The smoke cleared.
The sea surface was empty.
Not a single person remained.
Not even a slightly larger piece of ice could be found.
Only those Sentry Cannons remained.
Their barrels glowing red.
Still emitting faint wisps of heat.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, for completely annihilating the "Nordic Zone·Avenger Squad"!]
[Detected that "Fenrir" has died!]
[Detected that "Rank 2·Solomon" has escaped!]
[Settling Plunder Value...]
[Congratulations, host, for obtaining Plunder Value: 880,000 points!]
[Current Plunder Value ranking: Global First!]
A series of system notifications rang out in Qin Yu's mind.
At the same time.
Because the regional barrier had shattered.
The global channel had been forcibly merged.
The earth-shattering thunderstorm just now.
Along with the system announcement of Fenrir's death.
Had long since caused that so-called [global chat hall] to explode.
[World Channel (real-time translation)]:
"God! Am I seeing this right? Fenrir is dead?!"
"Didn't that female demon just take over Odin's position? It's only been a few hours?"
"Is this the strength of the Huaxia Zone? Too terrifying..."
"Odin is dead, Fenrir is dead, Solomon ran away... The world is about to change."
Looking at these rapidly scrolling messages.
Qin Yu's expression showed no hint of pride.
Change?
No.
The world had already changed.
Ever since that damned "unknown rule collapse" began.
This world.
Was no longer just a simple Survival Game.
Someone was behind it.
Or rather.
Something was behind it.
Pushing everyone toward death.
Pushing them to kill each other.
Qin Yu walked to the control console.
Picked up the golden microphone that had always been hanging on the wall.
[Item: S-grade area-wide broadcast speaker]
[Description: Even in a storm, your voice can reach every corner. Each use consumes 1000 points of Plunder Value.]
"Zzz..."
The sound of static crackled.
The global channel suddenly fell silent for a moment.
On everyone's System Panel.
A red speaker icon popped up.
That was the symbol for forced listening.
"Hey."
"Can you hear me?"
Qin Yu's voice.
Lazy.
Casual.
Carrying a magnetic tone of indifference.
"I am Qin Yu."
"The one who just killed that mad dog."
Li Ruobing and Yao Qian stood beside him.
Holding their breath.
Watching his back.
They knew.
Qin Yu was about to stir things up.
And it would be something big.
"I know."
"Right now, on this sea."
"There are many people afraid of me."
"And many others."
"Who want to kill me."
"After all."
"My Plunder Value is currently number one."
"Kill me."
"And you can ascend to the heavens in one step."
Qin Yu paused.
The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
"It's fine."
"Those who want to come."
"Come ahead."
"I'll be waiting at Huaxia Zone coordinates (9527, 8848)."
"No matter which zone's rank one you are."
"No matter how many fleets you have."
"No matter if you're human or ghost."
"As long as you dare to reach out your claws."
"I dare to chop them off."
At this point.
Qin Yu raised his head.
His gaze did not look toward the sea.
Instead, it pierced through the shattered ship's roof.
Staring straight at that still gloomy sky, as if an eye was peering down from above.
That was a gaze directed at the so-called "administrators."
"And."
"Those hiding behind the scenes."
"Changing the rules."
"Revoking the safe zones."
"Forcing us to kill each other... things."
Qin Yu's voice.
Suddenly turned cold.
Carrying a murderous intent that sent chills down the spine.
"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do."
"Raising gu worms, is that it?"
"Want to select the strongest gu king, is that it?"
"Fine."
"Then I'll grant your wish."
"I'll kill everyone who stands in my way."
"I'll slaughter my way through this sea."
"Until it's completely cleansed."
"But."
"Remember this."
"The day I reach the top."
"Will also be your..."
"Death sentence."
"In this sea."
"No one can judge me."
"If there is."
"Then I'll smash the judgment seat."
"Kill the judge."
"From now on."
"My word."
"Is the rule."
"Crunch!"
Qin Yu directly crushed the microphone in his hand.
The broadcast came to an abrupt halt.
The world.
Fell into dead silence.
All survivors who heard these words.
Whether they were newcomers trembling on their Rafts.
Or overlords commanding massive warships.
At this moment.
Felt a bone-chilling cold.
A tremor from the depths of their souls.
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
Not only declaring war on all-server players.
But even.
Directly declaring war on that mysterious and elusive "system administrator"!
What kind of confidence is this?
What kind of... madness is this?
Aboard the President.
Li Ruobing looked at Qin Yu's profile.
The stars in her eyes were almost overflowing.
Her heart pounded wildly.
This is a real man.
This is the man Li Ruobing has set her sights on!
Even if it means opposing the whole world.
He'll tear a hole in the sky!
"Brother-in-law..."
Yao Qian adjusted her glasses.
Her face flushed red.
"What you just said."
"Was absolutely badass!"
"Even more epic than the male leads in anime!"
"Did you record it?"
Qin Yu turned around.
The murderous aura on his face instantly vanished.
Returning to his usual unserious demeanor.
"Recorded, recorded! I'm going to play it on loop a hundred times!"
Yao Qian held up her tablet, jumping excitedly.
"Alright."
"Acting cool is exhausting too."
Qin Yu rubbed his sore neck.
Glanced at the devastated battlefield.
And at the Ragnarok, now ownerless, floating on the sea's surface.
"Battle's over."
"Now."
"It's time to collect our spoils."
"That's an S-Class Vehicle."
"Even if it's a bit damaged by lightning."
"The parts we can salvage."
"Are enough to upgrade our President."
"Another level."
Qin Yu walked over to Qi Chun's Floating Fortress.
This guy had been hiding in the clouds, playing dead.
Only now, seeing the battle was over.
Did he dare to lower that half-finished flying saucer.
"Old Qi!"
Qin Yu shouted.
"Stop playing dead."
"Come down and clean up."
"The good stuff on Fenrir's ship."
"You get ten percent."
From within the clouds.
The massive metal disc slowly descended.
Revealing Qi Chun's chubby, sweat-drenched face.
"Qin... Qin Bro."
"You're my real brother!"
"So fierce!"
"I almost pissed myself just now, you know?"
