Time flowed like water.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
After the battle at the Virtual Arena, everyone on the Divine Throne Continent wondered whether the Tyrant would strike again. Given his strength, coming out of seclusion only to seize three strategic sites seemed far too modest an appetite.
