Chapter 760 Wanting to Run (1/2)

When he received Zero-Three's alert, Joshua was preparing for the first graduation ceremony of Winter Fort Academy with Ying and Ling.

To be precise, Ying and Ling were planning and preparing, while a certain warrior simply sat in the chair of the Dean's office and watched them labor, darting here and there. It was the first time Joshua felt like he was a Count, a noble Liege—although he was not sure if that counted as child labor exploitation, and if Israel would fire a flame arrow down from the skies at him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Whatever the case may be, it was a happy thing.

Time flew since Starfall 832 to present day. Both youths had now grown into adults who could shoulder responsibilities and possess ability around Gold. When he himself was Gold, Joshua had risen with leaps and bounds up to Legendary intermediate, becoming an old man in his thirties going to his forties.

In truth, Legendary intermediate was quite simply a self-verification that had been freely made. Legendary champions who sensed that they were reaching their limits and could hardly improve on the path they had taken would all call themselves Legendary-advance, whereas those who believed that there was still untapped talent even if their body and spirit had been honed to the pinnacle were Legendary-intermediate. Joshua certainly believed that he still had a long way to go, which was why even if he was supremely formidable, he was still developing as a champion.

While the abilities of Winter Fort Academy students did not improve rapidly like their dean, it remained intimidating. Following six to seven years of nurturing, a batch of ordinary youths that had no foundation at first were now Gold-tier, a progress that did not lose out to the Glorious Era as recorded in the Archives. Although the Great Mana Tide had a part to play, it proved Nostradamus and the instructors' effort in that respect.

The First Graduation Ceremony was planned for the twenty-third of June. Joshua had been listening to a few of the instructors' discussion regarding the actual course of the event, but quickly materialized a clone in the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds and teleported to the Archives when he received Zero-Three's alert.

”Evil God of Wither, and nine missing Legends?”

Joshua held Zero-Three with one hand and tried to lift her to sit on his shoulder but was rejected, and so the warrior could only hold the Artificial Intelligence girl like a doll while stroking his chin in puzzlement. ”The Steel Strength which that Evil God suddenly burst out with is extremely weird, but when you consider that the previous forms of each Evil God nurtured a civilized world, that would make things explainable. Whether the Evil God's incarnation was incomplete or because its form was beaten to the point of collapsing, the conversion of Chaos power is nothing too unusual.”

The problem lies with why the Glorious Era, or the Sage and the gods would try to hide the fate of the Evil God 'Wither', carefully concealing information about it and nine Legends from history?

Joshua pondered for a moment, but could not find an answer.

If that Evil God was really the key to converting Chaos and Order and the point of the Sage's inspiration, it did not have to be hidden. The war had been so cruel then that everyone battled on against the enemy in despair and agony—if they were to learn that Chaos was not inextinguishable but could even be restored as ordinary Steel Strength, how much courage would that information have granted the entire civilization?

The pessimists would believe that it was seeking for one's own death, while the optimists would think that it was the finest solution to triumph against an enemy. Joshua was convinced that, in circumstances where the pessimists would betray them, most left would be optimists.

”This is very important news. We could use that information left behind to find the trail and coordinates in which the nine Legends pursued that Evil God and find the location of their disappearance, and perhaps find that Evil God's remains… Zero-Three, it's really thanks to your Seventh-Class clearance!”

Pausing his consideration of the Evil God, Joshua praised Zero-Three happily. ”Us Sixth-Class clearance would never have found that data, which is the only flaw of the Archives—insufficient clearance, and data would not be attained even with violent means.”
