Chương 742: 742 The world at the palm of his hands

Sitting atop the rock, Liam calmly read the various reports that came his way.

"So much chaos and commotion for this beast horde? Tch. Tch. No wonder we fell so quickly the last time around."

His gaze shifted to the beasts that were struggling against his minions. The truth was that though this particular event was terrifying and the beast horde was a force to reckon with, the actual beasts in the horde were still manageable.

They were all around Level 50 and even if they possess a mana core, it was nothing spectacular. At least it was just for show and they did not actually tap into it.

There was a sizeable mountain of mana cores piled up next to him and Liam wondered why there were so few beasts in the game that could actually use the potential of their cores. The tutorial did not cover this aspect?

He felt this was weird and then continued looking at the rest of the reports. Just as he thought most of the guilds were whining and complaining that someone else did not solve the problem for them.

"You want the cheating method?" Liam laughed at the ridiculous notion.

It was also clear that his main occupation hadn't spread yet. Except for the few core members and the high-council members of the guild not many people had witnessed him use the soul minions.

Even back at the PVP tower fight, when he was facing Crawford, the display had been cut off and his soul minions were hidden from the public eye.

"I guess when we finally face each other, I can give you a good surprise." Liam grinned, his eyes now browsing through the ranking leaderboard with a smile.

Crimson Abyss was still number one, not just in the Gresh Kingdom, but also in the whole world. The second rank was occupied by 'Battle Gods' without any big surprises there.

Liam also recognized the third and fourth rank guild names, Devil Tyrants and Galaxy Guardians. These two guilds were famous in his last lifetime as well. They were top-tier A-rank guilds that were on the cusp of becoming S-Rank guilds.

But the guilds that really caught his eye were the various government-associated guilds. It only took him one look to realize what was happening here and who could possibly be behind all of this.

To use the beast siege event as a stage to showcase the power of the government and to actually convince so many world leaders to agree to this major decision, there was only one person who was capable of such a feat, to orchestrate something so big and monumental.

His favourite oracle!

He had been silent for a while but Liam did not forget about him.

And if he actually managed to accomplish something like this, his power and backing in the real world and in the game world had already increased to a terrifying level.

If Liam's assumption was indeed correct, then he was no longer within his grasp. It was quite unbelievable that someone was capable of changing history more than he was.

This person should now single-handedly wield more power than anyone else alive. It was almost as if he was already the Emperor of the unknown new world, uniting all the forces.

However, there was only one problem. Was the man operating in the shadows powerful enough by himself? If yes, then Liam had to applaud his genius and his efforts. But if not, then he could only laugh at all of these developments.

Making political and strategic moves like this, having the world in your pocket was surely impressive. But what about when everything changed and all order collapsed?

When it comes down to it, the new world demanded one thing and only one thing, true power. When that need arises, all these alliances would only crumble into nothingness.

So he was not in the least bothered about this development, at least not yet. Everything was just starting and the real battle for survival was yet to begin.

"I hope for your own good, you know what you are doing." Liam chuckled lightly.

With these new developments, perhaps the apocalypse will be more interesting this time around. He clenched his fists in excitement.

Though the unpredictability of the dangerous future was quite terrifying, he couldn't help but feel excited at the same time. He was not the same helpless person any longer.

He closed all the system interfaces and then took a deep breath before first taking out all the black beads in his possession.

Now that he had almost completely recovered from his tiredness, he wanted to stuff all the beads in his possession with the plentiful souls in front of him.

Liam first carefully picked out the beads that had the wyvern and dragon souls and put them away because these were too precious for him to meddle with. He then started stuffing the remaining beads with as many souls as he possibly could.

Too bad he only had a few of these with him. So this process got over rather quickly, especially with the speed at which all his minions and Luna were slaughtering everything in sight.

If someone saw this scene, they would assume that the snow-white fox was also an undead because she showed no signs of fatigue. The rabbit, who also hadn't shown up in a while, was out and about, busily collecting anything shiny and glittering.

As for the star of the show, it was still the three-headed wyvern, no matter how much Luna tried to outshine the draconic beast.

He was wreaking complete terror and devastation on the beast horde from three directions, with no end in sight. The beast was simply too brutal.

Did three-headed wyverns even exist naturally? If a three-headed wyvern was so powerful just how strong would a three-headed dragon be? Liam wondered as he smiled at this spectacular scene. He couldn't help but want to start forging the dragon souls.

However, he was fully aware that he would instantly die if he tried to do that. He was only barely able to withstand the backlash from the wyvern souls, so he still needed more training and strengthening before he attempted that one.

"Alright. It's time I joined this party!"
