Chapter 370: Thank You (1/2)

With a resounding thunder that rumbled across the surroundings, the Energy Barrier I put up above as well as the Concealment Formation hiding this place shook as if they would shatter at any moment.

Perhaps I overdid it and angered this World's Will too much. However, this is better than waiting for it to summon me.

Although this gave the chance for the other Dark World Transcendents to notice, as long as I could get the help of this World's Will, closing it would not be a problem.

As I sent my consciousness to try and converse with it, continuous resounding thunders and a bit of lightning filled my head.

Irja at my side looked on at it with vigilance. Perhaps she's thinking that this World's Will was antagonizing us. However, the truth is it's just angry that I roused it like this.

The same as the other World's Will I encountered, it recognized me, especially because of that pledge I made with Avelin from when I got the Orb of Enhancement.

After calming down Irja, I told her to wait for me and hold the fort for a while along with my Guardian Pillars.

Flying into the grumpy and thick dark clouds, I was met with a surprisingly clear white space. For instance, I thought my consciousness was pulled out of my body to reach here but no. This is clearly a physical space within the gathered clouds filled with Brute Energy.

From a distance, a silhouette of a person could be seen. I didn't need to guess, it's the physical form of the World's Will of this world.

As I stepped forward the silhouette finally revealed its true form, a man who looked more like a Barbarian of the Desolate Plains. Long black hair tied behind him, dark brown skin and beast skin clothes. His body build could be said as muscular. Around him, Brute Energy gathered and formed a thunderous aura that rumbled in a low volume. Sparks of lightning could also be seen.

Feeling the pressure he was exuding, he's also around the level of a Rank 2 Transcendent.

Since this is its physical manifestation then one thing came to my mind.

”Are you the Incarnation of the World's Will?”

”I am.” His short reply and its coupled with his cold gaze seemed to want to tear me apart.

He's angry, alright.

”I apologize for what I did. It's the fastest I could think of. I need your help.”

”I'm aware.”

His reply was short once more. But it's fine I guess. Let him be angry all he wanted as long as the purpose of calling him out was realized.

”I see. Then I don't need to explain it to you.”

”Leave.”

”Huh?”

”I will do it myself.”

”Well then, you're the boss of this world, suit yourself.” I shrugged and stepped aside, acting as if I'm letting him pass by me.

I guess I angered him enough that he didn't want to work with me. Or is he just too petty?

”Do not ever do that again.”

”Look. You're angry, I get that. But don't feel threatened. That's the first and last time I will do it. I have no intention to usurp your control over the world's Source Energy. And more than that, I'm still not strong enough to accomplish that. I'm here to help. If you still feel bad about that then let me ask you, why are you not helping your denizens?”

Putting in the interrogative tone, the World's Will was taken aback as his cold and angry demeanor he put on seemingly dispersed.

Although he's not like the World's Will of the World of Element yet, he seemed to have no intention of helping his denizens tide through this crisis.

I once asked Erin and Avelin about the World's Will but they hadn't encountered it.

I also asked Raiden through my Incarnation when he passed by with his Generals to request assistance from the Whiteshade Division. Among everyone in this world, he should be the one who had the most contact with the World's Will.

However, according to him, he was also being shut down by the World's Will. Perhaps it didn't have any intention to move and left the fate of the whole world to the denizens.

He's just lazy, isn't he?

Now that I exercised the full extent of Energy Control, he came running all at once.

I already apologized and explained to him why I did that but he still had the gall to act this furious.

Let's see what answer he will give me. That better be satisfying.

”… That's none of your business.”

Although he appeared to think about my question, the answer he produced was disappointing.

Upon hearing that, a burst of colorful elements from my feet launched me from where I was standing. In a blink of an eye, I already reached his vicinity.
