Chapter 98: CHAPTER 98 – Changes.
An S-ranked special gate, the most dangerous gate in the world was one of the hottest topics right now.
There are many reasons behind it, but almost all of them were related to the Crimson Lotus guild and Alex.
The video of Alex suppressing the reporters was already viral with who knows how many millions of views. There were already 100s of fan clubs being made every hour, just for Alex.
There were many questioning things happening all over the world, but the biggest question right now would be – Would the Crimson Lotus Guild come out Alive or dead?
There was a large crowd already standing outside the gate for a long time after the video went viral, but after some hours, the crowd dissipated.
But there were still many reporters waiting outside, after all, it was the first time in history that someone had tried to enter an S-rank gate with just three S-rank raiders.
Slowly time passed and night came by, but the reporters still stayed. It was no new thing for them, they had to pull all-nighters many times.
By morning some reporters had gone back, but some stayed behind. The ones who had more knowledge and had studied a lot about gates knew that some raids take time, which means this scouting mission might also take time.
The day was going just fine but suddenly.....
*Boom*

A low muffled boom was heard and before they could focus or pinpoint where it came from, a huge shockwave pushed them away from the gate.
The reporters were sent flying away by the shockwave that was produced from the gate, but the shockwave didn't stop.
The reporters that were sent flying through the air were lying unconscious on the ground, oblivious to the changes taking place in their bodies.
Just think how big of a shock they were going to receive when they realized that all of their raider ranks had gone up by one rank at least.
The shockwave moved outward from the gate in a circular shape, and it kept increasing in size.
Although no one other than the reporters near the gate felt the push from the shockwave, they could all feel the air getting clearer and it was getting easier to breathe.
But it didn't end there as wherever the shockwave passed, people started awakening, and the number of people awakening was not low, it was the opposite actually.
The wave kept widening, and slowly it started covering the whole planet, awakening many people all over Gaia.
But it was not just awakening that was happening, some raiders had reached the peak of S-rank or got a little push and stepped into SS-rank, some A-rank raiders became S-rankers, and some B-rankers became A-rankers, but everyone got some kind of boosts.
However, if there is good, then there is more bad along with it.
Just like the humans, the beasts also received the same boosts, and the number of awakened beasts increased as well.
Still, with the number of raiders awakening it won't be hard for them to fight off the beasts, so it wasn't that much of a problem, rather there were now going to be more beasts with mana core which meant more profit for humans.
But as said before, bad things that come with good things are always greater than good things.
Just like that, the shockwave that was produced by the gate, passed through the whole world, only stopping when the wave crashed back into itself.
But as if it was just the beginning, Gaia trembled....
.......................................…..
Argon Hart had been in seclusion for a month, that's what was known to everyone, but no one knew what it was.
However, that was the truth as Argon was actually in seclusion. He would train his abilities sometimes, and sometimes he would sit in a meditative position and absorb mana from the mana cores.
Just like every day, Argon had done his daily workout, and he was absorbing mana from the last mana core his empire had.
Yes, he had emptied his treasury of any mana core it had but he was still not an SSS-ranker, he was just a little push away from reaching the SSS-rank.
But right now, he was on a plane, moving towards the orange country.
He had heard the report from his 'subordinate' that Alex and the group had entered the special gate, so he was going to get close to the gate since he didn't want to miss the profits provided by the gate.
He knew that Alex and the group were not supposed to move this fast but since the timeline was messed up, he didn't dwell too much and decided to do whatever he could to make use of the knowledge he had.
But just then the shockwave that was produced by the special S-rank gate passed through him.
*Woosh*
His rank increased and he became an SSS-ranker in an instant, but his eyes snapped open in shock.
The shock in his eyes was not the shock someone gets due to happiness, no, far from it.
Argon was shocked because even when he tried to go with the flow, things changed again.
Aurora, who was also there with him, was no better, though she was less shocked.
"How did they clear the gate already....?" Argon mumbled to himself.
He knew how strong the boss of this gate was supposed to be, and he knew how long it would take for someone to clear the gate, but Alex and the group again did something that was not supposed to happen.
Argon, after everything, still didn't know how powerful Alice and Alex actually were.
Argon grabbed his hair in frustration.
Why is nothing doing the way he wants?! This is all he wanted to know.
After being frustrated for a while, Argon just sighed...
He had realized many things in the last three months, he could tell that there was something weird about Alex, and weird always means dangerous.
He felt that Alex was not the…...same? He couldn't understand why, but Alex looked very dangerous.
Everything surrounding Alex was strange in this timeline, he even went so far ahead as thinking that maybe this Alex is not the same as the one in the past timeline, but this idea was quickly shot down by himself.
He was not going to think that Alex was now fine and they were cool, no. He was going to get his revenge for the last timeline, whether it was the same Alex or not.
Then there was Alice, he knew he couldn't get her till Alex was out of the equation.
"Things are changing too much...." Argon spoke and although Aurora didn't want to, she had to agree with that.
"It's too early for this world to face him," Aurora spoke but there was no reply from Argon.
He knew that Aurora's words were true and the entity they were talking about was strong enough to kill him right now with one slap.
But then...
*Tremble*
Argon looked out of the plane's window and found the whole earth trembling.
"The earthquakes…." Argon muttered with a serious face.
"It's starting…." Argon murmured again while he gripped the seat hard to stop his hand from trembling.
Aurora could see all that, she knew that being scared was justified for Argon, and she also had a serious expression on her face as they both knew what was happening.
