yes, sir.”
The powerhouses gathered inside the main hall dispersed with his order. Only a few stayed in the main hall, including James, the
city lord, and another woman wearing a red dress.
The man in the red robe looked at James, sitting in the highest seat. He clasped his hands and said, “My name is Jarvis
Wagnon. May I ask if your name, Sir?”
“James Caden,” James replied calmly.
“James Caden?” Jarvis frowned. He searched his memories but could not recall a powerhouse with such a name in Taerl City.
“What’s with the monsters outside the city?” asked James.
He had to understand the origins of the monsters to complete the trial.
Jarvis’ doubtful expression grew more evident.
James coughed awkwardly a few times and said, “I’ve been in seclusion for some time and am not aware of the situation since
I’ve only just left it.”
“I see.” Jarvis was convinced. He quickly explained,” Everything started one entrapoch ago.”
“Go on.” James nodded lightly and listened attentively.
An entrapoch was a measurement of time.
An epoch was 4.9 billion years, whereas 490,000 epochs were called an entrapoch.
“An entrapoch ago, monsters spread around the Endlos Void and attacked the various major universes.
“Since they appeared, many universes were destroyed, and many lives were lost. The universe we live in has always been
peaceful because of a peerless powerhouse residing here.
“However, an even more powerful monster appeared in the Endlos Void, and he was dispatched to the frontline to take it down.
As a result, these monsters seized the chance to invade our universe.”
“Taerl City is the last place still standing in this universe. The monsters have already destroyed the other cities.”
Jarvis briefly explained the monster’s invasion. However, he was unaware of their origin. His current strength did not allow him to
get in touch with such secrets yet.
Hearing this, James frowned.
He remembered Zeno mentioning that the Endlos owed their peace to Emperor Raiah.
James pondered, ‘Could it be this era was before the establishment of the Endlos’ Ten Districts? Still, this is supposed to be a
projected illusion left behind by the
founder of the Verde Academy. Is it possible he was from this era and participated in the battle against these monsters?’
James had many questions on his mind. However, all of them were only his suspicions. Nobody knew whether this event had
happened in history.
Perhaps it was just an imaginary world.
With James’ strength, he could also create an imaginary world with living beings who were completely unaware they were not
real.
“Mr. James, are you capable of saving Taerl City?” Jarvis looked at James expectantly.
“I’ll do my best.”
James lacked confidence since he did not know whether there were powerhouses amongst the monsters. If none of them had a
consciousness of their own, then he could easily kill them. However, James knew things could not be so simple. He could sense
a mysterious force controlling these monsters from the dark.
Now, he had to understand the strengths of Taerl City and utilize them reasonably to complete his trial.
