Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 494: Chapter 482 Kill·all!

Three days after the start of the Holy Spirit League, the fervor surrounding the league had slightly diminished.

The direction of major news discussions shifted from “What is the Holy Spirit game?” and “What is the Holy Spirit League?” to headlines like “Today, the Cola Frenzy team still tops the leaderboard” and “A highlight reel of brilliant kills from the White Sword team.”

This type of report, more in line with esports, showed, in terms of the current point system, that Cola Frenzy led the leaderboard with twenty points, followed by Vibrant Nucleus with seventeen points and Overlord’s Reign with fifteen points.

The team ranked third on the leaderboard, Overlord’s Reign, was undoubtedly the hottest professional team of the lot.

That was because, in the Holy Spirit game, Overlord’s Reign had completely severed ties with the real-world Overlord’s Reign Club.

Zhao Mingwei’s news of leaving with the core players of Overlord’s Reign thoroughly shocked the entire Chinese esports circle, even momentarily overshadowing the hype of the Holy Spirit League.

Netizens were discussing whether Zhao Mingwei’s actions were right or wrong. Some casual fans continued to curse Zhao Mingwei as a traitor, but the die-hard fans of Overlord’s Reign expressed a great deal of understanding and even called for Laughs to “come back.”

One side, the club fans; the other, the player fans—two factions of Overlord’s Reign supporters started squabbling on Weibo.

But the boss of Overlord’s Reign was a tough one. He directly spent a large sum to recruit two first-line players from Southwind Howling and the Gray Eyes Association, and promoted two outstanding players from the secondary league, reviving the vacated Overlord’s Reign from the inside out.

However, this time the goal of Overlord’s Reign’s boss was the championship of the Holy Spirit League, so he assembled a team with the current players in the game and created a team called Overlord’s Dynasty to directly challenge Zhao Mingwei.
