1509 Sinister Arrival
Date- 13 April 2321
Time- 9:48
Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital
While Sansa was gritting her teeth over a missed opportunity. Somewhere in the space of the Southern Capital, Henricks looked at Wyatt who gained back-to-back enlightenments and nodded his head impressed by the achievement.
Unlike Sansa, Henricks did not plan to make use of this opportunity to kidnap Wyatt mostly because he did not want to hinder Wyatt’s enlightenment and development. Besides, he felt like he would have several chances to kidnap Wyatt as long as the Central government forces did well to keep Field Marshal Heatsend busy.
Thanks to his origin card, Henricks, even though could not be considered as one of the strongest in the world, he had very few card apprentices to be worried about.
Therefore, he was pretty confident that in this struggle between the various conspirators for Wyatt he would come on top no matter what. So he decided to sit back until his competition eliminated each other.
With the arrival of the second enlightenment, Wyatt felt his thought process increase and understand what he could not previously. All he had to do was ask the right questions and the answers would present themselves to him.
With such miraculous assistance, Wyatt began to revisit all the obstructions he faced when he tried to come up with the equation to enter the ‘one with the world’ state physically whenever and wherever.
And this time around what earlier appeared to be incomprehensible were now revealing their secrets to Wyatt themselves. The process of figuring out the various variables and comprehending their parameters had now become fluid and easier than ever.
Together with the enlightenment and the assistance of the Hive AI, Wyatt was finally closer to creating an equation that would tell him just the right frequency to vibrate his physical body’s soul pathways to resonate with the vibration of the world and achieve the ‘one with the world’ state physically whenever and wherever.
“Is it wrong of me to think that Wyatt could not pick the worst time to gain enlightenment,” Ann muttered to Jill as they watched the numerous rune circles on the red light curtain come together to form one big array of rune circles.
After its formation, the array of rune circles began to pulsate rhythmically, signaling the arrival of something sinister and evil. All eyes stuck to the red light curtain, except for Team One that was guarding the boy, and Team Two that was monitoring the humanoid figure in black.
However, their attention was soon stolen by a bright beam of white light that shot into the sky illuminating the southern capital and eliminating the red shade and the dark clouds covering it. Receding the storm that was rampaging in the city.
As the sky cleared at the center of the bright beam of light, Wyatt could be seen floating while emitting a serine soul energy signature. His closed eyes suddenly opened, bright and pure brimming with knowledge.
The demigods in the city were having a hard time distinguishing his presence from that of his surroundings. They were seeing him but when they tried to feel his presence they could not distinguish it from its surroundings.
“The kid has achieved the ‘one with the world’ state physically.”
“Incredible, just incredible.”
The demigods were without words for Wyatt’s achievement. They felt joy and envy at the same time.
Having achieved the demigod realm they all were aware that there was a connection to achieving transcendence and the ‘one with the world’ state physically. They all have been trying and searching for various ways to become one with the world physically.
However, their progress was negligible. Similar to their strength compared to seasoned demigods like Field Marshal Heatsend. So seeing a mere card master achieve the ‘one with the world’ state physically they felt a shiver of hope that they too could achieve it one day. This was why they were more happy about Wyatt achieving the state that they desperately sought.
Soon the bright beam of light vanished, however, with its withdrawal the storm and dark clouds did not return except for the red shade illuminated by the red light curtain.
Opening his eyes Wyatt began to make note of the changes in the city grounds and looking at the red light curtain he said, “So they have summoned devils and demon army to bolster their numbers.”
However, before he could explore the red light curtain with his soul pupils, he felt malice directed at him in the force of the world.
This surprised Wyatt because the only will in the force of the world apart from his was the World’s Will. Since the world’s will had helped him create the equation to achieve the ‘one with the world’ state physically then it would not have any malice toward him.
Pizzuled Wyatt searched for the source of the malice directed at him through the force of the world and soon he found that the malice directed to him belonged to the humanoid in black.
How could he have forgotten it, he almost sinned. After all, it could be considered his half-teacher for teaching a wide range of possibilities and applications of the vibrations of soul pathways. Forgetting one’s teacher was a sin.
“What the—” Wyatt almost cussed after suddenly learning that the humanoid was not a demon or a card apprentice but a living corpse, a corpse puppet to be exact.
Wyatt had never seen a corpse puppet of such high rank, not to mention the high-rank transformation skill it was using. Therefore he was on the fence about its race. Was it a human, a demon, or a monster? He did not know until the force of the world hinted it to him.
Thanks to the connection between the corpse puppet and its master, Wyatt was easily able to track the puppet master to the outskirts of the city using the force of the world they both were connected to.
Wyatt was a little taken aback to learn that someone used a corpse puppet to destroy the Array formation protecting the Southern Capital for generations. However, feeling an evil and sinister presence fill the city atmosphere, Wyatt no longer spared thought to it and looked at the red light curtain and the menacing figures of varying shapes and sizes walking out of it.
