Seeing that Zheng Ruiyuan was about to put on a show of the old bow overpowering the king, he certainly couldn't sit still and wait for death. At this moment, the thunderclouds in the sky flickered with lightning. He channeled his Thunder Spiritual Power and, using the method of Summoning a Thousand Thunders, drew the lightning overhead down onto the deck.

The lightning struck the fourth level of the deck with a bang. The Celestial Thunder inherently had a restraining effect on evil spirits, and combined with Wu Chang's Thunder Spiritual Power's Break Evil, it stunned Zheng Ruiyuan for a moment.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Wu Chang quickly retreated, shouting, "Move!"

With Wu Chang's command issued, shadows lifted from the edges of the fourth level deck, and Shadow, Sword Star, Negotiation Master, True Self, and Fisherman charged out, launching an assault on Zheng Ruiyuan.

Zheng Ruiyuan's side was also prepared. A massive Magic Array lit up on the fourth level deck, and the figure of the Secret Ceremony Master descended from the sky.

The Secret Ceremony Master waved the Conductor's Baton in his hand, and a circular light shield rose around the deck, enclosing everyone within it.

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

The commotion caused by the Secret Ceremony Master was huge, but he didn't notice the red flaw that appeared on the ground at the edge of the fourth level deck, on the circular light shield.

Soon after, the flaw on the light shield expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, like toilet paper soaked with water.

Glancing down, the Secret Ceremony Master discovered that the thing devouring the magic light shield was actually a mass of endlessly reproducing and expanding flesh. The one releasing this flesh, Ma Jia, was just withdrawing his hand from the light shield and looking up to give the Secret Ceremony Master a smile.

Since the light shield already had a breach, there was no point in keeping it intact.

The Secret Ceremony Master waved the Conductor's Baton, decisively shattering the light shield. The broken light shield fragments condensed and shrank, transforming into seventeen or eighteen Energy Arrows, their arrowheads aimed right at Ma Jia.

However, before the Energy Arrows could launch a salvo, a giant black wolf leaped from the deck into the air, pouncing on the Secret Ceremony Master and dragging him down to the sixth level of the Star Jump.

"Don't get distracted; our battle isn't over yet!"

As the battle progressed to this stage, it left no room for the various forces to waver or hold back their power. Even Park Changmin, who didn't want to oppose Wu Chang, had to rally the remaining players from Mid Country and the military forces to join the battle.

On the other side, under Wu Chang's command, the players borrowed from Li Yubin's side also joined in the battle, confronting players like Cowboy and Stone Golem.

The players from the allied forces on the Star Jump now almost appeared on the fourth level deck, participating in this chaotic fight.

Wu Chang had his own people, like Sword Star, and joined forces with the Revelation and Li Yubin factions. Meanwhile, the New Cosmos Sect aligned themselves with the navy and Mid Country forces.

Both sides formed a 3-on-3 situation, each faction revealing their trump cards and going all in on this melee.

All the players felt a mutual understanding, that they must settle the victory among the factions tonight.

This was precisely what Wu Chang wanted—to completely resolve the onboard power struggle before the Star Jump left the Shipwreck Belt.

For him, leaving the Shipwreck Belt and entering the Terminal Sea Region was the most important boss battle. To prevent any stray cats and dogs from interfering at the crucial moment, he needed them to exit the scene first.

The intense battle on the fourth level deck raged fiercely, with everyone fighting from the deck to the sea, and from the sea back to the sky. Various abilities and Energy light effects flew everywhere, like a popcorn movie with full special effects.

The players were so engrossed in the battle that for a moment, it seemed like they had overshadowed the original instigator of the fight, Zheng Ruiyuan and Wu Chang, who had transformed into Li Zaisi.

As if to reclaim the stage for the God and to make the players realize who the true master of the Star Jump was, the moon symbol in Zheng Ruiyuan's eyes flickered, and he wielded the Power that belonged to Leman.

Warning sirens blared in Wu Chang's mind, his Inspiration almost frantically alerting him that danger was about to descend.

He looked at Zheng Ruiyuan and saw the silhouette of a heart within him. With each heartbeat, it released a profound and ominous energy.

He could be sure that the ability that formed that heart definitely came from Leman.

Just a glance at it made his Will Barrier feel a heavy pressure, with his Inspiration urging him to look away.

Only Wu Chang noticed Zheng Ruiyuan's movements; the other players on the deck remained oblivious.

However, they should consider themselves lucky because if they could see the heart behind Zheng Ruiyuan like Wu Chang did, the intense impact would shatter their wills in an instant, driving them to madness.

That's because the heart's silhouette, just like Leman's true form Wu Chang once saw, was not an actual entity but a collection of emotions.

Without a certain level of Life tier or Inspiration and Will, seeing this heart would be akin to facing Leman's true form.

After witnessing Leman's true form, Wu Chang gained the ability to visualize and interpret emotions. From this heart, he did not see any single emotion, but rather something indescribable.

Chaos.

The emotion contained within that heart was precisely chaos.

For energy that came directly from the Evil God, Wu Chang dared not be negligent. He abandoned his plan to stealthily attack players with a bat and focused all his attention on Zheng Ruiyuan.

The deep glow emitted by the heart's silhouette began to rapidly gather on the players' bodies, forming a shell-like halo.

Once the halo formed, it would pulsate according to the heartbeat's rhythm, dyeing the players' bodies with the color of chaotic emotion.
