Chapter 55: The End of the Arc Light Organization

The rift closed.

Zhong Honglian lifted the roadblock and let Jiang He go back to rest first, then her body turned into blazing flames as she hurriedly flew away.

Jiang He understood why she was in such a rush.

Central State City had already been captured by the Abyss. Even if the Abyss Rift was eliminated, it was nothing more than treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

At this moment, Central State City was like a ticking time bomb, one that could explode at any time, leaving people restless and uneasy.

Jiang He was the same. After knowing this matter, he too felt anxious and unsettled.

He did not return to the Fire Bureau but instead went straight back to Lidu Residential Area, arriving at Uncle Cui’s Cold Noodle Shop at the entrance.

He walked quickly through the shop door, saw Uncle Cui and Auntie Cui, but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.

What should he say?

Tell Uncle Cui and his wife to leave Central State City as soon as possible?

Other cities might not necessarily be safe either.

Transcendent Rampages, Exotic Beast Rampages, Abyss of Demons… all these factors stacked together had nearly turned Blue Star into a cesspit.

Even if one left Central State City, unless one fled into outer space, it would be impossible to escape all of this.

It was better to simply remain in Central State City.

Although there was this ticking time bomb of the Abyss of Demons, according to Old Jiang’s observation, it was still far from detonating, and there would not be any problems in the short term.

As for the long term, since the Council already knew, they would definitely not sit idly by and would surely think of a way to resolve the problem.

Even if it could not be resolved, they would definitely evacuate the citizens in advance to avoid excessive casualties.

Most importantly, Jiang He himself was here.

Although he would not stay in Uncle Cui’s shop all the time, Old Jiang’s perception range was extremely vast. Once he detected a problem, he could rush to help immediately, which would actually make things even safer…

“Cold noodles are here.”

Just as Jiang He was tangled in thought, a large bowl of cold noodles was placed in front of him.

He sighed and broke apart a pair of chopsticks.

Since things had come to this, he might as well eat first.

…

With a bowl of cold noodles in his stomach, Jiang He’s anxiety lessened quite a bit.

When the cart reached the mountain, there would be a road. His most important task at the moment was still to continue leveling up!

He was currently E-rank. Even if he could not skyrocket to S-rank, as long as he could advance to D-rank or C-rank, the strength that Old Jiang and the other top Heroic Spirits could exert would naturally rise accordingly.

As long as Old Jiang and the others possessed top A-rank combat strength, there would be no need to worry too much.

And if he could obtain S-rank strength… then it would be others’ turn to worry.

Jiang He’s current total energy level was 247 points.

Among them, 100 points came from the World Destroyer’s specialties and skills, and 28 points came from the Word Keeper’s profession and skills.

Overall, if Jiang He wanted to raise his energy level, the fastest way would be to improve the World Destroyer’s profession level.

But actually, this was a trap.

Although many species on Blue Star were endangered, most of them were protected, and it was uncertain whether there were any remnants in the wild.

To personally and completely wipe out enough dozens of species was extremely difficult for Jiang He at his current stage.

“The World Destroyer is a late-stage profession. Only when one’s strength rises will it be able to fully exert its effect.”

“For example, the specialty 【Genocide】 requires personally wiping out an intelligent species…”

“Exotic beasts mostly possessed intelligence, yet they had many classifications. Should they count as one species or many? Moreover, the Abyssal Demons absolutely counted as intelligent species as well!”

Jiang He certainly would not destroy the world, but exterminating monsters—he had no psychological burden about that at all.

He just lacked a bit of strength for now.

Setting aside the World Destroyer profession level, the fastest way to increase his energy level was to improve his basic attributes—

At present, Jiang He’s spiritual attribute had barely crossed the threshold of E-rank, while his physical strength and energy strength had not even reached the E-rank threshold.

In this situation, no matter how many more skills he learned, the efficiency of energy level growth would not be high.

Only when skill strength and basic attributes advanced together could he quickly raise his 【Total Energy Level】.

Jiang He was not lacking in methods to enhance his spirit.

But as for physical strength and energy strength…

“Old Jiang, are you physical, spiritual, or energy?”

Old Jiang: “Physical system.”

Good, physical strength was covered!

Jiang He’s heart leapt with joy. He prepared to pack some cold noodles for Old Jiang to bring home, and at the same time, to ask about the X-rank Path.

As he got up, Uncle Cui came over with a phone in hand.

“Xiao He, come and look at this…”

“What is it?” Jiang He curiously accepted the phone, and a headline entered his sight.

【The Council Strikes—The Arc Light Organization Is Uprooted!】

The Arc Light Organization was gone?!

Jiang He quickly scrolled through it.

This was the Council’s official announcement, directly publishing the identities of all the Arc Light members who had attacked Central State City, including many A-rank Transcendents, not a few of whom were major figures in various cities.

The announcement stated that these Transcendents, for their own selfish desires, had colluded together to launch the 【Arc Light Attack】 last week, and last night created the 【Doomsday Premonition】, causing extremely vile consequences. Therefore, they were all sentenced to death, executed personally by the current Speaker, 【Absolute Judgment】.

Now that the situation had calmed down, citizens were told not to panic…

So the Doomsday Premonition was the Arc Light Organization’s doing? Then what about me, the World Destroyer?

Clearly, Jiang He’s Doomsday Declaration last night had been far too influential.

The “Arc Light Organization” was thrown out early by the Council as a scapegoat, used to calm the people and restore credibility.

Just like now—

“Never thought that all these things were done by them…” Uncle Cui sighed. “They were all top A-rank Transcendents. In the future, they might even have become great figures of the Council, yet they went and committed such insane acts!”

“Xiao He, see? I told you, the Council is very powerful. You don’t need to worry so much…”

Jiang He nodded in agreement.

The Arc Light Organization being sacrificed early meant that the future line White Crane had experienced had already changed.

The Arc Light Attack that was supposed to happen on June 13th would no longer exist.

He could finally feel a little more at ease.

…

Tianya City, Transcendent Council.

A Sword of Judgment descended from the sky, instantly evaporating the Arc Light Organization members.

Outside the Tribunal, onlookers clapped and cheered, offering their voices to the Speaker who symbolized justice.

This was another victory for the Transcendent Council!

At the same time, in a place unknown to anyone.

Within a pitch-black space, ten Transcendents had their restraints undone, their shackles removed.

They regained their sight and looked forward.

The cloaked man stood with his back to them, as always.

“You are already ‘dead.’”

“From this day forth, you can no longer appear in the outside world under your past identities.”

Abandoned pieces, then.

The Transcendents’ expressions varied, until one of them suddenly spoke.

“What about Zhong Honglian?”

The man said, “She is clean.”

“Clean?” Laughter rang out in the darkness.

“Then what about us? Are we going to be imprisoned here from now on?”

“Better to have been judged—at least that would be quick and decisive.”

“No.” The man shook his head.

From the darkness beside him, a “Blank” figure walked out.

The “Blank” appeared humanoid, but nothing could be seen. One could not even leave a trace of him in one’s consciousness, as if he did not exist at all.

“Greetings. You may call me 【Wolf King】.”

“Welcome to my Wolf Pack.”
