Chapter 276. The Great Purge.

Across Cities...

States...

Empires...

And the four continents of Endra, several screens glitched.

Everyone looked at the screens. Some looked at their phones. Others looked at computers. Those who were standing in the streets looked at the billboards.

"Look, it’s the Tyrant Fate Record!"

"What sort of ridiculous feat is being recorded this time?"

"Tsk. Idiot, isn’t it obvious? After what Aiden Vhorn had pulled off in playing the most influential role in bringing the Paranormal Liberation Order down, it was only a matter of time before such a feat was recorded on the Tyrant Fate Record!"

"That’s true. This time, Aiden Vhorn’s contribution has dwarfed that of the powerhouses of the International Union. It’s only natural that he becomes number 1 on the Tyrant Fate Rankings!"

"That’s true. The AI of the Tyrant Fate Record and the Tyrant Fate Rankings are very fair. This time, even the combined feats of the Excellencies at the top of the Tyrant Fate Rankings can’t dwarf what the Devil of Endra, Aiden Vhorn, has pulled off!"

Several watched their screens as Aiden Vhorn’s instrumental role in bringing the Paranormal Liberation Order down was recorded.

[August 19, year 2332, has been officially designated as the day of the Great Purge. This will be a holiday celebrated to commemorate the end of the Paranormal Liberation Order. Aiden Vhorn, popularly known as the Ghost Strategist, the Crimson Reaper, The Lodgekeeper, and the Devil of Endra, discovered instrumental information concerning the Paranormal Liberation Order, and allied with the International Union strategically to put an end to the Paranormal Liberation Order, a zealot, dwarfed idealists who wanted to put an end to Endra, believing that was their way of ending suffering on the planet.]

Everyone on Endra looked at the screens. This was a historical moment. Since the Tyrant Fate Record had named the event and even designated it as a holiday, it would be celebrated for years to come.

Whenever the Great Purge was mentioned in the future, Aiden Vhorn, the Devil of Endra, would be attributed to this holiday. Future generations to come will remember the day of the Great Purge as a historical moment that would be studied in books and history classes.

Seriously, Aiden Vhorn was really terrifying.

First, the Ghost Machination, recorded on the Tyrant Fate Record, and now this?

Everyone on the Tyrant Fate Rankings had recorded feats on the Tyrant Fate Records. But compared to what Aiden Vhorn had pulled off, especially considering that he was now an Advanced Rank 3 warrior and he wasn’t even a Rank 4 warrior yet, it was something awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Look, it’s the Tyrant Fate Rankings!"

Comment sessions and various places across Endra were in an uproar.

"The rankings are changing!"

"Yeah. Since some of the Rank 4 and Rank 3 warriors on the rankings were members of the Paranormal Liberation Order and have been killed, it’s only natural that the rankings shift."

"Indeed."

Under several gazes, several names pushed out of their current places to higher places. The names of Vandaport, Ashbourne Cane, and many Rank 4 warriors moved to higher ranks.

The Legendary Rank 4 warriors who were ranked lower previously also went up.

Also, some Rank 3 warriors on the rankings went up.

People looked at the rankings in awe. When would they get on it too?

However, several eyes suddenly noticed that the name on the 4999 rank had disappeared.

It blinked and appeared on number 1.

[Aiden Vhorn, AKA, Crimson Reaper, The Lodgekeeper, The Ghost Strategist, The Devil of Endra — No. 1.

Rank: Advanced Rank 3 warrior.

Traits: Clinical efficiency, tactical and pragmatic ruthlessness. Extreme and exceptional combat abilities. Very adaptable in battle.

Extreme cultivation speed. Begun cultivation at 19. Now an Advanced Rank 3 warrior at the age of 21.

Notable achievements: Closure of several special gates.

Completion of several high and hell difficult missions as an Eldorath Empire operative alone.

The Massacre of Burning Sands.

Outmaneuvering the Cyrenthia Empire military operatives in Zone Zero.

Brought the Kahra Desert to his knees through tactical acumen and terrifying combat power.

Set up several traps in a ruined city to slaughter...

Baiting...]

The list of Aiden’s achievements went on and on.

[The Ghost Machination...

The Great Purge...]

Some of his feats that were not even previously known to the public were even revealed, shocking everyone.

People were already aware of most of the things Aiden had done. But when they looked at the Tyrant Fate Rankings list everything together, they realised how terrifying this was.

"Even one of these accomplishments could make one a feared name across the world!"

"I am a genius from the Bluefire Secret Sect, and I don’t dare say that anyone is as terrifying as this person!"

"Indeed. His rise is so fast that we didn’t even afford the pleasure of trying to even challenge him."

"When I heard about him during an exchange event in the Eldorath Empire two years ago, I made a vow to myself to try and challenge him and use him as a stepping stone in the future. After I returned to the Naba Empire in the Eastern Continent, I trained and trained, expecting to meet him one day and challenge him. Now that I think about my thoughts then, I realize how laughable I have been."

Several geniuses across Endra sighed as they looked at the Tyrant Fate Ranking.

They lamented. To be born in the same Era as Aiden Vhorn was really their misfortune. No matter how terrifying and monstrous they were, Aiden Vhorn had outshone all of them.

Even Excellency Armstrong Lee was ranked by the Tyrant Fate Record as second! A Legendary Rank 4 warrior was ranked second.

And an Advanced Rank 3 warrior was ranked first.

For as long as the history of Endra could be remembered, something like this had never happened before.

What made the Tyrant Fate Rankings so credible was that fact that it ranked people based on AI computations, rather than a few people sitting together to try and rank someone above another based on what they thought or felt. Because of this, the rankings could never be unfair.

Of course, even putting the Tyrant Fate Rankings aside, Aiden Vhorn had earned himself the number 1 spot, not because he was the strongest person on the planet, but because he was the most terrifying person on the planet.

Many young people clenched their fists as passion burned within them. Aiden Vhorn was their motivation now. He came from a fairly middle-class background. He was brought up by abusive parents who treated him like a tool they could discard at any time. He didn’t awaken as a warrior and even crossed the biological awakening window, until he was suddenly fortunate to awaken rarely at age 19.

After that, he had risen on his own to his current level.

Aiden Vhorn’s rise had taught the residents of Endra a lesson. One didn’t need to be the strongest person to be the most terrifying person.

Or perhaps, this could only be true for someone like him. After all, only Aiden Vhorn could stand shoulder to shoulder with Legendary Rank 4 warriors, not because he was at the same level of strength as them, but because he was so unpredictable and scheming that one would never know when they were a chess piece he was moving on a board.

Not even Legendary Rank 4 warriors could get their enemies to kill themselves out of fear of what they could do to their enemies.

He really deserved the name The Ghost Strategist, The Crimson Reaper, and the Devil of Endra.

From now on, Aiden Vhorn’s name would be cemented in the history books of Endra forever.
