I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"What? An alliance with us?"

This news left Hua Zitong somewhat incredulous.

The Heavenly Punishment Guild is known for its arrogance and xenophobia, and never forms alliances with other guilds.

This time, they actually came to us on their own initiative?

"What is their purpose?" Hua Zitong immediately became alert.

"They say that this Titan is far stronger than any previous world boss, and no single guild can defeat it."

"Only if our two guilds join forces can we have any chance of winning," Lin Hai said.

"That sounds reasonable," Hua Zitong said, stroking her chin thoughtfully.

"So... should we agree or refuse?" Lin Hai asked.

This was a major decision, and he dared not make it on his own.

Hua Zitong did not answer immediately.

She walked to the window, gazed at the bustling, ever-present city outside, and fell into a long silence.

Allying with Heavenly Punishment is undoubtedly the best option at present.

By joining forces, the chances of securing the first kill on Titan will greatly increase.

However, seeking help from a tiger is also fraught with risks.

The Eternal Spear is not one to be subservient to others.

What kind of schemes are hidden behind this alliance?

If Li Wu were here, what would he do?

A familiar figure appeared in Hua Zitong's mind.

Given his personality, he would probably refuse outright and then go off alone with just a bow to take on that Titan.

Hua Zitong gave a wry smile.

Unfortunately, she is not Li Wu.

She lacks the strength and courage to stand against the entire world single-handedly.

She is the acting guild leader of the Myth Guild.

She must make the most rational and correct choice for the benefit of the entire guild.

a long time.

She finally turned around, her eyes regaining their usual calm and decisiveness.

"Agree to their request."

"However, I have conditions."

"Tell the Eternal Spear that an alliance is fine, but command must remain with our Mythical Guild. We want 60% of the spoils."

"What?!" Lin Hai exclaimed in shock. "This...this condition is impossible for them to agree to! This is outrageous!"

"They will." A confident smile curved Hua Zitong's lips.

"Because they know better than anyone that they can't defeat the Titans without us."

"Or rather, it's inseparable from... that man's intimidating presence."

Although Li Wu is not here, the ID "Seeing Flowers Through the Fog" is itself the most powerful nuclear weapon.

If Spear of Eternity wants to reclaim the throne, it must secure this first kill.

The Myth Guild was an insurmountable obstacle for him.

Either we cooperate, or... we fail together.

Hua Zitong believed that the Eternal Spear would make a wise choice.

"I understand." Looking at Hua Zitong's confident eyes, Lin Hai's worries dissipated considerably.

He suddenly realized that the woman in front of him had unknowingly grown to the point where she was capable of standing on her own.

Perhaps she doesn't possess Li Wu's world-destroying power.

But her wisdom and decisiveness are also an indispensable asset to the Myth Guild.

"Pass on my orders!" Hua Zitong's voice echoed in the conference room.

"Mythical Guild, all members mobilize!"

"All members level 100 and above, cancel all vacations and dungeon activities, and immediately assemble at the central square!"

"The logistics department must inventory all war supplies. Within three days, I need to see our warehouses sufficient to sustain a high-intensity war that lasts for half a month!"

"Combat Regiments One and Two, immediately enter maximum combat readiness and be ready to cross-regional operations at any time!"

"We have only one goal!"

Hua Zitong's gaze swept over everyone present as she spoke, word by word.

"Corrupted Titan, first kill!"

District 1, Headquarters of the Heavenly Punishment Guild, Eternal Capital.

The atmosphere inside the magnificent council hall was solemn.

A man clad in silver dragon scale armor and wielding a golden spear stood quietly before a huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant horizon.

He was tall and handsome, with long, golden hair casually draped over his shoulders.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could see through everything.

He is the king of the first server, the strongest player recognized by the entire server, the Eternal Spear, Caesar.

Behind him stood a dozen or so players with equally powerful auras; they were the core decision-makers of the Heavenly Punishment Guild.

"Guild Master, the Myth Guild in District 21 has replied." A knight with the ID "Shield of Heavenly Punishment" spoke respectfully.

"Speak." Caesar did not turn around; his voice was calm, yet carried an innate air of authority.

"They...they agreed to the alliance proposal." The Shield of Heaven's punishment spoke with some hesitation.

"However, they put forward two conditions."

"Oh?" Caesar finally turned around, a hint of interest playing on his lips. "Tell me about it."

"First, they must control the command of the alliance."

"Secondly, they want 60% of the spoils."

After saying this, the Shield of Heaven cautiously observed Caesar's expression.

He had assumed that the president, with his pride, would be furious upon hearing such harsh conditions.

However, to his surprise, Caesar's face showed no anger, but rather a playful smile.

"Interesting," he said in a low voice. "This woman named Hua Zitong is more charismatic than I imagined."

"Guild Master, we absolutely cannot agree to this condition!" Another warrior with the ID "Sword of Heavenly Punishment" immediately stepped forward and said emotionally.

"Give them command? And they want 60% of the spoils? This is an utter disgrace! If word gets out, where will our Heavenly Punishment Guild put its face?"

"Yes, President! When has our Heavenly Punishment ever suffered such humiliation?"

"Fight them! I refuse to believe that without that 'Seeing Through the Fog' guild, their Mythical Guild can still turn the world upside down!"

The crowd in the hall was furious; almost everyone believed that the Myth Guild was humiliating them.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Caesar gave a cold shout, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.

The crowd, which had been making a ruckus just moments before, immediately fell silent.

"Do you think I don't know this is an insult?" Caesar's gaze swept coldly over everyone.

"But can any of you tell me, besides cooperating with them, what other way do we have to guarantee a 100% chance of securing the first kill on Titan?"

No one answered.

Because they know there isn't.

"You've all watched the recording of the Battle of the Undying City at least ten times," Caesar's voice deepened.

"That man, shrouded in mist, his power is beyond all our comprehension. He killed a three-headed world boss with a single arrow. Who among you could do something like that?"

Everyone fell silent again, their faces showing complex expressions.

There was resentment, there was jealousy, but more than anything, there was a deep sense of powerlessness.

"I admit that I might not be his match if I fought him alone now," Caesar said frankly, which surprised everyone.

They never imagined that their usually proud president would admit that he was inferior to others.

"But!" Caesar's tone suddenly shifted, and a fierce fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

"This doesn't mean that I, or our Divine Punishment, have lost!"

"His strength lies in his individual 'point'. Our strength, however, lies in the 'area' of the entire guild!"

"This global event is our best chance to prove ourselves! We want to show the world that the outcome of a war is never determined by a single hero, but by an invincible and powerful army!"

"Therefore, we must make this alliance happen, no matter the cost!"

"But guild leader, command authority..." Heavenly Punishment Shield was still somewhat unwilling.

"Command authority is just a title," Caesar sneered. "On the battlefield, things change in an instant. Whoever has the strongest fist is the true commander."

"As for the 60% of the spoils... heh, as long as we get the first kill, what's wrong with giving them all of it, let alone 60%?"

"What I, Caesar, have never wanted are those equipment and materials."

His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, landing on the proud figure standing on the city wall of the Undying City.

"What I really want is a chance to fight him fair and square!"

"And this Titan subjugation campaign is the perfect springboard to observe him, analyze him, and even... surpass him!"

Caesar's words ignited the passion of all the members of the Heavenly Punishment present.

They finally understood the chairman's intention.

President, it's not that I'm backing down.

He was responding to that man's challenge in a more sophisticated and far-sighted way!

"Relay my orders!" Caesar's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Reply to the Mythical Guild: We agree to all their conditions!"

"Also, tell the entire guild to enter maximum combat readiness! This time, we'll show the whole world who is the one and only king of 'Origin Realm'!"

"yes!"
