Infinite Range: The Sniper Mage

"Hey, you're the Sorcerer from the US? Do you even know whose turf this is?"

"I... I can't move! This is bad! I'm gonna burn to death!"

As the words were spoken, several players from the UJ region gritted their teeth, ready to put on a show. But in the next moment, they saw their health plummeting and, within two seconds, all of them peacefully dropped to the ground, dead. The sight was strangely serene.

"Huh? What's going on? Why did this young guy just fall asleep? Did I, Orgod, intimidate him with my grandeur?" SirLagsALot blinked in confusion. As the players who were approaching vanished, he was left utterly bewildered.

Seeing that Orson was still staring at the main city on his mini-map, SirLagsALot volunteered, "Should I go and give a pre-battle speech, or should I buy a horn and shout at them to come out and die?"

"No need. I want to rest here for a bit and handle a few things," Orson said calmly.

"Well... should I, uh... film the scenery?" SirLagsALot scratched his head awkwardly as he settled down beside Orson under a cherry blossom tree.

"You killed Bei, Evil Value +100."

"You killed Blood Dragon Kenji, Evil Value +..."

Orson hadn't really done anything. He had merely expanded the "nuclear radiation" range to its maximum, encompassing most of the [Misty Minefield] area. A silent slaughter was taking place, and the battle logs were filled with player death notices.

Orson wasn't going to miss any chance to loot the spoils, so he tossed out the eager idiot to operate freely.

Swish... swish... swish...

Berenice turned into a streak of light, jumping through space, busy as a bee.

"You've acquired material: Soul Essence Stones."

"Quality: Ordinary."

"Effect: Increases success rate for forging 45-55 level equipment by 1%, can be used up to 10 at a time."

"You've acquired material: Soul Essence Stones..."

"World Announcement: US Region Player Orgod has killed 1024 players from other regions! Achievement [Relentless Slaughter] unlocked."

"Reward: 200 Free Attributes, 260 Skill Points, 5 Talent Points, 200,000 Reputation!"

A world announcement rang out.

"Big trouble's coming. I'll laugh about it first! When I make a move, it's always a big one!" Extras B commented.

The King Family Ting Yuer: "What's up? The SSR and UC guilds aren't screaming as much, did they lose their voices?"

The UJ players chasing after Godslayer in the US region were left dumbfounded.

"Where are they? Why can't I see anyone? Which guild is so unlucky to run into him?"

"What do you mean? Only the people around the teleportation circle were killed, that was just about twenty people. How could he have killed so many?"

Shimoji and the others were confused, quickly contacting the leaders of various large guilds in the UJ region. The feedback they received was that everything was fine.

"We've got a problem!"

Shimoji's face changed, and he started calling around to gather intel.

After a while, the leader of a small guild joined the chat and said one sentence: "He's already in our district."

The moment these words were spoken, the two-thousand-member battle group was shaken.

Despite detailed plans from top players like Shimoji, who predicted various scenarios, no one expected Orgod to go against the grain and actively head towards their main base!

"Due to the achievement [Relentless Slaughter] unlocked by a player, the Global Reputation Shop has opened early!"

"UJ Region's Sakura District ecology has been severely damaged, leading to a monster riot. As a result, the first part of the Infinite Dimensions expansion [Monster Siege] will begin ahead of schedule."

"[Monster Siege] countdown: 48 hours."

"The siege is ahead of schedule. Looks like I've affected the game's progress."

Orson raised an eyebrow. From the early release of the leaderboard to the [Monster Siege] being moved up by more than ten days, his actions had undeniably influenced the game's pace. This was both expected and unexpected.

At this point, Orson felt like an apple dropped into a chessboard, shaking up the structure of the Infinite Dimensions world. But he couldn't be sure whether this would trigger the early start of the Hardcore mode.

A sense of urgency rose in him, and Orson murmured, "Let it be. Strength reigns supreme, regardless of the timing."

"Due to the effect of [Divine Artifact: Broken True Sutra Mirror], your whereabouts have been completely exposed."

A system prompt appeared. Orson chuckled and shook his head. From the moment he stepped into Sakura District, he had felt as though someone was spying on him.

The so-called Broken True Sutra Mirror was actually the UJ legend [Yata no Kagami], one of the three divine artifacts of the UJ region.

Naoko's ability to class-change into an SS-level [Kingdom Summoner] was due to receiving a fragment of this artifact, which granted her the ability to summon the ghost beast [Yamata no Orochi] in a projected form.

The incomplete Yata no Kagami also had an effect similar to [Heavenly Vision]. However, because the artifact was in a broken state, prolonged use of its insight power would trigger system warnings.

Boom!!

A dull thud sounded, and the ground outside Sakura District trembled violently.

SirLagsALot, who had been zoning out, suddenly looked up toward the main city: "Holy crap! A massive snake with eight heads! Is it coming for us?"

At that moment, a colossal creature—over 200 meters tall, with eight serpent-like heads—loomed ahead. Its head was more like a serpent than a dragon, and its eight grotesque snake heads twisted together, spitting black ghostly mist and various magical elements.

Orson's eyes widened as he checked its attributes.

[Yamata no Orochi King: Level 50]

[Domain Lord Class Creature]

[HP: 150 million]

[Attack Power: 12,000]

Skills: Mastery of Dark, Fire, and Water elemental skills.

"This creature is a projected manifestation of Yamata no Orochi (King-level) and possesses about 10% of its original battle power."

"Naoko-sama! Invincible!"

"Ha ha, the US Triple Crown winner walks right into the trap! Your end is near! You will be forever buried here!"

A stunning woman in a dark golden robe stood atop the Yamata no Orochi.

She exuded a bewitching aura, her body graceful and her black curly hair flowing like a seductive waterfall.

Surrounding her were two thousand members of the Thousand Hands guild, a kingly army that vowed to crush all enemies!

"You've crossed the line, Orgod," Naoko said softly, surrounded by purple and gold light, resembling a goddess who ruled all.

She was extraordinarily confident, her pale blue eyes locking onto Orson.

Even though she couldn't understand why two people, Orgod and SirLagsALot, dared to wreak havoc in the minefield, this was her domain. Naoko had a natural advantage.

Previous guild wars in the UJ region had shown that as long as Naoko didn't fall, the Thousand Hands guild was unbeatable. No other guild could even come close!

Because they could never surpass Yamata no Orochi King, this invincible behemoth.

Now, even facing the number one player on the leaderboard and an SSS-level fighter, she was still unafraid!

"Sorcerer, your invincibility will be shattered!"

An S-level archer shouted, his gray longbow slung on his back, his level at 36, riding a unicorn-dragon mount.

"Absolute Star Shooter ready! Any target within a thousand meters is locked for death! Dodging is useless!"

Someone revealed his identity: This was Kitagawa, one of the vice presidents of the Thousand Hands guild, a super archer ranked among the top three in the UJ region!

"You've been killing our innocent UJ players, Orgod, you deserve to die! As a fellow Sorcerer, I'll make sure you meet a swift end."

Another S-level [Curse Spirit Mage] stepped forward, surrounded by hundreds of undead, including a Lord-Class Bone Dragon leading the charge.

"Tch, I didn't think they would be using a group assault strategy, but this is way too much!" SirLagsALot gaped, finally realizing, "SSR and the Thousand Hands guild have a special relationship. Why haven't we seen them in the US region battle? They've been hiding in Sakura District this whole time. Could they be...?"

Orson turned and smiled, "That's right. They're waiting for me."

"Then why come?" SirLagsALot asked in shock.

"Why not?" Orson laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with determination.

A spatial crack opened, and the Crimson Lizard King let out an enraged roar, sending birds flying from the trees as Orson soared into the sky.
