Chapter 116 - Tiger Of The East (2/2)

”You look like a baby. What's up with that?”

”Yeah, there is a story for that, anyway, glad to finally get to meet you bro.”

”Likewise bro.”

The duo grinned like little boys and hugged each other. Everyone watching this was shocked. Ezra knew Solitary? And they were close? What ridiculousness is this?

There were plenty of arguments as to who was the most powerful user on earth, but there was no doubt as to who was the most feared. And it was Ezra.

The reason for this was pretty simple. There is no one who had killed as many humans as the man. Yes, humans, not demon beasts.

The man was a verified nutcase. Before the system came, he was in a mental asylum, recovering from a serious case mood swings. Rumor had it that he was bipolar. His mood changed at the drop of a hat.

Ezra was Chinese according to birth, and it was also thanks to him that China was untouched by the rest of the world. China had the Earth's greatest population before the system arrived, with over 1.5 billion citizens. And it had one of the longest histories in terms of cultivation, hence it stands to reason that China should have the largest amount of powerful users. But that was not the case. In fact, China's current population was less than 100 million, and it was largely due to the man standing in front of Will.

A large civil war, the likes of which the world had never seen, happened a year and a half ago in china. There were two sides in the war. One side was a coalition of the most powerful cultivator families in china, while the other side consisted of Ezra alone…and Ezra completely destroyed his enemy. One man against millions of humans, and he triumphed without breaking a sweat.

The story shook the world. Had Genesis not come in and defeated Ezra, its possible that even more people could have died. After defeating him, Genesis managed to have Ezra join his sect, and peace once again returned to China, but the damage had already been done.

Rumours state that blood ran like rivers and millions of innocent lives had been lost due to the conflict. But no one outside the ones who took part truly understood what happened. One thing was for sure. Ezra was a monster in human form. Some experts even stipulated that had Ezra not been tired from his previous battles, Genesis might not have been able to subdue him. Either way, it did not matter, because the bridge has already been crossed.

Ezra, and what remained of china and its elite cultivator families joined the Samsara Sect, while Ezra became one of its Four Cardinal Protectors, with the title, Tiger of the East.

Imagine if multiple people gained abilities all over the world, many countries would collapse within months. But thanks to the presence of the cultivator families who quickly took control, atrocities like the one in china did not happen elsewhere in the world, nevertheless, worldwide, during the first year of the system's existence, the world lost at least a billion lives, not to mention the civil war that would happen in china later.

Now, a man, who was the very personification of death was shaking Will's hand like they were long lost brothers. Just what was happening?
