First Diamond-tier Boss Kill!
The system announcement sent shockwaves across the globe.
—-
“What the hell?! A Diamond-tier first kill! We’re struggling with Gold-tier bosses, and Shadow is leagues beyond us!”
“All the top global teams are barely managing Platinum-tier bosses, and Shadow just scored the first Diamond-tier kill?!”
“Did anyone notice? Shadow brought teammates this time!”
“Of course I noticed! I was wondering why the prestige reward for such a high-difficulty global first kill seemed so low. Now I realize… it’s just that Shadow is unbelievably strong!”
“Exactly. For team kills, every member earns prestige, and it adds up. But before, all Shadow’s first kills were solo—he claimed it all!”

In Daxia, the announcement sparked pride and excitement among countless players.
Shadow was one of their own.
The presence of such a powerhouse meant Daxia could crush all competitors.
In this new era of Godforsaken Game, how far ahead would Daxia surge compared to other nations?
Meanwhile, in rival countries, players lamented the news on social media.
—-
“My God, Shadow did it again! Another first kill!”
“It’s a Diamond-tier boss this time. What’s next? I don’t even dare to imagine!”
“Shadow, come to our Great Cold Nation! We have so many beautiful women for you, smida!”
“Get lost! India has beautiful women too!”
“The silver lining here is that Shadow didn’t solo this time. He needed a team, which shows his limits.”
“Exactly! If even Shadow required teammates, it proves that Godforsaken Game isn’t just a solo game in the later stages.”

What they didn’t know was that during the kill, 99.9% of the damage came from Qin Feng.

Aboard the Flight to Washington, D.C.
Onboard a Colombia Airlines flight en route from Modu to North America, Theodore and his team were relaxing.
Having phased out of the Inferno Volcano and logged off, their consciousness returned to the plane.
—-
Zuma: “Haha, I still can’t believe that Daxia official helped us. It’s hilarious!”
Fury: “I’m suspicious about why their female captain suddenly targeted Zuma, silencing him. Could she have caught on to our plan?”
Amos: “She probably noticed me building walls behind them to block the passage.”
Theodore: “Doesn’t matter. They’re trapped inside. That 36-million-HP Diamond-tier boss has been activated. Even Shadow can’t possibly kill it before their Nightmare Meters hit 100%…”
—-
Before Theodore could finish, the global system announcement for the Diamond-tier first kill echoed in their minds.
???
The team collectively froze, a series of question marks flashing in their thoughts.
“What the f*?!”
Amos couldn’t help but yell aloud, eyes wide in disbelief.
He wasn’t the only one.
When the announcement played, the hundreds of passengers on the plane fell into stunned silence before breaking into murmurs.
The most shaken, of course, were Theodore and his group.
The seasoned diplomat, who’d just been confidently declaring the impossibility of the feat, was struck speechless.
It was a public slap to the face.
“Impossible. Absolutely impossible!”
“In such a short time… 36 million damage?!”
“What about the mechanics? The invincibility phases? Don’t tell me a Diamond-tier boss doesn’t have mechanics!”
Their disbelief turned to self-doubt as the realization sank in.
Though they had escaped unharmed, failing to eliminate Shadow meant their plan had utterly failed.

While the world buzzed with fervent discussion, Qin Feng remained calm.
To him, this Diamond-tier boss was merely the starting point of the game.
“Good thing the boss’s evasion isn’t too high. My accuracy adjustment hits 100%.”
“Otherwise, calculating damage with such precision would’ve been tricky…”
Watching the boss’s health bar empty as the system announcement played, Qin Feng finally relaxed.
What appeared effortless—his seamless execution—was underpinned by razor-sharp calculations.
This was the art of damage.
Had they followed the normal mechanics, Qin Feng estimated he could’ve survived, but the others would have succumbed to the nightmare mechanic, leaving the team to collapse.
Late Night Light Rain and the others were left in awe, watching Qin Feng’s explosive burst.
“Come down and loot the items. Be careful not to fall into the magma,” Qin Feng instructed through the team channel.
He then activated Greedy Hand.
The rewards were spectacular: 10+ Epic-tier items and 30+ Diamond-tier items.
A monumental harvest.
If Qin Feng fully absorbed these rewards, his power would soar to unprecedented heights.
The most immediate benefit?
The possibility of obtaining Legendary-tier gear or skill books.
Even Qin Feng’s prized Mercy Execution was only an Epic-tier skill at its base level.
Legendary-tier skills could evolve to surpass Mythical-tier and potentially reach the Ancient-tier.
In his previous life, Qin Feng had found the term “Ancient-tier” odd—it seemed less impressive than “Mythical-tier.” But over time, he’d grown accustomed to it.
Ancient-tier items were exceedingly rare.
Even after nine years, Qin Feng had only ever acquired two.
Most top-tier players worldwide wielded a mix of Legendary and Mythical gear.
Ancient-tier? Almost unattainable.
But Qin Feng didn’t immediately process the loot.
Instead, he turned to Late Night Light Rain.
“Let’s log off now.”
“Contact the officials and get me the flight path of Theodore’s plane. I’ll take care of them.”
Late Night Light Rain’s eyes brightened before furrowing slightly.
“But that flight is part of a political exchange… It’s not just North Americans onboard. There are Daxia citizens too. And there’s another flight carrying Daxia diplomats returning from North America. If you take down that plane, it could start a global war…”
Qin Feng shook his head.
“Don’t worry. I’ll only deal with those six. No collateral damage. Besides, if I hadn’t been prepared, we’d all be dead right now.”
“Frankly, killing just the six of them isn’t enough. The rest is up to your officials. Daxia’s tradition is to leave no loose ends, isn’t it?”
Late Night Light Rain froze but quickly understood his meaning.
Theodore, Zuma, Fury… those six players had orchestrated the trap.
If not for Shadow’s overwhelming strength, the entire team would’ve perished in the volcano.
How many lives would have been lost?
The six culprits needed to be eliminated.
And what about their families?
In this era, the old saying “family shouldn’t be implicated” might no longer apply.
To uproot the problem, one must destroy it entirely.
