Mystical Journey

This time it was a gentle woman’s voice, completely devoid of evil.

At the same time, Hannet Thunderstorm’s face turned purple as he stood in his original position. Blood started to pour out from the orifices on his eyes and nose.

Ah!

The dirt underneath Hannet moved about, and formed into a Mudman as tall as a person. The Yellow Mudman reached out its hand in front of Hannet’s body.

Boom!!

The Mudman suddenly exploded and formed into a pool of mud. What was peculiar was that the strange symptoms on Hennet’s body disappeared along with the Mudman’s explosion.

His face was filled with cold sweat as he took a few steps back, wiping off the blood on his nose and mouth.

"Mother Nature’s Substitution? Scylla Whitewater? Are you interfering with my religion too?" A hint of dissatisfaction appeared in her tone.

Soon, another Mudman appeared beside Hannet.

"Lord Water God, won’t it destroy your gentle, beautiful image if you were to kill people without any prior notice?" A young man’s voice came out from the Mudman.

"Do you think an Earth’s puppet could get in my way?" The Water God’s tone turned cold. "Although the Ultimate Heirloom is very powerful, it’s not something that would frighten me."

"It’s not entirely impossible to interfere with Lord Water God. However, if it were a substitution, that’s another story." Scylla smiled.

Within the short time of ten minutes, four elites had appeared and were battling each other in pairs. All of them appeared because of the previous generation’s Thunder God, Hannet Thunderstorm.

It was obvious that Scylla represented the Royal Household of Daniela, and the people from the Obscuro Society were protecting Hannet for some reason.

"Looks like we won’t be able to do anything today." Hennet smiled. "I didn’t know that I’m more valuable than I seemed to be. This is something."

The current Thunder God placed the Lightning Balls down. Both of them knew that the current situation was not decided by them, but by two overwhelming powers. One wrong move and it would become a full confrontation between the Royal Household and the Cthulhuism Society. Currently, both parties were not ready to go all out just yet.

The original body of the Water God must have been restrained by the King of the Stars of the Geometry Service; one of the three Major Departments. The Cthulhu King and the King of Daniele were restrained by one another. It was unknown what the influences of the two form five totem users of the Obscuro Society were, but they, too, stayed their hand.

"Looks like this is the current situation." Garen had become a bystander. "Both parties are not ready to go all out. Looks like Hannet’s life is…" Suddenly, his expression changed as he stared at the bottom of his leg before he could finish his sentence.

Boom!!

Suddenly, Garen was shot out to the middle of the sky above Hannet.

One fist!!

Kaboom!!!

The shockwave in the sky was clearly visible.

The resulting gale fluttered everyone’s robes, and a tree of leaves were blown off from their branches. Dirt and pebbles followed suit, blasted every which way as if there were an explosion. The pebbles that happened to impact trees far away punched a few holes through. Lastly was the surrounding totem users, who were forced to take a few steps back away from the shockwave.

Sizzle…!

Two black burnt marks appeared on both of Garen’s legs.

Roar!!

The dragon’s shadow flashed across his face as he stomped both of his legs into the ground to stabilize himself.

Red veins started popping out from his face as sweat started to vaporize on his muscular body. That was the steam created by him using his full strength.

He raised his head up and saw a huge bloody face appearing in the sky. The face was at least ten kilometers wide, skinned, muscles and tendons exposed for all to see.

The left eye was pitch black and there was a man in red robe and silver mask standing to the side of the eye.

That man looked down from afar as if he were a god looking down at mere mortals, as if he were a superior being.

"Cthulhu King…" Garen spelled out his name slowly.

The man didn’t stop for long at the side of the bloody face. Suddenly, he flew far away at great speed and disappeared at the horizon of the sky.

After a while, an explosion could be heard beyond the horizon of the sky. The ground started to tremble as a man’s laughter echoed throughout the sky.

"Since you have come to my Ancestral God’s Pillar, why don’t you stay for a bit! Let me give you a heart-warming welcome!!" It was Phiroth’s voice and it was obvious that he had engaged battle with the Cthulhu King.

Sigh…

Garen exhaled as wafts of white vapor came out from his mouth. It was easy to see how far Garen’s Black Water True Technique had come.

The Cthulhu King stood at the peak of the form five and his strength was not something that could be easily dealt with. There was a vast difference in strength between the peak of form five and below. With Garen’s current strength, he would have no problem in dealing with the middle class of form five. But a simple attack from the Cthulhu King…

"No! It’s not just a casual attack! He was spitting at him!!" Garen recalled the horrifying scene the Original Eye saw in that instant.

That silver masked man gave off such a terrifying strength by just spitting down at them.

Perhaps he planned to appear in that instant to interrupt the situation and leave afterwards, but in that instant, the king of Daniela Phiroth caught up and engaged in a battle with him.

The peak of form five was definitely different from the others.

A typical form five totem user could elementalize themselves, giving them the ability to travel fast within a very short amount of time. The speed could be benchmarked by the element they’re good at. However, this ability required a large amount of totem light and the travel distance couldn’t be very far apart. One would be considered very good if they were able to travel for a few thousand meters.

They’re much stronger compared to the spiritualized and form four elites but they shouldn’t be able to react this quickly.

Spiritualization was just a temporary form of self-elementization, where one could transmit Tactical Formations. On the other hand, form four totem users could move in short distances through elementization, but it required a lot of totem light. Form five totem users could use this short distance travel on a normal basis. It’s not something a typical elite could do.

These elites who stood at the peak of form five’s elementization speed was close to instantaneous teleportation, where they could instantly move about from far away. One could see most of the element traces left behind from a typical form five users.

Garen sighed as his body started to tremble.

"That was close. I almost got injured." His face was cold as ever. It’s best not to interfere during the early stages of merging with the Hydra. It was fortunate that he had the Heirloom Flash Screen, which had blocked off most of the force. The remaining force had been fended off by his Black Water True Technique, so he had managed to walk away unscathed.

Wukang came to him from the side.

"How does it feel?" In that instant, he, the Thunder God, Light God and Water God didn’t even realize Cthulhu King’s hidden attack. If not for Garen’s Original Eye, he wouldn’t even be able to notice it as well.

This technique was not a unique ability but a pure technique in utilizing his pure strength. With this attack, Garen realized he had greatly underestimated the Secret Techniques of this world.

He had been relying on his king of the century’s absolute minute control of strength to oppress his opponents of the same caliber. If the most gifted totem users could merge with his inner strength to produce 100% of his strength, then the effect of minute controlling could basically allow him to release 150% of his strength.

This strength had been one of the two major reliance for Garen. Now, the attack from the Cthulhu King reminded him that this world had someone who was better than him in terms of controlling their strength.

This mouthful of Qi gathered and condensed all totem light to produce such a terrifying power.

Garen was enlightened as he pushed Wukan away who was trying to help him.

"I’m alright. The Cthulhu King sure is something. He’s able to produce such a strong force with a basic exhalation."

He looked around his surroundings and he realized that in that instant, the Cthulhuism Society’s elites had retreated. Even Emilo from the Obscuro Society’s shadow could be seen in the forest as she had obviously left.

Only Scylla Whitewater and the previous Thunder God Hannet Thunderstorm were left in the scene.

"The Black Swamp Palace Master sure is strong. You can even go against the Cthulhu King’s ambush!" Scylla’s Mudman praised him as he walked closer.

"If it weren’t for you coming out and saving us, our face would have been thrown down into the river." Scylla said hopelessly.

"You’re being humble, leader." Garen immediately showed his respect. Scylla was Ender Kingdom’s strongest leader of the Ancient Society, excluding the Royal Household. He had tremendous authority and was also a cunning elite. Similar to Garen, his strength was similar to of a form five based on his strength and heirloom.

"I’m not being humble." Scylla shook his head. "Oh right, the seed from last night had been successfully transferred and could still last for another two hours. Daniela has reached its limit. Should we go and obtain our share?"

"Sure." Garen nodded. Daniela had promised that the additional Ancestral God’s Seed would be given to him and Wukang. It looked like it’s time to fulfill that promise.

"The Seed of Ancestral God can only be used once. I plan to give my seed to Xiwa." Wukan simply said.

Garen nodded. He originally hadn’t been interested in having an additional totem. However, with the activation from last night where he had completely absorbed, he had completely forgotten about using these two seeds at once.

This wouldn’t greatly affect him as the effect of Ancestral God’s Seed wasn’t something he wanted. What he really wanted is the seed’s intense life essence. This life essence was able to respond to the merging of Nine Headed Hydra and greatly reduce the merging duration.

With the next Ancestral God’s seed, he could reduce the absorption time for the fifth dragon head. Unfortunately, Daniela’s storage duration had reached its limit. If he were to have unlimited amounts of Ancestral God’s Seeds, the merging period could be greatly reduced.

This was the main advantage as the core of the Silver Totem. He wouldn’t have this benefit if the core totem was made from silver.

"Since the Cthulhu King is unable to kill Hannet himself this time, the Black Swamp Palace Master’s reputation will definitely spread." The Mudman Scylla was very affectionate. "Once you have absorbed the seed, are you interested in meeting a few friends of mine? We have some plans in mind, perhaps you will be interested in it."

"No problem." Garen was very interested in these kinds of small circles as these elites usually had their own intel circulating within them. This was what he was currently lacking.
