OPM: Dimensional Divine Selection,Only I Know Saitama Is the Strongest

Renjia Town.

Today was the final day of the mission.

In just a few more hours, the mission timer would run out. By this point, every student assigned a simple task was breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Even if a zombie showed up now, it wouldn't change the outcome. Their mission completion was already a sure thing.

Right now, students were gathering in groups and chatting excitedly…

"Isn't it strange? A whole month went by, and not a single zombie showed up! Maybe the instructors got it wrong?"

"Are you dumb? There were zombies. They just got taken away!"

"Yeah! A month ago, the Ren family even put out a bounty saying that Old Ren's corpse had been stolen. Based on what our instructors said, Old Ren was the original infected target of this entire mission!"

"...Wonder who the badass was who snatched the zombie? Whoever it was, they really did us a favor!"

"Too bad. Simple mission means low rewards."

"Come on, we breezed through the mission. That's already a huge win. You're still complaining?"

"Right, the rewards this time are based on personal performance. But if the zombies were taken away early, then wouldn't everyone's performance look about the same?"

"Ha! Those show-offs from Godslayer Academy are gonna be real disappointed."

"Either way, smooth mission is a good thing. I can't wait to leave this cursed place."

"Seriously! No internet, no phone, no money. I ended up working as a cook for the Ren family just to get by this month…"

"Damn, that's rough!"

"And you're laughing? I saw you washing pants at a brothel last week."

"Bro! Okay, I'm sorry! Don't bring that up!"

Most students were genuinely relieved that the mission ended so easily.

Of course, not everyone was thrilled.

Take the Godslayer Academy students, for example. They were seriously frustrated.

They had hoped for a zombie outbreak so they could take charge and show off their skills. But from beginning to end, not a single zombie appeared.

Their elaborate plans? Useless.

Their moment of glory? Gone.

And without any standout performance, they were stuck with the same low evaluation as everyone else…

"We all know who stole the zombie it had to be Damon Lawson and his group, right?"

"Definitely them! I heard they had some scheme where they'd use the original zombie to infect more people, then kill them afterward to boost their kill count and get a high evaluation."

"Damn… that's cold."

"What does it matter? Once we leave the Third Forbidden Zone, everything resets."

"They may have their plans, but not even leaving a single zombie behind for the rest of us? That's just selfish. What about the rest of the class?"

"Exactly! They just disappeared with the zombie like we don't matter."

"I'm reporting them when we get back. Selfish jerks ruined everyone's chance to improve!"

"Are you sure? I heard Elias Vale was part of their group too."

"So what? He's just a musclehead. I'm not scared of him."

"Oh really? Elias Vale isn't just muscle. He's the most perfect hero match ever recorded. A 100% compatibility rate! Even the principal has his eye on him and wants to take him as a disciple."

"Okay, you win… I'll let it go this time…"

While the students from Godslayer Academy argued among themselves, someone suddenly rushed in holding a newspaper.

"Guys, you won't believe this! Check this out the entire island nation got overrun! The whole place is a zombie wasteland now!"

The crowd fell silent, then swarmed around the paper.

It was yesterday's edition, delivered from the provincial capital.

And its headline? Shocking.

An entire country… completely overtaken by zombies.

A literal zombie paradise.

"Holy crap! You think this was Damon's doing?"

"They really went that far? Aren't they afraid of messing up big time?"

"If they're still alive, who knows how many zombies they've killed by now."

"I can't believe they were that bold. This kind of play could easily backfire."

"Well, we'll know once we see their evaluations after the mission ends."

At exactly noon…

All the students vanished from their locations.

Inside a blinding white dimensional space, Autumn Summer stood silently as her rewards were calculated.

"Congratulations! Your performance in the Third Forbidden Zone was extraordinary. During the mission, you killed 275,951 zombies and have earned the highest task rating…"

"You've been granted 150 freely allocatable attribute points!"

A glimmer of joy lit up Autumn's face.

One hundred fifty free stat points an absolute treasure for someone like her.

And in her mind, one image surfaced: Vincent Fox.

Without his invitation, she never would've achieved this. Never would've received such an overwhelming reward.

One hundred fifty points. Enough to take her combat power to an entirely new level.

As her heart warmed, she smiled sincerely…

A full month had passed inside the Third Forbidden Zone.

But in the real world, only an hour had gone by.

At that moment…

Outside the portal to Forbidden Zone #3, teachers from all the schools waited in a special rest chamber.

Walter Wayne, Godslayer Academy's lead instructor, glanced across the room at Terry Yan, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to see the expression on Terry's face when his two best students didn't return.

That moment was coming soon.
