The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 500: The Other Races Descend

The descent of the fourth stage of the apocalypse did not cause much of a commotion other than the expanding of the world. Of course, the world expanded by more than 10 times, considering that it was no longer going to experience any more changes due to the descent of another stage of the apocalypse.

Due to the expansion of the world, of course several buildings in different territories were completely destroyed. The walls that surrounded the territories were immediately split up, and the members of the territories would have to construct another wall again.

At the time that the members of the other races were excited about the occasion, the humans on the other hand were completely nervous. After all, they did not know when it was that the members of the other races would suddenly attack them.

Henry on the other hand did not simply stop sending people to the dungeon, so that they could level up. Despite the fact that another stage of the apocalypse had already descended, it was better for him to continue increasing the strength of the territory, rather than just simply staying there and waiting.

Of course, in case anything happened, he could simply teleport back to the territory, before using the territory function as a Lord to go to the territory that required him there.

But in any case, although he had taken another group to the dungeon, he was not simply focusing on them leveling up, but instead, he was also going to rank up himself.

Ever since the fourth stage of the apocalypse arrived, Henry realized that the wall that was blocking him from reaching the next rank had actually broken.

The strangest thing was the fact that he did not level up immediately after the war was removed, but instead, Henry felt that he could control his ranking up. It was as if there was a chance for improvement, but he was the one that was going to decide how much he was going to improve.

It seemed that he had actually not reached the maximum limit of the platinum rank. And with that, Henry did not do anything else but immediately entered into the system space.

The moment that he got there, he immediately set a situation where he could simulate fighting with a creature that was at level one of the next rank after the platinum rank.

The moment that the fight between him and the creature that had been simulated within the system space began, Henry was actually defeated in just a matter of seconds.

Henry could not believe that something like this could happen. One had to know that during the time that he was at level 9 of the diamond rank, he could actually deal with a level one platinum rank monster, and at the same time, he could also fight against a level 2 Platinum rank creature for some time.

But this time, there was just a single difference between him and the creature of the next rank, but even then, he was actually defeated in just a few seconds, without even being given a chance of resisting.

Just as Henry was wondering if there was actually a mistake in setting the power level of the creature that he was fighting against, a system prompt appeared in front of him.

[Responding to the host’s doubts. It might be true that the host is currently stronger than any level 9 Platinum rank creature within the world that the host is currently in, but even then, the host has to know that there is a great difference between level 9 Platinum rank and level 1 of the next rank which is the epic rank.]

[The ranking after the Platinum rank is as follows. The epic rank, the legendary rank, the mythical rank, ancient rank, and finally, the divine rank.]

[There is a great chasm that separates the creatures at the Platinum rank and those that are in the epic rank and above. In order for a creature to be able to reach the epic rank, they would have to undergo evolution before they can reach that rank.]

Henry went through the information that had been presented to him by the system in his mind silently. Finally, he understood why there was such a great difference. But even then, he could not help but wonder just how powerful he would become the moment that he reached the epic rank.

With excitement in his eyes, he immediately decided to focus on trying to find weaknesses of fighting against a creature that was evolved.

But the results were extremely disappointing. The reason behind that was simply because no matter how many times he tried, he was not actually capable of defeating the creatures at the epic rank.

But even then, Henry did not simply give up because he realized that he was not capable of dealing with them, but instead, he simply focused on attacking, trying to find any weakness that he could exploit in order to deal with the creature. Of course, he was fighting with the same creature over and over again.

And of course, due to Henry’s perseverance, the results began showing themselves after about 2 hours within the system space.

After being defeated countless times by the creature, Henry finally managed to wound it. It might be true that he had not killed the creature, and he had even lost his life the moment that he wounded the creature, but it was a better outcome compared to the last times where he was defeated without even touching the creature.

With excitement surging in Henry’s eyes, he moved on and fought against the creature again and again, intending to utilize all the time that he was supposed to be within the system space to fight against this creature.

...

Outside world...

The moment that the fourth stage of the apocalypse descended, the members of the other races were completely excited. The reason behind that was due to the fact that they had actually been informed by their superiors that they would be descending into this world in less than 2 hours.

The moment that that information reached them, those that had been previously fighting against each other suddenly retreated, preparing to receive the members of their own race that were about to descend.

During the past few days before the 4th stage of the apocalypse, they had been fighting each other, and a few races had actually been completely eliminated from this world. The resources that they had collected were immediately plundered by the victors.

As for the higher ups of the races that had been defeated, after knowing about the fact that all the members that were in this world had been destroyed, they could not help but get annoyed at that. But even then, thinking about the foundation that they possessed, it was definitely not much of a blow for the group that had descended first to be defeated.

In any case, they were some of the weakest members within the race, and so, losing them wasn’t that much of a loss. The only thing that they could feel about was the fact that they had actually lost the resources that had already been collected.

Even in their own worlds, the resources that could be found within this world what definitely not available. It might be true that there might be some substitutes for those resources, but even then, the ones that could be found in this world were natural, and of a higher quality.

This was actually the reason why many of the races agreed to participate in this battle for domination. Of course, they understood that losing the battle for domination would lead to the termination of an entire race, or having them work as slaves.

But even then, the benefits that they would gain the moment that they won the battle was something that tempted them, making them forget about the dangers involved. In any case, they believed to be strong, and they could actually fight against the members of the other races without much of a problem.

In a certain part of the world, in another continent that was located just above the blazing continent, there was a thick forest that was located here. The majority of the area around this place was a forest that covered thousands of kilometers due to the expansion of the world.

Within the thick forest, there was a group of humanoid members of other races. They possessed long ears, and the majority of them possessed green eyes.

They possessed quite good appearances despite of the gender, and they were wearing an armor that tightly fit their bodies. Each and every one of them was carrying a bow on their backs, but there was none of them that was carrying arrows.

Anybody that had seen Diana before would definitely tell that this group belonged to the elves race.

Currently, they had gathered together in a circle at the very center of the forest where they had cleared out a part of it, and constructed a territory here. But if one observed clearly, they would notice that there was no main territory building like in the other territories. From this, it was clear that everything here was actually built by these elves personally.

At this moment, at the very center of the circle that they had formed, a small green circle suddenly lit up. Then in the next moment, three figures appeared. The three of them, a middle-aged man and lady, and a young man, looked around the moment that they appeared.

But instead of being happy about their arrival here, they possessed a frown on their faces. Then, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up.

"I can feel the presence of the princess within this world. It seems that she came here. Let’s hope that she’s okay. Our first mission is to make sure that she comes here safely." He stated in a deep voice as he looked towards the distance, despite his vision being blocked by the tall trees.
