Chapter 375: An ant
"Ethan, White Bear Tsar just became an Orange Legendary Hero too—same rank as you," Emily said, eyeing him curiously. "Aren’t you even a little worried he might catch up to you?"
"Him?" Ethan scoffed, curling his lip. "Even if you gave him another hundred thousand years, he still wouldn’t come close."
"Wow, that confident?" Emily raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.
"Obviously," Ethan rolled his eyes. "Did you forget I’ve got Seraphina, Cicero...? To them, a Hero Unit that started out as a mere Tier 9 hidden class? That’s nothing."
"Nothing?"
"An ant."
"An ant they could squash with a single finger," Ethan said, shaking his head with a smirk. "Forget them—even I’m an SSS-rank Orange Legendary Hero now. Among Orange Legendaries, at the same level, I’ve got almost no real competition. But whatever, let’s not get into that. You’ll see for yourself soon enough. Now, tell me more about the three major factions."
"Alright..." Emily’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him, then nodded and continued. "After becoming an Orange Legendary Hero, White Bear Tsar shot straight to the top—he’s now considered the strongest player in the world. The first ever to reach that rank."
"Under his lead, it took less than three days for the Russian Empire to swallow up most of Asia and Africa. Those countries are basically vassal states now."
"To push back against the Russian Empire, the European players—led by the top European guild, Olympus Pantheon—teamed up with players from Oceania and formed a new alliance: The Pantheon."
"As for us... we joined forces with the South American players and created The Free Federation."
