Chapter 265: Chapter 212: Corona City_1

In the 1.0 era, information was disseminated much more smoothly than before. Half an hour after the battle ended, sporadic news began to pop up on the Fool’s forum. But due to lack of substantial evidence, most people maintained a skeptical attitude at first.

However, as more and more people posted similar news, the news finally started to become credible, and its popularity skyrocketed.

It wasn’t until the early hours of the next day when a user representing the official power of the Celestial Dynasty announced on the forum a post titled "Statement about Yesterday’s Elimination of the Remnants of the Illuminati", officially verifying the authenticity of this news.

Suddenly, forums all over the world were buzzing.

The Illuminati were really wiped out!

According to the post and previous scattered news, the entire battle had ended in ten minutes with a complete wipeout of the opponent and no one escaping!

The Illuminati were a legit second-rate organization and a pretty strong one at that. The organization housed three advanced players, dangerously close to becoming a first-rate power!

This time they were labeled as remnants, but it was clear to the wise that this fleeing group was the true force of the Illuminati, consisting of at least 80% of the original Illuminati’s strength.

What’s more important was that the Celestial Dynasty didn’t deploy all of its official powers, only sending four advanced players and a bit more than a hundred mid-tier players. Strictly speaking, this power does not reach the standards of a first-rate power and stands equal to the Illuminati remnants.

Despite this, they completely wiped out the Illuminati without any losses on their side. This only shows that the strength on paper doesn’t represent actual strength. There’s a hierarchy even within organizations of the same grade, with Dragon Soars and Fool’s association obviously on the stronger side.

This incident made many smaller organizations back off their plans.

Previously, it was said that first-rate organizations could wipe out second and third-rate powers. Everyone agreed theoretically, but it never really happened until now. The downfall of the Illuminati proved that the first-rate powers did possess the strength to effortlessly wipe out minor organizations. Under this natural deterrence, powers with devious thoughts dare not stir up trouble.

In short, after this battle, Fool’s Association and Dragon Soars have firmly established their title as "Orthodox Powers". This is the biggest gain.

The previously posted rankings of domestic powers were also updated overnight. Ten Commandments and the Illuminati were removed from the list. Dragon Soars got promoted as the second domestic power, with some original third-rate powers getting up to the second-rate.

The first-rate powers remained the same five, but the Fool’s Association managed to distinguish itself among the five, implying a step further than normal first-rate powers.

The top three organizations reduced to two, but the international standing of Celestial Dynasty’s players increased instead of decreasing. It was rumored that they found a stable source for Evolution Elixir!

This news is yet to be confirmed, but experienced players clearly understood that such a grand event couldn’t be baseless. Recent announcements of leveling up by the masters of several powers of the Celestial Dynasty are proof of this.

This made the players from other countries quite envious. The Celestial Dynasty is already the number one power in the world and now even have a source of Evolution Elixir. It seems destined to gradually widen the gap with other countries.

It’s said that many foreign organizations have begun to look for cooperation with the Celestial Dynasty privately, but there’s no confirmed news so far.

These intricate national and international power struggles are no longer Mu You’s concern.

After the task was over, the group did not stay in Russia. After saying goodbye to the local organization, they returned directly, arriving back home overnight.

The head office was not stingy with the rewards afterward. When the mission members returned to the capital, they held a celebration banquet. They commended all the Fool’s Association members involved in the mission, giving each a basic reward of 2 million in cash and 1,000 points.

In addition, they held a surprise lottery at the banquet. Each participant could draw for an additional reward. The prizes were mainly items confiscated from the Illuminati remnants. There was a wide selection of items and it was hard to distribute them, so they decided to give them out as lottery extras to avoid disputes.

Of course, the head office also subsidized some other items.

The first prize was a mansion located in the center of the capital, worth more than 50 million. It was said to be near the residences of several Dragon Soars elites and was in a location that couldn’t be bought with money. The second and third prizes were 5000 and 2000 points of Dragon Soars software respectively.

The lottery was right up Mu You’s alley. But he didn’t use any flashy maneuvers like rewinding time, mostly because everyone drawing was a colleague who had also contributed to their country. There was no need to take advantage. Plus there were many people on the lookout; doing such tricks could easily lead to trouble.

So Mu You simply went up and drew normally.

Unexpectedly, he actually drew the first prize!

Looking at the red envelope in his hand that had the words ’First Prize’ in bold, Mu You was stumped. He even wondered if someone had tampered with it to make sure he drew this.

The others didn’t care about all that. Seeing the first prize come up, they all clapped and congratulated. Mu You’s performance in the battle was evident to all. If it weren’t for him, the mission would not have been completed as successfully. So at this moment, him getting the first prize seemed well deserved in everyone’s eyes.
