Fringe Characters Ah!
Divine Silence Dust Fate felt Speechless just thinking about it. They were worlds apart from the so-called Casual Players. Countless Casual Players thrived outside numerous Guilds, but only a few could catch the attention of these Guilds.
It could be said that each of these Fringe Characters could stand on their own, and even some small Guilds would fear individual Fringe Characters. It wasn't just because the barefoot feared the shod; it was that nagging feeling of being watched, of potentially receiving a fatal blow at any moment, which was quite unsettling.
Moreover, these Fringe Characters relied on their impressive skills, which made them proud and fearless. For a long time, many Guilds had extended olive branches, both openly and covertly, but to little effect, or even none at all.
However...
What does it mean to be difficult to subdue?
This was what left Divine Silence Dust Fate Speechless. "Difficult to subdue" does not mean "impossible to subdue." On the contrary, the fact that these individuals had thrived until now was not only due to their own abilities but also a crucial condition: their principled stance on people and matters—righteousness!
In the world of martial arts, righteousness is paramount. Deep down, despite their rebellious nature, they placed immense value on this concept of "righteousness." Because of this, once they were subdued, they would undoubtedly be fiercely loyal, standing firm against ten or even a hundred foes.
"It is well-known that those so-called Fringe Characters are all overly confident in their abilities and look down on others. I find it highly unlikely to subdue such a group!" Divine Silence Breeze stated firmly, sounding very decisive. He then added, "President, I believe there's no need to worry about this at all."
"President, I think Qingfeng has a point," Shenji Mingyue nodded in agreement and continued, "For a long time now, many capable Guilds have attempted this but mostly ended in failure. As for Mist of Time, being just an emerging small group makes success even less likely."
"I do not deny your perspective, but one should never speak too definitively. It is crucial to always leave oneself an escape route," Divine Silence Dust Fate smiled slightly. His tone suddenly turned serious as he continued, "Never underestimate your opponent, especially him!"
"Him?"
Both Divine Silence Breeze and Shenji Mingyue were taken aback again; this was the second time Divine Silence Dust Fate had emphasized this "him," wasn't it?
"Is it Falling Leaves?" asked Divine Silence Breeze.
Divine Silence Dust Fate raised his gaze slightly and lingered on the two for a moment. The intensity of his stare made them both uneasy and confused as they exchanged glances. Then they heard Divine Silence Dust Fate say meaningfully, "I am referring to the God of War."
The God of War?!
Undeniably, this was a title that countless gamers remembered vividly. However, due to the mysterious disappearance three years ago, this title had temporarily lost its luster but could never be erased from their hearts. Once touched upon, it would sprout anew.
Yet when they heard this title, both Divine Silence Breeze and Shenji Mingyue were bewildered. Others might not know yet, but they understood that the once-missing God of War had returned as the current top player on the Level leaderboard—Falling Leaves.
Given this, why does Divine Silence Dust Fate deny Falling Leaves while specifically mentioning the God of War?
This is where Divine Silence Dust Fate's subtlety lies; he is reminding Divine Silence Breeze and Shenji Mingyue that although the God of War belongs to the past, its influence still resonates today. If one only sees Falling Leaves in its current identity, that alone signifies a defeat.
"The God of War... once known as the strongest Fringe Character!"
Divine Silence Breeze sighed, and the two understood well the true meaning that Divine Silence Dust Fate was trying to convey to them.
What does this imply?
It's like a gamer being asked to deal with someone in business; they would surely find it hard to connect. But if they were to interact with another gamer, it would click instantly, like a spark igniting.
Why is that?
Because they share a commonality—they are both gamers, which in this context means they are all Fringe Characters.
Or... once were Fringe Characters!
"If such a group of people were truly brought together, it would definitely be a complicated matter!" Shenji Mingyue remarked, feeling a twinge of conflict within.
Upon hearing this, Divine Silence Dust Fate couldn't help but shudder internally. Who could argue? Each of them was already a formidable individual; if they were gathered together, it might not just be described as "complicated," but rather an overwhelming "fear."
"President, what do you mean by saying there is still an opportunity?" Divine Silence Breeze asked.
"Whether it's Falling Leaves or the God of War, capturing such a group of Fringe Characters will undoubtedly take time and currently poses no threat to us," Divine Silence Dust Fate pondered and continued, "Thus, this should not be their top priority."
"President means... what Falling Leaves needs to resolve first is reputation!" Shenji Mingyue realized.
"Exactly!"
Divine Silence Dust Fate suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming with fervor as he declared sternly, "Therefore, we must spare no effort to establish the Chamber before Mist of Time does, raising the banner of Divine Silence in the business world of the Zero Era."
Venomous Bee Forest
As the Vitality of the Demon Hornet King approached below 10%, it was just past noon. The grinding battle had lasted over an hour, and now the Demon Hornet King was being driven toward the Fierce Dragon Guild, where the Seven People were gathering.
The Owl Dragon was undoubtedly the strongest among the Three Guilds at that moment. It was precisely for this reason that it became the target chosen by the Seven People; only by isolating the Owl Dragon and forcing the Culinary Team and the Empire to join forces could they achieve a relative balance in combat power.
"Just as I thought!"
The Terminator of Regrets chuckled softly, giving a thumbs-up toward the direction of the Owl Dragon, confirming its position and distance. He turned back and said, "Boss, they indeed chose the Owl Dragon. The estimated distance is about fifty yards, twenty degrees northwest, at ten o'clock."
"Very good!"
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly, brushing aside the branches of a bush that obstructed his view. He instructed, "The final battle should start soon. Remember your targets; we cannot afford any mistakes this time."
"Understood!"
Not a Master replied firmly, his gaze resolute. The heavy sword in his hand glimmered with a cold light, reflecting the scattered rays filtering through. He was already eager to engage.
