118: Chapter 118 Gathering of All Parties!

"I heard that the Golden Cult hadn't produced a Golden-tier Fighter in decades, but in the last few years, twelve have appeared in succession."

"Yeah, this time they've sent four Golden Fighters directly. They are clearly determined to get the stone of god within the Rift of Time."

"That's not right. According to leaks from last year, someone saw a divine inheritance inside this world-class Dungeon, the Rift of Time."

"It's just that they tried everything they could and still couldn't obtain it."

"I think the Golden Cult sent four Golden Fighters this time most likely because they want to obtain that divine inheritance."

Many people whispered, engaging in low-toned discussions.

"The Golden Cult..." Milian's gaze grew a bit more solemn. "I didn't expect them to send such a luxurious lineup this time."

"What's the background of the Golden Cult?" Su Xiaoruan asked curiously, her eyes staring unblinkingly at the shimmering armor.

Milian lowered her voice and explained.

"The Golden Cult is one of the oldest and most powerful organizations in the Western Alliance. According to historical records, it was established by the first batch of awakened Professionals."

"They worship the Goddess of War and have twelve peerlessly powerful Golden Fighters under their command."

"People used to think it was just a legend, but in recent years, these so-called twelve Golden Fighters have actually all appeared one by one."

"Their formidable combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Professionals of the same level."

As Milian was explaining, the four Golden Fighters also leisurely looked toward Lu Yin.

"Ayuges, I sense a loathsome aura coming from that person."

Among them, a man whose golden battle armor had two ram horns spoke in a low voice.

"Leon, I feel it too. It's very similar to the aura of those guys from the Underworld."

The leader, Ayuges, glanced at Lu Yin, shook his head, and replied, "It's just somewhat similar, that's all."

"Our goal is to investigate whether there truly is a divine inheritance in the Rift of Time. Don't go looking for unnecessary trouble."

"If the rumors are true, then it's very likely to be..."

And while they were looking at Lu Yin, Lu Yin was also observing them.

These four Golden Fighters were all Level 59, exactly at the maximum level limit for this Rift of Time.

Clearly, they had planned for this Dungeon long ago.

To be more precise, they had long planned for that divine inheritance.

"It seems this world Dungeon is going to be really interesting," Lu Yin thought to himself.

Just then, another commotion broke out from the other side.

Four Professionals dressed in black robes walked over slowly. Each of them wore a silver-white mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

The leader was tall and held a staff embedded with a purple crystal.

"It's the Dark Moon Brotherhood!" someone whispered in alarm.

"Dark Moon Brotherhood?" Su Xiaoruan blinked. "What kind of organization is this?"

Milian's expression became even more solemn. "The Dark Moon Brotherhood is another powerful secret organization in the Western Alliance."

"They are the masters of the night, acting mysteriously and rarely appearing in public."

"I didn't expect them to show up here."

Ling Ying frowned upon hearing this. "It seems the opening of the Rift of Time has attracted quite a few shady characters."

Among the four from the Dark Moon Brotherhood, the tall woman in the lead suddenly turned her head.

Her cold gaze swept over Lu Yin and the others, finally resting on the dream god earring on Lu Yin's chest.

Although she was behind a mask, Lu Yin could sense a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"Interesting..." the woman murmured to herself, then led the Dark Moon Brotherhood members toward the other side of the registration area.

With the arrival of the Golden Cult and the Dark Moon Brotherhood, the atmosphere in the plaza grew increasingly tense.

Various groups sized each other up, a silent contest filling the air.

After Milian finished the registration, she pinned a silver badge to her chest. "This is the token to enter the Rift of Time. Everyone, put yours on."

Lu Yin took the badge. It was cool to the touch and engraved with complex space-time patterns.

He pinned the badge to his collar, but his gaze drifted involuntarily toward the silver crack suspended in mid-air.

"The Rift of Time will open in three hours," the registration staff reminded them. "Please make your preparations during this time."

Milian nodded and turned to the others.

"Let's find a place to rest first and adjust our condition."

"After entering the Dungeon, we'll likely face continuous battles. Are your recovery items fully prepared?"

"Of course. I used all my savings to buy Health Potions and items that boost defense and magic resistance."

"Whether we lose everything or return fully loaded depends on this gamble."

Su Xiaoruan replied with a smile.

Ling Ying also nodded slightly.

After all, world-class Dungeons were rare. This was a significant opportunity for the two of them, so they naturally wouldn't be negligent.

Lu Yin also indicated he had no problems. Although he hadn't prepared much,

He hadn't used a single one of the three Full Recovery Potions from before.

Afterward, the group found a relatively quiet corner to sit down.

Su Xiaoruan took out some food to share, while Ling Ying began checking her equipment.

Milian sat quietly, a look of contemplation in her eyes.

Lu Yin leaned against an ancient tree, closing his eyes to rest.

He could feel several gazes falling on him from time to time. Besides the people from the Golden Cult and the Dark Moon Brotherhood, there seemed to be other factions observing in secret.

After all, being in the West, it was hard not to be noticed when a few Asian faces suddenly appeared.

Moreover, Milian was very attractive, and both Su Xiaoruan and Ling Ying were quite beautiful as well.

Time passed minute by minute, and more and more people gathered in the plaza.

Professionals from different factions gathered in groups of three to five.

Occasionally, acquaintances would greet each other, but most people remained wary.

When the halo at the edge of the Rift of Time began to fluctuate violently, everyone stood up.

"It's about to open!" someone shouted.

The starlight stream within the silver crack accelerated its rotation, forming a massive vortex.

The intense space-time energy fluctuations made the air in the entire plaza tremble.

Milian stood up with a serious expression. "Get ready. Our teams will be randomly teleported to different areas."

"So we need to respond to various emergencies immediately."

"Okay!"

The three of them nodded simultaneously.

As the fluctuations of the Rift of Time's halo became more and more violent, the atmosphere in the entire plaza tightened to the extreme.

The starlight vortex within the silver crack suddenly accelerated its rotation, emitting a low hum as if countless space-times were trembling at once.

"It's coming, everyone mind your positions!" Milian barked, and the four of them immediately huddled together.

At that very instant, the silver crack suddenly burst with a blinding light, enveloping the entire plaza.

All the Professionals wearing silver badges felt a powerful suction coming from the crack, and their bodies were uncontrollably pulled into it.
