"What exactly do you want?" Smiling Jazz’s face was dark.
"I told you, your life." Xu Xiaoyou raised her overheating rose rifle.
Another "Storm Knight" card was applied to the storm steed beneath her.
"You lunatic, you're completely unreasonable!"
Xu Xiaoyou said, "If I were you, I would have stood up that day and offered the main seat to Dark Gold Rose. Then, I’d hand over all my outposts with both hands and get lost as far as possible."
"Arrogant fool."
"If I weren't arrogant, why would I bother being a luminous prism grade? You know I'm at the luminous prism grade and you still haven't tucked your tail between your legs?" Xu Xiaoyou asked back loudly. "This is in Oasis. Outside, do you even have the ability to face the power of refracted radiance?"
"How about this? You become my dog right now. Bark twice. If I'm happy, I'll let everything that happened before slide. What do you think?"
Smiling Jazz naturally wouldn't be affected by the girl’s trash talk. In his eyes, Xu Xiaoyou was no different from a corpse. Once the Soul Feast ended, his people would immediately rush forward and tear the girl to pieces!
Xu Xiaoyou spread her hands. "Stubborn. It's your honor to be my dog. You have to consider the master before beating the dog."
Time passed minute by minute. Finally, the purple flames on the ground receded, and the Incurable Crown entered a weakened state.
"Kill her!"
The members of Silent Sequence, who had been suppressing their fury for a long time, lunged forward together. However, they saw the girl calmly straighten her back, looking completely unafraid.
"Open the door and beat the dogs."
Following Xu Xiaoyou's command, two members of Light-Chaser Garden opened the palace gates, revealing a scene that horrified everyone.
Outside the palace was a wasteland of ruins and scorched earth. Not a single player was in sight. Instead, there were thousands of evil spirits with fierce eyes and excited expressions!
They stood there quietly: rat-men, clickers, rotting nightshade with blade-like scythes, and mountain-sized swollen trolls. Killing intent flashed in the eyes of various elite monsters, and an indescribable deathly aura filled the air.
Like a pack of wolves smelling blood, they surrounded the palace three layers deep, waiting only for the wolf king's signal to swarm up and execute all the king's enemies.
"What is... this?" someone’s voice trembled.
"Don't worry, there are no allied forces outside at this time. The leaders of those large guilds have told their subordinates to stay hidden. Now, it's our private time," Xu Xiaoyou said leisurely.
With such a quantity of monsters, even Silent Sequence would inevitably be dragged into the abyss of a bitter struggle.
The monsters seemed to receive some kind of command and instantly surged in like a tide, quickly sweeping through every corner of the palace.
"Why do such a stupid thing where both sides lose? Do you think your people will benefit from facing these monsters?"
Just as the Sullen-face Baron finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw those monsters surge past Xu Xiaoyou as if they hadn't even seen her sitting on her horse. The girl leaned forward, resting her face on her hand, playfully admiring the stunned expressions of the Silent Sequence members.
"How is this possible!"
"Why aren't those monsters attacking her!"
Someone cried out in shock.
Soon, someone pointed out, "No, it's not just Dark Gold Rose! Look, not a single person from Light-Chaser Garden is being attacked by those monsters!"
"Why is this happening?"
"It's not fair! Dark Gold Rose must have exploited a glitch in the program! EVA, EVA, check this person's game data immediately!"
Someone hurriedly called up EVA, but they only received a cold reply from the girl.
"ID 0E3604 — Light-Chaser Flower-Bearer. Player Xu Xiaoyou has not committed any behavior exploiting game glitches. Please self-examine your words for any errors. Over."
The person was so angry they almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blonde girl practically had "I'm cheating, what are you going to do about it?" written on her face. Yet, EVA actually said there was no problem with her data. They had long heard rumors about the relationship between EVA and Dark Gold Rose.
Could it be that the super AI of Oasis really had some kind of ambiguous relationship with Dark Gold Rose?
Then why were they even playing? If the highest-level authority was on Dark Gold Rose's side, they might as well find a place to bash their heads against a wall and die.
For a moment, the morale of the Silent Sequence side plummeted. They were exhausted dealing with the frenzied assault of the monsters and simply couldn't spare the energy to worry about the people from Light-Chaser Garden. They could only watch helplessly as the enemy maneuvered through the battlefield to harass them, with people falling every second.
Xu Xiaoyou watched this scene quietly. Of course, she hadn't exploited a game glitch, nor had she made any ambiguous deal with EVA.
The reason these monsters didn't attack her was because of the setup she had arranged not long ago.
At the same time, inside the Venomous Sewer, Lu Shuhang stepped on the eyeball of a Gnawing Gospel. The latter let out a wail and silently mobilized even more of the gnawing army to surge toward the palace through its will!
That was right. By reaching an agreement with Assassin's Creed, Xu Xiaoyou controlled the Gnawing Gospel to direct these monsters to attack the people of Silent Sequence.
Presumably, back at the headquarters, her dear Little Raccoon had already finished off most of the invaders, right?
Most of the guilds on the entire map were currently rushing toward the palace. The next step was for them and the people from the King's Clan to seize their headquarters.
She would transfer all the drops to the King's Clan. She only needed the ownership of the outposts. Even if the final ownership of the King's Castle didn't belong to her, she could send Assassin's Creed to the second spot on the rankings by transferring these outposts.
With this, the closed loop was formed, and a world where every guild except theirs got hurt was achieved.
Just as Xu Xiaoyou intended to sit back and watch the situation unfold, another shocking change occurred!
A piercing siren sounded, and countless golden boundary lines materialized in the air, cutting the palace into numerous zones.
Before the people present could understand what was happening, over a dozen golden-glowing float-cars deactivated their stealth and quickly emerged from the void. Gilded patterns linked and displayed, emitting a holy and majestic light.
Numerous members in white-gold uniforms slid down rapidly. The emblems on their shoulders were shaped like the World Tree, with an absolutely balanced scale set in the center. It was—the Order Court!
"The Order Court?"
Xu Xiaoyou’s brow furrowed. She hadn't expected this situation and was caught off guard, momentarily stunned where she stood. At the same time, an ill premonition rose in her heart.
"The Order Court is enforcing the law! All bystanders, disperse immediately!"
The shout of the Order Court members was like thunder.
A black-haired girl followed closely, leaping down from the sky and crashing into the ground, creating a crater. The components of her steam power hammer clicked together, and a giant eye opened.
"No. 0E3605 — mind inquisitor enforcement authority activated. Entering enforcement state confirmed. Warnings have been issued to players within a five-hundred-kilometer radius."
As the dust settled, Bai Youyou looked at Xu Xiaoyou with a brilliant smile, raising her hand with an upward tilt in her tone. "Long time no see, Yuzu?"
Under Xu Xiaoyou’s trembling gaze, a cold notification voice exploded in everyone's ears.
"Player Bai Youyou, temporary authority as a 'harmonizer' has been granted."
