The fleeting moment of clarity was all Chital had before being struck down by Turld's sneak attack.
But his heart had already been pierced through—there was no saving him.
Looking at the other level one P Nation survivor, now also lying in a pool of blood,
there was no doubt who was responsible.
"Turld, why?"
Turld replied coldly, "This is the Apocalypse Era, friend."
"And our goal is clear: surpass that despicable L Nation guy."
"To do that, we have to concentrate the rewards in one person's hands, right?"
"That's the only way to surpass that despicable L Nation guy."
"You..."
Chital spat blood and quickly opened the world chat, typing a message:
[Turld is untrustworthy!]
Then his vision went dark, and he collapsed to the ground.
But in the vast chatter of two billion survivors on the world channel, such a lone message quickly got drowned out, only a lucky few catching sight of it.
Three seconds later, a World Announcement appeared:
[World Announcement: Congratulations to Shelter Leader Turld for killing the level 10 Apocalypse Era boss, becoming the second survivor to defeat a boss.]
[World Announcement: We hope all survivors continue to strive towards the position of Eternal King.]
The forum exploded with activity after the announcement.
[Hahaha, see? I told you our P Nation warrior Turld would become a boss slayer!]
[Big boss Turld is awesome!]
[Watch out, Turld will break through to level three soon and crush that L Nation guy Su Mu!]
[Hold on, this leaderboard was posted this morning. It's afternoon now—don't tell me Su Mu hasn't progressed at all since then.]
[Su Mu only benefited from an early advantage. Our P Nation heroes will surpass him soon!]
[Is that so? Then you should check this out: image.JPG]
The image was Chital's last message and a screenshot showing Chital disappearing from rank 82 on the leaderboard.
[Looks like your strongest P Nation warrior has problems.]
[Right before the World Announcement, Chital vanished and left a last message—hard not to be suspicious.]
[Whatever, this is the Apocalypse Era—everything depends on your own fists!]
[Yeah, yeah, keep licking boots like that, hope you're not the next one to get betrayed.]
[If you ask me, Chital just wasn't careful enough.]
Chital's final words didn't cause much impact.
After all, this was the Apocalypse Era; betrayal was expected.
He could only blame himself for being careless.
But then new doubts emerged.
[Wait, the World Announcement didn't mention the World Blessing at all.]
[Right, it specifically said Turld was the second to kill a boss—shouldn't there be a World Blessing effect then?]
[Remember when Su Mu killed the first world boss, he got the blessing effect.]
[True, no mention here. Could it be the World Blessing only goes to the first killer?]
[That's not like the World Announcement style. Previous rewards gave blessings not just to the first but also others.]
[I think Turld must have a problem.]
[He definitely didn't kill the boss alone, yet he got no World Blessing effect.]
[Stop spreading rumors—you can't rule out the possibility that the second killer just doesn't get the blessing!]
The forum erupted into chaos again.
Meanwhile, Turld in the cave felt frustrated.
Why didn't he get the World Blessing?
It just didn't make sense.
"Hmph, probably only given to the first killer."
"Whatever, just a small early advantage—I'll surpass that L Nation guy eventually!"
Turld consoled himself and prepared to collect the boss's loot.
At that moment, another World Announcement appeared:
[World Announcement: Congratulations to Shelter Leader Su Mu for killing the level 18 Apocalypse Era boss, becoming the survivor who has killed bosses three times, and receiving the World Blessing effect.]
[World Announcement: We hope all survivors continue to strive towards the position of Eternal King.]
Once again, the forum went wild.
[Some people get all cocky because they killed a level 10 boss with a team.]
[Look at Su Mu—he just soloed a level 18 Apocalypse Era boss.]
[Impossible! You L Nation people must be cheating!]
[Yeah, right. Killing a boss with a team isn't cheating, but Su Mu soloing one is cheating?]
[Su Mu, please let me cling to you—I'll gladly be your backup while you solo bosses.]
[Also, note that Su Mu got the blessing, but Turld didn't.]
[Who's the problem here is obvious.]
