Chapter 1597 - 968: This Is the True Follow-Up for Solar (Part 2)

Someone in the parade said, "Could it be that these strong men don’t know? Are they behind on news?"

They were afraid the man wouldn’t be beaten to death, and began talking at once, with someone even rebutting the warriors on the spot.

The smile on the man’s face was quite subtle; on one hand, he was happy that this group of parade-goers actually listened to his nonsense, and on the other, he thought that if they continued, his life might be in jeopardy.

Damn it, I really want to hide back in the crowd...

These words made the other warriors restless, and the Starfire Knights wanted to just let the warriors go and smack these senseless fellows to death.

When you feel stressed, take a look here; he’s a Starfire Knight trying to stop over a dozen muscle-bound elites from the Warrior Country.

At this moment, Lanle gave Temude a look, indicating that now was the best time.

Temude nodded and said to the crowd:

"You are the ones who are behind the news; we already have the latest news about Solar."

As soon as he said this, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

He deliberately raised his voice, sending it far, causing even those still engaged in the ongoing battle royale to stop and look this way.

Temude then held up an Image Stone high, using Lanle’s Projection Magic, projecting the imagery recorded within as a backdrop against the sky.

"Hey, isn’t that Solar?" "Why are there so many demons around him?" "I know, that big monster is the Chaos Breeding Ground!"

The scenes recorded inside the Image Stone were indeed fragmented bits of Solar battling the Chaos Breeding Ground!

Even though the footage was relatively blurry, no one could mistake that conspicuous figure, it was indeed Sun Warrior Solar.

"Based on many people’s experiments, during the challenge against the Chaos Breeding Ground, Solar’s outcome will appear; whether alive or dead, he cannot appear in this battle," someone mumbled a science explanation. "So this certainly is a new departure from usual!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the people around burst into discussions, with cries coming from all around.

"What’s going on?"

"Don’t just show the footage, explain it to us!"

"Awesome, this is what I wanted to see!"

And the man lying on the ground, dumbfounded, couldn’t speak after staring at the footage for a long while.

How could I be so unlucky!

Seeing the reactions of the crowd matching his expectations, Lanle nodded with satisfaction.

This Image Stone, they picked it up when cleaning the battlefield after defeating the Chaos Breeding Ground.

The warriors were puzzled why this Image Stone appeared; no one admitted leaving it behind, and eventually had to assume it was someone accidentally dropping and starting it from their pouch during the fast-paced battle, which inadvertently recorded some footage, capturing Solar in it.

Really clumsy!

Maybe only the previous Lanle would have suspected the origins of this Image Stone, but now Lanle, surrounded by these big brawny guys, somehow accepted it too.

"We killed the Sun Worm in advance, preventing Solar from facing a parasitic outcome, and then, when we were against the Chaos Breeding Ground and deep in crisis, his Summoning Symbol appeared!"

Temude held the Image Stone high, making sure everyone could see the imagery clearly.

More and more people gathered; even those knocked down by sticks crawled over.

"So, after disappearing, he didn’t give up but revitalized again, reaching out to us as always!"

"That’s what a Sun Warrior is!"

His voice carried far, echoing like a lion’s roar.

Originally, he didn’t want to be so high-profile, but having run into this situation, it was inevitable.

"Oh... oh oh oh!"

Someone snapped back first, eyes growing brighter with excitement, unsure what to say but letting out increasingly louder cheers.

"This is good, this is good."

"This is the stuff I want to see!"

"Fantastic, I’ll go fight the Chaos Breeding Ground!"

The next moment, the joyous cheers drowned out the scattered discussions, with the resonance at the scene enough to shatter glass.

"This is the punchline." The warriors showed proud smiles, for they were the first to discover this.

The reactions of everyone present gave them a mental reward equivalent to the material ones received after successfully defeating the Chaos Breeding Ground.

"Feels great," the warriors felt like they’d discovered a new continent, "No wonder there are so many Strategy Groups, we should form one too."

Temude looked down at the man still lying on the ground without a trace of color on his face, filled with grievances and anger, his body trembling from frustration.

He frowned; this man’s reaction was quite unusual.

Even those parade-goers mostly cheered with excitement upon seeing the footage, so why was this man reacting as if he’d lost a loved one?

Something’s off; there’s a plot!

"Catch him for me!"

At that moment, Hevi came rushing in with the Starfire Knights, startling the surrounding people, each of whom thought he was coming to arrest them.

Instead, they saw Hevi tie up the man on the ground, leaving only his head exposed.

"What are you doing!" the man yelled out loud, "Why arrest me!"

"What do you think?"

Hevi leaned in with a glare that made the man avert his gaze.

"This guy is a spy sent by the Holy Light Church!"

He announced to those around, casting a sweeping glance at the bewildered parade-goers and said, "You’ve all been used by him."

"You, what proof do you have!?" The man’s cold sweat poured, yet he mustered courage to counter.

"When you got hit and flew through the air, did you instinctively use Holy Light for defense?"

Hevi smirked at the exposed man, "Although it was only a momentary lapse, I saw it clearly; with such dense Holy Light, who else could you be but from the Holy Light Church?"

"Hiss—"

The man gasped miserably, his complexion paling visibly, attempting a final defense.

But Hevi stuffed a gag into his mouth and gestured for the Starfire Knights to carry him off.

"Didn’t expect there’d be a spy remaining here; I’ll definitely have a good talk with you."

"Mmm mmm!"

The man’s wide-open eyes filled with terror, no longer uttering anything in praise of the Holy Light God.

Thus, this brief commotion calmed down, unable to last even through the morning.

The damage caused by this commotion to Hepa Town... was nearly zero.

The Holy Light Church spy was thrown into jail for brutal interrogations, while the Starfire Church cleaned up the mess left by the chaos.

Meanwhile, Temude and his group rode the wave to promote their bravery, with assistance from Lanle, even the relatively uneducated crowd from the Warrior Country could vividly recount the process of defeating the Chaos Breeding Ground.

Solar’s resurgence was widely spread in this process, effectively ending the previous rumors.

The hidden menace within the Starfire Church vanished completely, once again showcasing vigorous vitality, with the future of the church visibly thriving.

Not long after, news of Solar spread completely; nearly everyone interested in the Sain Dungeon knew about this, and images of the event were apparent.

The Faith Spirit Power surging towards the Sain Dungeon began to rise dramatically at a certain moment.

[Sain...]

In the distant Skamelon Capital, within the tower of the Holy Light Church.

The yellowish shadow manifested once more.

With his emergence, the surrounding environment seemed to fall into stagnation, even the floating dust hung motionless in the air.

He looked toward the sky, sensing that changes were occurring.

These changes were undeniably things he did not want to see.

[It’s time...]
