"The first and second First Order Awakeners on Blue Star, so impressive."
Some also noticed that there were only two people in the announcement.
"Did the other three people die? It shows how difficult the Advancement Instance is. Even Big Boss Noah could only save one person."
"I'm so envious of Claire. Leaning on that leg must feel great."
"What is the Title? Since it appeared in the announcement, it must be extraordinary. I really want to know its specific attributes."
...
Countless people wanted to contact Noah and Claire, but couldn't reach them. As for Marcus and others who had already exited the instance, they had turned off all messages and were in self-isolation.
"Ah~ Finally back."
Noah, who had returned to his home, had just stretched when he heard a system prompt.
[World Announcement: Detected that Blue Star Awakeners cleared all Zero Order instances within 12 hours. Performance is excellent. Special reward: Disaster Arrival countdown is now active.]
"What countdown?"
Noah was startled.
Immediately after, he felt something and suddenly walked to the window, looking up at the sky.
He saw a line of large characters slowly appearing in the clear blue sky.
[Demonized Monsters (Ghost Grade): 90 days]
"What is that? Disaster Countdown?"
"I'm in Eagle Federation, and a countdown to some Disaster has appeared in the sky."
"Is it the same where you are? I'm in Starfall Nation, and I can see it too."
"My Country is the same."
People all over Blue Star quickly discovered that no matter where they were, as long as they looked up at the sky, they could see this line of large characters.
Connecting this to the word "Disaster", this countdown was like a Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone on Blue Star, making countless people feel heavy-hearted.
"Disaster Countdown?"
Noah looked at the sky and murmured.
He recalled the information he received when he first Awakened.
Transcendent Aura descended upon Blue Star, ushering in an era of National awakening (Awakening for all). However, crisis and opportunity coexist. The incomparably brilliant Transcendent Aura will attract ferocious otherworldly monsters, forming terrifying Disasters.
This is an unavoidable calamity for Blue Star.
"Demonized Monsters." Noah thought of the three monsters he killed in the hospital. Their bodies were shrouded in black mist, and the goblins that attacked South River University were the same.
So those are Demonized Monsters.
"There are still three months." The time seems ample, but no one knows the overall strength of the Demonized Monsters.
Since they are called Disasters, they definitely won't be easy to deal with.
"Ghost-grade?"
Noah shook his head slightly. There was too much missing information to reach any effective conclusions.
"Forget it, I'll rest for a bit first."
Noah stretched, washed up, and quickly lay down on the bed.
He had been fighting in the Instance for over ten hours and felt mentally and physically exhausted. Even the biggest matters could wait until he woke up.
...
New Sea City, Lone Hill Port.
A short-haired woman in a dark blue professional skirt got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of her before walking in without hesitation.
Although the building looked simple and didn't even have a sign, she believed that this place would become a crucial location in New Sea City in the future.
"Hello, welcome to the New Sea City Supernatural Management Bureau." The receptionist girl smiled sweetly.
"My name is Rose, and I'm here to report." The short-haired woman said.
"Ms. Rose? Director Luke is waiting for you on the third floor."
Hearing this, Rose nodded.
The Starfall Nation officials reacted very quickly. Although the National awakening (Awakening for all) happened late at night, they still responded as quickly as possible.
Establishing Supernatural Management Bureaus in various places was the first step, followed by collecting information on the Talents of all citizens nationwide.
The first to be surveyed were government personnel.
Rose was originally in the system. After receiving the notice, she didn't hesitate much and reported her Talent. Since her Awakened Talent was SS-grade, she was immediately transferred to the Supernatural Management Bureau.
Rose had no objection to the new appointment.
"Director Luke."
On the third floor of the Bureau, Rose met a slightly overweight Man.
Luke Carter is the Deputy Director of the Supernatural Management Bureau, primarily responsible for administration and logistics management.
"Ms. Rose, from now on, you will be the captain of the first team of the Supernatural Enforcement Squad. Is that okay?" Luke's attitude was very polite.
Members of the Supernatural Management Bureau are divided into two parts: combat and management. There is no subordinate relationship between the two sides.
Above the Enforcement Team Captain is the General Captain, and above that is the Director. Currently, both of these positions are vacant. Therefore, even though Luke is the Deputy Director, he did not dare to order around Rose, who was responsible for combat.
"I obey the arrangements of my superiors." Rose said decisively, "Are there any urgent cases in New Sea City that need to be dealt with now? Killing otherworldly monsters or punishing criminal Awakeners?"
