They began to recap the entire situation.Why would the Destroyer want to reset the world? The answer was to eliminate all surviving humans, and he must have had his reasons for wanting to do so. Given the limit of his abilities, he was unable to eliminate them all in one fell swoop. He could only wipe out half of the population, proving that resetting the world inflicted a lot of damage on him. It was either that or he would be spending too much of his powers and leave himself in a weakened, vulnerable state. Because of this, he sent out monsters to deal with the remaining survivors. However, this raised a question—why had he chosen to erase the survivors' memories instead of letting his monsters finish the job if his aim was to eliminate all life on Earth? With the massive number and abilities of these monsters, combined with the aftermath of the reset, where everything was shrouded in darkness and no plants could grow, humans had only two choices. They ended up being killed by

"It’s the reason he's so adamant about finding Crutcher," Rozi said, proving that she knew him well.Everyone turned to look at Adrian.Steel asked, "Is this true, sir? What's on your mind?""Come on, sir. You should tell us what you're thinking even if you don't have any evidence to support it. This isn't the time for us to overlook any possibility," urged the others.Adrian smiled and said, "None of you have been able to read my thoughts despite the years we've spent together. Yet, Princess Rozi read me like a book though we've only known each other for a few days. You should all consider making her your role model."Laughter filled the room as Adrian continued, "Wonder found a way to defeat the Destroyer, which was why he chose to compromise."Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded. The Destroyer chose to compromise because Wonder found a way to defeat him? Seriously?'At that thought, Steel asked, "Do you have any basis for this theory, sir?"Adrian replied, "Rozi just mentio

A silence fell over the meeting room. Everyone was trying to process Adrian's words. His revelations had offered a glimpse into the future and brought hope. Judging that Rozi was from over two thousand years ago, maybe Wonder had left someone else behind—someone who held the key to ending the chaos.Steel said, "I see. You believe Crutcher might hold the key Wonder left behind and that he will be able to teach us how to defeat the Destroyer, is that right?"Adrian nodded. "I hadn't considered this at first, but Phillip made me reevaluate the entire situation when he told me about Crutcher. Why would Rozi say that Wonder won? That's because he managed to walk away after a confrontation with a powerhouse and even left behind the method for us to eliminate this powerhouse. It was a grand victory for Wonder. The Destroyer lost, and very thoroughly for that matter. It took him five thousand years to restore his powers and launch another reset, but he failed to erase all traces of what Won

"Everyone, you're dismissed. Remember, I'm still here, so don't give up hope. I will stand with you all and never retreat, no matter how tough the situation gets.”The meeting concluded, and Adrian quickly exited the meeting room, followed by Helen and the other women. He asked, "Susan, where are Sam and Nova? I'd like to see them.""They're their room. It shouldn’t be too difficult to find," Susan replied.Adrian nodded and made his way to the main hall.Samantha was tidying up the bed, while Gloria played with Nova. Having finally found a sense of security, Samantha's worries temporarily eased, and she and Gloria decided to share the room and the bed. Their bond had grown stronger through their shared experiences."Hey, you." Gloria looked up and greeted Adrian when he entered.Samantha, who had been tidying the bed, quickly turned with a smile on her face. Adrian smiled back and bent down to pick Nova up. "Papa!" Nova reached out to grab Adrian.Adrian turned to Samantha an

Adrian left after bidding Samantha and Gloria farewell. He had one ultimate dream, one that he shared with everyone. For the sake of survival, he had to leave Novemton and chase after even the slightest glimmer of hope.Rozi was already packed and waiting in the main hall. Steel and the others were also gathered. After all, nobody knew when Adrian was going to return."Sir!""Sir!"As Adrian stepped out, the crowd surrounded him. Helen and her sisters looked reluctant to see him go.Steel walked over and said, "This journey may be extremely dangerous, but we all sincerely hope for you to return, regardless of whether you find a solution or not. You're the only one who can bring us hope, and that's something everyone agrees on."Adrian nodded. He was now leaving with everyone's hopes and expectations, so he needed to return no matter what. He needed to return even if he failed to find a way to resolve the situation."Rest assured, I will come back. I want all of you to guard this

"You can do it, sir!" Adrian's departure carried not only their hopes but their collective trust in him as well. "He’s gone?" Samantha, who was feeding Nova, asked when Gloria walked in. Gloria had been atop the city wall and confirmed Adrian had left. "Yeah, he's gone. He's probably fighting off those monsters as we speak. The citizens have great faith in him, so he's sure to find a way to rescue them."Samantha sighed. "He said there's a chance for the people who vanished to return. I wonder if that's true. Do you think Mya and the others will be back?" Over the past few days, she had been missing her friends and family. Gloria sat on the bed and said, "I'm sure Adrian knows what he's talking about. There may be a chance for them to come back after he has killed the Creator.""I hope so. We've been blessed with somewhat peaceful days now that we're here. I'm so sorry for dragging you into all this, Gloria."Gloria shook her head. "I'm powerless right now, so as much as I wan

Other major cities were being reconstructed amid the chaos as well. Their defenses were being fortified, an effort by humans to fight against the monsters. With their communications reestablished, these cities were now in contact with each other as the people fought hard to restore what they had.Based on the information they had gathered, there were several hundred million survivors throughout Navia, two million of them being Wyvern Peak soldiers.***On the second day after Adrian left Novemton, a disheveled woman cautiously emerged from behind a hill in the remote wilderness two hundred kilometers away from Swallowston, nervously scanning her surroundings.Despite the monsters littering the outskirts, it was difficult for them to notice the woman unless she started a commotion. Seeing that the monsters were quite far away, she lay down to catch her breath.In her race against time and with her grumbling stomach, the woman crawled toward a heap of grass. It was brown due to the

Nadine crouched and sprinted toward an area that had no monsters. However, her movements alerted one of them and it began to pursue her.Panicking, Nadine ran as fast as she could. Due to her weakened state, she could barely stay on her feet. It was her survival instincts that took over. She had no idea when she would ever find safety or how long she had to run. ***Meanwhile, a car was steadily traveling across an empty street far away from Nadine's location. Adrian was behind the wheel, while Rozi munched on some jerky as she gazed outside. "Do you know where we are?" Adrian asked.Rozi wiped her mouth and looked at Adrian in confusion. "No."Adrian smiled. "This is Vanglesville.""Vanglesville? The place where its people became legates?" Rozi asked curiously as she took a sip of water."This is the place where Jerome was found as a baby!" "War Legate Dominus?" Rozi had heard of how Adrian was Jerome’s mentor, and that he had replaced Adrian as the next legate. Adrian n

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 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
