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

Chapter 493 Meeting

Emily glanced at him, her gaze falling on the new cracks in his shield.

"Your shield is about to break."

She said it calmly, but with a hint of concern.

Zhang Tianya patted the shield, the cracks on its surface trembling slightly under the impact: "It's alright, it can still hold!!!"

Li Weiwei muttered under her breath, "Hold on my ass, that last wave almost destroyed us. If I hadn't reacted quickly and put a shield on you..."

Zhang Tianya pretended not to hear and took another step forward, standing diagonally in front of Emily—

That's the standard tank position, ready to charge in and take damage at any time.

Just then, a rough roar came from afar—

Count me in!!!

Raji charged forward, carrying his battle axe, the heavy axe bouncing up and down on his shoulder as he ran.

Arjun followed behind, panting, and almost tripped over his staff.

Raj rushed up to Emily and looked her up and down—from the golden warhammer to the silver armor, and then to her cold, stern face.

Then he grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "You're Emily? I've heard of you."

Emily nodded without changing her expression: "You're Raj?"

Arjun finally caught up, panting heavily, his chest heaving as he leaned on his knees.

"He...he counts as one, I count as half...damn, I'm exhausted from running..."

Emily glanced at Arjun, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes—

In the battle just now, she noticed that it was this person who was desperately trying to keep Raji alive. Several times, he managed to pull Raji back from the brink of death when his health dropped to single digits. Otherwise, Raji would have died three times over.

"You're amazing," she said sincerely. "Thanks to you just now, otherwise the one with the axe would have been dead already."

Arjun paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile:

"Thank you... but he won't listen to me. I'm just a tool; he tells me to heal, and he tells me not to, but I still have to heal..."

Raj pretended not to hear and continued to stare in Kisla's direction, twirling the battle axe in his hand.

Emily raised her head and looked towards the west—

There, the members of the Dark Raven Group remained standing in the shadows, motionless.

"And you guys???" she asked, her voice not loud, but loud enough to carry.

There was no response in the darkness.

A moment later, a figure slowly walked out.

Kenichi Sato.

He walked slowly, each step seemingly casual, but the silent pressure he exuded caused several Eastern Realm players around him to subconsciously take a step back.

His hands were not on the hilts of the swords, but hung naturally at his sides, but everyone knew that if he wanted to, he could draw those two swords in 0.3 seconds.

Chishima Rin followed behind him, her hand on her katana, her eyes scanning the people around her warily.

Her gaze lingered on Ye Yao for a second longer, a natural sizing-up between colleagues.

Hikaru Kobayashi lagged a few steps behind, adjusted his glasses, and observed everything expressionlessly.

His gaze swept quickly over everyone, and he seemed to be muttering something to himself—a habitual action when his talent was at work.

Hattori Hanji was hidden in the deeper darkness, almost imperceptible, only the slight gusts of air stirred up by his occasional movements could reveal his location.

Yamamoto Tatsuno followed, his face taut with a fierce expression, his gaze lingering on Raj's battle axe for a few seconds.

Sato stopped five meters away from Emily.

The two looked at each other.

The air seemed to freeze.

No one spoke, but the invisible pressure made everyone around hold their breath.

Emily's holy flames flickered slightly, and Sato's clothes fluttered without wind—a sign that the energies within the two were resonating with each other.

A few seconds later, Marcus and his men emerged from the shadows.

"Wow, it's so lively here???"

Marcus smiled, trying to ease the tension.

His smile was standard, a standard business smile, but a shrewd glint flashed in his eyes. "Let's fight the BOSS together, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."

Catherine and Jack followed behind him, both of them sizing up the players around them—Catherine's gaze lingered on Chishima Rin's dagger for a second longer, while Jack examined the cracks on Zhang Tianya's shield.

Vincent remained hidden in the crowd and did not show himself.

Isabella and Roderick were also in the group, and their positioning was very deliberate, maintaining distance while being able to support each other immediately.

Emily glanced at Marcus but said nothing.

She turned to Sato.

"How do we fight?"

Sato didn't answer, but instead asked, "You're in command?"

Emily: "No way?"

Sato was silent for two seconds.

His gaze lingered on Emily, then swept over the others around him—Zhang Tianya's shield, Raj's axe, Ye Yao's dagger, and the hidden masters among the solo players.

"OK."

......

"etc."

A voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned to look.

William Rockefeller walked out slowly, followed by several members of the "Arcane Truth Society"—all of them mages, each with a staff inlaid with crystals of different colors.

He walked up to Emily and Sato, the crystal ball in his hand changing colors, with tiny points of light constantly moving inside.

"I'll take command."

He spoke calmly but with unwavering conviction, his blue eyes reflecting the light of a crystal ball.

"My talent allows me to deduce the overall situation and predict the BOSS's actions. I predicted the location of that attack three seconds ago, and none of my team members were injured."

Emily frowned and looked at Sato.

Sato stared at William for three seconds, his gaze lingering for a moment on the crystal ball in William's hand—the moving points of light inside did indeed look like some kind of deduced trajectory.

He nodded slowly.

"Can."

......

The plan was quickly finalized.

William stood on the protruding rock, the crystal ball floating above his palm, the light spots inside the ball beginning to spin rapidly, forming a complex trajectory.

Chen Shan stepped out from the crowd, carrying a shield, and stood next to Zhang Tianya.

His shield was a size smaller than Zhang Tianya's, but it had a metallic sheen and looked thicker.

Karl stepped forward, gripping his shield tightly: "Understood."

His shield had a faint yellowish-brown glow—that was the appearance of the Earth Shield in its standby state.

William then began to devise tactics, his gaze turning towards the shadows.

Ye Yao nodded, her figure disappearing into the shadows once more, with only her slightly distorted silhouette in the air serving as proof of her presence.

Hattori Hanji's aura completely disappeared, without even a trace of distortion—that was the state of [Aura Concealment] at full power.
