Zonker99: Breaking news: The Celestial Kingdom has announced the very first Awakener with S-Grade Potential. Quick, click this link and see the details.

Comellynna: Scam! The person above is a scam. That link is nothing but a product he’s selling. Don’t click on it. This is the real link here. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Amidst the buzzing of the crowd in the comments, Desther found the real link to that news and confirmed the truthfulness of the situation.

According to the news, China, or most commonly known as the Celestial Kingdom nowadays, has truly announced the very first S-Grade Awakener in the world.

For others, the announcement was quite sudden, but for those in the know, they knew that it was only a matter of time.

The other big countries, like the Brown Bear Alliance and Freedom Federation, had not made any announcements as of late, though.

Previously, it has been them and the Celestial Kingdom going at each other for any reason they could find.

The race to the moon is already a good example.

Desther just did not know why there was no news in regard to the Brown Bear Alliance and Freedom Federation in regard to S-Grade Awakeners.

Considering that there were also dungeon mutations in their country during that time, it should already be expected that they would also have an S-Grade Awakener by now.

’Could it be that the awakeners in those countries are a bit like me? Unwilling to come out of the world?’

That thought could not help but bother Desther’s mind.

However, considering the Brown Bear Alliance and the Freedom Federation’s attitude, the S-Grade Awakeners would surely come to light sooner or later.

It was just unfortunate that it was the Celestial Kingdom who made the announcement first, beating them on this invisible race.

At the end of the news posted in the official account of their country, the speaker from the Celestial Kingdom even put up some advertisements for their country.

"We have an S-Grade Awakener here in the Celestial Kingdom. Your future is safe with us. If you want to be safe, come and join us in the Celestial Kingdom. Any talented person is welcome to come here. We will provide you with benefits, of course. If you are interested, kindly contact 123xxxx."

There were a lot of mixed reactions in the announcement’s comment section.

Desther read some of them, checking if there would actually be someone willing to go to the Celestial Kingdom just because an S-Grade Awakener was there.

Duane_Barnes: Don’t know about you guys, but it seemed a bit fake to me. Unless they show us proof, I’m not going to believe any of their shit. Who knows if they are just bullshitting and just want us to move to their country?

In the video announcement, the speaker only spoke of the existence of an S-Grade Awakener, but had truly not posted any proof of it yet.

Calphyics: I actually think it’s true. I heard from the uncle of my friend’s brother’s sister-in-law that they had already tested the capability of that S-Grade Awakener. They are now spending a lot of effort to help that guy level up and reach Tier 1 as soon as possible. Right, I heard from the same source that his talent seemed to involve something like cultivation or something. I wonder if it’s all about growing plants and trees.

Storm2warden: You guys might not know it, but the US, or the Freedom Federation was actually planning to announce the same thing a few days ago. It’s just that the Celestial Kingdom has beaten them to it. So I think all of this might truly be real. There should already be some S-Grade Awakeners now around the world. We just need to wait for their announcement.

Daoistshadowmyst: No way!. I totally knew something was up when Russia, or the Brown Bear Alliance posted something cryptic on their official account. I mean, can you believe it? Even President Brown Bear posted a single ’S’ around the same time as well.

Seeing their comments, Desther realized that it was not that the other countries were not in the move. He just did not know it since it was not on his newsfeed.

Sss: Let’s hope that everything is true then. With a lot of S-Grade Awakeners showing one after the other, wouldn’t this mean the situation all over the world would turn for the better?

Robert_Hosek: To the person above, the answer to that question is Yes, and at the same time No. It’s truly possible that it would become safer, but have you thought about why a lot of them have appeared all of a sudden and at the same time at that? I don’t believe that there’s nothing creepy or fishy going on.

Desther nodded his head upon seeing the last comment. He could not help but agree to this person’s comment as well.

Before their awakening, A-Grade Awakeners were already rare enough that they could be celebrities and important figures in the country.

Now, if multiple S-Grade Awakeners awakened at the same time, it definitely meant a lot.

Not to mention the fact that he himself was an SSS-Grade Awakener.

As he said before, it felt like the world was preparing for something big.

Something big and dangerous was coming.

Desther knew that and knew that he was much more aware compared to others due to his recent findings.

’Could it be the Chaos creatures mentioned during my Class transition warning?’

Although he could not confirm this yet, Desther thought that there was a high chance that it was indeed them that the world was trying to prepare for.

In any case, this was definitely bound to happen.

From the words of that certain comic he saw before, this was a canon event that would surely happen, whether they liked it or not.

’I must prepare thoroughly,’ Desther steeled his resolve once more.

Just as he closed his app, he suddenly heard Noah exclaim abruptly from his tent.

"Boss! Big news! Big news! China—err, I mean, the Celestial Kingdom has announced something. Quick, take a look at it."
