Chapter 450: 251 Time has come, the big number has arrived_2
However, Dean McKenzie did not choose to level up.
After slowly putting away his wooden sword, Dean McKenzie returned to the front line of defense.
Facing the fervent gazes of hundreds of thousands of warriors on the front line, Dean McKenzie asked, “Do you have any information about the Beast King here?”
As soon as Dean McKenzie asked this question, the hundreds of thousands of warriors on the front line fell silent instantly.
This silence lasted for a full two minutes, followed by a deafening cheer.
Everyone knew the purpose of Dean McKenzie asking this question.
After witnessing Dean McKenzie’s terrifying sword strike that decimated miles of the beast swarm, everyone realized, perhaps the endless beast swarm problem that has troubled humanity for hundreds of years is about to be solved.
No one believed that Dean McKenzie couldn’t kill the Beast King!
No one!
At this moment, Dean McKenzie was seen as an omnipotent deity in the eyes of all the warriors!
Amidst the short-lived cheers, Christian Hyde stood up, his face filled with fanaticism as he stared at Dean McKenzie.
“Lord God of War, I know where the Beast King’s lair is!”
“Good, let’s go. Let’s deal with it today!”
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie, along with Christian Hyde, left the front line of defense and went deep into the vast mountains.
They were gone for half a month.
The half-month-long lack of news had the entire human society on edge.
After all, this was the first time Dean McKenzie had left the human world, and his first opponent was the Beast King.
In fact, when Dean McKenzie made this decision, he did not notify the highest commander. The latter learned about it from the battle report on the front line defense.
When the highest commander received the news, he nearly went mad.
After all, in their original plan, the Beast King was essentially the most powerful boss-level presence.
It was something Dean McKenzie was supposed to confront after several more years of development.
However, unexpectedly, Dean McKenzie went alone.
What did this amount to?
It’s as if he had just finished the novice period, just left the newbie village, and challenged the final boss.
It’s not just a question of whether Dean McKenzie could succeed, the highest commander even worried whether he could come back alive.
He ordered more than once to have the front line defense find and retrieve him.
But the front line defense disregarded his orders.
From the front line defense’s viewpoint, what did the highest commander know about the God of War? He was invincible!
The highest commander was almost choked with anger.
However, the following facts proved that the frontline defense was right, Dean McKenzie really was unbeatable.
On the 16th day of Dean McKenzie’s departure, he came back with Christian Hyde carrying the corpse of the Beast King.
The moment Dean McKenzie returned to human society with the corpse of the Beast King, he was officially crowned as the God of War.
He accomplished what the old God of War had not, thoroughly dissipating the dark clouds that had hung over the human race for decades, even hundreds of years.
After the Beast King’s corpse was returned to human society, the entire human society celebrated for a full three days.
Dean McKenzie’s prestige reached its peak amid the celebration!
Just when everyone thought this was Dean McKenzie’s crowning moment, he told them this was not, this was just the beginning.
After killing the Beast King, Dean McKenzie announced a plan to all of humanity, a plan called Lost Lands Recovery.
Dean McKenzie wanted to reclaim the lands taken by the monsters, carving out a dazzling path for human society.
In the eyes of the highest commander and others, Dean McKenzie’s plan is extremely crazy.
Not that the plan won’t work, but that Dean McKenzie was rushing it.
This kind of thing should be discussed at length, done bit by bit over the course of years, or even decades.
But Dean McKenzie didn’t have the patience.
He wanted to carry it out immediately and completely reclaim the lost lands in a matter of months.
This kind of approach, the highest commander and the others would definitely not agree to.
It’s too risky, too crazy.
At this point, Dean McKenzie’s prestige in the human society had reached its peak, regardless of whether the top officials agreed or not.
Once Dean McKenzie spoke out, he received the full support of all human beings, and thus the counterattack began.
However, the so-called counterattack didn’t have any strength to draw upon from the human side.
Over the years, humans had constantly been on the defensive, barely holding the line, let alone launching a counterattack. The true power to counterattack lay solely with Dean McKenzie.
So, with a single sword, Dean McKenzie roamed the world on his own in the short span of three months.
Whenever he arrived at a place invaded by monsters, Dean McKenzie served a killing blow.
It seemed like there wasn’t a problem that couldn’t be solved with Dean McKenzie’s swift swordplay – If not, he would strike again!
In just three months, all the large groups of monsters in the original territory of human society were completely eradicated by Dean McKenzie.
Every day, huge amounts of battle loot were transported back to the human world.
In just three months, Dean McKenzie had earned back all the resources he had spent in the previous four and a half years, and even several hundred times more.
At this point, Dean McKenzie’s performance had far exceeded the top officials’ expectations of him.
Dean McKenzie accomplished in just a few short months what they thought he would need a lifetime to achieve.
This glorious feat was enough to make Dean McKenzie the greatest figure in human history in the current world.
Tens of thousands of statues had been erected in his honor in the human gatherings over these months.
Gathering Place 74, where Dean McKenzie originally resided, jumped to become the strongest gathering place next to Gathering Place 1. Dean McKenzie’s former school, neighborhood, the shops he visited, and everything related to him became popular.
Dean McKenzie himself was bestowed with countless titles.
His story was spread throughout the human world.
However, at the center of it all, Dean McKenzie did not stop his progress.
After regaining the lost territory, Dean McKenzie immediately set his sights on the King of the Nearby Seas.
He immediately began to research how he could bait out and kill this nearby sea king.
Dean McKenzie’s eagerness puzzled not only the top officials, but also Christian Hyde who had been following Dean McKenzie for the past few months.
“Sir, you need rest!
You haven’t slept for several months. You must rest now. The nearby sea king’s matter isn’t urgent, we can handle it after you’ve rested!”
“No!”
Dean McKenzie shook his head. Looking at Christian Hyde, he told the truth for the first time: “I don’t have much time left!”
Christian Hyde trembled, “What… What do you mean by that?”
Dean McKenzie calmly replied, “I am going to die soon. I have at most three months to live. I must clear as many obstacles for mankind as possible during this time!”
He was serious about this.
Although it was part of Dean McKenzie’s mission, he genuinely wanted to clear obstacles for mankind.
Even though he knew this was a secondary world, Dean McKenzie couldn’t truly see it as one.
After all, every person here was real and alive.
Dean McKenzie wasn’t sure if the world would continue to exist after his death, so he wanted to make sure he did everything he could to ensure survival for the people of this world, even without him.
Of course, this was also to complete his level-up mission.
At this moment, after completing the killing of the Beast King and reclaiming the lost ground, Dean McKenzie’s level had reached 80, but the highest level he could attain was now 160.
He was still 20 levels away from level 180!
Although the attributes of level 160 were formidable, Dean McKenzie was well aware of his main character’s power, so his confidence was non-existent without a level 180 boost.
Therefore!
“I must kill this Sea King!”
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie spent more than two full months. With the help of Christian Hyde, he finally lured and killed the King of the Nearby Seas.
[You have killed the [King of the Nearby Seas]. Your level can be upgraded for completing the Ocean Threat task. The current level-up limit is 180!]
Seeing this system prompts, Dean McKenzie finally smiled.
As he smiled, the sky and earth suddenly dimmed, and the original clear sky by Dean McKenzie’s side turned into an endless purgatory.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie knew his main character was coming.
And then, for the first time, Christian Hyde saw nervousness, solemnity, and even unrest on Dean McKenzie’s face…
