Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

If we were to find a real culprit for this catastrophe, Charles VII would probably be ranked in the top two.

If he had any prejudice against Charles VII because he was in the Kingdom of Bryston, then after listening to his conversation with the Secretary of the Navy, Todd Ruth, the only remaining prejudice was completely shattered.

Millions of people died tragically because of his selfishness, greed, and ambition. If it weren't for his cruel plan, he would be dining with Mr. and Mrs. Tulin, who would be planning to return to Brusiana to spend their old age; there wouldn't be so many workhouses in Docklands that were ostensibly charities but were actually sweatshops; and that unknown little girl might have grown up healthy.

There are only three and a half minutes left before One Punch Man is possessed. Zhou Ning stands at the gate of Darkland Fortress. The gate is closed and two rows of armed Braxton soldiers raise their flintlock rifles and aim at Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning ignored them completely. Looking at the purple-blue gas shield covering the entire fortress, he pulled his right arm back and punched out with force.

"boom!"

The entire fortress seemed to tremble, and a large amount of rubble fell down, and the entire purple-blue air shield instantly shattered into countless small pieces. The heavy gate of the Darklan Fortress collapsed with a loud noise.

Zhou Ning didn't even look at the group of soldiers. He put his white silk hat back on his head, put one hand in his pocket, walked through them and entered the open door. During this process, no one dared to shoot.

“See, this is deterrence!”

"Brother Wayne is awesome!"

The players talked about it and followed Zhou Ning proudly.

After entering the Darklan Fortress, Zhou Ning could feel that there were many eyes hidden in the dark watching him, including super-level beings and demigods. Along the way, Zhou Ning saw many undead wandering around. It was obvious that the Ascendant Ritual just now took away more than just the lives of civilians.

When passing the corridor on the right, Zhou Ning paused unconsciously. He could feel the breath of John and Huggins, which was the breath unique to the undead, dark and chaotic.

Through the art of astrology, John had anticipated Huggins's death, but as an ordinary person, he still couldn't withstand the invasion of the Ascendant Ritual.

Zhou Ning's cheeks twitched slightly. He quickened his pace, stepped onto the stairs leading to the top of the fortress tower, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

There are some things he has to do, otherwise his thoughts won't flow.

As for the consequences, he didn't think about it, nor was he too lazy to think about it.

Atop the fortress tower, Charles VII stood quietly, flanked by his close aide, Todd Russ, and two official Braxton demigods, all looking at him warily. They had all witnessed Zhou Ning's blow to Marilyn's chest, and their toes were clenched with nervousness.

At this time, Charles VII's body swelled up again, and his height exceeded twelve meters. His whole body was filled with violent energy, and the outline of his face began to transform into half of a mythical creature, covered with layers of uneven scales, becoming abstract, incomprehensible, and difficult to look at directly.

This transformation will continue until he truly becomes a god.

Having witnessed the entire scene, Charles VII had no confidence at all when facing Zhou Ning. He felt angry and a little scared at the moment. He had no idea what the other party wanted or what he wanted to do.

He used his strength to keep the ceremony going, then turned to look at Zhou Ning with a sincere smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you, Wayne Stewell. I just saw your performance here, it was brilliant. On behalf of the Kingdom of Bryston, I thank you for your outstanding contribution."

Zhou Ning walked towards him step by step without saying a word, clenching his right fist so tightly that it made a creaking sound.

Charles VII's smile began to become a little forced: "Sterwell, I think we can talk."

Zhou Ning kept walking, curled his lips, and said in a cold voice:

"What to talk about? The bad weather? Or what we had for dinner tonight?"

"We can discuss some interesting topics, such as the matter of your becoming a Clan-trained Noble. Brown Lambert and Adam Aiden have just died, and there are two vacant seats in the twenty-four Clan-trained Houses. With your contributions, you are more than enough to become one of them."

"No, I refuse."

Zhou Ning shook his head and walked through the crowd. His eyes were calm as he suddenly quickened his pace, swung his fist, and struck out!

From the top of the Dockland Fortress, a tower rarely visited by anyone, a deafening bang erupted. Before anyone could register what had happened, Charles VII was sent flying through the air. Then, his massive form exploded with a bang, turning to dust, leaving only a plume of black smoke dancing wildly in the air.

A prompt came from the panel:

You killed King Charles VII of the Kingdom of Braxton (lv97), and gained 772000 experience points.

[Your reputation in the Kingdom of Braxton has been reduced, but due to the title of Darklan Legend, your reputation in Darklan remains: Exalted.]

[Because you have greatly changed the course of history, you have been rewarded with 225 Time Travel Coins!]

Darkland Legend? Zhou Ning looked at the title and shook his head.

There are no legends in Docklands.

"Wayne..." Sherlock and others who had just climbed onto the city wall happened to see this scene. They all took a breath, looked at Zhou Ning with complicated eyes, and pulled out their guns and pointed them at him.

"How dare you assassinate the king!" In front, an official demigod was the first to react. He was shocked and angry, and a white spear of light condensed in his hand, and he was about to throw it towards Zhou Ning.

He was an official veteran demigod of Brighton, with extraordinary strength. However, facing his attacks, the opponent's eyes remained calm, without even a hint of contempt.

The next moment, his hand and the spear were caught by a single hand, and another punch came towards him.

Zhou Ning's punch was just a light one, but it was still extremely heavy. The veteran demigod's head buzzed and flew into the air, turning into a bloody mist on the spot.

Crisp and neat.

Just as the other official demigod was about to take action, he was swept by Zhou Ning's indifferent eyes. He immediately lost all his arrogance, stepped back neatly, and pretended that he didn't see anything.

Zhou Ning took a deep breath and looked forward.

The design of Docklands Fortress is very exquisite. After climbing 149 steps to the top of the city wall, you will reach the Hedstone Tower, named after the royal family's surname "Hedstone", on which stands the Falrick Bell, the symbol of Docklands.

This bell is known as the heart of Darkland. It was designed by the famous alchemist Augustus and is only allowed to be played during parliament or when offering sacrifices to gods.

Zhou Ning ignored everyone else and climbed up the stairs one step at a time under the gaze of everyone. He produced a large bouquet of flowers in his hand and placed it in front of the Fariq Bell.

Then he struck the bell hard, twelve times in a row, and the bell began to shake gradually.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

This is a condolence to the Turins, to my friend John, to the little girl, and to all the dead. I hope they can hear it in heaven.

A large group of players stood behind Zhou Ning, their expressions varied. Though the new patch lasted only a short time, the participants felt a surge of engagement and immersion. They were completely immersed in the story, their protagonist image elevated to a whole new level. He sympathized with the weak, was unafraid of the powerful, and was willing to speak up for the underdog. Most importantly, he was also the best character to the players, bar none.

If people were to vote for the coolest and most charismatic character in gaming history, Wayne Stewell would most likely be elected unanimously.

It was not until this time that new prompts appeared on the game panels of all players, including Zhou Ning.
