"Buzz—"

A ripple, like water, spread across the void in the very center of the arena.

A tall and slender young man's silhouette slowly appeared.

He was dressed in a sharp, pure black bespoke suit, with an elegant posture, but his face was covered by a faceless mask that was so pale it was chilling.

He is the president of the Freedom Alliance, the absolute ruler who calls himself the "God's Messenger"—Starseeker!

The moment he appeared, the entire arena fell silent, and everyone lowered their proud heads in submission.

Starseeker slightly turned the white mask, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void, landing on the empty chair that belonged to Neptune.

"Neptune... has fallen."

His voice was flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

But these words were like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the stands.

"What?! Neptune has Tier 7 vehicles!"

"Who could kill him? Did he encounter a mythical creature of rank 7 or higher?"

Starseeker slowly raised his right hand, which was wearing a white glove, and the arena fell silent once again.

"According to his last message before his death, his killer... was a Chinese player with red hair. His codename was 'Red-Haired Boss.'"

"Starting now!"

Starseeker's voice suddenly rose, echoing throughout the empty arena, "This person's attention and kill level have been raised to the highest tier! They are now on par with the anonymous player who holds first place on the leaderboard!"

"Yes!" hundreds of Freedom Alliance members roared in unison.

On the first row of stone benches, Mars, a burly man who resembled a war god, seemed indifferent to Neptune's death.

He sneered, then stood up, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully to Starseeker:

"My lord, may I ask, great God, has any new divine decree been bestowed today?"

Starseeker slightly raised his chin, his gaze sweeping over everyone behind the mask, and slowly opened his arms, as if embracing some indescribable being:

"The divine decree has never changed!"

"He needs a great many souls! The more souls sacrificed, the more abundant the blessings God bestows!"

"Thanks be to God for His blessings!" Everyone bowed their heads in prayer.

This is why these top elites from various countries submitted to Starseeker and joined the Freedom Alliance.

Besides uniting to crush the largest number of players in China, the most important thing is that they received unimaginable rewards from a powerful deity!

For example, extraordinary items, Tier 7 vehicle upgrade blueprints, and basic Starstones!

According to the divine messenger, if enough souls are sacrificed, the gods will even bestow upon you [Level 8 Vehicle Upgrade Blueprints] and [Intermediate Starstones]!

"My lord," Mars straightened up and smiled, "the tonight's tally is about to begin. Your score should undoubtedly be in first place, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ashina Genichiro, the strongest warrior in Japan who had been resting with his eyes closed and holding his katana, suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze piercing Starseeker in the center of the arena.

Sitting in the second row, a voluptuous female player covered her mouth and giggled, her tone full of flattery: "If it weren't for the fact that the Divine Envoy didn't intervene yesterday because he was presiding over the sacrificial ceremony, I'm afraid this first place would have already changed hands."

She paused, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "As for the current number one, that anonymous player who's been hiding his identity, his score hasn't increased by even a single point for three whole days."

"What does this mean?" the female player sneered. "It means the other person is probably greedy and has gotten stuck in some high-difficulty side quest."

"You should know that some of the side quests in the Misty Lands are nightmare-level, almost impossible to complete! Going in is a death sentence!"

"Of course," another white player in a suit chimed in, "there's also the possibility that the anonymous player just got lucky and stumbled upon a high-level monster."

Now that his luck has run out, he has completely lost his ability to fight and can only hide in some corner like a rat, waiting to die!

Starseeker chuckled as he listened to his subordinates' flattery.

That laughter conveyed absolute control and composure.

"My personal points have reached over 228,000."

Starseeker spoke slowly, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the number one spot will be rightfully ours tonight."

As he spoke, his slender fingers gently stroked the white mask on his face, and an air of haughty disdain for all living beings arose spontaneously within him:

"Actually, I've never considered that anonymous player a true opponent. My only opponents are myself and the end of this fog. If I want to, I can surpass him and crush him under my feet at any time!"

"The divine messenger is mighty!"

"Truly worthy of being called the Divine Envoy! 22 points! This is simply an insurmountable miracle!"

"That anonymous player is nothing but a clown in front of the Divine Envoy!"

The entire arena was filled with enthusiastic praise.

Just then.

Starseeker suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture as if pressing into empty space.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

"Time is up."

"Tick-tock".

At the moment when midnight arrives.

The system's voice rang out precisely in the minds of all players in the Misty Lands.

[Ding! Day 5 of the M-007 Points Challenge in the Land of Mist has ended. Results are now being tallied!]

[Current number of teams remaining: 6220!]

According to the elimination rules, the bottom 100 teams in the overall team rankings will be eliminated!

[Elimination list confirmed: Team 0056, Team 0125, Team 0334...]

The erasure process has been initiated—to be executed immediately.

The moment that cold announcement ended.

Hundreds of blinding red lights simultaneously illuminated various corners of the Misty Land. These were the annihilation beams descended by the system.

With no chance of resistance, tens of thousands of players, along with their vehicles, were instantly disintegrated into the most basic atoms in the red light, completely erased from this world.

Inside the arena, seeing that the number of remaining teams had decreased by nearly two thousand in just one day, the members of the Freedom Alliance revealed cruel smiles.

Because the vast majority of the two thousand teams that disappeared were their "masterpieces" in the past few days!

Since Starseeker issued the "oracle," in addition to hunting monsters, their greatest passion has been capturing players alive like prey, offering them as sacrifices to the unknown god in exchange for rewards.

"look!"

Mars's gruff voice rang out as he pointed to the empty space above, "The individual points leaderboard is out!"
