Not long after Wind Frost City was destroyed, Jiaojiao arrived via Teleport and used her King's Order to rally every member of the Invincible Continent.
The two armies clashed.
In the beginning, the Invincible Continent players came in strong, easily breaking through the Assembled Gods Continent players' defense line. However, their momentum did not last long, and soon they found themselves in trouble.
The Assembled Gods Continent players resurrected on the spot as soon as they fell. They seemed to have an unlimited number of Holy Light Talismans, whereas the Invincible Continent players did not have so many means to resurrect on the spot. Once they died, they would have to corpse run or resurrect from the temples.
Faced with millions of unkillable cockroaches, even the overwhelmingly powerful Invincible Continent Army began to fall back until they scattered altogether.
Flower Underpants arrived with thousands of Wizards, and they cast the Forbidden Curse, Asteroid Fall.
[Asteroid Fall: A Forbidden Curse that summons asteroids from space, dealing damage to everyone within 1000 square yards!]
This was a Forbidden Curse that attacked friend and foe alike. Anyone within the range of the Forbidden Curse, be it allies or enemies, would all suffer damage from the asteroids.
Once the Asteroid Fall crashed into the armies, the Assembled Gods Continent players were reduced to a third of their initial number. However, even that did not last long, and the players who were killed by the asteroid immediately stood up and resurrected on the spot.
Their ability to resurrect on the spot infinitely made Amber Sword Heart's army unstoppable.
On the other hand, Li Yi stopped being Frozen, so he used Teleport to reach Wind Frost City and join the battle.
A phoenix of flames appeared and spread its wings, flying toward the Assembled Gods Continent players.
Li Yi shot out a True Overlord Arrow and took down at least several hundred Assembled Gods Continent players. When he activated God Mode and used his Chrono Territory at full power, every enemy player enveloped in his Territory light barrier was completely helpless to stop him.
They could not fight back at all!
Even someone as strong as Amber Sword Heart could only move as slowly as a snail when covered by his Chrono Territory light barrier. As for the other players with weaker or no Territories, they could not even move an inch, staying absolutely motionless in the Territory.
Li Yi could temporarily turn the tables on the whole war, all by himself!
While Li Yi had control of the situation, Jiaojiao reorganized their men and surrounded Amber Sword Heart's entire army.
The amount of time a Territory could last would also change depending on how many enemies were trapped within the Territory. If there was only one enemy in the Territory light barrier, then Li Yi's Rank 10 Territory would allow him to maintain his Territory for a good 24 hours. However, if there were hundreds, thousands, or even tens and hundreds of thousands of people inside the Territory, the time it could last would be drastically shortened. Forget 24 hours, it would be a miracle if he could keep it up for over a dozen minutes.
Li Yi's Rank 10 Territory lasted for barely 5 minutes before the cracks began to show.
There were simply too many players inside. He could not hold on much longer.
After Li Yi's Chrono Territory disappeared, the Forbidden Curse prepared by the tens of thousands of Invincible Continent Wizards took effect instead.
Using a Forbidden Curse was like burning away its weight in gold, but considering the current circumstances, there was no way they could put up a fight without using them. In other words, they had no choice but to use these curses.
A powerful Divine Inferno Spell crashed down on them, taking out almost all of the several million Assembled Gods Continent players.
However, to the Invincible Continent players' despair, the dead Assembled Gods Continent players all resurrected on the spot and jumped back into the fray without a moment's hesitation.
"Are these all f*cking Holy Light Talismans?"
"Something's wrong, what the f*ck?!"
"Hey, I've been watching one of those punks, he's resurrected nine times! Weren't you supposed to be forced back to your country after resurrecting five times in a row?"
"Aaaaah, I can't take this anymore!"
Even Li Yi frowned at how the enemy kept resurrecting endlessly.
Unlimited resurrections? Was it the effect of the Holy Light Talismans, or could there be something else?
What was going on here?
Nothing as strange as this had ever happened in the eight years of King of Pantheon's operation in the past life!
"Comrades, aim for the leader! Kill that retard Amber Sword Heart!"
The Huashan Guild arrived on the scene, and Scumbag Wang waved his kitchen knife, riding on his black donkey and leading 800 Huashan Guild members into a fearless charge.
"Come back, Leader Scum!"
"Don't go in there, retard!"
"F*ck, what the heck are you doing?!"
There was a flurry of messages in the Alliance Channel, but no one could stop Scumbag Wang. They could only watch helplessly as the Huashan members charged in.
The sky above them turned pitch black, and countless asteroids rained down from above, crashing into the ground...
"Asteroid Fall!"
The Forbidden Curse had been cast again!
Wizards could only come together and cast a Forbidden Curse once a month, and after they did, their Attributes would be reduced by 20% for a whole month as punishment. In other words, no one would like to use these expensive yet harmful spells unless they had absolutely no choice.
These three consecutive Forbidden Curses were the last cards that the Invincible Continent players had in their hand.
The materials required to cast those spells cost at least 20 million, and several tens of thousands of their Wizards would have their Attributes reduced by 20%. It was a steep price to pay...
The 800 Huashan Guild members and their Leader Scum all lay prey to the Forbidden Curse.
Scumbag Wang yelled even as he lay on the ground, "F*ck, Old Dark, tell them to change their attack mode to Country!"
The asteroids rained down indiscriminately, killing the Assembled Gods Continent players who had just resurrected.
However, something peculiar happened again. The players who were killed all resurrected on the spot once more, and they continued to fight as though nothing had happened.
Confused Fox yelled in the Alliance Channel, "My friends, something's not quite right here."
"Retreat!"
"Jiaojiao, teleport to coordinates 522144: 254444111."
Li Yi sent Jiaojiao a private message and teleported to the coordinates he gave. Three seconds later, Jiaojiao teleported there as well.
Li Yi said, "Give the order! Pull every one of our men out of the battlefield, tell them to stop fighting!"
Jiaojiao gave the King's Order and pulled every one of her countrymen who were still engaging Amber Sword Heart's Army back to the Celestial Capital.
They could no longer continue the fight. It was no longer a matter of whether or not they could win, because with the Invincible Continent players' powers, defeating Amber Sword Heart's army would be a cinch. However, the enemy could resurrect on the spot as many times as they wanted, so if Li Yi and the others insisted on fighting them to the end now, that would be nothing short of self-torture.
"Something's definitely off. We fought for so long, but they just resurrect on the spot infinitely. What's more, I noticed they don't even drop any equipment. Our guys lost a ton of stuff, on the other hand, suffering pretty heavy losses."
The female Dwarf commander, Shangguan Bailu shook her head as she explained all the suspicious elements she found.
"We can't do this anymore. I could kill a few hundred with a powerful spell, but they just stood up immediately anyway. After that, they just put in one hit each and killed me right there and then." The Little Drunk Cat Guild's strongest Ice Wizard, Wang Wang Dumplings looked utterly exasperated.
Li Yi said, "Go investigate and find out why they can resurrect on the spot."
It was quite easy to investigate how an army of a million players managed to resurrect infinitely. Soon enough, they caught wind of the reasons.
"Apparently Drifting Snow used a buff called the Divine Protection Spell on them. It means that for twelve hours, they won't drop their equipment, and they can resurrect on the spot as many times as they want when they die."
"The Divine Protection Spell?"
Something sparked in Li Yi's mind. He had heard of this buff before too, it was a god-tiered spell that was even more powerful than a Territory, and players could only cast it one of two ways. One was to use a rare Divine Protection Spell Scroll, and the other was to have a god cast it themselves.
If a god had cast it, then the god would lose their divine powers for a month. It was a steep price to pay. However, Mount Pantheon was not open to to the public yet, so there should not be any gods around the Pantheon Continent...
Could he have used a Divine Protection Spell Scroll?
Li Yi contacted Fire Ice.
"Buy all the materials for the Ice Goddess' Sigh spell, ASAP."
Fire Ice was the nation's minister of finance, and everything to do with the Iron Alliance's finances had to go through her.
The Divine Protection Spell only lasted for twelve hours, and this powerful buff could not be used consecutively either. Every player could only enjoy the buff once a month.
Since they could not defeat Amber Sword Heart's infinitely resurrecting army head-on, then they may as well figure out a way to stall the enemy, so that the enemy would not be able to destroy any more of their property.
As all the Invincible Continent players gathered at the Celestial Capital, the National Channel was filled with news of the major cities getting attacked. In just over an hour, eleven major cities had been destroyed.
While they were buying the materials for the spell, Li Yi kept an eye on Amber Sword Heart's movements. As expected, the enemy was coming straight for the Celestial Capital.
If the Celestial Capital was destroyed, the entire country's systems would crumble. To all the players of that country, that was a loss they could not afford to suffer.
"We can abandon the other major cities, but the Celestial Capital must be defended!"
The situation was precarious, so a decision had to be made.
Confused Fox and Flower Underpants spammed the National Channel with passionate messages, rallying all the citizens of the country to defend the Celestial Capital. In dangerous times like these, they could use every bit of help they got.
"Our country's in trouble! Comrades, hurry to the Celestial Capital, and let us defend the pride of the Invincible Continent together!"
More and more players gathered at the Celestial Capital, filling up the streets. There were several thousand messages every second on the National Channel, popping up at a dizzying frequency. Finally, Jiaojiao had to mute regular players from speaking on the National Channel, allowing only the country's officials to speak.
Soon enough, they collected the materials required for the Ice Goddess' Sigh spell. More than 50, 000 Wizards who had not used the Forbidden Curse earlier gathered outside the Celestial Capital, waiting for Amber Sword Heart's army to arrive.
Half an hour later, the Assembled Gods Continent Army arrived, and they immediately used Ice Goddess' Sigh, freezing the army of millions completely solid...
"Crack crack crack crack crack crack..."
Something bizarre happened again. The Assembled Gods Continent Army did not stay Frozen for long. Within two to three minutes, the ice around their bodies began to scatter and vanish.
Amber Sword Heart, who had resurrected on the spot with full health, pointed his sword in the direction of the Celestial Capital, yelling authoritatively, "Kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The cheers echoed into the sky and the Assembled Gods Continent Army of millions broke past the defense line of Wizards, surging into the Invincible Continent's Celestial Capital.
