Mystical Journey

A terrifying sun-like aura began to spread in the direction of the Three Great Holy Lords. The Union will soon befall…

“It seems like it’s not possible to wait for the Championship. The Union will befall soon…” Garen transmitted a voice message to Ice-Grand and Ice-Crack who were both standing behind him. Receiving his message, they both left quietly.

Soon, they left the stadium slowly together with Hong Guo and the others.

Bang!

With a loud bang, a huge Scarlet Light Pillar appeared out of thin air and descended down from the red sky. The metal-like Light Pillar landed on the ground heavily, surrounding the White Lion and the Three Great Holy Lords in it. It was almost impossible for the others to see clearly what was happening inside.

All the spectators were amazed at the Scarlet Light Pillar. No matter how many times they look at the Light Pillar, they could feel a strong, holy aura radiating from it.

Gasps of admiration could be heard continuously. There was a buzz around Garen as everybody started to discuss about the Union.

Except for Garen, whose eyes under his helmet were staring intently at the inside of the Light Pillar.

The Energy Machinist Extinction War had finally started…

A red light quietly lighted up on his index finger. It seemed like something was being contained in his fingertips.

As time went by slowly, Garen’s finger slowly pressed downwards. The red light on top was showing a tendency to turn dark.

*******************

In the depths of the Finite Nebula.

A huge celestial body whirlpool was in the middle of it. There was also an immensely huge white palace which looked like it was built during the ancient times. The structure and the stone pillars on the palace implicated its long, ancient history.

The palace’s sharp edges had worn off by the traces from thousands and thousands of years ago.

At this time, the shadow of a blood-colored flaming figure appeared on the palace’s long, white staircase.

The figure’s silhouette was burning in a red-colored flame. Countless, thick and dense black gasses encircled the figure. Each black gas had a twisted and painful human face, screaming in grief.

“White King.” The figure’s face was revealed. It was a young woman, with a glamorous face and strong features.

“The trajectory of fate can’t decide everything. The universe should be ruled by me, Wattana Gersa!!”

Her figure suddenly hopped on the stone steps. With every leap, the space surrounding the entire palace shook violently.

The women’s figure was like a dazzling red light. In a flash, she landed directly on the highest point of the stone steps in the large white square outside the palace. A white figure was already waiting there.

Without wasting any words, the woman in red light stretched out her arms. Her five fingers instantly turned into the sharpest terrifying weapon. Her entire body turned into a dazzling red-color and she lunged forward.

Two rays of light, one in white and one in red crashed into each other.

Boom!!!

Bang.

A drop of clear water dripped down onto the wooden table underneath the delicate and beautiful red rose.

“The Wraith Royalties finally made a move on the White King.”

A man in gold clothing at the side of the table had a serene and calm look on his face. It seemed as though he was talking about something extremely common.

“The White King of this generation is a man with great talent and bold vision. He has the ambition to unite the two great races.” An off human figure was floating in the air behind the man in gold clothing.

The head of the human figure was distorted and transformed constantly. It was a dark mist without a fixed shape.

“It depends on whether the Wraith Monarch will succeed in the challenge…”

**********************

Garen gently tapped his index finger which was glowing with a red light on to the table.

“Do it!” A subtle voice transmission was being transmitted to somewhere extremely distant through the distorted seed.

A slight ripple appeared on Garen’s white robe from being blown by the wind.

With a ‘swoosh’, the red light was slightly stunned. It seemed like something was happening inside it.

Almost at the same time, Garen jumped into the air from the place where he was sitting at.

Bang!

The chair shattered into countless fragments. A large amount of terrifying aura and energy field gathered at where Garen was formerly sitting.

Beneath the helmet, Garen’s face changed slightly and he quickly retreated backward. He was holding a black space jumping ball in his hands and just when he was about to smash it downwards.

In a flash, a white shadow suddenly appeared right behind him.

A huge energy field instantly locked Garen in place. His entire body was being forcibly held still.

The experts around could not even react to the series of sudden changes. By the time they did so, they found that the terrifying energy field of the shadow that trapped Garen was as deep as a black hole.

All the experts around left quickly. No one dared to stay at the scene since everyone could tell that the shadows were obviously going after Garen.

“What are you guys doing?” Garen’s deep voice came from under the gold helmet. It sounded hollow yet deep.

The white figure behind him laughed gently.

“Jeros… or Garen?”

Garen turned around to look at that person, who was removing the white headgear.

“You are…!” Garen was stunned.

Swoosh, the headgear ripped apart. It revealed a woman’s delicate and pretty face with a hint of boyish charm. Her short green-colored hair was flipping being blown by the wind.

“Do you still recognize me, Nono.”

The woman grinned, showing her white teeth.

“Celine…” Garen did not expect an encounter with Celine on such occasion.

Celine?! How did an ordinary Inherited Level appear in such a place? Moreover, she had such a tyrannical aura fluctuation. It was impossible!!

But if it was not Celine, then who could it be…? Suddenly, the most possible explanation popped up in Garen’s mind.

Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh-swoosh!

Four consecutive white shadows flickered and four white human figures appeared on Garen’s four sides, encircling him in the center.

Each figure was holding a sparkling crystal lamp in their hands. The wick of the lamp was burning with a subtle white flame. The small circular boards that slowly appeared right in front of them were the reason why the four figures were strong. It was a circular board that was as pure as a milky-white color.

“The Sublime Board!! Oh God, all of it are top-class Sublime Boards! They are from the North Pole!!”

A stunned honored guest suddenly stood up with a horrified look on his face.

“Level Nine… four Level Nine experts!! This is a planned assassination!! Quick, call the police!!” Someone shouted loudly.

That man’s voice echoed throughout the entire venue. There was a sudden chaos once everyone heard about the Level Nine experts.

Level Nine experts! What was the concept of it? They were the horrifying beings who were two levels above the Non-Falling Level. Four of these experts actually appeared together in one place. They were the top experts who were able to move the entire planet’s foundation!! However, four of them actually appeared in one place, together at the same time!

“We must inform the Three Great Holy Lords!”

Clang! Suddenly, countless Destruction Lasers exploded in the crowd unknowingly.

It was havoc as the crowd stood up and tried to escape frenziedly. Many ordinary people were trampled to death as the packed crowd rushed to escape.

Only a small number of great personages with guards were able to forcibly open a path through the crowd and leave.

“No…you are not Celine.” Suddenly, Garen who was at the center of the field said. “You are… Chinande!!”

Garen looked at his surroundings. Even he was frightened by the overwhelmed undisguised fluctuations of the several Level Nine experts around him.

“… What a… huge scene…”

“How can you be so sure? Your sensing ability really does live up to its reputation.” Celine was slightly surprised. He could sense the firmness in Garen’s tone. His face started twisting and instantly transformed into a countless number of faces. There were elderlies and youngsters. Also, there were men and women.

Soon, his face changed and turned into a cold yet familiar face — Carthage!

His entire temperament instantly transformed into Carthage’s cold temperament. It seemed as though every face that he changed into will have a unique personality match. This momentary change in the temperament and traits gave people a feeling that he had split personalities.

“I actually did not manage to fool you,” Chinande said coldly and emotionlessly. “Surrender yourself. For the time being, I don’t want to kill you.”

“It’s not up to you whether you kill me or not…” Garen grinned, but no one could see his smile under the helmet.

Swoosh!!

Suddenly, beams of white light descended from the sky. It surrounded Chinande and the rest of them from all directions.

One after another tyrannical aura rushed into the sky. A white circular board clearly appeared on each of their bodies. All of it was Level Nine Sublime Boards!

“So you want to fight? No problem!” The Double-Faced man’s gold armor appeared in the white light. The aura around his body was ambiguous. He did not fully release his Level Ten aura, but it was faintly enough to suppress all the Level Nine auras.

Chinande looked at his surroundings.

“Pointless struggle.”

“What about us?”

Before the sentence was completed, four black hole-like auras suddenly appeared around Chinande and the rest of them. The one leading was a tall woman with four arms.

Four Level Ten experts?!

Chinande’s lifeless pupil suddenly shrunk.

*******************************

Inside the huge, red light pillar.

The Union was an exquisite scarlet key which was descending slowly from the sky above the light pillar. Then, it headed towards the Backlight Holy Lord who was standing in the middle among the Three Great Holy Lords.

A faint buzzing vibration sound filled the air. The buzzing sound had a strange rhythm which gave people an extremely sacred feeling. If the most powerful Regent Level expert was present, the expert might be able to hear the thoughts of countless people hidden within it. It might be anticipation, it might be a prayer, or it could be anger. The willpower of countless energy machinists was linked and gathered on this exquisite key.

Apart from the Three Great Holy Lords and White Lion, only the three representative examiners who witnessed the ceremonial were inside the Light Pillar. The three of them were the representatives elected by the other sects, excluding the three major sects. They were all at the peak of Level Nine and were three extremely old elderlies. The youngest one had lived for more than 4,000 years, whereas the oldest one had lived for more than 9,000 years. He had witnessed the rapid development of the technology and the war between humans and the Finite people.

The three of them looked extremely old. They had long, braided, white beards, and were dressed in white robes with subtle blue fluorescent patterns on top.

The Backlight Holy Lord took the Union key and gently walked towards White Lion. He looked at White Lion who was kneeling on one knee.

“On behalf of all the energy machinists, I grant you the greatest honor.”

The Backlight Holy Lord reached out his hand and gently stroked White Lion’s head.

Right at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
