Whoosh!

Just like when John had first appeared—

In only a single second, his figure arrived right in front of Ereka.

Ereka’s eyes were filled with terror, his face full of disbelief. "You can’t be human. You’re definitely not human."

According to his understanding, the human race’s panel and skill mechanics could not possibly be this domineering.

So after suffering that unavoidable slash, Ereka was certain that John was absolutely not human.

John, however, was too lazy to waste words with him. He directly raised his hand and summoned an incomparably massive sphere of deathly light.

Beneath that sphere of death, Ereka felt something he had not felt in a very long time—

Death.

A look of horror appeared on his face. "Wait, you can’t kill me at a time like this. If you kill me now, you will—"

He had only spoken halfway when the deathly light sphere had already landed on him.

[-12,000,000!]

A terrifying amount of damage suddenly appeared!

Ereka’s HP instantly bottomed out. His body turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

The former number one of the All-race Battlefield had been instantly killed by John in just two moves.

In the next moment—

A notification rang out across the All-race Battlefield.

[The second-ranked player on the Points Ranking, demon race vanguard Ereka, has been eliminated by human race vanguard John!]

...

Hiss!

After the notification sounded, all the vanguards currently rushing toward the fragment of the Brain of the God Realm could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Earlier, when Lotheran and Ereka joined forces to kill Gurok, they had already been shocked once.

After all, Gurok had at least been ranked fourth on the Points Ranking, yet he had been killed instantly.

The current first place on the ranking had already become Lotheran.

But everyone understood that the true first place should have been Ereka.

And now, Ereka had actually been killed by John, the human race vanguard who had been ranked third.

Ereka’s points were directly added to John’s total, instantly bringing his overall score to 3,451 points.

The top position changed hands in an instant.

It became John.

This was the first time in nearly a hundred years that the name of a human had appeared at the top of the Vanguard Ranking on the All-race Battlefield.

...

"That demon was actually killed.

"And the one who killed him was actually a human vanguard."

Several hundred kilometers away, Lotheran froze in place, her beautiful face filled with shock.

Ever since killing Gurok, this elf vanguard had been fleeing nonstop.

She had been terrified that Ereka would set his sights on her and casually kill her as well.

At the same time, she had also been waiting for the notification that the Divine Relic fragment had been taken away.

However, she had heard nothing of the sort.

Instead, what rang out now was the notification that Ereka had been killed.

As an elf vanguard who had truly exchanged blows with Ereka, one could imagine just how shocked Lotheran was by this announcement.

"This human vanguard John is actually this terrifying."

"Hiss... How exactly did he kill Ereka?"

"Could this person be the reincarnation of some powerful expert of the human race?"

"If he isn’t a reincarnated expert, then I’m afraid the human race is going to rise from now on."

As a member of the elf race, Lotheran had lived for a very long time.

She knew many secrets of the human race and had also witnessed the bearing of many former human experts.

But she had never seen any human expert who could reach John’s level of dominance.

No matter what, all races now understood one thing—

The current human race was no longer easy to provoke.

...

At the same time, the players from every zone also saw the scene in the light screen where John casually insta-killed Ereka of the demon race.

They instantly burst into wild joy.

Because John had taken first place. If he could hold that position until the ranking settled, they would also receive an enormous boost.

[Roy] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Did you see that? Did all of you see that?! That was Ereka of the demon race! A Level 270 Points Ranking expert, and John casually killed him in an instant!"

[Valenna] (Zone 2, Thunder Guild): "Am I seeing things? How much damage was that attack just now? Did anyone count it clearly? I’m seriously scared!"

[Damian] (Zone 3, Death Guild): "Although I already knew Boss John was very strong, seeing it with my own eyes is something else entirely... That was the former number one demon race player, a Level 300 demon race vanguard, not some random roadside mob!"

[Isabel] (Zone 5, Overlord Guild): "There were still people saying before that he only killed Myriadsoul because he got lucky. What about now? Even the demon race vanguard got insta-killed by him! Let’s see who still dares to be stubborn!"

[Alger] (Zone 5, Overlord Guild): "Hahahaha! Did you see that?! This is the strength of our guild leader!

"Any vanguard able to enter the All-race Battlefield must at least be one of the top three geniuses of their race.

"But this Ereka was directly killed by our guild leader with one skill!"

[Olivia] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "What do you call a gap? This is what you call a gap! Edward actually wanted to oppose Boss John back then? He isn’t even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

[Lucius] (Zone 2, Thunder Guild): "I’m a Zone 2 player, and I wasn’t really convinced by John before. But from today on, if anyone dares say one bad word about John, I’ll be the first to fire back! This is someone bringing glory to the human race!"

[Claire] (Zone 4, War God Guild): "I recorded the whole thing! Once I get back, I’m posting it on the forum so those people still bragging that the other races are invincible can take a good look at who the truly invincible one is!"

[Magnus] (Zone 3, Death Guild): "So satisfying. This is too satisfying! My own strength is average, and normally I have to take a detour whenever I see members of other races. Today, Boss John finally let those high-and-mighty races taste what it feels like to be crushed!"

[Alan] (Zone 5, Overlord Guild): "Everyone, don’t get too excited. In our guild leader’s eyes, this is just basic operation. He hasn’t even used his full strength yet."

At this moment, the players of Zone 5 finally understood what it meant to share in another’s glory.

Their guild leader was slaughtering all opposition on the All-race Battlefield. As members of the same guild, they naturally felt a surge of pride.

At the same time, the human NPCs all became teary-eyed.

How many years had it been?

The human race finally had another vanguard who had reached the top of the ranking.

They had waited for this day for who knew how long.

Honored martyrs, heroic spirits—

You can finally rest in peace.

From this day onward, the human race shall rise again!

...

Inside the All-race Battlefield—

John listened as notification sounds continued ringing beside his ears.

[You have killed a Level 300 demon race vanguard. EXP +100,000,000, gold coins +10,000,000, Fame +100,000,000!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained +1,477 points!]

[Congratulations, you have entered first place on the Vanguard Ranking!]

[Your current total points are 3,451!]

[You have plundered the special talent: Reincarnator!]

Listening to the notifications, John let out a breath of relief in his heart.

"I finally took first place on the Points Ranking!

"Next, I only need to hold steady. Also, I can now take away the Divine Relic fragment."

John’s gaze landed on the center of the island. At this moment, the pillar of light emitted by the Divine Relic still had not disappeared.

Perhaps because he was here now, none of the surrounding alien race vanguards dared to approach.
