Chapter 233 Ripple Effects Of The Fall Of The Pugilist Academy
Gwen Shelter…
The news came like raging fire in harmattan.
Its momentum could not be stopped. Apparently, the Clown Society already planned ahead and had special cells in place to proliferate the news.
As soon as Jon Stones, the widely-recognized strongest Pugilist in Planet Darvis who was also recognized by many as the strongest superhuman on Planet Darvis was confirmed dead, the news spread far and wide.
With the thousands of cells that were planted by the Clown Society, it could not be stopped. In just an hour, the news got to every corner of the planet.
People had different reactions to the news.
Gwen Shelter was one of the medium-sized shelters. At this moment, to battle the cold of the coming winter, a group of civilians stood around a fire.
The smell of roasting fish diffused the air from the burning fire.
"Is this a prank?"
"How can 1 of the 3 main organizations fall?"
"This is definitely a joke, the Pugilist Academy will get those who are spreading the rumors, you better keep your mouth shut to avoid implicating yourself".
"But it's the truth, or else it won't be on everyone's mouths".
While they discussed among themselves, with most of them preferring to stay prudent until things were further verified, they suddenly heard footsteps.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Dozens of men and women were running from the other side in a panic.
This group of civilians were startled as they separated from the burning fire, even as the others kept on running, they listened to what they were yelling.
"The base of the Pugilist Academy…"
"…Gangs…"
"…attack…"
Clearly, these people were so traumatized that they spoke incoherently.
The sight spooked them, they could barely make sense of what was happening, most of them joined the others to escape though they didn't know what was going on.
"What is going on?"
No one answered them.
The bravest of them instead turned to go to where the others were running from. After getting close enough, they got sight of the faraway base of the Pugilist Academy that was one of the ruling powers in the Gwen Shelter.
At this moment, despite the distance separating them, what they could see left their mouths wide opened in shock.
The base of the Pugilist Academy was on fire.
At other directions, they could see different humans who were armed with different weapons storming towards the base of the Pugilist Academy.
Looking closer, they recognized some of the uniforms that these thugs wore.
"The Youth's Roar Gang?!"
"It's a Gang fight!" One of them realized with widened eyes.
All they needed to do was put 2 and 2 and connect the dots, they easily arrived at the reason for this commotion.
They gasped in shock.
For a long time, though there were other organizations in the planet, the 3 Academies were long seen as the most powerful organizations in the planet.
They were widely seen as untouchable and invincible, this built a sense of awe for the Academies within every single human in Planet Darvis.
With the Clown Society now smashing one of the big 3 organizations, not only killing their leader, but laying waste to their headquarters, that image of invincibility was torn away for the first time since its inception.
If the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy could be defeated and laid to waste, then their smaller bases were even easier to destroy and raid.
The Clown Society's actions gave the criminal vices the courage that they needed, now the gangs came out in their numbers to test the theory.
To them, the Pugilist Academy was no longer that gigantic unstoppable Shark. To them, the Pugilist Academy was now an injured Shark who lost his teeth.
The riches of the Pugilist Academy were now up for grabs and they were greedy, it was too much to expect criminals not to be greedy.
The gangs temporarily banded together to overthrow the Pugilist Academy.
Like the Clown Society wanted, they got the chaos that they wanted.
Bam!
The bravest of the group of civilians who turned back were startled as they were suddenly attacked by crazy gangsters of the different gangs.
2 of them were killed before the others reacted.
They reacted, overpowered, and killed the 3 gangsters before taking their weapons. The next moment, they broke into a nearby shop.
"To survive, we need to steal essentials and livestock till this chaos passes".
Theft, murder, robberies, ****, they became normal occurrence on this momentous day in Gwen Shelter as hundreds of lives were lost.
In the end, the base of the Pugilist Academy was burned to the ground. Few Pugilists who worked there were able to escape.
After the base of the Pugilist Academy, they went after the base of the Elementalist and Summoner Academies but these ones fared better.
They locked themselves inside their bases and defended with their lives.
Planet Darvis was dragged into the so-called order of chaos.
Not only Gwen Shelter, literally all the shelters were drawn into chaos.
Wars, deaths, cannibalism, murder, they were all essential to the development of superhumans. In the Clown Society's ideology, this chaotic environment was the right environment for supers to grow and exceed their limits.
The premise was not entirely wrong as just after a few hours after the chaos started, champions who thrived through the chaos and killing started appearing.
These champions arrived after stepping over the death of hundreds of corpses, both vulnerable women, the vulnerable old, and young children.
The lawful organizations vastly underestimated the influence and power of the Clown Society, with their masterstroke in the Western Continent, they were able to set the whole planet ablaze without using more of their forces.
All the lawful organizations mobilized in their numbers to curb the chaos.
While all the attention was drawn to the chaos, less attention was given to the royal palace where another disaster was about to go down.
After going under the radar which took him much more time to arrive at his destination, Black Master Abaddon finally arrived at the Darvis royal palace.
More disaster and chaos were on the way.
Today was a day that Planet Darvis won't forget quickly.
