Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God
Chapter 165: Startling All Parties

A few moments before the Palace of Horrors' final events, the World of Promise was in a state of alarm. The factions belonging to all core powers turned their sights towards the Novice Zone, many of them having looks of unease and curiosity, while uncertainty now loomed over those directly related to the problem.

These core forces from Earth and the various worlds whose geniuses had entered the beginner dungeon had also started to show drastic movements because of a startling scene in the Novice Zone.

Looking towards the sky of one of its most famous beginner villages, the Winfrey Village, one would notice that the blue portal connecting to another world was glowing in a menacing color, almost as if it were corrupted. If one looked at the sky, they would notice that it had now transitioned to a dark hue as even the stars, vaguely visible during the daytime, had vanished.

While this was quite worrying, what came after the sudden change was an even more alarming notification that sounded across the entire Novice Zone.

Many individuals' faces turned pale to the repeating notification, even more so for associates and family of those who entered the Dungeon. They noticed that the portal had started to show signs of cracks as the system said those words.

"This... what the hell is going on? What happened to the Dungeon?" One Digitizer said in alarm as he stared up above.

"Damn! What's going on in there? Where's my son?" A man said as he had come from the Upper Zones specifically to replace out what was going on.

Many other powerful characters were also visible in the crowds of the Winfrey Village square. There were famous and influential figures, along with Guiders from powerful clans and associations, both on the side of humanity and other races their alliance.

Naturally, Raynas was amongst the crowd; his eyes were most worried as he stared at the sky with a pale face as a voice ruthlessly cursed from an earpiece on his left earlobe.

"HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN? I LEFT YOU IN CHARGE OF MY LITTLE ELLY, SO YOU BETTER BRING HER BACK TO ME!!!!" Madame Balkras said from the other end, her voice sounding curse and angry.

Raynas trembled at this as he tried to explain himself, "But mother, I don't..."

It was clear that Raynas wanted to explain himself, but being in a furious state and the very source of Elly's manner, Madame Balkras interrupted with another furious shout, "DON'T BUT ME!! HURRY AND BRING HER OUUUUT!!!!"

Raynas sighed; he didn't want to argue with his mother; he knew that the more he said, the angrier she would get, and right now, his mind was torn as he had no idea how to save Elly. Right now, he wanted nothing more than a breakthrough from this mess.

'Why the hell did something like this have to happen right now? This damn system better not harm my sister or god so help me; I'll replace a way to destroy it!'

With his furious cry in his thoughts, Raynas released a terrifying power that had surpassed the limits of the Novice Zone, the world around shaking due to huge ripples as it brought a startle to quite a few prying eyes.

"Hmm, that boy, he's that Iron Wall Raynas of one of those Upper Zone Balkras Clan. His strength has grown quite splendid over these recent years..." An alien with different colored skin and long-tail said.

"Mm, not only him, but look, most of those rising rookies are here, even that Blissful Flame Fox of the Spirit Foxes have come personally; it seems someone important had entered this time's beginner dungeon trial. Such a pity, things had to turn out like this..." A sharked teeth man said as his skin was scaly and blue, his eyes fixed onto a seductive beauty with a plump orange and white foxtail in a crowd of individuals when he said those words.

At this man's side was a mysterious woman of similar skin, her blue eyes shining with bright thunderbolt as her short glowing hair continuously rose above her head, her entire body emanating a dense amount of electricity. Her eyes were previously fixed onto the ominous portal that was slowly broken apart; but soon, her fist clenched tightly, she bit her lips, calming herself before she turned her attention to the same group.

"Maybe so, it seems we've gotten quite the company already."

The sharked teeth man nodded in agreement as he saw that along with the fox beauty, many other individuals had surrounded Village Chief Pam, cursing away in anger.

"Hmm, who's that, I can't feel is magic power?" The shark teeth man asked as he saw what seemed like a man wrapped from head to toe in cloth, covered by a robe with complex patterns.

"I'm not sure; he doesn't' have the aura of any token, so it's likely that he's not a human," The woman said with a serious look in her eyes.

As if the person in question sensed them, he lifted his head to glance at them, his eyes showing a set of odd runes that filled them with dread before it returned to normal.

"That… those runes, could he be?" Both the sharked teeth man and blue thunder woman thought in alarm, they stared at each other, but neither continued their thoughts any further as if by agreement.

At this moment, the man stared at the portal with flickering eyes before returning to normal. He then thought to himself with a strange look on his face.

'Fate's markings aren't severed, so your destiny won't end here, child…'

After the man's thoughts finished, his figure vanished into nothingness as if he was never here from the beginning. Naturally, no one else noticed his arrival and departure; this goes for even those who were still cursing away at the distracted Madame Pan, who carried a thoughtful expression.

"Madame Pam, what the heck is going with your world's system? You better not tell me that this is normal!" A slender human dressed in a high-class combat suit said, his hair blond, his eyes blue and mustache curled, giving him a noble air.

"Oh, be quiet, you should know that even the natives wouldn't necessarily have a grasp on the Universe Ring."

The Blissful Flame Fox said. Her almond-shaped eyes were glancing at him with mock as she leaned her curvy figure covered in a scanty white dress to one side, her hair falling down her neck.

"Hmph! Like I'd want to be advised by the likes of you foxes, you're all no different from a prostitute." The man said as he glanced at her.

Blissful Flame Fox frowned as she stared at the man with a set of cold-looking eyes, the air here soon turning a bit tense as if a battle would start, but before that could happen, a voice sounded.

"Paul Newman, why don't you just calm that attitude of yours? I'm sure no one else in that family of yours or that society is that arrogant in the Upper Zones."

"Who said that?" Paul said as he angrily turned towards the source, but his eyes widened as the culprit walked up to his face.

"Well, it's me; want to do something about it?" Yullia said as she stood before him, her dress right now much different from the outside as she wore a tight-fitting, revealing battle mage dress with armor only at the core areas.

"D-D-Dark Witch, d-d-don't think that because of your rank, you can just shame anyone from the Hatman Society. Y-y-you should do well to remember that I am also a Newman," Paul said as he said in a flustered manner, but he tried his best to keep a haughty tone.

"A Newman? So what? I can crush that little stick between your legs, all the same, care to replace out?" Yullia said with a red gleam in her eyes.

Paul trembled as he gritted his teeth and backed away, no longer trying to keep up a big front. A few other big-timers looked at him with mock, as some jeered silently.

"Hmph! Useless," Yullia muttered, no longer paying him any mind; she glanced at Blissful Flame Fox, who smiled at her with a greeting before nodding. However, Yullia wasn't feeling in a good mood; her eyes glanced at the portal with worry as she thought to herself.

'What the hell is happening right now? Was my lucky little handsome born under a bad star?'

Yullia thought with problematic eyes, trying to calm down her urge to punch a hole into a mountain. Much like her, even Village Chief Pan, who bared the brunt of everyone's ire, frowned as she stood in the square, her eyes gazing above with an edgy look as she thought.

'This isn't right, a malfunction, how could this happen under that beings watch? I feel that this situation might be more...'

Village Chief Pan was about to think something, but suddenly, her eyes narrowed as she turned her attention to the portal. Not only herself but Yullia, Raynas, and all the others gathered glanced upwards with worry and expectation as at this moment, a bright series of light shone from the portal as a new change occurred.
