Chapter 446: Start Over from Scratch_2

This is the formal Promotion Awakening Ceremony.

Dean McKenzie didn’t expect to encounter it this time, back when he first crossed over, he had no chance to witness it.

And in the blink of an eye, many have already started their career transitions.

As one by one, they put their hands on the stone tablet, visions started to appear. Flames formed into boxing gloves for some, while others saw frosty colossal cannons.

And within these visions, each young boy and girl accomplished their career transition.

“B-grade occupation, Furious Fist Fighter!”

“A-grade occupation, Frostbolt Cannoneer!”

“A-grade occupation, Azure Cloud Swordsman!”

…

Dean McKenzie realized the job transitions in this world seemed to be of high quality.

They are either B-grade or A-grade.

Even quite a few S-level ones too.

But it seems none of this has anything to do with Dean McKenzie.

“Unless there’s a surprise, I should still be a Necromancer Trainee, right? So, what’s the level of an ordinary job? F-level?”

Dean McKenzie grimaced, he was already prepared for a disappointing start.

Moreover, this time it seemed more hellish than the last, without any talents, it’d be truly pathetic!

Dean McKenzie didn’t even know how he would face this challenge next.

The promotion ceremony came around to Dean McKenzie quickly.

“Damn that crazy woman for getting me into this mess!”

With a soft sigh, Dean McKenzie stepped onto the high platform and came to the stone tablet, facing it with some hesitation.

In response to Dean McKenzie’s hesitation, the elderly man beside him encouraged, “Reach out your hand, child, no matter what the future holds, it’s your future. Face it bravely!”

“Alright!”

Dean McKenzie took a deep breath and placed his hand on the stone tablet.

The moment his arm came into contact with it, Dean McKenzie clearly felt something inside him shifting a little.

Indistinctly, he felt as if he had returned to Kavita’s embrace, which made him frown involuntarily.

At the same time, the stone tablet in front of Dean McKenzie lit up.

An unprecedented brightness!

A powerful force surged into Dean McKenzie’s body, causing him to glow all over.

Simultaneously, the panoptic clear sky dimmed instantly. Endless dark clouds rolled in, with terrifying thunder flickering in them. In a flash, an apocalyptic scene enveloped the entire 74th Gathering Place!

“This is, this is, this is!”

Seeing the vision, the old man next to Dean McKenzie trembled with excitement.

“This is a God-level profession, no doubt about it! This vision is even more terrifying than when I first transitioned to an SSS-level professional, it has to be a God-level professional!”

At the same time, the system prompt in front of Dean McKenzie refreshed.

[You received the Blessing from >, successfully promoted to the God Level Profession of “[Destroyer Wielding the Power of Thunder]!]”

[You have awakened Talent [Thunderous Power]!]”

[You have awakened Skill [Annihilation Thunder Slash] (God Level)]

At the same time, Dean McKenzie’s attribute panel was updated.

…

This is the first time Dean McKenzie has seen a Level 1 God-level Professional.

It’s safe to say that this attribute is quite exaggerated.

Dean also learned for the first time how inflated the template of a God-level professional is. At Level 1, all attributes have already increased by ten thousand attribute points.

“If it’s this template, maybe I have a tiny hope of passing this trial.”

Only after seeing the attribute board for his new profession, did Dean gain a glimmer of confidence for this trial.

Yes, even with the cheat code that Kavita unlocked for him, Dean was still not very confident.

After all, he knew precisely how strong he was.

Even with this template, Dean wasn’t very hopeful about confronting his 180-Level Necromancer self, even if given five years to develop.

Even if Dean did not appear alone but with others like Doggy Two, he might not be able to withstand them.

“I can’t do this alone, so, I offer myself to the human race!”

Dean made this decision almost instantly.

At this point, the effects of the Promotion Ceremony began to gradually dissipate, and the old man next to him looked at Dean expectantly, “My boy…your profession…”

With a faint smile, Dean fully and unreservedly shared his attribute board with the old man.

The moment the old man saw Dean’s attributes, he nearly lost his breath. It took him a while to recover, and after he did, he laughed heartily, tears almost falling from his eyes.

“It’s good, heaven is watching. Our human race finally has hope!”

…

In the Ninth-turn Replica World, within the human race’s First Fortress.

The Fortress’s highest-ranking officer, who is also the most senior officer in the entire Ninth-turn Replica world, looked on worryingly over the report in his hands.

“In just one year, 32 out of the 360 human fortresses have been destroyed by beast invasions. As of now, only 247 human fortresses remain, with our total population dropping below 100 million.

The beast invasions on the first defense line have been increasing year by year. Can our human race continue to have hope in these circumstances?”

The severe situation left the human’s highest-ranking officer breathless.

At this moment, another piece of news was delivered to him.

The highest-ranking officer took a look, and his already heavy mood sank even further.

The message was simple and consisted of only one line of text.

“War God has fallen!”

These four short words weighted on the human leader, leaving him breathless.

This news was even more shocking to him than the previous report.

Who was the War God?

He was the strongest among the human race in this Replica World, a Guardian Beast of the human race. His presence at the first defense line has allowed us to withstand our greatest crisis, the endless wave of savage beasts.

Not long ago, he had repelled the historically biggest beast invasion and severely injured the Beast King.

But he was gravely injured during the fight, and despite the human race making every effort to save him, the War God has fallen.

The highest-ranking officer slumped into his chair, a feeling of helplessness washed over him.

“No, I can’t give up. The War God fell, if I were to succumb to despair now, then the human race would collapse today!”

With that thought, the highest-ranking officer forced himself to stand. He walked out of his office.

As he stepped out, the look of despair that previously covered him was wiped away. The dignitary exhibiting everlasting vigor and hope reappeared before everyone.

Seeing their commander full of hope, those who were on the verge of collapse due to the fall of the War God finally found reassurance.

The highest-ranking officer told his assistant, “Tell the War God’s family that due to unusual circumstances, I can’t go to see the War God for the last time.

Preserve the War God’s body with a magical artifact, hold off the funeral, the people can’t bear the shock of his fall for now.

Give them time to accept this, we need to find a new War God!

Once we find a new War God, we will honor the War God with the respect he deserves!”

The assistant replied, “The War God’s family said that they can accept whatever arrangements we make as per the War God’s last words which emphasized the greater good.”

“The War God’s nobility!”

Everyone had tears in their eyes.

Could the human race ever see the rise of another War God, as perfect in both power and character as the last one?

Does the human race still have hope?

Just as this atmosphere of despair and frustration was spreading, the encrypted message from Fortress 74 arrived here!

It was Dean’s unencrypted attribute!
