Chapter 234: Chapter234-Declaring War on Zone 1 and Zone 2
At this moment, the range of the thundercloud had already grown smaller and smaller. The Lightning Tribulation within it had also been almost completely drained dry by John.
Before long, the heavenly tribulation was fully absorbed by his Lawfiend Avatar.
...
[Congratulations, player. You have completed the sequence ascension tribulation and successfully advanced to Sequence 3: Angel of Fate!]
[Congratulations, player. Your level restriction has been lifted. Your current maximum level is now Level 500!]
[You have awakened the exclusive Sequence 3 trait: Divine Power Conversion!]
Almost the instant the Tribulation Clouds dissipated, the notification announcing the completion of the Ascension Trial rang beside John’s ears.
When he heard the trait he had gained after advancing to Sequence 3, John’s eyes flickered. He immediately brought up its details to check.
[Angel of Fate]
[Trait] Divine Power Conversion: After activation, any one active or passive skill may be converted into a skill that can use divine power.
[Note]: This is a rare trait. Only sequence players who complete a perfect Ascension Trial have a chance of awakening it.
...
"A rare trait, and it can even convert skills into divine power skills."
"In other words, as long as I want to, I can completely convert any skill I possess from its original attribute into the higher-level divine power attribute."
John understood the power of divine power skills better than anyone.
No matter what attribute it was, all of them paled in comparison before divine power.
It was just that John had not possessed any divine class skill books before.
Nor had he been able to truly unleash divine power.
But now that he had obtained this trait, it was equivalent to permanently gaining the ability to convert all kinds of skills into divine class skills.
He immediately tried converting his Annihilation of All into the divine power attribute.
[Do you wish to convert the SSS-grade skill Annihilation of All into the divine power attribute?]
"Yes!"
[Your SSS-grade skill Annihilation of All has been converted into the divine power attribute!]
[This skill has been renamed: Godsfall!]
Hearing the notification, John opened the skill’s detailed panel with anticipation.
Just from the name alone, it sounded impressive.
...
[Godsfall]
[Attribute]: Divine Power
[Effect]: After attacking any target, all enemy units around that target will suffer 100% identical damage. It will also additionally deal 100% true damage!
[Divine Power Effect]: Annihilation of All — inflicts an annihilation effect on any attribute skill below divine power, preventing it from taking effect.
...
It could additionally deal 100% true damage, and it even possessed an annihilation effect at the energy-level.
This Godsfall could absolutely be called invincible.
Even John could not help but draw in a sharp breath after reading it.
He had originally thought that the SSS-grade Annihilation of All was already powerful enough. Unexpectedly, after being converted into the divine power attribute, it had risen to an even higher level.
Not only had its damage increased by an additional 100%, it could even cause an annihilation effect against any attribute below divine power.
It was simply terrifying beyond belief.
After reading the skill details, John was extremely satisfied.
At the same time, the remaining demon race remnants in Zone 5 had also been roughly cleaned up by the players. The world announcement immediately rang out.
[Zone-wide Announcement: Congratulations to the human players for resisting this demon race invasion. Rewards have been distributed according to contribution. Players, please check your own rewards!]
The instant the zone-wide announcement sounded, all kinds of notification tones rang beside the ears of countless players.
This demon race invasion was the same as the previous zone-wide events. Rewards were given according to contribution value. The greater the contribution, the greater the reward.
Naturally, the amount of contribution was judged according to the quantity and quality of demon race enemies each player had killed.
At this moment, a notification rang beside John’s ears.
[Congratulations, player. You have obtained MVP of this demon tide invasion. Congratulations, you have obtained Divine Class Points +100,000, gold coins +10 million, Fame +1 million!]
[Because not a single human main city was occupied during this demon tide invasion, a special reward has been issued: Kingdom War Declaration Scroll ×2!]
[Because Overlord Guild protected the human main cities during this invasion, you have received a gift from the human race: Guild Fortune Halo!]
[Guild Fortune Halo: Increases the chance of human players awakening high sequences and reduces the chance of players encountering negative events!]
...
"There are actually this many rewards."
After hearing the notification, John could not help feeling slightly shaken.
The rewards this time could roughly be divided into two categories.
The first category was aimed at individual players like them. Most of them were things such as Divine Class Points, EXP, gold coins, and equipment.
Since John was the MVP of this demon tide, the rewards he received were naturally the greatest.
He had directly obtained 100,000 Divine Class Points.
The second category was guild rewards.
This time, because of the efforts of Overlord Guild’s members, not a single human NPC main city had suffered invasion.
As a result, the human NPCs had blessed the entire guild. This was equivalent to greatly increasing the players’ luck value.
...
At this moment, the guild members who had received their rewards were all overjoyed. They began showing off their gains from this battle in the guild channel.
[Halik] (Member): "This time, I got three pieces of S-grade equipment, plus five thousand Divine Class Points. Is there anyone who got more than me?"
[Karen] (Member): "Come on. You dare show off with that tiny bit of loot? I directly opened an entire SSS-grade set."
[Laide] (Member): "Tsk, tsk, tsk. In that case, I guess there’s no need for me to hide these ten thousand Divine Class Points."
[Thorne] (Member): "Keep bragging, all of you. Getting one thousand Divine Class Points is already pretty good, and now you’re even talking about tens of thousands? Forget it, I’ll go use up my Sequence 5 trait, Profession Empowerment, first."
[Eliah] (Member): "Tsk, tsk, tsk. This wave really brought in a huge harvest. Everything is thanks to Guild Leader John."
[Fenrir] (Member): "Exactly. Without the guild leader, we’d probably still be grinding monsters bitterly right now."
John glanced at the chat channel and merely smiled faintly.
He did not care much about it.
After all, even without his help, these players would probably still be able to slowly level up through their own efforts.
Right now, he had merely helped them skip the grinding process. It was nothing worth mentioning.
Just then, he suddenly remembered that Zone 1 and Zone 2 had been left outside for long enough.
It was time to bring those two zones under control.
As it happened, the rewards just now had included two Kingdom War Declaration Scrolls. Using them this time would be perfect for reorganizing the entire human region.
With that thought, John immediately chose to begin preparing for war. First, he summoned all five vice guild leaders back.
...
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Overlord City.
Alan and the others returned to the round table, unable to hide their excitement.
The battle groups they had led had gained enormous rewards during this demon tide. Almost every member had undergone a complete upgrade in strength and equipment.
And all of this was naturally thanks to John single-handedly intercepting most of the powerful demon race enemies.
"Guild leader, did you call us here because you want us to counterattack the demon race abyss?" Alan asked excitedly.
John glanced at him and spoke words that shocked everyone.
"No. This time, our target isn’t the demon race."
"It’s the human race!"
