Fate's Reversal: The Divines Return

....

Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!...

Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding…

Ding!Ding!...

Ding!...

Kaiden gawked as he received an ȯbsċėnė amount of system notifications. It was madness. His view was covered in multiple types of requests, notifications, receipts, etc. He was unable to process the sheer volume of alerts. As a result, Kaiden blanked for a moment; the dilemma was overwhelming.

[System: You are receiving a call from General Sonic. Will you be answering? (Y/N)?]

[System: You are receiving a call from Intact. Will you be answering? (Y/N)?]

[System: You are receiving a call from Hollow Stanc. Will you be answering? (Y/N)?]

[System: You are receiving a call from Gentle Whisper. Will you be answering? (Y/N)?]

[System: You are …

Moreover, the guild chat was extremely active as well. As he opened the guild chat he was bombarded by a wall of text which continuously shifted. In particular, MagicsSlave's IGN kept appearing repeatedly. What followed was an ocean's worth of swearing. Shockingly, Symbolic Soul was also swearing out of his mind.

Tapping the interface, Kaiden accepted all calls as a group. As such, before his vision, over 9 faces appeared before him. Notably, the background behind them was constantly shifting, symbolizing them being on the run.

"KAIDEN!" exclaimed General Sonic.

"KEY!" cried Gentle Whisper.

"Oh my god it's bad!" yelled Hollow Stance

"Oh fuċk! Guild Leader HELP!" swore MagicsSlave.

It was madness. As a result, Kaiden's stomach dropped. He felt it, he understood something unsettling happened. The feeling from earlier appeared once again. And this time it was ten-fold. Steeling himself with a cold gaze, Kaiden spoke.

"Calm down guys. What happened, what's the problem?"

"Kaiden! It's bad! There's... there are like 4 guilds! They're chasing us. No no, they're hunting us! They've already killed 35% of the members." cried Hollow Stance. .

"WHO!?" snarled Kaiden.

"It's these bastards from earlier the Warhead Syndicate leading! Then there's the Sunset Triad, Night Corps, Wizard Conglomerate, and the Despicable Outlaw! FUCK!" cursed MagicsSlave.

"Please help, Guild Leader. This is insane! I estimate at least 8,000 people have grouped together! We're sitting duc-..."

*CLANK*

Whilst Symbolic Soul spoke, he abruptly paused turning to around raise his shield. As a result, a dagger struck against it. However, that blow was unusually strong causing him to stagger. Their pursuers had caught up!

Gritting his teeth, Kaiden seethed with a toppling fury. Clenching his fist, his joint crackled as his ċhėst heaved. He was experiencing fury like no other. He hadn't openly provoked anyone nor could his movements be traced yet somehow his guild members were being targeted.

"Kaiden! It gets worse!! Sonic Star Media Group has just reported to me that people from Warhead Syndicate had paid them a visit. They were seeking information about you! Of course, there was nothing to give but... I fear that things are headed in a bad direction." trembled General Sonic.

"...!!" as his ċhėst heaved violently, Kaiden's figure trembled exaggeratedly as the veins in his forehead swell.

"Where are you guys!?" roared Kaiden. His voice sounded more like it came from a deranged demon. His people were being tormented! One thing he wouldn't accept was someone trying to trample upon his people.

"The central area of the Crescent Gale Valley! It's an ocean worth of people fol- *KYUHK*..." interrupted in speech, a broadsword slammed against Practice's back as he was sent flying into the air.

Witnessing these scenes, Kaiden's body trembled uncontrollably. Shifting his gaze, his eyes were turning crimson. Exhaling, his breath turned into a dense stream of vapor. Moreover, his lungs rumbled as the Elements in the area seethed.

Not to mention, the Sphere of Influence he disabled earlier was now leaking involuntarily. Taking slow and steady steps and that pierced the earth, the cliff trembled. His reasoning was fading as a potent rampage was taking place in his mind.

"Hold tight...I am coming. Hold on as long as you can." muttered Kaiden. But his voice no longer sounded human.

With the rumbling of his ċhėst and his blood crimson eyes—he looked like the incarnation of a devil! Not to mention, with his race change those features further accentuated this feeling as his elliptical eyes sought blood.

As his steps turned into a sprint, Kaiden jumped and executed a flip in the air as he began nosediving. However, whilst falling he held out his hand, leading him to grip the hilt of the Garkin Blade. Of course, the force caused the blade to slide through the sheet of ice as he descended.

Reaching Angurvadal, Kaiden kicked off the wall as he performed a backflip.

*BANG!*

As he landed, he created a large expanse of dust, ice shards, and silt.

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

The rhythmic tapping of his shoes sounded within the obstructive cloud. As he appeared, Kaiden's countenance was grim. His canines pierced his lip. Looking towards the distance, steam exuded from his mouth.

"Groaahh…"

The low rumbling from his ċhėst had moved to his throat. Kicking off his back foot, he disappeared with a sonic boom trailing behind him. He had invested all free Attribute Points into Agility at this moment!

[•Agility: 1,326 (554 + 428 + 344) → 1,523 (670 + 458 + 395)]

[Movement Speed: 31 m/s → 36 m/s]

Not to mention, Kaiden continuously executed Second Drive: Burst. The consumption of his Focus was a fleeting concept at this moment. Like a whirlwind, he sped forward, causing violent turbulence behind him. By executing his technique he was able to cross the distance of 50 meters in a second with that abrupt burst.

A stampeding bull was heading into the midst of utter chaos.

....

Deep inside the central area of the Crescent Gale Valley, a large swarm of people could be seen chasing a swarm of people. However, this wasn't the most notable part. In contrast, at the entrance of the central area, a gathering of ~50 people stood.

It was the higher-ups of Warhead Syndicate, Despicable Outlaws, Sunset Triad, Night Corps, and Wizard Conglomerate along with TerrorAssault and BlatantSage. Within TerrorAssault's hand was a cloudy orb. However, that orb emitted an ominous feeling.

Although his face was stoic and emotionless, TerrorAssault's mind was filled with remorse. These people had done him no wrong yet here he was, about to cause terror once again.

'I'm sorry but...I can't let harm befall my family as such...I must harm you in the process.'

Clenching his hand the orb shattered. However, when it shattered, a large shockwave pulsed as a translucent and intangible dome covered the central area now. As a result, everyone in the area received a system notification.

In response, the members of Ethereal Convictions' faces turned grim. Even more so when they realized communication attempts were blocked.

"!! Shit!" cursed more than one person running for dear life. However, as they ran they were unaware of the hell that existed in front of them.

"Don't split up! This isn't a situation where splitting up helps!" scowled Symbolic Soul.

Treating this as a normal dire situation, many members tried straying away from the pack. However, the pursuers were too large in number; splitting up was ill-advised. They would become prey for easy pickings..

"Z-Zenith Arrow Formation!" roared Hollow Stance. He recognized himself as 2nd in command while Kaiden was absent. As a result, he felt a need to take the stand.

Trembling, the members of the guild clumsily created a makeshift version of Zenith Arrow Formation. Important to realize, it was only over 2 weeks since the game started and a few days since the new recruits had joined. In other words, the majority of the guild wasn't privy to the details of the formation. It had yet to be drilled into them. They were lacking compared to real guilds.

"Mid to Short Range Dealers front and center! Tanks, stand your ground behind. Ranged physical, find your positions behind us tanks. Healers, supports. Form the next line. Super long-range classes form our rear defense!" shouted Hollow Stance.

With shuffling feet, the leftover guild members began hurrying into position. This situation had put them on edge causing some members to clumsily stumble. There was a chance at their precious efforts being rendered useless! Leveling up was a tedious job these days.

"Supports...BUFF!" yelled Symbolic Soul as he used his newly acquired skill, [Gaia's Breath]. This raised the defense of those with a 50-meter radius by 15% for 2 minutes. However, the cooldown was exceedingly long—15 minutes. In this type of situation, that wasn't optimal.

Following behind him, Gentle Whisper casted Genesis Breath, increasing the team's attacking prowess by 20%.

….

Squinting, BlatantSage's eyebrows raised. With him being a Hyper Intuition realm expert teetering on the edge of the Hypersensitivity Realm his senses had already begun heightening once again. But, for some reason, he began chuckling.

"Oh? An interesting formation they have there. However...it's futile. When do we move?"

"You may move now," spoke TerrorAssault.

Unlike the others, he made no movements whatsoever after he used the Area Forsaking Orb.
