Chapter 396: Chapter 376: Perception and Understanding!

Just like those red and purple stones of the past, only when people experienced an extreme emotional outburst could the perfect Philosopher’s Stone of Alchemy unleash the great power that it inherently possessed.

In the boundless worlds, the power of miracles was the most twisted, the most incredible, and the most uncontrollable force.

Byrne’s first and foremost wish was to awaken the great Lord of the Lost!

However, the Philosopher’s Stone did not respond to him.

At that moment, another thought, a more insane one, deep within Byrne’s heart, was responded to by the mad power contained within the Philosopher’s Stone!

That was to protect the people he loved…

Kill all those enemies!

“So that’s how it is.”

His body radiating red light, he took a deep breath.

The deepest, most primitive desires and malice, full of emotion, triggered a terrifying miracle.

“Under extreme emotion, the omnipotent and twisted wishing machine, undoubtedly, is the true face of the Philosopher’s Stone.”

“In theory, as long as there is enough of the Philosopher’s Stone, anything is possible, but it might not really go as one wishes.”

At that moment, Byrne gently extended a finger, feeling distinctly different from before.

It wasn’t just a comprehensive and significant improvement in spiritual power and physical attributes, but more so, his “feeling” and “understanding” of the world and extraordinary powers had undergone a qualitative change.

The world, as he saw it, was different from how ordinary people saw it. In the eyes of the extraordinary, the world contained many stray energies, and using extraordinary power, they could manipulate these energies to do various things according to their will.

But now, compared to ordinary extraordinary individuals, Byrne was able to perceive and understand “things” much more.

“Unprecedented…the world has become clearer, more transparent.”

Thousands of lines stretched across the world, and almost all things were connected by at least several threads.

And so were the extraordinary individuals, all trapped within threads, everything interconnected with other things, and different connections existed between everything.

Byrne could even clearly sense that most people present were deeply afraid of him, even Prince Conrad, who was originally called the “Dragon of Despair,” now his massive body instinctively taking flight and retreating, cautiously wanting to keep his distance.

“Let’s continue!”

The many powerful monarchs of the Stars Embrace Order, led by Isabel, also kept activating the Array’s power, hoping to gather a powerful attack to completely destroy them.

Byrne knew that it wasn’t just those enemies, including Zayne hidden kilometers away, and Ariel from the Romann family, at this moment, they all feared him, continuously emitting red light.

“What is going on with him?”

Prince Conrad asked, continuously flying backward, his massive black dragon body appearing very cowardly, Byrne’s terrifying aura drawing much of his attention!

The purple-clothed woman skilled in Mental Magic immediately followed him in retreat, unwilling to be the first one to suffer an attack.

Prince Conrad murmured.

“What was that surge of red light just now? Is a Heavenly Enlightenment Level powerful expert intervening nearby? No…but I always feel that the momentum he now possesses isn’t something a ‘Monarch’ level should have!”

Byrne remained silent, certain that he now possessed pure power that could match some legends of the Heavenly Enlightenment level.

But he was also very aware, firmly knowing that he could not defeat any of the legends of the Heavenly Enlightenment level.

For if the true legends of the Heavenly Enlightenment level were “trained warriors wielding weapons,” then compared to them, he was like a “young man who suddenly obtained a sharp sword.”

Even if theoretically there was a possibility of harming a legend of the Heavenly Enlightenment, he absolutely could not exert its true power, unless he unexpectedly intervened in a battle between two legends of the Apocalypse, which might change the outcome. Otherwise, dueling any of the weakest legends of the Apocalypse was almost certainly an assured defeat.

However, he was not facing legends of the Apocalypse at the moment, but merely using “a sharp blade” to defeat other “young men” was entirely possible!

Byrne calmly reached out, and with a swipe on the annoying Prince Conrad’s body.

“Snap.”

An invisible thread was severed.

The next instant, a silent yet omnipresent powerful force discreetly descended, tearing the sky apart as an incredibly dazzling light instantly sliced through the darkness, shooting straight at the arrogant black dragon.

The massive body of the Dragon of Despair, under the illumination of the light, appeared especially small and helpless. It let out an ear-splitting roar, trying to resist this unknown threat with its own power.

“Aooo!”
