Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

Some of the Ability Users who had regained their senses jumped to their feet.

The Tornado’s immense power had completely altered the terrain for dozens of kilometers around. One Ability User, who had been a fish farmer before inheriting his game abilities, even judged that it would only take some water to turn the area ahead into a massive lake...

"My—!!!!!"

But before they could recover from their shock, they saw the drone footage of Qing City Airport sent by Li Yunlong, and everyone’s scalps went numb.

Gone!

Everything was gone!

Qing City Airport, which had been teeming with endless Skeleton Monsters and covered in ruined buildings, now had nothing!

In its place was a gigantic, bottomless, inverted conical pit.

Based on estimations from the drone footage, the radius of the conical pit was at least a dozen kilometers. The world-ending pillar of light that had appeared out of nowhere had blasted a conical crater with a radius of over ten kilometers right into Qing City Airport.

A crater this enormous probably couldn’t be filled even with a dozen Mount Everests.

"What in the world is this!"

While everyone else was pale with shock and at a complete loss, Li Yunlong was even more panicked as he stared at the terrifying footage.

It’s too powerful! Based on the information I have, not even the most powerful Mushroom Bomb tests before the game ability inheritance could create a conical crater this large. The craters from the highest-yield mushroom tests aren’t even in the same order of magnitude as this one.

More importantly, I know the Earth is getting bigger, and its soil composition is getting tougher. To put it simply, the Earth’s Defense Power has also been rapidly increasing since the game abilities were inherited! To be able to blast such a huge crater into an Earth whose Defense Power has been enhanced many times over... I can’t even imagine how it was done.

And another thing, logically, the appearance of such a massive crater should have caused an earthquake and violent tremors. But under that pillar of light, the land and the Skeleton Monsters at the airport were simply wiped away. Despite such a huge topographical change, there were no seismic waves or anything of the sort. It was as if the land had been carved out by a knife. The immense amount of earth just vanished into thin air without causing any disturbance.

This terrified Li Yunlong even more.

"Old Li? What do we do?" a few minutes later, Father Shen interrupted Li Yunlong’s brooding.

From the appearance of the Tornado, to the Skeleton Monsters being blocked, to the world-ending pillar of light, Father Shen was also in a bit of a daze. When these powerful attacks had appeared, he had deliberately glanced back toward Qing City’s urban district, in the direction of his own villa.

But he didn’t see anything.

His fatherly sixth sense told him that this incident, once again, seemed... But he also remembered his son had said his Defense Tower’s maximum range was only a few kilometers.

Besides, Father Shen refused to believe his son’s Defense Tower could produce such devastating power.

If that were the case, what chance would anyone else have...

I need to be more low-key. I really thought my Golden Guardian was Invincible. I thought that after inheriting all thirty-two chess pieces, I’d be at the pinnacle of all Ability Users! But if this is the kind of power that’s out there, on the level of that Tornado... then I’m still just a scrub among scrubs...

Exchanging a glance with Uncle Sun, whose pupils had also widened in shock, Father Shen secretly admonished himself.

Originally, seeing how powerful his Soldier piece was, and bolstered by Li Yunlong’s compliments and the cheers from the young people at the Tourism Management Office, Father Shen had been very confident in his abilities. But having witnessed the previous scene, he didn’t dare say another word.

He didn’t dare say anything at all!

It’s too brutal! We’re not even in the same league!

Tonight was another sleepless night.

The reason for the sleeplessness wasn’t the second inheritance of game abilities. The reason was Qing City Airport.

Last night on the internet forums, the hottest topic was Qing City’s Golden Celestial Horse annihilating the White Fools. Tonight, everyone thought the hottest posts would be about the newly formed Tourism Management Offices showcasing their abilities and clearing out monsters.

But with the sudden eruption of the Undead Calamity in Qing City, everyone’s attention once again converged on Qing City Airport. Then, after witnessing the vast Water and Fire Tornado and the world-ending pillar of light that followed, Qing City Airport once again became the hottest topic online.

And it was leading the second-hottest topic by several hundred times.

Almost everyone was paying attention to the Water and Fire Tornado and the world-ending pillar of light at Qing City Airport. This included foreign countries where it was still daytime. Practically the entire world’s attention was focused on Qing City Airport because of Shen Fei unleashing the full power of his four Defense Towers.

Since last night, due to the early rollout of version 4.1, seven or eight monster tides had already appeared around the world. These monster tides had crushed everything in their path, unstoppable. All human cities within their range were wiped out, vanishing like smoke.

Qing City was the first, and only, city to have withstood a beast tide.

And it had done so with such decisiveness and ease.

With the fall of the world-ending pillar of light, the attention of the entire globe was captured. Being on the front lines of the battlefield, the members of the Qing City Tourism Management Office, who hadn’t retreated far from the ring road expressway, instantly became the center of public opinion. Those watching through video feeds were all desperate for firsthand information.

Li Yunlong’s phone, in particular, started ringing off the hook just moments after the world-ending pillar of light descended, and it didn’t stop. The few livestreams broadcasting from the front lines of Qing City’s monster tide defense were also instantly flooded with countless viewers.

Although the Water and Fire Tornado and the world-ending pillar of light had vanished, and although the endless tide of Skeleton Monsters had also disappeared, the vast landscape ahead—scoured clean by the Water and Fire Tornado to the point that the very ground level had dropped by several meters—still remained.
