Chapter 362 Deed is Done
The battle against Odin was completely one-sided, but as Alex was doing this to make a statement and not humiliate the most respected guild, he did put up some struggle even though he could have ended the battle with just his sword in mere moments.
Alex used his chaos manipulation and his enhanced control over the element to create tendrils that ripped apart any elemental attack thrown at him while he showed his skills with the sword.
Odin, seasoned by years of battles, recognized that Alex wasn't using his full strength as, within a few clashes of their weapons, he realized his inferiority in all aspects of strength.
Yet the man had a wide smile on his face like he was enjoying every moment of the battle, not showing any anger or desperation Alex expected from a prideful figure like him after he figured that battle was lost cause.
The battle concluded at 58 seconds, with Alex using the phantom sword flash and delivering multiple slashes on all exposed, and as Odin's health plummeted to zero, his last words were let's fight again.
The whole player base was left shocked at how easily Alex killed the man they believed to be the strongest, and besides a few nicks on his pristine armor and a few wounds, he stood unharmed, his health not even drooping by a tenth.
Silence engulfed the whole city as they saw their guild master's body crumble into light while the three guild elders stood, their eyes filled with shock and aura palpable with the seething rage they felt.
Loki, a man of mystery as even Alex knew nothing about him besides him being the first guild elder, whispered a few words to his fellow elders before he appeared before him.
"There is a mystery to your organization's origin and strength, but you are not on a level that you people make yourself appear at because if you were the real deal, you would know about the big picture and wouldn't be manipulated so easily," Loki said, through telepathy his voice echoing in Alex mind.
Alex tried seeing the status of Loki, but all he was able to see was that he was at early fifth Rank and his name while everything else was a question mark, which was a surprise to him as he was able to even see the full status of Odin using his eyes of the ancient.
Alex did not feel any threat from Loki, but the words he left him before he vanished seemed to hint at something big that he was completely unaware of, and they just gave him a bad feeling, not leaving his mind as he even saw the two puppets turn the city into rubble.
As Alex said in the start, after the city was nothing more than rubble, he moved to the city of Olympus, and having seen what he was capable of, the Olympian guild sent one of their lower-ranking member, and the same scenario was repeated at the city of Heliopolis.
---------------
"Now that this work is done, I will start by sharing information about the Malefis Domain and its future," Alex said, standing above the rubble of the once-thriving city of Heliopolis.
"Everyone watching should know why the Malefis Domain is special and also that the only way to enter is by using the entry token that could be created by the Domain Ruler, who is a respected member of my organization,"
"The few among you with a brain should also have figured it out that a price is needed to be paid to acquire the domain tokens,"
"So there would never be enough tokens to make the domain available to even the 10% of players, and it would stay as such for the foreseeable future because opening the domain to everyone is a decision only the Domain Guardian could make,"
"While it is also true that we have made a contract with five well-known factions to allow them entry into the domain at a steep price, and you can see the contract conditions on the screen," Alex said as he shared a simplified version of the details but withholding the sensitive information and waited for a few seconds before continuing.
"As You can see, the contract lasts for three years, and we don't plan to dissolve it no matter what anyone has to offer."
"But there are ways that few lucky individuals who are also talented?among you can enter the domain."
"The first way is to join my organization, while the second is to be talented enough to meet the set conditions and then be lucky enough to be picked by Zero,"
"You can visit my organization website to learn about the details," Alex said, with a smile as he shared the web link that he had already fully set up before he ended the live stream.
Alex left the area, and minutes later, he received a call from Andrei, who just laughed as he congratulated him on his victory against Odin and told him how he looked incredible.
While he was being praised, Venedikt joined them, and the next few minutes were spent chatting on the topic before the discussion slowly shifted toward the topic of organization.
Andrei left the call while Venedikt shared that, as Alex expected, the five factions had made it clear that they would not stand with them in the war they had started while also raising no issue with him allowing any player entry into the domain.
Alex hasn't discussed with the five factions about these plans, and even Venedikt only knew some vague details, not because he didn't trust his brother, but because he didn't just want to give him another headache to worry about, at least not until it was needed.
The day Alex acquired the domain entry tokens, he knew that it was required of him as the Ruler to give access to the domain to as many players as possible so that they could solve many of the issues domain inhabitants were facing.
While the players would also earn him a continuous stream of Ruler coins, Alex knew if he played his card right beside earning the coins, he could also immensely profit from this opportunity.
So Alex had a plan, with the first step being to make a deal with a few prominent factions, and today, he executed the second and final step of his plan.
Now, not only did he complete his duty as a Ruler, but he also created a program that would make his organization not only the strongest but also the richest.
Alex knew there would be consequences for his actions, but even if he didn't do things the way he did, there still would have been consequences, albeit a little less serious than they were going to be.
The only way to avoid the consequences was to lose his freedom and pledge allegiance to the big powers.
However, After a lifetime of keeping his head down and receiving a second chance and all the gifts, he would be dammed if he decided to answer to some bastard ever again.
The website that Alex directed all the player base to had all the public information about the domain, a full map with all the territories marked, the benefits, and everything else, and even some videos.
The next thing was the detailed method of hidden Rank promotion, and also the requirements to join his organization, and the benefits the new members would gain.
The other was the feature "eligibility check," where any player could click, and Zero would see if they meet the set requirements, and if they do, they will enter a list of candidates.
In the next stage, those among them who were skilled with great achievement, all evaluated by Zero, would be picked and given an agreement to sign, and if they agreed, they would be given a domain entry token.
The players were required to pay 30% of what they earned from the domain for life, while the requirement to be eligible was to be a fourth-Rank individual.
The talent requirement was not just limited to strength, as being above average in anything was good enough, with few having priority over the others.
Alex needed to pay a billion every year in galactic coins to keep the web active to Zero, and he had no choice because players only trusted Zero to share their secrets and expected him to keep them hidden.
As for how Alex could give entry to anyone without breaking the contract, it was because the contract prevented him from giving entry to guilds, not individuals. The only issue was the number of outsider participants could not exceed the number of five faction faction members.
This would lead to Alex effortlessly attracting the most exceptional talents for his organization, while the five factions would also profit in the process, but he would be the ultimate victor.
However, like everything, all this had a price, which was Alex and his enterprise becoming a target and threat, and the people in power would make sure that they would do everything they could to tear him down piece by piece.
This was also the reason why Alex decided to put on the biggest show he could, to remove any doubts that the enterprise was weak and achieved all he planned.
Alex also knew that a war was coming, and he had some plans to handle it, but he was unaware that all his plans were going down the drain in forty-eight hours and things were going to get tough.
