Just as Zhang Yue was confronting the Demon King Enli.
The elusive Ghost King Mongya suddenly launched a side attack.
In the livestream, the members of the Heavens Hall were ecstatic.
["Look, the boss is about to show off his skills!"]
["Watch closely! See how terrifying the operational prowess of our Heavens Hall's guild leader, the number one player in the Dragon Nation's national server, truly is!"]
Normally, when killing monsters or fighting ordinary bosses, he'd just stand and fight.
Now, encountering four god-level bosses at once, the members of the Heavens Hall, who were well-acquainted with Zhang Yue's strength, assumed he was about to put on a dazzling display of skill.
But what they didn't expect was: Zhang Yue completely ignored the Ghost King Mongya. He let Mongya approach using stealth with great difficulty, only to stab him repeatedly without hesitation.
As an assassin, the Ghost King Mongya had the highest burst damage among the four bosses.
However, even if Mongya's single strike dealt 500,000 to 600,000 damage, it was entirely negligible to Zhang Yue.
Because earlier, during the battle against the Four Great Clans' army, Zhang Yue had already used his overpowered damage output to absorb 70% of it and convert it into shields. He had stacked Void Shields worth ten times his health for himself and his three "sons."
With over 9 million Void Shields on Zhang Yue, Mongya could stab all day without breaking through.
Not to mention, as long as Zhang Yue continued attacking the Demon King Enli, he could continuously absorb damage and stack more shields.
So Zhang Yue didn't even bother with Mongya and let him stab away.
At this moment, even the Ghost King Mongya started doubting life.
Had he known Zhang Yue wasn't going to defend against him, why did he even bother using stealth to sneak around?
And it wasn't just Mongya. Shadow King Jie, who was firing arrows from a distance, was also completely ignored.
Even though Jie's arrows dealt over 400,000 damage per hit, they were all absorbed by the Void Shield.
The damage absorbed by attacking Demon King Enli was more than enough to offset the combined attacks from both Mongya and Jie.
Zhang Yue's strategy was pure stand-and-fight.
This scene left the Heavens Hall members, who had been eagerly anticipating a display of skill, completely stunned.
["Holy crap! Boss, at least show some respect to your opponents. These are four god-level bosses! And you're just standing there?"]
["Have you heard of the National Server's Stand-and-Fight King?"]
To Zhang Yue, if you could stand and fight, who needed positioning or skills?
As for the God King Arafat, he was merely a support.
His role was to heal the Demon King Enli, apply defensive buffs, and give attack buffs to Mongya and Jie.
But that didn't change the situation.
What should have been a technical battle was forcibly turned into a stand-and-fight brawl by Zhang Yue.
The god-level bosses' aura was completely neutralized in Zhang Yue's presence.

Meanwhile, in the territory of the Eastern Nation.
Inoue Amano and Kawasaki Jun, along with their group, were eagerly awaiting news of Zhang Yue being defeated by the four god-level bosses.
However, a long time passed.
The news Inoue Amano received instead was: Zhang Yue was single-handedly holding off the four god-level bosses with ease.
"What? Even the Four Great Clans' god-level bosses can't handle this guy?"
Hearing this, Muramasa Ichiryu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Based on the current situation, it seems like he's not even using any fancy skills. He's just standing there, overpowering them with sheer numbers."
"This guy's strength is utterly absurd!"
At that moment, Inoue Amano also couldn't help but feel despair,"If even the Four Great Clans' leaders from the World 15 can't defeat him, perhaps we truly have no way left..."
However, Ikegawa Takeyoshi suddenly spoke up: "I have an idea. Perhaps it could work."
"I can't guarantee it'll work."
"But if it does, then Zero is as good as dead."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ikegawa Takeyoshi...
———
On the other side.
With the Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon and Phantom Predator restraining the Four Great Clans' armies, Zhang Yue was more than capable of handling the four clan leaders.
Even the high-level players below level 100, who had rushed over from the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Worlds to support Zhang Yue, ended up as mere spectators.
As Zhang Yue focused on dealing with the bosses, the Ice Emperor, who was watching the battle through the livestream, suddenly received a report:
["Ice Chairman, according to reports, spatial rifts originating from the Eastern Nation have started appearing across various worlds again."]
The Ice Emperor crossed his arms, tapping his fingers rhythmically against his shoulder, and said thoughtfully, ["It's only been quiet for a short while. Are they already stirring up trouble again?"]
His subordinate reported, ["Strangely, though, the Eastern Nation players aren't invading our Dragon Nation through the rifts. It seems like they're experimenting."]
["What do you mean?"]
["According to reports, Eastern Nation players are only taking a quick look at the rift's location before retreating."]
The Ice Emperor mused, ["If there's no reception team, the spatial rift's connection point must be random."]
["It seems they're searching for the correct connection point!"]
Realizing this, the Ice Emperor immediately issued an order: ["Set up a defensive line in the World 15. Don't let them disturb Zero!"]
The Ice Emperor's guess was correct.
Spatial rifts appeared across various worlds, but the Eastern Nation players who emerged would only observe briefly before retreating.
When a spatial rift appeared in the World 15, an Eastern Nation player finally confirmed the location and did not return.
Instead, they quickly arrived at the Sacred Light Grove, acting as an insider to establish a proper connection for the rift.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Four spatial rifts suddenly appeared outside the Sacred Light Grove.
Having received the Ice Emperor's orders, the freelance players stationed outside the Sacred Light Grove drew their weapons, ready for battle.
"The Eastern Nation invaders are here! They must be here to help the Four Great Clans fight Zero!"
"The Ice Emperor ordered us to stop them from disturbing Zero!"
"Everyone, get ready!"
The players kept their eyes on the spatial rifts.
Strangely, though, only four rifts appeared.
And no Eastern Nation players emerged from them.
As the Dragon Nation players grew puzzled, four figures slowly stepped out of the rifts.
When the players saw who had arrived, they were all stunned.
Because stepping out of the rifts were none other than the Four Great Clans' leaders:
The Ghost King Mongya!
The Demon King Enli!
The God King Arafat!
The Shadow King Jie!
"What the hell? Why are the leaders of the Four Great Clans here?"
"Then who is Zero fighting inside?"
The sudden appearance of the four god-level bosses, with their overwhelming power, forced the Dragon Nation players to retreat instinctively.
They were terrified and utterly confused.
According to reports from the Sacred Light Grove, Zhang Yue was indeed fighting the Four Great Clans' leaders.
So why were they here now?
Everyone exchanged confused glances.
One player shouted, "Doesn't matter who they are—stop them! Don't let them disturb Zero!"
"Everyone, attack together!"
With that, the players, including those from the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Worlds, charged at the Four Great Clans' leaders.
