Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351 Brought It on Herself

Bianca turned and looped her arm through Steven’s.

“Let’s get out of here, Steven.”

The two of them walked off together, and the livestream cut out only moments later.

The forum exploded into pure chaos.

No matter who you decided to mess with, it was never going to be these two.

Finished

First it was the Tiny Screw Emperor, his reputation reduced to ashes in one fell swoop. Now it was Burned Brain, publicly humiliated for the entire campus to witness.

Touch either of them, and ruin followed close behind, every single time.

Despair crashed over Autumn completely.

This had been a setup from the very start, an elaborate trap built for one purpose: to strip away every shred of her dignity in front of the entire school.

Every last scrap of will to keep fighting had drained right out of her.

She broke down, sobbing without restraint.

Bianca pulled Steven along by the hand.

Steven let out a breath, clearly pleased with how things had played out. “Bianca, that was brutal. I’m half convinced she’s ready to take her own life.”

Bianca pursed her lips. “She brought this on herself. Anyone who plays with fire has to expect to get burned eventually.

“Steven, did you forget what your grandfather always used to say? Always give them a taste of their own medicine.

“She wanted to drag your name through the mud, so we made sure the exact same thing happened to her instead.

“I don’t think anyone else will have the nerve to come after you again after tonight.”

Steven nodded, a note of genuine admiration creeping into his voice. “Bianca, you’ve really grown up.”

A quiet sigh stirred somewhere deep in Steven’s chest.

Maybe it’s that deep–rooted caution from my past life, the kind I could never fully shake, even now.

Bianca, blank as an unwritten page when it came to all of this, grasped the true weight of those words faster than I ever could.

I needed to grow too. I needed to keep pushing forward.

Bianca wrapped both arms around Steven’s.

“But to you, Steven, I’ll always be that pitiful little girl who needs someone watching over her.”

Steven gave her nose a playful little tap.

“Not pitiful. Adorable.”

Finished

Bianca’s bright eyes curved into two soft crescents, and she lit up with a joy she couldn’t have hidden even if she’d tried.

After that, the two of them parted ways.

Steven went to his roommates, and Bianca went to Serena.

Each of them wanted to catch up with their own circle of friends for a while.

The moment Steven ran into his roommates, they wouldn’t stop showering him with praise.

Whether it was the brutal beatdown he’d delivered to Three–Sigil Landon that morning or the public reckoning he’d just brought down on Autumn, both had the three of them buzzing with excitement.

They all sat down together and shared a meal.

That afternoon, Steven and Bianca stayed on campus, quietly working through their evolution.

Once night fell and dinner was behind them, Steven finally made his move to leave the academy grounds.

He made a point of keeping Bianca at a careful distance from himself.

That’s when Steven’s senses caught it, the unmistakable feeling of eyes watching him from somewhere in the shadows.

No rush. Every piece was already in place.

In his past life, as a B–rank Three–Sigil Divine Adept, his psychic strength had never once stretched past fifty yards.

For now, he’d guess S–rank sat around five points, and SS–rank around eight.

That would put an S–rank at level ten at fifty points total. Factoring in the twentyfold multiplier that came with reaching Two–Sigil, an S–rank at level twenty would land at a thousand points.

So does that same twentyfold multiplier carry over again once an S–rank reaches Three–Sigil?

If the multiplier held steady, Landon’s base value at level twenty five should have landed somewhere around ten thousand points.

Going by that number alone, there was no possible way Steven should have been able to beat him.

So, following his own logic, that meant Landon’s ten thousand points had to be split across four separate categories.

Just like his own stats, those points would fall across Spirit, Strength, Speed, and Agility. The split wasn’t necessarily even either. Some people leaned hard into Spirit, others into raw Strength, and plenty had Speed or Agility that dwarfed everything else. Every combination was possible.

He, on the other hand, happened to spread his evenly across the board.

Working from that, Landon’s actual Strength probably landed somewhere around twenty five hundred points.

That lined up with what he’d felt in their first clash, when the gap between his own Strength and Landon’s hadn’t seemed all that wide.

Only once he’d triggered Scorchblood Ignition, pushing his own Strength past thirty four hundred points, had he been able to crush Landon completely.

That was Steven’s working theory for now.

In other words, compared to any other SSS–rank at the same level, every single one of Steven’s stats came in at four times the normal value.

3/4

Chapter 351 Brought it on Herself

Finished

Put another way, a typical SSS–rank reaching full completion at level twenty would cap out around two thousand points. Steven’s number sat at eight thousand. And every single stat needed to hit two thousand before a Three–Sigil evolution could even begin.
