Chapter 490 Victory
It took a lot from them to achieve it.
It took a lot of sacrifices to achieve it.
To the survivors, it took dying once to achieve it.
It took defeating death to achieve it, but yes, the Bug Emperor was dead.

With a stunned look on his face, Legolas looked at the numerous notifications that his game interface just spammed him with.
The reward from this kill was the highest that he had ever received in one sitting. '2 billion Experience Points, it feels nice looking at the zeroes man…'
'Besides, these characters summon cards, they're not like the previous ones that I got that I quicky outgrew, the Calamity Grade is a huge milestone'.
'They're sure to be relevant to me for a very long time'.
'Besides, Slayer of Calamity Grades, what a fitting end to this crazy quest…' He almost felt like collapsing on the ground immediately to fully savor the effects of this victory, he was overwhelmed.
He looked at the lifeless body of the Bug Emperor and felt complicated.
It was while looking at the dead body of the gigantic Bug that something happened, the next moment, what seemed like a Psychic current swept everywhere across this large battlefield.
After the fall of the Bug Emperor, all the other tens of millions of Bugs that were spread across Planet Darvis stopped fighting.
They did nothing as they seemed to be experiencing a glitch, they just levitated in the air and as this psychic current now swept past, they all collapsed.
Tens of millions of Bugs collapsed in the ground dead.
"…!"
Shock rippled across this battlefield.
Shocked and traumatized warriors stared with disbelief in their eyes. The fall of the Bug Emperor still felt like an unrealistic dream to them, it was when all these Bugs fell dead that the truth finally settled in.
"We won…" It first came as a mere whisper.
"We won!" It soon rose in intensity.
"WE WON!!!" Then it turned into a victory chant.
Warriors collapsed on the ground as they cried tears of joy.
It was victory at last.
"We won!" Lucky, Christensen, everyone was ecstatic.
During those last few hours to minutes, they had witnessed death so close that they never expected it to be such a fairytale ending. There were sacrifices, a lot of people died but this ending seemed like a fairytale to them.
"We won!"
Amid the celebrations, Legolas' game interface lit up again.

As his students and his adopted son came to hug him, Legolas welcomed them even as one word resonated in his mind.
