MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Fluttering Snow Alliance was not an association established within King of Pantheon itself. Its origin was similar to that of Tyrannic Dynasty, being a long-standing guild from other games.

It was most important to lay the foundation, so many of its members had entered the game prior to Fluttering Snow Alliance officially announcing themselves in Pantheon.

Fluttering Snow Alliance was operating on a huge scale, having laid a stronger foundation than Tyrannic Dynasty. Rumor has it that Defiantly Tyrannical entered Pantheon because he was beaten to death in another game by Fluttering Snow Alliance. Unable to muddle through, he quit that game. However, it was not a happy ending for Defiantly Tyrannical. He entered Pantheon a year earlier than Fluttering Snow Alliance just so he could establish footing before Fluttering Snow Alliance made its entrance. Shame though, his plans were foiled by Li Yi, this assh*le.

“A hundred against one and the ambush has to work properly in order to win. The targets are just too good.”

Milk Dipper Solitary sent the battle recordings to Li Yi. Although the assassinations were mostly a failure, the employer should have a clear picture of the process regardless.

Prior to Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Guild Master announcing themselves, members who joined earlier kept a low profile by avoiding both confrontations and first kills. They only selected normal-level dungeons to clear and showed nothing out of the ordinary.

However, this was not their true nature. At the rise of Fluttering Snow Alliance, these people started to ignite their spirits and became aggressive. Whoever who offended them would face their wrath to the point cities could be burned to the ground.

There once was a saying used to describe Fluttering Snow Alliance.

Fluttering Snow Alliance did not cause snow to flutter, but blood!

The fact that they dared to counter-attack indicated that the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s army was coming…

Checking the battle videos, Li Yi drew up a plan.

There were only ten player-administered major cities in Invincible Continent that did not belong to Iron Alliance, the rest were all under Iron Alliance’s control. The number of cities under them was amazingly high. Even King Arthur in the past life managed just half the cities of his continent.

Li Yi was not the least bit interested in becoming King. More than once Jiaojiao tried to transfer Kingship to him but was rejected. He has his own goal and his sights were set higher than anyone else.

Above King was Emperor. An Emperor managed the three camps and was the overlord of the three Kings. An Emperor has the power to overwrite a player’s privileges and it did not stop there…

Above the Emperor was Ruler of God, aka King of Pantheon! King of Pantheon! Just as the name of the game suggested, the player with the highest achievement would become King of Pantheon!

What was the point of becoming a measly King? Go big or go home, he has his eyes set on the highest position!

Li Yi’s goal was buried deep within his heart because his current conditions made achieving his dream look unrealistic.

Putting Ruler of God aside, becoming Emperor with Iron Alliance’s current abilities was virtually impossible.

In order to become Emperor, the other two continents have to be occupied. Simply occupying one continent, let alone two posed a fairly difficult challenge.

The condition was to seize half of the enemy’s cities and occupy their Celestial Capital for at least seven days!

Within that seven days, should the cities in control be cut down to less than half, the seven-day deadline would extend indefinitely…

At current state, forget Iron Alliance, even if Invincible Continent were to team up altogether, achieving this was still impossible.

The road to becoming Emperor was a tough one…

The idea of secretly cultivating talents in opposing camps was genius but nobody was dumb here. Everyone has their ambition. If Li Yi could think about this, so would the players from other camps.

The Fishing Grand Prix has officially begun but Li Yi did not participate this time. The prize for the second annual Fishing Grand Prix was too trashy, it stirred no interest in Li Yi.

However, Jiaojiao, Little Elf from the Magical Realm and rest still harbored great interest. They all grabbed their poles and headed for Water World while Li Yi went to the Auction House and grab a few materials for the apothecary at home.

His apothecary level was building up but gradually slowing down. There was only one way to level up and that was by burning a hole in one’s pocket.

“Brother Windcloud Nine’s a good man…”

Li Yi gasped with admiration at the house full of materials.

Mermaid Princess was humming a melodious tune beside him while Onyxia was handing him materials like a servant. Li Yi’s hands were sparkling in red light as he refined piles and piles of materials…

His mastery in Apocathery skyrocketed…

…

The second annual Fishing Grand Prix drew out many talents. Contenders of the previous competition such as Snickersnee, Windcloud Temptation all fell out of the race and did not even make it to the finals.

In the end, Invincible Continent and Southern Continent were completely wiped out, leaving the Western Continent bagging all three top places.

1st place: Sister Windcloud Nine

2nd place: Ashy Sky

3rd place: Prague

Sister Windcloud Nine has been on a roll recently, from camping Dark Wing’s corpse to bringing home the trophy in the Fishing Grand Prix, earning her looks from everywhere. Female players were more popular than male players, after all, especially female players with looks and ability. They were the goddess of these otakus.

Sister Windcloud Nine was on fire, surpassing the reputation that of her husband, ultimately becoming the most famous of the Windcloud Clan. Although, she never actually joined the Windcloud Clan…

2nd place, Ashy Sky and 3rd place Prague were from Legendary Tribe, the dominating guild at the later stage!

With the Fishing Grand Prix over, Fluttering Snow Alliance announced its entry into Pantheon.

However this time, it was slightly different from the past life. Fluttering Snow Alliance only proclaimed two subsidiary guilds, in the Western and Southern Continent, leaving out Invincible Continent.

With Iron Alliance in the limelight, even Fluttering Snow Alliance dared not make any hasty moves.

Of course, their actions were not limited to an announcement, Chen Lang found a surge of tens of thousands of new players in Newbie Village of Invincible Continent. The increase in frequency was way beyond normal. This was the sign that the Fluttering Snow Alliance army was making a base in the game.

What would be, would be. Li Yi who was been plotting for long finally executed his move.

He issued Iron Alliance kill order to slaughter anyone with Fluttering Snow Alliance icon on their head at all costs!

Li Yi has no influence over Fluttering Snow Alliance in the other two continents but he would not let them a chance to run free in Invincible Continent.

In a short span of seven days, players with the name Fluttering Snow Alliance disappeared in Invincible Continent.

Chen Lang gathered the latest intel, reporting the disappearance of several thousand in Newbie Village. Instead, the Newbie Village in the Western and Southern Continent has increased drastically.

Was this a diversion tactic of Fluttering Snow Alliance?

“Continue the hunt!” Li Yi ordered.

As he has given the orders, he would not hold back. Although he dared not say he could banish Fluttering Snow Alliance completely, he has the confidence to cut down their numbers.

Li Yi’s hardcore action brought forward a drastic change in trend in the Invincible Continent.

Scholar, Don’t Know Who, Forget Loneliness, Raining Wretched Gorge, Faded Cloud Breeze… These Fluttering Snow Alliance elites in Invincible Continent all betrayed their country and sought refuge in the other two camps.

With the main elites betraying their nation, this meant that Fluttering Snow Alliance has temporally forestalled their plans to expand in Invincible Continent.

The official forums were in a heated discussion. There were those who applauded while others flung abuse. With all that hustle and bustle going on, it was definitely simmering with excitement.

What was Fluttering Snow Alliance?

It was not some newly established guild but a long-standing crowned guild that went way back in history. No matter the game it was involved, their players were influential leader-type characters. Would they fall to the feet of others?

Of course not!

In the forums, those players who were tortured by Fluttering Snow Alliance was filled with glee while those in support of Fluttering Snow Alliance were infuriated and calling Dark Wing out as despicable. The two parties launched a bitter fight of profanity.

The more they ran their mouths, the more viciously Li Yi responded. On the other hand, things were not as calm as it seemed in the Western and Southern Continent.

Arthur openly welcomed Fluttering Snow Alliance into the Southern Continent and proactively concluded an alliance to become allies.

Arthur was in a tight spot, having not recovered from the strike by Li Yi. Moreover, his past as a closed-beta player has turned many players against him. His original supporters were no longer on his side. He has ran into a dead end and resorted to clinging onto Fluttering Snow Alliance.

Night Moon and the Windcloud Clan of the Western Continent made their moves, opting to use the same tactics as Li Yi and teaming up to push Fluttering Snow Alliance out.

Fluttering Snow Alliance was a guild with many dark pasts. Backstabbing, acts of treachery towards allies, etc were examples of the many immoral examples they committed. This was one of the reasons why the majority of players were against them.

They needed to nip it in the bud so that Fluttering Snow Alliance would never rise up or they would be the one suffering the consequences. This was the common thought shared by Night Moon of Reigning the World and the Windcloud Clan.

Unfortunately, they not so lucky as Li Yi. Although the two guilds teamed up to suppress the enemy, Fluttering Snow Alliance was no softie. They currently did not dare to offend Iron Alliance but that did not mean they were afraid of everyone.

Fluttering Snow Alliance struck back. They gathered their men and kicked Reigning the World out of their city, while for the Windcloud Clan, they used brute force, ultimately defeating both Reigning the World and the Windcloud Clan.

There was no use to Reigning the World and Windcloud Clan fighting back, as they stood no chance against them. Every single day, their city was seized and their members killed until they quit the guild. They were… devastatingly crushed.

Legendary Tribe who always kept a low profile showed up at such a time and with the aid of Fluttering Snow Alliance, they easily claimed the throne in the Western Continent.

In this life, history was changed once again. Night Moon of Reigning the World never made it as the first Queen of the Western Continent. The first King of the Western Continent was now the Guild Master of Legendary Tribe, Prague!

With such chaos running in the background, the second annual Arena Championship began.

Tragedy struck Defiant Zephyr as he was hunted and killed by Huashan. The more he was killed, the angrier he grew. The angrier he grew, the more he was killed. His level kept dropping and his equipment were all dropped. He has lost the possibility of ever taking the crown.

The list of players in the finals was released.

Invincible Jiaojiao was unexpectedly, in the list!
