As the voice vanished completely, Garen only then felt that his surrounding had finally cleared up. The bloody bubbles had vanished and the sky had returned to its original, clear blue shade. It was as if the environmental change was nothing but an illusion.
“The high ranking Demon Lord is truly impressive. He was able to pull me into the Dream World in an instant.” Garen looked at the black cube in his hand. It was obvious that the enemy had mistaken him for an Ancient Endor Inheritor with a strong background due to his rapid improvement.
“Unfortunately, I am just a normal Inheritor who has no existing background.”
As he transmigrated so many worlds, he had the suspicion that the Ancient Endor’s Demon Lords had all perished. Excluding the remnant soul, Black Sethe, that he had met earlier, he had yet to meet another Demon Lord Class being. On the other hand, he had met quite a few Void Creatures instead.
Sizzle… Clang!
The Ring of Energy Field’s black mirror shattered into countless of black debris which disintegrated into thinner and smaller pieces. Soon, it diffused into the air and had fused together with the world.
Although he was not able to absorb the Illusionist’s Soul Ring, he had unexpectedly obtained a piece of news from the Void Creature. He was not sure whether the news regarding the depletion of the Mother Stream was legitimate hence he had to validate it. However, Garen believed that this news was very likely as there was no need for the Void Creature to lie about it at all.
“I didn’t expect to receive such news instead of absorbing the Soul Ring.” Garen slowly lowered the saber in his hand and the rocky water was instantly calmed down by his intense Energy Field.
With him as the epicenter, all of the waves on the surface of the blue sea within ten kilometers calmed down so quickly that one could see it with the naked eye.
Holding his saber, Garen gently landed on the boat that was approaching him. Nine-Tailed Fox and Kong Xinxue were on the deck. They looked rather miserable as they were drenched from head to toe from the waves. But they did not care how they looked as they stared at Garen with an unacquainted gaze as he came down.
“How did it go?” Nine-Tailed Fox stepped forward and whispered. “We’ve seen your battle. You’re very powerful. I’ve seen a battle between the Suppressors before in the Lighthouse and they were about as strong as you are.” She tried to retain her arrogant tone but she felt rather helpless as she talked face to face with Garen.
Her gaze was locked onto Garen’s saber that was in his hand.
She was once an incredibly powerful monster who once ruled over a world before and believed that she was strong enough. However, she was only slightly stronger than an average human in this world where the restriction was incredibly tight. Only she knew the difference in strength between her and Garen, who was able to become so ridiculously powerful in this world.
She felt extremely unease as she stared at Garen. She felt that she was a commoner who was standing in front of a murderer who had just killed a person with a gun. Her life would be threatened if the opponent was slightly unhappy with her.
The feeling of her life not being within her grasp made her felt extremely threatened. She, who was already an extremely insecure person, felt even more unease as she stood in front of Garen at such a close distance.
“It’s good because everything has been resolved. Since the host of the virus has been taken care of, it should lose its sustainability and would no longer be a threat. I’m heading towards Lighthouse immediately and would not stay long in this world. Are you guys coming along with me or do you prefer to follow up later on?” Garen casually asked.
“We will catch up with you later on.” Kong Xinxue spoke up as she noticed Nine-Tailed Fox was feeling uneasy. She, on the other hand, was fine with it. Garen had always been rather secretive and people who practiced the Mother Stream System always did things differently from the rest.
Since she herself had not much power, she was used to facing against people much stronger than her.
“You really concealed a lot of your strength. Hehe.” Kong Xinxue walked around Garen once. “I will definitely look for you if I were to be in trouble. You better not reject my request! It may be a life or death situation to us but child’s play to you.”
“No problem.” Garen smiled. He knew that it was all just lip service. Their self-esteem would not allow them to ask for help unless it was an actual life or death situation. In fact, Garen suspected that these two might not even look for him for help if they really were in a tight spot.
“Is there anything else that needs to be resolved?” Kong Xinxue looked behind Garen. “Look, your disciple is coming for you.”
Garen turned around and saw Yuria gliding towards him. He had already gathered all of the survivors at one location when Garen and the Demon Lord who puppeteered Zhi Jinqin were having a conversation. He was currently gliding towards him with a panicked look on his face.
“Run!! This place is going to be completely destroyed!! They are going to use nuclear bombs!!!” He shouted as he was still a dozen meters away from them.
Garen, Nine-Tailed Fox and Kong Xinxue’s face turned pale as they heard what he had said.
Since this world’s restriction was too great, Garen himself could not guarantee that he would be able to defend against a nuclear bomb’s explosion.
“Let’s go!”
He turned his head around to look at the marines on the ships but he did not see anyone on the ship. It seemed that the marines on the ship had hidden themselves up.
“I’ll go and inform them!” Nine-Tailed Fox reacted.
The trio then started to move swiftly.
Yuria started to move the survivors nearby to Garen’s ship.
Since the Lighthouse’s seal had yet to be undone, Garen could only wait with everyone else in the ship.
The shocked and mentally fatigued marines who had holed up were forced back into their delegated posts. They then started to turn their ships around and left the area swiftly.
Vulture No. 1 and Red Nation’s Prince were paralyzed as they were rescued by Yuria as well. Both of them had given a lot of strength to Yuria as they had lent their strengths to him when the Savior’s ability was activated.
Both of them faced each other while they laid on the deck.
“I have never expected that things would end like this.” Vulture No.1 was speechless.
“I didn’t expect this as well.” The Prince gave out a long sigh. The clumsy Yuria had just torn his wound on his leg by another two centimeters and this made him felt extremely painful to the point he started to sweat profusely.
“All I know is that when I have healed, I need to skin this kid off or I am not…”
“Hey hey hey!” Yuria was carried over and placed beside them. He was fully covered in white bandages and only his eyes could be seen. “I risked my life to save you two. Can you treat me like a person who had just saved your lives?”
“We would survive even if you didn’t save us. Those who looked down on me, The Prince, are already dead!” The Red Nation’s Prince said with a deep tone.
“You?” Yuria scoffed.
“I hate people scoffing right at my face the most. You’re so dead! You’re dead the moment I can start moving again!” Red Nation’s Prince was furious.
“DIdn’t you say those that look down on you are already dead? Well, I am still very much alive.” Yuria put on a sloppy look on his face.
“Just you wait!” The Prince was obviously pissed as he stared at Yuria with killing intent.
“Alright, alright. Keep those thoughts to yourself.” Vulture No.1, who has always been a good man, tried to dissolve the situation. He was rather speechless towards The Prince. “You’re an old man now. What’s the point of verbally cussing at others?”
“I!” the prince still had more to say but he saw Vulture’s gaze. He looked at where he was looking to see Yuria had his face up, with two streams of clear, crystal-like liquid flowing down his cheeks.
“This kid’s family has completely perished. What’s the point of arguing with him?” Vulture No. 1 whispered. “He killed his father with his own hands and his sister has been killed by his master. Then, he found out that his mother is actually not his mother. He wouldn’t have left the house if his father killed his mother and even planned to murder his sister and him. All in all, it’s a complete mess.”
“What? Such a mess.” Red Nation’s Prince was speechless as well.
“That’s right. It’s a mess.” Vulture No.1 lamented. “What was just a family’s issue had turned into an international mess. Many outsiders had suffered death and injuries.” He sighed and stopped speaking.
After going through a life and death battle side by side, both of them did not put up on a mask between each other as they were both abandoned by their own respective countries. They managed to get along well as they sympathized with each other.
The ships were moving away from the White Crab Island at an increasing speed to the point where it was on the verge of flying away from the sea.
Garen would occasionally release a gust of wind with his palm at the back of the boat as he tried to push the boat forward.
He stared at the White Crab Island from afar.
Suddenly, a pitch black torpedo-like object appeared in the sky. It had a golden-white tail on its back as it quietly dropped into the crevice of the White Crab Island.
Boom!!
An eye-blinding dazzle flashed across the sky, seemingly turning the sky into a pure white paper. It was so bright that everything was dyed white in color.
Garen shut his eyes, but he could still feel the blinding light piercing through his eyelid and into his retina.
He then tried to cover his eyes with his hands but to no avail, since his hands were dyed completely white as well.
Ahh!!
He heard cries of agony behind him as their eyes were excited by the blinding light. They would eventually lose their sight if their eyes were to continue being excited by such blinding light at such a close distance.
“My eyes…!” Garen heard Kong Xinxue’s painful cry.
Garen sighed, and raised up his three-meter long saber and sliced it to the front.
Cling!
A ten-meter tall silver curtain was erected, blocking the crowd from the light.
The majority intensity of the light was reflected back and the deck of the ship was much dimmer than before. Although it was still bright, it was very much better.
“Be careful of the waves!!”
One man shouted loudly but no one could hear him as the explosion’s shockwave had already reached them.
Garen was the only one who could hear him through the vibrations.
He then looked at the White Crab Island and saw a few hundred meters tall tsunami about ten knots away from them. It was fast approaching the ship as it kept folding the sea repeatedly.
The blinding light pierced through the tsunami, dying it completely white. It was as if it was glowing uniformly as it turned into a huge giant water wall which spanned hundreds of meters tall.
Behind the huge tsunami was the mushroom cloud that ascended into the sky. The fiery red fire and smoke fused together as the light dimmed down. What came next was an intensive trembling and roar.
The entire ship started to tremble and shake thoroughly.
“The distance is too close.” Garen frowned.
He held his saber up and gently flicked at it.
Buzz!
The metallic saber started to vibrate as it released an ear-deafening buzzing sound.
Boom!
The saber did not even break as he fought with Zhi Jinqin earlier. However, it had turned into a chunk of debris as it was shot towards the back of the sea. What followed along this debris were those high buzzing noises.
The sound waves canceled out the huge sound created from the nuclear bomb as Garen was able to cancel out the noise with great precision instead of creating a superpositioned wave via his Energy Machine Imprint.
“It’s all over!” He casually threw away the saber in his hand. Everything in this world had come to a closure. The next thing he wanted to do was to deal with the Lighthouse incident.
