Three Towers Game

He even thought that if this golden orb, like a sun, could stay aloft a little longer, its impact on the future would be higher than completing an ordinary Level 7 mission.

But soon, Wenren Mirror realized things weren’t going as smoothly as he imagined.

The giant golden orb floating in the sky began to tremble violently.

It hovered for about an hour.

During this hour, many things quietly changed.

In a certain high school, a bullied and oppressed individual suddenly awakened his powers early, igniting his courage to live. He had originally prepared to jump off the school’s rooftop.

In the second floor of a convenience store, a woman, who was being domestically abused and about to be dismembered and stuffed into a closet, suddenly gained the strength to resist.

On a certain highway, a taxi that had strayed into an alternate dimension suddenly, inexplicably, returned to the human world. After confirming repeatedly that they had escaped that ghostly place full of bread-faced spirits, the driver sobbed with joy at surviving.

In a certain laboratory, a ”super ninja” being cultivated, a radiation-modified human codenamed ”Falcon Dragon,” suddenly opened his eyes, and his lost memories surprisingly returned.

The laboratory staff didn’t notice this scene. In the next instant, terrifying flashes of blades crisscrossed, reducing various equipment to fragments.

It wasn’t just some individuals with potentials overcoming their predicaments; some supernatural tales were also being dismantled by the golden light.

During that hour, many people’s obsessions were altered, and countless lives were given a chance.

But only for an hour, the golden orb in the sky began to tremble violently.

It was as if some terrifying force had interfered, causing the golden orb to disintegrate. Countless golden rays scattered, and gradually, the night turned pitch black again.

”Has the power been exhausted, or has it been disrupted by a more formidable force?”

Wenren Mirror sensed the changes in the sky.

He realized that the force he revered was no longer perceptible.

And Morioka Hitomi and Akiyama Sachi had also fallen into a deep sleep.

Wenren Mirror was initially very worried, but then he noticed that Morioka Hitomi had completely returned to being human, and the two children were breathing evenly. He smiled and began to wait patiently.

...

...

In the deep night, everyone in Hujiang was in a state of frenzy.

The supernatural tale of the red phantom, the terrifying legend of a spree killer, was spreading at light speed.

A ghost-like demon dressed in red, suspected to originate from Longxia, had massacred thousands. The live broadcast from Hujiang Restaurant was cut off, and crimson blood seemed to spill out of the screen.

Following this were major disasters like the explosion of a commercial building, the collapse of a roller coaster, and the crash of an airship.

Because of these events, everyone felt an apocalyptic terror.

But what people didn’t know was that Hujiang’s despair-filled doomsday had been delayed for a long time, and Hujiang’s future had changed dramatically.

The apocalyptic chaos would become the battleground for many heroes.

Inside the Morioka Residence—

Akiyama Sachi and Morioka Hitomi were still in a state of deep sleep.

Wen Xishu and Wenren Mirror had already met up. After committing the ”atrocity,” Wen Xishu hadn’t stayed long in District 20 but hurried to the Morioka Residence.

On the way, Wen Xishu pondered what had happened.

After some discussion, Wenren Mirror and Wen Xishu came to almost the same conclusion.

A force that could alter fate, a blessing from some ultra-rare sequence, had been emitted by the two children to various places in Hujiang.

”They might remain unconscious for a long time. It looks like they’ve exhausted their powers,” Wenren Mirror said.

Wen Xishu nodded but then shook his head:

”Power exhaustion is one thing, but on the other hand, there are more terrifying forces intervening in them in this city. Hujiang is worse than we imagined. There might be holders of even rarer sequences, but... they might not be on the human side.”

Wenren Mirror smiled:

”But anyway, we should have done something remarkable. The Great Devourer ending this way is really thrilling.”

Wen Xishu also smiled, starting to look forward to the rewards. His premonition was strong that he might achieve a Level 7 completion this time.

Because many ”obsessions” were changed.

”I wonder if Senior Xun Hui is doing alright,” Wen Xishu was still a bit worried.

But Wenren Mirror was confident:

”For us, breaking the situation is very difficult, but for Xun Hui, he’s just doing what he’s done countless times before. Don’t worry about him.”

Wen Xishu asked:

”You’re so confident in Senior Xun Hui?”

Wenren Mirror remained confident:

”His capacity is no less than any elder. I believe he will become the top person under the teacher in Slaughter Tower.”

Such an assured tone might sound arbitrary from others, but when Wenren Mirror said it, Wen Xishu found it very reasonable.

As they smiled at each other, Morioka Hitomi and Akiyama Sachi finally slowly opened their eyes.

”You’re awake, that’s great,” Wenren Mirror said.

Looking at Wen Xishu and Wenren Mirror, Akiyama Sachi knew that everything in her dream was real.

After falling unconscious, she soon drifted into a dream where everything that happened there was exactly the same as in reality.

This feeling of waking up and finding everything still intact made Akiyama Sachi smile, showing a rarely seen sunny and cheerful side.
