around.
As expected, with the Fallen Angel Leviathan completely fallen into the Shadowflame, this subspace also began to automatically disintegrate and collapse.
After all, this was Leviathan's Divine Realm.
Now that the deity itself no longer existed, the Divine Realm naturally couldn't maintain its existence...
John looked down to see nothing but a sparkling treasure chest where Leviathan had fallen.
He strode forward and casually opened the chest.
Several dazzling rays of light erupted suddenly, painting the entire sky with colors.
If it were any other player seeing this, they might jump up in surprise right on the spot.
John, however, remained as calm as ever, merely tucking the exploded equipment and items into his bag.
He glanced casually and spotted the staff Snowla had been longing for.
Only then did he feel relieved.
At least he had something to account for that girl...
As for the properties of the other pieces of equipment, John did not check them immediately.
His most important task now was to hurry up and leave this subspace, which was about to collapse and dissipate.
After confirming he had taken everything from the chest, John released the Divine Blade again.
Holding the energy longsword, he made a light stroke in front of him.
Space immediately ripped open a massive rift.
John probed his divine power into it, ensuring there was no error in his location.
Then, without hesitation, he jumped into the rift...
By the time John reappeared, he was already at the entrance of the Bone Cave.
He turned his head and looked at the entrance to the Bone Cave, which no longer emitted black smoke.
He was filled with emotion.
Indeed, nothing in this world remains unchanged forever.
Even those high and mighty deities, who enjoy the faith of mortals, have their moments of fall...
Without hesitation, John tore open the Teleport Scroll.
His body vanished on the spot.
After an unknown period...
A mighty divine power suddenly descended from the endless sky and swept over this place.
Suddenly, this undetected divine power returned to the Bone Cave.
After sweeping repeatedly, the divine power suddenly roiled up, and a brilliant voice vaguely echoed from within.
"Hmm?"
...
Having just entered the Cloud Sea, John sent a message to Snowla: I'm back safely, I've brought back the items. Where are you?
Snowla responded quickly: Galewind, you're finally back. I'm... I'm just hanging out in the trading hall...
John opened the map and briefly checked: There's a small tavern not far from here. Let's meet there.
Snowla: ... Galewind, shall we change the location?
John: ??
Snowla: I don't like the environment in taverns. It's too noisy.
John: ...
What's going on?
He remembered that this girl used to enjoy drinking.
Why has she suddenly started to dislike the tavern environment?
John took another look at the map: Then let's meet at the Dawn Breeze Auction House branch. I'll have them reserve a quiet booth for us.
Snowla: Alright, Galewind. I'll head over in a bit...
John arrived at the Cloud Sea branch of Dawn Breeze Auction House.
As soon as he presented his VIP card, he immediately received the highest courtesy from the Auction House.
The branch manager personally came out to receive him and provided John with a quiet room with very rustic and elegant decor.
Sitting on the soft chair, John finally relaxed.
The things he had encountered today were too complicated.
What he thought was a simple mercenary quest unexpectedly involved a deity-level creature.
The fight in the subspace, even John was a bit fatigued.
Not because his powers were excessively consumed, but because he had to forcibly suppress his own strength during the fight to prevent the fragile subspace from collapsing and exploding...
It was indeed a bit mentally exhausting...
After waiting for a while, seeing that Snowla was still not arriving, John took out the equipment and items he had just harvested from his bag and placed them on the table.
The entire room suddenly shone brightly, dazzlingly.
