Oliver was installed as chief engineer, leading the construction of the Mount Gremont Railway. Novemton buzzed with excitement at the immediate launching of the railway's construction plans.When Oliver returned home that day, he packed his stuff and reluctantly bade his family goodbye. His wife, Jennifer Heart, held their son's hand, Timmy Aero, as they stood outside the bedroom. They gazed at Oliver in silence. Once Oliver finished packing, he stood up and looked toward the doorway. "Are you leaving now?" Jennifer asked, the reluctance evident in her voice.Oliver took a deep breath and nodded resolutely. "Monarch Crystal entrusted me with the railway project. The hopes of all of Novemton rest on my shoulders. This is a significant responsibility. I have to leave you both and head to Mount Gremont to oversee its progress. The day the railway is completed will be the day I come home,” he said softly.Jennifer covered her mouth with her hands. In their ten years of marriage, she
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1399
Brave soldiers who fought valiantly on the battlefield were hailed as heroes. But throughout Novemton's history, there had been countless civilians who became legends. These people never set foot on the battlefield but devoted their entire lives to various endeavors. Such individuals came to also be known as heroes.Oliver Aero, originally from a humble background, had been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the construction of the Mount Gremont Railway. And thus, began his journey. Following Crystal’s orders, he led a team of engineers toward their first on-site inspection.The Mount Gremont Railway Project had begun.***As the plan progressed, the attention of the populace was focused on Mount Gremont. However, Novemton headquarters was focusing on a particular individual who was within the Uduma Desert. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.On this day, Crystal hurriedly entered the control room and asked, "What's the situation in Enig
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1400
Crystal nodded, thinking that the matter needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. A notification came from Wyvern Peak moments after Crystal gave out her order."Your Majesty, War Legate Dominus has requested to speak with you.""Put him on the line.”When the link was established, Jerome, who had been discharged and was back on duty, showed up on screen. "How are you feeling, Jerome? I've been busy recently, so I haven't been able to visit."Ignoring Crystal's question, Jerome said, "I heard about what the outlanders have been up to at the Uduma Desert. You’ll be sending scouts there, right?”"Yes. I've just ordered my people to scope out the situation. We have to get to the bottom of this," Crystal replied.Jerome shook his head. "Our people should remain focused on the Mount Gremont Railway. Nothing else. Don't you think everything the outlanders are doing is just the thing we need right now?""What do you mean?" Crystal inquired.Jerome explained, "The outlanders fo

Crystal was rendered speechless. Jerome and Samantha were trying to prevent her from taking action when logically they should be the ones most concerned about Adrian. She remained silent for a moment before she asked, "Are you sure about this, Sam?"Samantha nodded firmly, "I'm sure, Your Majesty. We should trust Adrian will succeed, which is why I'd request that you rescind your order.""All right then, I won't do anything about the matter.” Crystal heaved a sigh of relief before turning toward Jerome. "Make sure nothing goes wrong with the railway construction, Dominus. I need you and your people to ensure everyone's safety. Report back to me the moment you get anything.""Yes, Your Majesty," Jerome replied."All right, I'm hanging up now." Crystal ended the call.Samantha said, "Thank you for rescinding your order, Your Majesty." Crystal turned to Samantha and replied, "Draco has had many miracles happen to him throughout his life, so why should I choose to not believe in h

Adrian got rations from the Rondoniers, and they would not expire until ten years from now. He had found over thirty Rondonier corpses near a sewer's entrance. After looting their belongings, he found large quantities of rations including compressed biscuits and canned food which were still edible. Judging by the state of the corpses, these Rondoniers had died five years ago, killed by zombie guards. After obtaining more than thirty portions of rations, Adrian could survive for a few more months in the city. Through this discovery, he also deduced that the Rondoniers had found this city a long time ago, but they were unable to venture deeper due to how dangerous it was. After the existence of immortals had been made known, the Rondoniers, along with other organizations, resumed their exploration.Having held the position of legate for a long time, Adrian found his train of thought becoming clearer and clearer. ‘I'm currently in the southern part of Enigma City. It’s pretty deep into
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1403
Adrian carefully avoided the zombies all day. Although they were not very strong, it was hard to kill them when they had the numbers. Adrian could not afford to engage in prolonged battles against them as he needed to reach the tower and uncover its hidden truths as soon as possible.Having to avoid the zombies, Adrian could only cover eight hundred meters per day. He had to find ways to avoid them or he would find himself involved in another large-scale battle. ***Night fell, and the streets of Enigma City were enveloped in darkness. Adrian stopped moving since he could not move about without any light. It had been thirty-one nights since Adrian arrived in Enigma City, and the moonlight tonight was exceptionally bright. He made an estimation of the date by looking at the night sky. His cell phone had run out of battery a long time ago, so he could not refer to it to find out what day it was. However, he could deduce the days based on how bright and how round the moon was.The
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1404
The people's excitement was palpable as they shouted and cheered. Adrian stood on the side of the street, surrounded by these people. He could see them, but they did not seem to see him."What is happening?"Amazed, Adrian reached out to touch the person nearest to him but was unable to do so no matter how hard he tried. He quickly understood what was going on."I see. This is a refraction similar to the desert mirage. The people in front of me are all refractions of light. What I'm seeing right now is actually a scene in Enigma City from over a thousand years ago. Somehow, this scene is being projected. Is it caused by the full moon or is it that green light from the tower?"Adrian looked around. He now understood that what he was seeing was a projection of events that had occurred in Enigma City over a thousand years ago—a natural phenomenon replayed through some kind of complex phenomenon.In other words, Adrian was watching something similar to a television show, and the scene
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1405
Surprised, Adrian took a few steps back.The woman looked at him with a determined expression after mouthing the words as though she was looking right into his eyes. She only looked away from him when the carriage had passed.Adrian felt a shock run through him. He stepped back, confused and astonished by what had happened. He tried to rationalize everything.‘Was that the princess of Partingia? But this is nothing more than watching a show as an audience. These people are just characters in the show, so how could she see me? These events happened over a thousand years ago, a time when I couldn’t have possibly existed.’Adrian was overwhelmed with astonishment. He wondered if he was trapped in some kind of illusion. But what happened was definitely no illusion. The woman inside the carriage had communicated with him.Perhaps she had been addressing someone who had also stood where Adrian was standing at that exact moment over a thousand years ago. But if that was the case, that pe

The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
