The wager phase would randomly draw one game from among 3,979 possible wager games.

John did not hesitate at all. He directly chose to draw.

[Wager game drawing in progress... Draw successful!]

[The wager game this time is a monster-killing game!]

[For detailed game rules, please check the contract interface yourself!]

[A server-wide announcement is about to be made!]

...

A series of system prompts rang out.

Immediately afterward, an announcement resounded throughout the entire server.

[Server-wide Announcement: Zone 5 player John has used a Wager Pact. The two wagering parties are: all players of Zone 5 and all players of Zone 1!]

[This Wager Pact will begin in 5 minutes. Players from both sides, please familiarize yourselves with the game rules in advance!]

[Zone 1 players are unable to refuse any terms of this contract. Please place everything you possess onto the gambling table!]

[The game rules have been announced. Players from both sides, please check them yourselves!]

...

The moment the announcement rang out, all players across the server were once again thrown into an uproar.

They were still trying to awaken their own bloodline talents, and in the very next second, a Wager Pact had suddenly appeared.

In an instant, all players were dumbfounded.

Why was it John again?

What exactly was this Wager Pact of his?

[Aelus] (Zone 2, Thunder Guild): "Wager Pact? It forcibly makes all Zone 1 players join the wager?"

[Suka] (Zone 3, Death Guild): "What a terrifying contract. Zone 1 players are doomed!"

[Good] (Zone 3, Death Guild): "Tsk, tsk, tsk. He’s actually making Zone 1 players hand over everything they own onto the gambling table. That’s ruthless."

[Deke] (Zone 2, Thunder Guild): "Zone 1 players are in trouble..."

...

At the same time.

All players in Zone 1 heard system prompts ringing beside their ears. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

[Warning: Zone 5 player John has initiated a full-zone wager against Zone 1!]

[For specific rules, please check the Wager Pact details.]

The players of Zone 1 had originally still been immersed in the joy of their side awakening a large number of S-grade bloodline talents.

When they suddenly heard this disastrous prompt, every one of them froze.

What did this mean?

Wager Pact? Forced participation?

All players of Zone 5 were wagering against all players of Zone 1?

What exactly was going on?

Judging from the situation, it seemed like they were digging a pit for Zone 1!

Boom!!!

In an instant, the players of Zone 1 felt as if the sky had collapsed.

They immediately opened the contract panel and began checking it.

...

After reading it, the players of Zone 1 were completely stunned.

What was going on? A Wager Pact could actually be issued by force?

Did this game have any fairness or justice left at all?

Also, just how rich was Zone 5?

The amount wagered above had already exceeded their imagination.

With such an exaggerated sum, could Zone 5 have thrown literally everything they owned into the wager?

With such a terrifying amount, could Zone 1 really gather enough to match it?

If they lost this wager, would Zone 1 still have any way to survive in the future?

The moment they thought of the price of defeat, the players of Zone 1 felt as if the sky were collapsing.

Zone 1 players fell into complete despair.

They had never imagined that right after awakening a batch of SSS-grade talents, John from Zone 5 would immediately set his sights on them.

The other side had even calculated things like hidden classes and Fame into the wager.

Zone 1’s zone channel had already exploded.

[Baxi] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "No, I don’t want to participate in this contract. I want to withdraw."

[Jask] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Wake up, brother. Just obediently hand it over. I checked the stakes. The other side clearly calculated everything our Zone 1 possesses."

[Jinx] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "This is a compulsory mission. We can’t refuse it. Even if you don’t participate, it will forcibly deduct the corresponding things from your inventory."

[Nick] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Accept your fate. This is the only way."

All the ordinary players of Zone 1 felt as though the sky had fallen. There was no hope left.

However, very soon, the management of Zone 1’s Glory Guild began stepping forward to boost morale.

[Leah] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Everyone, didn’t our Zone 1 just awaken EPS-grade talents? With them here, it’s not as if we have no chance of defeating Zone 5!"

[Dennis] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "That’s right. Don’t underestimate the unity of our Zone 1."

[Teniel] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Isn’t it just one John? I’ll lead you all to victory over them!"

[Orsh] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Exactly. Does he really think Zone 5 is invincible?"

[Keith] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Since so many SSS-grade talents have appeared among our Zone 1 players, that proves we are favored by the Goddess of Fortune.

We will not lose this wager!"

Under the encouragement of Glory Guild’s management, the players, whose morale had originally been extremely low, gradually regained their confidence.

They began carefully studying the relevant rules.

They prepared to fight Zone 5 in a life-and-death confrontation.

As long as they won this wager, Zone 1 would completely soar!

Time passed, second by second and minute by minute.

When the countdown on the contract scroll came to an end, an announcement rang beside the ears of all players in both zones.

[Zone-wide Announcement: The wager game has begun. Players from both sides, begin fighting!]
