Since the "Strongman Armor" and the "Dragon God's Scale" were both types of armor and couldn't be equipped simultaneously, Alex decided to fully swap out his "Strongman" set for the "Dragon God" set. Once fully equipped, his attributes became overwhelmingly powerful.

Alex's stamina, energy, and health were particularly exceptional. With 630% stamina, he no longer needed to worry about endurance, and his 230% energy allowed for an enormous output in battle.
Near East Sea City, there were originally seven resource points. After successfully capturing three, four should have remained. However, after the city was upgraded to a Tier-2 Novice City, the map expanded, revealing 17 resource points in total. In addition, several monster nests had appeared, numbering nearly ten in total.
While attacking monster nests provided higher rewards, the number of creatures in these nests was far greater than those guarding the resource points. Although attacking them was possible, it would consume too much energy and take longer, so Alex and his team chose to focus on a nearby resource point.
This resource point was a massive stone platform resembling an altar, surrounded by a horde of Belos creatures wielding long spears. By rough estimate, there were over a thousand of them.
Interestingly, this stone platform wasn't the closest resource point to the city. Within a 5-kilometer radius, there were two or three other resource points. However, since other teams were already battling the monsters there, Alex's group decided to avoid causing any misunderstandings or accusations of stealing kills.
With their flight equipment, the difference between traveling 5 or 10 kilometers was negligible—they could reach their destination in minutes.
Once they locked in on their target, Daniel led the charge, diving into the monster horde with a loud battle cry! Michael and the others followed suit, unleashing their skills with reckless abandon. Before they even made contact with the monsters, a large number of blue spear-wielding creatures had already been blown away by the onslaught.
Yet, the most striking figure on the battlefield was still Alex. With his far superior gear, his speed outpaced the others by a mile. Though he attacked later, he reached the horde first. A single basic attack, enhanced by the "Dragon God's Flame" second ability, **Explosive Flame**, unleashed terrifying power.
A golden burst of flame shot from the tip of his spear, spreading out in a semicircle with a radius of over 10 meters. Even though it dealt only 1% of his attack damage, Alex's immense power—further amplified by the **400% boost from Dragon God's Might**—instantly annihilated all the monsters caught in the golden firestorm.
While the others displayed impressive visual effects with their attacks, Alex's was decisive and brutal, wiping out at least dozens of creatures with a single blow.
And the **Explosive Flame** ability, being just a regular attack effect, had an original cooldown of 20 seconds. However, thanks to the time reduction effect of **Dragon God's Might**, it could be triggered every 10 seconds.
In less than five minutes, the entire horde of over a thousand creatures was decimated. More than half of the kills belonged to Alex alone, even though he was holding back. This stark contrast left Jenny and the five new SR-grade wielders speechless. Despite sharing the same potential level, their actual combat power was still miles behind Alex.
Even Daniel jokingly thought that, no matter how powerful someone else might become, it would be hard to avoid getting instantly defeated by Alex. After all, Alex had dealt over 10,000 points of damage in just one blow the previous day. No one believed that anyone's health could exceed 10,000 points—at least not yet. And if anyone's health did, well, one strike wouldn't work, but two certainly would.
After clearing out the thousand-plus monsters, no one bothered scavenging through the battlefield. They only picked up items dropped by purple-colored creatures, leaving the rest behind. Thanks to Alex's **Explosive Flame**, most of the defeated monsters were burned to ashes, and only valuable items like gems and awakening stones remained intact on the ground, making them easy to collect.
Once the monsters were cleared, everyone decided to head straight into the stone gate and onto the platform without wasting time.
Inside the massive stone platform, they discovered it was actually a labyrinth-like structure. Visibility was limited to just over 100 meters, where they saw more Belos creatures battling against another type of monster—large, dog-like beasts. The labyrinth stretched to a gigantic wall at the far end of their view.
The dog-like monsters were called **Yellow Sand Beasts**. Resembling regular yellow dogs but scaled up dozens of times, these beasts were just as large as the guardian creatures of previous resource points. Despite their simple appearance, the Yellow Sand Beasts were highly formidable. As they moved, they stirred up swirling clouds of dust, hiding themselves from view. Moving in packs, they were like a terrifying sandstorm, holding back the Belos monsters and stalling their progress.
This difference in strength was expected. After conquering several resource points, Alex and his team had noticed that even among N-grade points, there were varying levels of difficulty.
For example, the first resource point Alex's group had captured, **Bear Mountain**, produced **Bear Fruits** used for food, which, though profitable, was rated as a lower-tier resource point.
In contrast, **The Tree of Life**, though still producing food, yielded **Life Fruits** with health restoration properties, making it a medium-tier resource point with higher value.
The stone platform they were currently attacking was named **Stardust Altar**. While it didn't produce any direct resources, it was still highly rated due to its rarity. According to the description, the Stardust Altar could produce **Stardust Eyes**, items used to enhance equipment, with a chance to generate rare effects during the enhancement process, making it a highly cost-effective resource point.
