He actually broke the limit!\" A boisterous laugh from the crowd attempted to lighten the mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an incredible guy. Hey, since we've got superpowers now, maybe 'Sin' is some reincarnated emperor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reading modern Earth novels lately, it seems plausible - 'Reborn: This Time I'll Take Everything Back'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words left the room funeral-parlor silent.

People need pressure to stop treating this as a game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several silent seconds, the Grand Elder responded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some pressure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'd dismiss countless lives so casually with 'some pressure'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jovial elder sighed. He'd only wanted to ease tension - they all understood the severity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Game limit-breaking was like shifting from level-100 content to level-1000 while most players remained under level-100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First would come mass casualties from ignorance, then possibly complete game abandonment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having everyone play was unsustainable - but having nobody play... equally disastrous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That... would mean defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Dragon Group's influence sufficient now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nationwide announcements during suspension.

With such population numbers, this was their only recourse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch!\" Another elder groaned miserably. \"I said we should've devoted maximum resources to uncover Sin's true identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone could guide him a little and help him tone down his sharp edges, things wouldn't have turned out like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder nodded silently, then suddenly added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But from his perspective... hiding was correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He'd instantly become the prime target.
