Tak lama setelah Shi Feng menerbangkan Kapal Terbang Naga Merah menjauh dari Pulau Starfall, para anggota berbagai kekuatan besar dengan panik mulai melapor kepada atasan mereka. Pada titik ini, tidak ada dari mereka yang memedulikan keputusan Aliansi Kebebasan untuk mengevaluasi ulang mitra mereka. Bagaimanapun juga, kemunculan kapal terbang menandai dimulainya era baru! "Guild Leader, tebak apa yang baru saja kulihat di Pulau Starfall?" "Kapal terbang! Seseorang sudah mendapatkan kapal terbang!" "Apa? Tidak percaya? Aku akan mengirimimu video! Kau akan tahu setelah melihatnya! Kapal terbang itu luar biasa!" Kegembiraan menyebar di antara pemain independen dan anggota berbagai kekuatan di Pulau Starfall saat mereka mendiskusikan Kapal Terbang Naga Merah. Ketika para petinggi berbagai kekuatan menerima laporan, mereka kehilangan akal. Sejauh ini, mereka hanya mengetahui satu Tungangan Terbang yang dimiliki pemain saat ini, apalagi kapal terbang. Bagaimana bisa seseorang sudah mendapatkan kapal terbang? Namun, ketika para petinggi ini melihat klip video dari bawahan mereka, mereka benar-benar tercengang. Gairah! Iri hati! Keserakahan! Emosi-emosi ini membanjiri para petinggi berbagai kekuatan besar saat mereka menonton rekaman Kapal Terbang Naga Merah. Hampir seketika, mereka memerintahkan investigasi menyeluruh terhadap Zero Wing. Mereka semua bertekad untuk mengetahui bagaimana Zero Wing mendapatkan kapal terbang itu. Beberapa kekuatan bahkan menawarkan hadiah beberapa Senjata dan Equipment Epic untuk informasi apa pun terkait kapal tersebut di forum publik. Ketika Shi Feng melihat postingan-postingan itu, hadiahnya bahkan menggoda dirinya, dan sesaat, dia bahkan mempertimbangkan untuk menjual informasinya sendiri. Sementara kekuatan-kekuatan besar ini menyelidiki Zero Wing dan Kapal Terbang Naga Merah mereka, kelompok Shi Feng mencapai Laut Chaos yang luas. Laut Chaos adalah wilayah kekuatan kegelapan, dan zona laut itu adalah kekacauan energi yang kacau dan liar, yang berbahaya bagi kondisi mental pemain normal. Itu tidak akan mempengaruhi Pemain Kegelapan, namun. Sebaliknya, itu akan memperkuat mereka, itulah sebabnya pemain normal cenderung menghindari area tersebut. Sebagai zona laut, Laut Chaos adalah tempat yang berbahaya untuk grinding. Begitu pemain musuh mengepung pendatang baru, tidak akan ada tempat untuk berlindung. Laut Chaos adalah tanah terlarang bagi pemain normal. Begitu Kapal Terbang Naga Merah melintasi Laut Chaos, Sinned Heart dan rekan-rekannya merasakan beban yang tak terlukiskan menekan mereka. Indra mereka menjadi kurang sensitif, juga, yang membuat mustahil untuk menunjukkan kekuatan tempur normal mereka. "Jadi, ini Laut Chaos?" Sinned Heart merasa lega karena berada di dalam Kapal Terbang Naga Merah saat dia menatap lapisan tipis kabut yang menutupi lautan di bawah. Laut Chaos jauh lebih berbahaya dari yang dia kira. Kabut tipis yang menutupi air itu bukanlah kabut asli; itu adalah manifestasi fisik dari semacam energi kacau. Energi kacau ini memiliki pengaruh kuat pada pemain normal. Saat dikelilingi kabut, dia bisa, paling banyak, melihat hingga 1.000 yard. Namun, itu tidak akan mempengaruhi Pemain Kegelapan sedikit pun. Dengan kata lain, Pemain Kegelapan akan menemukan pemain normal di Laut Chaos jauh sebelum pemain normal bisa menyadari bahwa mereka menjadi sasaran. Pemain Kegelapan akan memiliki inisiatif dalam pertempuran, dan pemain normal tidak akan punya cara untuk melarikan diri. Setelah beberapa menit, Sinned Heart dan yang lainnya memperhatikan sekelompok pemain yang mengeroyok monster laut peringkat Mythic Level 93. Setiap pemain itu menunggangi Makhluk Iblis setinggi delapan meter ke dalam pertempuran. Pemain telah menjuluki Makhluk Iblis ini 'monster laut mini'. Makhluk Iblis itu sangat kuat, dengan yang terlemah di antara mereka memiliki kekuatan seorang lord. Makhluk yang lebih kuat bahkan bisa menyaingi kekuatan Great Lord. Mereka jauh lebih kuat daripada Land Mount. Sementara itu, dibombardir oleh serangan ganas dari beberapa ratus Makhluk Iblis, monster laut Mythic Level 93 dengan cepat kehilangan HP. Makhluk Iblis Oceania mungkin tidak memiliki Kekuatan Serangan sebanyak kapal sungguhan, tetapi mereka jauh lebih mobile. Selain itu, mereka dapat dengan mudah menahan serangan monster laut Mythic dengan HP tinggi dan armor buatan pemain. Hanya masalah waktu sebelum monster laut Mythic Level 93 jatuh. "Mereka melihat ke arah sini! Mereka menemukan kita!" "Untungnya, kita terbang. Jika kita berlayar, mereka mungkin akan memusnahkan kita." Anggota Immortal Light merasakan tekanan luar biasa menekan mereka saat mereka menyaksikan Pemain Kegelapan di bawah. Bahkan pemain berlevel terendah di antara Pemain Kegelapan itu adalah Level 95, dan mereka semua memancarkan aura sekuat Great Lord dari level yang sama. Jika beberapa ratus Pemain Kegelapan ini menyerang dengan Makhluk Iblis mereka, mereka mungkin bisa menghancurkan seluruh armada elit. Sementara itu, tim gelap yang tak terhitung jumlahnya dengan kaliber mereka memenuhi Laut Chaos. Hanya memikirkan berlayar melewati semua pemain itu membuat kulit kepala mereka merinding. Untungnya, anggota Immortal Light menunggangi kapal terbang Zero Wing. Bahkan jika Pemain Kegelapan itu telah memperhatikan mereka, mereka tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa. Pemain Kegelapan hanya bisa menatap saat mereka terbang menjauh. Pemain Kegelapan yang bertarung melawan monster laut Mythic bahkan lebih terkejut daripada pemain Immortal Light. "Kapal terbang? Apa yang terjadi?" "Kupikir hanya satu pemain di God's Domain yang telah menemukan Tungangan Terbang sejauh ini? Bagaimana seseorang sudah punya kapal terbang?" "Mereka tidak di sini untuk mencuri kill, kan?" Pemain Kegelapan dengan gugup menyaksikan raksasa baja terbang melintasi langit. Mereka semua takut pilot kapal itu mengincar tim mereka. Tim mereka telah berusaha keras untuk menemukan monster laut Mythic ini, dan mereka mengandalkannya untuk meningkatkan kekuatan tempur keseluruhan mereka sehingga mereka bisa bersaing untuk tempat berburu yang lebih baik nanti. Jika kapal terbang itu memutuskan untuk mencuri kill, mereka hanya bisa menangis saat menyaksikan orang lain mengklaim mangsa mereka. Tidak ada dari mereka yang takut bertarung, tetapi pertempuran hanya layak dilakukan jika mereka punya peluang. Kapal terbang adalah senjata perang dan penguasa langit. Kekuatan tempurnya berada pada level yang sama sekali berbeda. Makhluk Iblis mereka tidak akan banyak membantu, juga. Makhluk Iblis cukup mobile, tetapi mereka memiliki sangat sedikit serangan jarak jauh. Jika Kapal Terbang Naga Merah berhenti empat atau lima ratus meter di atas mereka dan membombardir tim dari sana, mereka tidak akan punya cara untuk membalas. Saat Kapal Terbang Naga Merah melayang menjauh dari pandangan, Pemain Kegelapan menghela nafas lega dan melanjutkan raid mereka pada monster laut Mythic Level 93 dengan tenang. Laut Chaos cukup besar sehingga bisa menampung beberapa kekaisaran berbasis darat. Bahkan Perahu Layar Bronze membutuhkan lebih dari satu hari untuk melakukan perjalanan dari Pulau Starfall ke Kota Ghost. Namun, Kapal Terbang Naga Merah bisa menyelesaikan perjalanan dalam beberapa jam. Saat kota itu terlihat, Sinned Heart merasa seolah-olah dia sedang bermimpi.
Chapter 2334 - Awal Era Baru
Chapter 2334 – Start of a New Era
Shortly after Shi Feng piloted the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship away from Starfall Island, the various major powers’ members frantically began to report to their superiors.
At this point, none of them paid any mind to the Freedom Alliance’s decision to reevaluate its partners.
After all, the appearance of a flying ship represented the start of a new era!
“Guild Leader, guess what I just saw on Starfall Island?”
“A flying ship! Someone already obtained a flying ship!”
“What? Don’t believe me? I’ll send you a video of it! You’ll know once you see it! That flying ship is amazing!”
Excitement sparked among the independent players and various powers’ members on Starfall Island as they discussed the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship.
When the various powers’ upper echelons received the reports, they lost their minds.
Thus far, they only knew of one Flying Mount in a player’s possession right now, let alone a flying ship. How could someone have already obtained a flying ship?
However, when these upper echelons saw the video clips from their subordinates, they were utterly dumbfounded. Passion!
Envy!
Greed!
These emotions overwhelmed the various major powers’ upper echelons as they watched the recordings of the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship. Almost immediately, they ordered all-out investigations on Zero Wing. They were all determined to learn how Zero Wing had gotten its hands on the flying ship. Some powers even offered a reward of several Epic Weapons and Equipment for any information related to the vessel on the public forums. When Shi Feng saw the posts, the rewards even tempted him, and for a moment, he even considered selling the information himself.
While these major powers looked into Zero Wing and its Crimson Dragon Flying Ship, Shi Feng’s group reached the expansive Chaos Sea.
The Chaos Sea was the dark forces’ territory, and the sea zone was a mess of chaotic and violent energy, which was harmful to normal players’ mental states. It wouldn’t affect Dark Players, however. Rather, it would strengthen them, which was why normal players tended to avoid the area.
As a sea zone, the Chaos Sea was a dangerous place to grind. Once enemy players surrounded newcomers, there’d be nowhere to run for cover. The Chaos Sea was a forbidden land for normal players.
The instant the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship crossed into the Chaos Sea, Sinned Heart and his companions felt an indescribable weight bear down on them. Their senses became less sensitive, as well, which made it impossible to exhibit their normal combat power.
“So, this is the Chaos Sea?” Sinned Heart was relieved he was aboard the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship as he gazed at the thin layer of fog that covered the ocean below.
The Chaos Sea was far more dangerous than he had expected.
The thin fog that covered the water wasn’t actual fog; it was the physical manifestation of some kind of chaotic energy. This chaotic energy had a powerful influence on normal players. While surrounded by the fog, he could, at most, see up to 1,000 yards away. However, it wouldn’t affect Dark Players in the slightest.
In other words, Dark Players would discover normal players in the Chaos Sea long before normal players could realize they were being targeted. The Dark Players would have the initiative in battle, and normal players would have no way to escape.
After a few minutes, Sinned Heart and the others noticed a group of players ganging up on a Level 93 Mythic ranked sea monster. Every one of those players rode an eight-meter-tall Demonic Creature into battle.
Players had nicknamed these Demonic Creatures ‘mini sea monsters.’ The Demonic Creatures were incredibly powerful, with the weakest among them possessing the strength of a lord. The stronger creatures could even rival a Great Lord’s strength. They were far more powerful than Land Mounts.
Meanwhile, bombarded by the fierce attacks of several hundred Demonic Creatures, the Level 93 Mythic sea monster rapidly lost HP.
Oceania Demonic Creatures might not have as much Attack Power as an actual ship, but they were easily more mobile. Moreover, they could easily tank a Mythic sea monster’s attacks with their high HPs and player-made armor. It was only a matter of time before the Level 93 Mythic sea monster fell.
“They’re looking this way! They’ve discovered us!”
“Thankfully, we’re flying. If we were sailing, they’d likely annihilate us.”
Immortal Light’s members felt an immense pressure bear down on them as they watched the Dark Players below. Even the lowest-leveled player among those Dark Players was Level 95, and they all radiated auras that were as strong as Great Lords’ of the same level.
If these several hundred Dark Players attacked with their Demonic Creatures, they could likely decimate an entire expert fleet. Meanwhile, countless dark teams of their caliber filled the Chaos Sea. Just the thought of sailing through all of those players made their scalps tingle.
Fortunately, Immortal Light’s members rode Zero Wing’s flying ship. Even if those Dark Players had noticed them, they couldn’t do anything about it. The Dark Players could only stare as they flew away.
The Dark Players fighting the Mythic sea monster were even more shocked than Immortal Light’s players.
“A flying ship? What’s going on?”
“I thought only one player in God’s Domain has found a Flying Mount thus far? How does someone already have a flying ship?”
“They’re not here to kill-steal, are they?”
The Dark Players nervously watched the steel giant fly across the sky. They were all afraid that the vessel’s pilot had set their sights on their team.
Their team had gone to great lengths to locate this Mythic sea monster, and they were banking on it to elevate their overall combat power so they could contest for better hunting grounds later. If that flying ship decided to steal the kill, they’d only be able to cry as they watched someone else claim their prey.
None of them were afraid of a fight, but a battle was only worth fighting if they had a chance.
A flying ship was a war weapon and an overlord of the sky. Its combat power was on an entirely different level.
Their Demonic Creatures wouldn’t be much help, either. Demonic Creatures were quite mobile, but they had very few long-range attacks. If the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship stopped four or five hundred meters above them and bombarded the team from there, they wouldn’t have any means to retaliate.
As the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship drifted out of sight, the Dark Players breathed a sigh of relief and continued their raid on the Level 93 Mythic sea monster with peace of mind.
The Chaos Sea was large enough that it could contain multiple land-based empires. Even a Bronze Sailboat would need more than a day to travel from Starfall Island to Ghost City. However, the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship could complete the journey in several hours.
As the city came into sight, Sinned Heart felt as if he were dreaming.
