1106 Tide 4 (1/2)
The enormous planet was approaching, the scorching heat of the Sun was getting unbearable. As the distance closed up, everyone on the Mother Planet could feel the terrifying heat that was escalating by seconds.
Garen was the first one to sense this alarming change.
As the Hellfrost Peacock, he had already fully converted his Scarlet Snow Ice Armor into its true form by then. Although the Hellfrost Peacock's true form might only just be a phantom, it was devouring a vast amount of pure energy from the energy tide that moment. The surge of energy would have been considered deadly to an ordinary person. However, for the Hellfrost Peacock's almost immortal physique, it was nothing.
The gigantic White Peacock phantom continued devouring the crazy amount of rainbow energy.
As for those Non-falling ones surrounding Garen, they could not even survive in the energy tide for ten minutes before all their powers were thoroughly wiped out.
If it was not for Garen's qi protecting these two regions, absorbing all the energy from the tide that kept rushing in, all the Willpower powerhouses of these two regions would have been completely wiped out by the deadly tide, everyone's Willpower completely destroyed.
His Scarlet Snow Technique continued surging as it slowly increased.
All the veins on Garen's body could be seen surfacing his skin and he looked absolutely terrifying.
Black clouds swirled above him, on top of that was the Hellfrost Peacock's massive body. However, the only thing that could be seen at the moment was the white stream of chill churning in the air, and that was actually one of the Hellfrost Peacock's blood vessel moving. The peacock's body could not be seen at all.
The whole rainbow tide was basically blocked out by this white stream of chill.
At that moment, all the Non-falling ones realized that something was wrong - the people they were attacking seemed to be the one actually protecting this region. Each of them stared speechlessly at the other, then fell to the floor in despair. They did not know what to do, other than just observe silently by the side.
The Ice Dragon and the others, who just walked out of the villa, were also shocked at the changes in the sky. It was as if Heaven and Earth were revolving around Garen.
As the white snow melted outside, the ground was once again covered by a new layer of white snow. The forests, which were once luscious, had now wilted, from the original emerald-green to the current shade of burnt black, and they were all covered by the white snow.
This sort of great change in the world, such extraordinary dissipation of the world, definitely marked everyone's heart deeply, and it would be something unforgettable forever.
Right then, Garen's qi swiftly broke through the Non-falling Level's Grade Fifteen Scarlet Snow Technique, and it immediately advanced to Grade Sixteen, and it was still increasing as it continued absorbing energy from the tide. (TL Note: Author wrote 'Level Sixteen' but this seems to be a typo, it should be 'Grade Sixteen')
In just a few minutes, he managed to break through Grade Sixteen, and a dazzling Frost Seed slowly appeared behind him.
The seed seemed like an ice sculpture, round and delicate, and it was slowly planted into the void. Within seconds, it sprouted and a white, icy vine grew out, weaving something that seemed like a screen.
”Grade Seventeen…” Garen closed his eyes and felt the growth of the Frost Seed. At the same time, a Soul Seed that represented the extreme Hellfrost Peacock started forming in his mind.
This Soul Seed seemed to be different from the ordinary Soul Seeds. It was not just merely illusory, but it had a vague trace of pure Willpower that should only be possessed by Energy Machinists and Pilots.
He should embed a trace of Willpower of Origin into the Soul Seed!
This was the brand new path of improvement that the Scarlet Snow Sect ancestors had opened up in order to bypass the board.
The highest achievements of the Ancient Endors, the Soul Seed and the world's most powerful power, the Willpower of Origin, this two balanced everything.
”Semi-Soul… Who knew…” Little did Garen suspect that the Scarlet Snow ancestors would actually use such a method to break through the limits, to enter the Level-Nine realm of the same grade as the board.
The tremendous amount of energy from the tide continued gushing into Garen's peacock. At this point, he was not devouring his own will anymore, but the tide was just pushing into the peacock's body. He did not have to devour the energy anymore, all he needed was to absorb the consumed energy.
Right at that moment, the most horrifying fact of the Hellfrost Peacock revealed itself.
Garen could sense it himself. As his powers continued to rise, the Hellfrost Peacock's digestive ability increased just as well.
The energy that was first consumed by his body was still barely able to be digested, however, it was more than adequate now.
It was indeed the Ancient Endors' rampant creature. That incredible digestive ability was simply the strongest point of the Hellfrost Peacock that was known for its immortality.
Ding!
At this moment, Garen heard a soft sound behind him that sounded like glass clinking against each other.
The vine that grew out from the Frost Seed was slowly weaving into a delicate, huge screen, and it was almost done. Numerous ice crystals growing along the vines shimmered a fluorescent white. Looking from a distance, Garen seemed to have a gigantic piece of vine-made screen that was glinting in white on his back.
The original ice-crystal wings were pushed aside to the back of the vine-made screen.
Crack…
The white, icy crystal vines on Garen's back continued growing frantically toward all directions. Soon enough, almost the entire sky, which was about thousands of kilometers wide, was fully covered. Both the sky and the ground were filled with mesh vines of ice crystals.
The black clouds were long gone from the sky. At this moment, the Sun was getting nearer and the temperature was rising.
Without even sensing the changes to his own self, Garen raised up his head and looked at the sky.
”This… This is!?” He could actually sense that the Sun was slightly redder and it was diving toward Mother Planet!
”The Sun is getting nearer!”
Fiery Fear and his men also noticed that something was off.
No instruments were able to function right then as the energy particles storm was too big of a disturbance. Only their eyes and senses remained.
”If this continues, the entire Mother Planet will perish!!” Diofie mumbled. All of a sudden, he started panicking and became an utter mess. Under such natural disasters, he had no idea at all what to do despite being the leader of the region.
”What in the world is this!!?” Fiery Fear roared furiously, but his voice was drowned by the endless surge of energy disruption, only to be transmitted within the range of a hundred meters beside him.
This moment, everything came to his mind. His family, children, academy, brothers, best friend, wife… Every familiar face that he knew floated through his mind.
”Oh my goodness! God, why are you punishing me…” Fiery Fear was stunned by the chain of changes that was happening, it was all too overwhelming for him. As the distance between them and the Sun that was closing in, he had zero reaction despite the end of the world being imminent.
Facing such a natural disaster, if the Sun did not return to its own position, the entire Mother Planet would be thoroughly scorched; nobody would stand a chance of surviving through it.
Not just him, every single one of those powerhouses sent to suppress Garen was weak on the ground with their stagnant eyes wide open, not knowing what to do.
No matter how strong they were, they had no chance going against such a powerful force.
Unconsciously, everyone's eyes paused on Garen.
”It must be him! He must be the one who triggered this doomsday!”
”If we can kill him, everything will return to normal!”
A ferocious grin appeared on each of their faces.
”Let's not waste any more time! Move, everyone! Let's get rid of this demon!”
One of them leaped up and dashed toward Garen.
