Chapter 1762  Blue Cloud

Everyoneʼs heart jumped when they heard those parts, fixing their mess. It was indeed bad news.

”After what happened in the Trial of God. The Master put a lot of attention on the Administrator he was once proud of. Master found the problem is not just in the lower-ranked Administrators. The problem exists even in the highest ranking.”

Cloud motioned with his hand for the remaining Executive Administrators to sit.

Everyone picked their seat, and most of them sat closer to Arion and Clementine. Even though they were the highest ranking in the Administrator Space, people revered them. They still had something to fear, the System Avatar.

To them, the System Avatar was like an actual God. They had seen what this Avatar was capable of.

Everyone sat, except for one person. Clementine and Arion noticed it first because they were already in their seats. They noticed that Palmas remained standing.

Only then did the others start to notice that one of them was sitting with them. They turned toward the Palmas.

The man was rooted on his spot, standing still. If not for the panic on his expression, they might think Palmas was joking around. The panic slowly turned into fear.

Palmas opened his mouth, saying something but the voice did not come out. His eyes blinked many times in panic, asking for help from the other Executive Administrators.

”Master trusted you all, giving you all freedom to choose the people who will sit with you here to fight the void. But you have disappointed Master.”

”Whatʼs even more infuriating, one of you has betrayed the Master! Not only did you fail to perform your duty, you betrayed the Masterʼs trust!”

ARRRGGHHHH!

Palmasʼ scream echoed in the room. From knees down to toes disappeared into a pool of blood, revealing the white bone and the flesh. Blood poured out from the thigh, and Palmas landed exactly on his cut thigh, still standing.

He was panting in pain and tried to say something. But his voice disappeared again. His mouth moved, but no words came out.

”Palmas manipulates Adam, overreaching his authority as Administrator and Player. For that, he will be punished! He will be executed!”

Palmasʼ body burst out, and the blood sprayed out all over. On the table, to the other Executive Administratorsʼ clothes. Just blood, no flesh and bones.

”Master knows some of you collude with Palmas, but because Master loves you. You will be forgiven, just this once. This is the first and the last time.”

The Executive Administrators looked down at the table. What they witnessed just now was proof that the System could kill them anytime. Just like what happened to Palmas, it could happen to them as well.

”In your heart, you might wonder why players are given freedom if you are not allowed to change. Itʼs to help you to develop your own skills, your class, your bloodline, and even your race. In exchange for that, you are not allowed to change the foundation of the System. It means you can get stronger infinitely, with no ceiling with how far you can get stronger.”

”You all should know this. For how long you have lived and how long you have sat in your position, you should already know the rules.”

Cloud shook his head and sounded disappointed. These people became less wise the older they got.

”Master is already disappointed with how the Administrator failed to make progress in exterminating the Void Cult. Now one of you touched the taboo you should not have touched. In fact, you made the Void Cult stronger because of your stupid political game.”

All ten Executive Administrators lowered their heads. They were like kids getting scolded by adults. It looked exactly like that in this meeting room.

”For all the privilege and benefit you received, you barely made any progress… No, is there any progress, at all? We are regressing, in fact. The Void Cult gets stronger. They develop a new way to summon the Void Gate.”

Cloud paused and scanned the ten Executive Administrators.

”What about you? Not only do you fail to match with the Void Cultʼs growth, you are regressing. You are getting weaker. Instead of looking for and nurturing someone worthy of the Executive Administratorʼs position, you gate keep your position. Killing those with potential just because you are afraid of getting replaced!”

”So yeah, I am here to fix your mess. Letʼs start with the highest-ranking order, the Executive Administrator. If not for Master, I want to get rid of some of you. I have a few names from Adam, and that should be enough evidence to kill you. Be grateful that the Master doesnʼt want that.”

”Since the Master doesnʼt want to get rid of you, you need to do something. Give me reasons why I should keep you in your position!”

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes, raising his right eyebrow. He did not like it when he received help but he did not know the reason. He was being cautious, and it was suspicious when someone helped him without expecting anything from him.

”So how do I know whether the protection is active or not?”

Even though Cloud meant well to him, he did not blindly trust Cloud. As he was thinking about how to find out whether Earth was under Protection or not, he received a message from Zhang Mengyao and Li Shuang.

Zhang Mengyaoʼs message came from and was followed by Li Shuangʼs message five seconds later. When he opened Zhang Mengyaoʼs message, he received more from Lu An and the others.

All people on Earth received a notification about the isolation message for four years. Zhang Mengyao was telling him that as well as the others.

Cloud was telling the truth, no deception with the promise.

”Is there a way for me to meet Cloud again, Adam?”

Tang Shaoyang wanted to make everything clear, so he could leave for the special mission with ease. He expected the rejection from Adam, but it was not even a rejection. Adam did not even give him a response.

[Adam is still in maintenance, and I will replace Adam for the time being. My name is Blue Cloud!]

[Sir Cloud is currently busy with his mission. You might not be able to meet him for at least one month. But I will still convey your wish to meet him.]
