Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

[Thank you to Weeeeeeee for the magic castle. This gift means a lot to me because of the situation and because it's my first magic caste. I'll remember this. Once again, thank you.]

Li Jun led the troops inside the city to confront their defensive army. They faced an army made of the Black Wing Race, a devil race with black wings and horns. Unfortunately, with the game's restriction, this race that could naturally fly lost its advantage.

Li Jun led the troops but did not participate much in the battle after killing a few hundred people. Instead, he overlooked the situation to ensure nothing unexpected occurred and waited in case the enemy had a mighty general. He would also protect his men as much as possible to reduce the loss.

Meanwhile, Tie Gang led the slaughter in this battle. His undying legion relies on his Innate Talent, so he should have waited behind a layer of protection in case something occurred to him. However, he always considered himself a fighter and would be the first to head into battle.

Bang!

Tie Gang threw a punched and generated an immense vibration that killed thousand. He instantly appeared before a row of soldiers that remained perfectly in their army formation despite the dire situation.

Boom!

With one punch, the heads of thousands of soldiers exploded in a vertical line, creating a scene similar to numerous balloons exploding consecutively; the sight was strangely beautiful.

And as the soldiers watched their comrade's fate, fear flashed on their faces.

'Fear? I thought the devil race did not know fear easily.' From the records, he read about the Devil Era, devils would become excited and even more powerful during slaughter, and it did not matter if it was their own. The negative energy or Karma produced by acts of brutality boosted their strength, which is one of the reasons they were the perfect war machines that conquered countless planes.

Tie Gang did not focus too much on these things before attacking again. He controlled his heart to beat at a unique frequency that forced the soldier's heart to match his. Then, he exploded their hearts, killing thousands, if not more.

Tie Gang cultivated the Dao of Vibration with a minor in Fist Dao. And since Wang Wei used to apple vibration in his battle in his early years, thus he taught him many things. Additionally, Vibration is a powerful Dao that many seniors of the Dao Opening Sect once cultivated, so Tie Gang had many resources available.

With his effort, talent, luck, and Willpower, he created his own scripture, [The Heaven and Earth Vibration Sutra], turning him into a slaughter machine. Furthermore, he also relied on his unique Innate Talent to add some to his Vibration Dao and make it unique.

Tie Gang stomped his feet on the ground to generate an earthquake that buried thousands of soldiers. He also controlled the earth on the ground to ensure his attack did not do too much damage to the city, as per his order.

He looked at one of the squads and whistled. However, this was not a normal whistle, but using a terrifying frequency that directly exploded the brain and soul of these devils.

'It's better to kill using my fist,' he thought before rushing to another group and becoming a maniac that enjoyed exploding people's heads. He used the ground's vibration to push himself forward, drastically increasing his speed. Without using any technique, he could just barge into a group. Once they hit his body, the vibration generated would be redirected toward the enemy, creating even more devastating damage.

Tie Gang headed to another squad and noticed the group had dropped their weapons and had a pale complexion. He did not care about the enemy's surrender since they had not reached the eighty percent allocation.

"You can't kill us," roared a soldier, making Tie Gang stop and look at this group. He did not ignore these people's words, given the current situation. "And why can't I kill you?"

"We are mortals now!"

Tie Gang frowned.

"You can check: we have destroyed our cultivation and are now mortals."

'Is this another hidden rule?' thought Tie Gang before looking in the distance. He immediately used his Divine Sense to message Li Jun, who ordered his men to stop killing. He quickly accessed the situation and learned many of his men killed these mortals.

"Danmit," he said before immediately contacting Wang Wei, who flew from the distance. A few minutes after his arrival, Heavenly Dao, or the Game Master, manifested above the city.

[Rule Breaker detected. Launching punishment.]

"No punishment is needed since these soldiers became non-combattant during active battle. Their action should not be allowed in the first place."

Heavenly Dao slowed down the process of gathering power.

[Punishment Avoided. Be mindful in the future.]

"Li Jun, if you need to save our men in the future, use the same tactic as them," said Wang Wei with a sneer before Heavenly Dao disappeared.

"That's a good strategy. After all, we will only waste some resources to recultivate them."

All these men were talented disciples in one way or the other. And the resources used to cultivate them are not worth searching for talented and loyal individuals. Li Jun mobilized his men to get the city under control since a few people chose to fight until death.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was observing the people who surrendered. Most had fears and relief in their eyes. However, some looked at him with defiance, telling him he could not do anything to them.

Wang Wei did not care as this was not true; he had thought of two ways to kill these people. The first one is to have members of his troop abandon their cultivation, losing their status as soldiers and ordering them to kill these people. Of course, there is also the possibility of hidden rules which state that foreign soldiers who lose their [Soldier] status must leave the game and cannot do such a thing.

In that case, he would use his second plan: turn them against each other. He would read these people's memories and divide them into two groups, each containing people with grievances, even the tiniest contradictions.

Then, he would dangle starvation before them. He would tell them he would feed only one group, the group that is the final winner. Finally, he would watch the ensuing slaughter for survival. Wang Wei knew some people might resist and refuse to fight. But as long as one person does it, others will follow. And when the others realized they would die of starvation? Well, there is a saying that a starving beast will even bite its master's hand.

Wang Wei shook his head before continuing to observe the thing he came here for. A few minutes later, Li Jun approached him. "Did you discover something?"

"Yes. They are mixed with human bloodline."

"Who? These people?" pointed at the one in front of them.

"No. All the devil races in this city."

"Are you saying these devils fuse with human bloodline? But they hate us."

"That's not important."

"True. Do you think someone artificially engineered this bloodline mixture? But for what reason?"

"The best theory I have is a way to escape Wu Hong's seal."

"If the devil race became a subspecies of humans, they would no longer be the devil race, and the seal would not work on them. However, Is that possible? It seems too easy."

"It's not simple. They would also have to be acknowledged as a new human subspecies."

"Acknowledgement from the Myriad Emperor World's Heavenly Dao?"

Wang Wei shook his head. "The seal affected the entire Endless DImension. And the devil race was also once a species on that level. So, they would need True Heavenly Dao's permission."

"You don't sound too sure."

"It's just a theory. Plus, I feel like I'm missing something."

"We have time for you to figure it out," said Li Jun. "Nevertheless, whoever is responsible for this plan is either very powerful or extremely intelligent."

"They also have no fear of Wu Hong or willing to die for the revival of the devil race." Li Jun pattered his shoulder and did not say anything more; he's only the muscle and only uses his brain when needed. "Let's go discuss our next step."

Lust Territory, Red Rose City:

Di Tian slowly walked around the destroyed city with a serene look.

'The troops lost way above the bottom line I wanted, and many of the resources were destroyed before we conquered the city.'

He frowned as he looked at the result of this war.

'I need better Generals for the Heaven Will Battle.' He could see that his army would not survive in a confrontation against Wang Wei because of superb generals like Li Jun and Tie Gang or a supporter like Yan Liling. The only thing he has equal to Wang Wei is his Shadow, who has 70% of his strength.

If his Sleeper still existed, he could find a talent from there that had the potential of breaking the Mortal-Immortal Boundary. Unfortunately, the Di Clan did not have such a talent in this generation.

'Should I wake up a sealed Heaven Chosen?' With his status in the clan, there should be no issue using a sleeping Heaven Chosen as a General. His eyes suddenly lit up. 'There might be a better alternative.'

He had an idea and calculated the success potential. Di Tian took a breath: 'Before anything else, I need to figure out the rules of this game.' He lost too many soldiers because of the stupid hidden rules.
