At the same moment the black crystal broke.
Everywhere in the Aden Kingdom.
Those infected with the Crystal Demon virus, like Hiluluk, returned from their dazed state.
"Where, where am I?"
"What happened?"
"Ah! A monster!"
"Why did I become like this... Why has everyone become like this!"
"..."
A chaotic scene appeared in every part of the country.
In the minds of the Aden Kingdom people, they thought they had the platinum poisoning that was raging in the North Sea.
But no matter how knowledgeable people were, they had never heard that platinum poisoning would turn people into "monsters"!
...
"No, why would I become like this!"
The girl ran into her room, sat in front of the mirror, and looked at her face after being infected with the Crystal Demon virus.
She tried to tear the crystals off her skin.
When her hand couldn't grasp it, she grabbed the pliers from the toolbox next to her and fixed them directly on the crystal bulge on her leg.
Girls always like to be pretty, and she never wanted to live in the world in such a terrible state!
The hand holding the pliers suddenly used force, and with a "tearing" sound, a small piece of crystal was torn off along with the flesh.
A piercing pain came, and the girl's forehead was covered in sweat.
But what made the girl feel extremely desperate was that the terrifying wound on her leg, which was bleeding non-stop, stopped bleeding after a few breaths.
At the same time, the ugly crystals grew again, until the entire leg returned to normal.
...
Many people in the Aden Kingdom discovered this characteristic.
For a time, countless people fell into chaos.
The Aden Kingdom has a very small land area and is a small country mainly based on farming and supplemented by fishing.
When the Crystal Demon virus spread, people all over the country ran to the sea, trying to escape the country by fishing boats.
But what they didn't expect was that the royal family of the Aden Kingdom destroyed all ships capable of sailing overseas while fleeing overseas!
A few people risked sailing small boats out to sea, but were eventually swallowed by the surrounding fierce waves and buried at the bottom of the sea.
Therefore, at the moment when the Crystal Demon virus completely broke out, most of the residents of the Aden Kingdom were located in coastal areas.
They transformed into terrifying Crystal Demons, wandering around.
Now that the black crystal source of infection has been destroyed, the Crystal Demons have regained their consciousness.
They looked at themselves that were completely different, and were unable to accept the reality for a while.
"We... we've become monsters?"
In a panic, someone suddenly noticed movement on the distant sea.
He squinted his eyes and vaguely felt that his eyesight was much better than before. Even without binoculars, he could see things on the distant sea.
Why?
He didn't quite understand what was happening to his body, but at this moment he had no time to worry about it, because what appeared on the sea shocked him even more.
It was a ship.
A ship with the World Government flag!
"It's, it's the World Government!"
The man exclaimed.
People around the dock turned to look.
Someone subconsciously took out their binoculars from their pocket, only to find that the picture shown in the binoculars was blurry.
"Huh?"
But when they dropped the binoculars, they could clearly see the distant scene.
Their eyesight... has improved?
Why?
And what puzzled them even more was that what was happening to them seemed to be far more than that.
There was a lame person who was limping, but now he was walking quickly.
Some people were buried underground by collapsed houses. The people outside wanted to call for help, but unexpectedly, the person actually opened the floor slab pressing on his body with his own strength!
He stood on the ruins, looking at the floor slab that he had just smashed with one punch, and fell into confusion.
What exactly happened to us?
Overall, it seemed that the physical fitness of all those infected with "platinum poisoning" - that is, the Crystal Demon virus - had increased a lot, and the original big and small problems on their bodies had been cured.
However, the demon-like appearance really frightened everyone.
People close to the coastline squinted their eyes and looked into the distance, seeing a large ship with the World Government flag.
Then, they saw dozens of small boats without any flags around the big ship.
These small boats were ahead of the World Government's ships, advancing at an extremely fast speed, and were about to land on the coastline of the Aden Kingdom.
"It's the people from the World Government!"
A young man suddenly said excitedly, "The World Government is here to save us!"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately became excited, "The World Government is finally here! That Four Seas Alliance is not reliable at all!"
After all, their memories still stopped at the moment when the Crystal Demon virus broke out. They did not have a clear perception of the virus itself, after all, not everyone had Hiluluk's strong willpower.
However, as those flagless boats gradually approached, their amazing eyesight seemed to have discovered something different.
Those small boats were not rescue boats. They carried many people, and they didn't look like medical staff. They looked more like...
Pirates?
No, no, no, you must be joking. How could pirates act together with people from the World Government?
People thought that their eyes were not used to this unusual perspective and they were seeing things.
But when those people approached the pier, everyone finally confirmed that they were indeed a group of pirates!
But strangely, the clothes on these pirates were tattered, and some were even wearing prison uniforms, as if they had just been released from prison!
But in contrast, these pirates had every weapon on their bodies, from muskets to sabers.
"That... that..."
The flag of the World Government gave the people of the Aden Kingdom a little courage after all.
They felt that if these pirates really had malicious intentions, the World Government would not let them land directly on the dock.
Therefore, after thinking about it, a young man with more courage stepped forward and asked one of the pirate leaders, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The pirate leader was visibly stunned when he looked at the group of "monsters" in front of him.
Then, he took out a document from his arms with the World Government logo printed on it.
"Ahem, let me say something."
The pirate leader read the document, "You are now suffering from a highly contagious virus. In order to prevent the North Sea from falling, we can only wrong you..."
Having said that, the pirate leader suddenly stopped.
The young man was still waiting for the pirate leader to continue.
He watched as the pirate leader drew out the saber from his waist, and then raised it high.
The next words of the pirate leader were -
"Die for a bit."
Swish!
The saber fell!
...
At the same time, in various parts of the Aden Kingdom.
Those pirates who landed on the docks showed their cleavers!
