The game has become a real alternate world
Chapter 1028 - 709: The Final Step
Kana slowly emerged from the clouds, hovering outside the city of the Ratmen.
The powerful figures within the United Army sensed this anomaly, and their gazes all simultaneously focused on Kana.
Unconsciously, everyone held their breath, even at their level, the tension in their hearts was hard to suppress.
The legendary figures hidden in the shadows also silently watched everything.
"A Legendary limit-breaker... is this what it means to be favored by the world? So unfair," a legendary figure hidden in the shadows couldn’t help but murmur.
Such a rapid ascent, even these legendary figures who have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, couldn’t help but feel jealous.
After all, how could someone so young reach the limit-breaker realm? It’s unheard of.
Bear in mind, Elves at forty years are still like young children. And Kana is not yet forty, it’s simply too incredible.
"If you are willing to do what he did, and do it better, you could achieve it too; otherwise, shut up, you’re such a coward," another legendary figure not far away couldn’t help but scold.
The legendary figure named Mabel heard this and frowned, retorting to the hidden legendary figure: "Paf, when you say such things, you better restrain that damned look in your eyes, you’re so jealous that your eyes are red."
"Bullshit, my eyes are naturally red," the legendary Werewolf beastman called Paf cursed loudly.
Mabel, known as the "Thief," ignored him and focused on Kana in mid-air.
This wasn’t the first time the two had seen Kana.
They still remembered the first time they saw Kana, it was many years ago.
To the legendary figures, that time was like a fleeting horse, passing in an instant.
It was during the siege when the Blood Race King picked up a Gemstone and made a wish that they saw Kana.
At that time, Kana was just a member of the United Army, a Prince who fled from the Blood Race Empire, merely a minor character in that war.
Yet, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Kana transformed from an insignificant extra to the undeniable protagonist of this world.
To say they weren’t envious would be a lie.
But to actually do the things that Kana did, they also knew they couldn’t compare.
Just like the journey of the Night Watchers, although Kana made a wish that granted the world some favors initially, if anyone else could accomplish what Kana did, the world would grant them favor too.
It’s just that, unfortunately, they couldn’t.
In a world on the brink of despair and facing the end of days, the emergence of a group like the Night Watchers, which brings a glimpse of hope and the possibility of resistance, is undeniably a stroke of luck.
And those legendary figures who waver between right and wrong did so because they still harbored attachment to this world, a deep desire to resist.
However, as legendary figures, when they look up at the starry sky and see the Void gradually encroaching, an endless despair inevitably wells up inside them.
It is the protocol from the Star Realm, a true world calamity, the absolute existence of the "Destruction" rule.
One legendary figure after another arrived in succession.
"Elder Mage, what brings you here?" Mabel asked, unable to resist upon seeing someone familiar.
The Elder Mage known as Dufar glanced in the direction of the voice, found it was Mabel the "Thief," and disdainfully snorted.
Mabel didn’t mind this.
After all, he ascended to the Legendary Stage thanks to the Thief profession; "theft" is the powerful force he delved into during the Legendary Stage.
The stronger and richer someone is, the more they dislike people like him, and Dufar is clearly one of them. Dufar is a Level Fourteen Elder Mage, powerful and wealthy.
However, facing Rule Level theft abilities, sometimes there’s not much he can do.
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed, and in an instant, the whole world seemed to fall silent. All present directed their gaze onto the dark clouds.
The vortex-like storm clouds slowly dispersed, revealing an ordinary-looking mouse atop the spire.
It appeared extremely common, no different from countless Ratmen.
Yet, astonishingly, all sharp-eared Ratmen knelt down. Even though they were in defensive status, with the United Army positioned in front of them in full readiness, they still unhesitatingly abandoned everything and knelt reverently, as if welcoming the supreme existence.
This might have been a perfect opportunity to attack, but no one in the United Army initiated an assault. For they understood, that was an Evil God. Even if just a Level Fifteen Evil God, it was still a god.
At times like this, even though it seemed like a good chance, they had to endure and wait for the right moment.
"My race was born from your desires, their evil is essentially your evil.
"I, too, was born from your evil desires, when you see me, it’s like seeing your own darkness."
The voice of the Evil Rat was neither sharp nor harsh, nor did it evoke aversion, sounding quite ordinary.
However, when its words fell, everyone present was inflicted with a negative status. The Night Watchers could clearly see this status on their own attribute panel:
[Inherent Evil: You have gazed upon the Evil God born of your wickedness. Ignores Spirit resistance, ignores evil defense, this is your own evil, Spirit -1, willpower strengthened.]
A minor commotion arose within the United Army, yet chaos did not ensue.
Though this strange status called "Inherent Evil" made some soldiers feel somewhat dizzy, they still stood firm at their posts, ready to attack at any moment.
The legendary figures observing from the periphery fell silent.
They knew very well that, considering the normal effects of this power, if it were applied to their city, it would immediately cause significant chaos.
Especially since this is a battlefield, where soldiers in warfare are more susceptible to various influences.
But this war was different. This was a just war against an Evil God, a righteous battle to reclaim their homeland and save the world, with immense legitimacy.
Moreover, the comprehensive supply of logistical materials enabled the soldiers’ evil desires during the war to be significantly suppressed.
The soldiers of the United Army who came here, even if not members of the Night Watchers, were not to be underestimated in their willpower.
After all, the enemies they faced were Evil Gods, followers of Evil Gods, Demons, and those invading forces. Not one of these creatures wasn’t a master of depravity.
The fact that they persisted in such an environment and were not destroyed by negative elements speaks volumes about their resilience.
They were just ordinary soldiers, their inherent evil and darkness were not strong. Ultimately, it was limited and ordinary.
As for the army’s leaders, those with malicious intent, they were purged by the Night Watchers years ago in various internal cleanups.
This undoubtedly was a pure force.
The legendary figures, who had always hidden in the shadows, hadn’t focused their gaze on these ordinary soldiers for a long time.
At this moment, their shock stemmed from this very thing.
"Hypocritical and cowardly righteous ones, you were really well-prepared," the Evil Rat murmured, seeing that its power hadn’t achieved the expected effect and fixing its gaze on Kana in front.
"This is the essence of righteousness. Your fake, dark tricks are powerless against it. It’s best to rely on strength and speak plainly," Kana replied.
