Kill the Sun-Chapter 957 The End is Near
In the next decades, Nick focused on his own abilities.
During these years, Nick paid attention to the Champion.
He was growing older by the day.
Surprisingly, even though the Champion was a Savior, his longevity had not increased.
He still could only live to 2,500 years of age.
His Zephyx regeneration could barely keep up with his passive Zephyx usage.
The Champion was weak.
Just staying conscious was work for him, and his mind didn't work as well anymore.
The Saviors talked to him more and more since they knew that he would soon leave them.
Nick hadn't seen a lot of the old Champion's life, but he had seen the new Champion's entire life.
In the beginning, the new Champion had been arrogant, incompetent, and insecure.
Living up to the old Champion's legacy seemed almost impossible.
But as Nick looked at the current Champion.
'I don't know about the old Champion, but I know that you have more than lived up to his legacy.'
The Champion had accomplished so much in his life.
He had led Aegis against the Seven Corruptors, the Trio of Destruction, Death, the Envious Researcher, the Maw, and Nurse Alice.
Humanity hadn't feared the Specters for a thousand years.
At this moment, humanity had over ten Saviors, and three of them were even Early Saviors.
If all of them banded together, there was even a chance that they could damage or destroy the Sun.
Yet, until the bitter end, the Champion claimed that the Sun was their ally.
This was why Nick had thought the aliens would end the era early.
Aegis already had the power to damage the Sun.
The only thing that kept them from trying was the Champion.
One day, the Champion asked for quiet and peace in his office.
He just weakly lay on his throne, his eyes sunken.
He looked at the world with his perception.
The people were happy.
The old fairy tale of the Champion of Light had essentially come true for them.
Thousands of years ago, the people believed in the Champion of Light.
He would free them of the Specters eventually.
And he had done just that.
That was when the Champion noticed something.
Over the middle of the ocean, someone familiar was hovering in the air.
It was Julian Winter.
The Champion looked at Nick for a bit, and Nick just looked back.
Eventually, the Champion just smiled weakly.
He leaned back in his throne and closed his eyes.
His Zephyx Synchronizer stopped working.
His consciousness faded.
Nick watched as the Champion's life ended.
Nick had respected many people in his life, but he had never respected anyone as much as the current Champion.
He had done an excellent job.
He truly lived up to his name.
The next moment, Nick vanished again.
A grand funeral was held the next day.
The world wept.
At the height of the funeral, the Sun suddenly brightened.
The people believed that this was a sign of respect from the Sun.
But then, the eyes of the Saviors, the Shields, and the Protectors opened in horror.
New knowledge appeared in their minds.
Knowledge about an imperceivable being that could cause endless suffering.
It grew stronger the less people knew about it.
And then, the wailing began.
All the powerful Extractors screamed in terror and pain as the Null activated its ability.
Panic and terror spread across the world, and it wouldn't stop anytime soon.
The screaming continued for days, and the Heroes tried their best to stop whatever was happening, but they were powerless.
The first Protector died a week later.
The last Protector died three months later.
The first Shield died a year later.
The last Shield died ten years later.
The first Savior died 30 years later.
The last Savior died 50 years later.
Within 50 years, all powerful Extractors died, and the world entered an era of panic and unrest.
Zephyx production for the aliens shot through the roof.
The era reset had already begun, and this was the first step.
"Gather in this place," the Sun spoke.
Nick moved towards the indicated place, which was over the Atlantic Ocean.
As Nick arrived, he saw five more Specters.
Surprisingly, there was still a wild Adversary.
The other four were Fallen.
Since all of them had arrived here, it meant that the Sun had called all of them over.
"Free Nurse Alice, the Shark Mother, the Salt Trident, the Eternal Hunger, and the False Hope," the Sun told Nick.
Nick nodded and entered Aegis' headquarters.
No human could stop him.
First, Nick opened the Containment Unit of Nurse Alice, killing any human who reacted to the alarm.
When the door opened, Nurse Alice looked at Nick.
"The era is about to end," Nick said as he transmitted the coordinates of the gathering place to her.
Nurse Alice nodded and left Aegis' headquarters.
Next, Nick opened the Containment Unit of the Shark Mother, which immediately flew to the meeting place.
Nick and the Salt Trident talked for a bit, and Nick carried it with him.
The Salt Trident couldn't move on its own.
So, he simply used his Telekinesis to carry it.
Nick had to force the False Hope and the Eternal Hunger into compliance since neither of them had any intelligence. freēnovelkiss.com
Eventually, Nick flew back to the meeting place with the three Specters he carried with him.
Nurse Alice and the Shark Mother were already there.
All in all, there were eleven Specters in this place.
"Do we need anyone else?" Nick asked the Sun.
"No, this is everyone," the Sun said.
The eleven Specters waited patiently as a beam of light came down from the Sun, surrounding them.
These eleven Specters would be the only ones that would survive the era.
Everyone outside this place would die, aside from the Null and the Nightmare.
Including those two and the Sun, there were five Eternals, five Adversaries, and four Fallen.
The four Fallen would represent humanity's biggest direct enemy in the next era.
They would cause the most suffering and chaos.
The False Hope and the Eternal Hunger would eradicate all life outside the cities.
The Salt Trident and the Shark Mother would eradicate all life within the oceans and keep humanity separated.
The new Adversary would be the leader of the four Fallen.
Nurse Alice would return to her old job of killing anyone who spoke the Sentence.
Nick would do the job of the Envious Researcher and the Maw.
The team had been assembled.
The next moment, the Sun brightened even more.
It was time to end the era.
