The last battle of Heallance was played everywhere. TV, ads, and most big websites on internet. In just a few days, the official site's video got more than five hundred million views. Since it was viral and the video was spread, it could make a total of one billion views if they were put together.
One thing that made it popular was obvious. It was because of The Faceless Phantom. However, there is more than meets the eye.
There was one video that made every players all around the world flipped.
***
The video showed after the pillar of light was faded. There was a text on the bottom left side of the video which said: "Normal Frequency"
The video kept playing and the scene was the same until the Faceless Phantom and Beleth disappeared into the portal.
After that, the video was looping, but this time the text was: "Ghost Frequency"
The video showed the same scene where the pillar of light was faded. Then something surprising was happening afterwards.
A deep cracked voice could be heard.
It was The Faceless Phantom.
It spoke to Beleth.
"You... What did you do?" The Phantom asked.
"You will know later." Beleth threw the cubic back to the Phantom, and it floated beside its shoulder. "As The Grand Change will commence."
Suddenly, a fireball was shot out of nowhere toward Beleth. Alas, he swung his hand and the fireball vanished. He stretched his right hand toward somewhere on his right without looking, and then black fireball was shot straight toward the one who attacked him.
BOOM!
An Elf screamed as he was burned and turned into ash. Witnessing such terror, the battlefield was in complete silent. As if, a cinematic event was happening right at the moment and everyone was watching.
"Insignificant being... All of you have no power against me. All of you shall worship me instead...as this world will be mine." Beleth looked at the Phantom who was standing in front of him. "I will be your God in this world."
"Pfffttthh..." The Phantom scoffed loudly.
Everyone was frozen as they saw the Phantom shook its head and shoulder.
"Hehahaha..."
The Faceless Phantom softly laughed, and it was slowly getting louder as its face teared to create a wide mouth.
"HahahaHAhahaHAHAhahaHAHAHAHA...
KHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA..."
Beleth looked confused and wondered why the Phantom was laughing hard. Then, eventually, the Phantom spoke.
"You? A God? You know what's the definition of God?
If there is a God, then He has to be one only.
He is the absolute.
He has no partner, nor even parents and children.
And there's nothing comparable to him.
He is beyond imagination, perfect without a single weakness, has the authority over all things, the all-knowing, the immortal and eternal, invincible, and of course cannot die.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Those are some definition of True God who is worthy of worship. For He is the sustainer of everything. He doesn't even need us, we need Him.
But you... Do we need you? The world works fine without you."
Beleth's face became sour and both tips of his lips went down.
"I can see your weakness. I can see your soul."
The Faceless Phantom suddenly stabbed Beleth who let his guard down while staying still in a deep thought about what he just heard.
"You are no God. You couldn't see this coming, did you? I can kill you."
A portal was created behind Beleth. His eyes widened as he was surprised. And then the Phantom immediately pushed its sword while ramming him, making them entered the portal together.
Once they went through the portal, it disappeared within thin air.

Everyone was shocked. Their jaw dropped low and they got goosebumps after watching the video.
‒ What the fuck!? They didn't say anything when I was there. Is this video edited?
‒ It seems someone has so much free time. I'm shocked a lot of people got baited lmao
‒ This is not a fucking joke. This creeps me out. What the heck!
‒ What is this ghost frequency thing?
‒ Dude! I tried to edit the official video and changed the frequency as well. And they're actually speaking! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?
‒ Shit! I don't believe in supernatural things IRL, but this video convinces me to believe in it!
‒ The plot thickens! Damn! I didn't expect this at all!
Despite all the uproar, they were still amazed by The Faceless Phantom for sacrificing itself to push Beleth into the portal and saved Heallance. Because of that, several questions arise:
‒ Where's the portal heading to?
‒ Are they still alive?
‒ Will there be a Faceless Phantom comeback event? Or maybe Beleth will be the one who's back?
Regardless, no one truly knows.
Ever since The Dark Army Event happened, a lot of people wondered about the race called Aphu. The majority of players who badmouthed the race became intrigued after witnessing how strong the Dark Army was. And the data showed that there was a significant increase about people choosing Aphu as their character.
Heallance changed into a new direction.
It also happened the same with NPCs. All human kingdoms stood together and they created an alliance. They posted several quests regarding Uruzak and The Dark Army, and also the disappearance of Traitor Falter and the unknown Cult. In addition, there were quests about the inhumane slavery which concerned Savanh and Atalancia as well.
Thus, Heallance was unified and a new era was rising.

A man and a woman were walking toward scorching barren land.
The woman had long blonde hair and she was wearing a maid outfit.
The man had short black hair and he was wearing light armor with black coat.
They stepped toward the edge of a cliff. In the distance, a lone castle could be seen in the middle of dark forest.
"Lord Ryker..." The woman spoke softly in elegant manner. "I have detected a lot of demons ahead."
Ryker lips went up as he grabbed the hilt of his sword that was strapped on his waist.
Shining silver long sword was crying as it was unsheathed and being swung once.
"Good. I need a warm up before I face the Demon King."

Crystal Crater
Within the battlefield, a lot of body could be seen scattered here and there. It seemed they were being left alone because no one knew about them. Still, it was saddening that they didn't get buried.
There were also several equipments, mostly swords which were stabbed into the ground. As if, they became a reminder that a great war was once happened within the area.
Somewhere on the grim landscape, there was a body of a man with black clothes. He had a wide hole on his chest. But then, slowly, the hole was healed.
Once it was fully closed, his eyelids moved.
The man in black opened his eyes, and they were glowing menacingly.

A misty frozen tundra was spread as long as the eyes could see. Each snow created a line of strange mist in the air as it was falling down within the blizzard.
In the middle of harsh white scenery, a man was piggybacking someone and struggling to walk on the thick snow. His pale cheeks and nose were red, and his lips were blue because of the cold. Snow was covering his wavy gray hair. His eyes were weary as he could pass out any moment.
However, they suddenly opened when he faintly heard a voice calling out his name within the loud blizzard.
'....e...h....'
He turned his head toward the source, and a tall figure was standing beside him.
The figure looked at him in silent, so the man turned his gaze upward. The man's eyes widened as he saw what was under the hood.
The mysterious tall being had no face.
