Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

A few moments ago, while Shane was busy with the notification he had received from the system, his team was actually doing well in the battle.

The reason was simple: Shane’s Aura of Protection was still active.

[ Aura of Protection Lv10 (Max): The Survivor emits a protective aura that shields a small area from harm, deflecting attacks, curses, or environmental hazards while providing security to allies within its range.

Cost: 50 Spirit Points/minute ]

Lastly, Shane was actually wearing his Leader’s Crown!

[ Leader’s Crown ( Master ): A commanding headpiece fashioned from the crown of a fallen Crypt Crawler Leader. Its jagged design intimidates foes, while the embedded gems enhance the wearer’s cognitive abilities.

Effects: +40% damage resistance against headshots, +30% improved vision in low light conditions.

Special Effect:

Command: Increases the wearer’s influence over allied units, boosting their morale and combat efficiency. Grants +20% to allied attack speed and critical chance.

Cost: 15 Spirit Points/minute ]

With the effect of these two items, everyone was able to fight against the Giant Zombies surprisingly well!

A group of three Super Soldiers led by Mara was able to bring down Giant Zombie with their Abyssal Iron Gauntlets!

They targeted Mara and distracted the Zombie while the other two worked together to destroy the knees of the Zombies!

They delivered powerful blows with practiced movement!

Meanwhile, another group of three Super Soldiers that was led by Cassius, engaged in a fierce skirmish with a second Giant Zombie.

Cassius, known for his brute force techniques, even dared to grab the Giant Zombie’s wrist with his two arms to drag it down!

The two others also grabbed the ankles of the Giant Zombie to put it out of balance!

Once it was down, it would be a lot easier to slowly break the Giant Zombie!

Together, they unleashed powerful punches as their gauntlets struck the joints, eyes, and ankles of the Zombie to ensure that it wouldn’t have any more strength to stand up!

Not far away, the five Elves, led by Eldrin, clashed with a third Giant Zombie. Their Great Hunter Bows hummed as they rained arrows upon the undead behemoth’s head!

Eldrin guided his comrades as they coordinated their attacks to ensure maximum damage!

With the high Critical Rate, they were able to cause massive damage just from a volley of arrows!

The Elves whittled away at the Giant Zombie’s defenses and slowly brought it down!

It was at this time that Shane was able to listen to the message he left for himself.

”What?” Shane was stunned as soon as he heard the message from the Cloud—No, to be exact, a message from him, who had chosen the Fairy Realm Collision or the second Apocalypse in his choice.

”Be wary of the other Apocalypse Ender. The one who ended the missing ninth Apocalypse: Vampire’s Rise.” Shane repeated as he realized that the mystery of their selection grew deeper.

”Cloud, is that all? No other explanation?” Shane asked… At this time, he also recalled the first message he received for himself. It was the message telling him not to survive the Apocalypse but to end it!

’It seems that there’s a huge consequence if I fail to end an Apocalypse and just survive it.’ He mused.

[ That is all the message you left after reaching level 25. If you want to hear all the other messages that you’ve arranged for yourself, then level up quickly. ] Cloud replied.

”Why did I even do that? Ugh…” Shane shook his head as he could only think that it was to encourage him to level up instead of just lazying around after becoming strong.

Anyway, the message was truly an eye-opener for him.

After all, he had never considered that there was a ninth apocalypse.

He recalled that there were A.I. Rebellion, Alien Invasion, Demon Invasion, Dragon Awakening, Fairy Realm Collision, Magic War, Ragnarok, and Zombie Outbreak.

There were a total of eight of them.

Now that he thinks about it, Vampire-Themed Apocalypse should also have a place in the options, but it wasn’t there at all.

’Right, are there other Apocalypses I’m missing out?’ Shane mused as he tried to recall the different kinds of End of the World themes aside from the ones he already knew about…

He then recalled some Asteroid-Themed Armageddon or Nuclear Holocaust that caused resource depletion.

’Ugh… I’m thinking too much…’ Shane shook his head as he should just prepare little by little.

Now that he knew about the existence of other Apocalypse Ender, he had to prepare himself. Since he received a warning about this Ender, he could only guess that this person would cause trouble or even hunt him because he had somehow ended the two other Apocalypses.

’Will they even know about me? When will I encounter this person anyway?’

At this time, he recalled the Elf Administrator…

Since he had received rewards from the two other Apocalypses, the other Ender might have a way of detecting his abnormality, just like how the Elf Admin detected his connection to the Fairy Realm.

’I wonder what kind of skill that person had if he could end the Vampire’s Rise… Why did it not appear in the options at first? Does it mean that he ended the Vampire’s Rise Apocalypse before we even started the Apocalypse?’ Shane mused as he couldn’t help but think that there were other batches of humans or perhaps even another planet that had encountered the same deal with them!

”Ugh… It’s too much speculation… I should focus on the matter at hand.” Shane muttered to himself as he looked at the defeated Giant Zombies.

Indeed, as he surveyed the battlefield, a surge of pride swelled within him as he confirmed that the combined efforts of his companions bore fruit.

They managed to defeat high-tier Zombies by working together!

”Everyone, I would like you to gain experience points as well, but I need to level up faster. I will be looting them for now. Later on, you can continue looting the low-tier and some mid-tier Zombies.” Shane said to the group of elves and Super Soldiers who had just won the battle.
