With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 197 The Impact of the Grayrock City Incident

He was brief and to the point, without even explaining what had happened.

But the fear that emanated from the depths of his soul and Lin Tian's undisguised rage spoke volumes.

Some people and some forces represent a bottom line that cannot be touched or desecrated!

The next moment, Lin Tian's figure flickered slightly, and he activated [Flash], appearing directly next to Liu Ji, who was bound by the chains of law.

He lifted the dying Liu Ji as if he were a bag of garbage.

Without glancing at the silent crowd in the square again, Lin Tian's surrounding space rippled once more as he activated [Blink] once more.

A flash of white light, and Lin Tian and Liu Ji's figures vanished from the plaza in an instant, leaving behind only the deathly silence still shrouded in terrifying pressure, and countless players who were still in shock, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The chilling killing intent and the lingering wrath of the gods seemed to still linger in the air.

The "Gratitude Ceremony" in Grayrock City ended abruptly in a way that no one could have predicted, and was extremely tragic and horrific.

The name "Lin Tian" not only represents invincible power and hope, but at this moment it also carries an added layer of terrifying color, as if it were an inviolable force and a divine might as well be a prison.

Everyone understood that the fool who tried to provoke the divine power would face an end far worse than death.

Lin Tian also needs to pry everything about the bizarre attack method from this ant's mouth.

The "Gray Rock City Attack" was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, and the resulting shockwaves and ripples swept through all the level 3 main cities at an unprecedented speed.

When the specific details of the event, although mostly vague and embellished through word of mouth, spread through world channels and player interactions, the first wave of reactions was one of extreme shock and disbelief.

[World Channel] Player A: "Have you heard?! Something big has happened in Grayrock City! A madman named Liu Ji ambushed Boss Lin Tian during the Thanksgiving Ceremony!"

[World Channel] Player B: "A sneak attack? How is that possible? Boss Lin Tian is just standing there letting him hit him, how could he break through his defenses?"

[World Channel] Player C: "It's not a physical attack! It's supposedly a talent!! An S-rank talent called [Soul Swap], I want to swap bodies with Boss Lin Tian!"

[World Channel] Player D: "My god! S-rank talent [Soul Swap]?! This talent is too sinister! It's impossible to defend against! If it succeeds..."

[World Channel] Player E: "Success? You guys didn't see what happened next! Boss Lin Tian is completely unharmed. That Liu Ji was 'erased' by Boss Lin Tian in a way that's utterly incomprehensible! He can't even go to the respawn point anymore. He's truly and completely disappeared!"

After a brief moment of shock at Liu Ji's audacity and the strangeness of his talent, came a deeper, almost numb, awe of Lin Tian.

Even this couldn't shake him in the slightest?

However, this incident brought not only awe, but also a resounding wake-up call to all players.

Liu Ji's existence, his insidious and bizarre talent, and his madness in launching an attack under the watchful eyes of the public all starkly reveal a cruel truth:

Even when facing a common external threat, deadly malice and unpredictable risks lurk within the player community, which consists of fellow humans.

The foundation of trust has been shaken.

Today it might be Liu Ji versus Lin Tian, ​​but tomorrow it might be Zhang Ji or Li Ji versus him.

Are those with unusual and strange talents secretly coveting me?

An invisible sense of tension began to spread among the players.

The major guilds reacted the fastest.

Sunset City, headquarters of the War Alliance Guild.

Zhang Tianya, with a solemn expression, issued the highest-level command in the guild channel:

"All guild members, listen up! Effective immediately, conduct a comprehensive internal review! Re-examine the background and talent information of every member!"

Especially for recently joined members, conduct thorough investigations! Anyone found to be concealing dangerous talents or engaging in misconduct will be immediately removed!

At the same time, on behalf of the guild, we send our sincerest condolences and support to Brother Lin Tian, ​​reiterating that our guild will always be his strongest backing!

In the Crimson Romance Guild, Li Weiwei was equally decisive and efficient.

She not only ordered an internal review, but also emphasized the priority of all matters related to Lin Tian.

"Blood Romance must respond to any request from Boss Lin Tian immediately! This incident shows that the potential threats are far greater than we imagined, and we must unite more closely around the truly strong."

Not only in Luoxia City, but also in Yunxi City, Shixia City, Maya City, Cairo City... almost all the well-known large and medium-sized guilds took action upon hearing the news, launching internal rectifications of varying degrees of severity, strengthening member management and background investigations, and striving to eliminate potential risks.

Meanwhile, messages filled with respectful wording, expressing firm support and apologies, flew to Lin Tian like snowflakes, though he probably wouldn't read them all.

Ironwall Guild became the target of everyone's criticism.

Under immense pressure, Guild Leader Wan Heng, almost as if atonement, carried out a thorough purge of the guild, expelling a large number of suspicious members and donating a significant amount of the guild's resources free of charge to support the city's defense construction and compensation. He adopted an extremely humble attitude, hoping to slightly salvage the impression he had of Lin Tian, ​​which had plummeted to rock bottom.

......

This incident has also sparked deep reflection among top gamers.

Yunxi City, shrouded in shadow.

Ye Yao has just single-handedly defeated an elite wild monster, the Faceless One.

When she received news about the Grayrock City incident, she paused slightly as she wiped her dagger.

"Soul swapping...that's interesting, but unfortunately, the perpetrator's intentions are wicked, and they've chosen the wrong target."

On the city wall of Shixia City.

After hearing Situ Zhen's retelling, Chen Shan's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly. He slammed his fist heavily against the wall, making a dull thud.

"Damn it! This kind of scum who stabs you in the back deserves to die! Well done, Boss Lin Tian! I wonder if my [Undying Barrier] can withstand that kind of attack..."

It seems that simply increasing health and defense isn't enough; I need to find some equipment or skills to enhance my soul resistance. He felt the pressure, an urgent need to address his weaknesses.

Mayan city, Temple of Holy Light.

After praying, Emily White whispered to Carl and Helena beside her:

"The Holy Light warns us to be wary of the darkness within. That lost soul named Liu Ji was one whose soul was devoured by greed."

Mr. Lin Tian's power is indeed beyond imagination; even such cunning and dark tricks cannot corrupt him in the slightest.

Cairo, at a wild celebration.

Raj Kumar downed a large glass of strong liquor and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha! Interesting! Even a sneak attack with this kind of talent couldn't handle him! Lin Tian is a monster! But I like him! He's strong! Arjun, what do you think we could force out some of his strength if we fought him?"

Arjun Mishra, standing beside him, remained calm, turning the prayer beads in his hand, and said indifferently, "Raji, put away your delusions."

That person's level is beyond our comprehension. Rather than challenging them, we should consider how to find our own place in the waves they have created.
