Chapter 132: Upheaval of the Community (2)
Chapter 132: Upheaval of the Community (2)World was one of the places most influenced by the Community.
“Hey, did you hear?”
“Hm? About what?”
“Word is they’re gonna create a new legion based on rankings.”
“Legion? But it doesn’t seem like they’re not recruiting that many...”
Calling it a legion despite recruiting only a few people seemed a bit excessive. However...
“They’re just starting it now, but apparently they’ll regularly select Rankers in the future.”
“As long you get selected... I heard you can receive full support from the Galactic Empire.”
One of the most popular systems in World was the Ranking System. It was a stage to prove superiority against strong opponents gathered from all dimensions.
The strongest individuals from various places who needed worthy opponents could not help being excited by this structure. Moreover, injuries from ranking battles could be healed at any time, provided they were not fatal.
Users seeking real combat experience could go to World’s battlefield, gain necessary experience, and even receive enhancement treatments with Merit Points. In case they lacked knowledge or training, they could study abroad in the Community’s Archive and Xianxia world, and even obtain elixirs with leftover Merit Points.
It was practically laying out a playground for them to run wild as they pleased.
-What the heck is Oradge plotting?
-Why is he so desperate to make the users grow?
These questions had been circulating ever since World launched three years ago. But with the recent creation of the legion, some began to piece it together.
“Dimensional invasion...”
“...Right. Or dimensional war, I guess.”
“...”
An army is organized for war. To attack, or to prepare against attacks. Given the ridiculous power of the Galactic Empire and Oradge, it was not an unreasonable guess. Especially when looking at Oradge’s major policies, everything seemed to be converging toward one answer.
Dimensional conquest...?
Some Community users were detecting the brewing clouds of a dimensional-scale war.
At one point, the Community was wary of Oradge’s absurd abilities.
ᄂtf can’t Oradge do?
ᄂbet the whole community gon b swallowed up at this rate?
ᄂhis country name has empire in it to begin with....
ᄂcolonial plunder might start soon.
ᄂawawa....
But public opinion about Oradge was not entirely negative.
ᄂoradge already has everything... why would he invade?
ᄂit’s the haves who are usually greedier. u don kno shet bruh
ᄂEven if that’s the case, looking back at Oradge’s actions, he wouldn’t just exploit. He’d probably give more if anything.
ᄂif he comes, i’m ready to welcome him with my panties off
ᄂLONG LIVE GrEAT GALACTIC EMPIRE! LONG LIVE EMPEROR!
ᄂPraise be to Oradge!
ᄂO-men.
ᄂO-men....
Now, most Community users knew there were numerous forces beyond their own dimensional army.
《Chaos》《Sephiroth》
And recently, Orange had revealed 《Three Thousand》, the Xianxia world.
ᄂKaiju are incomparable to normal monsters yo
ᄂthey a fckin zerg swarm too
ᄂmaybe they’re dimensional-scale monsters?
ᄂLast time I saw a broadcast, there were even intelligent Kaiju.
ᄂWhat about the Sephiroth?
ᄂonly Oradge can beat em so easily
ᄂI saw rankers struggle too...
ᄂcan’t even imagine what Three Thousand is like.
ᄂjus think of them as batshit crazy bishes
These beings showed unconditional hostility toward humanity. Of course, the Community included various races besides humans—dragons, elves, dwarves, etcetera—but they were all in the same boat.
They say unity is achieved before a common enemy. A peculiar sentiment began forming among Community users to band together.
ᄂ(I’mThePirateKing): yo! aint we all men here eh?!
ᄂwhy’s dis guy suddenly acting up outta nowhere
ᄂ(I’mThePirateKing): huh? are you guys gonna sit still after being disrespected like this? if ur a man, u should know when to stand up!
ᄂmust be crazy...
ᄂAttention seeker. Ignore the tard.
ᄂwanna be secret friends with uncle?
ᄂperma ban ciao.
ᄂSRRY! BLUADGE! ORADGE! I RELLY DIDN MEN IT THAT WAY! I HONESTLY WANTED TO BE FRENS SHARING SECRETS...
ᄂsmh
ᄂyeah bai.
-Ehh? Kiddy stretches?
Perpe was even one of the more expressive ones.
Meanwhile, Full Metal Wardragon Yongyong, recently demoted to 3rd place, was drinking the bitter cup of defeat.
-GAAAH! WHY!
-Hehe....
He was obliterated by Perpe... who swung her great sword carelessly.
ᄂSMH. he been wasting merit points on tuning to look cool and now this
ᄂExactly. Our boy Yongyong’s lost his touch.
ᄂyongyong. can u even be Oradge’s porter the way u r?
Nevertheless, he could not openly show jealousy toward a little girl.
Yongyong’s frustration grew day by day as he was bombarded by the Community. Recently, even his 3rd place was in danger, with Mephir the Ruler of Niflheim and Versya the Cyborg Warrior catching up terrifyingly fast.
-Hmm. I’d like to warm up a bit more.
-Mephir! I’ll keep you company!
Mephir, a battle maniac to an extreme degree, rose to 4th place by using all his Merit Points on physical enhancement treatments.
ᄂIsn’t this bro just... a maniac?
ᄂye he wuda become a demon lord if not for oradge.
ᄂikr. howd he suppress himself all this time?
ᄂAll-in on physical enhancement LOL doesn’t the merit point cost increase like mad as the level goes up?
ᄂikr. it’d be more efficient to receive various treatments, but he’s all-in on physical
ᄂhe a real alpha frfr.
And Hero Versya, close behind, was not to be underestimated either—and not just in training.
ᄂThere’s something about him that moves your heart when you watch.
ᄂmakes you want to cheer for him.
ᄂthe number of people getting cyborg treatments because of him has increased a lot.
ᄂikr. he he has his own charm unlike yongyong.
ᄂa hard worker for real.
ᄂi feel he has the least talent among the high rankers, but I’ve never seen him rest.
Having gained fan bases of their own, these individuals provided all kinds of entertainment to the Community users.
Especially on days like today.
[Full Metal Wardragon Yongyong VS Mephir the Ruler of Niflheim and Versya the Cyborg Warrior]
ᄂwho yall betting on?
ᄂI heard Yongyong has no equipment restrictions today, so wouldn’t it be him?
ᄂhe’s still a dragon. shouldn’t he at least keep 3rd place?
ᄂWon’t he get bulldozed?
ᄂwho knows. I heard he prepared a secret technique this time.
ᄂconsidering the tongue-lashing he got by Maxien noonim last time, it didn’t seem like much.
ᄂplus it’s 2:1 lolol the official theory is that Yongyong was so ashamed to lose 1:1 to the 4th place that he insisted on getting a 2:1
ᄂBut in exchange, Versya won’t use his Holy Sword, and Mephir will only use 50% of his Fighting Spirit.
ᄂthinking about it now, isn’t dis bish Yongyong a total pussy? he forces a 2:1 then puts on all these restrictions
ᄂI don’t think so? pretty sure Oradge put those limiters in place
ᄂOradge? Then that’s the right answer.
ᄂif Oradge says so, den we just have to agree
ᄂSimply light.
ᄂgodlike balance patch
ᄂapparently Oradge won’t take Yongyong to the battlefield if he loses this time, so bro’s uber serious
ᄂLook at that gaze. Looks like he could chew through stone.
ᄂlmao Yongyong. u not supposed to use Dragon Fear here!
For the Community users, it was all fun and games.
