The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 989

Chapter 989 Only by Breaking the Rules Can You Truly Be Reborn
A total of 80 elite teams from around the globe had gathered in the original L2 Mystic Realm War Game Base.

Without the influence of advanced technology, the mystic realm revealed its true, unembellished nature.

Everything seemed ordinary once again, simple and unspectacular.

The harsh conditions and deceptive illusions created in the different competition zones had all been illusions, misleading everyone.

In this mystic realm, where perception and thoughts were controlled by digital concepts and rules, the teams had been forced into complete submission to the system, the environment, and the mindless routines.

It was like putting 80 turkeys into a high-tech pen.

Once they entered, they were completely hypnotized and controlled by technology, their actions becoming rigid and predetermined.

They had to live as they were told and die when they were told.

Everything felt so natural, so easy, and so carefree.

Even when the ones in control tried to disrupt the system, the turkeys still didn't want to leave the cage they had mentally adapted to.

This was humanity's tragic flaw.

All pain, fear, and suffering stemmed from their stubborn attachment to the rules they had accepted in their hearts.

Only by breaking free from these limitations and destroying the mental chains could they see that those they had worshipped as gods were merely creators of illusions and manipulators of minds.

This was the key difference between those who blindly followed and the leaders who dared to lead.

Sadly, the majority of people, too hypnotized to break free, chose to remain submissive.

All the commanders and their teams stood motionless, staring at the unremarkable ground, the sky, and the calm breeze and sunlight, which seemed detached from any feelings of happiness or sorrow.

They were in a canyon.

In the L2 mystic realm, high-tech experts had used digital technology and undisclosed advanced sciences to craft a simulated world.

In this world, each person's life and thoughts were integrated into the mystic realm system.

The system's rules were just a technological interpretation of universal principles.

Ironically, even now, the 80 teams still harbored intense resentment toward Dragon Soul's commander-in-chief, Robin, for his final order.

They believed that in this international military competition, Robin, as the head of the Dragon Soul Special Forces, had acted as a destroyer and instigator of conflict from the very beginning.

The core of their complaints against Robin and his team was that he had disrupted the rules.

The foundation of global order was that the established rules had to be respected.

Those who broke them were considered the most dangerous forces.

For example, during the final stages of getting the qualifying tokens in Area Four, Robin's order was to break through the restricted zone and disrupt the game.

His command was seen as reckless and irresponsible.

They felt that if Robin hadn't destroyed the game rules, the teams that had secured their qualifying tokens would not have lost them just because the competition ended prematurely.

This wave of criticism quickly placed Dragon Soul Special Forces and Robin at the center of public outrage.

Alexander, the commander of the Tanqueria Special Forces, approached Robin. "Commander-in-chief Ramsey, even though I consider you an ally, I must express my disappointment with your actions.

"You and your team were excellent throughout the competition, but in the final moments, you made a critical error that cost Dragon Soul Special Forces a chance to make it to the final round."

Robin gave a small smile. "That's your view. From that, it's clear you're not yet on my level to call me an ally."

Alexander shrugged. "Well, we'll see how things unfold.
