Chapter 357: Eighty-Third Floor, The Void (7)
[Uncover the truth, then decide. Time remaining: 42 hours 12 minutes.]
How shall I continue?
The noisy city went completely still. There was no noise, as if everyone were holding their breath. In that silence, it was hard to get the words out.
It wasn’t because I was nervous, nor was it because I hadn’t thought about what to say. I just wasn’t sure if what I was about to say was really the right thing.
After the brief silence that followed the chaos, murmurs slowly began to rise from outside.
“Is that the guy who...?”
“What do you mean by ‘that guy’? That’s a god standing there!”
Word about me had already spread while I was bringing people back from the Void.
They had seen the lightning storm that wiped out the monsters in an instant. Some had even seen me clash with forces from other bases. Some people thought that I had kidnapped the chairman, while others had swarmed the government building because I showed up with him.
Some probably came because of the broadcast, too.
The other cities were probably just as chaotic, which was why I had ordered the guards to shut every dimensional gate in this complex.
Other militaries could show up, but that was a problem for later.
