"It worked too..."


    Lein stood on his floating ind and took a deep breath as he thought about what happened when he destroyed Orb Alpha.


    "What would happen if I destroyed it while it was still full of energy?" he muttered. There was a strong belief in him that he could do it. He was very sure of his power.


    "All right, I''ll give it a try when the timees," he told himself, taking his mind off the ck orb for a moment. His gaze turned to the Main City in the distance.


    The damage to the city was almostpletely repaired and the corpses were no longer there. This was all thanks to Nita, who had been working non-stop with the help of the werewolf warriors.


    "Brother!"


    Nita''s voice sounded in the distance. Two people stood beside her. To her left was a young man of Lein''s age, and to her right a middle-aged man with a muscr build.


    Lein blinked, trying to make out their identities, as the gentle breeze from his floating ind swept across his face, bringing new hope.

    Main Hall - Living Room - 1st Floor


    In the spacious living room, four people sat around a table discussing their grand n.


    "Brother Lein, I''m very interested in bing part of the World Market Alliance" said the middle-aged man named Takni excitedly.


    "Yes, I''m interested too," added the young man called Efan.


    At the previous meeting, they had nned to form the World Market Alliance, an organisation that would establish a tradingwork throughout the Sky Divine Realm.


    Any human with a system could ess the market system, but the main drawback was that all the goods sold there were of low quality. To solve this problem, Lein had made a brief note of his organisation''s grand vision.


    World Market Alliance


    Goal:


    - To sell high-level equipment at below-standard prices.


    - To purchase high-level goods at above-standard prices.


    Benefits:


    - 50% discount on the purchase of items from the WM Alliance store.


    "Alright, if you agree, please sign this letter," Lein said, handing over the paper Nita had carefully prepared.


    "Princess Nita is as detailed as ever," Takni praised with a smile.


    Takni and Efan did not hesitate. They were very excited to see how serious Lein and Nita were about this alliance. Efan felt very happy in his heart. For Efan, Lein had a very bright white light. He was very surprised when he met him for the first time.


    The tablet in front of him showed why:


    [Lucky Eye - A]


    - (Lein) Luck level, maximum.


    One of the reasons why Efan dared toe to Lein Ind without fear was because he had the gift of Lucky Eye. Thest time he saw such a white light was when he found the Golden Chest on an ind he had raided.


    The brighter the Lucky Eye''s judgement, the better the effect.


    After they had signed the contract, Takni asked, "Brother Lein, when will we begin?


    "Once your ind and mine have merged, the city will be officially operational," Lein replied.


    As core members of the World Market Alliance, they had to willingly leave their ind and join Lein''s ind. In return, Lein wouldpensate them with top-quality equipment and protection.


    Their task as core members was to search for high-level items.


    The meetingsted only 10 minutes before Efan and Takni returned to their ind through the teleportation portal. They were also in a defensive situation against void monsters.


    "Nita, let''s get ready... We''re going to level up quickly," Lein said with a big smile on his face.


    "What''s wrong, brother? Tell me..." Nita pleaded curiously.


    "I found an item that gives exp!" Lein said immediately.


    Nita''s eyes widened with excitement. The more she listened to Lein''s exnation, the more excited she became.

    Lein Ind


    Lein Ind was currently moving at a steady 1 meter per second towards the approaching Stone Ind. Lein didn''t want to wait; he wanted to destroy the Stone Inds as soon as he saw them. The more time he wasted, the less experience he gained.


    Five minutes passed, and finally Lein Ind and Stone Ind came together. The current size of Lein Ind was almost 700 x 700 meter, while the Stone Ind in front of it was 1500 x 1500 meter, which was huge.


    Without waiting for the Void Monsters to attack, Lein and Nita immediately activated their skills and rushed towards Stone Ind. Lein casually shed at the level 10, 15, and 20 normal monsters, killing them all with a single sh. Not to be left behind, Nita shot arrows in all directions. Each arrow killed a void monster.


    However, the void monsters did not remain silent. Ten Protector-level monsters tried to block them. One of the human-shaped monsters with a bird''s beak activated its ability, creating a tornado of sharp feathers.


    [Tornado Bird - Protector]


    - Level: 20


    - Species: Magic


    - Abilities: Str 136, Int 202, Ag 114, Res 117


    - (Feather Tornado) Creates a 10m diameter feather tornado for 1 minute.


    Lein shes at the iing feather tornado. Due to the difference in strength, the tornado disintegrated easily.


    "Kuakk..." Sensing danger, the tornado bird retreated immediately.


    "You want to run?" Lein jumped up and shed at the Tornado Bird''s neck.


    [Sessfully killed the Tornado Bird - Protector, exp +4100, kill points +2000]


    The Protector monsters watching from a distance were afraid. However, Lein sensed that one of them had greater strength.


    In the centre of Stone Ind, a little boy with a red horn on his head stood.


    [Demon Child - Protector].


    - Level: 20


    - Species: Swordmaster


    - Skills: Str 316, Int 227, Agi 286, Res 239


    - (Demon Clones) Produces 3 clones, each specialising in STR, AGI, RES attributes. Each clone inherits 150% of the attributes.


    ---


    "1000 attribute points in total?" Lein muttered to himself. This time he had to be careful.


    "Big brother... The monster with the horns is dangerous," Nita, who was already next to Lein, felt the same way.


    The red-horned monster looked at the other 12 Protector monsters, they seemed to be whispering. Suddenly they all attacked at the same time.


    Lein didn''t have to hold back this time. He immediately activated his strongest skill.


    Within a radius of 100 meters, a bright light illuminated the ground, a great vital energy filling the entire area.


    (Skill 3: Area of Light)


    - Creates an area of light in a 100 meter radius. Increases all attributes by 100%, negates enemy healing, +100% damage to dark creatures. Lasts 10 minutes, 1 hour cooldown.


    Lein''s attributes have now reached 400 points each.


    The first protector monster came, a snake that sprayed acid in a 10 meter radius. The other monsters came one by one, showing off their best skills. While Lein fought at close range, Nita hovered at a distance, firing explosive arrows.


    Nita''s speed was so high that her second skill gave her 200% speed.


    (Skill 2: Nature Archery Dance)


    - Draws power from nature, movement speed +200%. Can perform two high jumps in the air, +50% damage. Lasts 2 minutes. Cooldown 10 minutes.


    [Sessfully kill Torus - Protector, exp +5140, kill points +2000]


    A Protector monster falls every 30 seconds. Lein and Nita had the upper hand at the moment.


    The demon child didn''t stay still, activating the clone skill. Soon, three simr creatures appeared. One had almost 500 STR, another clone had 340 AGI and thest had 358 Resilience.


    "Big brother, I''ll take care of the clone with AGI," Nita didn''t wait for Lein''s answer.


    The arrow skill that could lock on to a target had already been released. A glowing white arrow shot towards the clone with the highest AGI. The clone with the highest AGI tried to dodge, but the arrow continued to follow it.


    "Arghhhh..." The clone died, but there was no system message.


    Lein felt it was time to end this battle. The demon child began to panic at Lein''s sudden surge of power.


    "It''s toote..." Lein unleashed his second ability.


    (Skill 2: Sky Shattering Divine)


    - A 100 meter long sword aura appeared, shing at the enemy.


    A sword aura appeared and shed at the demon child as he tried to escape into the pit. But it was toote. The sword aura crushed the demon child and caused great damage to Stone Ind.


    [Sessfully killed the Demon Child - Protector, exp +640, kill points +2000]


    "Nita, quick, let''s go to the core!" shouted Lein.


    The two of them rushed towards the core of Stone Ind, even though there were still many void monsters outside. Inside the Stone Ind room was the same orb Lein had seen before, still in good condition, not cracked.


    [Alpha Orb]


    - Remaining energy: 92,890


    "Still so much..." Lein felt that Stone Ind still had a lot of energy, so the void monsters would continue to appear.


    Lein took out his hand to check the Orb System panel. He tried to duplicate it, just like when he duplicated the Crystal Core.


    [Alpha Orb, duplicate 10,000 times?]


    "Hahahaha..." Leinughed happily.


    "What''s up, bro?" Nita was curious.


    Lein did not exin and immediately performed the duplication. Light appeared from the Crystal Orb and 3600 Alpha Orbs instantly appeared in his pocket. Another 6300 Alpha Orbs continued to fall from empty air.


    Lein checked one of the Orb Crystals and found that it was indeed an exact match. However, there was something strange. The remaining energy kept decreasing by 1 point each time, even the Alpha Orb in the bag.


    "Nita, destroy all the ck Orbs in front of you," Lein ordered.


    Nita immediately destroyed the orbs with her arrows and a system message sounded.


    [Destroy Alpha Orb. Exp +91,460]


    [Destroyed Alpha Orb. Exp +91,438]


    [Congrattions, your Ruler level has reached 11]


    [Congrattions, your Ruler level has reached 12]


    The two of them continued to smash the orb, while the system continued to issue exp gain notifications and the asional level up notification.
