Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 437: Come Find Me If You Dare
Under the pressure of a powerful aura, Alfred felt his legs go weak. He was too afraid of Waldo, completely devoid of any will to fight. Hearing Waldo’s words, he felt as if he had plunged into an icy abyss, his entire body chilled to the core.
"Why? Why are you so fast?" Alfred managed to utter, his throat feeling as if it were clamped shut, making speaking difficult.
Waldo, however, paid no heed and made his move. A long spear appeared in his hand, thrusting forward like a relentless giant snake. "Die!" Waldo shouted, his voice booming like thunder.
Alfred’s eyes widened in rage as he let out a roar. Then, a green lightning bolt shot out of his mouth. This was actually a dark green, extremely sharp small sword, dripping with verdant hues and shimmering with a bright green light. The sword, with its terrifyingly sharp aura, gave the impression that it could pierce through the hardest of substances.
Waldo sensed a hint of danger. It was evident that this small sword was Alfred’s trump card. "I can’t take it head-on! Even with my full-level robust body, I can’t withstand it," Waldo thought.
Then, with a flick of his long spear, there was a loud bang, and the dark green sword was knocked away. Waldo flickered and appeared behind Alfred. His spear, turning into a towering pillar, smashed down with the force of millions of tons, collapsing the void.
Boom!
An endless explosion of fire erupted, more fierce than a volcanic eruption. Flames burst out, spreading in all directions, and in an instant, everything was engulfed.
Alfred’s agonizing scream was abruptly silenced by the impact!
Not long after.
Whoosh!
The wind blew, the flames dissipated, and dust swirled in the air. A figure appeared at the spot, it was Waldo. On the ground lay a charred corpse, its features unrecognizable, impossible to identify.
"It’s over!" Waldo glanced at the dead Alfred and snorted coldly. "Alfred, you deserved to die! The moment you set your sights on me, planning to snatch my super Source stones, you and your companions were already dead men. Thinking of escaping? There’s no escape! Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will still kill you!"
Having said this, Waldo paused for a moment, then went to the system’s chat channel. He was well aware of what Alfred had done before.
He often kept an eye on the chat channel, easily coming across the words Alfred had said. Waldo was aware that Alfred was slandering him to many people, heedless of right and wrong.
However, Waldo didn’t care too much about this. After all, he had been accustomed to being branded as a villain from the beginning. He didn’t see this as a bad thing; in fact, it often proved to be quite convenient.
Because in the eyes of others, being seen as a brutal and bloodthirsty executioner made people afraid and hesitant to provoke him, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Of course, there were disadvantages too. It made him a target for those who, under the guise of upholding order and rules, would attack him. They sought to eliminate the ’evil’ he represented, hoping to expand their own influence and popularity, and to earn the favor of others.
But for Waldo, who possessed great strength, he welcomed others causing trouble for him. Because those who came looking for trouble were destined to be killed by him. Waldo was confident in facing all difficulties, emerging victorious and collecting a bounty of war spoils.
Therefore, when he knew Alfred was defaming him on the chat channel, drawing hatred towards him, and even revealing the number of super Source stones he possessed, he did not immediately appear to stop Alfred’s actions. Waldo genuinely didn’t care how others viewed him, nor did he fear others targeting him.
"Waldo is completely lawless! How dare he do this? With so many people watching, he unabashedly kills others; he’s too arrogant!"
"You’re right, survival in the Dark Land is hard enough for us trialists. We not only face terrifying monsters but are also hunted by the natives. If we don’t help each other, we should at least avoid killing each other! Look at Waldo, the chat channel just opened, and he’s already using despicable means to slaughter other trialists. Who knows how he will treat us in the future!"
"Talking about it gives me goosebumps. Waldo is already killing without any restraint; what if he plans to kill all of us trialists over time!"
"Kill us? That’s a joke! A huge joke! If he dares to lay a hand on me, I’ll kill him in a minute!"
The chat channel was already exploding with comments. Many people had seen Waldo’s appearance and witnessed him killing Alfred. To them, Waldo seemed like a murderous maniac.
As fellow trialists who have just arrived in this world, we should be helping and supporting each other. But what about Waldo? For his own selfish gains, he kills without restraint, slaughtering the innocent! For a time, countless people were cursing him.
Besides, many were preparing to set out, following the location previously shared by Alfred, looking to cause trouble for Waldo. When Waldo entered the chat channel, he posted only one message:
"All who wish to avenge Alfred, feel free to come find me! All who desire the super Source stones, come and get them!"
He seemed intent on provoking others. He took out the five super Source stones and photographed them from various angles.
The dazzling and brilliant purple halo emitted by the five super Source stones was incredibly bright and captivating, sparking endless fantasies in anyone who saw them. Even Waldo was momentarily mesmerized by this sight at one point.
The appearance of the photo further stimulated the trialists’ nerves.
"Damn, Alfred wasn’t lying, there really are five super Source stones!"
"Oh my god! I don’t have a single super Source stone right now!"
According to the data provided by the system, normally, one super Source stone is born from every four monsters. To have five super Source stones, one must either be incredibly lucky or have killed a large number of monsters.
Otherwise, it’s impossible to obtain so many super Source stones!
"Heavens, the super Source stones are so beautiful, I love them!"
"I really want one!"
"Hmph, Waldo is too arrogant! Isn’t this a provocation? He’s even posting photos of the super Source stones? This is outright playing with fire. Sooner or later, it will backfire, and he will deserve his fate!"
"This is a challenge! A challenge!"
"Seeking death? Good, very good, then I shall fulfill your wish!"
At this moment, countless trialists were seething with anger. This Waldo was too disrespectful. His actions were no different from declaring war on them. If they weren’t so far away, they would have already taken Waldo’s head.
