Chapter 858: Chapter 421: Base Code

At the moment Mu You killed the Demon King, a prompt also popped up in the games of all players worldwide.

[The Demon King of the Tower of Heroes has been slain for the first time by Hero No. 2459. Current number of players who have successfully slain the Demon King: 1.]

It had just passed 4 PM, the Tower’s open hours had ended, and most players had already left the Tower, gathering on the forums to share their battle results for the day.

Then suddenly, this message popped up, and the forums exploded instantly.

The Demon King, had it actually been conquered?

The detailed attributes of the Demon King had already been revealed this morning.

Never mind the monstrous capabilities of the Seven Deadly Sins, just the terrifying eight million HP was enough to drive everyone to despair!

Nearly everyone who read the exposure post unanimously agreed that the Demon King was unbeatable, at least not anytime soon, even though the post also mentioned the blessing "keep pressing on."

By noon today, many well-known players who specialize in data and strategy had already analyzed that this cliff-like difficulty increase was clearly designed to prevent players from clearing the levels. Even with the blessing, conquering the Demon King would still take years, accumulating enough Initial Divine Offense and Defense could possibly make it through. For this reason, even a prominent figure had opened a bet, stating if someone could beat the Demon King within a year, he would livestream eating a cellphone.

However, just a few hours later, these people were all slapped in the face.

Putting aside the spectacle of eating a cellphone for now, at this moment, everyone was curious—who exactly was this 2459 who conquered the Demon King? Completing such an incredible feat, yet not surfacing even to make a comment.

But this familiar number quickly reminded some people of a previous post they had seen: "2459, I am No. 1... Contact me immediately, there’s something urgent to discuss!"

This baffling post, incomprehensible to many, seemed logical after the opening of the Tower of Heroes because the tower doesn’t display IDs, only numbers. Recently, posts using numbers to locate people have been rampant, mostly about players who were killed by another player inside the tower and unable to let it go, challenging them to a duel outside.

This post was evidently the same case, only it appeared even earlier than the heroes’ missions, indicating that the two individuals involved were among the first batch of players, including today’s announcement hero No. 2459!

This post, which had been buried somewhere, was instantly unearthed and became today’s hot topic, with countless players flocking in, frantically asking who exactly 2459 was. No. 1 also must not be ordinary, having dared to challenge such a boss who was the first to pass the Demon King.

At this moment in Indonesia, Hal and his group were staring at the suddenly fiery post on the forum, also completely stunned.

Just now, the three of them were gathered together, discussing how to defeat 2459 at the start, when suddenly the news of 2459 clearing the Demon King arrived.

Hal and

At the same time in another location, three people were also bewildered. They were still huddled together discussing tactics on how to defeat 2459 when the news that the Demon King had been conquered arrived.

Hal and Casanova exchanged glances, both turning to look at the elderly Black man beside them.

And Isaac, at this moment, had nothing to say, his face alternating between red and white, his expression exceptionally colorful.

The moment he saw the Demon King’s attributes this morning, Isaac had assumed it would take at least a year or more to clear the Demon King. He thought he had enough time to plot and compete with 2459, but who could have imagined their agreement was about to end so suddenly...

Regaining their composure, the same question emerged in all their minds: Who exactly is this person?

"To clear the Demon King, someone with such strength must be one of the strongest in the world!" Hal said.

"But so powerful, yet so low-profile... it could only be the Ghost Captain, right?" Casanova said uncertainly.

Those world-famous experts are generally leaders of major forces. Such masters, having achieved this honor, would certainly be publicized extensively by their forces, as such events greatly enhance an organization’s reputation and prestige.

Among the known experts they knew, only the Ghost Captain had no clear affiliation, and besides occasional system announcements, he never actively boasted about his accomplishments, very low-profile indeed.

And now, as this 2459 has yet to have any expert claim the identity, it has instinctively made everyone zero in on the Ghost Captain, as this was his typical style.

"No way..."

The elderly Black man’s face showed disbelief, realizing he had been boldly challenging such a powerhouse all these days?

Not only were the three of them and the forum filled with speculation about 2459’s identity, at this moment in the City Lord group created by Mu You, several City Lords were also discussing this matter.

Sherlock Holmes: @Ghost Captain. Great God, is 2459 you?

Baron of Hell: Same question, it must be you, right? I cannot think of any other possibility.

Solomon: Truly incredible! I’m armed with an Initial Divine Artifact and have only reached the 90th floor so far. The boss at the 90th floor is too difficult, let alone the Demon King at the 100th!

Blue Beard: ?

Blue Beard: Whoa, Solomon, you’ve got a Divine Artifact already? Where did you get it?

Holy Light Nana: That’s quite a Versailles comment.

Solomon: Hehe, just luck, just lucky...

Sherlock Holmes: Great God, why haven’t you replied?

Baron of Hell: Probably that’s it, having just killed the Demon King, he must still be busy handling all the follow-up.
