Despite the demoralizing system notification, many righteous faction players, undeterred by the debilitating debuff, continued their pursuit of Leo, refusing to accept defeat.
Resigning to their fates was simply not an option for these players, who saw stopping Leo as their last chance to restore balance to the heated war between the righteous faction and the rebels.
He was turning from being the undisputed strongest player, to becoming the undisputed strongest force within the game, which was very concerning for many.
