But just as Apophis was about to press "Accept..." His finger froze. Apophis stared at his hand in confusion. "What the—" He collapsed to the ground, filled with horrific pain. A pool of red trickled into the edge of the water right in front of his face, clouding it, and Apophis realized his eyes were bleeding. "What's… happening to me..." Enclabossa's voice came into his head. Its tone was strange, a mix of apology and condescension. "I am sorry, my Lord. I'm afraid I cannot let you do…-

Apophis woke up in an unknown place. A plain of emerald grass stretched out before him as far as the eye could see. Everything was beautiful, not just the grass. The sky was clear blue, the vegetation was dense and vibrant, and a gentle breeze touched his skin. It was a real paradise. Apophis got up from where he was sprawled on the ground… and noticed something odd. He was completely naked. He immediately opened his character menu to see if everything was…

Coalition flagship Lotus sat in the commander's chair, keeping her expression as calm and professional as possible. Around her were standing several dozen official guild representatives… and, of course, the five star players who had been assigned to this great mission. Lotus turned to one of the officers. "Have you been able to establish chat contact with any player on the planet?" The officer shook his head. "Not yet, Ma'am. We probably need to get even closer to the planet first." Lotus nodded.…

Ceasar had just emerged from behind some rubble… …And there were over a thousand high-level players behind him. "White?!" Ceasar asked in disbelief. "White from Eclipse? What the hell are you doing here?" Of course, White was also quite surprised to see Ceasar! White "I could ask you the same thing!" Ceasar snorted. "Let's just say it's because of your guild leader that I'm stuck here. I assume that bastard isn't far away?" White replied, "That's none of your business!" Ceasar equipped his huge…

Terra—Underground Parking Garage Everyone was amazed at Hulk's story. Apophis had been captured? How could someone like him, someone who had always been so far-sighted and strategic, fall into such an obvious trap? Jiraya was there, and he crossed his arms in frustration. "How could this happen? Damn it!" ThreeDog said, "Yeah, I can't figure it out at all. It's so stupid to go alone onto an Imperial battleship that it just makes no sense." Hulk said, "I think that's the key. It seems so stupid on…

*** Real world...One day before... All the guild leaders who were part of the coalition's defense council received an invitation to a video conference in the real world, this kind of conference was extremely rare, because it was already necessary to have thousands of guild leaders disconnecting at the same time and reuniting in front of their computer screens on VPN-Discord, an anonymous video chat platform, because that was the second problem, the anonymity... Unlike star players like Lucifer or Cesar,…

The subway station shook from the massive bombardment that was taking place outside. About a thousand Renovatio Imperii players huddled underground, still trying to make sense of the events following their deaths. Tiberius asked, "What the hell is going on? Why is the damned Federation attacking us? We're on the same side!" Suddenly, both Ceasar and Tiberius received an alarming set of notifications through their guild menus. Tiberius, who was the highest ranking officer of Renovatio Imperii behind…

Terra—Temple of Valor One week before the battle of Terra It had been several days since players began reappearing at the Temple of Valor. Since Cronos I was a war zone, players partaking in the battle were forced to respawn in the temple, rather than back on the planet, so that the battle wouldn't simply continue forever. Unfortunately, the temple had been destroyed during Azerof's initial attack against Terra, and the game hadn't assigned a new respawn zone. Millions of players had already…

As the communication ended, Apophis's mind was already racing at full speed. Was Azerof telling the truth? Did he really have Antanria?! Moreover, did he really want to convince Apophis to work for him again, or did he simply consider Apophis to be an enemy too dangerous to be left free. Was this simply a trap meant to put Apophis in a prison he could never escape? What should he do now? But no matter how much he tried to think strategically, one question kept repeating over and over in Apophis's head:…

After getting rid of the interceptor fleet, Apophis's squadron headed towards the Federation mega-cruiser. Apophis broadcasted his military code, hoping to avoid any interference before getting close to the capital ship, but there was no immediate sign that this would pay off. He had no idea if the code was even still valid! But the closer he got to the stellar battle, the more dizzying it became. Warships were destroying each other all over the planet's atmosphere, and there was a frenzied viciousness…
