Chapter 669: Targeted by All, Protection Period Ends, Amusement Park Building Players Lose Their Minds

The sun in the sky faded, and before it vanished completely, the afterglow fell upon the Mad King Building, forming a warm, luminous membrane.

As the sun departed, the sight was more shocking than any wonder.

Everyone in Demon King Castle couldn’t help but step outside and watch the sun leave.

“Do you think… this really isn’t a true star?” Zhen Lu said, still unsettled.

“Impossible!” Cao Yaxuan instinctively refused to believe something that defied common sense, though she felt a little shaken afterward.

The sun was not necessarily supreme; many ancient texts recorded deities that could rival the sun.

And maybe those texts were true.

Of course, truly valuable exalted names wouldn’t appear in ordinary books, because an exalted name itself is a form of transcendence and power.

Cao Yaxuan protested, “A star is a million times the size of Earth, how could it be so small?”

Zhen Lu rolled her eyes. “Who said it was the sun from that solar system? Maybe this is a mini-star!”

“Could be.” Han Zhixiu nodded.

Two best girlfriends bickering was normal; without outsiders interrupting, they might have argued on forever.

When Han Zhixiu joined the topic, the two women fell silent.

The group’s attention shifted to the Corona Throne.

No one had heard of an Overlord-level dormitory before, so their guesses produced no definitive answer.

But the four characters “Corona Throne” reminded everyone of an information slip left by a veteran player from the Boring Realm.

One such information slip had been left by a Corona Throne player.

The Corona Throne and the Corona Throne Building might be related.

Before people could imagine further, a new change had already appeared.

Players who had died in the Survival Contest resurrected and reappeared in their respective dormitories.

Then they discovered a very strange thing.

“Our Evil King Building points are still 11. Weren’t we supposed to be second place?!”

“What’s going on—our points got wiped?”

“Heaven’s Judgment Building didn’t get points either. They were third place and should have gained one point!”

“Our Amusement Park Building didn’t get points either, hahaha!”

“The same for the other buildings, except the Mad King Building!”

“The Mad King Building has 12 points now, one more than Evil King Building!”

From three directions, thousands of eyes all turned to the Mad King Building.

At this moment, only Xu Lang and his group stood by the guardrail of Demon King Castle on the topmost level.

As the sun faded, the sky inadvertently darkened. Crimson thunder prowled within black clouds, giving the sensation of a black mass pressing down on the city as if about to destroy it!

Players from the other three buildings had no time to care about the changing sky; they fixed their stares on Xu Lang and his party!

The tide had turned; under that black expanse, the Mad King Building loomed as if the whole world had turned hostile toward Demon King Castle!

Players from the other buildings all understood now!

In the Survival Contest, losers did not receive a single point!

Champion? Runner-up? Third place?

Nonsense!

This was a carefully fabricated raid meant specifically to wipe out them and strip away their supplies!

The atmosphere tightened to the extreme.

On Heaven’s Judgment Building’s top floor, Solaris and the others who had once negotiated with Xu Lang wore grim faces, staring intently at the Mad King Building.

As the saying goes, the worry is not scarcity but unfair distribution.

Everyone struggled, and in the end, all the peaches were plucked by the Mad King Building!

Xu Lang lifted his eyelids and glanced skyward. “Feels a little like the Mad King Building’s safe zone.”

The celestial phenomena at this moment strongly resembled scenes native to the Mad King Building.

With a thought, Xu Lang caused black vortices to appear on every floor of the Mad King Building, and players stepped out of them one after another.

Xu Lang had that extra-dimensional secret that could no longer be kept hidden.

He had already used this power in the first round, though not so openly.

As Mad King Building players reappeared, they smelled the gunpowder in the air.

Although the buildings were several kilometers apart, the murderous looks from players could not be concealed!

Now everyone had no supplies!

In close-quarters combat with blades, Mad King Building players clearly could not match the combined force of the other three buildings!

If they took this chance to finish off the Mad King Building players…

While everyone exchanged frenzied glances and made unhidden decisions, the Mad King Building players suddenly rushed back to the vortex gates in unison and hauled out a large amount of supplies!

Doors and turrets were all reinstalled!

The Mad King Building moved with extraordinary proficiency, as if they had performed this exact operation many times.

Players from the other buildings were stunned.

At most they had stuffed some main supplies into backpacks before dying, but the Mad King Building appeared to have suffered no losses beyond their original large doors and turrets.

Even more, some people showed happy expressions.

—Because their newly installed equipment was even better than the original gear!

Many had guessed correctly.

They had anticipated that the doors and turrets would be ruined in this building war, so they had not installed their best equipment.

Of course, they also dared not install trash, otherwise it would be too easy to fail.

“Whose spare equipment is better than their primary gear?”

“No way—how does everyone have spare equipment?”

“How rich are the Mad King Building’s supplies?”

“What do we do now, still attack or not?”

“Not a chance. We couldn’t capture the Mad King Building in the first round; now that we have no supplies, it’s impossible!”

“Good heavens, are they still installing?! Every dorm has a full set of spare facilities? Crazy!”

Players from the other three buildings began to get restless.

The managers could not sit still either.

At that moment, the Dorm Survival Game broadcast sounded.

[ Dorm Survival Game Broadcast— ]

[ True King Duel Round Four will begin in 30 minutes. These 30 minutes are rest time; all players’ energy recovery rate increases by 3%! ]

[ Please note the following rules! ]

[ One, starting from Round Four, the Silent Realm will be closed. Players who die cannot resurrect in the Silent Realm! ]

[ Two, effective facilities within the safe zones of Mad King Building, Evil King Building, Heaven’s Judgment Building, and Amusement Park Building will gradually materialize as the game progresses! ]

[ Three, in subsequent game rounds, point deductions will be enforced. Dormitories with negative points will be judged as defeated and will be permanently eliminated from the True King Duel! ]

[ There can be only one true king! ]

[ Only one person can command all the buildings! ]

[ Do whatever it takes to win! ]

[ When dormitory source matter is extracted, it will suffer permanent damage, making players’ defenses against monster assaults even harder! ]

[ Countdown: 29:34 ]

[ Round Four is about to begin! ]

Besides the voice in their ears, a red countdown also appeared on every player’s retinas.

Each number seemed to drip blood, the red painfully dazzling.

“The Silent Realm is closed?”

“Oh crap, they’re playing for real now. I don’t want to die!”

“No way, no way, no way. Are we really going to fight the monsters from Mad King Building, Evil King Building, and Heaven’s Judgment Building?”

Amusement Park Building players were the most anxious.

They had treated raids like drinking water before; they were basically trivial.

Many of them had joined this so-called True King Duel just for entertainment.

That attitude lasted until they ran into the Mad King Building, Evil King Building, Heaven’s Judgment Building… then it wasn’t so fun anymore.

Luckily they used to have death protection.

And now that death protection was gone!

At the thought of this, Amusement Park Building players’ Joy Value plummeted, and their situation became dire.

“Why don’t we just forfeit? Let the Amusement Park Building get siphoned once, whatever. They never intended to win anyway, so let’s just play along.”

Hearing such talk, the Candy Queen, the Jester, and Youle all went pale with anger.
