It's not that Overwatch's attitude wasn't tough enough before.
However, the level of toughness shown by the Watchers this time is on a completely different level than before.
When internal strife breaks out among humanity, the Watchmen are like a sleeping tiger; their mere slumber is enough to instill a sense of oppression.
Perhaps this has been going on for too long, leading many to have the misconception that the Watchers only have this much time left.
But when the extraordinary creature appeared and made its full move this time, many were suddenly awakened.
They were wrong before.
Absolutely wrong!
Upon discovering the demon lords' invasion, even a powerful force like the Silver Council initially opted to prioritize self-preservation and observation.
The Watchers' reaction, however, was entirely different; it could even be described as ferocious.
Will the invading demon lord retreat on its own?
No, it won't happen.
They would only suppress their urge to kill and leave when they felt their lives were threatened.
Before anyone else could react, in less than a minute, more than thirty legends appeared in the disaster-stricken areas.
More than thirty legendary figures who have concealed their identities!
They sent the demon lord straight back to the abyss!
Among these legendary figures, there are even those who transcend the realm of legend!
Just like when things first broke out, everything ended very quickly.
The battles around the area lasted less than ten minutes before ending abruptly, with the most seriously injured demon lord nearly dying.
After driving away all the demon lords, the mysterious legends did not pursue the Abyss, but also disappeared.
Next, the Watchers took direct control of the four disaster-stricken areas and began to handle the situation step by step.
What chills others to the bone is the Watchers' meticulous and detailed set of guidelines for responding to the situation.
Everything proceeded too naturally, as if it had been expected all along, with almost every detail taken into account, and a very complete system in place.
At this time, those forces that still harbored illusions realized a truth: compared to the sleeping tiger, the Watchers were more like a giant machine.
It has once again revealed a corner of the truth to the outside world.
This is a terrifying machine built from every operator as a cog in a machine under extreme dominance!
For the Watchers, they have now entered a state of war, no longer maintaining the loose attitude they had before.
But ultimately, some awakened individuals could not accept such an inhumane approach and refused to acknowledge that everything would be forgotten and forgotten.
They built a cemetery for those innocent souls who died without authorization.
Because there were too many people, it was impossible to create individual tombstones, so the names of the victims were engraved directly on a huge tombstone.
Faced with such a move, the members of the Watchers unexpectedly remained silent; they neither agreed nor opposed it.
Instead, they silently watch over the situation to prevent any other accidents from happening.
Song Yishun's tombstone is not here.
It wasn't because he didn't die immediately that he was excluded from the count, but because Tataka removed his tombstone separately.
This stubborn dwarf awakened one carried Song Yishun's body away from this place that had caused him so much sorrow.
"Of course I know what I'm doing!"
"Yes! I'm going to take him away from here!"
"He...he shouldn't be here!"
Like a wounded beast, he refused any help and forcibly took Song Yishun's body away from Fencheng.
Without any help, Tataka alone built a tombstone for his friend on the mountain with the highest honors in dwarven tradition.
To forge a steel tombstone by hand!
"It was my fault."
“I shouldn’t have agreed to let you resign and go back; otherwise, you wouldn’t have seen that scene.”
If he hadn't agreed then, or even unilaterally allowed to go back directly, Song Yishun wouldn't have witnessed that scene.
if……
"No, I..."
The middle-aged man choked back a sob, his eyes red-rimmed, and lowered his head in remorse, whispering hoarsely to the tombstone:
"I shouldn't have brought you into this world that doesn't belong to me in the first place."
I shouldn't have agreed to your request in the first place; instead, I should have let you stay in the world of ordinary people.
In that case...
"That way, at least you won't be in so much... pain."
Often, being ignorant is not a bad thing; the more you know, the more painful it becomes.
Tataka slowly rose from the ground and said hoarsely:
"It's my fault that you're in this situation."
In the past, he had faced the death of friends many times, but none of them had caused him such heartache as this one.
Song Yishun was not a soldier, and the relationship between the two was more like that of an elder and a beloved junior than friends.
And now, he is just a pitiful old man who has lost his descendants.
With bloodshot eyes, Tataka could no longer shed tears.
After three days of suppression, his heart was filled not only with pain, but also with anger.
Like ore being constantly heated in a furnace, it turned into crimson fury!
And this anger needs to be vented!
The dwarves, who had once decided to step back, have once again taken up their warhammers.
“I resigned from my position in the union federation, and I knew I finally had to do something.”
He picked up the flask and tucked it into his waistband, then forcefully lifted the warhammer that was underneath and carried it behind his back.
"I want to go to the front lines."
Tataka was once a pure battle maniac; besides indulging in alcohol, his greatest joy was fighting.
Fighting against the strong, charging through crowds, bleeding and getting hurt, and finding pleasure in it.
Back then, people kept advising him to stop and rest, and he might still be on the battlefield now.
Unfortunately, the person who was able to dissuade Tataka from taking the risk is now lying six feet below him.
"Sorry kid, I have to break my promise too..."
"I'm going to kill them!"
His murderous intent gradually swelled, but he ultimately suppressed it.
"Endless slaughter..."
"Until I avenge you."
He stepped forward and silently patted the tombstone forcefully.
Finally, Tataka turned around and strode down the mountain.
"I will come to see you again."
Filled with rage, Tataka never looked back.
However, Tataka did not notice that shortly after he left, a figure appeared in front of Song Yishun's tombstone.
A tall and slender figure.
Unlike Tataka, he didn't talk to himself. His hooded figure stood silently, raising his hand to gently touch the top edge of the tombstone.
After a long while, he sighed and took out two crystal wine glasses.
The wine glass, filled with liquid, was placed on a tombstone made of iron and stone, in a style reminiscent of dwarves.
Ning Feng lowered his head and whispered to the departed hero:
"I promised you, this is just the first step."
Then lift the glass and gently touch it.
