Chapter 149: Liquidation
Roland completely understood Noah’s meaning.
It wasn’t about establishing some Blue Star Federation, nor was it about only looking out for oneself, but rather for Starfall Country to gradually unify Blue Star.
This process of unification would definitely not be fast, because there were requirements for assimilation.
It would also face resistance from major countries like White Eagle Country, both openly and covertly.
But it was the path with the smallest hidden dangers and the most correct one. The Great Starfall that would be born in the future would be an incredibly powerful nation, and the nine provinces cauldron would also grow stronger along with Starfall Country.
"I understand."
"Just right, several neighboring countries to the southeast suffered heavy losses in the Ghost-Level Calamity. Their citizens are incredibly envious of our Starfall Country having the nine provinces cauldron’s protection, and many are crying and shouting to join Starfall Country. These countries have been deeply influenced by Starfall Country since ancient times, making assimilation the least difficult."
Roland quickly departed; he needed to bring Noah’s words to the high-level officials of Starfall Country.
A video appeared on the Extraordinary Forum and was immediately spread wildly.
The video was still of Noah.
Noah’s expression was calm, without any impassioned rhetoric, and he announced in a very calm tone: "From this moment on, all acts of exploiting others and obtaining attribute crystals and various items are prohibited."
"Violators will be killed."
Although Noah’s tone was calm, everyone watching the video felt a chill shoot straight from their feet to their heads.
This was the might Noah had built through killing.
He had already proven his strength and status as the number one person on Blue Star with one fact after another.
That ubiquitous golden light was the most powerful deterrent.
Who would dare not listen to what he said? Who would dare not obey?
At least openly, no one dared.
The moment Noah released the video, the Starfall Country government immediately announced that it would legislate to strictly prohibit such behavior. Once discovered, there would be no forgiveness, and a special department would be established to supervise similar cases.
After Starfall Country, countries like Eagle Federation and other Country all expressed their stance, showing support for Noah’s statement.
"This is great! I’ve long been unhappy with those cheaters. They deserve it."
"I suspect my boss is exploiting us. I suggest the country severely punish him."
Ordinary people cheered with joy, while the cheaters felt unsafe.
Noah’s second video proved that he wasn’t just talking. In this video, he stated that he would settle accounts with some of the cheaters.
New Sea City.
Noah took out an item.
[Body Imprisonment Array]
[Quality: Rare]
[Type: Item]
[After use, it can imprison the target on the spot regardless of distance, preventing escape. It can be used on a maximum of 20 people and lasts for ten minutes.]
It was precisely because he had the Body Imprisonment Array that he didn’t need help from others.
As Noah used the item, a light screen appeared before him. As long as he confirmed the targets for imprisonment, it would activate.
Choosing targets didn’t matter how far or near they were. If they were close, he could determine them with his gaze; if they were far, he needed to input the target’s detailed information.
Noah was not unfamiliar with the detailed information of top cheaters like Miyamoto Nobuo.
As his thoughts were inputted, the full-body images of Miyamoto Nobuo and others appeared vividly on the light screen.
Over a dozen targets were inputted, and there were still a few empty slots. Noah didn’t waste them and inputted several other cheaters who had also fled to avoid punishment.
After all, it was a one-time use item, so it couldn’t be wasted.
Then, he used it.
The light screen dispersed, turning into streaks of golden light that shot through the air.
Eagle Federation, inside a manor.
Seeing his name on the liquidation list Noah presented in the video, Miyamoto Nobuo’s face changed drastically. Without even thinking, he broke through the roof and fled outwards at full speed.
While escaping, he would occasionally look up, fearing that a golden light would descend from the sky and shoot him dead.
Miyamoto Nobuo knew very well that his previous actions were not low-key. Noah definitely had a way to get his location. The only plan now was to hide in remote mountain forests, not expose himself to others, so that Noah couldn’t find his location. Only then would there be a glimmer of hope.
"Noah, Noah." Miyamoto Nobuo gritted his teeth, hating Noah to the extreme. He swore that after the instance could be entered, he would do everything in his power to become stronger and seek revenge on Noah in the future.
He wanted Noah to pay a heavy price.
Miyamoto Nobuo’s speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he left the city and hid in a nearby mountain range. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped a disaster.
A golden light shot through the air, turning into a three-meter diameter ring that descended from above his head and stopped at his feet.
Streaks of golden chains emerged from the ring, binding him firmly.
"No~"
Miyamoto Nobuo struggled desperately, using his SSS-Level Talent, and actually broke free from the golden chains by sheer force. However, when he tried to escape, he slammed with a ’bang’ into a layer of golden light pillar.
The ring at his feet formed a light pillar, trapping him inside.
With his desperate collision, the golden light pillar immediately showed signs of cracking. Miyamoto Nobuo saw hope and immediately attacked frantically.
Although Rare-grade items were powerful, Miyamoto Nobuo was ultimately an SSS-Level Talent, and his own attributes were in the tens of thousands. This Body Imprisonment Array couldn’t trap him for long.
However, just as Miyamoto Nobuo broke free from the restraints and was about to escape.
An arrow appeared out of thin air and shot through his heart.
Miyamoto Nobuo’s figure suddenly froze, and despair appeared in his eyes.
"Boom~"
The next moment, his body exploded into pieces.
While the Body Imprisonment Array trapped the targets, Noah also grasped the targets’ locations and their trapped status.
The Sun Shooting Bow appeared in his hand. Noah shot arrow after arrow, killing Miyamoto Nobuo and others.
These guys were much easier to deal with than Three-order monsters.
Even if he had an SSS-Level Talent, under the 20% suppression, it couldn’t exert much effect. Even if he could be immune to a certain amount of damage, he was powerless to resist in the face of the huge strength gap.
These twenty people, when trapped, were not all in deep mountain forests. Some who reacted a little slower and couldn’t escape in time were directly trapped on the street, and then shot dead by Noah with an arrow under everyone’s gaze.
These processes were filmed and put online, immediately causing an even greater sensation.
The top cheaters who had not been liquidated by Noah all felt unsafe.
Fortunately, they quickly received news that due to their contributions in the Ghost-Level Calamity, their past mistakes would not be pursued. However, if they dared to offend again in the future, no matter how great their achievements were, they would absolutely not be spared.
The atmosphere on Blue Star was cleared up by this.
For a long time, no one would dare to engage in large-scale exploitation anymore.
As for small-scale behavior, it couldn’t be completely stopped in the short term. Noah was too lazy to bother with it; each country would handle it themselves. If any country was ineffective in supervision or paid lip service, he would naturally come knocking.
Another day passed.
As the dark rift in the East Ocean completely disappeared, this Ghost-Level Calamity also officially ended.
The familiar system prompt sound rang out in everyone’s ears.
