Almost at the exact moment Lin Mo received Super God Athena's message.
Around him, some passing players who were participating in the God-Creation Trial in Divine Mountain Forest happened to be talking, and their voices unintentionally reached him.
"I heard two guilds started fighting over at Ghost King City! Someone's already posted a video on the forums! It's insanely exciting!"
"What's so surprising about that? My studio gets into fights with other studios all the time to compete for business! It's probably because they're fighting over the map. Ghost King City doesn't sound like an ordinary place just from the name! There's probably some incredibly valuable hidden opportunity buried there!"
"This time is different! I heard the ones fighting are the Divine Nation and Genesis Guild! They're both top-tier guilds on our side of Inferno City!"
"Not only that, I heard there's also a Super God Guild that teleported over from another main city! This guild is really powerful too! And there's also a Ghost King over there!"
"Fuck! You mean the Ghost Clan Ghost King from the Oracle Supreme Race? For real?"
"Of course it's real! Didn't someone already post the video on the forums? Go look for yourself! That Ghost King seems to be called… Soul Manipulator or something! It's even a Level 100 Ghost King! Its strength is insanely powerful! The Divine Nation Guild is almost getting wiped out!"
"Fuck! Why bother looking at the forums then? I'm going straight to Ghost King City to watch the live action!"
"Brothers! Hurry up and go watch the fun!"
Lin Mo knew that Super God Athena was a favorite of the "Boss," and, like Frost Dance, was the Boss's goddaughter.
Last time at the Soul Hall, Lin Mo had originally planned to see if he could learn some useful information about the Boss through Super God Athena.
Unfortunately, she was too weak to put up a fight.
At the time, just after Lin Mo and Ning Xi arrived, Super God Athena had already been taken out first by the Level 6 map BOSS, Soul King, causing Lin Mo to miss that opportunity.
Looking at the threatening and scheming message sent by Super God Athena.
Lin Mo smiled calmly, "Last time, you got away by luck."
"I didn't expect you'd actually dare to come and deliver yourself to me this time?"
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, and Xia Wanwan, who had also just completed the second stage of the God-Creation Trial beside him, were faintly worried.
Qin Feng: "Brother Mo, Super God Athena is using the president of your guild, Ming Yuexin, to threaten you and lure you over. Her purpose couldn't be more obvious."
Xia Wanwan: "And by coincidence, the Super God Guild that Senior Lin Mo, you've been investigating recently, and that Ghost King have all appeared in Ghost King City at the same time."
Ling Xiao: "Boss, don't you feel like the smell of a conspiracy here is way too obvious?"
"They're clearly trying to deliberately lure you to Ghost King City!"
Lin Mo, however, said lightly, "That's perfect."
"Since Nether, Frost Dance, the Super God Guild, and the Ghost King have all gathered in Ghost King City."
"For us, why isn't this also a feast?"
Seeing how calm and confident Lin Mo was.
Xia Wanwan's eyes lit up, "Senior Lin Mo, could it be that you already have a plan?"
Lin Mo's original plan had been to wait until he finished the second stage of the God-Creation Trial, then use [Soul Devourer] to set up a trap and lure the Ghost King beside Nether, Soul Manipulator·Zade, out.
Kill the Ghost King.
Unseal Soul Devourer.
Restore its ability to grow without limit.
Right now, "Since you've helped me set up this trap, that's perfect. It saves me the trouble of setting one up myself!"
"Only, in this game."
"Who's in control of the game isn't necessarily you."
Looking at the divine weapon Soul Devourer in Ning Xi's hand, a sharp glint appeared in Lin Mo's eyes.
"Since they want it."
"Then let's give them what they want and hand it over to them."
Hearing this, Qin Feng, Ling Xiao, and Xia Wanwan immediately felt a chill run down their backs.
"Fuck! Brother Mo, you're really going to give it to them? But didn't you say before that if you give Soul Devourer to that Ghost King, it'll be able to use Soul Devourer's power to recover from its weakened state?"
While Qin Feng was completely baffled, Ling Xiao said, "Since Boss said so, he definitely has a plan. Don't stick your nose into it."
At this moment, Ning Xi was also full of anticipation, "Brother Lin Mo, let's hurry over!"
After all, just as Lin Mo had said: Nether, Frost Dance, Super God Athena, The Super God Guild, the Ghost King Soul Manipulator·Zade, all of them were in Ghost King City.
For Nether and the others, this was a conspiracy and trap aimed at Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
But at the same time, for Lin Mo and Ning Xi, this would also be a feast capable of delivering a fatal blow to the "Boss".
Because everyone present was a trusted subordinate of the Boss.
The two left Divine Mountain Forest.
They immediately followed the map's guidance toward Ghost King City.
———
At the same time, elsewhere.
[Inside Ghost King City]
The battle was still raging.
Just as the Divine Nation Guild was fighting two guilds at once and doing everything it could to withstand the attacks from the Super God and Genesis Guilds, with the situation already unfavorable to them.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a dense black mist rose from beneath Ghost King City, instantly spreading across the entire city.
Above Ghost King City, black clouds also covered the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.
In an instant, daytime became like night.
This familiar phenomenon made the people of the Divine Nation Guild present feel intensely uneasy.
At this moment.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
From the black mist in all directions, endless blood mist suddenly erupted.
Immediately afterward.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless white lights symbolizing player deaths shot into the sky.
At the same time...
Rustle!
One streak after another of black energy floated up from within the black mist.
Above this vast expanse of black mist, they gathered into a Dark Archmage dressed in a black robe and holding an undead staff, his entire body flowing with an aura of gloom and radiating a powerful presence that made it hard to breathe.
Above his head, a line of blood-red ID appeared before the eyes of every player present.
[Soul Manipulator·Zade (Lv100 Magic-Type·Ghost King)!]
Instantly, all the Divine Nation Guild players present were shocked beyond words.
"It's that Ghost King that appeared in Dark Night Spirit City last time!"
"It's it again!"
Along with their shock, endless panic spread through the crowd.
After all, back in Dark Night Spirit City.
Divine Nation!
Chaotic World!
Blood Dance!
Dragon Soul!
The scene of their four guilds being slaughtered by Soul Manipulator·Zade was still vivid in everyone's minds.
Among the crowd, Ling Xue's gaze was burning, "This Ghost King is too strong. Find a way to break out as soon as possible. Don't get entangled with it."
At this moment, Soul Manipulator·Zade had already launched an attack against the Divine Nation Guild players.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As the undead staff in his hand swung, countless vengeful spirits were summoned and swept through the crowd...
-63524!
-55987!
-59973!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless white lights lit up.
The extremely high damage caused all the Divine Nation players within the attack range to be instantly killed.
Seeing this, at the rear, Ji Ningshuang couldn't help exclaiming in amazement, "Even in a weakened state with all attributes reduced by 90%, it's still this strong?"
Qin Ming said calmly, "After all, it's a Level 100 Ghost King. With only 10% of its power remaining, dealing with ordinary players around Level 70 at this stage is still more than enough."
"But to deal with powerhouses like Rulebound and Liuli, it has to recover its full strength."
At this time, Super God Athena said, "I've already sent Rulebound a message. He should be on his way to Ghost King City right now."
Ji Ningshuang said, "Since that's the case, let's hurry up and capture Ming Yuexin and use her to threaten Rulebound into handing over Soul Devourer."
