Who knows how long it had been.
Zhou Huai's consciousness struggled to surface from a chaotic darkness.
He slowly opened his eyes.
What greeted him was the familiar bedroom ceiling.
He was still alive.
He looked around and found himself still lying in the bedroom of the Ye family villa.
Butler Fu was curled up in a chair by the bed, his head nodding, already asleep.
“Butler Fu...”
Zhou Huai tried to speak, but the sound that ca from his throat was as hoarse as a broken bellows.
Butler Fu's body jolted, and he groggily opened his eyes.
His cloudy old eyes were bloodshot, showing deep exhaustion.
He turned to look at Zhou Huai, and the weariness on his face was instantly replaced by wild joy.
“Young Master! You’re finally awake!”
Butler Fu's voice was trembling.
“You scared this old servant to death!”
“I... what happened to ?”
Zhou Huai felt like his head was filled with paste.
“You had a high fever and were unconscious for two days and two nights!”
Butler Fu’s voice carried a hint of lingering fear.
“This old servant thought... thought you would never wake up again.”
Two days and two nights?
I actually slept for so long.
Zhou Huai suddenly understood, and then a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
He was a professional.
Even if he was only the weakest E-rank, his physical fitness, boosted by his attributes, far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Minor illnesses like colds and fevers had long been irrelevant to him.
But he had a fever.
This was not a good sign.
The rate of Soul power loss within his body was accelerating.
He calculated the ti.
Principal Lin Zhu and her group should have already returned to the Imperial Capital with the pendulum of life.
After the trouble in Donghai City was resolved.
He must go find Marshal Zhao and make him fulfill his promise.
“Young Master, you haven't eaten for almost three days.”
Butler Fu carefully brought over a bowl of warm rice porridge, its aroma wafting through the air.
“Have so porridge first, and take it easy.”
Zhou Huai nodded and took the porridge bowl.
The warm rice porridge slid into his stomach, and a warm current quickly spread throughout his limbs and bones.
He quickly finished the bowl of porridge, and a trace of color finally returned to his pale face.
His body felt much better.
“Butler Fu, how is... the situation in Donghai City now?”
He looked at Butler Fu and asked the question he cared about most.
Butler Fu’s face imdiately broke into a brilliant smile.
“Young Master, don’t worry!”
“The beast tide outside the city has basically retreated; there are only a few scattered exotic beasts still roaming the outer city.”
“Minister Li Gang is leading people out of the city to sweep them up!”
“Our Donghai City has been defended!”
Although he had expected it, when the news truly ca from Butler Fu’s mouth, Zhou Huai couldn’t help but smile.
It was defended.
That’s good.
Just then.
Butler Fu suddenly stepped back and bowed deeply to Zhou Huai in the wheelchair.
Zhou Huai was a little surprised.
“Butler Fu, what are you doing?”
Butler Fu raised his head, wiped his slightly red eyes with his rough sleeve, and his voice choked.
“Young Master, Donghai City owes so much to you this ti!”
“This old servant has heard that many incredible powerhouses appeared in the city this ti, and it was them who stood up again and again to fight against those powerful Hell-level monsters, allowing us to defend the city.”
Butler Fu’s voice was full of admiration and gratitude.
“Gandalf, Yaso, Xiang Yu, Zhuge Kongming...”
He recited the nas that resonated throughout the city, one by one.
“This old servant knows that they... they are all your Clones.”
“All of this is your credit.”
“Therefore, this old servant wants to thank you on behalf of the 300,000 surviving residents of Donghai City!”
“Young Master, you are the true hero of this city!”
At this point, Butler Fu couldn’t help but wipe away another tear.
His tone shifted, filled with heartache.
“But... but this old servant also feels for you.”
“All this credit is clearly yours, but the world will never know your na, Zhou Huai.”
“You almost lost your life for this city!”
Butler Fu was right.
When this storm subsided.
Gandalf would beco a rising star in the Great Xia Country, hailed as the hope for the future.
Yaso would beco the revered Sword God of countless professionals in Donghai City, and the legend of him slaying a Dragon with a single sword would be passed down forever.
Xiang Yu would beco synonymous with strength; the image of him tearing apart a Hell-level BOSS with his bare hands would beco a nightmare in the hearts of countless people.
Each of them would be the center of global attention, radiating imnse brilliance.
And he, Zhou Huai, was destined to {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} remain confined to this wheelchair, hidden behind the scenes.
All glory and praise would be unrelated to him.
This was unavoidable.
Who made his main body just a powerless E-rank Clone Master?
Once exposed, he would undoubtedly face the fate of being dissected and studied.
After all, soone who could create so many powerful Clones was an anomaly in itself.
Zhou Huai looked at the tearful Butler Fu, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He reached out and gently patted Butler Fu’s shoulder, a faint smile on his face.
“Butler Fu, I don’t care about those empty titles.”
“Anyway, they are all .”
“It doesn’t matter.”
He comforted Butler Fu for a few monts.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
His consciousness receded like a tide... When his consciousness beca clear again, Zhou Huai was already inside Yaso’s body.
The wind howled in his ears.
He floated a hundred ters in the sky, overlooking the scarred land below.
The city was like the remains gnawed by a giant beast, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, a scene of desolation.
Countless huge craters, like ugly scars, were etched upon this land.
He was flying unhurriedly towards Donghai City.
And below him.
Amidst the chaotic ruins, a burly figure was moving slowly with heavy steps.
It was Xiang Yu.
His colossal body, comparable to a demon god, had returned to human size.
But behind him, he dragged a terrifying corpse dozens of tis larger than himself.
The Rock Spirit Giant Serpent.
That once arrogant Hell-level BOSS was now lifeless.
Its massive serpent body was covered in dense, hideous wounds, and its dark green blood had almost completely drained away.
Xiang Yu, like a tireless laborer, clutched the giant serpent’s tail with both hands, leaving deep furrows in the shattered earth with every step.
Through the mories shared by Yaso’s AI core.
Zhou Huai learned the entire capture process of the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent.
This Hell-level BOSS was exceptionally cunning.
Even if Yaso and Moria knew its exact location, it would have been difficult to catch it.
It was only by Xiang Yu activating his demon god form directly inside its body, transforming into a giant over twenty ters tall, that he managed to forcefully halt the giant serpent’s advance.
Finally, it was killed with great difficulty using the Zhen Tian Seal.
And Moria, in so unknown corner, quietly died once more.
Now, of the three Hell-level BOSSes, two were dead and one had fled.
Donghai City’s crisis was completely resolved.
Zhou Huai controlled Yaso, his gaze sweeping over the scarred ruins below.
The war was won.
But this city was also almost completely destroyed.
It would be impossible for it to return to its forr prosperity without three to five years.
At the sa ti, the System’s notification sound rang out at the opportune mont.
