Endless blade glows weave into a web.
No extra operations, no technical content, not even a technique.
At this moment, Leoz and others are facing extreme speed.
It's impossible to tell how many slashes Qinlan Jiuge made, the attack information burst out instantly, directly exploding the battle records of Leoz and others, making it impossible to count.
This is speed, pure numerical overpower.
Different from facing Glina Swirl, they are facing a demigod and upper Dragon Clan's powerful mechanism; Qinlan Jiuge is a Kappa-rank strong figure of the Empire.
In a way, as a being from a Narrative Civilization, she is more powerful than the non-full Void Overlord Xides of the past, more difficult than dealing with Lord Entropy, and more terrifying than dealing with a dozen Kappa from the Maxwell Consortium.
Yes, extremely powerful, this pure numerical value, is something no mechanism or technique can confront.
It's like a child facing a polar bear; even with firearms, it's difficult to unleash full potential due to the opponent's size and roar.
So, Leoz unveiled his first ace.

————————————
Invincible True General, though relying on pay-to-win, still invincible!
Everyone with a bottle of Fury of the Wind down their throat, players lightly crush the bottles, letting the fragments get swept away by sword wind.
The sharp sword glow almost makes Land Loyd unable to open his eyes, while Glina beside him looks leisurely, even too lazy to put on an act to stabilize her current hostage persona.
The first attack, easily resolved.
"Oh, didn't get killed by a flick of my finger, nice, really capable."
Qinlan Jiuge shrugged, her blue hair blasted by violent Qi energy, her eyes emitting sparkling bright light:
"Whether mere terrorists or valued potentials from above… try making me sweat."
"Triangle formation, Yueyue Drive Out Ghosts blinds the opponent, Night Fighting Sword harass the periphery."
With Xia Yubing no longer around, Caramel Snail had to take on the command task.
"Yutianxiao cut the spell ball, molding spell output, stop fire as needed, careful not to shift aggro."
Luckily, he was no longer the naive rookie he once was.
"Wait a moment."
Yutianxiao raised a hand and tapped in the air:
"Alright, I've started the live-stream, let players see how we break through official limits and submerge in Starry Abyss."
Long Yuqiong nodded, on this point, they rarely reached an agreement:
"Yeah, no one can stop our footsteps into unknown realms, not even the officials!"
"Camera at this position, I'll come to say hi."
Leoz conveniently opened the group chat, @ all members and sent over Yutianxiao's live-stream room:
"Title the live-stream: [Collaborative Live] The best Starry Abyss players will penetrate Layer Abyss."
"Isn't it too arrogant?" Lanan worried: "Audience might find it too flashy."
"How will you make money if you're not bold? Live-streaming is all about exaggeration, because what the streamer provides is essentially emotional service. We need to satisfy audiences' curiosity, seek comfort and thrill, only then will they willingly pay and admire — be bold!"
Leoz nonchalantly talked about his live-streaming philosophy.
"Wait, I need to turn off gift cashback — alright, done."
Due to the overlapping nature of fanbases between several professional players and Leoz being a major streamer, soon, fans from all sides flooded in, sending the live-stream room's heat soaring quickly.
Leoz also didn't forget his loyal "Abyss Critic" fans — Seeking Feather Fall, a female player who once issued the defiant statement of 'I won't let you curse Qiqiao Network, he's my dad'. After several reprimands and coercion from Leoz, she had now become the manager of the True General.
Seeking Feather Fall efficiently organized widespread dissemination through major forums and chat groups, virally spreading news of the collaborative live-stream, exaggeratedly showcasing its high caliber, and the gaming prowess of several professional players, even using dark history and gimmicks to attract people.
The saying goes, even notorious fame is fame, necessary infamy can evoke sympathy from players for the person involved.
And in their hands, they also have a very important show material.
"Host, is that round-headed, round-belly guy beside you that Northern Territory Emperor?"
"Really? I think he looks like it too."
"Isn't he that guy who agreed to a fight, got beaten for real, then couldn't take it, went offline to open up, let dogs eat people, that beast?"
"Damn, Invincible True General is awesome! You actually tied up the beloved son of Qiqiao Network."
"A'zhen, I've never begged anyone in my life, but please, don't let him go offline."
"Come back, Uncle Canyue, my proudest outlaw. I vaguely remember your dimensional membrane, and that powerful Dimensional Slash that could send people to the second dimension..."
Senator Leoz deliberately made Yutianxiao keep Land Loyd framed within the camera, occasionally mentioning:
"This isn't that Emperor of the Northern Territory, this is Land Loyd, a strong lad we conveniently caught, definitely not that Northern Emperor McDowell Button. Seriously, folks, no way it's him..."
He intentionally used this dark humor, stirring the audience's enthusiasm even more.
"'Legendary Large Documentary Invincible True General 2.0': Even if True General's live stream room is banned, he remains Fiery Summer's best entertainment streamer."
"A supposed entertainment streamer who single-handedly takes down thousands in the arena, is that called entertainment?"
"What else? Not going to contests to make a name, just staying here as a small streamer—wait, who are you?"
"Holy... Long Yuqiong! Dad! Why are you here? Yutianxiao too? Oh, this is Yutianxiao's live stream room."
"Our Qiongyu fans are just like this."
"Caramel Snail! Niuniu, I'm your girlfriend fan, Niuniu, go for it, you must win the championship this year!"
"Night, aren't you supposed to be training, why are you in other people's live streams again."
"My son, Night Fighting Sword, a little embarrassing."
"That one called Lanan, isn't she the genius girl previously invited by four professional teams?"
"This old Biden named Bai Heshun, I've teamed up with him before, Severston right? Not too strong, just double our team's highest output."
"But wasn't he a healer?"
Surprisingly, even Severston and Lanan have a fair amount of popularity among players, they seem to have already made a name for themselves among the public.
[Looks like this team was the right choice.]
Not every reincarnated deity is the best player, but it seems strong reincarnated deities still retain some advantages from their previous lives.
The live stream room's popularity is soaring, quickly reaching the top ten on the leaderboard, and still rising.
"Cumin Powder——"
Caramel Snail paused, lowered his head, looking more determined, and said in a deep voice:
"Severston, keep sustained output, make sure the front line is healed."
"As for our main carry..."
Caramel Snail crossed his dual blades, stood beside Senator Leoz and Long Yuqiong, the three standing shoulder to shoulder.
"Without a shooter turret, we are the main carry!"
Stance ready, Qi Energy launched.
Blue Whale crashes through, Azure Dragon charges forward, Tigers dash and attack.
In an instant, the top combat power of players from Azure Star's Fiery Summer District and the elites of Narrative Civilization broke out into their first battle!
This is a historic moment.
"Lai Anding, Your Excellency—Strategist, you should take a look at this happening."
At Clever Network Headquarters, Lai Anding was interrupted while tasting coffee, she looked up at the rapidly rising live stream popularity and the discussions about "Starry Abyss" on other forums, smiling slightly.
"Don't worry, it's all arranged from above."
"But if this goes on and we still maintain media control, won't we miss a lot of traffic..."
"No need to worry, the goal has already been achieved."
Lai Anding smiled and said:
"We've arranged this to let players find loopholes themselves, to filter out the real elites. By that time, there will be more important tasks arranged for them."
"Really so..."
The subordinate hesitates.
At first glance, this is just a challenge initiated within players, but in reality, this is Primordial Abyss deploying Descenders after launching the "From Star Abyss" plan, facing off against Narrative Civilization for the first time.
This point, not needing Lai Anding to mention, others can also understand.
"The moment belonging to our Primordial Abyss has arrived."
Lai Anding said:
"Layer Abyss doesn't understand, as long as our players don't lose in this battle, it's a win. Even if they end up sneaking into Border Abyss, it means - our Primordial Abyss Descenders are stronger than the native nurtured Ascenders, Layer Abyss can only continue relying on our 'players' for protection."
"Do you know how superpowers plunder the weak? They don't directly slaughter and conquer but will step by step dump superior industrial goods, cultural products, and ideas, making people voluntarily convert, willingly spend money on imports, and ultimately become dependencies."
"Looking at it now, we've finally made the first move; whether Imperial youngsters are more formidable or our Samurais are braver."
Facing doubts from subordinates, Lai Anding was never worried, she simply laughed:
"Now, my children have already started entering the view of Narrative Civilization. Good, very good, getting better and better!"
"The first is Empire, I'm not surprised, they're also the best opponent, although Empire is strong, too young, just suitable for training, next is the Consortium and Temple, then it's Border Abyss four narratives, even Void will be taken down, our players are invincible, everything is under our arrangement—by the way, is there anything else?"
"Lai Anding, Your Excellency—Strategist Lady."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Lord Land Loyd also seems to be in the team. Is this also part of your arrangement?"
