God-level Hero
Chapter 295 - 274 City Alliance

— System Prompt: You have caused significant destruction to the Netherworld City, Ghost Dragon Cliff, and gained +6.1 million Experience! Your reputation at Ghost Dragon Cliff becomes Hatred! Your reputation in Fatalon becomes Trust!

Da Fei burst into hearty laughter! That’s right, I’m the man who arrives with his own background music and thunderstorms!

Exactly! In the game, if an NPC asks players to find something or kill a certain BOSS, it’s usually a trap. But if they ask you to kill a god, ah! That’s when you can rest easy; such unreliable tasks definitely have various powerful NPCs escorting you, and all sorts of items that can weaken the so-called gods, making the task much simpler.

Now that’s the case, as long as Angel Brother keeps dying heroically, every hit from me grants five to six hundred million Experience, damn, that’s like farming Experience for me, haha! And I was just worrying about how hard it is for my whole family to level up.

Another bolt of lightning struck down ruthlessly, and a golden light flashed above Da Fei’s head!

— System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to 37...

— System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Heroine, Catherine, has leveled up to 36...

— System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Selvia has leveled up to 36...

— System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has leveled up to 32...

Leveled up! In just a few minutes, I’ve leveled up twice! Da Fei’s heart soared with infinite satisfaction—I indeed didn’t come to the Netherworld for nothing!

Samaster angrily said, "Samael, even if your Fatalon has the natural barrier of the Light Barrier, if your own Divine Power depletes too much, it won’t last."

Samael laughed loudly, "Won’t last? My territory is so unwanted that I’d give it away, but no one would take it!"

Samaster snorted, "Even in the eyes of the Undead, Fatalon has value! The value of destroying Fatalon far exceeds its occupation value! I believe many local Overlords have long disliked Fatalon and have wanted to destroy it for a long time."

Samael chuckled, "For me, the value of destroying Ghost Dragon Cliff is also greater than occupying it! But I assure you, compared to Fatalon which is of little benefit to the Undead, the nearby Overlords will prefer to attack your Ghost Dragon Cliff!"

Samaster angrily said, "It seems you want both of us to be injured?"

Samael laughed, "Do I have another choice? You may tolerate all enemies, but certainly not me, once you grow stronger, I won’t even have a place to retire."

Samaster sternly said, "You still have one option! That is, to join forces with me!"

Samael laughed as if he heard the funniest joke, while Da Fei was utterly baffled! Do they really have an irreconcilable feud?

Samaster continued sternly, "Originally, you wouldn’t qualify to join me, but now you do! I must say, you have quite a unique vision!"

Samael chuckled, "Oh?"

Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat; he understood that—they’re talking about him! Damn, I really am amazing, I’ve become an important bargaining chip in divine negotiations! Sheesh! Happy to be a bargaining chip? Blasting for Experience is what truly makes me happy, let them talk, I’ll keep blasting! Hahaha!

Samaster continued, "Our power is limited, and the vastness of the Nether Sea can definitely accommodate both of us to develop together. Although we seem irreconcilable, we actually have a more solid basis for cooperation than anyone here."

Samael said lightly, "Let’s hear it."

Samaster said lightly, "First, we are both outsiders, unwelcome by the local Overlords. Second, as a Fallen Angel, the Divine Realm no longer has a place for you, and looking at all the worlds, none would accommodate you, mutual destruction is not in our interests. Third, even if we don’t trust each other and eventually have to fight, it shouldn’t be now. If we fight now, neither side will have a victor, and other Overlords will take the chance to drive us out of the Nether Sea! So, our only option now is to cooperate!"

Da Fei was suddenly taken aback. Fallen Angel? Hey hey, he is a Death Angel, okay? Just because his position is humble, doesn’t mean you can tarnish his political correctness, right?

Samael laughed loudly, "You speak as if it makes a lot of sense, but where is the sincerity?"

Samaster said in a deep voice, "I don’t have anything to show my sincerity! You must take a risk, just like the crazy action you initiated! I admit, you won this gamble, but I can take a defensive stance in the future, as long as I last longer than you, waiting for your Fatalon to be destroyed first, then my time will come. You should understand. The storm is about to arrive, we don’t have much time for negotiations!"

Samael shook his head and then smilingly asked the cockpit below him, "Mortal, we are just allies, you are not my subordinate, I think the most important thing is still up to your opinion."

Allies? Fuck, I love to hear this! But what I love more is bombing cities to grind for experience, right?

— System Prompt: Ghost Dragon Cliff forces and Fatalon forces are attempting to forge an alliance. As a key figure in the alliance, you have enough influence on the situation. Do you agree to the alliance between Ghost Dragon Cliff and Fatalon?

— System Prompt: If you do not agree to the alliance, both parties will maintain their current state of conflict. If you agree to the alliance, your relationship with Ghost Dragon Cliff will be restored to "Cooperative."

A system prompt actually popped up! Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched suddenly! Does this mean a big mission is coming? Asking if I agree? Isn’t that obvious? I’m so weak, of course, I prefer peace! Divine War is not something mortals can meddle in, they could blow me away with a fart! But here’s the thing—where’s the sincerity? I’m only this awesome because I relied on a Divine Artifact that I might not dare to use next time! What if I get exposed, and even if I want revenge next time, I won’t have the guts!

Right, I want sincerity! Samael is a poor sod, this city lord definitely can’t be a poor sod.

Da Fei then shouted loudly, "Lord City Lord, although you don’t have anything to show sincere respect to Lord Samael, as a mere mortal, I do need sincerity, which you, Lord City Lord, should be able to satisfy, right?"

Samaster laughed heartily, "Mortal, the specialty here is the 8th-level troop, Necromancer Dragon, and to show my sincerity, I will open the recruitment of Necromancer Dragons to you. However, if we reach an alliance agreement, I will first give you one for free, how about that?"

Da Fei’s eyes widened at the revelation! So those white blinding Ghost Dragons are 8th-level troops! No matter the race, 8th-level troops are absolutely badass like a BOSS, Hell Baron, Leviathans, Blazing Angels, all extremely powerful! It’s just not apparent how powerful these dragons are here because their opponents are gods!

Da Fei was suddenly very tempted! First, Da Fei no longer wants to risk it in the Nether Sea, it’s best to opt for peace. Whether it’s a real alliance or a fake one, as long as I can safely escape back, who cares if there’s a deluge in the Nether Sea behind me?

Second, it seems I’ve heard on the guild channel the past few days that foreign pro players are planning to focus fire on me, I desperately needed powerful troops to hold fort!

No need to say more, I agree to the alliance!

Samael laughed heartily, "Mortal, I’m taking a gamble with you!"

Samaster said solemnly, "Mortal, a wise choice!"

— System Prompt: Battle is over! You have facilitated the alliance between Fatalon and Ghost Dragon Cliff, your reputation in Ghost Dragon Cliff is restored to "Cooperative!" Your reputation in Fatalon has changed to "Respected!"

— System Prompt: A Necromancer Dragon has joined your troops! Your troops’ Morale -5!

— System Prompt: You have received information about the Epic Quest "New Pattern of Nether Sea." You will be able to officially start the quest after reaching level 50.

Fuck! An actual epic quest! Fortunately, it’s not my problem right now! But this Necromancer Dragon’s Morale drop is too fierce! Looking at a huge white glowing Bone Dragon settling on top of the cockpit, Da Fei quickly checked the information about the Necromancer Dragon!

— Necromancer Dragon: Large undead 8th-level troop, Attack 65, Defense 55, Damage 65-105, Life 1700, Command Value 40, Attack Speed: 10, Magic Resistance +65%, Dark Magic Resistance +90%, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Toxic Cloud Spew, Aging Curse, Morale Lowering, Ghost Body.

— Toxic Cloud Spew: Can create a strong corrosive toxic cloud that damages all enemy troops within a certain area, effective against mechanical and elemental bodies.

— Aging Curse: Can make an enemy in a tactical position age! During aging status, Life Value, Damage, Speed reduce by 20%~50%. Ineffective against mechanical and elemental bodies. Can be used once per battle.

— Morale Lowering: The morale of all life troop types is reduced by -5 by the Necromancer Dragon.

— Ghost Body: The Necromancer Dragon has a 50% chance to completely dodge a physical attack. After dodging twice in a row, the third strike is guaranteed to hit.

Da Fei was utterly astounded! Such a tricky special skill! This is the Necromancer Dragon! A strategic troop type, truly a top-tier strategic troop type! What does it mean by a top-tier strategic troop type? It means a troop type that just by being in the array, even without taking any action, can have a huge effect! In the face of such powerful special skills, attack, defense, and damage attributes are no longer important! But it’s just too painful to drop our troops’ morale like this!

Just then, Samaster said solemnly, "Lord Samael, please allow me to address you in this manner now, the storm is about to land, as an ally, you should think of ways to reduce my losses!"

Samael laughed heartily, "Alright! To show my sincerity, I’ll expend some energy then!"

Samael then looked towards Selvia who was devoutly focused on him on the Octopus, smiled faintly, "Nun, the more you’re in a place like the Netherworld where Light Energy is scarce, the more difficult it is to cast spells, and the more you can appreciate the value of Light Energy. Conversely, you can focus more to understand the essence of Light Energy. It seems you’ve grasped some Skill Insights through capturing the trails of the wind, truly commendable! Watch closely now, I’ll only demonstrate once!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendations and monthly votes at qidian.com.
