God-level Hero

Duke Makar was evidently very pleased with Da Fei’s enthusiasm, stroking his beard and smiling: "First of all, it’s necessary to clarify an issue about these two gemstone mines. A thousand years ago, before the Solar Eclipse War, this gemstone mine was the territory of the Elf Kingdom, and its name at the time was Jade Gemstone Lake. But during the Solar Eclipse War, the collision of divine power caused some spaces of the World Tree to shift, and this gemstone mine is obviously one that shifted, possibly even leaving World Tree Space to become an unclaimed territory, meaning it no longer has a reason to belong to the Elf Kingdom."
Regarding the origin of the gemstone mine, Da Fei had also heard from Tachiusu, so he nodded repeatedly: "What the teacher says is right."
The Duke smiled and said, "However, the Elf Kingdom may not think so. They might demand to reclaim these two mines, claiming that the Jade Gemstone Lake has been their inherent territory since ancient times. At that time, unpleasant things could happen, damaging the unity of the Alliance. This is something we should avoid."
Da Fei chuckled: "Of course, of course, I have always remembered the teacher’s instruction and have not let the Elf Kingdom know, nor can Lionheart Empire know. Only you and I need to know."
The Duke nodded with satisfaction: "It’s not that I’m greedy for these two mere gemstone mines, but because I believe outstanding resources should be pooled together to nurture outstanding talent—"
Listening as he nodded, Da Fei secretly snickered to himself—mere gemstone mines, as if this is the end of it all, does he need to be so decked out before me?
Then the Duke’s tone shifted as he continued: "But on the other hand, this Blood Sea is not as simple as it looks, and I don’t want others to interfere. That is my true purpose!"
Da Fei asked in surprise: "The teacher’s true purpose?"
The Duke nodded: "Currently, the Spider Demon that invaded the gemstone mine is Nakasha, the Spider Demon Hero who failed to attack your territory and escaped out of guilt. Initially, I thought his escape had two purposes: one, hoping to discover something in the gemstone mine to report to the Demon King instead of submitting a blank report. The second was to prepare for the worst, really hiding out here. However, after thinking it over, I felt it wasn’t that simple, for it seemed to me his invasion had been long planned."
At this point, the Duke suddenly emphasized: "So, I looked through the archives of the Solar Eclipse War, and discovered a point of suspicion, that during the Solar Eclipse War, a God-level expert of the Spider Demon clan died in battle while attacking the World Tree. Many God-level experts died in those wars, of course. The Jade Lake turned into Blood Lake because of the Polluted Divine Power of those God-level experts’ flesh and blood—in short, I suspect Nakasha is trying to resurrect a God of the Spider Demon clan!"
Da Fei suddenly realized that this was the origin of Blood Lake! He asked in shock: "Are you suggesting that there’s a God of the Spider Demon clan in the gemstone mine?"
The Duke said solemnly: "The likelihood is very high!"
Da Fei asked again: "So my task is not just to occupy the mine?"
The Duke replied satisfactorily: "Correct, you have another task, which is to capture their God! Under normal circumstances, this would be nearly impossible, but newly resurrected Gods can indeed be captured. At that time, you reported finding the Eight-Headed Snake in the World Tree. Both to keep the gemstone mine secret, and as a test, I gave you a Time Hourglass to assess your power. You proved you do indeed have the capability to contend with God-level experts, so it’s very suitable to assign this task to you."
Holy cow! Capturing a God, how hardcore are you? Da Fei hurriedly asked: "What’s the purpose of capturing a God, teacher?"
The Duke laughed heartily: "Of course, to use it for our purposes! As mages, we act without many restrictions. And since you’re my student, you’ll certainly benefit as well. So, are you ready?"
Holy cow! I see, this task has such depth, no wonder it’s only available to players above level 50! Alright, let’s see your high-end capabilities!
Da Fei volunteered again: "Please assign the task, teacher, I’m ready."
Makar satisfactorily took out two brightly shining magic pearls: "These will be your tools for capturing the God!"
—System Prompt: You have accepted the task from Duke Makar to "Occupy the Blood Sea Gemstone Mine"! You have accepted the side task "Capture the Weak God"! You have acquired the Task Artifacts "Divine Detector," "Legion Transmission Pearl."
Divine Detector: Task Artifact, can only be used around World Tree Space, shows the position of Gods on radar and can absorb the Divine Soul of a defeated God into the detector for storage.
Legion Transmission Pearl: Task Artifact, can transport a unit with Command Value of 1000 to any known coordinate area within the Blood Sea Gemstone Mine and can return to town. This Task Artifact can only be used within the Blood Sea Gemstone Mine, with a limit of one round trip per day. Transporting Vice Heroes does not use Command Power.
...
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped in shock, Task Artifacts! One can only be used around the World, the other only within the gemstone mine, what a troublesome limitation!
Makar explained: "The difficulty in attacking the gemstone mine lies in not alerting the demigod Totos guarding the mine. So even if your ships have transmission and stealth functions, it’s best they don’t engage in battle. Don’t underestimate the power of Totos, a thousand years ago, many God-level experts were killed or wounded by it, and now the already insane Totos is even more incomprehensible. That’s why I’m only giving you a Legion Transmission Pearl with a Command Value of 1000. Try to streamline the battle scale. Furthermore, there’s a possibility that Nakasha’s power will grow after resurrecting the Spider Demon God, but I think you can handle that, since Nakasha has been defeated by you multiple times."
Da Fei nodded: "I see! I certainly won’t disappoint the teacher!"
Makar replied with satisfaction: "Alright, I’ll be waiting for your good news! Go quickly and return."
"Yes, teacher!"
Leaving the Duke’s study, Da Fei was deep in thought as he hurried on his way. Capturing a God is a shocking feat. If those dead and resurrected weak Gods in the World Tree can be captured, what about the Demon Gods of the two Dwarf Princes, is there a possibility of capturing them?
When speaking of Gods slain in the World Tree, Da Fei suddenly recalled the crow in the Mercury Mine, where did that crow go? Although driven off by a Dragon Slayer expert, it was still a God, and couldn’t be killed by a mortal player, could it? Could this Divine Detector potentially locate that Crow Demigod? Thinking this way, Da Fei’s interest suddenly surged.
Alright, once we get the gemstone mine sorted out, let’s head over to the Mercury Mine area to check it out. By the way, how’s the operation going in the mine area? I haven’t visited yet. How’s the construction of the Multi-headed Snake Fortress in Habbit Village? I need to find some time to check it out, I’m really busy!
When Da Fei walked out of the Duke Mansion, he suddenly noticed a crowd outside the gate, and several players with golden names in the crowd glittered brightly, blinding Da Fei like a dog. They were reporters!
The crowd exclaimed, "It’s Da Fei, Da Fei has come out!"
Those few with golden names immediately rushed over, "Brother Fei, I’m Little Bee from Hero News, can I take a bit of your time to interview you, Brother Fei?"
Oh man, truly reporters, always ambushing me like this, you guys are so dedicated!
Da Fei smiled kindly and said, "As long as it’s not an interview about national secrets, then there’s no problem!"
The reporter said excitedly, "Brother Fei, we heard that some high-end players from various old zones have triggered a national war mission to assist the Elf Kingdom in Japan Zone. Do you know about this?"
So this matter is no longer a secret, huh? Alright, since the reporters are openly asking, there’s no need for me to sneak around. I’ll use this opportunity to officially challenge the Japan Zone, let them all line up nicely so I can take them all out in one go.
Da Fei then gave a light smile, "Of course I know."
The reporter eagerly asked, "Will Brother Fei participate?"
Da Fei smiled benevolently and said, "Of course, it’s my duty! I’m currently busy with the task preparations, so I’m really swamped. If it’s convenient, I need to leave now."
Immediately, there was an uproar, "Brother Fei is going to take action!"
The reporter excitedly asked again, "Does Brother Fei have confidence to complete the national war mission?"
Da Fei chuckled, "Well, for me, whether the task succeeds or not, that’s not really important anymore. The key is to have fun."
The reporter pressed on, "What does having fun mean?"
Da Fei laughed heartily, "Having fun means having fun, this question is hard for me to answer clearly!"
At that moment, the players present burst into laughter, "Brother Fei, make sure to have a climax in Japan, all the way with full excitement!"
...
Meanwhile, at the Japan Mitsubishi Team, the news that Da Fei had returned to the city was immediately reported by Ono Shinichiro. The entire Mitsubishi Headquarters was tense!
Da Fei finally sailed back! Although the Japanese team members were loudly proclaiming they were absolutely not afraid, as professional players, they had already noticed Da Fei’s unfathomable strength from his performance in the European Union Zone. Once Da Fei starts causing a scene, the consequences could be disastrous.
At this critical moment, Igarashi urgently connected with Captain Fordson. The Japan Zone could only hope for strong players from the United States to come over and hold Da Fei back. Of course, holding him back was still secondary, what’s crucial is seeing if there’s a chance to directly trap Da Fei’s main combat forces.
And after careful consideration, Fordson finally decided to call the group of spirited young men and women from the American Zone: "Your new task has arrived!"
...
After shaking off the reporters, Da Fei finally returned to Radiant City to prepare for battle.
This time, there’s only a 1000 Command Value slot available, thinking about it carefully, it’s quite tricky. With 1000 Command Value, if I bring the Angel Army, I can’t bring many, and if I bring regular troops, they probably won’t make much impact. It’s quite a bothersome issue.
However, it seems I don’t have many regular troops either, so it’s entirely an elite route. But don’t worry, my two Contract Angels and Selvia’s Contract Angel don’t require Command Power.
Speaking of Selvia, Da Fei then remembered she’s still at the Elorin Shipyard running errands, and the last time she did, it took her a full day. Damn, with already few troops, not having healing is absolutely impossible!
So we’re just going to have to wait for her? Da Fei helplessly shook his head, there’s no other way, better go check out Habbit Village first.
