The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1646
What's the situation in Novemton? I need specifics," Adrian calmly said as he sat down.Steel reported, "We can only defend half the city with our current forces, so we've built walls around the city to stop the monsters from entering. These walls were created with concrete and steel rebars, making them quite strong. But due to the limited time and resources we have, we weren't able to build the walls that are taller and stronger.”Steel sounded slightly embarrassed at that last statement. He had done all this within a few days, and it was the best he could do based on his abilities and the resources they had. "You've done well. However, we can no longer determine how long we can defend Novemton. We need to think further. So—"Steel interrupted, "Are you saying we need to be prepared to live in Novemton for the long term?""Correct. So, we need to defend this city. We need to reinforce our walls and redevelop the place. Once that's done, we can figure out a way to defeat the Crea

Adrian's actions made Steel believe even more firmly there was hope for them. "Sir, I trust that War Legate Dominus and the other youngsters will one day accomplish this grand mission on your behalf." "Steel, allow me to introduce you to a friend. You could also say that she's our ancestor," Adrian said with a smile, which left Steel confused. A woman with slender legs walked into the room. She was one of the most beautiful women Steel had ever laid eyes on. Her mature temperament even left him feeling dazed for a moment. "Who's this, sir?" Rozi calmly sat down on the couch. Over the past few days, she had grown accustomed to living in this modern world.Adrian replied, "This is Abioye Rozi. Rozi is the Partingian princess from a thousand and two hundred years ago.” "What?!" Steel was so astonished that he staggered backward.A thousand and two hundred years?Color began to drain from Steel's face as he asked, "Are you kidding me, sir? She's a thousand and two hundred ye

Steel picked up the stone and took a closer look at it. "Isn't this a meteorite from Isle 416? But there's something different about this one… It's got these textures on it.""We got that from the monsters," Adrian said. "Why would something like this be found within the monsters?"Steel was thoroughly shocked. Everything he thought he knew about the world was being overturned. First, there was a woman who was over a thousand years old, and she was a Partingian princess from a country that had long since perished. Now, there was the stone of strange origins in front of him.Sensing Steel's confusion, Adrian said, "The meteorites have a powerful effect that affects and mutates the human genome but does not kill them. Let's put it this way. If a person was unable to control their mutation, they'd end up like Gloria. They would ultimately die if they didn’t receive treatment. However, as each individual's physique is different, some end up dead from the mutation while others undergo

“Runemasters?""That's right. It was a popular profession, and these people forged all sorts of weapons using said runes. This allowed them complete control over the weapon."Steel shook his head, unable to comprehend the true power behind the profession. Rozi was saying these few engravings would allow an immortal control over an item? That sounded unbelievable.Rozi struggled to explain this in modern terms, so Adrian said, "Those runes are similar to our blood circulatory system. Immortals infused their powers into these runes. This is similar to the blood being pumped through our veins, allowing us control over specific limbs. On top of that, there are all sorts of runes, each with its own password. It's like our safety boxes that can't be opened unless we know the password.""How are these passwords defined then?" Steel asked. "It's similar to QR codes or number passwords. They can be activated through different degrees of power, how frequently those powers are infused, the

“Also, I need you to mobilize technicians to get our electric generators up and running so that we have electricity running through the city.""Okay." Adrian turned around and continued, "I need another group to collect all the building materials we can find to build more walls and expand our territory. When we have electricity, we need to build greenhouses to grow plants.“And one more thing. Do everything you can to restore the factories in the city. Focus on those that can be of help to us. For example, factories that manufacture equipment, ammunition, weapons, and armor. I want all advanced weaponry to be revamped. We need more firepower around the city.""Yes, sir," Steel responded. "Steel, these are extremely important tasks, so I need you to complete them no matter what. We only have one shot at this, so we can't afford to fail.""I swear on my life that I will not let you down, sir.""All right. Go gather the scientists and academicians. I'd like to have a conference w

Rozi fell silent. She wanted to head over to Mount Shangspar more than anyone since it was the resting place of her family. However, she knew she needed to focus on the bigger picture.***Adrian proceeded to familiarize himself with Novemton's situation from the Department, burning everything he had learned into his mind. He then came up with a unique plan. He decided to create a new Novemton, and the survivors would be his weapon to start this new prosperous age. He wanted to see how the Creator was going to retaliate against this plan of his. Steel spent the afternoon gathering academicians, scientists, medics, and researchers. There were a large number of them among the five hundred thousand survivors. These elites gathered within the Department's conference room. Hugh walked into the conference room with two men in their sixties beside him. "Sir Draco, my name is Hugh Shephard. I was Monarch Crystal's subordinate,” Hugh introduced himself since that was their first time me

“Mortimer's right, sir. All our information, records, and equipment are back at the office. We need to access our lab to start back up the research," Hodge implored. Hugh frowned. "Sir, their office is about fifteen kilometers away from our walls and it’s filled with monsters. And those particular monsters are ferocious. It won't be an easy task to reach the office."Adrian knew how important getting to the laboratory was. However, even if they did manage to get there, there was no guarantee the records and data were still intact. Thus, there was only one option now."Hugh, starting today, I want you and Steel to take up separate roles. Steel will be in charge of rebuilding Novemton and its defenses, while you're in charge of re-establishing our electricity supply and online systems. You have three days to accomplish your task. Can you do it?"After pondering for a moment, Hugh replied, "I can get the electricity back up and running. Although the cables are pretty badly damaged, w
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1653
Adrian was slightly discouraged. He surmised it would be hard for the monsters to siege Novemton if they could rig the city's surroundings with high-voltage electricity, but based on current technology, it was an impossible task.Hugh then said, "However, we could adapt your strategy by rigging the city with high-voltage electricity as a final resort. Should we fail to defend the city, we could activate this electrical defense as an insurance policy."Adrian did not comment on the matter, thinking that it was something for a later time. What Hugh needed to focus on was providing electricity to the city and re-establishing an Internet connection. Novemton would prosper once those two things were done. "Start repairing the signal tower, Hugh. I'll have Steel send out a team to assist you. They'll make sure you and your team are safe should you all run into any danger. Remember, you have to succeed in your mission.”"Yes, sir." Adrian then gestured for Hugh to get to work. He turne

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

"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
