Chapter 424: Winter Shall Come!

In the end, everyone in the command room accepted Zayne’s offer.

After all, they knew that with how powerful Zayne was, it would be unlikely for them to repay the favor since their capabilities were meager.

Unfortunately, Zayne wasn’t interested in a favor from them but merely placing them in debt via his Loan Shark’s Ledger.

As long as none of them became stronger than him, they would always be suppressed by his Loan Shark’s Ledger.

Moreover, Zayne had the means to know a person’s assets as long as they were indebted to him. So if ever, in future monthly apocalypse world updates, they were to acquire a priceless item that even he needed, he could rightfully snatch it as the collateral for their debt.

With how high the interest rate for his debt was, just a week later would be enough to make them owe him way too much that their life wouldn’t even be enough to pay him.

’The best part is, I’ve managed to let the entire humanity of Main World Terra owe me a favor, which means I’ve placed everyone in debt.’

’Regardless of whether they’ve accepted or not, it no longer mattered. The fact that the top powerhouses of this country, who planned to deal with the zombie marine creatures, had accepted my deal meant that the deal had gone through without requiring every human’s agreement.’

’After all, Henry and the others now represented humanity, since their actions of eliminating the greatest threat to humanity’s survival had pushed them to the forefront of the human race.’

’Of course, the fact that I’m the Human Progenitor and can make decisions for the survival of the human race is also one of the main reasons why I can make major decisions for the human race. Since what I plan to do is indeed beneficial to humanity, then it’s only natural that they owe me.’

Zayne had to admit, the Loan Shark’s Ledger was just too convenient. As long as he placed someone into a debt that they couldn’t repay, it was not much different from enslaving them.

The best part was that the debtor wouldn’t feel anything and wouldn’t think anything was wrong with them. But if they were to become his enemies, Zayne could easily force them to pay their debts, causing them to hand over their life to him and everything they had due to their assets being insufficient to pay their debts.

In some ways, it was even better than the Death Papyrus in killing someone. The only problem was that unlike the Death Papyrus, which could be used for as long as he knew the target’s name, the Loan Shark’s Ledger could only be used if the target had been put into debt.

After he had successfully placed everyone on Main World Terra in debt, Zayne decided to deal with those zombie marine creatures as soon as possible.

After all, to completely put them into debt, he had to do what he had promised and do his part of the deal. If he didn’t solve the problem regarding the zombie marine creatures causing a zombie tide, the debt would naturally be voided.

...

"Winter shall come!"

As Zayne’s words fell, they resounded throughout the entire world.

Combining the usage of Winter Principle and Apocalypse Principle, Zayne decided to deal with all the zombie marine creatures, and his method would be to freeze the entire ocean and let the world fall into Eternal Winter!

A few seconds later, everyone on Terra, even those who were in tropical climates and deserts, were astonished to see snow falling from the sky!

The snow drifted downward, blanketing the ground quickly. The surface temperature lowered to 10 degrees Celsius, regardless of how high the sun was and how hot the summer heat was.

The Spirit of Winter could cause the entire world to fall into Eternal Winter in her slumber, let alone Zayne, who was not only conscious but also way stronger than her.

Moreover, his Apocalypse Principle came into play, as the descent of the Eternal Winter Apocalypse was greatly accelerated.

Since he didn’t want anyone to needlessly die, Zayne concentrated all the lower temperatures of Eternal Winter into the oceans, causing the surface of the ocean to freeze up.

Not only that, Winter Spawns were created within the area covered by his Eternal Winter, which was the entire world.

The strongest Winter Spawns were way stronger than Zombie Overlords. Of course, due to the concentration of winter elements in the ocean, the strongest Winter Spawns were all generated above or within the ocean.

Under Zayne’s will, all the Winter Spawns attacked and killed the zombie marine creatures. He didn’t have to take action himself, as the Winter Spawns were qualified henchmen.

To ensure that everyone on Terra would incur a debt so large that they wouldn’t be able to pay it, Zayne decided to not only eliminate the zombie marine creatures that planned to invade this country, but also the other ones that surrounded other countries.

This would ensure that everyone on Terra would equally have a huge debt that they’d have to pay him. From Zayne’s estimation, the interest accumulated from such a large debt would ensure that even if they became a Heaven rank powerhouse, they wouldn’t be able to go against him!

Overlooking the entire world, Zayne stood in the sky as the cold blizzard of Eternal Winter brushed his hair.

’The zombie marine creatures causing a tide should be an apocalyptic event caused by the World Will. After all, there’s only a day or so left before the Zombie Apocalypse World Update Theme would end.’

’If that’s the case, then I can speculate whether the few days before the Monthly Apocalypse World Update Theme ends would also have such world-ending scenarios.’

’If not for my intervention, most people on Terra would die. Even if the zombies on the land were to unite with Evolvers, the vast amount of zombie marine creatures would inevitably cause most Evolvers below Emperor rank to die.’
