Chapter 3111: Dawning Realizations
Emperor Rael had been having a bad day.
The resistance of the Panamic Alliance had been crumbling under the mounting pressure from the true world. The countless forces that had begun converging upon the Panama Continent had truly been overwhelming for human civilization. Despite having collectivized all Martial Sages and an increasing share of the Martial Master population, they had been simply unable to halt the invasions of the true world.
He had tried everything he could think of, from rationing his Martial Sages to using Silas Clan's prophecy to concentrate them all at once in certain places, to relying on divide and conquer. He had tried leveraging newfound alliances and pushing, squeezing everything he had.
And yet, it proved to be insufficient.
A heavy fact that could not be escaped was the fact that human civilization was simply not strong enough to deal with the full pressure of the true world. Perhaps if not for the fact that the entirety of the true world's greed for the exotic treasures of the continent, they might have been able to forge enough of a deterrence against the Panama Continent.
However, the fact of the matter was that the true world was simply far too strong and far too driven to get their hands on the treasures of the Panamic Continent.
He had been so drowned in his troubles as the supreme commander of the Panamic Alliance that he actually forgot.
He actually forgot about Rui's impending return.
That was why his stressed eyes flew wide open when he received the message reporting Rui's awakening.
"Rui is awake…?" The Emperor's tone was moved.
Stunned.
And yet, what followed only stunned him even more.
