At that moment, the players from the other zones were still immersed in the shock of John having fought three consecutive battles for humankind.

Not only that, he had even won every zone a new type of dungeon and three main cities.

All the dissatisfaction from before had vanished like smoke.

Even though the major guilds did not like John, they had no choice but to admit one thing at this moment.

The person who had brought the greatest benefits to the players so far was John.

Just then, a server-wide announcement suddenly rang out.

[Server-wide Announcement: Zone 5 player John has used a Server Merger Token!]

[Zone 5 and Zone 4 have merged!]

[Players from both zones may now trade and participate in activities freely!]

...

When all the players across the server heard this announcement, they all fell into a daze for a full ten seconds.

Only after a long while did they finally come back to their senses.

John had actually used a Boundary Break Token, directly merging Zone 4 and Zone 5.

Whether they were players from Zone 4 or Zone 5, they could now freely travel between the two zones.

The players of Zone 4 and Zone 5 were in completely different moods right now.

The feelings of the Zone 4 players were incredibly complicated.

Naturally, the players who had not joined the War God Guild were fully supportive of this.

After all, they had always been treated as fuel by the War God Guild, constantly providing resources to the few key players the guild had chosen to cultivate.

Now that the zones had merged, the War God Guild definitely would not be able to continue existing as before.

They could finally develop normally in peace.

[Lor] (Zone 4): "Hahaha, this is great! I can finally join Big Shot John’s faction!"

[Greyham] (Zone 4, War God Guild): "What do you mean by that? Are you even from Zone 4? John is clearly trying to annex our Zone 4. How can you still be so happy about it? You’re a traitor, aren’t you?"

[Lor] (Zone 4): "Who are you calling a traitor? You War God Guild people order us around every day, making us hand over resources for you to farm. In the end, ordinary players like us are still so low-level. We might as well join Zone 5."

[Greyham] (Zone 4, War God Guild): "Our guild is stronger than you, so of course you should let us farm. What’s wrong with that?"

[Lor] (Zone 4): "Then let’s just go our separate ways. Anyway, once Big Shot John’s guild arrives, we’ll definitely join them. We won’t be like you people, still thinking of going against Big Shot John."

[Greyham] (Zone 4, War God Guild): "Is talking big in the channel all you can do? If you’ve got guts, send your coordinates. Let me see what qualifications you have to join someone else’s guild."

...

Meanwhile, after the players of Zone 5 heard the world announcement, excitement appeared on their faces one after another.

"I’ve felt for a long time that our zone didn’t have enough resources to farm. Now we’ve finally merged with another zone."

"There’s actually something like a Server Merger Token? That’s amazing!"

"So how should we handle the merger next? Should we make their guild disband directly?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course they should disband and join us! Don’t tell me we, the stronger side, are supposed to bow our heads to the weaker side instead?"

Because Zone 5 had long since been unified by John, they had already become of one mind and were prepared to clean up the aftermath in Zone 4 together.

On top of that, John had provided them with plenty of opportunities to accelerate their development.

So right now, the average level of Zone 5 players was definitely the highest in the entire server.

More importantly, they had John, the number one player on the combat power ranking.

They could completely crush the other side in every aspect.

...

Inside the City Lord Mansion of Overlord City, John listened to the announcement ringing beside his ears and let out a long breath.

Now, he could completely control the players of both zones.

With the manpower and resources of these two zones, even when the Battlefield of All Races arrived later, they would be able to take it down easily.

Rumble, rumble!

A tremendous sound came from outside.

John’s figure flashed, and he appeared outside Overlord City.

He saw illusory shadows emerging one after another in the distant sky, gradually becoming solid.

This was precisely the sign of a zone merger.

Everything in Zone 4 would gradually overlap with Zone 5, forming even richer dungeon resources.

"I hope no one is stupid enough to come cause trouble."

John looked at the figures of Zone 4 players gradually appearing in the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly.

After the zone merger, all players would gather together and appear in the same main city.

John could clearly see that a large number of players were already approaching Overlord main city.

Alan and the others had already organized the members of Overlord Guild to go forward and receive them.

Alan personally led a group of high-combat players over.

"Welcome, friends from Zone 4, to join us. Those above level 20 may join. Those below level 20, please continue leveling for now.

"As for leveling locations, dedicated staff will soon come to guide you.

"In addition, players who have joined the War God Guild may choose to withdraw immediately, because afterward, we will be dealing with the War God Guild by disbanding it. So..."

Before Alan could finish speaking, he suddenly saw an arrow shoot out from the crowd of Zone 4 players.

His expression changed. He immediately drew his sword and cut the arrow apart.

His gaze locked onto an archer player in the crowd.

That archer player’s level was not low. He was actually level 50.

If that arrow had struck him, even Alan would probably have lost one-tenth of his HP.

The archer player stepped forward and sneered.

"What the hell do you think you are, daring to interfere in the affairs of our Zone 4? Let me tell you, even if the regional barrier between zones is gone, our War God Guild still won’t be affected by your Zone 5 in any way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of War God Guild members instantly surged out from the crowd of Zone 4 players.

They formed a human wall one after another, blocking the other Zone 4 players and Alan’s group from each other.

"You want to interfere with our War God Guild? Your Zone 5 has no such qualifications."

Alan’s expression darkened.

He could tell that this group was clearly trying to stir up trouble.

However, he was not angry.

Because he knew that before absolute strength, all resistance was futile.

This time, he had specially brought a group of high-combat players over to receive the newcomers precisely because of this matter.

Alan would show no mercy at all toward these thorn-like troublemakers.

He immediately raised his sword and said,

"In that case, all of you can go die! Everyone, attack!"

At his command, a fierce battle erupted between both sides.

Skills of every color were unleashed at once.

Alan and the others were high-combat players from Zone 5, so naturally, their strength went without saying.

They could almost fight ten enemies each.

Of course, what they had not expected was that the War God Guild actually had experts as well.

Very soon, several key players who had been heavily cultivated emerged.

All of them had reached level 60.

The moment they attacked, they firmly restrained Alan and the others.

"Damn it. Just how ruthlessly did these people drain the players in their own zone? They actually reached level 60 faster than us."

Alan looked at the Zone 5 players gradually falling into the encirclement, and his heart burned with anxiety.

This was a task John had personally assigned to him.

But now, because of his own underestimation, they had fallen into a disadvantaged position.

When he returned, he would definitely be punished!
