The war against Honkai had begun.
The most dangerous place—where a breach would directly plunge the Singularity into irreversible collapse, allowing everything within to be devoured by Honkai—was being held back by the strongest Grand Assassin, King Hassan, all by himself.
This was no longer a case of one man holding off ten thousand. He was standing right at the enemy's portal and slaughtering them as they came through.
Huen-Highmountain, the beast-player controller, said he was familiar with this tactic.
The tolling of death meant that Honkai's attempt to coordinate an attack from within and without had been blocked on the outside. Now, only the "within" remained.
However, at this moment, people suddenly realized that perhaps King Hassan had foreseen this situation long ago.
"Could it be that King Hassan knew something like this would happen from the very beginning?"
"Uh, would he? This change seemed completely accidental, didn't it?"
"It was an accident, sure, but think about it—how many powerful people capable of seeing the future have appeared in the Light Screen footage by now?"
"Right! Not to mention, this Singularity itself was created through the joint efforts of Ramses II, the King of Heroes, and the others!"
"Damn~~ That's true. King Hassan worked with Ramses II and the rest."
"Wait, isn't King Hassan's current position the same place where he first appeared in this Singularity, and where he's been guarding all along?"
"WTF!? Right, that's exactly it! The First Hassan has been in this place the entire time!"
"So that's how it is. We thought King Hassan was merely guarding against the beasts coming through the rifts, but now it seems he had always been guarding the passage directly facing Honkai!"
"Exactly, exactly. Although those mutated beasts are powerful, honestly, they're only at the level of ferocious beasts.
