Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Isn’t It Quite Simple to Upgrade the Guild?
The guild leader had emphasized a few days ago that no one was allowed to bully the weak, yet it seemed he was going to take proactive measures to assess and clean up the guild!
It looked like he intended to reform the culture within our guild!
This time, we had indeed taken someone else's boss; it was peak opportunism!
Weren't we doomed?
The players of the Twilight Guild were quite astute. With President David's strength and the buffs being provided by the guild, people outside were lining up to get in!
If I made a mistake and got kicked out of the guild, that would be a huge loss.
Moreover, "David" had quite the notorious reputation; anyone who defied him was sure to meet their end!
Who wouldn't be afraid?
"Wait, everyone! You take this boss! You take it!"
"Don't go! Don't go! I'm begging you!"
There was even a hint of a sob in their voices.
The same scenes were unfolding in the Hall of Valor.
A few members of the Twilight Guild were preparing to accept a task in the Assembly Hall, and other players immediately backed away upon seeing the Twilight Guild insignia on them.
"Big shots from the Twilight Guild, you go ahead!"
"You go ahead!"
…
As a result, these few members, who had originally been smiling, suddenly changed their expressions and shouted, "What do you take me for?"
"Queue up properly!"
"We in the Twilight Guild despise those who don't follow the rules!"
…
Near Mount Valhalla, a few players were dividing loot when one player wearing the Twilight Guild uniform maintained a calm demeanor.
He opened his trading page and found that the allocated resources were indeed more plentiful.
This was what he deserved as a member of the Twilight Guild; without this identity, completing tasks would be a lot more troublesome.
However, the next second, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes: "Are you trying to set me up?"
"Take it back! Take it back!"
"The task was completed through everyone's collective effort!"
"Distribute it fairly! Don't mess things up!"
…
In an instant, countless Twilight Guild members were in a state of panic!
At that moment, they were even more alarmed to discover that President David had spoken again on the guild page.
[I personally believe that a great calamity is approaching, and our Twilight Guild must remain highly united. List out the names of those you've offended or those who have offended you, along with their guilds, and we will eliminate them one by one!]
[After all, we in the Twilight Guild cannot allow any potential enemies to exist!]
After finishing his statement in the guild, Sterl nodded in satisfaction.
It must be said that sometimes the thinking of the Swallowing Heaven players was indeed worth emulating.
Lacking guild contributions, ordinary [Transcendence] players might hesitate to take action against other guilds, fearing it would seem unjustified.
Hell players could easily concoct reasons to go on a rampage.
…
Huh?
Huh???
The numerous Twilight players were left dumbfounded.
No way…
Is this really what our guild leader said?
Didn't he previously tell us not to bully the weak? Now, because of a minor conflict, he wants to wipe out entire families??
Guild leader, is such brutality really necessary?
The members of the Twilight Guild were utterly confused.
But they quickly came to a realization.
Why bother thinking about it so much…
Our attitude towards President David can be summed up in two words—loyalty!
When the gods left the Hall of Valor, our Twilight Guild was already unbeatable! The strong must humiliate the weak without mercy.
The guild leader is wise.
So, what was I just doing??
Damn!
A hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of many Twilight Guild players.
…
"Are we getting the boss back?"
"Thank you, thank you all."
The players from the same guild seemed a bit puzzled.
Why are the Twilight Guild members being so nice??
This group didn't suspect anything; the news had spread widely that David had previously rescued a group of players being oppressed by the Twilight Guild.
In the eyes of many players in the Hall of Valor, it at least indicated that the Twilight Guild leader was a good person!
So it was only natural for the lower-ranked members to behave a bit better to please David.
"Tank, go in and draw aggro! We'll buff first!"
A person who looked like a captain directed the team.
At the same time, a heavily armored giant stepped forward, drawing his sword to strike at the ice-blue female figure.
However, the giant was instantly knocked back by a powerful palm strike.
The attacker was a member of the Twilight Guild.
"Wait, do you really want the BOSS?"
He wore a look that clearly said, "Are you joking?"
The other Twilight Guild members coldly drew their weapons and charged in!
"Dare to steal our Twilight Guild's boss? You must be seeking death!"
…
"Then let's line up properly. We'll do it as it should be!"
A player in the Assembly Hall spoke up.
In an instant, he was sent flying by a shockwave!
A few Twilight Guild players stood together.
"Line up? What line?"
"Remember, once we Twilight Guild members arrive, we set the rules!"
"It's not that you allowed it; we were always meant to go first!"
…
Boom!!
With fire exploding everywhere.
"We don't want the task rewards; you can have them all!"

"Are you insane? Sure, you Twilight Guild are strong, but we the Shattered Star Guild aren't…"
The last player nearby was impaled by a glowing blade.
The young man dressed in clothing emblazoned with the Twilight Guild's emblem coldly smiled.
"I just said I hadn't offended any guilds, and now look what happened?"
"Thank you all."
He quickly sent a message in the guild's built-in chat panel—
[I've offended the Shattered Star Guild. They're competing with me for task rewards, and I had no choice but to take action.]
The young man was well aware that recently, the waves of conflict among various guilds had intensified.
He didn't know the exact reasons, but it was clear that their guild leader, David, must understand the underlying issues and was deliberately inciting disputes.
The young man was naturally loyal and wanted to relieve the guild leader's worries.
And as soon as the term "the Shattered Star Guild" appeared, the next second, the guild chat room…
Began to flood with messages!
Sterl was observing the guild page.
At first, there was a moment of silence for a second or two, and then it erupted into a frenzy of messages.
Sterl had merely asked them to come up with a list, but many members of the Twilight Guild were exceptionally considerate.
[The Shattered Star Guild Guild Level: Level 5, Strongest: Supreme (suspected to master Mirror Law)][Attachments: images, videos]
[Felix Guild Guild Level: Level 6, Strongest: Two Supremes][Attachments: images, videos]
[The Thousand Faces Guild…]
They clearly stated the levels and strengths of the rival guilds.
There were even some who listed the main members' locations and the position of the guild leaders.
Sterl nodded in satisfaction.
"You all did well."
He encouraged them in the chat and then swiftly began to take action.
With less than a day until the Valor Combatants finals began,
Sterl decided to target two guilds first…
He quickly reviewed the information provided by the Twilight members and soon nodded: "First target, hmm, it's you!"
"This… Felix Guild!"
According to the information, Sterl discovered that the Felix Guild was nearly fully mobilized, attacking a special instance outside the Hall of Valor called the Abyss of No Return.
This instance could only be challenged by guilds at level six.
The rewards obtainable were quite high, including Platinum Skill abilities, various demigod-level equipment, and a special item called a class change book that allowed players to change their classes.
It served as a welfare instance for the Hall of Valor.
Basically, guilds that reached level six would attempt to challenge it.
The Felix Guild had been preparing for this instance for several years, even skipping the Valor Combatants tournament to focus on it.
Sterl activated his Space Law, his form turning ethereal, and in the next moment, he had vanished into the distance.
After a few "jumps," he arrived at the Assembly Hall of the Hall of Valor, used the teleportation array to reach the entrance of the special instance, and directly sat down—
Blocking the entrance!
This was a rather dim cave, but it was quite spacious, filled with the sound of dripping water echoing around.
In the distance, the cave's air howled, resembling the cries of ghosts and spirits.
At the center of the cave was a slowly swirling dark purple light circle.
That was the entrance to the instance.
In the Hall of Valor, there weren't many level six guilds, and challenging the Abyss of No Return required years of preparation, with actual combat time only lasting about a day or two. So aside from Sterl, the area was completely empty.
Sterl wasn't in a hurry; he continued to sit cross-legged, contemplating the power of the Blade divine authority. He had previously used the Iridescent-Level Shattered Void skill.
Due to the existence of [Consume], Sterl prioritized comprehending the most precious skill—[Blade (divine authority)].
About an hour later, while Sterl was meditating, a sudden spatial fluctuation occurred around him.
Around forty figures slowly materialized, all wearing standard armor, showing numerous injuries and supporting each other, looking extremely disheveled.
However, the expressions on their faces were filled with joy.
"After planning for years, we finally cleared the instance!"
"We've directly obtained three S-grade guild materials and a precious hidden class change book! These two are worth a lot!"
"We managed to get this class change book; its drop rate is extremely low!"
"And there's plenty of equipment that dropped this time; everyone can upgrade!"
Members of the Felix Guild were in high spirits.
But they celebrated too soon.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended!!
Sterl, harnessing the power of the Holy Spirit Bloodline, exuded a mental aura that was already incredibly intimidating due to his attributes!
It was akin to the natural suppression that predators exert over herbivores in the animal kingdom!
Similar to the divine pressure that gods exert on mortals, but of a different kind.
In the lower realm, aside from gods, everyone would be awed by Sterl's presence.
Even at the divine level, they could only barely withstand this aura as long as Sterl hadn't yet ascended to godhood.
The relaxed smiles on the faces of the Felix Guild members vanished completely; they were drenched in sweat, and many of them collapsed to the ground.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sound of bodies slamming against the stone walls echoed through the cave.
