Apocalypse Gachapon

He had to gamble because he was already very nervous now.

Or rather, he was confident that his side would win but was afraid that accidents might happen.

In his heart, he realized that he was overconfident. Cloud Peak’s boss was more problematic than he thought.

To ensure victory, he gambled to see who could kill the other first.

He waved his arms. Much of the black mist gathered towards his side. At the same time, some on the bodies of the warriors were split over to him.

This was very similar to when he used the black flame blade.

The chief planned to use the team buff’s strongest attack to break the situation.

If he could use his attack to kill these fellows, even Ye Zhongming, victory would be his. If he couldn’t kill Ye Zhongming directly, the battle would lean toward them as long as he killed enough wooden puppets.

He just had to ensure… That Ye Zhongming didn’t kill him when he was using the attack.

……………………………………

In that meeting room, the three deacons faced a choice when the Royal Guild chief was gambling.

That was a choice that decided the outcome.

Everything came from Deacon Ouyang’s comment.

He said, “Is it good for us if Cloud Peak wins?”

Even if Deacon Tong and Deacon Water both hoped to work with Cloud Peak, if Cloud Peak really won, this would mean that they would lose one ring. Their structure wouldn’t be so complete, and their strength would drop.

That was not good for Five Ring Money.

But Deacon Water’s words caused the discussion to be more neutral.

She said, “Is it good for us if Royal Guild wins?”

The question was through the point of Five Ring Money. This question was from the perspective of themselves.

Even if Deacon Ouyang loved Five Ring Money, he loved himself more. But he didn’t see how Cloud Peak winning would benefit them.

“We have broken the rules. If Cloud Peak wins and this spreads, it will be a huge blow for our business.”

Deacon Ouyang remained calm and spoke as if he were just discussing the pros and cons from a neutral point of view.

“You can see people moving over. The commotion is huge. Even if the battle ends before they get there, no side can clean it up. People will find traces. So, the secret of the space exception can’t be kept.”

Deacon Water and Deacon Tong nodded and knew that Deacon Ouyang was telling the truth. They had to plan to clean up this situation.

“We will have to face this situation even if Royal Guild wins. If Royal Guild wins, apart from an ally that is more arrogant and would conflict with us, there won’t be any other benefits. But if Cloud Peak wins, we might get a friendship of another super faction.”

She was a firm believer in wanting to work with Cloud Peak.

“But Five Ring Money’s completeness is very important.” Deacon Ouyang squinted his eyes, “Since Deacon Tong has opened the space exception, you should be more decisive and just join this battle to crush Cloud Peak. Then, others wouldn’t find out about the space exception.”

Deacon Water frowned. She didn’t understand Deacon Ouyang’s viewpoint.

“What you are saying is?” Deacon Tong asked expressionlessly.

“We should enter, too.” He slapped the table.

“If Royal Guild wins, we will help clean up; if they lose… We will deem them as traitors!”

He looked at the two deacons and said, “Dead people aren’t as valuable as those who are alive. We will see their value based on whoever lives.”

The black flame blade finally formed and sliced toward Ye Zhongming. The two heads chose to attack each other.

Ye Zhongming placed his sniper rifle down. He knew that he couldn’t kill him before he used his skill. Then, he had to face the black blade that could slice through the heavens.

He had tested this skill previously. After activating some of its strength, Soul Shattering Bone Staff was able to be its match. He had no time to take the staff out, so he could only use Staff of Nature.

He didn’t know if Water Bottle Protection could block it.

When he was planning on defending, something he didn’t expect happened.

The Royal Guild warriors who were surviving due to the damage share started to suffer from losses.

This meant that the damage share had reached a limit.

The appearance of casualties represented the Royal Guild’s defeat.

Royal Guild’s team buff ability was very strong. They were all very powerful, be it damage share, damage reflect, or black flame blade. Any one of them was top grade.

But be it the chief or Ye Zhongming, they missed out on one thing: the levels of these warriors weren’t too high.

Of course, levels were relative. This team was decent compared to evolved outside. Their average level was four stars, which was above the current evolution standard.

But what were the levels of the wooden puppets? Ye Zhongming used the Treasure Nurturing Gourd, Kes Charger, and red energy gems to upgrade them. They were over five-star. In terms of strength, they could even battle with ordinary seven-star evolved.

As for his other combat strength, be it Gao Yi or Zhao Xiangxue or the two-horned sand monster and music box; they were far stronger than the Royal Guild troops.

There were also the level five Cannibal Flowers and Needle Birds. All of them crushed the opponent.

This battle wouldn't have lasted for so long if not for the black mist raising their attacks and defense.

There was still a gap in raw strength. After holding on for so long and destroying at least a hundred puppets and dozens of Cannibal Flowers, the Royal Guild troops couldn’t stop the attacks and collapsed.

The black flame blade itself was suppressed. Without the formation's source of power, it disappeared. After just half a minute, Gao Yi and the puppets charged into their formation, and it became a one-sided massacre.

The battle ended when Ye Zhongming stood before the Royal Guild chief and used his skills to incapacitate him.
