Mystical Journey

Chapter 1337: Development 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was a soft swoosh.

Gerdmos’ entire dragon body disappeared from behind suddenly.

As Garen and Brass Dragon were flying, they watched as Gerdmos, somehow, was suddenly swallowed up by a gigantic black hole, and there was no more sound at all.

“What happened!” Brass Dragon was shocked but still did not dare to stop and continued to fly forward, only coming to a stop gradually after flying out tens of thousands of meters away.

Garen broke out from his dragon claws and was finally able to fly independently. Only he could sort of guessed what had just happened.

Without a word, his eyes were fixated on the direction in which Gerdmos disappeared from.

“Thank you very much, Plague.”

“It’s really a great loss this time,” The old Bass Dragon responded with a wry smile as if he had guessed something right. He looked around the surroundings.

The two dragons had somehow arrived at a large golden desert.

“This is the Desert of Dead Souls. We seem to have flown over hundreds of thousands of miles,” the Bass Dragon sensed the area. There were no creatures at all. Clearly, they were all frightened away by their Draconic Aura.

“What are your plans next?” Garen glanced at the burned area on his back. The Divine Crystals were like maggots that clung onto him obstinately, it was indeed troublesome.

“I live in the Maggots Abyss, you can come to visit me if you’re free. The pressing matter now is to get rid of the Divine Power of your body. Getting rid of these things is not as easy as it seems,” Brass Dragon said helplessly.

“Is there a time limit for this state of weakness?” Garen was slightly shocked.

“It’d be nice if there was,” Bass Dragon sighed. “If your confrontation awareness isn’t strong enough, then he won’t be able to eat away your strength on a daily basis and convert all energy into Divine Power and strengthen himself. Fehra’s power is just that overbearing and disgusting!”

In the Abyss, he was not afraid at all to mention the God name, Fehra, who was far away at the Mountain of Heavens.

“Even I would need at least five years to get rid of it completely. Alright then, I’ll go back first. The other two Monarchs will definitely punish Gerdmos for destroying the order regarding this matter. Whatever happens after, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Just a pity of my Divine Weapon though...”

He had a pained look on his face.

“The Upper Divine Weapon...” Garen’s face pained as well. The only thing that managed to injure Gerdmos severely was the only Upper Divine Weapon that the elder dragon took out.

He was no doubt a Level-Fifteen elite existence, his ample collection was indeed terrifying.

One Divine Weapon was already very powerful, but every single Divine Weapon was well-established and the owners could be traced. One destroyed was just one less weapon, but the elder yellow dragon was actually willing to use an Upper Divine Weapon to self-destruct.

Seems like the water behind him ran pretty deep too...

Garen reminded himself to stay vigilant.

Both dragons were somewhat restraint with each other. After exchanging contact information, they flew in the direction of their own nest.

Garen had somewhat gained a little benefit from the raid this time around. The analyzed true divinity was a huge help for him to build an analysis system of true divinity.

The whole void was now constantly trying to invade this world and the Gods of this world were actively responding against the invasion of the void.

Every creature was vigorously accumulating all their strength under this huge crisis, even Gerdmos, a Colossal Dragon that was comparable to Divine Soul.

The main force of the battlefield was still in those three places.

The Main Plane, Mountain of Heavens, and the endless Abyss.

From the information that Garen received from the snail man, it showed that there were already tens of millions of Void Creatures that had passed through the raid of the Gods’ and churches’ powerhouses and were scattered into the major empire regions of the Main Plane.

They straight away entered dreams of all creatures, almost impossible to be identified or found.

The church’s powerhouses were trying to distinguish them by various means.

As for the Abyss, there seemed to be no movement. In reality, nobody knew exactly how many Void Creatures had entered this place, they were just not exposed.

Without any further sign of danger, he returned to the Vengeance Fortress safely.

The first thing Garen did was return to his own place to rest in the attempt to get rid of the Divine Crystals that were negatively affecting his state.

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

In the dark Secret Chamber.

Dense blue ice crystals were condensed all over the black metal walls.

The ground was covered by a thick layer of white-blue snowflakes as well.

Garen squatted in the middle of the Secret Chamber, a faint white gas was constantly squirting out from his mouth and nose that kept the room temperature stabilized at a constantly low level.

Under the erosion of this white gas, the Divine Crystals on his back were slowly melting at an incredibly slow speed. If it was not for extreme fine observation, it would be completely impossible to see the Divine Crystals melt.

“Your Excellency Garen.”

Suddenly, a black mist appeared in front of Garen that quickly condensed into an enormous Wild Boar.

The Wild Bear weirdly stood on two legs and was dressed like a gentleman. A hoof was even slowly reaching up to the black tophat on the top of his head.

“It’s you, Gru.” Garen recognized him. This guy was just like the snail man. They had entirely given up on entering Dream World with their bodies and became a messenger between the great Demon Lords.

“What’s the matter?”

Garen shrouded in the white gas. The Wild Boar could barely see his situation but only sensed a huge surge of Chill that came rushing towards him. He shuddered and spoke hurriedly.

“Your Excellency Garen’s strength is getting stronger and stronger and no doubt worthy of being the Deputy Commander of Vengeance Fortress. Uh... I’m here because I have two news.”

“Speak.”

Garen responded calmly, too lazy to even open his eyes. As the white gas shrouded around him, he could sense nothing although the Wild Boar was standing face to face across him.

“The first news, after the information that you sent reached Mother Stream Alliance, two beings came forward claiming that they are your old acquaintances and they hope to see you,” Wild Boar said as he was weighing his words.

“Old acquaintances?” Garen opened his eyes, “What kind of old acquaintances?”

“One female and one male. From their looks, they seemed a bit broken down,” Wild Boar answered hurriedly.

“Let them come, we’ll know when we meet. What about the other message?” Garen closed his eyes again.

“The other news is that a Demon Lord nearby hopes that you’re able to share some of the tasks. The Alliance’s plan has reached the point where fortified points have to be opened up in the Abyss. However, in order to not attract the conscious of the Abyss to resist, the required manpower has to enter slowly. The three other Demon Lords nearby have already shared out some of the manpower. After knowing that you have a firm hold here, they hope that you can also join in.”

“Aiding the manpower...” Garen sank into deep thoughts and did not reply immediately. This was a big risk. Once discovered, even Lady Vengeance would be the first to kill him.

“A certain date a year later, Deception Demon Master Sandola will come to the Abyss. We are now just preparing for Her Excellency, Lady Deception,” Wild Boar whispered.

“Is there any benefit?” Garen was not a master of free labor. Moreover, he was not even aiding his own Endor’s people. Naturally, he had to be remunerated.

“Of course,” Wild Boar responded quickly. “Her Excellency, Lady Deception promised that whoever lends a hand in this matter, every single one will be rewarded a Ten Million Level Incantation Stone.”

Ten Million Level!

Garen was slightly moved. An Incantation Stone was something used to store Souls. It being Ten Million Level meant that it had at least tens of millions of Average Souls. Even during the Blood Wars, after he had been secretly snatching so many Souls from the Abyss for so long, he could still not get hundreds of thousands of souls. If he was to be able to get a Ten Million Level soul, perhaps he could use a Semi-Divine Weapon to filter and absorb through and think of the best way to increase his Soul Limit.

Moreover, if he studied divinity thoroughly, the number of souls needed would be greater.

However, the time span of one year was too short. He was still not finished with analyzing the divinity on his hands. With the information all undigested, he would be biting off more than he could chew.

He thought about it carefully.

“I’m in no rush, I don’t need too many things at the moment. But still,” Garen paused, “even though I may not be able to assist, I can provide supplies and safe hiding spots for those coming to aid and hunt.”

The Wild Boar smiled with joy hearing Garen’s words.

“Even if it’s just that, we are extremely grateful to you. All the while, the Abyss never had many supply points. Therefore, if you can guarantee that you can provide the supply points here, it’ll be of great help in our development.”

“No problem, we belong to the same camp anyway, helping each other is what we should do.” Garen nodded, “alright, you can go now.”

“Alright, thank you for your generosity.” The Wild Boar then slowly turned into black mist and disappeared.

Garen once again closed his eyes and started to get rid of the Divine Crystals on his back.

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

In the following two months, Garen never stepped out of his residence. The three Blasphemy Knights, Irene and the other two, were responsible for all the miscellaneous affairs whereas Andrew was in charge of leading the Winter Army to join the Blood Wars.

Garen gave all of his war trophies to him for distribution.

There was no denying that Andrew was talented in leadership. After signing a contract with Garen, his strength was piled up under a large number of resources and soon reached the breakthrough point. He had been stuck at the peak of Level Nine for now.

After getting Garen’s guidance, he also understood the real gap between Level Nine and Level Ten and above, and so he began to form his own unique ability.

During killing, this guy formed an incredible energy field which he termed Demon Halo, which was purely based on Garen’s powerful frost energy field. He broke into Level Ten successfully.

This was good news.

Garen finally had a subordinate who was a powerhouse good enough as a line-up.

As for him, he was totally ignorant of the outside world, devoting himself to cleanse out the Divine Crystals even though the process of removing it was extremely slow and boring.

Hence he began to rebuild the device that Energy Machinists mostly rely on, the Willpower computing brain.

During his time as an Energy Machinist, the computing speed of a Willpower brain was even more powerful than the most advanced brain of the Mech era.

To analyze divinity, the brain of Willpower had to be the best method to analyze.

Every time during a Blood War, he would hand his Semi-Divine Weapon to Andrew to allow it to continue absorbing a large number of souls. Then, he would absorb the souls from the Semi-Divine Weapon and convert them into potential points.

As more and more potential points accumulate to the point that they were impossible to use, Garen would slowly turn it towards his intelligence.

In the time of accumulating the establishment of his Willpower brain, Garen set his place as a receiving point, welcoming the first batch of Void visitors at the same time.
