Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038 – Mighty Lineup
Chapter 1038: Mighty Lineup
“Huh…?”
A player who had been drinking in a restaurant accidentally cast a glance at the street, and he released a surprised gasp. He then cast a few more scrutinizing glances at the area, because he seemed to have noticed a rather familiar back on the street.
“What’s wrong?”
A few of his companions who shared the same table with him by the window craned their heads outside. “Did you see a beauty?”
“Did you see that person with that equipment and the demonic tattoos just now?”
“What’s there to be shocked about? This is an area near Wind Assault Tower, and it’s normal to see a few players with high-grade demon vessels and demon tattoos. But I have to say, Wind Assault Tower sure has been unlucky over this period of time. Right now, they don’t even dare to go outside the city. They have to rely on other sects helping them and use their sect prisons to train… Tsk tsk. Think about how mighty they had been in the past. They were the strongest sect in the Chinese server, you know?”
“Don’t even say it. Who knew that Dream Clouds would have hidden herself so deeply? She actually had such close connections with twelve sects in Beijing…”
“What do you mean, close connections? Over the past half a month, those twelve Beijing sects have been helping Class One Hall attack Wind Assault Tower, and it doesn’t make sense that they do. There are people online who say that Yuan Zhixiong and his group are all puppet forces Class One Hall supported. They are a hidden force that Dream Clouds has been cultivating more than one and a half years ago.”
The people at the table could not help but sigh for Wind Assault Tower because of that sentence.
However, the man who had gasped in surprise just now did not join in the lamentation. All he could think of was that familiar back he saw through the window just now. His eyes sparkled, and he tried hard to remember something.
How familiar!
He seemed to have seen that person somewhere before, but that person should not have appeared so near Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters.
While he thought about it, he suddenly saw another group of people on the street!
He said nothing, but he subconsciously widened his eyes and was dumbfounded for two seconds before he stood up abruptly under his companions’ puzzled and shocked gazes. He cried out in surprise, “I called it! I knew there was something wrong! Look! It’s Class One Hall’s people!”
“What’s so surprising about it. Over this period of time, Class One Hall has been causing trouble continuously to Wind Assault Tower… Wait, this is Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. Who would be so daring as to go there and cause trouble?”
The group seemed to have suddenly realized something. They stood up and looked outside the window, wanting to know just who was so daring. The headquarters of both sides were sensitive regions, and no one would dare to casually get closer to the area of their enemy’s headquarters. This was a rule that both sides had quietly obeyed over the past half a month.
When the group drew closer to the window, the area outside had clearly descended into a ruckus. More people shouted loudly outside.
Thud! Thud!

The clear sounds of footsteps rose from the area above their heads.
The group of people discovered to their shock that people were quickly running on the roof on the building across them.
One, two, ten…
They ran across the roof like the wind.
But that was not all.
The sound of footsteps on the roof above them became even more rapid. The number of people running on the roof across them were not few either. All of their expressions were stern and anxious.
“Something has happened!”
When they saw this, even the most slow-witted person would notice the abnormal atmosphere outside. Besides, they clearly saw that the number of Class One Hall members on the street was swiftly increasing, and among them were some people from Blood Alliance and the twelve sects.
And the people who were running on the roofs to rush to Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters all had the same emblem on their chests, which was something surprising to those watching.
Wind Assault Tower!
This was something that was a great irony.
The people walking on the streets to Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters were practically all Wind Assault Tower’s enemies. They were from Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and other sects.
And the Wind Assault Tower members, who should originally be the masters of this area, were taking an unusual path on the roofs, which was usually traveled by thieves at night.
Whoosh!
The group of people looked at each other before they left their seats and went out of the restaurant. They left behind a table full of wine and great dishes that they had not even touched much.
*****
In just the blink of an eye, the streets were already full of people. Quite a number of people jumped up from the street to seize spots on the roofs.
The Wind Assault Tower members who charged over all had incredibly stern expressions, along with great determination and fighting spirit that allowed them to run forth without turning back. They did not dare remain idle as all of them headed to the headquarters.
If anyone looked from above, they would notice that a lot of players were flying in the air above the streets and roofs from everywhere. They gave off a lively but tense image.
On the streets were players who were armed. They had already surrounded a circular area of several miles from the headquarters.
“…Hiss!”
When they saw this, the group of people who came to get entertained all sucked in sharp breaths, and all of them had the same thought.
‘Wind Assault Tower is going to be in serious trouble this time!
‘Is Class One Hall finally unable to hold back and are prepared to completely destroy Wind Assault Tower’s stronghold in the north?’
When this thought rose in multiple people’s heads, so did great curiosity. They were spurred on by this curiosity, and they went to the area near Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters to join in the fun.
The situation that happened outside Class One Hall’s headquarters half a month ago appeared once more.
However, many people knew that during that time, Class One Hall was lucky. They managed to escape from trouble and even turned the tides around to control the situation.
This time, Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters might not be able to turn the tides around.
*****
The entrance to Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters was one-third of a mile away.
Many Wind Assault Tower members had already received Phantasmal Shadow’s warning beforehand, and they quickly set up tight defense lines inside the headquarters. The elites who were in the sect prisons in other sects also rushed to their positions within a short period of time.

“Damn it…”
“We’re finally going to fight in a major battle, huh? I’ve been waiting for this day for too long!”
Quite a number of people did not show any nervousness or unease when they returned. Instead, they revealed an excitement that they had been suppressing for a long time. They gnashed their teeth together and wanted to immediately rush out to fight.
Wu Kuo stood at a tall spot in the headquarters in an incredibly mighty manner to represent Phantasmal Shadow in motivating their tower members before the war.
“My brothers and sisters, we’ve been nursing our grievances in Beijing for half a month, and for what reason did we do that for? It’s for today!
“Today, our chance for revenge has finally arrived!
“Don’t you dare show them any mercy later on! Kill as many of them as you can! After all, we don’t need to care about them anymore once we kill them in Beijing!”
“AYE!”
The people were incredibly enraged!
*****
“Hall master!”
“Hall Master Dream!”
Outside Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters were Dream Clouds and a group of Class One Hall’s higher ups. They were surrounded by more than two hundred aces from various sects, and they marched out of the street in a mighty formation and with an astonishing momentum.
Boom!
The crowd behind them and the people in the other streets instantly burst into a commotion.
“The people from the twelve sects have indeed joined the operation today. Look, their aces have all come here and gathered beside Dream Clouds.”
“Dragon Hand Seeker… Buddhist Fist in a Tortoise… These famous elites in the south have actually entered Beijing…?”
“Whew… As expected, there’s a reason behind why those rumors are circulating in the forum online…”
“Class One Hall has a close connection with the twelve Beijing sects. In the beginning, when Wind Assault Tower contacted them, they were not this proactive!”
While these people discussed with each other, quite a number of observant people also became wary of Class One Hall, and they put their guard on against them.
When they saw this, they remembered how Phantasmal Shadow had mobilized a large number of forces, and even contacted One Emperor and Wandering Know-it-all to fight against Class One Hall half a month ago, but in the end, she was betrayed, and she ended up in her current state.
As they recalled what happened, all that transpired seemed to be because Dream Clouds had been controlling everything in the dark.
“Wild Wolves…”
“Since these sect leaders are all Class One Hall’s members, all that they said before this cannot be trusted.”
“If Class One Hall is really working together with Wild Wolves, then the Chinese server is really in danger!”
Quite a number of people had this worry flash in their hearts.
But even if they worried now, they could already not change anything.
Dream Clouds led a group of top-class elites to arrive outside Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters in a mighty momentum, and she did not look as if she wanted to stop, organize their forces, and attack.
Dream Clouds swept her gaze over a pair of mighty and tall Qilin statues by the side of the door for Wind Assault Tower. Then, her eyes finally landed on Wind Assault Tower’s plate.
“Take it down.”
Dream Clouds had her hands placed behind her back, and she said those words without batting an eyelid. Her tone was flat, but it had an intangible determination in it that allowed no one to disobey her.
Whoosh!
Before her voice faded away, a black shadow shot out from the crowd behind Dream Clouds.
This person moved as quickly as lightning, and the distance of 162 feet between him and the headquarters instantly shortened by half.
When he drew close to the steps leading to the main door of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, he tapped against the ground, and he flew like a swan. He drew his longsword, and it released an astonishing, long whine in the air.
Clang!
Under countless people’s burning gazes, Wind Assault Tower’s plate was easily cut from the middle.
Rustle!
The sword glare was sharp. The plate was cut in two and landed on the steps.
‘He’s too fast!’
Class One Hall had attacked too suddenly, and they had given no sign that they were about to attack.
When Wind Assault Tower wanted to salvage the situation, it was already too late. They could only watch as the plate for their headquarters was cut in half.
Within just a moment, an unprecedented shame and anger filled each Wind Assault Tower member’s chest. The headquarters also exploded with shouts of indignant rage.
“You’re thinking of leaving after you destroyed our headquarters’ plate?!”
“Since you’re already here, then die!”
The sound of bow strings being released rose.
Even the people who were in the streets outside Wind Assault Tower could clearly hear the sounds of air trembling, and it caused their hearts to tremble.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless arrows flew into the air.
A dense wave of arrows descended from the sky like a storm, and it instantly locked down on the Class One Hall elite who destroyed their plate.
They had already been humiliated, and only by killing that Class One Hall elite could they wash away their humiliation. That was why when Wind Assault Tower attacked this time, they practically had all their archers who practiced Moksha Realm and Inaction Realm Bow Techniques attack. They wanted to use the fastest offense and momentum to destroy the Wind Assault Tower enemy who humiliated them.
When the Class One Hall elite was about to suffer the tragic fate of being pierced through by an arrow shower, a person suddenly walked out from behind Dream Clouds, and he released a cold snort from his nostrils.
“You’re thinking about stopping us with just the likes of you?!”
Before he finished speaking, he already stepped on the ground.
The ground in front of him started moving as if there was an earth dragon tumbling about under it.
Boom!
The flat ground shattered because of the force, and countless sturdy, shattered tiles charged forth like large, howling dragons to face the arrow shower that shot out from Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters to fill the air.
Even though they could not block all of the arrows, each stone contained an extraordinary hidden force, and they managed to make the arrows behind the first wave of arrows freeze for a moment.
That momentary pause was enough to make the person who drew his sword to cut down the plate to escape from the arrows behind the first wave.

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.

Daughters of the Void
Emily is a high school student. Too tall and developed for her age. Her will has been broken, so now, she is fearful and insecure. But that, doesn't explain why those around her bully and despise her. Perhaps... it is related to the dark and deep secret that she has inexplicably forgotten? What made her forget it? The strange being, with whom Emily once made a pact, intends to find out what has happened. To do so, will take her to a world terribly different from this one. Why does it take her to another world? Why did Emily forget what makes her different? Why the hell, all of a sudden, can Emily see three floating panels in the middle of the darkness? What is this? A video game with a lush green-eyed redhead as the main character? Daughters of the Void is a story told from multiple points of view, which occur in parallel. As if they were several series in one, where each protagonist advances at their own pace. At first, the story of each character will advance slowly, so I ask you to be patient. Soon, you will discover a story of extreme survival in a medieval fantasy world. A story, a bit dark, that can also be a bit comical at certain moments. But above all, it can be harsh and cruel to its protagonists. I’ve introduced LitRPG elements in a very soft and almost non-existent way at the beginning of the story. As the story progresses, they will become more and more abundant, depending on the protagonist. Emily is the main and first protagonist of "Daughters of the Void". After her; Dianna, Tanya and others. Above all, I’m looking for your immersion, so I will make you aware of most of the thoughts of the protagonists. I also want the reader to feel some uncertainty, putting yourselves in the shoes of some girls who can't find what they lack. I look for realism, but also to surprise myself. Around chapter 25 there is an awakening of the protagonists. Moment in which they will begin to behave as they really want to be. Unrivaled adventurers. Heroines of legend. The secondary protagonists were created to cover some deficiencies that I noticed that the series had when it was only Emily, so their chapters will be more sporadic. Tags and warnings give me creative freedom. This is the first story I've written, although they are not my first drawings. Be kind with your reviews. I know everything can be improved. Also, English is not my native language, neither is my brother's. He’s the one who translates the story. Constructive feedback is always welcome. We learn day by day. Everything helps us to improve the quality of this humble project. Let us know what you think.
