Author: Celestial Clouds
"We have no choice but to stick with you, sir. Thank goodness you're still around, or we'd be sitting ducks," Cian said as he heaved a sigh.

"What are your orders, sir?" Padraig asked.

"Let's go to the base and take a look around first. We have to see if there are any survivors left before we move on to Novemton. We can build a safe zone with everyone's help before we think of a way to defeat him, but if Crystal is dead, we'll have to think of another plan. Come on."

Adrian led everyone down the mountain. Cian and the others wiped away their tears before following him.

Rozi walked next to Adrian and asked, "We don't know if your wife and daughter were affected by the reset. Do you want to go home and take a look before we regroup and plan?"

"It wouldn't help our cause if I went and found that they've disappeared. If they're still alive, they've probably gone somewhere safe. There’s no need for me to look for them right now."

"Are you sure?"

Adrian nodded.

    Adrian got up and summoned Dragonbane in his right hand. At that moment, he possessed Dragonbane's powers, but he himself was not an immortal. He was not sure how long he would be able to last with just the sword.If Adrian truly wanted to stand a chance against the Creator, he needed to exceed his limits and become an immortal. However, he chose not to think about that for now since Dragonbane would suffice against these monsters. Adrian strode into the base, and the monsters immediately turned toward him upon detecting human scent. All eight of them let out a cry before rushing toward him in a maddened frenzy. One of them was a gorilla with extreme speed, letting out a loud yell and spitting out blood from its mouth. The monsters were charging in from different directions, but Adrian held Dragonbane up and yelled, "Bring it on!"Roar!The gorilla roared and swung at Adrian. Dragonbane let off a golden glow before piercing through the gorilla's stomach and slicing it in half. T

    Before seeing Adrian and Oliver return in one piece, they thought that all hope was lost."It's so good to see you two alive, sirs." An ordinary-looking young man wiped away his tears of joy as the other stood behind him.Oliver asked, "Lyle, what happened here? Where are the others?"The young man's name was Lyle Higgins, a team leader in Mount Gremont Railway's security team. When the reset happened, many of the management-level staff disappeared. Lyle immediately led the survivors underground, where they had remained in hiding for three days.Lyle replied, "We don't know what happened. The sky just became like that all of a sudden, followed by people vanishing into thin air while monsters appeared. We are all that’s left. I brought everyone underground, hoping someone would send in reinforcements, but nobody came. Our wireless devices don’t work, so we can’t make contact with anyone outside the base. Neither could we do anything reckless with the monsters around."Cian, Oliver,

    Rozi’s family was gone by the time she regained consciousness, and she now had to face a global catastrophe that had hit the future generation. She knew this would be immensely difficult to resolve.Half an hour passed as Rozi and Adrian discussed matters. Lyle and the others managed to calm down and accept everything that was happening. Now, they were prepared to do whatever was necessary to rectify the situation."Sir!""Sir!"They walked toward the man they saw as their last hope. Humans were pack animals, requiring a leader to guide them in the right direction.Adrian asked, "Have you all managed to calm down? Feel free to ask me any questions that are on your mind."A young man stepped forward and rubbed his reddened eyes. "Sir, all of this happened so suddenly. I'm not sure if my family is still alive. Do you think I'll be able to see them again in the future?"Everyone, including Adrian, wished to see their friends and family. However, from that day onwards, they were all

    Oliver said, "It usually takes three days to get to Novemton from here, but with the monsters lurking around, I doubt we'd make it there even in a month.”"We have a car, Mr. Oliver," Lyle said.These words were music to Oliver's ears. Adrian was surprised to hear this as well. After all, vehicles were an extremely important commodity in such a situation.Lyle continued, "Although most of our vehicles were damaged, we still have a few semi-trucks from a stock delivery. We could ride them to Novemton if needed."Oliver and the others celebrated. Their journey would be a lot shorter with the help of those vehicles.Adrian said, "Lyle, take a few men with you and prepare the vehicles. Oliver, Cian, Padraig, I want you three to gather all of the rations and weapons you can find and put them in the vehicles. We're taking the supplies with us to Novemton.""Yes, sir!" Everyone responded in unison. Oliver and the others hurried off to accomplish their assigned tasks. Adrian walked tow

    After twenty minutes, six trailers drove into the base. Under Oliver’s guidance, everyone moved the weapons, food, and water onto the trailers. They split the supplies among the six trailers in case anything bad happened. They emptied out the whole base and got ready to receive Adrian's next orders. They were lined up in a row when Adrian and Rozi got back."This isn't a drill. It’s a race against time for our very lives. Plants will not survive without sunlight, and it's only a matter of time before we run out of food. If we pool together the city's reserves, I believe we’ll have three years' worth of rations. So, we have to win this battle within that time or we'll starve to death before he even kills us. Once we run out of food, all hope of survival dies. Is that clear?" "Yes, sir!"Adrian nodded and continued, "I'm going to break you into groups. If any of you think you have something unique to offer, please step forward. Oliver will record your skills and information. We hav

    “Matthias, I need you to focus on the communicators. We're going to need them up and running as soon as possible.""On it, sir.”"Let's move.” The six trailers departed Mount Gremont's base. They were going to go through the mountains to reach the nearby villages. After checking around for a while, Adrian would continue onwards, passing through the other counties along the way, before arriving at Novemton.Sitting in the passenger seat of the frontmost trailer, Adrian had a serious look. He gazed at the snowy mountains and frequently spotted monsters lurking about. Some of them were even wielding weapons.Suddenly, a monster army appeared in the distance. More than two hundred monsters screamed and screeched as they charged toward the trailers. "Over there, sir!" Cian yelled.Adrian immediately noticed the monsters, and so did everyone else. "Speed up!" Adrian then picked up a gun and climbed to the roof of the trailer. “We've got company! Prepare for battle!" Adrian yelle

    They either had to stop the trailers or continue on and ram into the monster. The trailers would surely overturn upon impact, but if they stopped, the monsters behind would catch up and topple the trailers. In other words, they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.Adrian yelled, "Keep driving! Rozi!"A figure dashed out of the rearmost trailer. It was Rozi, brandishing her rainbow-light sword. "Go!"Adrian jumped off the trailer. He and Rozi took a side each, running past the trailers and toward the monster horde. Bam!!! The moment they entered the monster ranks, Dragonbane shot out a golden beam that devoured everything it touched. Grabbing onto a monster, Adrian stabbed it through the heart before hurling it away. Rozi matched his movements and slashed out with her sword, claiming monster heads or cutting them in half. Both were tirelessly taking out the monsters on the road as more charged toward them.The trailers were able to safely cross the road thanks to the pa

    “Sir, all the residents in the alleys have been evacuated to the third safe zone. You may begin retreating now," a voice said through the communicators. Yelloton had set up a wireless communication system the second day after the reset. Because of this, Jerome was able to continuously locate survivors. Over the past few days, he had managed to evacuate the survivors into twenty safe zones. However, many of his subordinates either fell or were in critical condition. "Everyone, retreat. Move discreetly to the nearest safe zones," Jerome immediately instructed upon receiving the news."Squad one, copy!""Squad two, copy!""Retreating now!"The gunshots stopped, replaced by the sound of footsteps moving through the alley as the soldiers retreated to their safe zones. "Squad thirteen, clear.""Squad fourteen, clear.""Squad three, clear."After everyone had retreated, the same voice came through Jerome's communicator. "Everyone has retreated, sir. You may retreat now.""Copy!"

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?

    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

    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

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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

    "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
