Watching Kingpin gradually get swallowed by the swarm.
Noah's expression remained calm.
Perhaps he really was a madman.
Thinking carefully about it.
How many people had he killed today? And in the past... how many had he killed?
Yet at this moment, not the slightest ripple stirred in his heart.
Was it because he had not personally killed most of those people?
That was nothing but self-deceptive nonsense.
But he had relaxed, because he had passed The Ancient One's test!
All along, The Ancient One had been like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.
She possessed the Time Stone, a terrifying existence capable of seeing through the past and future.
Even if she had not noticed before, after he had just killed so many people, she should have noticed by now.
Perhaps it was because everything that existed had a reason to exist?
Or perhaps because she had judged that Noah would not destroy Earth?
In any case, The Ancient One had made her judgment.
Now he could rest easy.
This world had truly accepted him, and he had truly accepted this world as well.
The sea of insects quickly vanished beneath the ground.
The countless bioweapons dispersed in every direction.
Not a single corpse remained on the ground. Only traces of blood proved that a great battle had taken place here.
Other than several large holes in the ground, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
And soon, even those holes were leveled out.
He was not worried that anyone would follow the remaining traces at the openings underground.
The area was covered in deep craters blasted out by bullets and explosions. There was no difference visible from the surface.
Even digging them up would be useless.
The Zerg nest lay nearly a hundred meters underground.
