Chapter 644: Chapter 643: Who? 1

Meanwhile, back in the city...

Cisa had returned after disposing of the fifty-one men who had chased him out. The guards were stunned by the boy’s appearance, but never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that Cisa had actually killed them. After all, he wasn’t a warrior.

But one strange thing caught their attention: the clothes Cisa was wearing. His own clothes were torn and messed up from the battle, but the leader of the group had been clean. His suit was still neat, and Cisa had put it on.

Although the guards had questions, this wasn’t within their jurisdiction, so they ignored him and continued their work.

Cisa made his way home. It was already evening, and night would soon fall. His parents must be worried about him, including his little brother, so Cisa hurriedly continued on his way.

However, things seemed to have changed somewhat. People were gathering around, seemingly engrossed in particular discussions.

One person was easy to ignore, two were enough to catch his attention, but three was already a crowd.

Almost everyone in the city had gathered in groups of two or three, excitedly discussing something.

This naturally piqued Cisa’s interest, so he walked over to one of the groups, intending to find out what exactly had made everyone so preoccupied.

"So, he was an ex-soldier of our country?"

"Wow, I can’t believe he could do this. He killed more than two hundred ministers?"

"Actually, almost everyone in the capital was killed."

"Fucking hell..."

Hearing this, Cisa raised an eyebrow. Who or what were they talking about?

To find out, Cisa listened a little longer until he finally picked up a few pieces of information and began putting them together.

As it turned out, the so-called slave of the country, the traitor who had brought that strange virus into the country because of his greed and caused millions to fall sick, with thousands dying and even the survivors losing one or two limbs, seemed to have had enough.

Some said he was mentally unstable, while others claimed he had turned to the dark side.

Regardless of how people interpreted it, the truth remained that he had actually destroyed the capital, killing thousands more, with millions affected.

Worse still, those who had been killed seemed to have been turned into mindless puppets by him and followed him as he escaped from the capital.

Of course, everyone knew how powerful the capital was, not to mention the mansion where the country’s leader resided. It was a place that had stood for thousands of years. The number of experts there who could shake the entire world could be counted on more than ten fingers, yet Cza had managed to escape unharmed?

What kind of power did he possess?

Cisa left and continued walking home as his mind raced.

Of course, he had also heard tales of Cza, a soldier who had become greedy after discovering an unknown sword deep in the forest during a mission. He had touched it and brought back a virus so potent and unknown that millions had fallen ill within a month, leaving tens of thousands dead.

It was said that if one travelled to the capital and went to its outskirts, a large cemetery could be seen, containing the numerous bodies of the dead and serving as proof of the crimes he had committed.

To that, Cisa had no comment. But it seemed that, after almost eighteen years, Cza had finally had enough and had either fallen to the dark side or gained a new power that allowed him to break out, nearly destroying the capital in the process.

It was by no means a small event, as it could affect the entire country and even lead to a change in power. Yet...

Cisa wasn’t afraid. In fact, he seemed to be looking forward to it happening. He had gained a terrifying physique from the Avalon Shop, but it needed time to develop.

Time wasn’t something Cisa was particularly keen on wasting. If unrest broke out in the country and extreme situations occurred one after another, and he was recruited into the war, then his growth could accelerate exponentially. After all, only through pressure could he rapidly gain strength.

"Come on, Cza. They spat on you, ridiculed you and your family. Don’t forget that. Create more chaos..." Cisa muttered with a smile.

Of course, Cisa wasn’t the only one who thought this way. Many people shared similar thoughts, with the majority believing that this wouldn’t be the end but rather the beginning of a terrifying chain of events that would shake the country.

Others wanted it to happen and were already planning how to support and push things further so they could achieve their own goals.

Slowly, powerful forces had begun to move.

As for the man being discussed throughout the country...

At this moment, he was in a long stretch of barren land, a wilderness that only a few humans could venture into.

It served as an Old battlefield for both humans and monsters and contained numerous corpses.

Cza was here.

This was the perfect place for someone with his power, but more than that, he needed somewhere to hide.

He knew his current strength and understood the terror of the capital.

He had narrowly escaped. At first, the aura of the Rank 1 being had been released, but shortly afterward, it had stopped. He didn’t know why, but thanks to that and his large army of undead, he had managed to escape safely and was now free to move without hindrance.

And now, he had a dream to accomplish.

He felt that the power he wielded was still too weak. He needed to experiment with it and use it much more. He believed he would discover some useful abilities, and perhaps, at some point, he would be able to fully resurrect his wife and unborn child.

He felt it was possible. That much he knew. It was only after wielding this power that he had become certain of it.

Cza cast his gaze over the bones littering the ground before smiling.

Back at the Avalon Shop...

Void frowned slightly, his body trembling as he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

He couldn’t help but open his eyes and peer deep into space, past all the small worlds, large worlds, and even the entirety of the Plane.

He wanted to find out the reason for his unease, but just then, he felt his entire being jolt.

"Found you..."

A strange voice rang out.
