Chapter 551: Chapter 340 The Beginning of a Miracle

Having been through this multiple times, Rod swiftly pulled on his pants at lightning speed to avoid being exposed before everyone.

The next second, Anna and Cilly burst into the room, and the moment they saw Rod, intense joy erupted in their eyes.

He was indeed alive!

Both asked simultaneously, "How did you come back?"

Before Rod could answer, more people rushed in.

"Rod, how did you manage that?"

"Just how many Fire Sparks do you have? That’s too many functions, isn’t it?"

"Why is your Spiritual Energy Cannon so powerful? It can even kill monsters like the Insect Queen in one shot."

"And what about that Undying Body?"

"Why didn’t you use the Space Waypoint?"

"And..."

Countless questions flooded towards him, everyone was eager to know how he had created the miracle.

Finally, it was Chucher who interrupted them.

"Alright, stop bickering."

He turned around, his expression serious.

"Little Rod, on the way back, I heard everything about what happened from them. I’m glad you could achieve such a feat, but before addressing other questions, you need to explain why you didn’t use the Space Waypoint as initially planned."

Chills ran down Rod’s spine, and he immediately replied, "My intuition felt that using the Waypoint would lead to unimaginable disastrous consequences."

Intuition is a very subtle entity, sometimes it is scoffed at, yet at other times, it can be deeply trusted.

But it also happens to be the closest explanation to Rod’s peculiar actions, whether it’s the wisdom of Divine Sense or the prophecies of Star Square, it could be used as an excuse.

It was a perfect cover.

Indeed, upon hearing this explanation, everyone’s expressions underwent a bizarre change.

Chucher and Herman exchanged looks, both reading gravity in each other’s eyes.

"Space Waypoint" involves Alan, and if there is an issue with it, it must be investigated thoroughly to find the source.

This concerned the safety of a Special Level Combatant, and it was no small matter.

"Alright, don’t mention this matter anymore, and none of you are allowed to leak it," Herman said sternly.

"Rod, give me the Waypoint, I will go personally to the King and Judgment Chief Lucian to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Chucher nodded slightly, "Right, but it might also be that Alan is too tired, he has been continuously fighting for too long. I will request the Round Table Hall to rearrange the combat sequence, let him return to the Royal City to rest for a while, and receive more Healing at the Soul Church, to thoroughly cleanse the pollution in his soul."

Joy surged in Rod’s heart, that would be for the best.

After all, Alan was the War God of Trolian, and if something happened to him, humanity’s loss would be tremendous.

Indeed, "Dunce’s" intuition was worth paying attention to.

Ha ha.

For the first time, Rod did not find the nickname "Dark Dunce" so repellant.

After learning this important information, Chucher and Herman hurriedly left, leaving only a crowd of young people in the room.

Facing their inquiries, Rod felt no pressure and effortlessly made up various excuses.

"This is the ability of the Dark Dunce..."

"I ignited seven Fire Sparks, it’s not a problem to be a bit special, right?"

"What do you know? This is the Soul Ripple left by Sir Theodore!"

"Intuition, do you even know what intuition is?"

...

...

After expending countless explanations, Rod finally managed to answer all the questions.

Of course, he did not excessively boast about himself, specifically stating that those tactics were not abilities that could be easily reused.

But everyone was already very satisfied with this answer, as Rod’s deeds far exceeded the limits of a prospective Hall member.

If he could use them easily, that would be hard for people to believe.

No one doubted Rod’s words.

In Trolian, unless someone was suspected to be a Doomsday believer, people had very low guard against lies.

Rod had long shed such suspicions, and no one associated him with those crazies anymore.

He was this year’s most dazzling "newcomer" in Trolian, making other human elites pale in comparison, with only a few able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

The growth of the new generation was humanity’s hope.

No matter their stance, as long as they were not Doomsday believers, everyone ardently hoped for more powerful newcomers to emerge among the new generation.

If there was anything that could support the people of Trolian to survive in such a desperate world, it was the new-born Fire of Hope.

As the ancient proverb goes: "Miracles are born from new flames."

Amidst these dazzling flames, Rod was undoubtedly a very bright one.

Yet, he had not faced the real test, apart from the King and Alan; many top powerhouses did not have much confidence in him, as too many dazzling prodigies became mundane upon entering the Fire Hall.

Without the baptism of Hall battles, one would not receive widespread recognition.

Rod was already a hero in many people’s eyes, and after entering the Fire Hall, his legend did not stop, just this alone was enough to lift spirits.

Everyone was immensely happy.

Rod would continue his miracles.

And they, were witnesses to the miracle.

—

The crisis in the Trident River Region was completely resolved.

With the Insect Queen gone, the Demonized Ants could no longer whip up any storms, and most of their nests were destroyed. The remaining Demonized Ants were quickly eliminated by the warriors of the various Lighthouses.
