Chapter 240 The Dilemma of Ordinary Players, Magic City

After the space gate disappeared and Chen Ming and others left, Aaron secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although judging from his aura, the alien god on the opposite side is only a demigod and is at the same realm as him, if they really fight, the outcome is still unknown.

But as a devout believer under the command of the King of Eternal Night, Aaron has also seen many alien god allies, and he is well aware of the methods of these gods.

In terms of direct combat power, they may not be as strong as himself, but those complex methods and unlimited endurance are definitely not comparable to himself.

Relying solely on his brute force, he might be able to protect himself or even suppress the opponent, but the other members of the tribe do not have his strength and will most likely suffer.

After all, this is not a plane, but a void realm with extremely low constraints on laws. Here, the gap between the strong and the weak is magnified several times, and many means of suppression are directly ineffective. If the demigod is given enough time, he can even destroy the entire seventh-level legion.

It is true that there are still many metal giants in this meteorite group, but they are all scattered. Even if a real fight breaks out, they will not be able to get over for a while.

Therefore, once a conflict occurs, if you don’t want to suffer too much loss, you can only pray for the arrival of gods.

Fortunately, the name of the King of Eternal Night is very intimidating, which directly scared away the alien gods on the opposite side, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but thank him out loud: "Thank you, my Lord, the most powerful and holy King of Eternal Night, may you be immortal forever."

Upon seeing this, the metal giants behind him also followed their leader in praying. Some even took out the "trophies" they had just obtained and performed a simple "life sacrifice".

"Eternal Supreme Spirit, we will always be loyal to you, fight for you, and die for you!"

"My Lord is eternal, and the night is immortal!"

"The Metal Giants will always follow you, clear all obstacles for you, and let the glory of our Lord shine throughout the void!"

The metal giants shouted enthusiastically, their voices surging like the waves, shaking people's hearts.

After a long while, they stopped praying and regained their composure. The ninth-order metal giant beside them saw this and stepped forward to ask, "Chief, what should we do now? Although the alien god and his followers have left, our coordinates here have also been exposed. They can come back at any time."

"You ask me what to do." Hearing his subordinates' question, Aaron scratched the back of his head. He was not the kind of person who could make decisions. He could become the patriarch only because he was strong enough and inherited smoothly. Now let him make the decision, and for a while, he really didn't know what to do.

"Why don't we just notify the Empire and let them help us decide?" As if seeing the patriarch's dilemma, another metal giant stepped forward and suggested.

"No."

Hearing his opinion, Aaron shook his head and rejected it without even thinking.

Seeing his companions' puzzled eyes, Aaron explained, "This place is too far away from the Eternal Night Plane. We can't contact the Empire through normal means. If we want to communicate with the Empire, we can only ask the King for help. Now the King is sleeping, how can we disturb Him for such a small matter!"

"What should we do? We can't continue to sleep, right? What if they come back and bring people to surround and kill us? They were not prepared before, so we beat them and made them run everywhere. Once they are ready and we fall asleep again, won't we be lambs to be slaughtered!" Although the metal giant was confident in the strength of himself and his people, he did not underestimate the warriors of other races. If he let the other side make sufficient preparations and he and others fell into a deep sleep, they might be killed silently.

Aaron was silent for a while, then said, "How about this, you go and wake everyone up so that they won't sleep so scattered. Also, leave a soldier on duty at each sleeping spot, and rotate them every once in a while. Have them stay alert at all times, and immediately wake up their sleeping companions if there is an invasion by foreign enemies."

Several metal giants looked at each other, and there was no better way. They nodded helplessly: "This is the only way."

According to Aaron's approach, the transformation speed of the metal giant will inevitably be slowed down, but choosing the lesser of two evils, compared to disturbing His Majesty the God and falling into a complete sleep, Aaron's proposal is obviously better.

In a plane about two thousand void units away from here, Chen Ming, who was guarded against by the metal giant, has returned to this plane with his army.

Above the sky, in the divine realm, Chen Ming, who sat back on the throne, had a very ugly expression on his face.

"Fuck, I finally found a resource vein, but in the end I didn't get anything out of it. It's fucked up!" Chen Ming became very annoyed when he thought that all his previous efforts had gone to waste.

Now, apart from this plane, the void resources he controls are very few.

Either it is a small celestial body with extremely limited mineral resources; or it is a demiplane developed jointly with other players. Although the resources are rich, the mining difficulty is somewhat high.

I thought I would become rich after finding an uninhabited meteorite group, but who knew it would end like this.

The more Chen Ming thought about it, the angrier he became. He was about to explode. But now he had no one to talk to, and he became even more depressed.

After a long while, after venting his emotions, he finally calmed down, his eyes looked a little cold:
"Why don't we join forces with others and fight back..."

The rich mineral resources on the meteorite really made it difficult for Chen Ming to choose, but relying solely on his own strength, it was even difficult for him to defeat the group of metal giants.

Apart from anything else, the demigod metal giant leader alone is difficult enough to deal with.

If a few more ninth-level warriors surrounded him, it would not be impossible for him to be seriously injured.

Yes, it's that miserable.

Compared with players in organizations like Bloody Dawn, players like Chen Ming are not doing very well. Their early accumulation is not deep enough, so after being promoted to the middle realm, they have not undergone any qualitative changes.

The deity's original strength is just that of a demigod, between ordinary demigod and advanced demigod.

With this strength, he might be able to bully some weak Void Beast Kings, but if he encounters a tough one, he will definitely be in trouble.

It was obvious that the demigod metal giant leader was one of the toughest of the tough. His surging blood and energy made Chen Ming doubt his life for a moment.

Since we can't do it on our own, we can only seek external help.

After being promoted for so long, it is naturally impossible for Chen Ming to still be alone. Realizing the importance of the organization, he has been looking for ways to join those large organizations.

However, no large organization was willing to accept him. After some twists and turns, Chen Ming joined a small organization nearby.

The members of this organization are in a similar situation to Chen Ming. In order to survive better, they have to unite and form a mutual aid alliance.

After all, not every player has the ability to develop the void and occupy planes.

If one person can't stand on his own, then a group of people can. Even though the benefits they get will be less, it's better than having nothing at all.

Now Chen Ming was thinking like this. Since he couldn't deal with the metal giant on the meteorite by himself, he would call on others to help. With more than a dozen demigods attacking together, even if the metal giant leader was strong, he would be destroyed on the spot.

However, this thought only stayed in Chen Ming's mind for a moment before he directly rejected it.

After casting several mental clearing spells on himself, his mind became completely clear. He slapped his head and said to himself: "I am really crazy. I actually wanted to attack those monsters!" In Chen Ming's view, those players at the top of the rankings are real "monsters".

In the primary realm, no one has fully developed yet, and can still rely on numbers to fight back.

Now, it has been such a long time since I was promoted to the middle realm.

With the background of those big guys, there is no telling what they would become!
Although he had never seen the other party's power, Chen Ming suspected that the faith power of more than a dozen players in his entire organization combined would not be as large as Yongye alone.

Shaking his head, Chen Ming still felt a little scared:
"That's Eternal Night, the second-best ranked player in the Eastern Conference! I'm a rookie ranked last, so it would be fine if I didn't try to curry favor with him, but he actually dared to set his sights on him. He's really courting death!"

"Wait, fawning?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Ming said to himself thoughtfully: "Although it is a bit embarrassing to do this, it seems that it is not impossible. If I can hold on to the thigh of this top boss, He will give me some "garbage" and it will be enough for me to eat."

Chen Ming fell into deep thought, and an idea gradually came to his mind.

Time flies, time flies like an arrow.

Before we knew it, forty-three years had passed since the Eternal Night Empire unified the entire plane and the Eternal Night King fell into a deep sleep.

The plane of eternal night.

Evernight City.

The capital of the empire, which had been expanded again, was so magnificent that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The solid metal walls, which were hundreds of meters high, were like a giant dragon winding around, towering and majestic. The walls were engraved with ancient forbidden inscriptions, which had terrifying power. They were connected in series to form a magic circle that covered the entire city. Once fully deployed, it could instantly display the power to destroy the world.

Magic cannons are mounted on the city walls. The barrels are long and straight, pitch black and shining with metallic luster. One can feel the terrifying power contained in them just by looking at them.

Inside the city, there are many magic towers.

The towers are hundreds of meters high, like giant swords inserted in the city. They do not show any brilliance and look somewhat ordinary, but when they are in full bloom, they will be enough to change the world.

In addition to various instruments and props, there are also tall black-armored soldiers patrolling.

They are much taller than normal humans, with an average height of three meters, and look like little giants.

The entire city is like a super-giant war fortress. Once activated, it can destroy all invading enemies.

However, having said that, in reality, the defense system of Eternal Night City is not even ranked in the top ten in the entire empire.

After all, Eternal Night City is the imperial capital. As the capital of the empire, it is located at the core of the entire empire. It is impossible for any force to be able to attack here.

Even if we take a step back and say that a force really does attack here, then no defense system will be effective.

Therefore, for the Empire, the defense system of Eternal Night City is more like an external decoration, just for show.

Looking from a distance, one can feel the grandeur and immensity of the City of Eternal Night, but walking into the City of Eternal Night gives one a completely different feeling.

Magical.

It’s like coming to a magical world, where you can see the high degree of integration of magic and technology.

There are towering buildings hundreds of meters high everywhere. Under the light of magic, they are maintained in an incredible form. The surfaces of these buildings are inlaid with glowing gems. When night falls, they will emit a soft light, illuminating the entire city.

The city's streets are wide and clean, without any garbage to be seen. Various exotic magical plants are planted on both sides of the streets. They thrive in the nourishment of rich spiritual energy, and some can even fluoresce at night, adding a touch of mystery to the city.

From time to time, people would ride flying carpets across the sky at an incredibly fast speed, yet extremely stable. They traveled along the route planned by the empire, as if they were driving on a highway in the sky.

These flying carpets are the product of the combination of imperial technology and magic. They use special magic circles to control the direction and speed of flight. Only a very small amount of crystals are needed to operate them with the help of the magic circle covering the entire city.

On the ground, carriages were still used as tools, driven by special exotic horses that had been cultivated. Still using this primitive biological drive, it was not that the Eternal Night Empire did not have a better and more convenient driving force.

Whether it is the magic puppet or the undead, they are both very good driving forces.

But compared to those dead things, the people of the empire still prefer living things. The feeling of conquering other living beings makes them very comfortable.

After nearly half a century of development, during which time various technologies were acquired, the speed of technological development in the Eternal Night Empire was beyond imagination, and the people's livelihood also improved accordingly, reaching its current level.

In the center of the Eternal Night City, there is a lifelike statue of a god, which is the ultimate faith of all living beings in the Eternal Night Empire, the King of Eternal Night.

The statue is extremely tall, reaching into the sky, overlooking the entire city.

The statue has a stern face and extremely calm eyes. It is dressed in black armor, holding a book in its left hand and a sword in its right hand. It is full of divine majesty, like a domineering king who rules the world, or a wise saint who educates all living beings and leads the advancement of civilization.

It took decades of time and used countless rare materials. It was carefully crafted by the empire's most outstanding team of sculptors in cooperation with the Imperial Research Institute. It is not only a work of art, but also a terrifying war machine.

Every day, a large number of people from the empire come here to worship, pray to the gods, and offer their loyalty and faith.

The same is true today, thousands of Eternal Night people are worshipping and praying.

Sudden…

boom--

A loud noise broke the silence here.
