Chapter 1 Who is Saint Hong Michael?

The top powerhouse reigning over the leaderboard, a walking strategic weapon, the supreme force of the Global Supernatural Alliance...

The strong are always admired, especially transcendent beings standing at the pinnacle of the planet.

Any player on the leaderboard receives courtesy and adulation.

Their past is excavated, their every word and action are constantly scrutinized, and their arrival anywhere attracts the high attention of local forces.

Even Syndicate members with excellent security measures sometimes have traces discovered by agencies such as the Special Affairs Bureau, leading to investigations.

But strangely, very little news has emerged about Michael, the supreme powerhouse who is the focus of all attention.

Besides the fact that He was probably among the earliest players, people don't know His hometown, His language, His skin color, or even His gender.

No one has ever seen Him in scenario missions, and in the real world, He lives in a room in the headquarters building of the Global Supernatural Alliance.

Only when an extremely dangerous anomaly occurs somewhere can people see Him wearing armor, with an angelic halo above His head, traveling to the target location in a high-speed aircraft to resolve the anomaly—

He doesn't need helpers. The assistants assigned to Him by the Global Supernatural Alliance only need to set up a perimeter around the target location to prevent outsiders from entering.

His attack method is just like what He demonstrated in the Sky Arena before: drawing a sword burning with fierce flames, and with one strike, the flames incinerate the heavens, and all monsters are destroyed.

During the past Sky Arena tower climbing process, only a very few players could barely withstand His first sword, not falling out of the ring and collapsing into unconsciousness, directly admitting defeat.

And all of these people were on the list after the individual combat power rankings came out.

"Still not working?"

The brawny [Ju Que], one of the vice-chairmen of the Sword King's Court guild, smiled wryly and reached out to pat off the flames on his body, muttering to himself, "I originally thought that borrowing the wrist guard from the chairman would allow me to hold on a little longer, forcing Michael to show more trump cards, at least forcing Him to use the third and fourth swords...

I didn't expect it would be like this."

[Ju Que] sighed, sheathed his door-like giant sword on his back, and turned to look at the audience—where the chairman of the Sword King's Court guild, [Zhan Lu], and the three vice-chairmen [Cheng Ying], [Yu Chang], and [Chi Xiao] were sitting.

In addition, senior personnel from many other large guilds also received the news and came to watch [Michael]'s first arena match.

"As strong as ever..."

In a corner of the audience, [Tai Hao], who was squinting and leaning against the wall, sighed and looked at [Shi Kong] next to him, laughing: "Do you think we two together can beat her?"

The black-haired youth glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "If you get serious, you can at least barely draw with her."

"I think I'd rather be beaten to death."

Tai Hao waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "Such a good opportunity, aren't you going to challenge her?"

"Go all out and have others see my trump cards?"

Shi Kong said coldly, "Although I don't care, my teacher requires me to win the final match as much as possible.

Before that, I won't do anything useless."

"Tsk."

Tai Hao clicked his tongue, "Why are you so obedient? Does that mean if the teacher asks you to go to Amsterdam with him to have fun, you'll go too?"

Shi Kong glanced at him and said lightly, "First of all, the teacher wouldn't do such a boring thing.

Secondly, are you not afraid of him hearing you slandering him like that?"

"He's not here, what am I afraid of?"

Although Tai Hao, who had no demeanor of a senior disciple, said so, his body honestly straightened up from the wall, looking around nervously, afraid that the professor would pop out from some corner.

Fortunately, he didn't.

Just as the two Syndicate disciples were chatting idly, Michael on the arena had already walked down, surrounded by members of the Global Supernatural Alliance, and headed towards the stairs to the second floor.

Most of the people in the audience were drawn to Him, following Him up to the second floor, watching Michael's every move.

Second floor, third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor...

Michael continuously signed up for arena matches, and no matter what enemies he encountered along the way, he would knock them away with one or two swords.

At first, members of the major forces tried harder to force out more of Michael's moves, but later everyone gave up trying, directly surrendering and watching Michael rise all the way to the fifteenth floor.

There are currently no players above the fifteenth floor. Facing the randomly generated enemies by the system, Michael continued to eliminate them with two swords each, climbing up at the speed of light, reaching the 40th floor before slowing down.

Eventually, he stopped at the 49th floor, did not continue the challenge, and logged off to leave.

————

"Only took less than an hour to climb to the 49th floor..."

In the Sky Arena audience, a delicate-looking young man in a classical blue shirt muttered to himself.

His name is Ju Tianfu, a Lv20 player, a disciple of the Different Society, an agent of the Special Affairs Bureau stationed at the Global Supernatural Alliance, and also a permanent guest on the very popular "Chaser of the Wind" program.

Due to his handsome appearance, high strength, excellent image and temperament, courageous and resourceful in combat, and fearless of danger in shouldering his mission,

The sixteen-year-old Ju Tianfu has gained a large number of fans worldwide after the program aired—including a large number of older sister, older brother, mom, and dad fans.

He became a sensation all over the internet, his fan support group was quickly established, his media index soared, surpassing many celebrities in one fell swoop, and his every word and action could dominate the hot searches.

However, this also caused him some trouble—the breakfast shop opened by his parents has now become a网红 (wanghong) check-in shop, and he has to ask Special Affairs Bureau colleagues to maintain order every day. The elementary school he used to attend has also repeatedly wanted to invite him back to his alma mater to give a speech...

"What are you thinking about so seriously?"

A voice came from behind, and Ju Tianfu turned his head, pleasantly surprised: "Senior Brother? Why are you here?"

The senior brother he was talking about was Zhu Xuemin, a Different Society disciple who was a bit older than him.

"Didn't I come to see the big star?"

Zhu Xuemin smiled and patted his junior brother's shoulder, "I heard you've been living a good life recently. There are several confidantes of different ages in a team, fighting over you every day, attracting enthusiastic onlookers and creating various fan art? Hmm?"

"Senior Brother, please don't make fun of me."

Ju Tianfu blushed and waved his hand: "I and they belong to different camps, and we have a pure comrade relationship.

Those rumors outside are all hype and publicity."

"Hehe, I believe you."

Zhu Xuemin grinned, not dwelling on the issue—he actually knew the truth.

"By the way, this is for you."

Zhu Xuemin flipped his hand and took out a wooden seal, throwing it to Ju Tianfu, "You are the representative of the Different Society participating in the Gate of Worlds battle, so the master of the frontline scientific expedition team asked me to hand this over to you.

The transfer procedure has been approved by the bureau, so you can use it directly."

"Oh, oh."

Ju Tianfu took the seal, glanced at the special effects of the equipment, his eyes lit up, and he immediately put it away, "The sect is still the best! I will definitely live up to the organization's expectations!"

"Alright, alright."

Zhu Xuemin waved his hand and casually asked, "How's the collection of the power of faith going?"

"It's already full."

Ju Tianfu's expression became solemn, and he said seriously, "The research results of the masters and uncles are correct. Becoming an idol worldwide and receiving worship can indeed quickly collect the power of faith.

After refining with the magic weapon left by the sages, this power of faith can be transformed into divine power with extremely high efficiency.

This divine fragment obtained from the Demon Imprisonment Cave,

Although it belongs to the Winter God Xuan Ming and is extremely noble,

But it is still restricted in some way, like the other divine fragments we obtained from the scenario missions.

Even if the divine power is full, it cannot spontaneously ignite the divine fire—this may be related to the special nature of this Killing Game."

"Yes."

Zhu Xuemin nodded slowly. The reason why the Different Society sent Ju Tianfu to the Global Supernatural Alliance was because Ju Tianfu possessed the divinity fragment of Xuan Ming and could enhance his strength by collecting the faith of fans (that is, believers).

The ambiguous hype with girls from other countries and regions in the Global Supernatural Alliance is also a forced business,

Just the organization's mission.

"I believe that players in the Earth Killing Game at this stage, if they want to advance from a divine creature to a demigod, it is not enough to have divinity, believers, and land. They must make some more radical attempts."

A solemnity that was completely inconsistent with his age appeared on Ju Tianfu's face, "For example, merging more divinity of the same attribute.

If the quality is not enough, make up for it with quantity.

For this reason, it is even necessary to, hunt down demigods."
