YM778.TV Chapter 322: Atlantis, Catastrophic Event
But a window popped up before everyone, and people were still discussing as none of them had gone to that door.
"When did this event start?" Erix asked as he looked around and sensed the presence of over two hundred thousand people. "So many people…."
After all, this was a global event, and each area had a portal, so people all over the world were arriving. Erix could also sense some Empyrean-order auras, indicating that people of various clans also arrived.
"This event started ten minutes before you arrived," Rin said while looking at the huge information panel. "This is interesting."
"Some areas must have forged solid ties with extraterrestrial clans since they are here," Erix said and resumed his focus on the information window.
[Myth Emergence: Atlantis]
_Description: Vanquish the King of Atlantis to save your world.
_Notes:
—> Enter the frontal door to arrive at the central hub of Atlantis occupied by the Garakuwa Hydra.
—> Kill Garakuwa Hyrdra to occupy the central hub and open six paths leading to six different tribal areas of Atlantis.
—> Each tribal area is a progressive journey of dungeons and challenges you must overcome.
—> Only after killing chiefs of all six tribes will the Atlantis Throne Chamber open for the final battle.
_Conditions:
—> Other extraterrestrial clans can enter the bubble, but only natives can participate in this event.
—> 5 months of the countdown: Failure to defeat the King of Atlantis in five months will result in the activation of Atlantis Core, which will submerge the whole world in the water and cause the destruction of 90% of the population.
—> If the native population of your world reduces to 500k from the current 4.9 million within the next five months, a new Myth civilization on par with Atlantis will emerge.
_Rewards:
—> Resources will bloom all over the Earth as people clear the challenges of Atlantis.
—> After defeating the King of Atlantis, the Planet chains will break, and a location known as the World Council will emerge for native people to contend for the ownership of the planet Earth to ascend to the cosmic scale and proceed towards broadened horizons.
—> Individual rewards based on contribution.
"Five months, huh?" Erix contemplated after reading the whole thing. "The rewards certainly seem interesting."
"What do we do now?" Aria asked. "Should we go and take control of the hub?"
"Some people approaching the door," Kenshin said as he narrowed his eyes faintly shining eyes as he extended his spirit sense.
"Let\'s go," Erix said and teleported his party as they arrived right before the door.
However, a huge red warning window popped up in everyone\'s mind.
[Warning: Only people above 30,000 Power level should proceed further.]
The group behind looked at the door and saw the same warning popping in their heads, invoking surprise in everyone.
Erix turned around and faced the group of roughly fifty people.
Behind them, another group was approaching the door, and behind them, more people started coming at the door like a herd.
However, everyone who laid their eye on the door received the same warning that stopped many people.
"Huh? This is a bummer."
"I mean, it\'s only a warning. If you want to go and court death with your twenty thousand Power level, go ahead."
"No use for us."
People\'s voices rose as they started talking and went back to the portal at the end of the huge bubble.
Meanwhile, the remaining people who had 30,000 Power level were discussing about gathering the capable ones and going together.
"Hello. Could you let us inspect your Power level?" A long-haired handsome man wearing a blue robe asked with a polite smile as he looked at Erix and others.
He was the leader of the group that was right behind Erix and others.
"Aren\'t you surprised how they suddenly appeared here? Haha, They are the rank 1 and rank 2 group," Mubei of the Black Swan guild said with a snarky laugh as he arrived with his core members.
The other guilds of Phoenix City also arrived and gathered to the left of Erix\'s group.
Kenshin also called core members of Heavenly Melody Guild and sent the rest back.
\'Leon, Zoe, and the rest, you all return and look over the island since you can\'t enter Atlantis,\' Erix said and glanced at Aria, \'Aria, you too since you can\'t enter inside.\'
\'Mhmm,\' Aria nodded.
Erix\'s eyes flashed and he teleported Aria and the rest of his guild members right before the portal at the end of the huge bubble barrier.
"Space power?" the blue-robed man raised his eyebrows.
The remaining people were roughly a bit over a hundred, and all of them had various reactions seeing Erix teleporting people away.
"It is indeed space elemental power," Erix chuckled, his inspection of Spiritual Mystic Eye capturing everyone\'s aura. "It seems we still have people below the thirty-thousand power level here, but that\'s fine."
After all, if they only counted people with exactly 30,000 Power level and above, they amounted to barely sixty.
"We are going to enter to fight that so-called Garakuwa Hyrdra and begin this quest in the true sense by occupying the hub. If you want to join, then follow."
After saying that, Erix turned around to face the door, followed by Rin and others.
The group consisted of Erix, Rin, Isabella, Kenshin, Sameira, and three people from the Heavenly Melody guild who were Kenshin\'s relatives and part of the same family. They were also in the top 30 of the world leaderboard.
[Once the Garakuwa Hydra awakens, the exit will be sealed for five minutes.]
A huge blue text panel appeared at the center of the vast circular hub that was three kilometers in diameter.
Right below the text was a massive monster with seven serpent heads coiled on the ground, with its heads resting above its body.
It had no limbs but looked terrifying with black scales with violet patterns and violet miasma whirling around it that released from the nostrils of its seven heads.
"Woah, that…"
Erix and others heard other voices as people arrived.
Kaflan arrived with Ronaldo and Barkha.
"Holy shit, that\'s a big snake," Ronaldo smacked his lips as he grinned.
"Its meat will taste good if it\'s not poisonous," Barkha licked her lips while grinning.
"Greetings, Erix. Would like to let us three into your party formation?" Kaflan said with a smile as his bald head gleaned.
"Alright," Erix invited the trio into the party and saw their levels and Power Level. However, he was surprised to see Kaflan\'s Power Level at 30,480.
"How come you didn\'t appear in Leaderboard?" Rin asked in surprise.
"I didn\'t enter the tower for the past ten days, so it didn\'t refresh yet," Kaflan said with a smile.
The other people also arrived and looked at the massive hydra sleeping at the center.
When they saw the text above it, everyone\'s face changed.
"Would you take the initiative first?" the blue-robed man asked as he looked at Erix and the group.
"What\'s your name?" Rin asked with a sharp glance.
"Leishun," the blue-robed man answered with a smile. "I am right behind you in the leaderboard. Nice to meet you."
"Roaring Thunder, eh? Just don\'t get in our way," Rin smiled and turned to look at the Hydra. "Erix, let\'s begin."
\'Dad, Mom. We are stronger than you, so just focus on supporting us,\' Rin cheekily said. \'We\'ll attract the Hydra\'s attention since we\'ll be damaging it more than others.\'
\'The rest of you should do the same,\' Erix glanced at Kaflan, Ronaldo, and Barkha. \'You three too. Just focus on doing attacks from long-range and standby your defense for unexpected attacks.\'
*Snap…*
Erix and Rin disappeared with a teleport, arriving a hundred meters away from the sleeping Hydra.
[Garakuwa Hydra]
_Grade: Legendary
_Vitality: [100%/100%]
_Power Level Stats:
—> Attack: 30,000
—> Defense: 40,000
—> Health: 200,000
\'This is nice. So its attack is at 30,000 according to its various powers that use the same calculative formulate for power level,\' Erix was surprised as he looked at the status of the hydra.
Rin nodded.
Meanwhile, the Hydra\'s fourteen eyes opened a second later and it rose up from its coiling position, raising whooping two hundred meters in height!
Many people at the edge of the hub roughly three kilometers away gulped as they saw its size.
"H-How about we just let those two handle that monster? Their Power level is already way higher than us."
Kenshin glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke and said, "Nobody is forcing you. Just plant your ass there if you don\'t want to contribute."
Leishun chuckled and said as a lightning glint flashed in his eyes, "We have to attack. I\'m pretty we\'ll get some kind of reward once that hydra dies based on our contribution."
"They started."
*Hiss!*
Erix and Rin initiated their Combat Art, entering their respective combat forms.
"W-What the fuck?"
"Did they get some kind of Super Saiyan power or what? Why do they look so…fucking badass?"
Ronaldo started biting the nails of his right hand while his eyes whirled, "I want that kind of power."
Kaflan slapped Ronaldo\'s head and loudly laughed, "Then observe them carefully. I\'m sure we can learn from them."
"Everyone! Release your long-range attacks!" Leishun shouted as he took out a fancy wooden bow with dark blue patterns.
A legendary-grade weapon of Tier-4!
Pulling its string, a lightning arrow conjured with a skill execution in its formation. The arrow changed color as he consumed Prana for the skill along with his class\'s energy and Spirit force before releasing the arrow and targetting the Hydra.
The rest of the people also released their long-range attacks while Rin and Erix were lights moving around.
The hydra\'s attacks failed to even touch them while the duo hurled their attacks on it, chipping away its Vitality at a fast rate.
Barely a minute had passed before the last head of the Hydra was also destroyed, completing the first challenge of the Atlantis.
[Congratulations. You have successfully defeated the Garakuw Hydra.]
[A Tier-5 Item box has been rewarded to everyone based on their contribution.]
[The Central Hub is activated.]
At the center of the hub, the circular part with some kind of runic formation glowed before a pond emerged.
The pond had pristine blue water with faint golden magic sparkles.
And at the edge of the hub, right at the front, six giant cave entrances became visible, each entrance had different rocky and metallic materials, but looked natural.
[The protection pond and six passages have been opened. Drink the pond\'s water to gain Aquatic protection for ten hours to survive in the brutal atmosphere of Atlantis.]
[Without Aquatic Protection, you will take increased damage of water, ice, and lightning attributes while also suffering a constant water pressure that reduces your vitality and durability of armor-sets according to the areas you venture.]
[Good luck in your endeavors.]
Everyone was surprised and flew towards the pond.
Rin and Erix looked at the six giant entrances and frowned because each one also had the same warning.
[Warning: Only those with 40,000 Power level and above should enter. It is advisable to have a Tier-5 armor set and a Tier-5 weapon for higher chances of survival and a team of at least 200 to 1000 people to venture inside.]
"Welp, this is it for today," Erix wryly chuckled and turned to the group of a hundred people.
Rin clicked her tongue. "We need more people to get stronger faster. I feel like if only two of us enter inside, we won\'t survive."
"Yeah, let\'s return," Erix said before he teleported his group to the edge of the hub and left.
However, many other powerhouses felt a huge pressure on them.
"This can\'t go on…" Leishun muttered. "We have to get stronger faster, damn it."
"Yes. If we stay behind, those two will win almost everything. That Council or something in the reward seemed very important."
The others left while discussing and talking about Erix and Rin, but all of them felt as if a fire had been lit on their assess, giving them big pressure to get stronger faster.
