The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Legends are unattainable for most people, and among the highest echelons of most organizations.

But the same is true for the Watchers.

While legends are certainly dangerous to this behemoth, they pose a limited threat to it.

Those qualified to be here have all dealt with no fewer than a dozen disasters caused by legends, and are extremely experienced.

"That's a common tactic of supernatural beings; they won't sacrifice too many lives!"

"Hold on to the first wave of attacks! They will retreat soon."

Over the course of thousands of years, extraordinary beings have made similar reactions before, but each time it was all bark and no bite.

The legends of extraordinary beings are not those of idiots.

Aside from a few extreme fanatics, they would deliberately avoid cities where Watchmen branches were stationed and would generally appear in the suburbs far from the city.

After causing destruction in several remote locations, they would quickly retreat, rarely staying long, for fear of being captured by the enraged humans.

Therefore, aside from disgusting people, this approach actually achieves very limited results.

However... things don't always go as planned.

winter!

In the chaos, a water glass slammed down on the table, its metal casing making a loud bang.

The loud noise even silenced the noisy space for a moment, and everyone looked at the person who had reacted.

In their eyes, the operator at the branch office was trembling, his expression somewhat blank.

"Hey! What's wrong with you!?"

Suddenly snapping back to reality, the operator, disregarding everything else, shouted loudly:

"Legendary... Above legend! A saint from an extraordinary being has made a move!"

The sage has made his move.

At this moment, even the most thick-skinned person should have noticed the problem.

This time, the situation is different.

The saint has truly made his move!

The suffocating silence lasted only a moment before the entire room was engulfed in a sea of noise.

"Is that true!?"

"confirm!"

"A second Saint's magical energy fluctuations have been detected!"

"Where are the demons?! What's the Abyss's reaction this time?"

"No! The Abyss not only didn't react, it even actively sealed itself off."

"Tsk! Whatever those demons are doing, don't let your guard down!"

They roared!

I wish I could be a little faster!

"Quickly! Withdraw the previous notification!"

"Don't hesitate!"

"This is an unprecedented situation!"

"The world needs us to play a role!"

Soon, the room returned to its previous order, and everything seemed calm.

But everyone could sense something was amiss; beneath the calm surface lay a turbulent undercurrent!

Not a single idiot is qualified to be here.

They are well aware of what the current situation means.

This was not the first time the Sage had appeared in their sight, but it was the first time that the Stargazer had not given them a warning beforehand.

Without the support of the Watchful City, they felt a sense of unease.

This is unusual!

This time, something is definitely not right!

Maybe……

The decisive battle is truly about to begin.

The moment that will determine the fate of humanity is fast approaching.

"Notify all branches!"

"warn!"

"Please activate the highest level of alert immediately!"

"Notify all branches! Activate the highest level of alert!"

"I'll say it again! This is not a drill!"

"The highest level of extraordinary beings has been changed from Legendary to Saint-level!"

"This attack is tentatively named—[The Saints' Rebellion]!"

"Please immediately guide the crowd to the shelters!"

"immediately!

! ”

……

Behind all the busy operators, a tall figure stood quietly watching with his hands behind his back.

He didn't participate, nor was he anxious or angry about the situation; he simply watched.

Looking at the chaotic scene before me.

Augustus squinted, his blue eyes devoid of emotion, watching the expressions on everyone's faces.

There was anger, fear, panic... as well as confusion, disbelief, and chaos.

The Watchers have been preparing for a long time.

I've been preparing for this for a long time.

In an era when everyone believed the gods had vanished, only the Watchers, under Alice's leadership, continued to prepare for the war following the gods' return.

While the Silver Council began to corrupt and degenerate, focusing solely on pleasure, the Watchers continued to uphold their ancient maxims.

Watch over the world, watch over humanity.

They are the bulwark before disaster, existing to protect and created to save the vast majority of ordinary people.

Even so, when disaster actually struck, the Watchers still experienced a degree of chaos within their ranks.

The Rebellion of the Saints has broken out, so what will be the next step?

Is the divine coming?

When the gods descend, will the struggles of mortals really be of any use?

"........."

Augustus pondered silently; his heart was not as calm as it appeared, but rather burning like a furnace.

He hesitated, silently contemplating his next choice.

What are you thinking about?

A gentle voice, devoid of any malice, interrupted Augustus's thoughts.
