533 Scattered Power 1 (1/2)
Chapter 533: Scattered Power 1
The atmosphere got heavier and heavier, Garen and the Cthulhu King slowly moved their position, forming a pencil-straight line with the Divine God Palace Master in the center.
The Divine God Palace Masters eyeballs turned slightly, the ink-green longbow on his back glowing with a hint of jade-green. He looked at the expressions and actions of the two in front and behind him, his heart sinking slightly.
”In that case, it might be good to end things here today.”
”It’s best if the Palace Master thinks that way.” The Cthulhu King chuckled, and stood aside to open up a path. The shape of his mouth was slightly strange, the red needle hidden under his tongue so he could shoot it out and attack at any moment.
The Divine God Palace Master nodded, and still did not use the long bow that remained unused, standing up slowly, his figure turning into a flash of shadow that brushed past the Cthulhu King in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
In no time at all, there was only the Cthulhu King and Garen left on the cliff.
”Together?” The Cthulhu King asked quietly.
”Of course.”
Garen nodded.
Although the Divine God Palace Master left, that was just on the surface, if he was still hiding somewhere and waiting for his chance, the dumbest thing to do would be to separate now.
The two of them stuck together, out of wariness for the Divine God Palace Master who might still be hiding, but nothing really happened, following the crack they had fallen down from, every time they leaped up, they could instantly stab the stone wall with their arms and keeping themselves suspended. Then they could leverage on that and leap up again.
Jumping like that again and again, soon enough, the two of them returned to the second floor branch they had used to enter the third floor.
The branch was still covered with a pale blue mist.
The two figures leaped out of the hole on the floor, landing lightly beside the hole, one black and one red respectively.
The black figure was a calm-looking Garen, his golden hair cascading down his shoulder, his pitch-black demon eyes not showing any signs of receding, meaning his Black Water True Technique was constantly channeling at the highest level.
The red figure, on the other hand, was the Cthulhu King with his body full of wounds, his face was deathly pale, and he panted heavily.
”Looks like after going back this time, I’ll need to properly rest and recover for a while.”
”Phiros is dead, the situation is extremely unstable now, do you have time to relax?” Garen raised his brow slightly. Now he could no longer compare the events to the original path, he had already turned history utterly upside down, everything had become a mess.
Hellgate did sustain some considerable injuries after defeating Phiros, but after the Daniela War of Destinies, Ender actually did not move at all, so they evidently had some other plan.
The Enderian King(1) and Phiros were two complete opposites, she was mad and extremely active, and most of all, she would not obey any pre-set rules, plus she was herself a peak-level totem user. Compared to Phiros, she had become famous several hundred years ago, and was a long-known peak-level fighter among the previous generation, who knows how powerful her home base was.
This would be yet another world-ending clash.
”Unfortunately… If Phiros had been willing to join forces with me, there’s no way he would have ended up like that.” The Cthulhu King shook his head, lamenting.
Garen did not say anything, he just watched the tracks left by the Divine God Palace Master around the area carefully.
The Cthulhu King looked at him.
”This time, both of us reaped a lot of rewards, may I know what plans Palace Master Garen has from here on out?”
”Plans? Don’t you know perfectly well what I want to do?” Garen was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, he was going to lose control of the Living Secret Technique’s side effects. He moved his feet, and instantly became a shadow rushing down the way he had come.
The Cthulhu King cackled, accepting and absorbing two Living Secret Technique Seeds at once, especially the one that he had exchanged with Garen, was not that easy a matter. But the two of them had made a deal and exchanged, neither of them had any intention of regretting it.
Evidently, Garen had also gotten some benefits from that Living Secret Technique.
Garen in front, and the Cthulhu King behind, both of them concentrated on rushing back, neither of them speaking.
Right now, the green and black-red threads inside Garen’s body were interweaving and tangling, darting in and around his body like countless long and thin worms, causing him unbearable agony. Thankfully, his roots were in the Secret Technique World’s peak-level Black Water True Technique, so it was slowly forming a buffer between the two Living Secret Techniques, so that the two conflicts would not be too sharp, and giving him some time to breathe.
The first Living Secret Technique he had gotten was a Frost-type. And the second looked like it would be a Fire-type, but it was actually a Metal-type, the fire devil representing the melting and forging of metal, only the black-red long sword that appeared at the end was the true Seed, the two Living Secret Technique Seeds were tangled up and clashing inside Garen’s body, forming two balls, one green and one black, both spinning at high speeds. The center of the spinning was the core formed from his Black Water True Technique blood qi and the fusion power, that Garen had trained for a long time. But right now, the Black Water True Technique was being burned away quickly, every second he stayed here would cost him another portion of the Black Water True Technique’s fusion power.
Garen’s heart grew more anxious, and he began to run even faster.
Boom!
