“…”

Even the livestream audience felt suffocated, so you can imagine how the members of the Triumph Guild felt standing there on the battlefield.

Seeing that mocking look on the White-Eyed Monster’s face, they realized how foolish they had been.

Their fighting spirit had just been completely shattered by this one trick.

Their only hope had been the wolves, and in the end, that hope turned out to be nothing but bait left by the White-Eyed Monster himself.

From start to finish, they never stood a chance.

Whether it was power or strategy, the White-Eyed Monster completely dominated them.

“Screw this, what’s the point of fighting?!”

“All those hours grinding for gear, just to lose it all at once?…”

“This is ridiculous; we’ve really taken ‘overestimating ourselves’ to a new level…”

“In his eyes, we probably look like clowns…”

“…”

The players had already lost their will to fight. They all turned their eyes to Xiao Po.

As guild members, they couldn’t just act on their own.

More than anything, they wanted Xiao Po to give the order to retreat.

After all, if they couldn’t win, maybe they could still escape with their equipment.

Seeing this, Xiao Po was ready to throw in the towel.

The wolves had been his only trump card, and with them turning on him, there was no point in continuing this battle.

But then he looked at the eyes of his guildmates and hesitated.

If he ordered a retreat now, how embarrassing would that be?

Surrendering without even putting up a fight would ruin the guild’s reputation.

It had taken Xiao Po so much effort to build this guild, investing a lot of time and energy.

No way he wanted all of that to go down the drain.

“Damn it! We have to at least give it a try!”

Sitting at the top, Xiao Po’s mindset was naturally different from the average player.

They just wanted to keep their gear; he cared about his pride and the guild’s reputation.

They could grind for new equipment, but reputation? Once lost, it’s hard to rebuild.

With that in mind, Xiao Po quickly started barking out orders.

“Elite squad, move up front!”

“You’re in full iron sets! Those explosions won’t do much damage!”

“We’ve got 20,000 people! That monster’s mob has what, 5,000 max? Our gear wasn’t for nothing!”

“Show them what the Fourth Calamity is all about!”

“…”

Following Xiao Po’s command, the players, though reluctant, had no choice but to obey.

At this point, there was no turning back.

The elite squad, fully armored in iron sets, moved up to the front, each holding a sword and a shield.

They looked decently strong.

After all, iron armor offered solid protection.

Even against Creepers, they wouldn’t lose too much health, and with their iron shields, they could still put up a fight against these monsters.

Seeing the Triumph Guild members prepare for a final stand, even the viewers in the livestream started getting fired up.

“Yeah! No giving up! Even if we can’t take down the White-Eyed Monster, let’s at least take out a few minions!”

“That White-Eyed Monster is way too cocky! We’ve got to knock him down a peg! Let him know he can’t just win that easily!”

“We players aren’t pushovers! Even if we can’t kill him, we’ll make sure he regrets it!”

“…”

In war, morale is everything.

That’s why leaders always give motivational speeches to rally their troops before a battle.

And now, while Triumph Guild might have been on the verge of giving up, they were also ready for a desperate fight.

Just as the players braced themselves for the final stand…

From both the east and west, another wave of monsters emerged.

These were the ones who had been attacking the eastern and southern walls earlier.

It seemed the White-Eyed Monster had called them back.

Looks like the White-Eyed Monster was getting serious.

Seeing the monsters advancing, the players from Triumph Guild held their positions, wary of making any rash moves.

It wasn’t until the monsters got closer that they got a good look at them.

The monsters were divided into three groups.

Each group was led by one of three monsters: a zombie, a baby zombie, and a vindicator.

The three monsters soon joined the White-Eyed Monster’s side.

Only then did the players get a clear look at them.

These three monsters were decked out in full gear.

The zombie and baby zombie were both wearing sets of gear that glowed with a dazzling blue light.

The vindicator, on the other hand, was equipped with iron armor but wielded an axe that also emitted a blue glow.

The players were dumbfounded.

“These monsters…they’re wearing gear?!”

“And that blue glow… What kind of gear is that? It looks powerful!”

“Is that…diamond armor?!”

“Gah…Diamond armor?! Monsters have diamond armor now?!”

“…”

The game was still in its early stages, and many players hadn’t even acquired full iron sets, let alone diamonds.

With diamonds being so scarce in the game, most players had only seen them in posts from top players online.

At this stage, anyone who had even a diamond sword was treated like a legend.

And here, not just a sword, but entire diamond sets were right in front of them?!

The Triumph Guild players were paralyzed.

They thought they were doing pretty well with their iron gear, only to find that a mere monster henchman was decked out in what they could only dream of.

“Seriously… We worked ourselves to death, and a random monster is better equipped than us?!”

“Diamond armor… They even gave it to their underlings?!”

“Haha, looking at that gear, I actually want to switch sides! White-Eyed Boss, how about recruiting me?”

“Honestly… is there even a point in fighting this out?”

The Triumph Guild players had thought they could scrape by, relying on their gear.

But seeing these monsters’ gear made them want to give up.

They thought they’d have the upper hand in equipment, but it turned out they were the ones getting crushed.

Those diamond sets gleamed with an intense blue light in the dark, though to the Triumph Guild players, it felt like a harsh glare that burned their souls.

When the three leading monsters came closer, the other monsters behind them also stepped up.

In the front row, except for those monsters who couldn’t wear armor, they were all in full iron sets.

Even the weaker mobs in the back had at least one or two pieces of iron gear.

The Triumph Guild players could only shake their heads and let out a bitter laugh.

“Don’t stop me; I’m heading to Gotham to challenge Batman.”

“Man, I feel ridiculous… Just a minute ago, I was smug about my gear.”

“Damn it, I’ve played so many games, and this is the first time I’ve been outclassed by the monsters!”

“I’m tired… Let the world burn…”

“…”

At that moment, the livestream viewers, seeing the monsters’ gear, were flooding the screen with question marks and exclamation points.

“??????!!!!!!”

“WTF?! What is this?! Is this supposed to be fair?!”

“Diamond armor! Diamond armor! Even the monsters are wearing diamond armor!”

“I used to think Triumph Guild had decent gear, but after seeing these monsters… Sorry, I was naïve.”

“White-Eyed Boss, please, let me be one of your minions! I’ll be the best henchman you could ask for!”

“Hey, consider me! I’ve got unlimited respawns!”

“Today, we’ve reached new levels of absurdity… Absurdity has found a new home.” (Lol)

“This is a complete power imbalance… Don’t even bother fighting; just surrender…”

———

“…”

Even Steve couldn’t help but swallow nervously when he saw the monsters’ gear.

“I really underestimated his strength…”

In Steve’s eyes, the White-Eyed Monster was already immensely powerful.

But he hadn’t expected it to be to this extent.

The White-Eyed Monster didn’t just possess strength; he also had a rare charisma.

His war strategies, his planning, and his vision were unparalleled.

And, most astonishing of all—

He understood the game inside and out!

From his knowledge of wolves, to building a safe structure, to equipping the monsters with armor—

Everything pointed to his deep understanding of the game.

Even the fact that all the monster minions carried axes instead of swords showed he knew the game mechanics inside out!

Most players defaulted to crafting swords.
