Chapter 1339: Outcome
After every member of the Burning Legion withdrew from the Earth Defense Force, the mission completion rate suddenly surged to 80%, almost exactly as Xiao Ran had expected.
An 80% completion rate might already have been considered very high for other participants, and the further one progressed, the harder it became to improve. But to Xiao Ran, 80% was still failing. In his view, the remaining 20% was not a problem at all.
Once all four Steel Dragon Squad warships had been fully modified and the entire squad's units upgraded, the completion rate would likely rise by a small amount again. In military terms, it might reach as high as 85%.
As for the other aspect—civilian life and development—it would not be difficult to push it above 90% with a little more effort. However, Xiao Ran estimated that if the Gate of Sealing were completely destroyed as well, the mission completion rate would probably exceed 100%, reaching 120% or even higher.
But Xiao Ran had no intention of touching the Gate of Sealing. At this point, obtaining the Ultimate Mission Card was already certain beyond any doubt. He would inevitably return to this world in the future, perhaps even turn it into the Burning Legion's Faction Territory. Moreover, the Gate of Sealing had another use for him.

One theory held that because Gransam had been fitted with the Relative Annihilation Engine, which could interfere with singularities, Earth had suffered a succession of completely inexplicable coincidences. It had
