MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

On the second day of the Throne-claiming War, the Three Major Guild Alliance’s offense had practically fallen apart. The small scuffles never stopped, but the large-scale charges were more or less gone.

The Three Major Guild Alliance had lost, and they lost spectacularly. After one day and one night of battling the Iron Alliance, they did not even make it into the Celestial Capital in the end. Apparently, Defiantly Tyrannical was so angry that he fell sick and was bedridden.

The Three Major Guild Alliance had suffered devastating losses, and in comparison, the Iron Alliance had not lost quite as much. After all, the Iron Alliance members could still claim some Meritorious Value, but the Three Major Guild Alliance did not have anything.

On the third day, there were barely even any sparks of battle left. Defiantly Tyrannical logged off, and Defiant Zephyr tried to regroup, but the results were even more pathetic. He could not even gather 100,000 people, and they were annihilated as soon as they ran to the outskirts of the Celestial Capital.

The final result was set in stone. In truth, even if the Iron Alliance did not stand in their way, there was no way they would be able to traverse the Arrow Tower area regardless. Besides, there were still 500 spirit knights beyond the Arrow Tower area. The two levels of defence meant that Defiant Zephyr’s group could no longer pose a threat.

There were now 5 minutes until the end of the Throne-claiming War!

Li Yi lifted his bow and loosed another few arrows, killing the King’s Soul.

“Sob… I am the Eternal King, and no one can take the throne away from me…”

The King’s Soul wailed out one last line and vanished forever.

The rainbow-lettered system notification appeared!

[Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the entire Iron Alliance, the Former King’s Corrupted Soul has been killed by the player Dark Wing. The people have woken from a daze, and are currently cheering Long Live the King!]

[Hurry, put on the Imperial Crown and ascend the throne!]

The 500 spirit knights vanished, as did the hundreds of Arrow Towers outside.

Li Yi picked up the crown and put it on his head.

The rainbow-lettered notification began to sparkle…

[With the adoration of the people, player Dark Wing has become the King of the Eastern Continent. Let us celebrate his ascension!]

[With the adoration of the people, player Dark Wing has become the King of the Eastern Continent. Let us celebrate his ascension!]

[With the adoration of the people, player Dark Wing has become the King of the Eastern Continent. Let us celebrate his ascension!]

There was a spam of the rainbow-lettered notifications as they appeared one after the other, the system’s methods hyping up the Pantheon players as well.

They started from Level 1, grinding levels and running dungeons, farming monsters and fighting bosses, competing with each other this whole time. There were thousand of bosses and thousands of dungeons, but there could only be one King of the Continent!

Wearing the crown on his head, Li Yi walked out of the Imperial Palace Hall. The Military Advisor and the Great Lord Knight had respawned, and when they saw him, they immediately bowed down in respect. The Celestial Capital’s Friendly NPCs had also returned, all kneeling as they cried, “Long live the King!”

Such was the glory of the King of the Continent!

The Throne-claiming War was over!

The first thing Li Yi did as King was to set restrictions on the Three Major Guild Alliance!

Every member of the Three Major Guild Alliance had to pay 100% more tax. Every member of the Three Major Guild Alliance did not have the right to use the major cities’ teleportation system. Every member of the Three Major Guild Alliance would be treated as traitors at the Celestial Capital, so anyone could kill them without fearing the punishment of getting a red name!

These were the King’s rights!

After Li Yi used the King’s rights to restrict the Three Major Guild Alliance, he immediately did something else mind-boggling.

He passed the throne to Invincible Jiaojiao.

The rainbow-lettered notification appeared once more!

[The King of the Eastern Continent has grown weary of conflict and passed the throne to Invincible Jiaojiao!]

[With the adoration of the people, player Invincible Jiaojiao has become the Queen of the Eastern Continent!]

One person’s glory meant that everyone around him shared in the limelight as well!

If Dark Wing had not passed the throne to Jiaojiao, she would never have been able to become Queen directly with her current Reputation Value from the major cities.

“P-P-Perverted… What are you doing? Why have I become Queen?” Jiaojiao stared at the gold-colored ‘Queen’ title above her head, so shocked she could not even properly string sentences together.

“I just wanted to help you fulfill your wish, that’s all.”

“I… I never said I wanted to become Queen, I…” Jiaojiao was stunned.

“Your Majesty, bestow upon me a kiss!”

Just outside the Palace, under the gazes of the many players, Li Yi gave Jiaojiao a tight hug.

The cheers and whistles resounded in the air.

Li Yi’s actions were very much a public declaration of his feelings. With this, he was recognizing Jiaojiao as his true girlfriend.

Jiaojiao mumbled as she glared at him, “Let go, let go… Mmrgh, my mom’s in my room, and the screen in still up. Do you wanna die?”

“Let’s get married.”

“Hah?”

“Let’s get married!”

Jiaojiao shook her head, stammering, “I… I’m still underage, no… n-n-no way.”

“Let’s get married in the game!”

“That works?” said Jiaojiao, surprised.

“Of course!”

Jiaojiao pouted. “It’s too fake in-game. Either we get married for real, or we don’t at all.”

Jiaojiao gave Li Yi a sweet smile and brought her lips to his ear, whispering, “Wait a couple of years for me. I’ll definitely marry you!”

Before Li Yi could reply, Jiaojiao took the crown from her head and tried to put it on Li Yi’s. Unexpectedly, however, she failed.

System notification: [The Throne Succession Ceremony may only take place after at least one month!]

“I don’t wanna be Queen, aaaah! Perverted Wing, so many people are messaging me now! Also, look at the National Channel, d*mn those f*ckers, a bunch of people are saying that I got the throne for letting you f*ck me! Aaaaaah, I’m losing my mind, I wanna kill them all!”

On the National Channel, some players were congratulating Jiaojiao for becoming Queen, while others turned their noses up at her, and yet others just flamed her directly.

Of these, the members of the Three Major Guild Alliance were the ones who flamed Jiaojiao the hardest.

“So you can become Queen by sleeping with Dark Wing? Oh dear, looks like her thing sure is worth money.”

“Exactly, Queen Jiaojiao? Ptooey! Ain’t she just another wh*re? Nothing special about that.”

“Queen Jiaojiao, how much for one round? Can I go for half a round?”

“Queen Jiaojiao, is Dark Wing’s thing good enough for you? Do you like large ones? I got a real big one right here, coulda bite it for me?”

…

The one thing this game never lacked was players who could not keep their mouths shut…

Li Yi only smiled at this. “You can only switch back after one month, so just stay Queen for now. If anyone p*sses you off, you can just mute them so they can’t use the National and World Channels for a while.”

“Mute! Mute! Mute!”

The King had many rights. Jiaojiao just had to point her finger several times and soon she had muted several hundred players. However, the effect of the muting was not ideal because there were simply too many people in the Three Major Guild Alliance.

“Gimme an official position, one in administration. Make me the Chief Executive.”

It was quite simple to operate the King’s rights. Jiaojiao just had to pass the position of Chief Executive to Li Yi.

Li Yi’s title became Chief Executive and he immediately issued an order.

He gave the order to all the Chief Executives in the major cities, making them forbid all citizens from defaming the country’s officials.

This way, the Queen no longer needed to mute everyone. Once the major cities’ NPC officials rallied together to carry out this order, they would immediately punish anyone who was discovered defaming national officials!

One person’s glory was shared by all. That was just how unbalanced the Pantheon country system was!
