Chapter 291: So It Was the Supreme Who Acted
Thus, the entire group that besieged the Twilight Guild was completely annihilated!
Except for one lucky fellow who hadn't arrived yet—he was captured by the Supreme and taken as a slave, still flying in the sky watching the battle.
Sterl slowly dissolved the Flowing Water Blades, turning them into wisps of steam in mid-air.
At this moment...
The many players present exchanged glances, looking at each other. Finally, they seemed to have figured things out!
Just now...
A demigod attempted to attack the third-class guild leader, only to have his skill shattered by the water-like blades. Simultaneously, the Flowing Water Blades began attacking all the demigods on the field, slaughtering them all.
The few demigods with resurrection abilities fled desperately.
At this point, the Supreme appeared! The players of the Hall of Valor generally had keen discernment and could recognize the aura of a Supreme.
After blocking the demigods, the Supreme allowed the Flowing Water Blades to finish them off. Thus, there was only one possible conclusion—
Everything that happened was the work of the Supreme. He acted to protect the guild leader of the Twilight Guild and slaughtered the others; the Flowing Water Blades were his doing.
As for the reason...
A quick analysis by those present made it clear: even a Supreme, no matter how powerful, could be harmed by a joint attack from over a dozen demigods. So, he preemptively killed the demigods' ambush, saving the life of the third-class guild leader.
This would ensure the guild leader would obediently offer up the guild.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit strange.
But then the players, including the legendary players from the demigod guilds, began to cheer loudly.
"As expected of the Supreme! Such powerful strength!"
"Those demigods were bullying the weak, and the Supreme decisively acted, bringing justice to the Hall of Valor."
"Could this be a perfect-level Flowing Water Law? Truly awe-inspiring!"
...
The players' acting skills were impeccable; each one seemed to genuinely admire the Supreme.
It appeared they had long been dissatisfied with the demigods' actions but were too weak to do anything about it. Now, seeing someone act righteously, they were immensely grateful!
Even the members of the Twilight Guild, regardless of whether this newly appeared Supreme intended to take over the guild, quickly offered their thanks.
"Thank you, my lord, for your assistance!"
"Our guild was nearly forcibly taken."
...
Each one expressed their gratitude, their expressions quite sincere.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the field turned harmonious.
Everyone was extremely thankful to the Supreme.
Everyone was deeply appalled by the actions of the previous demigods. Now, after enduring through the hardships, they have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, as the Supreme Lord has come to deliver justice!
However, amidst this atmosphere, there were two individuals who felt extremely out of place.
It wasn't Sosia and Sonis; for the safety of their guild and their master, they also praised the Supreme a bit.
Of the two uncomfortable individuals, the first was the Supreme himself, feeling both uneasy and panicked.
He was uneasy because he had twice tried to make a move but had to hold back—he simply couldn't act!
At the same time, he stared at the "Eye of the Raven" on his status panel, feeling that something was amiss.
"Eye of the Raven" was an extremely rare platinum-tier scouting skill that required Insight Law to learn.
The Supreme had spent a considerable amount of Valor Contribution Points specifically for this skill, training his Insight Law to a fragmented state.
Previously, "Eye of the Raven" had helped the Supreme discover numerous hidden missions, plots, and enemies without fail.
But today, despite maintaining "Eye of the Raven" for a long time, he still couldn't find out which hidden powerhouse had unleashed the Flowing Water Blades, making him very uneasy!
The other uncomfortable person, needless to say, was Sterl!
He had initially heard the surrounding exclamations of astonishment, thinking he had once again perfectly executed his act of pretense—
A dramatic reversal, where the once arrogant demigods were all slaughtered by the weak third-class "David"!
Sterl was ready to reveal that David was actually a guise for a powerful entity behind the Twilight Guild.
That way, it wouldn't seem too absurd.
But the result was...
It had nothing to do with him!
Everyone thought it was the newly appeared so-called Supreme who had resolved everything.
Sterl was dumbfounded!
The surrounding players all looked at the Supreme with extreme reverence, but when they looked at the Twilight Guild and its guild leader, they were still full of disdain and contempt.
Damn it.
Do I have to keep being looked down upon today!!
Sterl was furious!
So, the scene fell into a strange atmosphere. Sterl, caught off guard, was forced to think about how to act in a more impressive manner.
The Supreme was even more panicked, feeling immense psychological pressure without discovering the hidden enemy.
The Hall of Valor was filled with countless powerful beings. If he, as a Supreme, thought he could crush everything, he might meet a very tragic end...
He tightened his aura, fearing an ambush.
And seeing the Supreme not moving, who else dared to move?
They could only stand there with awkward smiles, frozen in place.
Luckily, the stalemate was broken after a second or two.
In an attempt to curry favor, the legendary players from the demigod guilds stepped forward and approached Sterl: "Why are you still standing there?"
"The Supreme saved you."
"Hurry up and offer the guild. You should know, a third-class guild isn't something you can keep!"
Finally, it hit the right note!
Sterl's eyes flashed with a hint of delight.
In this situation, the Supreme would start demanding the guild. If I outright refused, he would get furious, and I could counterattack and shock everyone...
Hmm?
To Sterl's surprise, the Supreme hesitated to make a move, instead looking into the void for some reason.
"There should be another friend present, right? I wonder if you are the protector of the Twilight Guild."
"Would you care to show yourself, friend?"
"Why don't you come out, friend?"
The Supreme stood there like a fool, inviting several times but getting no response.
As a result, the expressions of the crowd gradually turned odd...
What? The Supreme is being so polite—is there really another powerful figure?
They all looked around nervously, afraid that the hidden powerhouse might be a threat to them, while also showing respectful expressions.
The players didn't think the newly appeared figure was a backup for the Twilight Guild.
After all, if that were the case, wouldn't it be better to reveal themselves directly? Why hide?
This time, the players present didn't target the Twilight Guild or Sterl; they simply ignored them completely!
"I..." Sterl couldn't take it anymore and finally took the initiative to walk toward the Supreme.
However, the Supreme didn't even glance at him; he was busy looking for the hidden enemy!
At this moment, Sterl waved his hand, activating various buffs, and his body began to glow.
In that short moment, he had replenished his energy to its peak using his energy storage pool. Now, almost face-to-face, the Supreme's expression changed because he could clearly feel that the Flowing Water Blades, which had slaughtered those demigods, were indeed activated by this third-class guild leader.
"How despicable!"
"You actually launched a sneak attack!?" The Supreme's face was full of righteous indignation. He couldn't believe this third-class had hidden so deeply to set him up.
Sterl: "???"
Didn't I act right in front of you?
The first wave of the Flowing Water Blades' attack did not succeed.
The Supreme didn't rush to retaliate; he used some skill to dodge to the side, avoiding the cutting blades.
At the same time, he shouted, "I never expected, never expected that it was you, the guild leader, who hid the deepest."
"You single-handedly killed those demigods earlier."
"But... do you know the difference between a Supreme and a demigod?"
The Supreme, trying to display the demeanor of a powerful figure, was also extremely vigilant, watching Sterl carefully.
Forget demigods—even legendary figures have a certain aura that marks their presence in the world. But this guild leader had hidden so thoroughly.
There must be a secret behind this person!
The Supreme started imagining scenarios in his mind.

But his words left everyone present completely dumbfounded.
Wait, what did you say?
You mean to tell us that the previously slaughtered demigods were killed by this weakling guild leader of the Twilight Guild, and not by you, the Supreme?
"Is that for real? No way, right?"
"Did we hear wrong, or did the Supreme just misspeak?"
"It kinda looks like it, though. That guild leader's aura is really strong!"
...
The crowd was abuzz with skepticism, not quite believing what they were hearing.
Even the members of the Twilight Guild were looking around suspiciously, thinking they must have misheard.
At this moment, Sterl no longer had to worry about being looked down upon by others because he was preoccupied. He was facing off against the so-called number one below the gods: the Supreme-level combatant.
The pressure was immense, and he felt as if his life could be taken at any moment.
In fact, that was precisely the case. The Supreme let out a cold laugh, a strange platinum light glowing from his body. This was the manifestation of his perfected Law, gradually transforming into Divine Power.
Even before the move fully formed, Sterl felt as if he were being suppressed by countless chains in an abyssal prison, his strength completely drained.
Simultaneously, a vast power from above pressed down, clearly the "strongest" form of a platinum-tier skill—the perfect form.
Sterl had no desire to dodge; he could only submit to what seemed like certain death.
This power was only slightly weaker than the Heavenly Curtain Mechanism of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon, but still something that no non-Divine Power being could withstand!
Sterl could barely muster the energy to activate his skills.
But without a doubt, in this situation, even if he unleashed his skills, they couldn't possibly contend with the incoming platinum-tier skill.
It seemed he was doomed unless he used Divine Power.
However, Sterl remained exceptionally calm. He merely slightly invoked the power of the Arcane curse Law within him—
Silent Domain.
The End of All Things.
