Chapter 177
But when Joanna gained the No-Loss Principle (Gold-tier), the power of the rules began to affect ordinary staff members. Those people had no way to resist a Gold- tier skill.
Because of that, in the second phase, Joanna earned 15.7 billion Starcoins. In the third phase, she earned 14.3 billion Starcoins.
She had worked with them only because time was tight.
By herself, she could not gather that many resources so fast. She did not expect them to play dirty.
They had no honesty. They made Joanna take a loss.
After that, how could there be any talk of a second partnership?
Louise felt deep regret. Still, just making contact with Joanna once had already brought her company huge profits. After the contract ended, the dungeon had been cleared down to Normal difficulty. They could still enter it, but the rewards were much smaller.
That was why upper management sent Louise again, hoping to continue the cooperation.
Sadly, things were different now.
Joanna was about to enter the academy. She no longer cared about scraps like these.
But Louise had another reason for calling today.
“Joanna, have you heard about the recent attack on Grayfog Star p>
“What?” Joanna froze.
She had been busy training and improving her combat skills every day. She truly had not heard this news.
Besides, different planes had different prison worlds. On Chromatic Star, criminals

were usually held on Thunderfall Star and Grayfog Star.
On the Divine Demonic Planet, prisons were located on Abysson.
So Joanna had never paid attention to news about Grayfog Star.
For Louise to bring this up now, it could only mean one thing.
This had something to do with her.
Joanna’s thoughts raced.

“Did Lucas and the others break out of prison p>
Louise shook her head. “It’s hard to say if this is good or bad news. They didn’t escape on their own. The group that attacked Grayfog Star has publicly claimed responsibility.
“They call themselves Bloodmoon. They’re a group of madmen who raid humans and offer sacrifices to an evil god to gain power.
“According to the investigation, their goal this time was very clear. They came to take people. They rescued Lucas and the others. It looks like they want to raise them as the chosen one of the Evil God p>
Joanna frowned deeply.
This was not good news.
She had planned to crush Lucas and the others completely.
She never expected that, in less than a month, they would escape.
Worse, they had joined an evil god cult.
Joanna’s sense of danger rose instantly.
She did not believe those selfish, ruthless people would ever let her go.
Before, they had not taken revenge and had obediently gone to prison because they lacked strength.

Once people gained power, they forgot everything else.
“Are they sure Lucas and the others are being trained?” Joanna asked. “Or were they just used as sacrifices p>
Louise replied, “Bloodmoon said it themselves. They even mocked the Space Alliance, saying it didn’t value even S-rank talents. They openly invited frustrated professionals to join them. They claim they can raise talent levels and greatly boost combat strength.
“These past few days, Chromatic Star has been unsettled.
“Some people have already disappeared p>
Joanna let out a cold laugh.
“If skill were that easy to improve on, there wouldn’t be so many low-level professionals switching to support and life-class jobs. And Evil God ‘gifts’? They actually dare to take those p>
Evil God dungeons were the strangest and most dangerous of all. Their rule powers were unpredictable and deadly.
emembered an old report. Once, an entire plane was invaded by an evil
he Evil God entered people’s dreams and asked them a simple question: Were they willing to trade time for money?
After all, people worked eight hours a day for 40 years just to retire and receive about 3,000 Starcoins a month.
The Evil God offered one gold coin per day. Each coin weighed about 0.35 ounces and was worth 10,000 Starcoins. No more work.
Give up early. Enjoy early.
Some thought it was just a dream and agreed.
When they woke up, they had aged forty years. They were suddenly 65 years old.

They did receive one gold coin each day, but their youth was gone forever.
Worse, the coins could not be melted or used normally. They could only be traded with the Evil God. To buy back their youth, the elderly began killing each other to earn more coins. That world collapsed overnight. Law meant nothing. In the end, the Space Alliance had to intervene using dungeon powers. They created the dungeon “Evil God’s Dream (Hell-tier)”, a Level 30 dungeon. Even now, very few teams had ever cleared it.
Still, Joanna did not relax. She understood how evil those evil gods were. But for people with no way out, this might look like hope.
If she herself had not used the Bloodcall Circle summon, Joanna could not say she would never have chosen that path.
Louise nodded. She knew Joanna was talking about ordinary people but also about people like them. “It’s just that talent upgrade stones are insanely expensive,” Louise said softly. “That’s what pushes people to extremes. Kayden probably has no chance. But the other four, they might really be trained p>
