Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 811: War God 587!_2

"I wonder if he and our War God will have a chance to meet?"

The people in the convoy let their imaginations run wild.

"As long as we keep winning, they should eventually meet, right? After all, this competition isn't just about selecting leaders for each region; it also aims to choose representatives for the alliance's Supreme Council. Each regional leader has to continue competing after their initial victory. If Blackwater City keeps winning, the chances of encountering our capital city are pretty high."

"It's just uncertain if Mr. Bai and the War God will take action. But if it really comes to that, perhaps the two of them will want to have a go against each other as well?"

"Unbelievable..." A courier team member commented with a strange expression, "I never thought there'd be a day where anyone would even question whether the War God could defeat his opponent..."

While the squad chatted, the voice of the Deputy Marshal of the capital's Military Department suddenly came through their earpieces, "What's going on over there?"

The courier captain immediately snapped to attention and replied quickly, "Nothing major, just some troublemakers causing a ruckus. The situation has been handled."

"That's good." The Deputy Marshal's voice visibly relaxed, "A big shot is here on my side—don't let anything go wrong."

"A big shot?" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Don't ask too many questions. Just focus on safely bringing the group here."

The brief communication ended, leaving the people inside the vehicle exchanging puzzled looks. The answer was nearly self-evident.

To the Deputy Marshal, there was only one person who could be regarded as a "big shot" above all others...

Sure enough, as the convoy slowly advanced on the cobblestone road, the central figure at the end of the road—a man with golden hair and a brilliant smile—stood quietly waiting.

Even just standing there, he radiated an aura of vast, profound vitality.

Under the powerful life force he emanated, it felt as though everyone nearby was equally invigorated, their blood enriched with energy.

Those within a certain range of Bai E's presence even felt their blood circulation speed up noticeably, with their physical attributes subtly enhanced—a sensation reminiscent of their own "Spiritual Energy Banner" effect.

It was unclear whether the man's abilities stemmed from spiritual energy manipulation or some other unique trait.

Regardless, Bai E's gaze immediately locked onto him—an individual who, no matter how crowded the scene, would undoubtedly draw everyone's attention at first glance.

In truth, it wasn't just him. The entire Blackwater City squad following Bai E also instinctively turned their eyes toward the man as soon as they saw him.

And this effect rippled outward with the man's arrival, drawing countless others from far-off regions and neighboring cities to focus on the same direction.

A collective realization took shape in everyone's mind: "That's… the War God?!"

Soon after, a heartfelt shock spread like a contagious wave: "The War God actually appeared here?"

"After all this time, when has the War God ever appeared to greet a visitor from any city?"

"Exactly—just a few days ago, even the representatives from Demon Spirit City and Tech City didn't manage to bring out this illustrious figure. What in the world is so special about this new group?!"

No one knew.

All anyone saw was a group of warriors clad in identical black uniforms stepping down from the newly arrived convoy.

Leading them was an inconspicuous man calmly following the courier squad assigned to guide them.

"You've all worked hard. After your long journey, you must be tired. We've prepared hot water and food in the rest area for you—please take some time to relax and refresh." The Deputy Marshal greeted warmly as the primary host.

Yet the golden-haired man, the center of attention, simply stood quietly to one side, his face full of a gentle smile as he fixed his gaze on the squad's leader approaching from the convoy.

The two stared at each other silently, exchanging no words.

The slightly suffocating atmosphere quelled anyone's urge to speak.

Until, moments later, they both broke into easy smiles at the same time. The golden-haired man nodded amicably toward Bai E and said, "Stay a few extra days here in the capital this time. I'll show you some of our unique sights."

His voice was warm and steady, with a hint of simplicity, but it carried a genuine and sincere tone.

"I'll try." Bai E cautiously replied, "There's a pile of problems waiting back home, so I can't stay away for too long."

"True." The golden-haired man nodded regretfully, "For people like us, it's hard to leave our cities for long. Honestly, this time, I wanted to accompany them to visit your Blackwater City, but... they wouldn't allow me to go."

His regret was palpable, clear for all to hear.

A fellow human capable of single-handedly eradicating a nest of mutant creatures!

One could only imagine how thrilled he felt at the emergence of someone like Bai E.

Only the man who had been elevated to the position of a "god" could truly understand the unbearable isolation of being at such heights.

If he were only slightly better than others, it might not be so bad. But beneath him, there was a chasm—a stark, unbridgeable gap.

Such expectations weighed heavily even when distributed among many, making everyone involved feel the immense pressure.

Yet now, that weight rested solely on him—a burden like a mountain, leaving him struggling to breathe.

And now, in this world emerged another individual capable of doing what even he could not!

This might mean he was no longer the sole "freak" detached from the group.

At the very least, there were now two "freaks" in this world.

"There'll be opportunities, when the world finally finds peace." Bai E smiled warmly.

Since ascending to the position of city leader, he was no longer shy about expressing his emotions.

"When the time comes, come to Blackwater City—I'll treat you to the finest wine."

"Will that day ever come?" The golden-haired man's gaze turned uncertain, "To be honest, I can't foresee when such a day might arrive."

As the most genetically optimized human, his intelligence was also unparalleled among humankind.

Perhaps due to his personality, his sharp intellect hadn't turned his mind cold or calculating.

Still, he could see farther ahead than most when it came to the development of many situations.

Take this alliance, for example.

Although he had spearheaded its formation, he harbored little optimism about the role the various regions would play in reclaiming humanity's sovereignty.

But… this was something that had to be done!

If it couldn't be accomplished in this generation, at least they could leave a chance—a seed—for the future.

As long as someone kept doing it, kept moving forward, the day he longed for would surely come to pass.

The only tragedy was that he might not live to see it himself.

The man's genuine melancholy was almost tangible, easily resonating with those around him.

"It won't be like that." Bai E shook his head, his gaze firm, "I promise you—that day will come, and it will come soon."

And suddenly, the golden-haired man broke into an unguarded, joyous smile, like an innocent boy, "I believe you."

"War God..." The Deputy Marshal coughed awkwardly from the side.

The overly unabashed behavior of their War God often made things difficult for the capital city when entrusting him with major duties.

"Our guests have come a long way—they must be tired."

Moreover, the War God's unexpected appearance had drawn unusual levels of attention from nearby cities.

This heightened focus might not be entirely beneficial for the newly arrived Blackwater City squad.

Insufficient strength coupled with excessive scrutiny could lead to catastrophic consequences.

According to the intel, Blackwater City had Bai E as their general, but only Bai E.

With five individual matches and one team match ahead, no matter how strong Bai E was, he could guarantee victory in only one event.

If someone of such caliber were to fall during the preliminary round… Blackwater City might have no choice but to consider relocating Bai E to the capital.
