"Brother Mo, Wang Junjie brought the Chaotic World Guild over to help us snatch her."
"Another Genesis Guild force showed up!"
"Wang Junjie's people were all killed by Genesis!"
"Brother Mo! That Smiling at Life bastard is using someone else's power to throw his weight around, trying to get Chaotic World and Genesis to join forces."
"Wang Junjie... actually refused? He'd rather die than give in? Holy crap! Wang Junjie has that much backbone?"
Before coming here, Lin Mo had already been receiving real-time updates from Qin Feng.
So the moment he arrived, he understood the situation at a glance.
Seeing dozens of guild members killed by Genesis, and Wang Junjie, who was still refusing to yield even while being pinned under Liu Kai's foot, Lin Mo knew Wang Junjie had ended up like this solely because he was trying to rescue Zhao Ling'er from Zhang Dong for him.
At that moment, Lin Mo no longer held any prejudice toward Wang Junjie.
Lin Mo always distinguished clearly between gratitude and grudges.
No matter what Wang Junjie had done back in the beginner village or the level-three main city.
At least now, here in the level-two main city, it was obvious that he was genuinely devoted to Lin Mo.
Whether it was getting killed by Black Night in Silent Town while helping Lin Mo obtain the S-rank passive skill Eternal Life;
Or collecting Blood Crystals in the Blood Mine to help Lin Mo with a hidden quest;
Or having his entire force wiped out in the Divine Tomb while guarding the entrance to the Princess's Tomb for Lin Mo;
One thing after another. Although Lin Mo never said anything, he had seen it all.
But all of that only changed Lin Mo's opinion of Wang Junjie and made him stop seeing him as an enemy.
It wasn't until this moment that Wang Junjie seemed to have a new place in Lin Mo's heart, a friend.
Even with Liu Kai's foot on him, with only a sliver of HP left and his life hanging by a thread, Wang Junjie wasn't worried about himself. Instead, he smiled awkwardly at Lin Mo.
"Sorry you had to see that. Hahaha!"
"I didn't bring enough people, or I'd have snatched Zhao Ling'er for you."
"But it's fine. Zhao Ling'er is over there. The rest is up to you. I'm done for. Let me lie here for a while."
Only then did Liu Kai finally realize, Wang Junjie really had come for Lin Mo.
And Lin Mo's target really was Zhao Ling'er.
The deterrent power of the two number ones on the Heavenly Rankings was simply too great.
Even someone like Liu Kai, who commanded a five-thousand-man super guild in Divine Oracle and was, like Wang Junjie, an extremely wealthy second-generation heir in real life, didn't dare make an enemy of Lin Mo lightly.
He respectfully said to Lin Mo, "Sorry, brother. I didn't know Zhao Ling'er was one of your people. If you need her, you can take her away right now."
Lin Mo ignored Liu Kai completely. Instead, he asked Wang Junjie, "How many of your guild members did they kill?"
The strategist Zhuge of the Chaotic World blurted out, "Ninety-five!"
Wang Junjie sneered at the Genesis players.
"Damn it! I'll make you pay this back tenfold next time."
"No need to wait until next time."
Lin Mo said, "You'll get it back now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo took the fifth-tier golden weapon, Illusory World · Wrath of Thunder, off his back.
The moment killing intent burst forth, a powerful force swept over the entire field.
It was only a single motion to prepare for battle, yet every Genesis player nearby immediately sensed a tremendous threat from Lin Mo.
Everyone entered a defensive stance.
"Rulebound... isn't really going to fight us for Chaotic World, is he?"
"Damn it! Didn't everyone online say Wang Junjie and Rulebound were sworn enemies who wanted each other dead? Who the hell spread that rumor!"
"Looks like this fight can't be avoided. Brothers, get ready!"
"Rulebound is ridiculously strong. How are we supposed to fight him?"
"No matter how strong he is, there are only two of them! We've got so many people. Are we supposed to be afraid of just him and Liuli? Whether it's overwhelming them with numbers or locking them down with crowd control, it'll be enough to drown them!"
"If we can personally kill the two number ones on the Heavenly Rankings, our Genesis Guild might become famous in one battle! Brothers, start recording!"
As they spoke, more than a thousand level 55-56 third-class Genesis players surrounded Lin Mo and Ning Xi from every direction with weapons in hand.
As guild leader, Liu Kai also gradually regained his confidence.
He said to Lin Mo, "Rulebound, I didn't want to make an enemy of you. But since you're determined to oppose our Genesis Guild, then don't blame us when blades and arrows show no mercy."
The strategist Genesis Yuange directed the battle, "Rulebound's pet has damage reflection. Before he summons it, Dark Wizards, control him. Mages and Archers, focus your fire and kill him instantly."
Following Genesis Yuange's order, dozens of Genesis Dark Wizards around them raised their staffs and cast their spells at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, dozens of black rays descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
It was none other than the Dark Wizard's ultimate skill, Soul Suppression.
Caught under continuous suppression, Lin Mo and Ning Xi were unable to move.
Seeing this, the tense Genesis players finally relaxed, "I thought he'd be stronger than this. Even the number one on the Heavenly Rankings is afraid of crowd control."
"Control builds forever!"
However, only one second later, the smiles on their faces froze.
Almost the instant Lin Mo and Ning Xi were controlled...
Whoosh!
A dazzling beam of golden light descended beside Lin Mo.
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, a divine maiden emerged from the golden light.
She wore a goddess's crown, a golden jade celestial dress, and golden wings spread from her back. Her beauty was peerless.
Elegant and dignified, with extraordinary bearing.
Beneath the golden skirt, a pair of long, fair, shapely legs stepped down a staircase of light, walking out from the golden radiance.
Every movement was surrounded by divine aura.
Above her head floated the ID.
[Lv68 Divine Descent Seraph · Siya]!
"W-What... what is that?"
"That's... a pet?"
Just as every Genesis player was stunned by the incomparable divine aura of the Seventh Princess of the Divine Race, Divine Descent Seraph Siya.
Buzz!
A burst of golden light spread from beneath Siya, instantly dispersing the dark suppression surrounding Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
Seeing Lin Mo and Ning Xi recover their freedom, while the Dark Wizard players around the edge were still trapped under the effects of their own Soul Suppression, every Genesis player was shocked once again.
"What? They actually broke free from the control?"
"How is that possible? A Dark Wizard's ultimate is a suppression effect. Nothing can remove it!"
"It's that pet! Divine Descent Seraph!"
"What kind of pet is that? It can even remove suppression-type crowd control?"
"Could it be... a Divine Pet?"
For a moment, the Genesis players' shock reached its peak.
And after the shock came endless fear, Lin Mo hadn't even made a move yet.
Just from the fact that the pet he summoned possessed divine might and could remove suppression effects, they realized one thing: They and Lin Mo weren't even on the same level.
In that brief instant, Liu Kai witnessed the divine might of the number one on the Heavenly Rankings.
He gave up resisting on the spot.
Lowering himself, he pleaded with Lin Mo, "Brother, we were wrong!"
"Spare me! I'll give you five million! And from now on, if Big Brother ever needs anything in the world of Divine Oracle, my Genesis Guild will answer your call anytime!"
What Liu Kai never expected was that Lin Mo agreed without hesitation.
"Fine. I'll reluctantly give you one chance."
"As long as you can escape from her alive, I'll let you go."
Following Lin Mo's gaze, everyone on the field looked toward one person: [Lv55 Third Class Arcane Mage · Zhao Ling'er]
