Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

"Phew...that's good...if the Holy See also intervenes, it's absolutely impossible to breach the main city at this stage. But the problem is...what do we do next? Are we really just going to sit here and wait?"

As for Wang Xing, the number one player, the mighty Night Emperor, he was instantly killed by Orochi in a single encounter.

Having suffered defeats on two fronts, they are now truly caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

"Dark Night, you should have witnessed the power of Yamata no Orochi, right? If I were to gather several Demon Kings and a Demon Emperor to lend you a hand, would you be confident in your ability to kill Yamata no Orochi?"

"Huh? Demons...helping me fight the sacred beast? This..."

Absurd, utterly absurd.

Humans and demons are mortal enemies, after all, it was the demons who invaded the human world.

The reason Wang Xing isn't attacking the demons right now is simply because he wants to use them to destroy the Sakura District.

Once the destruction of the Cherry Blossom District is complete, he still needs to fulfill the Demon Hunter's mission.

Now, things have taken an unexpected turn. A demon king from the demon race is telling you that they will help you fight the BOSS. This extreme contrast left Wang Xing momentarily speechless.

"I don't understand. If you really have the strength, why don't you join forces and kill Kentaro and that cardinal? As long as the cardinal is dead, won't Sakura Ward still fall?"

"Don't you understand?" Yukihime's voice suddenly rang out.

"Understand what?"

"Killing the Archbishop will at most accelerate the fall of the entire Sakura District; it won't have a significant impact on the demons. Even if the demons retake the main city, the four sacred beasts will still be hampered as long as they survive. If the Sakura District truly faces a life-or-death situation, the sacred beasts will take the initiative to attack, joining forces with humanity to fight against the demons. With the sacred beasts' power, this number of demon emperors is simply no match for them!"

"But if we join forces to kill the Yamata no Orochi, that's a different story. When the teleportation array opens, countless demons will descend upon the Sakura District. There will be hundreds of Demon Kings and more than ten Demon Emperors! With that strength, we can completely contend with the Sacred Beasts, and the Sakura District will undoubtedly fall!"

Hearing Xueji's explanation, Wang Xing understood.

It's simply a matter of perspective. Wang Xing's goal is to destroy the Sakura District, while Yana's goal is to open the teleportation array and allow more demons to descend upon the Sakura District.

The former is advantageous to the Dragon Kingdom, but it doesn't offer much benefit to the Demon Clan. They will still face the siege of the Four Sacred Beasts, and will most likely lose in the end.

The latter is advantageous to the demons; once the teleportation array is activated, the demons will descend, and the Sakura Kingdom will surely be destroyed. However, the problem is that a large-scale demon invasion of this world would be a disaster for the entire human race!

After all, no one can be sure whether the demons will use the teleportation array to reach another server.

"What? Are you hesitating?"

What do you think?

Seemingly understanding the implication in Wang Xing's words, Xue Ji smiled faintly and said, "I know your concerns, but those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. I even entrusted myself to you for revenge, yet you're hesitating here about whether the demons will invade the Dragon Kingdom? What, do you think that if you let the demons here go, the Dragon Kingdom won't be invaded? Or are you saying that if you let the demons here go, they'll be grateful to you?"

"You're too naive! Throughout history, what great undertaking has ever been accomplished without sacrifice? What great undertaking has ever come without a price?! Releasing the demons may indeed harm the entire human race, but so what? Have you forgotten that this is just a game? Even if this game can affect the interests of countries around the world, it's still just a game!"

That's all!

"In other words, if in reality you had an opportunity to completely destroy the Sakura Kingdom, but humanity would pay a price afterward, would you take it or not?"

"..."

Upon hearing Xue Ji's question, Wang Xing fell silent.

Yes, if he had such an opportunity in real life, would he take it or not?

Wang Xing believed that if such an opportunity truly came, even if he were to die in Japan, countless passionate men would risk their lives for him.

If you succeed, you'll be remembered in history! Your family tree will be rewritten! Your prestige will even surpass that of ancient emperors!

If this is true in real life, then it's even more true in a game.

So what if the entire world in the game is taken over by demons? We can just stop playing the game.

Anyway, I already have a lot of money, enough to last ten lifetimes, so what is there to care about?

Once Wang Xing understood all of this, he felt a sense of enlightenment, and the gloom that had been weighing on his heart vanished instantly.

"Alright! I agree! But... with our current strength, I'm afraid we can't kill Orochi, right? The Demon Emperor is indeed powerful, but even a single Demon Emperor, plus a few Demon Kings, might not be able to kill me, so how could we possibly kill Orochi?"

"Therefore... we need to release more Demon Emperors!"

Wang Xing looked at Yana with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?" "Release the Demon Emperor? You must be kidding me! You just said that with the Cardinal in Cardinal robes there, we couldn't possibly win, and now you want me to break through the city and release the Demon Emperor? Are you kidding me?"

"Don't rush, let me finish explaining my plan first."

"Alright, then you go ahead." Wang Xing leaned back in his chair and gestured for Xue Ji to begin explaining her plan.

"Yana and I have discussed it. A direct assault is definitely not feasible. With the Archbishop there, he can reinforce the main city in a very short time, making it impossible for us to breach it. However! No matter how powerful the Archbishop is, there's only one. What if we attack two main cities simultaneously? He can only go to rescue one at most, and the other will inevitably fall. As long as we have two Demon Emperor-level experts and a bunch of Demon Kings, defeating the Yamata no Orochi will be a piece of cake!"

"Oh?" Wang Xing sat up straight in his chair and looked at Xue Ji with interest.

"Your plan... does... make some sense, but it's just splitting the army into two groups, putting them in a difficult position. However, there's a problem: Sihai City no longer has its sealing formation. If we split our forces to attack the main city, the Sihai City lord can easily go and help the other city. If that happens, what should we do?"

Yukihime seemed to have considered this problem long ago, and a confident smile appeared on her face. "It's simple. We just need to send a few Demon Kings, leading a large number of demons and mutated monsters, to attack Four Seas City, and we can hold them back, right?"

"Although the seal on Four Seas City is gone, it's now completely empty. Kentaro is a lone commander with no powerful warriors to defend it. Moreover, his weapon is still in the hands of Demon Emperor Dragon, weakening him. We only need to send two or three Demon Kings over to hold him off for a few hours. And that's enough time for us to release another Demon Emperor!"
