Virginie’s methods! The trump card of the SUN Guild!

"Jeon Yobong, one of the Moon Goddess Cult's highest-ranking missionaries."

"Moon Goddess Cult…"

"It's a recent organization in the Great Han Country, formed by a group of fanatical devotees of the 'Moon Goddess.' Its doctrine is eternal loyalty to the 'Moon Goddess' and the elimination of anyone who defies her commands."

Qin Feng had already used a transnational teleportation array to teleport to the Axe Mountain Ruins in the Great Han Country.

As he moved towards the coordinates Virginie had sent him, he also checked the message she had sent.

The Moon Goddess mentioned here was naturally Virginie.

Currently, Virginie held immense prestige in the Great Han Country, and the Moon Goddess Cult was backed by her, though she remained entirely behind the scenes.

As for the public face of the Moon Goddess Cult, it was managed by a group of high-ranking missionaries subjugated by Virginie.

There were over forty of these missionaries, both male and female, each a desperate powerhouse from the Great Han Country, saved by Virginie and sworn to loyalty.

Among them was 'Jeon Yobong'.

Before the God Forsaken Game descended, this person was arrested for selling drugs… When the God Forsaken Game arrived, he was still serving his sentence.

But not long after, Jeon Yobong rose to prominence in the God Forsaken Game, extracting attributes and equipment into reality!

Although he was a Priest, he was a violent, physical-oriented Priest, whose strength was so great that he punched open the prison gate and escaped…

He thought he was free as a bird.

However, the official Great Han Country was not to be trifled with; after his escape, they dispatched special task forces to relentlessly pursue him…

Once, a special task force cornered him near an Epic BOSS, and he was about to perish at the BOSS's hands. At the critical moment, Virginie appeared, using a Moonlight Shield to block the damage and rescue him!

The official Great Han Country was very unwilling…

But there was nothing they could do.

Because, in the current situation, Virginie's prestige in the Great Han Country had far surpassed that of the official Great Han Country!

After that.

Jeon Yobong wholeheartedly obeyed Virginie's commands.

This wasn't because he was grateful, but because…

Virginie held his life and Death in her hands at all times!

Someone who had committed such 'great deeds' cherished their life like a treasure, so naturally, they wouldn't betray Virginie and give up their life…

What's more, Virginie now genuinely possessed combat power far exceeding that of Great Han Country players.

Who would dare openly resist?

Of course!

No one resisted openly, but there were always those who did so in secret…

Thus, the scene within Qin Feng's perception unfolded—thirteen guilds in the Axe Mountain Ruins, nearly a thousand people in total, were gathered here by a message!

"These thirteen guilds all, openly and secretly, disobeyed Virginie…"

Qin Feng's Original Shadow Perception had already covered an area over two hundred kilometers away.

And behind him, his Death Wings flapped rapidly, carrying him forward at over ten times the speed of sound!

Qin Feng would arrive at the scene in about one minute.

His Original Shadow Perception could now allow him to perceive situations over a thousand kilometers away, provided his focus was concentrated; otherwise, the massive amount of information from such a large range of perception could instantly cause Qin Feng's brain to lose its ability to think…

"It seems that such a large skill range still has some negative effects if the spirit attribute can't keep up!"

Qin Feng sighed.

At this moment, the nearly thousand players he sensed were all guild players from the Axe Mountain Ruins, ranging from Level 20-25. It was clear they were considered elites.

This time, these thirteen guilds had all come out because they were 'deceived' by Virginie's message, preparing to be wiped out!

According to Virginie, these thirteen guilds refused to pay 'protection fees' and secretly spread rumors detrimental to her.

"Since that's the case, wiping them all out is good."

"Moreover, Virginie possesses an Order effect that can Silence everyone within an 18-kilometer radius…"

"Once Order is activated, they will be unable to speak or use private messages with friends!"

"When they die here, Virginie can attribute their Deaths to attacking a Diamond-Level Bloodline monster, the Abyssal Lone Wolf…"

It must be said, Virginie's methods were indeed ruthless.

Qin Feng knew that this 'mother' was no soft touch.

While she had deep love for her children, she was truly merciless towards enemies…

Even back in the Jiaoyang Civilization, Virginie was never a soft-hearted individual, which was one of the reasons Qin Feng had her come and take control of the Great Han Country.

If she truly had a saintly personality, how could she control a country?

And since Virginie was doing this, she naturally had confidence.

She was already a powerhouse about to go to the Order Land, possessing seven or eight types of Order.

Besides the 'Silence' Order…

She also possessed the 'Nameless' Order and the 'Hand of Revival' Order!

The former allowed her to kill people without system notifications, thus hiding her identity… Of course, if she was witnessed, there was nothing to be done.

The latter, on the other hand, could revive people on the spot after killing them…

Continuously killing and reviving people until all their lifespan was extracted could completely kill the target in the game!

…

Just as Qin Feng was about one minute away from arriving at the scene…

In this dense forest of mountains, the thirteen gathered guild members, from guild leaders to ordinary members, all realized something was wrong.

They saw…

The missionary Jeon Yobong, dressed in a priest's robe, bathed in moonlight, slowly walked out, a faint smile on his face.

At this very moment…

Someone in the crowd sensed the scent of a conspiracy.

"Xi ba! Something's wrong! This missionary isn't really connected to the Moon Goddess, is he?"

"How could that be? Doesn't the Moon Goddess always stay out of these matters?"

"Yeah, wasn't the Moon Goddess Cult formed spontaneously by fanatical believers?"

"Could it be that the Moon Goddess is behind it…"

"Bah! What Moon Goddess, she's just a cheap NPC!"

"I said long ago her motives weren't pure, so I never planned to cooperate with her…"

…

It can only be said that there were still some clear-headed people in the Great Han Country.

But unfortunately, the clear-headed ones were a minority.

And now, these clear-headed people were about to face disaster…

When they realized what was happening and tried to spread the news, they discovered that they had all been 'silenced' by an Order!

They couldn't send private messages to friends!

They couldn't make any sound!

They couldn't log out!

"It's over…"

They realized that this whole affair was a complete scam.

Immediately, some reacted by fleeing in all directions…

However, before they could scatter.

A curtain of moonlight instantly descended from the sky, enveloping the group and completely sealing off the surrounding three-kilometer area, preventing the nearly thousand people from escaping!

Virginie's Moonlight Cage easily completed the lockdown of nearly a thousand people!

It should be known that before her exile, Virginie had slaughtered nearly a hundred thousand orcs of the Jiaoyang Civilization, using this very Moonlight Cage to prevent their escape…

Now, what were these thousand Axe Mountain guild players in Virginie's eyes?

And when Virginie had imprisoned those thousand people within this three-kilometer radius.

The missionary Jeon Yobong, dressed in a priest's robe, frowned.

"Moon Goddess, do you really intend to kill these people?"

He murmured, "Of course, these people not only disobey you but also privately slander and spread anti-you rhetoric; they all deserve to die! But if you personally act, it might severely impact your prestige…"

He knew the people of the Great Han Country.

Virginie currently still enjoyed the respect and worship of the vast majority because she did not involve herself in most of the players' affairs.

If she personally killed nearly a thousand people…

That would surely provoke a huge backlash!

Furthermore…

Jeon Yobong was even more puzzled: what was the point of just killing these people once?

They could be silenced now, but after they revived, wouldn't they still be able to spread the news?

However, Virginie did not answer Jeon Yobong's question.

[part:gemini-3.0-flash]

She, wrapped in her Moon-white mage robe and enveloped by a Moonlight Shield, slowly walked out of the forest.

Looking at the nearly one thousand players trapped within the Moonlight Cage, all of whom had begun attacking the cage, Virginie's face was calm, completely devoid of expression.

"They are obstacles; they must be eradicated…"

Virginie scanned the area ahead coldly, looking at the imprisoned players.

Currently, she was neither in a player status nor an NPC status…

Therefore, there was no such thing as a 'slaughter value'!

Killing as she pleased wouldn't cause any issues.

As Virginie raised her hand, streaks of Moonlight Blades instantly rained down from the sky…

Her attacks not only dealt damage high enough to instantly kill those players, but more importantly, they carried three affixes: 'Whispers', 'Nightmare', and 'Chaos'!

Dying while under the state of these three control-type superior meters meant that during the resurrection period, one could not log out.

Before acting, Virginie had already blocked all of these players' escape routes!

Furthermore…

Under the Order effect of Virginie's 'Hand of Revival', these players would all resurrect on the spot just three seconds after dying!

The players from the Great Han Country who resurrected on the spot looked at each other in dismay.

They were silenced and unable to speak.

They were unable to flee this area.

Deadly moonlight poured down from the sky once again like a torrential rain…

Such a desperate situation was enough to make everyone present despair!

The lifespan on their bodies exploded again and again, and the entire field was piled high with lifespan light orbs…

Nearly one thousand players were killed over and over again amidst Silence and stillness.

Soon, players with low lifespan reserves did not resurrect after being killed…

But during this process, Virginie also quickly frowned.

Because she saw that there were more than a dozen players on the field whose lifespan had already dropped to zero, yet they hadn't truly died; instead, they continued to resurrect on the spot incessantly!

These dozen or so players included both men and women.

Clearly, their life souls had been taken by a 'Soul Reaper', so they wouldn't die even without lifespan!

They all looked coldly at Virginie, who was killing people non-stop outside the Moonlight Cage. If looks could kill, Virginie would have died dozens of times already…

"As expected, this so-called Moon Goddess is just a bitch! Shibal!"

"Fortunately, our life souls are protected by the Soul Reaper. No matter how many times we're killed, we won't die!"

"That's right. Senior Soul Reaper can sense our status and will definitely send people over as quickly as possible to check the situation…"

"When that happens, this woman's true face will be exposed!"

"And didn't the SUN Guild say they had some kind of trump card? Why haven't they brought it out yet?"

These dozen or so people were all high-level members of the major guilds on the field.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to be 'protected' by the Soul Reaper.

Although they couldn't speak, they were all thinking frantically…

They couldn't resolve the current situation at all because the gap in combat power between them and Virginie was too large.

However, the SUN Guild was said to have a trump card!

In fact, the thirteen guilds present all had a cooperative relationship with the Great Han Country official.

And the Great Han Country official naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Virginie's power grow stronger by the day…

On the surface, the Great Han Country official also maintained cooperation with Virginie, sometimes paying lifespan to invite her to help kill BOSSes.

But behind the scenes, one faction of the Great Han Country official also supported many guilds, ready to deal with Virginie at any time.

As for the other faction…

They had decided to fully support Virginie, helping her defeat 'Shadow' in the future…

The opposition between the two major factions led to the current internal conflicts within the Great Han Country official.

So for now, Virginie would not announce the fact that 'Shadow' was behind her. Otherwise, not only would the Great Han Country official go all out against her, but even the citizens of the Great Han Country would boycott her.

Although she wasn't afraid, her plan to collect lifespan would be greatly hindered…

This was something she absolutely would not allow to happen!

After all, she knew very well that her mission in the Great Han Country was to collect lifespan for 'Shadow'!

And the key reason she wanted to take out these thirteen guilds today was… she sensed a threat!

That's right.

She had received news that the SUN Guild had some kind of trump card that could be used in a guild crisis; once used, it could even kill her…

Although she didn't know if this news was true, she would rather believe it and decided to strike first!

At this moment!

Inside the Moonlight Cage!

Player after player was killed by Moonlight Blades over and over again.

On the field, many guild executives had quite a bit of lifespan, so they could hold out for a relatively long time…

Before long, many executives all turned their gazes toward a young man wearing glasses!

That young man was the leader of the SUN Guild, 'Kim Shi-woo', known as 'Representative Kim'. Before the God Forsaken Game arrived, he was one of the decision-makers for a Great Han Country official enterprise.

Within just half a minute, Kim Shi-woo had been killed by Moonlight Blades seven times. No matter what defensive measures he used, he couldn't block the damage from the Moonlight Blades falling from the sky!

If it weren't for the fact that every time he resurrected, his Whispers, Nightmare, and Chaos meters would reset and restart their calculations, he would have already fallen into a state of chaotic insanity…

But the more times he died, the more frenzied the look in his eyes behind his glasses became!

He looked around, seeing more and more guild executives looking at him, and he sneered disdainfully…

If he hadn't been silenced and unable to speak, he would have definitely cursed those guys out.

"It's not time yet…"

"Shibal… To fuck up this bitch, it's not that easy…"

"What's everyone in such a hurry for?"

"To ensure this bitch is taken down, we must wait until there are the most corpses on the ground…"

"Wait until everyone else's lifespan has exploded and they're all dead!"

"That will be the peak number of corpses on the ground!"

"Altogether… there will probably be ten thousand corpses, right?"

Under normal circumstances, player corpses disappear after five minutes, and if a player dies again after resurrecting, the new corpse replaces the old one…

But this SUN Guild leader, 'Kim Shi-woo', was carrying a large amount of 'Corpse-Preserving Powder'!

This item was a product created by the Hidden Class 'Anatomist', which could keep player corpses in existence without disappearing!

The Anatomist class wasn't too rare; Qin Feng had encountered one in Sakura Country before, though that person had little presence in Qin Feng's eyes…

"The more corpses there are, the stronger that senior becomes…"

"In our guild, the number of Deaths has already exceeded 200 in a short time. We could have summoned that senior for 'self-defense' long ago, but it's not enough, not enough…"

"Wait until ten thousand corpses have accumulated here!"

"It's hard to imagine… when that NPC senior arrives upon being summoned, how powerful will they become?"

"Never mind this bitch NPC, even if Shadow comes, he'll still have to die!!"

Kim Shi-woo's expression was somewhat frenzied.

He felt like he was creating history.

As for his guild members whose lifespans were exploding one by one as they died completely, he didn't care at all… anyway, he was protected by the Soul Reaper, so he wouldn't die even if his lifespan exploded.

So he pursued the limit!

To ensure that the NPC summoned to his side in the guild's moment of crisis could kill Virginie!

That NPC was a self-defense NPC who could only take action for 'self-defense' when the guild suffered heavy losses, attacking any opponent who had attacked guild members.

Originally, Kim Shi-woo and some high-ranking officials of the Great Han Country official were secretly discussing whether to stage a play to lure Virginie into a trap.

"What's there to lure?"

"This time… is the best opportunity!"

"However, could our plan have been discovered by this bitch? Otherwise, why would she suddenly strike at us…"

Kim Shi-woo had a cold face.

He didn't bother to think too much; in his eyes, the 'Moon Goddess' before him was already a dead person!
