Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Inside and Out, Time to Act



"My lord, you have arrived! Please, follow me upstairs!" At that moment, a servant bowed deeply and led a twelve-winged angel toward the upper floor.

"Hmm?" The twelve-winged angel immediately noticed John and his group sitting by the window, his eyes widening in surprise and excitement.

"My lord, please wait. I'll have them removed right away," the servant noticed John's group as well and was about to step forward to escort them out.

"Enough," the angel interrupted coldly, raising a hand to stop the servant. "Leave these people. Clear the second floor for me."

As he spoke, he took out a dozen spirit cores and tossed them toward the servant.

"Yes, yes!" The servant's eyes lit up at the sight of the spirit cores. He quickly began ushering out the other guests, leaving only John and his companions behind.

John eyed the angel, recognizing him. He seemed familiar-he was one of the people who had been resisting The Heaven, and his name was likely Beamay.

As the last of the patrons were cleared out, John looked at the servant and ordered, "You can leave now. Don't disturb us."

"Yes, yes," the servant nodded, bowing again before quickly exiting.

"Godslayer! I've finally met you!" Beamay exclaimed with excitement, bowing deeply. It seemed that Ben had already received word of John's arrival.

John nodded, gesturing to the empty seat beside him. "Stand up. I remember you. You're Beamay from the Angel Race, right?"

"Yes, yes! The fact that you know me, my lord!" Beamay said, delighted, as he awkwardly sat down next to John.

Debbie, sitting nearby, was surprised. She could clearly sense the immense power of light from Beamay, much stronger than her own. If not for the seal on her powers, she would have guessed he was at least a six-star powerhouse.

She grew even more curious about John's true identity. If not for the seal, how powerful could The have been at his peak?

John then asked, "What's the situation in the city? How are Tony and the others?"

Beamay quickly replied, "The situation is not looking good. The powers of several of the leaders have been severely devoured by Devour, and it's already affecting their lives. Also, Quahog City's lord, Megatron, has noticed your movements, and has already sent for reinforcements from Forest City."

"Forest City?" John frowned. He already knew that Forest City was one of the seven great royal cities, and its lord, the King of the Forest, was a nine-star Awakened One. His strength was even greater than that of a Lord God.

If Forest City were to send reinforcements, the situation could become quite complicated.

He asked, "Do you know what level of experts Forest City will send? And approximately when will they arrive?"

Beamay shook his head. "The lord of Quahog City already suspects me, so I cannot gather any inside information."

"Looks like we'll need to act sooner," John muttered to himself. He was concerned that the arrival of Forest City's reinforcements would disrupt their plans.

He turned to Beamay and asked, "How many of our people are in The Heaven prison? And can you get your hands on any crystal spheres?"

Beamay responded, "Seventy-three people. Most of them are mid-tier gods or lower-tier gods. I can get you the crystal spheres. How many do you need, my lord?"

"Seventy-three. Get them to me as soon as possible." John decided that he would first help Tony and the others restore some of their powers of law, then rescue them and work with Ben to destroy Quahog City.

Without hesitation, Beamay took out seventy-three transparent crystal spheres from his Storage Ring.

John asked in surprise, "Aren't these things quite precious? How do you have so many?" Beamay awkwardly laughed and explained, "My responsibility is to collect the powers of law from The Heaven criminals every day. But don't worry, my lord. I haven't taken too much from our people."

John didn't mind and replied, "Give me all the extra crystal spheres you have."

"Yes, my lord." Beamay didn't hesitate and handed over his Storage Ring. Inside, there were over three thousand crystal spheres, many of which already contained the powers of law. John took one transparent crystal sphere and directly infused it with the four basic elemental laws-wind, fire, water, and earth-the powers of law from his own abilities.

Seeing this, Beamay grew worried. "My lord, devouring the powers of law with the crystal spheres is irreversible."

"Don't worry," John said, offering a simple explanation. "I've already transformed my body to absorb the four basic elements, so consuming these elements won't affect me in the slightest." He handed the crystal sphere, which had absorbed the four basic elements, to Spoorate and said, "Try it and see if you can absorb and comprehend it."

"Okay." The little girl took it eagerly and attempted to absorb the energy. However, the crystal sphere's powers of law showed no change.

She shook her head in disappointment. "Big brother, it doesn't work. I don't seem to have the elemental affinity for the four basic elements."

John furrowed his brows in confusion. He already knew that Spoorate's talents were the Three-Headed, Six-Armed ability and The Path of Immortality.

However, Jackey had never been able to explain the specifics of these powers, only mentioning that they were incredibly strong talents for combating The Heaven.

It seemed that Spoorate would have to rely on her own insights to improve.

"Master, can I absorb it?" Debbie asked cautiously, looking at the colorful crystal sphere.

She had the affinity for the four basic elements.

"Go ahead." John nodded, not concerned about the loss of the powers in this particular crystal

sphere.

"Thank you, master!" Debbie's face lit up with happiness, and she eagerly took the crystal sphere from Spoorate.

John continued to infuse the four basic elements' powers into more crystal spheres. He created seventy-three in total, then handed them over to Beamay.

He gave clear instructions. "Make sure these crystal spheres get to Tony and the others. Let them recover some of their strength. I'll notify Ben. We'll take action tomorrow night." "Understood." Beamay responded respectfully, then took out a jade stone and handed it to John, explaining, "My lord, this is a communication stone. I just obtained it. It's the same as the one we had in our previous world, allowing us to contact each other remotely."

"Good." John accepted the communication stone and nodded.

The communication stone carried Beamay's spiritual imprint, meaning only he and John could use it to stay in contact.

The group left the tavern and parted ways with Beamay. John and the others exited the city and made their way to the Gnolls, where they passed on the message to Ben.

In recent days, Quahog City had made significant moves. They had destroyed several

rebellious towns, weakening the strength of the rebel forces considerably.

Ben had been eager to take action earlier, and he immediately agreed to move forward. The

plan was set-midnight tomorrow, they would begin their operation.

With the plan finalized, John and his group returned to Quahog City.

They found a weapon shop, where John spent ten high-grade spirit cores to forge two finely crafted longswords.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Adamantine Sword he had been using had been damaged severely from extended battles. He found himself missing his ancient artifacts, like the United Sword, and several other relics.

However, his strength had not yet fully recovered. He could clearly feel the artifacts now fused within his body, but he was still unable to summon them.

John felt that only once his powers of law were restored would he be able to call upon these

artifacts.

The group then found a tavern near The Heaven prison to temporarily stay.

The place was heavily guarded, making it impossible to infiltrate and gather information

about the prison.

Even with Debbie's identity as a goddess, approaching the prison would result in immediate

expulsion.

With no choice but to abandon the plan for now, John decided they would force their way in tomorrow night.

The following day, soldiers in Quahog City were mobilized in large numbers. The city was on high alert, with armies gathering on the walls. The Storm Legion, meanwhile, quietly left the city and disappeared into the surrounding forests.

"Master, why do I have the feeling that Quahog City has noticed our movements?" Debbie asked, standing by the window and frowning as she observed the troops being deployed. John nodded. "It seems Ben's rebel army might have spies within Quahog City." This didn't surprise him. After all, the rebel forces were a mix of various city guard units, and

it was only natural that some traitors might be among them.

The key to this operation, however, was the element of surprise. Fortunately, Beamay had sent word that everything inside The Heaven prison was operating normally, and their plans had not been detected.

...

As night fell, a deadly silence enveloped Quahog City, though the atmosphere remained tense, thick with the scent of impending conflict.

Under the cover of darkness, John and his group stealthily approached the perimeter of The

Heaven prison.

Every hundred meters, there was a watchtower, and flames shot up into the sky. Any

movement would be immediately detected.

John lay in wait, hidden in the shadows, silently watching for the signal from the army

outside the city to move.

"Master, is it you?" A voice suddenly came from beside him. It was Beamay, who had skillfully slipped past the watchtowers without being noticed.

John nodded, then asked, "What's the situation inside the prison?"

Ben quickly responded, "Master, Tony and the others have already recovered to the Spirit

Body Realm. They should be able to cause some chaos."

"Just Spirit Body Realm?" John furrowed his brow. That level of power was far too weak.

Most of the soldiers in Quahog City were one-star Awakened Ones, and the Storm Legion had even reached two-star strength.

Tony and the others' abilities would struggle even against regular soldiers.

Beamay, however, looked somewhat helpless and said, "Master, we were punished by The Heaven and descended into this world without any cultivation. To recover to the Spirit Body Realm in just one day with the help of the power of laws is already impressive. While they can't fight the soldiers here, there are still other prisoners inside. Creating chaos should still

be feasible."

John nodded. Given the time constraints, that was the best they could do.

He then asked, "What about the guards in this prison? What's their strength?" Beamay replied, "The prison warden is a peak three-star Awakened One, the strongest among them. There are five battalion leaders who are also three-star Awakened Ones. The rest of the

team leaders and squad leaders are at the two-star level, and there are over a thousand

soldiers, all at the one-star level."

John let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the guards weren't too powerful.

With his current strength, he could easily take down a three-star Awakened One. Once the

prisoners were released, chaos would certainly break out in the city. With Ben's assistance from the inside, taking the city would be within reach.

"Attack!" Suddenly, the sounds of battle echoed from outside the city. Fire blazed into the sky, and countless arrows and spells began to rain down.

As soon as midnight struck, Ben led his army in a precise assault.

"Move!" John commanded, and without hesitation, he sprang into action, charging directly

toward the nearest watchtower.

"Enemies!" The soldier at the watchtower quickly alerted the others. He immediately

sounded the alarm.

Whoosh!

A cold flash of light shot through the air, and the soldier dropped dead on the spot.

However, John and his group had been exposed, and a large number of soldiers rushed toward

them.
