I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 143 -- The Emperor’s Humiliation, the Empire’s Lament
World Zone No. 1213, Imperial City.
Faustus led his band of powerful warriors out of the Godscar, their robes snapping in the wind like judges returning from a divine war.
Not far away, the experts of World Zone No. 1213 caught sight of him and began trembling uncontrollably.
It was a fear born from the depths of the soul. Not cowardice, but the instinctive shudder of prey standing before its natural predator.
"The Imperial City is protected by an ancient magic array."
Daniel glanced at Carodion, his voice icy.
"Attack. I want to see just how long this turtle shell can hold."
"At your command, my lord!"
With a sweep of his arm, Carodion gave the signal, and the legendary-grade experts under his command struck all at once.
Divine arts, forbidden spells, and torrents of elemental power poured down like a violent storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless attacks, each powerful enough to split the earth itself, were intercepted before they could even touch the walls of the Imperial City.
A magical barrier suddenly flared to life high above, like an enormous glass bowl turned upside down, covering the entire Imperial City. Light flowed across its surface, runes flickering in and out of view.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The experts of World Zone No. 616 did not stop. Their skills crashed down in relentless waves, one after another, like an angry sea battering the heavens.
Daniel stood with his hands clasped behind his back, watching coldly.
He knew better than anyone that every Imperial City in every World Zone carried the accumulated defensive magic arrays of a thousand years. Without days and nights of nonstop bombardment, it would be impossible to break through.
He was in no hurry to breach the city.
He was simply telling those experts of World Zone No. 1213 hiding behind that barrier one thing.
You are only fit to cower inside your shell and cling to your miserable lives.
...
Inside the royal palace.
The Emperor slumped on his throne, his face as pale as paper.
The thunderous blasts booming overhead sounded like funeral bells, each one striking his heart.
He covered his ears, his eyes red-rimmed.
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
He shot to his feet from the throne, his voice trembling with rage.
"The Imperial City has stood for a thousand years, the heart of the Empire, sheltering all its people—yet today it is trampled upon, humiliated, and bombarded at the invaders’ whim! This is the greatest disgrace imaginable!"
His finger stabbed toward the sky, the knuckles white with strain. "That adventurer named Faustus has shamed the entire Empire! What he humiliates is not merely me—he humiliates every citizen upon this land, the countless heroic souls who died for it, and the thousand years of glory this Empire once possessed!"
By the end, tears burst from his eyes.
"Wuu... the Empire... is finished... finished..."
At that moment, the ruler of an entire nation was weeping openly, sobbing until he could barely speak.
The ministers of the Empire all stood with lowered heads.
None dared speak.
None could.
...
Inside the Imperial City, the players of World Zone No. 1213 stared blankly up at the sky.
They watched the experts of World Zone No. 616 unleash apocalyptic power without restraint. They watched the magical barrier tremble under the ceaseless bombardment, flickering and dimming.
And hovering ten meters above the Imperial City, those legendary-grade experts—figures who had once been lofty, arrogant, and untouchable—were now shaking with rage.
Yet not a single one of them dared rush out beyond the barrier.
They had already been slaughtered into terror by Faustus and his people.
At this moment, the hearts of the players in World Zone No. 1213 had probably already died.
If even legendary-grade experts were like this, if even the Empire was powerless, then what could mere mortals like them possibly do?

"Hahahaha..."
After thoroughly humiliating the Empire of World Zone No. 1213 from top to bottom, Faustus finally laughed in satisfaction.
It was about time to stop.
The harvest from this trip was mountainous. It was time to return to his territory and digest it all properly.
Most important of all, he needed to use the Replica Crystal to duplicate three hundred Fragments of the Immortal Singularity.
Once he gathered enough, he could return to World Zone No. 616 and submit his class change quest.
And once the restrictions were lifted and his level started rising again, those forbidden spells would finally be able to display their true power.
Thinking of this, Faustus turned to Carodion and the others and said lightly,
"That’s enough. Leave His Majesty the Emperor his dog life for now."
"Withdraw."
All the experts answered in unison, "At your command, my lord!"
...
Mauler.
After returning to the Lord’s Manor, the first thing Faustus did was cast Summon of the Holy Angel.
He threw all the remains of the World Zone No. 1213 experts he had killed this time into the holy light.
After spending a massive amount of gold coins, thirty-eight legendary-grade experts of World Zone No. 1213 were reborn within the golden radiance.
Among them was that ruthless Transcendent Peak powerhouse—the Warden Lord of World Zone No. 1213!
Faustus gave him the name Hal, while the other thirty-seven were assigned names in sequence.
With the resurrection of this batch of legendary-grade experts, the strength under his command surged yet again.
He now had more than a hundred legendary-grade experts in his grasp, and the strongest among them was Hal—a Transcendent Peak existence!
Even Carodion was slightly inferior to him!
After counting the resurrected experts, Faustus shifted his attention to his backpack.
Inside lay seventy-three Fragments of the Immortal Singularity.
He only needed to use a single Replica Crystal, and his class change quest could be completed in one stroke.
The crystal could duplicate not only Fragments of the Immortal Singularity, but also Divinity Fragments.
However, he had already accumulated one hundred higher-tier Divinity Fragments, so there was no need to waste it on those.
He took out a [Replica Crystal] and one [Fragment of the Immortal Singularity].
[Ding! You are using the special item "Replica Crystal (supreme-grade)" to duplicate the special item "Fragment of the Immortal Singularity." Please confirm.]
"Confirm."
The Replica Crystal flashed several times. The light twisted, and it transformed directly into the appearance of a Fragment of the Immortal Singularity.
Immediately after, Daniel pulled out a huge handful of Replica Crystals from his backpack...
Three minutes later.
[Notification: You have used "Replica Crystal" and successfully obtained "Fragment of the Immortal Singularity" x1,000,000!]
The corners of Faustus’s lips curled upward.
He was delighted.
[Ding! Your class change quest has been completed. Please submit it as soon as possible.]
Now that the class change quest was complete, he could continue leveling up.
But there was no rush to return yet. He still had to clean up the mess over in World Zone No. 1213.
The gains from this trip were not limited to the system rewards. The number of legendary-grade experts under his command had soared, and on top of that, he had gained an entire main city and a major city.
He immediately summoned all the upper ranks of his legion and ordered troops to be dispatched to garrison the newly conquered cities. At the same time, he sent powerful experts to seize every city, large and small, within the territory of Divine Wrath City.
By this point, within World Zone No. 1213, one main city—[Divine Wrath City]—and three large cities—Mauler, Aha Harbor, and Earthspire—had all become Daniel’s territory.
If he also devoured all the subordinate cities beneath Divine Wrath City, then he would hold one-ninth of the Empire’s land in World Zone No. 1213 in his hands.
Besides, the experts under his command were both numerous and powerful, with a legendary-grade Transcendent Peak figure standing guard.
In terms of both number and level of legendary-grade experts, his faction was already capable of clashing head-on with the peak strength of World Zone No. 1213.
So he was not worried in the slightest that after he left, his territory would be counterattacked by either the Empire of World Zone No. 1213 or the undead army.
Only after everything had been more or less arranged did Daniel step into the portal and return to World Zone No. 616.
