Apocalypse Gachapon

This time, it wasn’t just the people surrounding Ye Zhongming who were shocked—even Ye Zhongming himself was slightly puzzled.

Usually, he had never summoned a hell creature of this level before. Why was his luck so good today?

But this was a good thing for Ye Zhongming. He now felt even more confident.

The puppet warriors from the Ruins Formation Disk were enough to hold off most of the Guan City evolved. The constantly emerging undead creatures would inevitably intercept the remaining ones. With the addition of the Lightning Sand Monster and the two ice birds, victory was already within reach.

Ye Zhongming himself only needed to deal with three eight-star evolved. With the help of this level-eight hell creature, it wasn’t particularly difficult.

If the people here were allowed to choose again, they would undoubtedly make the exact opposite decision.

As for the Guan City evolved, seeing the “flora and fauna” Ye Zhongming had summoned, their hearts were already trembling. Even the three eight-star assassins from the Heavenly Stems and Earth Branches had snapped out of their earlier thought that the King of Cloud Peak wasn’t much of a threat.

Even if this man truly lacked combat experience, just these few summoning abilities and his bloodline were enough to place him among the strongest evolved in the nation.

But no matter what the people present were thinking, the battle was now unavoidable.

A beautiful little star appeared a few meters above Ye Zhongming’s head, spinning leisurely. The sky darkened, and the world entered a night-like mode. Under the starry sky, silver star sand drifted and swayed, enveloping the entire battlefield.

The ability of the Star Spirit had been activated. Since the previous time Ye Zhongming used it to complete the mission for the Celestial Race, he had once again entered his full-powered state.

“Movement has slowed.”

“Attack speed isn’t affected.”

“No other damage.”

Knowing that a fight to the death was inevitable, many people had already become somewhat numb to Ye Zhongming’s constant use of various abilities. They quickly assessed the situation, looking for ways to counter it.

Soon, they figured out the characteristics of the Starry Sky Vision and the associated Star Sand Veil.

However, this couldn’t stop Ye Zhongming’s overwhelming power in this state.

Under the Starry Sky Vision, everything about Ye Zhongming—his physical attributes, the power of his profession, the strength of his skills, his bloodline, and his summoned creatures—had all increased by 25%.

A full 25% increase! If others knew about this, they would probably be envious.

Why did Cloud Peak’s members exclude Ye Zhongming from their private rankings? It was because their leader had too many top-tier abilities and equipment. It would be meaningless if they compared him based on his normal state, as he would undoubtedly use his equipment and abilities in battle. But if they compared him in his fully powered state, Ye Zhongming would be miles ahead of everyone else, making any comparison pointless. That’s why they simply ignored him.

In other words, Ye Zhongming ranked first in almost every aspect within Cloud Peak.

Right now, these people only sensed the effects of this state on themselves, but they had no idea of the boost it gave Ye Zhongming.

But they would soon feel it.

Whether it was the puppet warriors, the undead creatures, or even the ice birds, they suddenly became much more powerful. The battle, which had been somewhat balanced, now took a drastic turn. The casualties among the Guan City evolved rapidly increased. If it weren’t for the well-organized formation and the clear division of labor between ranged and melee fighters, they might have already collapsed.

Without even looking, Ye Zhongming knew how the other areas of the battle were going. His eyes were pitch black, and he looked at the two assassins, still searching for an opportunity, and smiled. “What’s the matter? Still not attacking? Are you waiting for me to kill all your helpers?”

Ye Zhongming’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for many people nearby to hear.

His words were very direct.

The three assassins from the Heavenly Stems and Earth Branches were the backbone of these Guan City evolved. Because of them, the others decided to attack Ye Zhongming. Similarly, with Ye Zhongming summoning so many creatures, these three needed the Guan City evolved to hold off the King of Cloud Peak’s helpers.

But if they didn’t act soon, it would undoubtedly make the others dissatisfied, as it would seem like they were sacrificing others’ lives.

Heaven Zi and Heaven Jia gritted their teeth. Attacking now was undoubtedly a bit forced. At least up to this point, Ye Zhongming hadn’t shown any obvious weaknesses. For assassins, losing the element of surprise already significantly reduced their threat. If they couldn’t find a weakness to exploit, it would be like fighting with half their strength gone.

But they had no choice. The hell creature Ye Zhongming had summoned was already heading toward the Guan City evolved, and the pressure they were under could cause them to collapse at any moment. If that happened, they wouldn’t just be facing Ye Zhongming alone—they’d also be up against all his summoned creatures.

And group battles were not their forte.

Heaven Jia was the first to attack.

Although he didn’t seem to have changed much, he had already activated his bloodline. His bloodline was special—it was called “Star Flash.”

This continuous bloodline increased the user’s burst power during attacks, with the degree of increase proportional to the evolved’s agility.

Heaven Jia had chosen a job and skills that were all related to agility to complement this bloodline. Even his equipment had options that increased his agility.

This gave him speed comparable to an assassin, even though he didn’t have an assassin job. Moreover, his attack power was unique—every attack he made now dealt 150% of its normal damage.

Heaven Zi followed closely behind.

He was a full-fledged assassin with the job name “Falcon Plague Assassin.”

Ye Zhongming, holding the Undead Sand Moon Blade, didn’t retreat. Instead, he actively moved forward to meet them.

At the moment before the collision, Heaven Jia’s arm blades suddenly emitted a blinding golden light.

Ye Zhongming instinctively squinted, and in the next moment, he felt a cold breeze rapidly approaching his ear.

He switched to holding the blade with one hand and raised his other hand to block the side of his head.

Clang! Clang!

Three figures clashed and then separated in an instant.

The Undead Sand Moon Blade blocked one of Heaven Jia’s arm blades, while the glove on Ye Zhongming’s hand blocked Heaven Zi’s claw.

But!

Both the arm blades and the claws had more than one attack.

Two more followed almost immediately after the first sounds, though these were much less crisp.

Ye Zhongming retreated while the two assassins began to move to the side, looking for their next opportunity to strike.

Glancing at the faint marks left on his glove, Ye Zhongming was somewhat surprised by Heaven Zi’s claw-like glove equipment’s level.

It must be gold-grade equipment; otherwise, it wouldn’t have left even faint marks on his blue-grade glove, especially with the dual protection of the Black Earth Armor and the Black Halo Shield.

As for the parts of his body that the arm blades and claws had struck, the high defense of his armor had rendered the attacks ineffective.

“Not bad,” Ye Zhongming said lightly, which was already high praise for his opponents.

Heaven Zi and Heaven Jia, however, were utterly shocked.

Just moments ago, they had thought that Ye Zhongming was merely relying on good equipment, a strong job, a powerful bloodline, and numerous summoned creatures but lacked combat experience—probably because he was usually too well-protected.
