Chapter 979: Reorganization (1/2)
Their first priority was to get a clear picture of the current status quo, starting by locating Sangius, Bollands, Phoebe and the rest, thereby ensuring their safety. Additionally, they would have to head to Omphalos to scout it out as well as find out what the circumstances were behind Tyre's disappearance. Lastly, Pandemonium would have to be reconstructed to incorporate the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester. There were too many tasks to attend to, so he had no time to waste here.
Even though Han Hao now had a Quintessence of his own, he still couldn't utilize its power to its full potential. Even so, it should be more than enough to deal with the likes of overgods like Tyre and Logue. So, Han Shuo sent Han Hao back to his base near the mountains where Dhaka, Asser, and Dagmar lost many of their men to gather some of his godhunter subordinates before going to hunt down Logue and Tyre. He was also asked to look out for the other Hegemons that just left.
Han Hao was now filled with confidence; his acquisition of a Quintessence made him one of the most powerful existences on Elysium. He left through the underground tunnels quickly after Han Shuo gave him the order.
Han Shuo then expanded his consciousness to get in touch with the Five Elite Zombies before heading in the other direction. Now that his realm-state was at the Diablo Realm, his consciousness could spread boundlessly like the sea, allowing him to clearly perceive anything and everything inside it's enormous coverage. By magnifying the signals between the Five Elite Zombies, he could easily locate them.
Han Shuo suddenly noticed that his consciousness had completely transformed due to his elevated realm state. It was as if he could vaguely feel the souls of every single living being in the Fringe. The more powerful the lifeform was, the more obvious he could pick out their telltale life aura.
Gradually, as he focused on his senses, he began to pick out many familiar signals, including Tyre's, Logue's, as well as Wasir, Salas and so on. He cracked a smile at this new mastery he had acquired. His new realm state still hadn't stabilized completely yet, but he already had a taste of how powerful the Diablo Realm was and it would only get better from there. Now, it was as if he could see through everything.
He decided he would first consolidate his men, starting with Wasir and Salas who were nearest to him. He immediately flew towards them at a speed nearly impossible for the naked eye to detect. Soon, he reached a cold pond. ”Come out, Salas, Wasir,” he cried towards the crack in a cliff.
”Are you alright, Bryan?” Salas seemed genuinely happy to see him.
Wasir, however, didn't say much and merely looked at him, as if he was checking if he was hurt in any way.
Seeing these two again, Han Shuo felt a little odd. When he had first come to the Fringe, these two were the most hostile to him. He also had some unfortunate grudges with the two of them and had almost killed them.
Yet, these two had become among his closest allies. While the two of them were proud and didn't have good tempers, they were sincere folk, unlike superficial backstabbers like Ossora, Logue, and Tyre.
”Haha, I'm fine. However, the threat still looms over the Fringe. The Godhunter Alliance hasn't left yet. First, we have to find the rest of the members of my house. After we settle them down, we'll head to Omphalos together. I have a feeling that Logue and Tyre are now located around there with the last of their forces. It seems like they're up to something.”
”We'll go with your plan then!” Salas casually said, ”After the last battle we’ve faced, I am convinced. Only someone like you can inspire my trust, not Logue or Tyre.”
Wasir didn't say what was on his mind like Salas did, but he still gave a tacit nod, agreeing to what Salas had said. Even though they didn't officially pledge their allegiance to Han Shuo, it was still a sign that Han Shuo would replace Logue and Tyre as the unparalleled ruler of the Fringe.
