Chapter 130: The World Is Stirring! Twilight of the Apocalyptic World!
“A world-wide announcement again! There was actually someone who encountered the G.o.ds! Could it be City Master Link?”
“Those are G.o.ds! Every one of them possesses inconceivable strength! Has City Master Link defeated a G.o.d?”
“Defeated a G.o.d? How can that be!”
“It can’t be that coincidental! Has the G.o.d of Evil appeared in other places other than here?”
...
A storm had been set off in the No Retreat Army soldiers’ hearts. The lakes that were their hearts were turned upside down!
Everyone looked full of surprise and could not help exclaiming out loud!
Qiao Ruowei and Luo Xingyao—who were aware that Link was the [Death Judge]—had their red lips slightly parted, feeling shocked in their hearts.
Surprise was written all over the two pretty faces, revealing the loveliness and innocence they lacked during their usual calm and efficient states.
“Lord encountered the G.o.d of Evil?”
“Lord could actually face the G.o.d of Evil and return safely?”
“Could it be that the Lord is already capable of contending with the G.o.d of Evil?!”
Question after question emerged in both their hearts. But after going through the apocalyptic world’s tests, the two of them weren’t sweet and foolish girls any longer. They did not directly voice their questions, afraid of exposing Link’s secret.
After all, not many were aware of Link’s ident.i.ty as [Death Judge] at the current moment.
At the tip of their tongues, the many questions only became: “Lord, are you alright?”
Link shook his head coolly, indicating that he was fine. He swept a glance at the surprised No Retreat Army’s soldiers and did not give an explanation. He only wore a quiet smile.
“The altar and the statue—which were the source of the G.o.d of Evil’s aura—have both been destroyed.”
Once his words fell, Link took the lead in heading outside.
Presently, Zhao Yongkang happened to come hurrying with another No Retreat Army team.
Zhao Yongkang’s eyes were wide—like a bull’s eyes—as he examined Link up and down. “City Master Link, the [Death Judge] mentioned in the world-wide announcement can’t be you, can it?”
“Even after facing the G.o.d of Evil, you actually don’t even have the slightest injury on you! If City Master Link is that [Death Judge], he would truly be an extraordinary person. He has already gone on the world-wide announcements twice!”
Link shot a glance at Zhao Yongkang and did not respond to Zhao Yongkang’s guess. He only said peacefully, “The matter has been resolved. If there are no other problems, I will be bringing my people back. Also, Chief Zhao, do properly consider what I said previously.”
Link patted Zhao Yongkang’s shoulders, turned, and left, only leaving a slender back view to the surprised crowd behind.
Qiao Ruowei, Luo Xingyao, and Yuna followed closely behind.
When Link and the others’ figures had disappeared from their sights, the group of No Retreat Army warriors still stood dazedly in the same spot.
“City Master Link is so cold and so experienced!”
“Whether he is that [Death Judge] or not, I am in love! In love!” A female warrior from the No Retreat Army revealed an infatuated smile.
A young man next to Zhao Yongkang also could not help speaking up. “Chief Zhao, do you think City Master Link is that [Death Judge] or not?”
Zhao Yongkang squinted his eyes, and an obscure glow glimmered in his tiger eyes. “This isn’t something you should ask. n.o.body can definitively speak about this matter; get the brothers to stop making wild guesses. Also, gather everyone as soon as possible. We are going to have a meeting.”
“Brother Zhao, do we need everyone to be present? What are we holding a meeting for exactly?” asked someone.
Zhao Yongkang did not hesitate. He said in a low voice, “Discussing the No Retreat Army’s future path and whether we should join Unfallen City or not.”
Upon hearing him, all of the No Retreat Army soldiers’ eyes lit up. They had seen Link’s capabilities and grace. He had long earned the recognition and respect of many warriors.
...
At the same time, the entire world had also been ignited by that world announcement. The entire world was totally in a frenzy!
Faced the G.o.ds and returned safely—this was not something the average powerhouse could achieve!
This world announcement was even more jaw-dropping than the previous world announcement of Link killing a Stage Five boss. It was unbelievable!
Countless people marveled at this, their inner hearts full of shock!
“[Death Judge] has actually gone on the world announcements again! This is already the second time, isn’t it!?”
“Faced the G.o.ds; does he already possess the ability to counter G.o.ds?!”
“d.a.m.n it! What a pity that the current Internet is paralyzed; otherwise, I would definitely conduct a cyber manhunt of that powerhouse. This is an elephant’s leg[1]!”
“Such a powerhouse! If only he can join our gang!”
“What!? The [Death Judge] has directly faced the G.o.ds this time?”
“Good lad! Even the Undead creatures are already nothing to him, is it? He has already started looking for G.o.ds to practice his moves?”
“[Death Judge]... Is he a monster?!”
...
The whole world was in a sea of clamors and chaos.
Most importantly, this had come after the monster siege happened.
The Undead army had breached countless human cities and survivor camps not long ago. Corpses were everywhere, and there was so much blood that pestles could float!
Many powerhouses died. Their corpses were turned into Undead, while the people who survived by luck fled into the wilderness with their blood and tears dripping.
After all, cities that could hold the fort like Unfallen City were in the minority.
In fact, from the tenth day of the apocalyptic world onwards, the shrieks of humankind had never ceased.
So much so that some cities were still in arduous battles!
This world announcement’s appearance finally allowed many people—who were deep in despair—to see that bit of hope. It was like the light of dawn—very precious.
On the battlefields where Undead snarled and corpses littered all over.
A human powerhouse was grabbed by an Abomination’s hand. The immense pressure crushed his chest, almost suffocating him. Broken organs continuously surged out from the corner of his mouth. However, he continued to roar hysterically.
“d.a.m.n monsters, just you wait! There is a powerhouse among us humans. He can already contend with the G.o.ds! There will be a day where he will slaughter all of you! Haha! My human race produces outstanding people in every generation. We will avenge these mountains of corpses and seas of blood!”
As his words fell, this middle-aged powerhouse actually spurred his inner strength and self-destructed then and there!
A roar exploded, and that Abomination’s ma.s.sive body was ripped apart by the terrifying impact!
The countenance of the Evil General that commanded this portion of the Undead army became even colder. He only slowly spat out three words through his teeth: “Is that so?”
...
In the wilderness, a few humans gathered together, but they didn’t dare to light up a fire. They were afraid of exposing their location and could only huddle together for warmth.
A youth—whose face was still quite young—clenched his fists with a deathly grip and wiped away the tears on his face.
His parents and good friends had all been sacrificed in the siege, only he lived.
As he stared at the people around him—who all wore looks of fear—the youth clenched his teeth, swearing that he definitely had to become a person as powerful as that [Death Judge] and wipe out all Undead!
During this siege conducted by the Undead army, there were still many, many other survivors like him...
Countless people treated the [Death Judge] as their idol or hope. They even referred to him as the twilight of the apocalyptic world.
And at this moment.
The initiator of everything, Link, had already returned to Unfallen City.
Following the City Master’s return, streaks of light lit up in the skies above Unfallen City!
This was the light of order!
