Mystical Journey

"I need all of you to give me an emergency plan," said the man who was seated at the host's seat in a low voice. "That was a city. Titan City was one of our most important bases! We can't let it just freeze and fall into such a situation!"

This man was the First Elder of the previous White Light Organization and the person who destroyed Blackboard Region in revenge. He had attacked Polar Region and caused its downfall before becoming the newly appointed leader there.

Those present were not Polar Region's original imperial kinsmen or great nobles. Instead, they were this man's previous underlings and a few of Black Flood Party's subordinates that defected over.

Those from Black Flood Party were currently the most embarrassed ones here. The other people cast their gazes towards the both of them, consciously and unconsciously.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Black Flood Party, tell me, how did this person come after all?" said one of the imperial members of Polar Region calmly. "An individual with powers like that would already be considered as a Non-falling Level powerhouse. I wouldn't believe it if all of you did not know how a powerhouse of this degree was provoked."

"Indeed, even if First Elder wanted to protect you, he would first need to know the entire process clearly," said another person while smiling and narrowing his eyes. "That was a Non-falling Level, a powerhouse that was on par with the Black Flood Party Master from those days!"

The gazes of all the elders were focused on those from Black Flood Party.

The face of the Fourth Divine Wind General who acted as a representative turned cold and stern as he sat up straighter in his seat but did not speak. Beside him was a young woman who had long red hair.

The silence of Black Flood Party allowed the others to rejoice in their misfortune.

"Alright, alright. We'll discuss this matter further. What's going on?" The gaze of the man who was also the leader fell on the Fourth Divine Wind General.

The Divine Wind General cleared his throat and looked at his surroundings while his face remained expressionless.

"Respected Lord Divine Light, we've never seen this person before and we would never dare to lie to you about this matter," The Fourth Divine Wind General could ignore the others but would naturally not treat his own leader the same way. He stood up and answered him respectfully.

"It would be impossible for a Non-falling Level powerhouse to just appear suddenly, right?" Divine Light was faintly annoyed.

"As I see it, this isn't the time to debate the origins of this person. Instead, we should be defending the reputation of our Polar Region. If a larger region was frightened into submission by a terrorist that appeared suddenly, the other regions would laugh at them as if they were a joke!" said one of the old people dejectedly.

"We must release a letter to our allies about the terrorist attack immediately! Inform the other regions to unite with us as allies as well! Titan City was a key trade city that we used to import Star Core fragments! We will not tolerate losing it!" said someone resolutely.

After a temporary period of shock, everyone realized that the person was actually very aggressive. He did not care about the millions of people who died within the entire city. They could simply treat him as the biggest mutated organism threat and handle him in that manner before releasing an urgent announcement to all of the powerhouses within the other regions of the alliance.

"As a single person, even if he becomes any stronger, could he be stronger than all of us?" sneered one of the leaders.

"Although a single Non-falling Level is not enough to scare us, I personally cannot set out easily. Looks like I can only trouble all of you now."

Once Divine Light had gotten his great revenge against Blackboard Region, his mental state had calmed down greatly. He was rather unperturbed now.

"I'm guessing that this person probably took the opportunity that arose because of the weather changes. He could only increase his strength when his frost abilities and powers increased. In reality, his strength is probably not this powerful. After all, if it was really strong enough, he would have emerged long ago instead of purposely waiting until now," said one of the elders calmly.

"That's reasonable."

"Then move out twelve Great Light Mechs to prevent a diversion from occurring. I'll oversee the metropolis while the rest of you can go straight to Egret together," Divine Light took a pure white disc out and passed it to one of the leaders who was standing up.

"This disc contains half of my power within a single move. I'll pass it to you to handle it," as the peak Non-falling Level powerhouse, Divine Light had previously attacked and killed two Non-falling Levels including the Black Flood Party Master and Blackboard Academy's dean. As for Non-falling Levels who had yet to reach their limits, he was naturally, completely unconcerned about them.

"At the same time, move upwards towards the headquarters and inquire about the information regarding that man," the headquarters that he was talking about referred to the information headquarters of the artificial intelligence manufacturing alliance between Maria Region and Royal Region. Various information from all aspects was collected there.

"Don't worry, leave it to us," the young person who had taken the disc opened his mouth and exposed his white teeth.

************************

If the power of the Non-falling Level separated itself and coordinated with the snowflakes and cold air in the sky, it would form a terrifying ending that would affect people greatly.

Titan City was frozen and the solid ice there could not be broken. If it was struck or broken, the people inside would crack completely along with the ice.

Garen had vented briefly to slightly relieve the murderous intent in his heart. He was currently in the radiation zone between Polar Region and Blackboard Region. He was waiting on an overgrown grassy plain.

The Seventh Ruins from earlier that were both mysterious and strange were far away in front of him. He had entered previously and was almost unable to exit.

While looking at it from afar, the Seventh Ruins was still the same as before. They were terribly abandoned and dilapidated while the insides were filled with stage props and what seemed like factory machinery that were jumbled together. An indescribably uncomfortable feeling wafted in the air.

Garen did not appear but was instead concealing himself in the air. He used optics to hide his body and isolation devices that were made of qi wave forces to shroud himself completely. He had specially prepared these things when he came back this time in order to wait for the moment when Clint and the others would return.

"Master, Bamente has been found. Should I take you there immediately?" Turing's voice echoed beside him.

"Let's go."

Garen threw a little black ball out of his hand in passing and allowed it to fall on the floor freely and sink into the soil on the ground. It burrowed into the deepest part of the soil on its own.

Only then did he turn around and leave.

Celine had lied to him. Bamente had attempted to assassinate him previously but was inflicted with heavy injuries by the Nine-Headed Dragon's soul that rebounded automatically. He definitely needed to get his revenge.

It was fortunate that the matters here were preparing to be completed. The free time that he had now was coincidentally enough for him to settle all of his previous scores.

"There's probably some time before the explosion of the Energy Tide anyway..?"

A faint blue light appeared in both of Garen's eyes.

He would not go and meet Celine for now. He needed to wait until her address was fully determined before he could deal with her. When he thought about it now, she was probably the one who had taken away all of his previous resources.

Throughout the numerous worlds he had experienced consecutively, she was the best liar he had ever seen.

While following Turing's directions, Garen passed through the radiation zone quickly and silently entered the protective Light Screen to return to Blackboard Region.

He flew towards the mountainous area in the open country with ease. A large white house that was built on the top of the mountain appeared within his field of vision quickly.

There were many guards placed around the house. They held firearms and wore Miniature Mechs. They looked like they performed their garrison duties strictly.

Garen attracted their attention instantly when he flew closer. It seemed like they had detected him by using certain devices. However, it was important to note that Garen was already using the most advanced devices to conceal himself.

************

Within a garden in the interior of a big house, Bamente was currently following a woman from behind with an expression of flattery on his face. He was talking about something while smiling.

The woman's figure-hugging black dress revealed her beautiful figure. Both of her eyes were elegant and shaped like almonds. She was a rare beauty.

"You can relax. The materials that I promised you will be sent as soon as possible. However, the medicinal liquid that you blended must be handed over on time as well."

"Of course, of course. Milady's personal arrival is an honor for my humble self, Bamente. To be able to guide milady and take milady sightseeing around Blackboard Region is a great opportunity that many people could not even dream of," replied Bamente while smiling happily.

"It's good that you're aware of that. If you treat me well, you will reap the benefits; if you treat me badly, you already know the conclusion of that," sneered the woman.

"Understood, understood," Bamente answered frantically. "The current Mech competition between the Alliance of the Three Territories…" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt an abnormal shroud of qi that penetrated the defensive layer of his house before shooting directly towards the two people.

Suddenly, he sensed a deep threat that resembled an extremely terrifying and earth-shattering murderous intent that was surging towards himself violently.

Within his field of vision, a ray of white light appeared in the faraway sky instantly before it charged directly at him.

Shh… The white light produced sharp whistling noises that caused intense pain throughout his eardrums.

However, he had no time to think now. He jerked his hand quickly and threw out two machine boxes before two ferocious black beasts pounced towards the white light from the inside.

Roar!!

The species of these two beasts could not be determined clearly. The white light penetrated them easily moments after they pounced forward. The speed of the white light did not decelerate and charged directly towards Bamente.

Garen remained within the white light with a calm expression on his face. To his current self, killing a mere Biochemist like Bamente was as simple as breathing. His counterattacks were weaker than paper and without having to break it on his own, they collapsed naturally after being suppressed by the Energy Field around his body.

"Save me!!" Bamente yelled loudly with a defeated look on his face.

"How dare you!!" The sound of a woman's voice that was tinged with anger echoed beside his body. Simultaneously, a dark red steel wheel that was one step faster than sound and had sharp saw-like edges attempted to directly slice Garen's neck instantly.

Garen simply extended his fingertips towards the wheel.

Boom!!!!

Countless rays of red light spewed around before the entire house and garden were instantly shrouded in violent red. All the flowers and plants wilted rapidly before the red light attacked and tainted the Miniature Mechs who had entered the house. It immediately flung these people out brutally before they were corroded by the red light in mid-air until not a single sound was left.

"Eh?" Garen exclaimed softly and realized once again that he had already landed gently on the top of the enclosing wall. He looked down at the woman with the cold face below him and Bamente who was hiding behind her.

When he extended his hand and touched the wheel, a mysterious force attempted to teleport him to another area. Fortunately, he had controlled the forces to evade this transference and float away gently to land on top of the nearby enclosing wall.

"Somewhat interesting," his gaze stared at the red wheel in the woman's hand while his interest towards the other party was aroused.

"You dare attack your Princess's servant. Bearers!! Take this fellow who forced his way in and disturbed the interest of the palace."

Their surroundings were completely silent while Garen looked at this woman curiously.

"Your Vitality is very interesting," he stroked his chin while his interest in her increased. "Initially, I merely came here to settle some minor matters. I never expected to gain surprise rewards as well. Not bad, not bad…"

His voice was still echoing in the sky when Garen's physical body had already turned into white light that charged towards both of them immediately.
