Chapter 480: System Announcement - The Final Task

Due to his highly concentrated spirit, it wasn’t long before his face turned pale, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

Ultimately, when his focus returned to the conjecture that Waldo had killed Alfred and the three-eyed natives, he couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably, feeling ice-cold in his hands and feet...

"Could it be that Waldo really killed Alfred, including those two three-eyed natives? And Waldo, has he achieved a perfectly transformed immortal body?"

The trialist breathed rapidly, his pupils filled with bloodshot, he took a deep breath, and muttered to himself.

"There’s only this one possibility, all other conjectures can’t explain it, they are full of contradictions, only this possibility... Waldo perfectly transformed into an immortal body!"

He took a deep breath.

He released his conjecture.

At the same time, he was taken aback.

It turned out that before him, other trialists had also guessed that Waldo was a third-level trialist who had achieved the perfect transformation into an immortal body, causing an earthquake.

He had been so immersed in his conjectures that he hadn’t noticed this!

"It’s true, others have guessed the same..."

The trialist gave a bitter smile, his last hope completely shattered.

What a shocking news this was!

...

"Hiss! I can’t believe it, Waldo has actually perfectly transformed into an immortal body, this is even rarer than a fourth-level trialist! Fourth-level trialists... anyone can become one if they reach level four, but those who perfectly transform into an immortal body are truly rare!"

"Outrageous! Too outrageous! I said it, Waldo was the first trialist initially, and then he suddenly went silent, it was too strange. Others have reached level four, and he had just reached level three... Now it seems, Waldo had a grand scheme!"

"Truly worthy of being the once number one trialist, powerful in strength, and his goals are beyond our reach!"

"I was wondering why he was so indifferent to Alfred’s threats before, even daring to scold Alfred... Turns out he had the confidence."

"Speaking of which, Alfred’s death was quite unjust. A formidable fourth-level trialist, dead just like that, cluelessly!"

"If you ask me, none of us present can be completely dissociated from Alfred’s death!"

"Hahaha! Speaking of which, is a third-level trialist with a perfectly transformed immortal body really that powerful? Can they fight above their level?"

"Isn’t the answer obvious? Alfred is dead, the fourth-level three-eyed natives are dead too..."

"It seems so..."

The trialists were engaged in a heated discussion.

There was also a trialist who said sourly, "He’s only third-level now, and it will only get harder to level up. Perfect transformation seems very strong with a high ceiling, but clearly, the cost of reaching the end is extremely terrifying, and the resources needed are extremely daunting. It’s still hard to say how far Waldo can go..."

...

No matter what others discussed, Waldo didn’t care.

He also didn’t pay attention to what other trialists were saying in the chat channel.

His goal had already been achieved.

Moreover, his true combat power had been revealed to everyone.

Presumably, for a long time to come, no trialist would challenge him again.

For Waldo, this had its pros and cons.

The pro was that Waldo finally had peace, no more incessant barking around him!

The con was that no more short-sighted people would bring him super Source stones.

From now on, if he needed super Source stones, he would have to hunt monsters himself.

"Fortunately, I scavenged thirty-seven super Source stones from Alfred and the other six trialists, plus the previous one hundred and nineteen, making a total of one hundred and fifty-six!"

On the summit of a mountain, fierce winds howled.

Huge rocks were swept up by the wind, scattering all over.

The mountain top was barren, not a blade of grass in sight.

Atop the mountain, a figure sat motionless.

The fierce wind howled beside him.

However, as soon as the wind, sharp like a knife and capable of carrying hundred-pound boulders, entered within a ten-meter radius around him, it seemed as if it had entered a very special force field.

The moment it entered, it dissipated without a trace!

It was very peculiar!

Not only that, but the figure’s surface constantly emitted a golden glow.

Mixed within the gold were hints of purple, divine and extraordinary.

The light was dazzling and bright, piercing through the immensely thick night, illuminating everything around.

It also radiated a warmth, engaging in an intense clash with the coldness of the dark land!

Waldo’s face showed a hint of a smile, his eyes twinkling with light, looking quite exceptional.

At this moment, he was in a very good mood.

"Just four more super Source stones, and I can successfully advance to a fourth-level trialist!"

"Hahaha, my pace is quite fast! If it weren’t for those shortsighted fools who kept coming to their deaths, I wouldn’t know how long it would take to accumulate them!"

"But, there’s still a huge threat!"

"The mysterious and unknown master of the three-eyed natives..."

"I wonder what kind of strength that master has."

"To command such respect, even fear, from two fourth-level three-eyed natives, they must be at least a fifth-level being, right?"

If it was a fifth-level native, then Waldo would have to become a fourth-level trialist at least.

He needed to collect super Source stones quickly!

However, the turn of events was beyond Waldo’s expectations.

Just as he was preparing to set out in search of super Source stones, the system suddenly issued an announcement.

[Due to trialist Waldo’s killing of the subordinate of the three-eyed divine race member Liuli, the three-eyed divine race Liuli is furious. Now, the system officially announces the final task of the Dark Land: all trialists must unite to resist the invasion of the three-eyed divine race Liuli!]

[In the face of Liuli’s slaughter, if the trialists can successfully hold out until the end of the trial period, they will be victorious. Rewards will be distributed according to contributions at that time!]

[If the trialists are unable to resist the slaughter of the three-eyed divine race Liuli, naturally, Liuli will be victorious, and he will receive the assessment reward!]

[All trialists please prepare yourselves to resist the slaughter of the three-eyed divine race Liuli!]

[Please note, Liuli’s fury is not just aimed at Waldo, but at all trialists. No trialist can remain uninvolved! The three-eyed divine race is immensely powerful, all trialists must unite!]

[The three-eyed divine race Liuli, possessing a legitimate divine race lineage, has extraordinary talent. As a fifth-level divine being, his strength is comparable to a sixth-level demon...]

[...]

...

The system’s announcement manifested as a series of menacing, immensely heavy characters, appearing in the sight of every trialist.

These announcement texts, like thunderbolts, exploded in the minds of each trialist.

Many trialists were first startled.

Then came shock!

And finally, it turned into panic and disarray!
