Re: Evolution Online

Liam had so many questions and no answers. But he was sure of one thing. He doubted that this mysterious enemy was even from earth.

The person was so tremendously strong, like the divine temple priestess which could only mean that he was from somewhere else, perhaps some other world?

Did that world also have a world seed? How many worlds like this existed? Just how big of a treasure was this?

Then perhaps the intention of that person was to find this treasure right from the beginning. He had only cared about the treasure and nothing else.

No wonder he wasn't interested in Liam or Luna or the Crimson Abyss guild. Maybe he did not even know Liam existed.

None of the vampires were chasing after them until Liam touched that seed.

Liam sighed as he was finally starting to understand everything.

However, the thing was… the mysterious vampire opponent might not have known about him before, but he definitely knew about him now, including the fact that he possessed this 'world seed' currently.

If he was not in it before… he was definitely in it now.

Sure, the vampires were not chasing him before, but what about now? He had grabbed the seed, after all. Did that mean more of them were going to come after him from here onward? Did he just make another powerful enemy?

Liam shook his head helplessly. It did not matter. If they hadn't clashed now, then they would have clashed later if the 'world seed' was really such an important treasure.

The only thing was that he currently had no idea how to use the damned seed.

If he could at least somehow become stronger from actually taking advantage of this said 'world seed', then everything would be worth it. But no. He absolutely had no idea what to do with this seed or even where to start.

Just from the current situation, he was simply getting dinged in all directions without actually reaping any benefits. What the heck?!

Liam gave a rueful smile as he clutched his head with his hands. A few seconds later, something struck him. "Hmmm… maybe I don't have to worry about another attack from these vampires any time soon, or at least from that person who conjured the blood effigy."

The more he thought about it, the more this seemed logical. From the fight, it was clear that the opponent was extremely powerful, but at the same time, he had a lot of limitations.

For instance, he couldn't simply appear before Liam, instantly kill him and take the 'world seed' right off of his hands. Did he not want to come, or could he simply not do it?

Maybe there were some rules and restrictions cockblocking him. If so, what were these rules and regulations? Could he use them to his advantage somehow? Who could he even ask about these things?

A couple of faces quickly came to his mind, both fairies and both store managers. But Liam shook his head. He knew that they probably would not be of any use.

Tilia might straight up reject him, while the other one, Aron, was a cunning bastard who would probably give him wrong information and send him somewhere dangerous just so that he did not have to fulfill their little deal.

While Liam's tired mind was circling these questions and mulling over what his next step should be, suddenly, drops of rain started falling from the sky.

Hmmm? Liam slowly looked up as he was still very tired. The clouds up above in the sky started to turn into a weird shade of black and purple.

The angry clouds also started spitting out lightning bolts left and right. This quickly turned even worse.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE

Massive lightning bolts, earth-shattering thunders, and not to mention the storm that was kicking up out of nowhere…

Liam froze. In a second, his expression changed as he watched everything unravel around him. This scenario was something that was far too familiar for him.

These were the signals that something terribly bad was going to happen!

These were the exact signs that everyone in the post-apocalyptic world dreaded!

This was the beginning of the next wave of the apocalypse!

"No! Impossible!" Liam shook his head. There was still time before the next wave of the apocalypse started. How could it happen so soon?

He refused to believe what he was seeing. This absolutely cannot be happening. This had to be a false alarm.

He waited and watched the roiling skies, wondering if they were ever going to calm the fuck back down, but everything around him was only getting worse and worse.

It looked like there was no going back now.

"Damn it!" Liam cursed out loud. He had a grim expression on his face as he hurriedly dismissed the soul minions and got on Luna's back.

"This is bad." He gritted his teeth in anger.

"Master? What is happening?" Luna asked in worry.

"Everything is changing," Liam answered.

It was not the second wave of the apocalypse that he was worried about. Rather he was worried about the future.

If the second wave could be pushed forward in this fashion, then what about the third wave and the fourth wave?

Was everything going to occur ahead of the timeline?

That would only give him even lesser time to prepare. In his last life, they had a lot more time, but now everything was changing. What was happening?

It was one thing for the tutorial to be fucked up and shut down sooner. It was in the hands of a single person or a group of people, but how could the events in the real world change like this?

As he watched the weather go to shit, something suddenly struck him. Could this be because of the vampires or, rather, the guy behind them?

Someone powerful had shown up in their world out of nowhere, someone who clearly did not belong here, and the minute they seemed to disappear, the next wave of the apocalypse started.

The two events had occurred way too close to be merely a coincidence! No, it could not be a coincidence!
