“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

"We may be defeated, but we can’t let it stop us from progressing. I swear on my life to fight this battle alongside you until the end.""Until the end!" the group echoed. "All right. From now on, I want each of you to take up responsibilities according to your professions and abilities. Feel free to make any suggestion you think will benefit us. Let's keep on pushing forward.""Yes, sir.” As the crowd applauded, Helen, along with Susan and Chrissy, anxiously walked into the conference room. "We've got a problem, sir!" Helen said. Adrian approached them and asked, "What is it?"Helen took a deep breath to calm herself before she answered, “We found a new species of monster outside the city. They're extremely small, but possess powerful offensive capabilities and can climb walls. These things bit some of our soldiers and killed them on the spot.""What?”“Everyone, please get to work. Don't let whatever's happening out there affect your focus. You're all core members in the c

"What's the matter, sir?" Cian asked, "You're scaring us, sir." Everyone felt as though a storm was about to befall them. Adrian's fists were tightly clenched while Rozi had turned pale. Adrian finally answered, "Have everyone return to their homes and lock themselves in. Nobody is to remain out on the streets.""Sir, what…" "Just go!" Adrian shouted.Cian was about to ask something but Adrian’s outburst shocked him and he immediately ran off to do as told. Adrian looked toward the outside of the city and said, "I thought those monsters before were already his trump cards. Who would've thought he’s got more tricks up his sleeve… Things just got really sticky for us.""Sir, are you saying those things have invaded our city?" Barry asked. Rozi said, "Adrian, we have to think of something. We'll be in a lot of trouble if those climbing monsters invade us in large numbers. The usual monsters have large bodies, which gives a fighting chance against them. Against creatures as sm

"Don't move," Rozi whispered before proceeding to fly forward and cut the Climber in half. The monster struggled for a little while before dying. "I think we've been thinking about this too naively. The fact there are large monsters must mean there would be those as small as these Climbers. They're capable of climbing walls no matter how tall they are, and this city will be filled with corpses if we don't find a way to stop them."Rozi looked at the Climber carcasses and took a deep breath as Adrian silently looked into the distance. There was a commotion coming from the airport as planes took off from their platforms to scatter sulfur all over Novemton. Adrian said, "That chemical is poisonous. We should head home and put on a gas mask." The pair then jumped off the wall as the sulfur scattered across every corner, floor, and roof. It looked like it was snowing. The survivors hid in their homes while wearing gas masks. The whole city was filled with a sulfuric smell after the
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1657
Climbers were small-sized monsters, making them difficult to fight against. It was unnoticeable if one was not paying attention. To make matters worse, they carried a deadly toxin that could kill anyone once they bit. If Novemton was already having a hard time thinking of a strategy to fight against these creatures, what more of other cities?According to Adrian's instructions, everyone in Novemton began to revamp the city and prepare themselves for future battles. Meanwhile, the survivors from other cities were either on the run or fighting against the monsters. Nobody knew what was going to happen to the world. ***The sound of a baby’s cries could be heard coming from a mini supermarket in Swallowston. Samantha quickly stopped whatever she was doing and picked Nova up from the mattress to comfort her."Please don't cry, baby." Samantha was quite anxious, afraid that Nova's crying would attract the monsters nearby. All of Swallowston had delved into chaos. The monsters ran r

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
