On the huge screen at the Spirit Tamer Alliance's global headquarters, the blood-red announcement burned on everyone's retinas like a soldering iron.
"God-Class Boss will come."
There was silence in the entire hall.
Just now, people were still immersed in the joy of victory. In a blink of an eye,
"God...God-Class Boss?"
Someone repeated these three words with trembling lips.
"Did I hear the announcement just now correctly?"
"That's crazy. We just finished a fucking world war and now we're going to give you the final battle?!"
"Version update, what do you mean?!"
"The house I just bought won't be gone tomorrow, right?"
"World-Class Wanted Boss is almost invincible. What kind of strength is God-Class Boss??"
"Stop talking, my legs are weak."
"God-Class Boss? It sounds like a bluff. How can there be such a BOSS?"
"But the version update and the vision of time acceleration just now are not fake!!"
"..."
Similar scenes are playing out in every corner of the world.
People were so shocked by the series of events that they were talking about all kinds of things.
A young man murmured, "Those World-Class Wanted Boss just now almost wiped out all of us, now what about a more advanced one?"
The middle-aged man next to him gave a wry smile, "At least I'm prepared this time and won't be attacked suddenly like last time."
"Prepare? What can we prepare?!"
"At least... at least we have senior Xia Yuan."
This sentence was like a reassurance, making the people around him calm down a little.
"Yes! Senior Xia Yuan is here."
"MR Contract Spirit is also open, and we have new power."
"But God-Class Boss... what is that concept?"
"I don't know, but senior Xia Yuan said we can win, so we will definitely win."
"You are blindly worshiping..."
"How about you find someone more reliable than him?"
"This... this is a little difficult..."
"Just know."
"..."
Regardless of whether people accept it or not, time has come a hundred years later, and what is ushering in at this moment is Faith Version from God-Class Boss.
Humanity needs to endure the advent of God-Class Boss in order to continue to survive.
One hour later.
The global high-level response meeting has officially begun.
This is no ordinary meeting.
On the video connection screen, densely packed images almost covered the entire wall.
Great Xia's Zhao Wenguo, United States's Nick, Europe Alliance's...
Each name represents the top decision-making power of mankind.
In the center of the screen is Xia Yuan.
He was sitting in front of the conference table, leaning on his chair, still looking calm and relaxed, and even had time to joke around.
This picture can be described as: Mount Tai collapses in front but its color remains unchanged, and the elk thrives on the left but its eyes cannot blink.
Beside him, Mo Shiyu clasped his hands, his eyes firm as if he was deciding life or death.
In the screen, several other UR Contract Spirits are also connected one after another, Kuang Lan, Feng Luan, Haotian, Undying Hero, M Superman...
Although Doctor and others have fallen, the surviving high-level combat forces are still the backbone of human civilization.
As soon as the meeting began, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Everyone, I believe everyone has seen the global announcement." Zhao Wenguo was the first to speak:
"The arrival of God-Class Boss is a foregone conclusion. Currently we have three confirmed information."
He paused, "First, God-Class Boss's level is far higher than World-Class Wanted Boss."
"Second, Contract Spirit has opened the MR promotion channel; third, the monster side has also opened the channel to God-Class Boss."
The commander of Europe took over, "The problem is, we don't know how strong God-Class Boss is."
Nick answered, "World-Class Wanted Boss is already that strong, god level... what is the concept of that?"
"According to the intelligence collected previously, there are currently three almost certain existences." Representative Subcontinent said slowly:
"Princess and Saintess, as well as the Black Shadow that appears in Kunlun University, are basically God-Class Boss."
There was a commotion on the screen.
"Princess? Is that the existence of senior Rain God who can instantly kill you with one move?"
"Saintess, is that the name mentioned in the prophecy?"
"Black Shadow...Kunlun University That Black Shadow?"
"These three are all god-level?!"
"God-Class Boss If the strength is the same as that of gods, then how can we defeat them??"
"Based on the current intelligence, UR Contract Spirit is no match at all. Even the clone of senior Xia Yuan..."
"And Prophet has definitely dissipated, and no one can point us in the direction."
"No matter how you look at it, it is overwhelmingly detrimental to mankind!!"
"..."
There was an oppressive fear in the conference room.
At this moment, Xia Yuan spoke, "God-Class Boss is indeed very strong."
Everyone fell silent instantly and focused on him.
Xia Yuan leaned back in the chair, his brown eyes calmly scanning every face on the screen.
"But God-Class Boss is not invincible."
These words were like a bolt of lightning that broke through the haze in the conference room.
"MR Contract Spirit exists to defeat God-Class Boss."
Xia Yuan stated the main point in a calm tone, "Both the monster and Contract Spirit have been strengthened, which is fair."
He smiled slightly, "Since we have been given a promotion path, it means that this is an evenly matched battle."
The picture on the screen was silent.
Then, Kuang Lan's voice came from the connection. "On this point, I think Xia Yuan is right."
"If God-Class Boss is really invincible, then there is no need for the system to open the MR channel."
"That's right! We have been fighting, now we just have a stronger opponent!!" Undying Hero's voice followed closely.
"Xia Yuan seniors have said so, so there must be no problem!" someone whispered.
"Yes! Senior Xia Yuan has never let us down!"
"Since MR Contract Spirit exists to defeat God-Class Boss, then we will promote MR Contract Spirit!"
"What are you afraid of? Just do it and it's over!"
The atmosphere in the conference room turned from fear to fighting spirit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Wenguo looked at this scene and sighed in his heart.
This is the influence of Xia Yuan.
There is no need for impassioned speeches or drawing a pie.
All it takes is "can beat" to rekindle the fighting spirit of these top human beings.
Because what he said has never failed.
Zhao Wenguo said in a deep voice, "In this case, let's move on to the next topic, which Contract Spirit will be promoted to MR first."
As soon as this question was raised, the meeting room exploded.
"I recommend our United States's SSR Contract Spirit Steel Will! His defensive ability has been outstanding in all previous battles!"
"Europe recommends Holy Light User. His light attribute has natural restraint against dark monsters!"
"The strength of Crimson Flame Madblade in the south should not be underestimated!"
"And Frost Queen! Her field control ability is irreplaceable in team battles!"
"I think Thunderous War Spirit is more suitable..."
"No, no, no, Shadow Assassin's explosive power is the key..."
"Everyone, calm down!" Zhao Wenguo's voice overcame everyone's arguments.
He took a deep breath and said, "We need more professional advice. UR Contract Spirit, what are your suggestions?"
All eyes were once again focused on Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan did not hesitate and spoke directly, "If you want to supplement your combat power, Su Yue's Copy Fairy is the first choice."
There was a burst of whispers from behind the screen.
"Copy Fairy? That SSR Contract Spirit?"
"Her core ability is Copy, right?"
Xia Yuan nodded. "The potential of Copy Fairy is that after the strength is improved, the Copy degree of my ability and form will be higher."
"If Copy Fairy is promoted to MR Contract Spirit, with my form, the increase in combat power will be the largest."
"Not to mention that it can fight against God-Class Boss, but there is no problem against World-Class Wanted Boss."
He paused, "Secondly, Demon Blade Princess from Luo Ziyan."
"Demon Blade Princess?"
"Perseverance, Diligence is motivated, and has a strong character." Xia Yuan said with a hint of approval in his tone:
"She is one of the most perseverant Contract Spirits I have ever seen. This kind of character is crucial in the most cruel battlefield."
Immediately, Kuang Lan and M Superman also recommended SSR Contract Spirit that they thought was suitable.
As for SR Contract Spirit, it is not qualified to be nominated at all. After all, the mechanism and numerical values of SR Contract Spirit are inherently inferior to SSR Contract Spirit.
The number of World-Class Wanted Boss hearts is limited and must be used on the optimal Contract Spirit.
After many names were mentioned on the screen, the results came soon.
Then, Zhao Wenguo nodded slowly. "We will adopt UR Contract Spirit's suggestion."
"Agree."
"I have no objection."
"Copy Fairy and Demon Blade Princess are indeed the right candidates."
As for the original UR Contract Spirit, according to the rules of the new world, it has been automatically promoted to MR Contract Spirit.
This level that once only existed in legends is now finally coming to the world.
The top management issued an order, "Promotion work will begin immediately."
"Yes!"
At the same time, efforts to strengthen control and appease the masses are underway in various places.
Next, the whole world entered a strange state of frenzy.
Spirit Tamer Alliance Headquarters building is brightly lit and operates 24 hours a day.
Promotion ceremonies took place one after another, and announcements from MR Contract Spirit popped up on global channels one after another.
[Congratulations to Contract Spirit Master Su Yue, Contract Spirit SSR Copy Fairy for being promoted to MR Contract Spirit!]
[Congratulations to Contract Spirit Master Luo Ziyan, Contract Spirit SSR Demon Blade Princess for being promoted to MR Contract Spirit!]
[Congratulations to Contract Spirit Master...]
Every announcement is accompanied by cheers and shouts from audiences around the world.
People gradually cheered up from the initial fear.
The existence of MR Contract Spirit gave them hope.
The existence of Xia Yuan makes them believe in victory.
On the Spirit Tamer Alliance training ground, the promoted Contract Spirits are training like crazy.
Copy Fairy Su Yue stood in the center of the field, surrounded by several phantoms of different shapes.
That's the fighting posture formed by her Copy Xia Yuan various forms.
"Not enough!" She gritted her teeth, her clothes soaked with sweat:
"Senior Xia Yuan's War Princess form must last for at least one minute!"
Demon Blade Princess was wielding a knife on the side, each knife carrying a fierce evil aura.
"Ten million and three hundred and seventy-seven..." She muttered and counted, her arms had lost consciousness, but she still didn't stop.
"MR Contract Spirit is not the end, it is the starting point." Demon Blade Princess's eyes were burning with fire:
"To stand in front of God-Class Boss... my current strength is not enough!"
Other Contract Spirit are also improving crazily in training, research, and actual combat simulations.
Some people are learning new skill combinations, some are honing their combat instincts, and some are studying monsters' weakness data.
"In order to protect the commander, I must become stronger!"
"If you are useless after losing the title of the strongest Contract Spirit, then you are nothing."
"The strongest is not a false name, Judgment Mech, turn on the maximum output power!!!"
"If everything is over, I want to have a journey with Commander across the world from early morning to dusk, and I want to keep walking with you, Shear Oneself into a Butterfly!!!"
"All the lights in the sky are stars, and all the lights on the sea are enemies... Commander, will there really be a day when there will be no struggle?"
"In good condition, let's go. Javelin, attack with all your strength!"
"I will protect you, even if it costs my life. Commander, let us regain the ground together!"
"We are the Goddess Force of Humanity's Hope... Answer me, Commander, are we Goddess of Victory?"
"Are you...Lucia or Lunicia??"
"..."
The whole world is filled with an aura of preparation for war.
And the monsters are not idle either.
Deep Sea Somewhere, a huge beast swallowed a dark yellow bead named Heart of Requiem.
Its body began to expand violently, the lines on its carapace glowed with a strange golden light, and its aura was rising steadily.
"Roar!!"
A roar came from the Deep Sea, and the new World-Class Wanted Boss was born.
Similar scenes are happening simultaneously in hidden corners around the world.
Monsters are also being promoted crazily, filling the position of World-Class Wanted Boss that was previously vacated by Xia Yuan.
This is an arms race.
Humans are working hard to become stronger, and monsters are also working hard to become stronger.
But this time, no one backed down.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
The door of the conference room slowly closed, and after the last group of non-core personnel left, only a few commanders and MR Contract Spirit were left in the room.
This is the highest level combat meeting of mankind.
Zhao Wenguo put a document Projection on the big screen, "According to the intelligence summary, the trajectories of the three God-Class Boss have been basically clear."
Three blurry images appeared on the screen.
The first picture shows the figure of a girl in ancient costume, marked: Princess.
"Princess, the aura is currently moving in the direction of Great Xia."
The intelligence officer's voice sounded, "Based on what she said before, the target is probably Great Xia."
The second picture is a piece of golden light, marked: Saintess.
"The aura of Saintess has spread within the territory of Europe Alliance. Landing is a matter of time."
The third picture is a dark figure, marked: Black Shadow.
"The whereabouts of Black Shadow, who briefly appeared in Kunlun University, are currently unknown, but it is judged based on what happened to the clone of senior Xia Yuan."
"Its target is probably... also senior Xia Yuan."
The conference room was quiet for a moment.
Two God-Class Boss point to Xia Yuan.
Zhao Wenguo spoke slowly, "If nothing else, the locations of the battles are Europe and the other is Great Xia."
He glanced at everyone present. "MR Contract Spirit's layout, do you have any suggestions?"
"I'll go to Europe, Saintess, and I'll block you." Kuang Lan was the first to speak.
"I'll go too Europe, two people are more reliable than one." Undying Hero stood up.
Feng Luan's eyes fell on Xia Yuan, "Great Xia, you, me, Haotian, that's enough."
"The others serve as the second echelon and can be flexibly dispatched according to the battle situation." Nick added.
The layout was quickly decided upon.
Kuang Lan and Undying Hero guard Europe and fight against Saintess.
Xia Yuan, Feng Luan, and Haotian leave behind Great Xia to fight Princess and Black Shadow.
M Superman is in charge of United States, ready to provide cross-continental support at any time.
The other MR Contract Spirit serve as a reserve team and can be flexibly deployed according to the battle situation.
At this moment, the girl who had been silent said, "I want to go to Great Xia."
Rain God suddenly said that he would take the initiative to invite Great Xia, which surprised many people.
Even if no one says it, everyone knows that Great Xia is the most dangerous area now, and the Rain God core has not yet fully recovered.
However, no one expressed opposition. Once Rain God made a decision, no one could change it.
After everyone discussed the details again, the meeting came to an end.
Zhao Wenguo stood up and glanced at everyone, "One month later, the decisive battle between humans and monsters will officially begin."
"No matter what the outcome is, we will fight until the last moment."
"For human civilization, for all the sacrificed companions, for... the living people."
The time came one month later.
August 20th.
The early morning sun shines on Spirit Tamer Great Wall, and the golden brilliance illuminates this majestic building like a miracle.
Beyond the Great Wall is endless wilderness.
Within the Great Wall are the homes of tens of millions of people.
Xia Yuan stood at the highest point of the Great Wall, his long black hair fluttering slightly in the morning breeze, and his blue robe stretched out.
Behind him, countless eyes gathered.
"Go, Xia Yuan-senpai!"
"We must win, Xia Yuan-senpai!"
"Humanity's strongest Contract Spirit, please!"
"Senior Xia Yuan, we are waiting for you to come back!"
"You are the strongest! Always have been!"
"Kill those monsters!"
"For the sake of all those who sacrificed their lives, we must win!!"
"Xia Yuan-senpai!! Come on!!!"
"..."
Screams surged from the Great Wall like a tsunami, one wave higher than the next.
Xia Yuan did not look back, but slowly raised his right thumb and pointed at himself, "We will win."
Three simple words are more powerful than any grand words.
Then, he stepped forward and took one step Spirit Tamer Great Wall.
In the morning light, his figure was slender and tall, like an eternal monument.
On the distant horizon, a Black Shadow slowly emerged.
The figure had no features, no face, no outline, just like a cut-out piece of black night.
It stood there quietly, far away from Xia Yuan.
Two terrifying breaths collided in the wasteland, the air began to distort, and the light began to become misaligned.
The showdown between the strongest creature in history and the strongest creature in modern times has officially begun!
