Wolf
It ends up taking the two of us about a minute or so to fly straight to the golden beacon. And when we arrive, we find a shiny and glowing golden crown at the bottom of said beacon. One that I immediately reach out and touch, making it disappear before reappearing above my head along with a notification.
Beta Administrator Dungeon Notification
Congratulations! You have claimed the crown!
Now you just have to hold onto it.
Should any of the following things happen to you, the crown will be taken away:
You die.
You get hit by twenty-five or more direct attacks from a single person.
Someone physically takes away the crown from you.
I raise a brow at those conditions before shrugging. Then I glance at Sapphire and the both of us nod in silent agreement.
Time for the real fun of this fifth.
I casually sit down on the crown with my legs crossed beneath me, following which I raise one hand and send out a large wave of lunar ice of eternity that then moves out all around us. Forming a large dome made out of my element. One that I also make go beneath us to completely seal us inside.
After finishing sealing us away inside of this lovely little igloo without any sort of entrance, I put my hands in my lap and wait for our lovely competitors to show up.
Which doesn’t take very long as dozens of them soon begin appearing. And none of them are shy when it comes to attacking our little igloo.
Not that it matters as their attacks don’t even so much as scratch the surface of my lunar ice of eternity.
More and more other competitors begin arriving one after another, all the way until there are thousands of them. Each of whom – except for the lunar winter beasts – are attacking the igloo with abandon.
All for naught as not a single one of their thousands of attacks even scratch it.
A grin stretches across my face.
So I was right!
I haven’t had too many chances to test out my lunar ice of eternity, but I was pretty sure this would work from what I have seen.
Just like with the old eternal ice, lunar ice of eternity can only be shattered when a single person’s strength is far greater than mind. Although what the exact cutoff is for what would shatter the ice, I’m not sure. I just know that it won’t shatter no matter how many people beneath said cutoff are attacking it at once.
And since it lost its weakness to fire, I don’t have to worry about someone trying to melt it.
Which, at the end of the day, means I’m going to be taking a nap here for a while.
Good thing I don’t really need oxygen anymore. I’m already too high a level for most of the old basic requirements to live.
So no food, no drink, no breathing, none of that is necessary for me anymore.
Eventually I watch Sapphire fall asleep amidst the dull sounds of attacks hitting the ice. At which point I lie down on my back myself and begin browsing through the System Forums to end my boredom.
Of course, the first threads I find are all about me. Many of which are actually discussing what’s happening right now.
There’s one titled ‘Winter Wolf takes a nap under bombardment’ which is amusing. And the thread is mostly a discussion group with a bunch of people talking about how it’s pretty much to be expected of me. With the livestream open at the top of the thread.
I close out of that thread before searching the other threads, just to find something rather interesting.
Apparently some of the other progenitors are starting to grow more active in The Reaper’s universe.
And more importantly, some of the other progenitors actually seem to be opening up their universe to The Reaper’s universe, allowing people to move freely between them. In exchange for being allowed to copy Grim’s system for their own use in their universe.
With their own changes of course.
So that’s interesting.
Other than that, both of the warring progenitors – Titania and Grim – are still going at it. And they’re getting allies to join them in their war.
Titania now has the Progenitor of Light on her side, a progenitor known by the name of Apollo. Meanwhile Grim has the Progenitor of Dark on his side, a progenitor known by the name of Nyx.
And those two progenitors also brought their own forces in to the war. Each bringing elementals into the grand battlefield realm that everyone is fighting in.
From what the System Forum threads state, the Progenitors of Dark and Light have a rather troubled history with each other. So they’re pretty antagonistic as well. And after the Progenitor of Light joined Titania’s side, it’s said – without anything confirming this – that the Progenitor of Dark straight up asked the Reaper if she could help him just to fight the Progenitor of Light.
Overall, it just made the war worse and lengthened how long it’ll last.
The only way the two will be able to shorten their war in my eyes is if one of them manages to bring in more progenitors on their side than the other has. And if they keep trying to bring in more progenitors, then this war is just going to grow in scale more and more until the universe itself may be at risk.
Although I do have to wonder what happens to me if The Reaper loses.
I know Titania promised to fulfil his promise should she win by reviving Lexi, but will she really do it?
If she does then I’ll be rather happy. Because I get the feeling the Beta Dungeon won’t be around much longer if The Reaper dies.
Assuming a progenitor can even die, since I’ve never heard anything about that before.
I yawn before glancing at the competitors still attacking the ice, with a large number of them having given up by now.
Almost forgot they were even here…
