Chapter 704: An Attack from an Overlord-Level Creature, I Laugh at Xu Lang's Lack of Wisdom!

"No good, the Firepower Points gap keeps widening, we simply can't catch up!"

Inside Heaven's Judgment Building, management was getting anxious.

It was one thing to fall behind Mad King Building, Mad King Building's points were despair-inducing at a glance, you couldn't even see their taillights, but falling behind Amusement Park Building too, that was just insulting!

There was no helping it, that Ferris Wheel in Amusement Park Building had ridiculously strong output!

"How about I lead a team to blow up that Ferris Wheel?" A female player suggested: "If we put out a call in the Chat Room, quite a few people should be willing to go along."

"The risk is too great, that's a special building, it might not even be destroyable, and you'd definitely be spotted getting close. One round of artillery fire and you could all be wiped out." Chen Bo shook his head.

A red-haired youth said: "Let's just forget it, third place is third place, we're only one point behind second anyway. Better to conserve our strength and save it for the final round."

Everyone thought that sounded reasonable.

Only Solaris waved his hand and said gravely: "No. Aim high and you'll hit the middle, aim for the middle and you'll hit the bottom. If we just sit around waiting for death, Evil King Building might not do the same, and then we'll end up in last place!"

If Mad King Building could rake in millions of Firepower Points right from the start, Evil King Building might be capable of it too. If they pulled out a big killer move as well, Heaven's Judgment Building would be stuck at the bottom again, and all the advantages accumulated in the previous rounds would vanish completely.

"So what do we do now?" The female player asked.

"Wait!" Solaris spat out a single word, then continued: "Inform all players, tell them not to waste Copper Coins, turrets that don't have enough firepower shouldn't be used for now. This round's game time is still very long!"

Chen Bo's eyes lit up with sudden understanding, and he exclaimed in delight:

"Right, right, right!"

"This round isn't just about output, it's also about resource management!"

"With this kind of non-stop turret fire, aside from Mad King Building, no other building can sustain it for long!"

Solaris was about to open the Chat Room to post the announcement when sounds came from the door.

"Lord Solaris, Lord Osiris has returned." A tenant reported.

"Open the door." Solaris said flatly.

Osiris had his own separate dormitory, he wasn't part of Solaris's dormitory, so coming and going wasn't as convenient.

The door swung open and Osiris strode in.

Solaris was prepared to hear bad news, but seeing that Osiris didn't seem particularly urgent, he frowned: "Osiris, weren't you off grabbing Treasure Chests? Why are you back?"

"Xu Lang is gone, and the Mad King Building players have moved their turrets back into the dormitory, so I came back too." Osiris said flatly.

Solaris's expression changed drastically: "Did you notify the others to leave?"

Everyone present was sharp-witted, they immediately recognized this as Xu Lang's signal of departure!

Sure, Evil King Building was sitting at number one, but everyone knew deep down that Mad King Building was the real deal!

"Ha, it's not like they're blind, they can see for themselves!" Osiris sneered: "Besides, even if we said something, would they even listen?"

"F*ck you!" Solaris cursed loudly: "You think this is the time for your petty pride?!"

Osiris's face darkened, but he didn't snap back.

One of Osiris's tenants spoke up weakly: "Lord Solaris, some players have already put up warnings in the Chat Room."

"Good." Solaris said dismissively, but he still opened the Chat Room to remind everyone to retreat.

With great power comes great responsibility.

The weight of his words couldn't be compared to anyone else's.

"If this delays their Treasure Chest grabbing and Firepower Points accumulation, this blame is going to land on your head." Osiris said through gritted teeth.

"I'm willing to bear it!" Solaris snorted.

It couldn't be that a whole dormitory building had no one brave enough to take responsibility, right?

Even though the last time he took responsibility, it had dragged him down, when it was time to step up, he would never hesitate, otherwise his conscience would torment him.

Before the two brothers could finish bickering, a player pointed at the projection screen and exclaimed: "Quick, look! The World Bat is making a move!"

Everyone hurriedly looked over.

They saw the World Bat's wings, vast like clouds hanging from the sky, slowly closing, purple energy gathering around its body, and then suddenly spreading its wings wide!

In an instant, the purple energy swept across all four dormitory buildings like a violent storm, the entire sky darkened, and then a shockwave erupted, radiating several kilometers outward!

The world turned black and white, the air twisted, and all four buildings seemed to be blown flying by the shockwave!

BOOM!!!

The explosion reached its absolute peak, and if not for the dormitory's inexplicable defensive capabilities, every player's eardrums would have been shattered!

This wasn't the end. The World Bat's eyes narrowed, purple rainbow light gathered in its mouth, and after a few breaths, it spat a beam directly at Mad King Building's structure, slicing from top to bottom like a blade cutting through a cake!

Mad King Building wasn't cut open, and the structure didn't suffer major damage either!

Dormitory buildings adapted to damage. Some attacks weren't strong enough, so they could crack the structure, while others were extremely powerful, yet couldn't crack it at all. It was truly mysterious.

As long as the dormitory wasn't completely destroyed, the building would never fall, even an Overlord-Level lifeform face to face couldn't do anything.

But that beam of rainbow light destroyed every single dormitory room in the center of the building, not one spared. A tenth of the rooms became empty shells, not a single person inside, furniture evaporated into nothing.

"Hee hee hee."

The World Bat smiled in satisfaction, like a demon.

The entire scene was dead silent, nothing but its laughter filling the air, as if that world-shattering display had never happened at all.

The players hid inside their dormitories, trembling in fear.

...

"How can it be this powerful? The skill's preparation motion alone destroyed all the dormitory doors below level ten!" On top of the Ferris Wheel, Jester had witnessed the entire process firsthand and nearly broke down on the spot.

Laugh?

He couldn't laugh at all!

Now he was incredibly grateful that Amusement Park Building wasn't that strong. If Amusement Park Building had drawn the aggro just now, that beam of energy might have hit the Ferris Wheel instead.

The Ferris Wheel cabins had Durability, roughly equivalent to a level fifteen Common door, their defensive power wasn't anything special.

"That should have been two skills, or perhaps a two-stage skill." A female player's throat felt stiff, her voice unconsciously lowered: "The damage the dormitory building took was already the edge of the blast. I saw with my own eyes those players grabbing Treasure Chests get vaporized!"

By the end, her teeth were chattering.

Grabbing Treasure Chests, who wouldn't want to? She wanted to as well, but cowed by Jester's tyranny, she, a mere small tenant, didn't dare say a word.

Jester's tenants changed quickly. Those who weren't smart enough, or didn't laugh enough, would be killed off fast!

"Heh heh, ha ha, HA HA HA!" Jester suddenly burst into loud laughter.

The female tenant's scalp went numb, and she quickly played along: "Why is Lord Jester laughing?"

"I laugh at Xu Lang's lack of wisdom!" Jester laughed so hard he was clutching his stomach, gasping for breath: "As long as we stop attacking, Mad King Building is... FINISHED!!!"

As long as Amusement Park Building didn't take over the aggro, the World Bat would keep attacking Mad King Building! Who told them to rack up their Firepower Points so damn high!
