......
This information was not only posted on the guild headquarters’ bulletin board in the first-floor hall but also became the headline of the newspapers, spreading throughout the entire Orario in less than half a day.
When this news became widely known and was learned by clans, deities, adventurers, and citizens alike, even knowing what a "Limit Breaker" was, people were still bewildered for a long time, only expressing their sentiments after a while.
"60 days, huh..."
"That’s outrageous, isn’t it?"
"This is Lv.7, the highest level in Orario and even the world..."
"And yet... it was achieved?"
"No wonder he’s recognized by the deities as a ’Limit Breaker’, always exceeding human expectations like this."
Someone sighed.
Someone forced a smile.
Someone was envious.
Someone admired.
Of course, there were also those who were excited and cheered loudly, offering enthusiastic applause to this newcomer who achieved incredible feats.
Even the gods gathered together, either loudly discussing or lamenting to each other, eventually turning into a large-scale complaint session.
"Why did such a child end up in Loki’s hands?"
"The Loki Clan is already strong, and now such a monster newcomer joins. How are we, the small and medium clans, supposed to survive?"
"It’s been hardly over half a year, right?"
"Yes, it took 7 days to go from Lv.1 to Lv.2, 15 days from Lv.2 to Lv.3, 30 days from Lv.3 to Lv.4, 45 days from Lv.4 to Lv.5, 50 days from Lv.5 to Lv.6..."
"And now, from Lv.6 to Lv.7, it took 60 days..."
"In total, just 207 days."
"About seven months."
"At this rate, won’t this ’Limit Breaker’ reach Lv.8 in a few more months?"
"...Impossible, right?"
"No matter how much limits are broken, there should be a limit, shouldn’t there?"
"But... he’s a ’Limit Breaker’..."
"......"
"Damn it! So jealous of Loki!"
"Who isn’t?"
The thoughts of the deities are pretty much the thoughts of most others.
Such astonishing growth speed, such terrifying potential, make everyone feel that this incredibly terrifying newcomer will soon reach Lv.8, chasing the ’Warrior’ Ota, and even quickly rise to Lv.9, catching up with the Hera Clan’s highest rank, becoming the strongest ace in Orario and even the world.
Some people are even advocating that the ’Limit Breaker’ possesses the strength to challenge the ’Warrior’ for the title of the strongest.
After all, everyone knows that his specialty is challenging across levels.
Perhaps, he already possesses the strength equivalent to Lv.8.
Perhaps, he possesses the power to defeat Lv.8.
Perhaps, he can fulfill the Zeus Clan and Hera Clan’s long-standing regrets, defeating the final monster commissioned by the three adventurers—the One-eyed Black Dragon.
Reiger’s leveling up has sparked such widespread discussion in Orario and quickly spread outside the city, reaching the entire world through merchants and bards.
Undoubtedly, in most people’s hearts, Reiger is already an existence comparable to the ’Warrior’.
Even more, compared to ’Warrior’ Ota, many people are actually more anticipating Reiger’s performance, believing he is the one truly capable of catching up to the achievements of the Zeus Clan and Hera Clan, surpassing these two millennial factions, ascending to the title of the strongest, successfully conquering the Black Dragon, and saving the world.
Reiger’s astonishing growth speed has led many people to harbor deep expectations and great hopes for him.
To this day, the Catastrophe Dragon, the One-eyed Black Dragon, still rampages on the ground like an incarnation of the apocalypse.
In the future, could Reiger defeat it, accomplishing the greatest adventure that the last hero Albert and the Zeus Clan, Hera Clan, failed to complete a thousand years ago?
Is he the hero that both the gods and humanity have been waiting for?
People and gods continually ask themselves and each other, holding onto their expectations and hopes, waiting for the hero’s emergence.
And in the Loki Clan, the news of Reiger’s advancement to Lv.7 also led to a great sensation.
Finn, Grace, and Revilia were stunned upon hearing this news, then simultaneously broke into smiles.
"This is truly a timely rain."
This is what Finn and the others thought.
Just as Loki envisioned, at this juncture about to embark on the formal conquest of the artificial dungeon Knossos, the news of Reiger’s leveling up is undoubtedly a shot of confidence, greatly encouraging and boosting morale.
As a result, this matter clearly caused a big stir last night, making many people too excited to sleep. The next morning, when Reiger walked into the dining room, everyone was still enthusiastically discussing it and surrounding Reiger.
"How did you reach Lv.7?"
Theona had a bitter look on her face as she tugged at Reiger’s clothes and sighed.
"We all reached Lv.6 together, but then you alone advanced to Lv.7. How are we supposed to catch up?"
Not only Theona was sighing like this, but even Theone and Bert wore sour expressions.
"I’ve given up hope. Anyway, it was expected that I’d be surpassed."
Theone said this with her mouth, but both her expression and tone showed great displeasure.
"Tch..."
Bert sat on the side, looking at Reiger being surrounded by everyone, feeling that even the meat in his hand no longer tasted good.
"......."
Ais said nothing, sitting next to Reiger, her expression very complicated.
"In the end, he still surpassed me..."
Ais couldn’t quite describe how she felt at the moment.
Joy?
There was definitely some of that.
Reiger had embarked on a new stage, achieved new accomplishments, and his strength had become stronger than before. Because of this, Ais naturally felt happy and delighted for Reiger.
Besides that, Ais also felt envious, just like in the past, thinking uncontrollably how great it would be if she could become stronger as quickly as he did?
But, unlike the past, the current Ais no longer felt urgency or impatience because of Reiger’s growth.
Ais couldn’t really say what was the reason for this.
She only knew that now she could naturally accept that Reiger was stronger than her and even started to look forward to it, eager to know how high Reiger could reach in the future and how strong he could become.
As for the sense of competition?
At this moment, neither Ais, Bert, Theona, nor Theone harbored that feeling anymore.
Just like Theona said, how could they keep up?
Two months ago, they all advanced to Lv.6 together, and now everyone was still at the lower stage of Lv.6, yet Reiger had already upgraded. It didn’t seem possible to catch up, right?
It should be known that even Ais, the publicly recognized most talented among them, had struggled at Lv.5 for about three years before advancing to Lv.6 not long ago.
Under such circumstances, if they wanted to reach Lv.7, they would have to struggle for several more years, or even like Finn and others, toil for over a decade.
Even the "Brave" Ota took seven years to advance from Lv.6 to Lv.7, so they would need at least seven or eight years.
By that time, at Reiger’s growth rate, he might have already reached Lv.8 or even Lv.9.
So, at this moment, even Bert, who typically refused to admit defeat, silently abandoned the idea of competing with Reiger.
There was no way around it, it was just not possible to catch up.
In contrast, Raul, Angel, Rephia, and others felt nothing but joy at Reiger’s upgrade.
"This is really timely," Raul said repeatedly, "Having an additional Lv.7’s strength before tackling the artificial labyrinth increases our chances of success."
"Reiger is not just an ordinary Lv.7." Angel folded her arms, not showing an overtly happy expression like Raul, but her tail wagged behind her, seemingly quite pleased, as she said, "With Reiger’s abilities, even if he just advanced to Lv.7, he wouldn’t be weaker than other Lv.7, and might even be stronger."
"Having already lost to Reiger’s ’Divine Chariot’ is one thing, but even the captain and others might..."
When Angel said this, everyone else fell silent and some nodded their heads.
Reiger’s upgrade this time would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.
Whether he could compare to the Lv.8 "Brave" was one thing, but he was definitely not weaker than Finn, Grace, Revilia, and others.
After all, whether it was Finn, Grace, Revilia, or Allen from the Freyja Clan, they only reached Lv.7 in the past two months.
This upgrade of Reiger’s virtually placed him on par with these seasoned strong individuals, almost stepping into this level simultaneously.
In other words, the distance between them was practically zero.
And given the abilities Reiger had shown so far, he would only be stronger than these recently upgraded veterans.
Therefore, everyone realized.
In the clan, Reiger had undoubtedly become the strongest.
In the upcoming artificial labyrinth raid, Reiger would indeed be the strongest trump card on their side.
"Reiger, amazing."
Rephia gazed at Reiger, her eyes almost overflowing with admiration and reverence.
The members watching from around exhibited intense joy, anticipation, and excitement, causing the tension that enveloped the entire base last night to disappear without a trace.
In response to this, surrounded by everyone and drowned out by everyone’s comments, Reiger suddenly smiled, not having had the chance to say a word until now.
"Don’t worry."
Reiger said softly.
"We will win."
Upon hearing this, everyone was initially taken aback, then their eyes collectively became resolute.
"That’s right, we will win."
Everyone believed this firmly and maintained this mindset until the day arrived.
