1223 Prelude 1 (1/2)
”The same?” With a look of disgust, Garen quickened up his absorption of the Soul Ring.
The powerful devouring characteristic of the Hellfrost Peacock Queen brought an excellent devouring effect to his Soul Energy. Although his Soul Energy qualities were still not the Demon King leveled extremes like Black Sethe, it was still nevertheless a skillful devouring ability. Of course, there was also the basic nourishing ability.
The true opportunity to incarnate such true capabilities was this moment so that he could absorb others' Soul Energy exceptionally smoothly.
The black eyeball on the man's chest soon disappeared. The entire process lasted less than thirty seconds.
In the distance, dense footsteps could be heard. Crowds were swarming over from other places. Clearly, the sound of astir over here had attracted the attention of the other soldiers at the base.
Bang.
Garen released the dead body, the man had already stopped breathing. As a parasitic body of the Void Creature, his soul had long been devoured by the Void Creature and all that remained was just a shell. When the Void Creature was devoured as a representative soul, its entire body naturally dies and becomes a dead body.
Garen stood still and looked below at the changes to his Attributes Pane as he felt his body change as he became stronger and stronger. His heart felt unusually carefree.
All the while, he had always been concerned. It was odd that the Void Creature did not come to him for trouble in such a long time, but now, he could finally stop worrying.
After the Soul Ring finished absorbing the Void Creature, it started glowing an abnormally dark red shade when it was not even done digesting it. The second Soul Ring was experiencing an overflow situation whereas the fifth Soul Ring was basically condensed all of a sudden and a vast amount of Soul Energy was surging toward the structure of the third Soul Ring.
His Soul Limit suddenly broke through 100, reaching an unprecedented height.
His average physique was even at least a little above the minimum average.
'Kong Xiaofei -- Strength 15, agility 15, physique 17, intelligence 13. Potential 0%. Soul Limit 90.'
Garen immersed himself in his skyrocketing powers.
”Return and get the communication device, then straight away search for Slayer!” Garen decided on his plan. There was no point in staying in this world anymore. He had already understood the workings of the Lighthouse, he did not need Nine-Tailed Fox and the others anymore. Hell, he might even know the workings of the Lighthouse more than Nine-Tailed Fox and the others. He could even use his own Energy Machine Imprint.
The members of the Lighthouse did not bother about the damage they had caused to the universe of the worlds. Even if it was some sinful convicts, as long as they do not involve or persecute other transmigrators, the Lighthouse would not confine over the case. In other words, they view residents of other worlds as something like an NPC. They themselves were high above and not even considered as a race.
Such remarks could be seen in the forum, but there were also some people who strongly disagreed, though it was just a small number of them. The highest institution of the Lighthouse was the Dimensional Watchers, the organization that managed the entire universe, collecting various regular laws. Every once in a while, they would announce the latest news about prominent transmigrators. Their main purpose was to maintain the common interests of all transmigrators because opposed to the people of the universe, the numbers and powers of the transmigrators were too small in comparison.
Therefore, Garen knew that no matter what he did in this world, as long as he did not directly endanger the safety of other transmigrators, there would be no problem. Of course, if there were any unknown problems or direct dangers, even vendettas could happen between transmigrators.
”Absorb Slayer and set off to the Lighthouse,” Garen set the destination. Before the footsteps in the distance approached, he had already swooshed out towards the entrance of the base. His speed was almost phantom-like in the eyes of ordinary people, not visible at all.
As he traveled within the base, Garen who was already familiar with the roads quickly arrived at the entrance. Looking far away from there, he could see a huge army of black soldiers lined up. Every elite powerhouse was already mobilized here. Obviously, No.2 had already known that he would leave the base as open as the day.
Standing behind the crowd of the army, No.2 had her walking stick with her as she stared at Garen. A glimmer of helplessness and pity fleet through her eyes.
”Submit yourself to arrest, Garen.''
”I've never thought about it.” Garen took a step forward. ”That someone would dare to ask me to submit myself to arrest?” He had a hint of a smile in his expression as if he was greeting a fellow friend.
But at this moment, both sides were not at all friends, but instead, a dense array of hundreds of elite soldiers were in a ring surrounding them.
The top twenty Vulture powerhouses, except for No.1 and several other ones who were out stationed, had all arrived on the spot. Each and every one of them had started up their own modified half-machinized armor as they stared at Garen carefully.
Most of them had their red dots aimed at Garen, it was the laser device.
”Don't be crazy.” No.5 stood out snorting, ”You're not the only tough guy in this world. Furthermore, even if you are so strong and powerful, we have so many powerhouses here, why would we be scared of you?”
No.5 had always been dissatisfied with Garen, a cheeky young rookie, who had always pushed him around, and now he had just found his opportunity. He never thought that even though he was never able to find any flaws in Garen, Garen himself would make such a huge mistake. This made him extremely ecstatic. The same thing, after he heard about the whole process of Garen's uprising, he was a little upset over No.4's death. Therefore, in order to let the plan run smoothly, he gathered up a massive amount of elites nominally to encircle Garen, but in reality, it was just to protect himself and important people like No.2.
Garen was too lazy to even bother with this blockhead, they were not even at the same level at all. His gaze immediately landed on No.2, the true authority of the entire Vulture.
”Do you have anything to say?”
”Things have already reached this extent, what else can I say? No.1 and I had always thought highly of you,” No.2 sighed.
”If that's the case, step aside then.” Garen looked at the crowd before him blocking the entrance. Almost half of these elites were personally trained by him, some of them even learned so many things from him that they took him as their master. Even Double-Tailed Scorpion and Butcher included, who had their heads low, not even daring to look at him in his eyes.
Both of them were different from the others. It was not out of respect or any feelings, but they knew the true hidden powers of Garen. They knew that this entire army was not enough to hold him down, that was why they were so afraid.
