Shin fell into deep thought as he looked at that black book. It was sothing else that a player below Tier 4 Class could lay their hands on. It might be a powerful item that could help soone propel to greater heights, but it ca with great cause.
On top of being too corrupted, this item, which was said to be a fragnt of a fallen god, could also attract the unnecessary attention of the Divine Beings at the upper plane once used.
Solus and Hanzo had seriously warned Shin to not touch that item unless he reached Tier 4 and beca an Enlightened Being. It was because only in this realm he could have a clear and uncorrupted mind that could withstand the temptations of wielding the Ancient Powers contained in the fragnt of a fallen god.
His power should also be enough to protect himself from any envoy that the Divine Beings would send to snatch the black book from his possession.
Even if he couldn’t defeat a Sovereign Being at that stage, which would most likely be the level of those envoys and also the limit of the lower plane, he should be able to run away from them with his strength at that ti when necessary.
Based on his assessnt, a player had to be at least at level 300 to reach that Tier, which was way too far for the current progress of the ga.

If soone started ssing with those Fallen God Fragnts, Shin could already tell how much of a disaster it could bring to everyone.
The threat of the invading Bug Tribe and the mysterious Abyss Brink was already troubleso, especially when the Corrupted Cult and Demonic Churches were also lurking in the shadows and bidding their ti. Inviting another disaster would only make the situation even worse.
Shin could only think that the people behind this incident were related to the Evil Faction, especially when those fragnts of the fallen gods could only cause negative results. After all, those people could not wait for the Atlas World to be destroyed and spread more chaos.
"Aside from that, I am also quite curious at how they have found the owners of those fragnts," mumbled Shin as he was more concerned about this matter. After all, he also possessed a fragnt with his inventory bag, so it was highly possible that he would beco their target in the future.
"Is it possible that they have a thod to locate the other fragnts? Or it can also be because they have inside information from those forces, which told them about the fragnt possessors," he tried to figure out their thods as hard as he could but quickly gave up after failing to do so for quite a while.
"Regardless, I will deal with them later if they try to co after ," he said with full confidence, especially when he had already morized their auras.
But that group of people would still be quite troubleso, especially if they did have a special thod to locate the other fragnts. After all, even Shin had a hard ti looking for clues about them. He had only found 2 clues about them even after such a long ti.
Especially when the two other fragnts related to the one in his possession were quite troubleso as well. One of them was in Hell, particularly in the territory of the Bug Tribe, while the other was on the other side of the dinsional crack in the depths of the Abyss Brink.
Thinking about this, Shin thought of another possibility. "There is also the chance that the other fragnts can sense one another, so long as they are a part of the whole."
"Maybe the reason why those guys are unable to sense mine is because what I have is a different set from theirs. But if that is the case, then how co those guys leading their forces are unable to sense the other party?"
Shin shook his head as he gave up on figuring it out before looking at the ongoing battle below. He slightly frowned his brows before glancing at the leaderboards at the corner of his eyes.
He found his ’na’ at the very top of the rankings, which signified that he was way ahead of the others, especially when his points were already at the 4 digits.
Killing Ken had earned himself a lot of points, especially when that guy was one of the main perpetrators of this plague event.
"Should I lend them a hand and steal the last hit for the chieftain-rank Plagued Monster while I’m at it, or should I head into the deeper parts of the Plagued Lands and farm for more points peacefully?" he mumbled as he looked at the chaotic battle.
There was also the choice of looking for the traces of the mysterious group and seeing what they were up to. But he quickly disregarded that thought as he did not have any clue where they ran off.

Real World.
Headquarters of the World Gaming Organizations.
Carlos headed to the office of the special task force specially monitoring all the Miracle Players as he had received a report regarding one of the players they keeping their eyes on.
It was said that this player and their group were collecting sothing that they shouldn’t be ssing with in the current stages of the ga.
The Monitoring Departnt was always having a headache when it ca to these bunch of players in the list as none of them could be understood with a normal mind as even the great AI ’Chronos’ was unable to figure them out.
None of them were following the ’script’ of the ga.
The most troubleso of the bunch was Battle God Sickarius, who never did anything normal; Sword God Zero, who was always exploring in-ga content that no one had ever found; Pandemonium’s Leader, Lucifer, who kept on dealing and contacting the Great Demon Kings; Lich God Immortal, who was ssing with the Forbidden; and Martial Go d Ashura, who was leading the God’s Paradise to explore the places that shouldn’t be explored.
There were also others on the list, but those guys were not doing sothing so ’destructive’ that could destroy the ongoing progress of the ga.
What was even more problematic, the list was getting even longer as those old gods started to get more active.
As for the new guy that was ntioned in the reports, it was soone who had been on the list of the Miracle Players for quite a while now.
But he had never been that active until recently when he had stumbled upon the Ancient Powers and the Fragnts of the Fallen Gods.
"How is the situation?" asked Carlos right after entering the monitoring room of the special task force.
"It is quite serious, Sir," answered Lohengrin before reporting. "They have already gotten their hand on seven fragnts. Even though only two of them are part of the sa set, the number of fragnts that they control is not sothing I think we can overlook."
"And the level of the fragnts and their previous owner?" asked Carlos with a frown.
"That is the only good news, Sir. All the Fallen God’s Fragnt they have are only at the entry-level," Lohengrin said before adding. "Fortunately, none of them are on Calamity Level just like what the ’Number One Problem Child’ that we have on the list."
The corner of Carlos’ mouth could not help but twitch when he heard about Shin. He did his best to suppress it before nodding his head. "I understand. Monitor this group closely, and report to as soon as they get their hands on anything at the higher level."
"I will inform the Developnt Departnt and ask them to prepare the release of any of the contents related to this as soon as possible."
"It is good that we have found out about this much earlier before things could even get worse," he added before sighing in relief. "I guess it is truly the right thing to build the Special Task Force, allowing us to respond much earlier."
He then paused as he glanced at the virtual screen, which was projecting Shin, before mumbling. "Let’s just hope our ’favorite’ child will not do anything crazy during this ti."
He was worried that Shin would ’co up’ with another way to ss with them during this ti.
After giving Shin one last look, Carlos turned around and left the monitoring room.
Lohengrin, on the other hand, gulped nervously as he watched his boss leave. "I just hope you didn’t jinx it, boss."
He then turned to the virtual screen projecting Shin and mumbled. "Among all the Miracle Players, this guy is the scariest."
Among all the Miracle Players, Shin was soone who had a lot of end-ga content in progress, so almost all the mbers of the special task force were quite scared of him.
They were scared that he would stumble upon another end-ga content and increase the load of their work.
