Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 998: Chapter 417: Extraordinary and Conflict_3

The formation of Erosion Dungeons leads to Transcendent disasters, which ordinary people cannot handle; instead, if they enter rashly, they would be devoured by the Erosion Dungeon and become nourishment for the space within to further erode reality.

And yet, Transcendents with abilities are all preparing for the World Dungeon and will not intervene at this moment.

Thus, every day, various news and trending topics are filled with Transcendent disasters triggered by Erosion Dungeons.

If it’s a low-level Erosion Dungeon, players without World Dungeon qualifications could still handle it.

But when encountering a high-level Erosion Dungeon, one can only seal off the area and wait for a few days until the World Dungeon ends before organizing a raiding team.

In this situation, the hands that previously pushed Transcendents into the public eye are at work once again.

They begin to expose the indifference of Transcendents in saving others and start writing dramatized stories and conspiracy theories, claiming that it’s all a plot by Transcendents to eliminate ordinary people as it developed to this stage.

With provocation, ordinary people, having only recently learned about Transcendents, many have already begun to harbor resentment towards them, and anti-Transcendent protests erupted worldwide.

People label Transcendents as terrorists bringing danger, demanding the expulsion of these people from their countries.

Transcendents with large-scale backing are not affected by these people, but those with no strength, who only wish to become internet celebrities, suffer greatly.

They initially posted their abilities on personal accounts merely to flaunt their Extraordinary Abilities and attract traffic to their accounts, earning wealth.

Most of these individuals lack awareness of protection, with uncovered backgrounds in videos, and not even hiding IP addresses, making it easy for them to be doxxed.

Many extreme anti-Transcendent individuals trace the exposed addresses, launching attacks and insults against these Transcendent influencers, sharing the incidents online via livestreams and videos.

Having become Wild Transcendents, they more or less consider themselves as chosen ones, believing themselves superior and intolerant of such issues.

The streamers live-streaming attacks on Transcendents were consistently assassinated within one day. Since the perpetrators used Extraordinary Abilities, the police couldn’t investigate and had to let it go unresolved.

The consecutive assassinations of major streamers further deepened the divide between Transcendents and ordinary people, with an imminent water-and-fire clash.

Conflicts between ordinary people and Wild Transcendents are intensifying, but in the eyes of Abyss Players, especially the Four Major Organizations, this is just child’s play.

Unlike the ordinary people’s perspective, the Extraordinary Realm is also descending into chaos, though the source of chaos is related but not entirely connected to recent Transcendent exposures.

Compared to the conflict itself between ordinary people and Transcendents, the Four Major Organizations are more concerned about the identity of the masterminds behind the scenes.

These individuals clearly came prepared, aiming to push the concept of the Extraordinary into the spotlight, making it known to all, and lay the groundwork for the Bright Society to construct a massive Pillar of the Present World, connecting the Desolate Realm and the Realm of Reason.

These people are the root of chaos, and dealing with them requires heavy-handed measures.

The Four Major Organizations traced these people via the internet, and in dealing with them, they will offer no leniency, handling the situation by the strictest means of each organization.

Aside from these public opinion manipulators, the Four Major Organizations are also cleansing the list given in the confessions from the Totem Organization’s high-ranking members.

All organizations closely interacting with the Totem Organization and possibly bought by the Bright Society are being investigated.

The Four Major Organizations have all moved out, presenting a posture of sweeping away all moles before the World Dungeon.

Suddenly, rumors are rampant in the Desolate Realm, like the appearance of the concept of the Extraordinary in the public eye, the words ”Bright Society” have also begun appearing in the eyes of the Desolate Realm players.

Since the end of the qualification dungeon, Blue Star has become chaotic, with intense conflicts breaking out everywhere in the world, whether from the ordinary or Transcendent sides.

This change resembles animals growing restless due to pressure and magnetic field changes before a natural disaster.

Without needing explicit mention, people’s subconscious can sense an impending crisis, and they’re all releasing their internal suppression and unease through conflict.

Amid this global turbulence, Wanghai City, under the Divine Kingdom Shelter of Erin, remains unaffected by the chaotic atmosphere, like a haven outside the world.

Indeed, in the span of two days, an Erosion Dungeon appeared near Wanghai City.

It was a B-Level Erosion Dungeon, a real B-Level Erosion Dungeon, unlike the fragments of the Erosion Dungeon released by Painter previously.

Without a team of full-level players cooperating to enter, it couldn’t be fully conquered. In other secondary cities, the Management Bureau would organize an emergency evacuation, first sealing off the area where the dungeon is, waiting for the World Dungeon to end before raiding it.

But in Wanghai City, before the B-Level Erosion Dungeon even fully formed, it was casually dealt with by Wu Chang and Erin taking a stroll after dinner.

For the current Wu Chang, conquering Erosion Dungeons no longer rewards him; the only gain he gets is a paltry 1 point of Energy, bringing his accumulated Energy of Mortal Poison to 26/50.

Thanks to Wu Chang and Erin’s efforts, people proceed with their work and studies as usual, feeling neither an impending crisis nor overwhelming hostility, and not needing conflict to vent their emotions.

Residents of Wanghai City, even when seeing such news, often think it’s just media hype, wondering what such a small issue is worth causing such a fuss over.

Just now, Wu Chang and Erin had finished a round of inspection in Wanghai City and returned home.

Wu Chang opened his phone and saw that a large-scale conflict erupted again over at the White Tower side, where a group of radical rednecks attacked a suspected Wild Transcendent illegal immigrant with rifles.

The Wild Transcendent awakened with flame abilities, not only turning over a dozen pursuing rednecks into firemen but also igniting the commercial district in the city center, causing over three hundred casualties.

Due to the Transcendent’s superior Talent, the White Tower absorbed him, intending to make him an Abyssal Game Player.

Many ordinary people are dissatisfied with this, organizing into teams, attempting to storm the police station detaining the Transcendent, as stated in official reports.

Watching the fascinating scenes, Wu Chang showed a look of envy.

If he were on the White Tower side, his insights into Chaos Authority would certainly advance rapidly. If he could activate Chaos Authority again, the scenery would be even more captivating.

As he lamented the distance making it impossible to teleport to the White Tower, he received a message from Hou Jingchuan.

The Four Major Organizations are ready with the Faith Virus, and he can head to the Management Bureau headquarters to receive it. Furthermore, the Bright Society envoy captured at the Totem Organization revealed some useful information.
