Chapter 1101 - Benefits after a Great War
The dissipation of the Evil Energy quickly attracted the attention of the independent players outside Stone Forest Town.
"What? Didn't they say that Evil Energy won't ever dissipate?"
"Based on the information I found, in order to remove Evil Energy, one needs to sever the source. Could Zero Wing have secretly dealt with the source already?"
"That's not right. The Evil Energy this time should have originated from Black Ridge Town. However, Black Ridge Town is still the same right now."
"How did Zero Wing do it, then?"
Everyone was discussing this development. Very quickly, word of this situation spread throughout the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.
…
Star-Moon City, Blackwater's Residence:
"Impossible! How did they manage to remove the Evil Energy?!" Abandoned Wave practically screamed when he read the report he just received shortly after resurrecting. "Zero Wing must be faking this information! I can guarantee that the Evil Energy is impossible to remove!"
Unlike curses, Evil Energy could not be cleansed. It was a kind of chaotic energy. Like a contagious virus, it would automatically transform other forms of energy into Evil Energy. Without eliminating the source, removing the Evil Energy polluting Stone Forest Town was simply impossible. However, removing the source was easier said than done. Even he did not know the source's exact location. If it was really located in Black Ridge Town, the monster-infested town was not a place current players could approach.
Moreover, Evil Energy was extremely harmful to players. If players immersed themselves in Evil Energy for long periods, they would get infected and fall into a Weakened state. Players exposed to Evil Energy for too long would even turn into monsters. If that happened, they would be barred from logging into God's Domain for a considerable amount of time. Due to these dire consequences, cleaning out the monsters in Black Ridge Town was extremely difficult.
Hence, he firmly believed that Zero Wing could not remove the Evil Energy polluting Stone Forest Town.
The only possibility was that Zero Wing was releasing fake news.
After all, Zero Wing had previously registered plenty of members at the Battle Arena they constructed, collecting a hefty sum in membership fees. If the Battle Arena was gone, those members could seek compensation for their losses. Therefore, the intention behind the release of this fake news was undoubtedly the appeasement of those members.
"Guild Leader, it's true. Our spies in Zero Wing have already confirmed this fact. The Evil Energy inside the town is indeed gradually dissipating. At this rate, it will take less than five days for all the Evil Energy in the town to disappear completely. By then, Stone Forest Town will be able to resume its operations," Qin Muyun said, an ugly expression on her face as she took out another document.
Not only had the Blackwater Guild lost a considerable number of elite members, but the Guild's prestige in Star-Moon Kingdom had also fallen to rock bottom. Members were withdrawing from the Guild every minute.
Most likely, they would have to recuperate for a long time in order to return to their previous state.
Originally, with Zero Wing having lost Stone Forest Town, Blackwater would've been able to leverageits funds and background to quickly surpass Zero Wing. However, now that Stone Forest Town was alright, whether Blackwater could even surpass Zero Wing's development speed was in question.
