Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 512 His Majesty Rick's disaster repeats itself?

Bang—boom—

The storm triggered a devastating gale!

The trajectory of the dense magical projectiles was deflected, and the booming sound of the explosions echoed around Cloud Crystal Plaza and Rainbow Bridge.

Each magic projectile possesses the power of a 5th-tier magic, so a single magic projectile is nothing special.

However, the explosive power generated by releasing a large number of magical projectiles at the same time is something that even Tang Zheng needs to take seriously.

"This is an attack from the 'Floating Dock'."

"Compared to the first time we ignored them, this time they're much more enthusiastic."

Tang Zheng looked up at the sky ahead, knowing without a doubt that another barrage of magical projectiles was about to rain down.
"If a similar attack occurs again, crossing the 'Rainbow Bridge' won't be so easy."

The "rainbow trap" requires focus.

Once an attack like a magic projectile appears, it will definitely affect the time and rhythm of passing through the trap, and stepping on the wrong one will result in starting over.

The "Floating Dock" exists to compensate for the lack of a monster system in the "Rainbow Bridge" and serves as a supplement to it.

Enferea lifted the guild weapon in her hand.

boom! boom! boom!
The roar of magical cannonballs rang out again, and arcs of various colors streaked across the sky, crashing down with elemental masses of wind, fire, thunder, and water.

however.

The numerous magical projectiles that struck this time all avoided the location of Tang Zheng and his group.

"Change the attack direction..."

Enferea spoke slowly, her gaze blank, then the guild weapon in her hand flashed with another light: "Floating Dock has been closed."

The roar in the air vanished instantly, like a weapon suddenly going silent.

"Let's go."

Tang Zheng smiled slightly, his magic robes fluttering as he stepped onto the rainbow bridge.

——【Floating City】

Inside the "Floating Dock," the long, elegant airships with whale-like curves and wooden hulls inlaid with magical characters all dimmed.

"what happened!"

"Control has been taken away from us, is it 'Starry Observatory'? Impossible, the butler clearly already gave those instructions..."

The person in charge, wearing a beret and guarding the marble, tried to regain control of the "floating dock," but found it to be futile.

When Tang Zheng last invaded, all the guardians in charge of resolving the situation had been resurrected. Since they were low-level, the game coins consumed for their resurrection were not many.

Marble was both bewildered and shocked, not understanding what was going on.

Obviously,

Specific intelligence about the external invasion has not yet been transmitted.

hum~
A magical resonance appeared beside the marble ear, producing a faint fluctuation.

"Everyone!"

The auction house's oracle, through its architectural abilities, instantly contacted all the responsible guardians in the outer city, and a panicked voice echoed in everyone's minds:
"Lord Imralis has instructed me to contact everyone and evacuate the 'outer city' immediately to the core assembly point!"

"This is not a request—it's an order!"

A brief silence was followed by an explosive uproar.

"Star Oracle, what are you saying!"

"Evacuate the outer city? The invaders are only a few people."

"You mean we have to abandon the outer city!"

"What a joke!"

"The 'Outer Grounds' is Lord Gros Hornfury's protected area, so why are you spouting such nonsense?"

"........."

Xingyu's mind was filled with a jumble of words, and she knew she couldn't let the other guardians continue arguing.

"Everyone! Please remain calm!"

Xingyu, who was always gentle and seemingly invisible, shouted urgently, her voice drowning out the others:
"The lost guild weapon has been found!"

The numerous chaotic and noisy sounds vanished completely in an instant.

"The guild weapons are currently in the hands of the invaders..." Star Oracle said before anyone could feel any joy.

"—They actually dared to desecrate the divine artifacts forged by the supreme god-kings!"

"Are those inferior creatures planning to negotiate using guild weapons? Absolutely not!"

In the "Hall of Mercenaries".

Silver Olive suddenly stood up, and one after another level 80 magic mercenaries quickly appeared, scattering around him. Their powerful auras intertwined in the air, forming a viscous sense of oppression.

"Power Armor" is missing!
The magic gun "The End of a Thousand Touches" has been lost!
This guilt.

Silver Olive could not forgive herself; a raging fire of anger burned within her at the intruders.

"No, Sister Silver Olive."

Xingyu quickly spoke up: "It's someone among the intruders who has the ability to use guild weapons!"

To the end.

All those in charge could hear the tremor in Xingyu's voice, which sounded like electricity.

quiet!
An eerie silence!
The previous silence was due to the sudden appearance of the lost guild weapon, which surprised and delighted the leaders and guardians.

So now!

It was a feeling of fear and helplessness; the “disaster” of 200 years ago came to mind for everyone.

"No wonder... so that's how it is..."

Marble's body swayed, and she finally understood why the "floating dock" had suddenly gone out of control:
"Could it be yet another descending deity? Or perhaps the supreme and great God-King... returning once more?"

Such a thought!
It wasn't just Marble who was pondering this; it was a thought that popped into the minds of all the NPCs at this moment, leaving everyone somewhat at a loss.

the other side.

Tang Zheng and his companions easily crossed the "Rainbow Bridge" that had deactivated the traps and arrived at the towering "Aurora City Gate".

Two guards, Storm Vikings, stood straight on either side of the city gate, looking warily at Tang Zheng and his companions, as if to say "keep away, strangers."

"He who comes is stopped."

The Guardian Storm Viking shouted, "Pay your entry fee..."

There's no need for any nonsense!
Enferea manipulated the guild weapon with a single finger.

With a loud rumbling sound, the towering gates of Aurora City opened automatically, revealing the straight, pale streets of the outer city.

"It opened just like that? That was easy."

Zetsuki stared blankly at the open city gate, his lips twitching as he recalled the agonizing scene of how they had spent six days finally breaching it.
"Although the process has become simpler, why do I always feel that it will be more dangerous next?"

"A keen intuition."

Tang Zheng began to comment, his eyes gazing into the depths of the floating city: "Because for them, it's already a fight to the death." The air was slightly chilly.

"Tsk, you make it sound so easy, Lord Crown~" Zesshi Zetsumei deliberately emphasized her words, intentionally drawing out the last syllable:
"When the adults say that, I start to break out in a cold sweat."

"Power armor should have a breathable function, right?" Tang Zheng said.

"How sure are you?"

"Fifty percent."

"Half and half? That's practically saying nothing at all!"

During the argument.

The group had already crossed the city gate and entered the "outer city" area. The maze traps were not activated, and the guardians seemed to know that it was useless.

Tang Zheng immediately understood what the people of the [Floating City] were planning to do, his eyes cold: "Are they planning to integrate uncontrolled forces?"

"We need to speed things up!"

Tang Zheng and his shadow clone carried Enferea and moved forward quickly, while Jue Shi Jue Ming followed closely behind.

Da da da--

Da da da--

The soles of everyone's feet made rapid, rhythmic, and crisp sounds as they repeatedly touched the pale ground.

The sound of four figures running echoed continuously on the deserted outer city streets. There wasn't even a trace of a monster, let alone a trap.

They carefully observed their surroundings to prevent any sudden danger.

"I have a question!"

"what?"

"Since guild weapons can control the [Floating City], why don't we control those powerful monsters?"

Zesshi Zesshi glanced at Enferea and asked with a puzzled curiosity, "With those powerful monsters assisting us, things should be much easier, right?"

Tang Zheng knew that the monsters Jue Si Jue Ming was referring to were the POP monsters and mercenary monsters.

"Great idea."

"Unfortunately, the people of the [Floating City] can also control the monsters you mentioned."

Tang Zheng responded, "They're like weights on a scale; neither can overpower the other."

A sudden realization flashed in Zesshi Zesshi's heterochromatic black and white eyes.

"I see!"

"The real adversaries you're referring to are those guardians, aren't they?" (Ze Shi Ze Ming)

NPCs are different from monsters!
Guild weapons can control the traps throughout the entire [Floating City], and even affect the pop-up monsters and the mercenary monsters summoned by the "Hall of Mercenaries," but they cannot affect NPCs.

After arriving in this other world, these NPCs have developed their own thoughts, personalities, and intelligence, and are now independent individuals!
Also.

By consuming in-game gold coins and using the "Monster Mercenary Summoning Book," the summoned monster mercenaries are summonable creatures controlled by the summoner and cannot be affected by the Guild Scepter.

However, the current gold reserves in the floating city are far from sufficient to allow these guardians to unleash their full power.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As Tang Zheng and his group moved quickly, they came to see the location of the "inner city".

It was a series of pure white steps, and behind the steps, one could vaguely see several Nordic-style palaces and corridors.

Each corridor connects to a separate palace!
If the "outer city" is the residence of ordinary members and NPCs in the floating city, then the "inner city" is where the former "Eight Desire Kings" used to live.

It's not eight palaces as you might imagine!
According to intelligence, there are only six buildings in the "inner city".

According to Gros Horned Wrath, this is the original layout of the floating city. To change it, the only option is to perform a "pay-to-win" ritual. It remains unchanged, which shows that the Eight Greed Kings have not done so.

The remaining two "Eight Desire Kings" reside in the core area; for example, the Ten-Armed Giant God King stays in the "Starry Watchtower".

Bang!
The heavy thud of footsteps came from ahead, followed by a terrifying pressure that chilled the heart.

Squeak - squeak -

Tang Zheng raised his hand and waved it, and his shadow clone and Enferea stopped in their tracks instantly.

The power armor controlled by Zesshi Zesshi was a beat too slow to react, and the hard, metallic insteps rubbed against the marble floor, producing a piercing creaking sound.

next moment.

"It's him! Enpisi!"

Zesshi Zesshi also sensed something, quickly raised his head, his nerves tightened, and a noticeable flicker appeared in the eyes of the helmet emitting a soft white light.

As the guardian deity of the Slane Theocracy.

Having inherited the legacy of the six great gods, Zesshi Zesshi naturally knew a little about "Empisi" and "Preya".

I saw.

At the very top of the tall, pure white steps in the distance, a figure stood on the edge of the steps.

The terrifying aura caused the surrounding air to distort slightly!
Leoric Zhen stood with his arms crossed, grinning maliciously as he looked down at Tang Zheng and his group, fully armed.

The opponent's body was constantly flashing with the light of magic and skills, clearly indicating that it had been enhanced by various means.

"Guardian, the target has been spotted!"

"The strongest one is the inferior human on the left who desecrated the guild's weapon, the one chanting magic... no, the opponent's health and mana stats are too high."

"It is suspected to be a faith-based magic profession within the Druid system, and it cannot be ruled out that it is using anti-detection magic for clever disguise."

The intelligence quickly analyzed by "Butler" Imralis was transmitted to Leoric Zhen's mind via "message":
"Guardian, the intruders' objective is now largely clear, you don't need to..."

With the appearance of guild weapons!
Imralis, the "butler," had all his doubts and questions vanished.

These inferior creatures!

They were neither victims nor scouts, but the real invaders, and their previous inexplicable actions were a purposeful probing.

"No, Imralis."

Leoric Zhen raised his chin, his cold, vertical pupils fixed on Tang Zheng and his group as they gradually came into view.
“We were outmaneuvered by these inferior creatures from the very beginning. We never imagined that outsiders could possess guild weapons besides us.”

As soon as this happened!

Both he and Safis Sothos were equally astonished; this was a situation that had never occurred in 500 years.

It can no longer be described simply as "serious"!
If we have to compare it to the "disaster" of the past, only the one who forcibly took away the guild's weapons 200 years ago can be compared to it.

"...These invaders actually have no intention of replicating what His Majesty did in the past."

"Butler" Imralis remained silent, a thought suddenly popping into his mind, followed by a cold laugh: "At least it shows that these intruders are not as stupid as we thought."

Inside the "Starry Sky Lookout," there is a separate operating interface where you can view all the intelligence information about the entire floating city, including various monsters and their guardians.

The names of the eight supreme and great god-kings have long since disappeared.

The reason why His Majesty Rick was able to gain their approval was because his name appeared clearly on the panel.

At this moment, they didn't know the name of the human who had desecrated the guild's weapon... Hmph, he didn't want to know the name of such an inferior creature.

Since no missing names reappeared in the console messages, the other party's attempt to replicate what happened was suicidal!

"...This is...the prelude to that disaster." — "Butler" Imralis.
