Chapter 1069 To Put An End To Everything

"It is too late now. This world has only a few more months left before it becomes fully attuned with nether. Perhaps you can request that fairy to open a teleportation portal to one of the other lower realms to move the people safely. Right now, that is your only hope."

Liam remained eerily still for a moment as if he was letting the words of the woman thoroughly sink into him. As the seconds silently ticked by, his head tilted down, staring at the ground.

Then, unexpectedly, a burst of maniacal laughter resounded loudly. Liam threw his head back and started laughing, his laughter a blend of bitterness and madness. It was a laugh that carried the weight of despair, laughter that revealed a mind teetering on the edge of sanity.

The draconic princess watched him, her eyes widening with a mixture of concern. "What… happened…"

Ba ha ha ha! Ba ha ha ha! Liam laughed again. 

"How are we back again at this same shit? Just a few weeks ago, this world was at the brink of ending, and once again, we are at this same damn thing."

No matter what he did, they were again and again teetering on the brink of utter destruction. Then what was his second chance for, and what was all of his struggle for? 

"What's the point?" he exclaimed, his voice laced with bitterness. "We've fought tooth and nail, risked everything, and for what? To end up right back where we started, facing the same damn thing all over again."

Wasn't invasions just supposed to be goddamn invasions? 

Liam clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. Of course, invasions were just meant to be invasions, but the person who wanted to invade their world this time was not to be easily dealt with.

It looked like she wanted this world, no matter what the cost might be. Every move that she made was a checkmate. How could they forever escape without getting caught in the woman's web?

Was this all because of him?  Did he not think things through? Did he lose it all because he wanted strength and power at all costs?

Perhaps if he did not stand out too much, then he could have avoided all of this, and the world wouldn't be facing its end every other week?

He had come so far, and yet there was nothing he could do right now. Liam found himself going in a downward spiral.

When he had first noticed the strange occurrence, he had thought perhaps a stronger creature was hiding amidst the wave or that the secret agenda was to disrupt his growth.

But once again, he had underestimated the damned woman. Liam felt as if he was going crazy. The enemy he was facing was someone at the top of the world, while he had only just now reached level 100. How was he supposed to stand up against them?

This one array formation they had casually set up was enough to annihilate their entire world. How was this possible?

The draconian princess sighed. She could clearly see how frustrated Liam was. 

"There is something at play here. I don't understand why that bitch is hell-bent on destroying this world. It is almost as if she had decided that this needs to be the outcome and she is ready to do anything to achieve it."

Liam sneered as he closed his eyes. In his last lifetime, this world wasn't theirs. Was it all fated to repeat all over again? Just a different method but the same damn bad ending?

No. He flashed his eyes open. This was not over just yet. Now was not the time to give up and accept fate. He still had the ability to try, and he was going to do it.

"I will head to the magic shop now and see what can be done." He looked at the dragon woman once before rushing in the direction of the shop.

After reaching the store, Liam talked to Tilia about the situation. The fairy seemed like she had already seen this coming. She was sympathetic to what was happening, but that did not change anything.

"I am sorry. My hands are tied." She sighed.

"Is that your final answer?" Liam asked, frustration clearly laced in his voice.

The fairy gulped. The fact was she knew what this world was going through at the moment. Earlier, she was a bit unsure, but now with what Liam told her, the doubts were all confirmed. Without her help, the people here were fated to die.

However, that was exactly why she couldn't help them. Her involvement at such a big level would not go unnoticed. The magic shop staff were absolutely forbidden to be involved in the matters of the newly anointed worlds. 

The punishment was too severe for such an offense. At the same time… The person who was asking her for this help was also not an ordinary person.

Tilia hesitantly kept refusing Liam a few times, but Liam did not give up. Exactly because he could sense the hesitation in her answer, he kept pushing her. In the end, the fairy gave in first and agreed.

"You will not regret this."

"Un." Tilia nodded. 

She then hurriedly left to make the required preparations. She had already danced over the line a few times for the sake of this human being. Now, she had also decided to cross it completely.

'I really hope I don't regret this.' She sighed and started her work. Before that she also emptied some of her accounts from the shop as she was pretty sure that she might be jobless and even end up in a prison tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Liam stood still with his eyes closed and his fists clenched. Though the fairy had agreed to help him. He couldn't relax just yet. 

Firstly, he did not know if she could really make it happen. And secondly, doing this was the same as running away in fear. He was not one to shy away from doing something to protect himself and his family, but if there was something he could do… just something… anything…

Liam's mind raced as he tried to think of everything that had happened so far. This array was just a byproduct, just like the vampires and just like the isons. The main problem right now was these invasions.

As long as the world was susceptible to invasions, no matter what he did, there was a new problem that was going to crop up tomorrow. The only way to stop all of this was that god damned world tree.

Yes, the answer to all of his problems was this single thing. With the world tree, all the invasions would cease, and with the world tree, even this array could be stopped!

But the problem was no one knew where the goddamn seed fragments were. 

Liam banged the table next to him with his fist. While the vampire had easily found the first fragment, he wasn't able to find even just one more with all these days of searching and scouring through the world.

Why? Why? Why? What the hell was he missing?

He had even followed the oracle's vague shit prediction and wasted his time helping others. However, nothing worked. 

Where was he supposed to go and search for those small seed fragments now? They could literally be anywhere. They could be buried in any corner of this world. How was he supposed to find them?

Liam closed his eyes as his mind spun rapidly. He tried to think of any place where such an important thing could be hidden.

As various scenarios and locations flashed past him, suddenly, a small thought came to his mind. That day when he had combined the lucky coins and returned to the magic store, there were three people waiting there for him to meet with him.

His luck attribute had just skyrocketed, and even the monk had wished him terrible luck. Everything lined up. Liam assumed that this was all linked to Madan and Abraki, two formidable leaders joining the guild but considering the situation they were in now, this did not make sense.

Them joining or not joining did not mean anything in the grand scheme of things if the world was going to end soon!

So perhaps he had overlooked something? Perhaps everything was about that third person who wanted to meet with him?
