Volume 5, Chapter 46 – Yunchou’s Request

For Tianyin, wiping out all these players whose Attribute Templates at best only reached the Elite level was as easy as eating and drinking water.

After a clean-up that lasted dozens of minutes, there was not a single player left in Tianyin’s field of vision.

“Mm… they really are all dead…”

Looking at the “scene of her masterpiece”, a feeling called pride naturally welled up in Tianyin’s heart.

It was hard to imagine that the loli who had once been fragile to the point of dying to anything had now become an existence all the players could only look up to.

And when she saw her current level, a lofty 302, Tianyin’s heart was filled to the brim with happiness.

Although on the game panel her Attributes were only marked with letters, the higher they went, the harder it became to raise them.

Take her Strength Attribute for example. Tianyin had started at g-, and raising g- to e- had taken her twelve Attribute Points.

Yet each time she leveled up she only gained one Attribute Point.

And raising e- to f- took Tianyin twenty four Attribute Points.

At that rate, even if Tianyin’s level were to rise all the way to the max of level one thousand, going by her previous blank Attribute Template, not to mention the low buff from that loli passive Light Body, Easy to Push Down, Tianyin’s Attributes would still be low enough to make people want to cry.

However, once Tianyin’s Original Sin state was activated, she possessed power that could match a Throne-tier.

So even though this game world had Attribute limits, for the top combat power of the game world, Throne-tiers and Legendaries, those limits could be ignored.

It was precisely because of this that players were so desperate for Templates.

After all, when a chance at great power was right in front of you, who would want to pretend it was not there?

『Samael, it is a bit of a waste that out of so many outsiders I only dealt with a portion… if I could have taken care of all of them myself, that would have been so nice…』

「Hm? Xiaoyin, why would you think that?」

『Mm, how should I put it, I actually noticed that after I kill those outsiders, I can get stronger…』

Because of the System, Tianyin could not directly tell Samael about the tenfold experience. Of course, it was not that Tianyin herself was unwilling to say it. It was that even if she said it, the System would automatically block that information, put plainly the System would mute it.

『I don’t even know how to explain it. In short, every time I kill those outsiders, my power grows a bit stronger. Mm, that is how it is.』

「I see… but Xiaoyin, I don’t object to you killing outsiders. However, as Dawn’s highest Throne-tier, you must not develop a taste for killing.」

Even though he now understood that Tianyin became stronger from killing those players, Samael was still a bit worried that Tianyin would gradually become addicted to the feeling of killing.

Of course, as it turned out, that worry from Samael was actually unnecessary.

『Relax, relax, Samael, those outsiders can revive infinitely, you know. There is no need to care about something like this at all.』

Tianyin really did have a big heart.

However, when Tianyin said that, she herself did not know that while she was killing those players who could revive infinitely, she had also killed quite a few players who had already successfully fused with True Templates.

One could say that without even realizing it, Tianyin had already truly killed more than just a handful of players.

After this little chat, Tianyin stayed where she was and rested for a while.

Once she finished resting, Tianyin set out, heading in the direction she had “asked” out of one player’s mouth.

……

A few days later, in the east of the Kingdom Faction, Yunchou, who was still facing off against the Arcane Emperor Andrew, received a report that Dawn’s Throne-tier Tianyin had appeared in the Elven Empire and repelled the player army that had invaded the Elven Empire from the north.

“Oh… so she has appeared again within the Elven Empire’s sphere of influence. Looks like the Sloth among the Seven Original Sins has already been obtained…”

Inside the snow white command tent, Yunchou sat at the main seat, reading the letter filled with intel in his hand. Below him, player after player clad in glowing rare armor did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

“By rights, is it not supposed to be three months? Why did she come out after just a month and a half this time… or has the Supreme already sensed my existence?”

Yunchou drew in a long breath, his brows knitting slightly.

As his brows furrowed, the players down below all unconsciously held their breath.

“Interesting… interesting.”

A few seconds later, Yunchou put down the intel in his hand. Then his calm gaze began to sweep over every player present.

Whenever his utterly calm eyes met theirs, every player could not help but look away.

“Let us get back to business.”

After taking in the players gathered before him, Yunchou slowly spoke.

“This plan of ours was clearly meticulous, a plan with an extremely high chance of success. If Andrew dared to leave his camp, I could guarantee that he would never return.”

“Yet why did this happen?”

“Andrew learned in advance of the ambush I set.”

“Andrew also learned ahead of time the decoy troops I arranged.”

“Andrew even saw through all the plans I had laid in advance. Whether it was the timing, the location, or every leading player, he knew every detail.”

His words should by all rights have been seething with fury, yet Yunchou’s voice was completely calm.

It was as if the “me” in those words was not actually himself.

“I don’t believe that Andrew is really that amazing. I don’t think this was Andrew just happening to see through my plan… it is because there is a traitor among you.”

“…”

Faced with Yunchou’s calm accusation, the players present all fell silent.

“Judging from your reactions, it seems none of you are traitors.”

Yunchou smiled faintly, then stood up.

“Or is it that all of you have already been bought by the financial conglomerate families backing Andrew?”

The dozens of players present remained silent, without the slightest response.

“Mm… very good.”

Looking at the many silent players, the corners of Yunchou’s mouth curled into a smile.

“Since you will not admit it, there is no way for me to tell who among you is the traitor. So, I will give you a chance to clear your names. The intel I just received says Dawn’s Throne-tier has appeared in the Elven Empire. Which means that right now, aside from that defected Paladin, Dawn no longer has any other Legendaries.”

“So next, there is something I need you to do.”

At Yunchou’s words, one of the players could not help stepping forward.

“Boss Yunchou, are you saying you want us to attack Dawn? Even if Dawn’s Throne-tier is not there, she will rush back. If you send us to attack Dawn, is that not the same as sending us to die.”

“No, no, no, it is not attacking Dawn. How could I possibly send you to your deaths.”

Smiling, Yunchou shook his head at this player’s protest.

“This is not an attack on Dawn. What I am asking is that you take back the Northern Fortress that originally belonged to our Kingdom.”
