City A.
Hero Association Headquarters building.
This building, standing in the center of the city like a steel fortress, was brilliantly lit at this moment.
The atmosphere in the conference room was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
On the giant circular screen, the earth-shattering battle from earlier that day was being replayed over and over again.
Although the footage was not very clear due to the distance of the cameras and the terrifying energy interference at the scene.
But even so.
Everyone could still feel the sense of suffocation rushing at them through the screen.
The evil aura emanating from that purple Monster made the staff responsible for intelligence analysis feel cold in their hands and feet, even just from watching the recording.
“Everyone, this is the twelfth time it has been played today.” Sitch, who was sitting at the head of the table, had his brows tightly locked together, furrowed enough to crush a fly.
He pointed at Vaccine Man on the screen, who was roaring at the sky in a large crater, his transformed figure blotting out the sky.
His tone carried a deep sense of lingering fear.
“This thing…
the Intelligence Division has already raised its disaster Rank from Demon Level to Dragon Level, and perhaps…
it might even be an entity above mid-Dragon Level.” “If it weren’t for this mysterious person who suddenly appeared.” “Our City A…
would likely have been wiped off the map by half today.” The high-ranking officials in the conference room were deathly silent.
No one refuted this.
Because this was an ironclad fact.
A Monster that could easily kill an A-Class Hero and was even prepared to self-destruct to destroy the city was simply not something that could be dealt with by ordinary police or military forces.
The scene changed.
It turned to the moment the “Golden Light Man” appeared.
That golden light descending from the sky.
That terrifying speed refracting back and forth between several light mirrors.
And finally, that pillar of divine punishment light that pierced through heaven and earth.
“Who exactly is this person?” A pot-bellied executive wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn’t help but ask.
“In our Hero registry, there is absolutely no such person!” “This ability looks like both a light-based weapon and some kind of high-level superpower…
Could it be a new type of combat weapon developed by Dr.
Bofoi (Metal Knight)?” At this moment, a corner of the screen lit up.
It was the call icon for the S-Class Hero, Metal Knight, who was connected remotely.
“Denied.” A cold, mechanical voice came from the speaker, carrying an arrogance that kept people at a distance.
“This is not my technology.” “With current technological levels, wanting to materialize energy to this density, and also being able to maintain a human form while performing super-light-speed movement…” “Is simply impossible.” “This is more like some kind of…
biological mutation ability.” Even Metal Knight denied it?
There was another commotion in the conference room.
“Regardless of who he is, possessing power sufficient to rival or even surpass an S-Class Hero, we must find him as soon as possible!” Sitch slammed the table, his eyes flashing with the light of determination.
“Investigate!
Use all surveillance methods!
All intelligence networks!” “This mysterious powerhouse codenamed ‘Golden Light Man’ must be recruited to our Hero Association!” “If he gets recruited by those Monsters or some other faction…” “The consequences would be unimaginable!” …
And just when the big shots at the Hero Association were racking their brains over Sage’s identity.
In another dimension.
That is, in the online world where Sage had casually uploaded his game.
Things were undergoing a wondrous change.
Originally, the gaming platform where Sage uploaded his game had low traffic, and with his simple cover and description, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean at first, without even splashing a ripple.
“0 downloads.” This embarrassing data held steady for a full two hours.
Until late at night.
A small streamer named “Bald Cat Staying Up Late,” while listlessly browsing the new game section for material to complain about.
By a stroke of fate, his hand slipped and clicked the download button for “Genshin Impact.” “Huh?
What kind of name is this?
‘Genshin Impact’?
It sounds like a cheap knock-off.” “Although it’s only a few hundred megabytes in size, it’s probably just some poorly made mini-game.” “Brothers, since it’s already downloaded, let’s go in and see what kind of mine this is, so I can help everyone avoid the pit!” The streamer yawned while casually joking with the few hundred viewers in the live stream who were also falling asleep.
Install.
Open.
The screen went black for a moment.
Immediately after.
The animation of the white stone gate that would later haunt the dreams of countless people, accompanied by ethereal, distant, and heavenly background music, slowly appeared on the screen.
“What the f*ck?” The streamer had just picked up his water cup to take a sip, but the moment he saw this opening scene, he was completely stunned.
The water cup stopped at his mouth, and he forgot to drink.
This is too…
exquisite, right?
This image quality?
This lighting?
