Affinity:Chaos

Lucas took Grey away from the Dawson manor. Given what might happen, he didn't want to take the risk of Grey breaking through while they were in the manor.

Grey was a very important figure right now. At the moment, Grey represented hope, not just for himself, but the entire Aurora Continent as a whole. A person who can get to the God Plane would change the trajectory of the upcoming war. As long as they could hold on for a year or two, Grey should be able to get to the God Plane at that time.

This was the rise of a God, and with a God Plane Elementalist, the Gnomes wouldn't dare to attack them anymore. Not just that, but Grey would open the way for other Gods to emerge, making the Continent to have more Gods given the large amount of people that were already at the very peak, like Lucas and the other top powerhouses in the Continent that has been alive for hundreds of years, some even thousands of years.

….

Time went by as Grey prepared for his breakthrough.

Lucas was preparing for Grey's breakthrough, while Grey was also doing the same.

The entire Continent was still speaking of the apparition. This was a sign of hope for a lot of people, and they knew this very well. As for others, it was calamity.

To Necromancers, Grey is someone that shouldn't be allowed to grow. But to a certain extent, those Half-God Plane Necromancers wouldn't mind it if Grey got to the God Plane. The reason some of them got into necromancy in the first place is to increase their cultivation stage and try to attain the elusive God Plane. Once Grey opens the door, the rest will be able to follow his footstep.

….

Grey set up a large array in the place while Lucas went out in search of a few items that will increase the essence Grey could absorb. He wanted to make sure the essence wasn't short, so he had to prepare well for it.

Grey on the other hand was also using a gathering array that will act in such a manner and also hide his aura. He was a famous person that if wanted dead by a lot of people, if they sense him while he was in the middle of breaking through to the Sovereign Plane, he would find life difficult.

….

In the Moonlight Faction.

While Grey was preparing to break through to the Sovereign Plane, so was Klaus.

Compared to Grey, Klaus didn't need to fear that he might not get to the Sovereign Plane. He was in one of the top water elemental Factions in the entire Continent that deals with ice. There's no way there wouldn't be enough essence for him to break through.

The matter of the apparition was starting to die down, of course there were still discussions, but it wasn't as much as the first few days.

Klaus was in the Faction's special training ground. Sitting in the middle of a large block of ice, his eyes were shut.

Two women were present, watching him. It was as if they were there to make sure Klaus didn't escape.

All of a sudden, they heard Klaus laughing in delight.

"Haha! I'm definitely breaking through before that bandit."

Klaus laughed in ecstasy. His eyes opened wide and they glowed with a bright light. His hair stood straight to the sky, as it started to turn white, just like his eyes.

Klaus, in the middle of the ice seemed to have turned into a pure white snow. It was as if he hadn't seen or experienced anything bad. Given Klaus' nature, it was difficult to associate him with a pure person. Even his current psychotic laughter was a pure contrast to the energy he was giving at the moment.

His entire body was covered with a white glow as he actually started to absorb the ice around him.

"The sacred ice!" One of the women shouted.

"Quick! Get the Faction Leader!" The other woman with a higher cultivation stage said in panic.

"Don't worry, I'm already here." A serene voice sounded behind them and snow gathered before them.

The snow formed a figure. A lady who looked to be in her mid twenties appeared, but anyone who knew her knows that she's well over a hundred years. She was calm as she watched Klaus.

"The sacred ice, Goddess." One of the women bowed and said.

"Don't worry about it. I want to see what it makes of him." The Faction Leader said.

Klaus was still laughing like a psychopath as his figure absorbed more of the 'Sacred Ice'.

Unlike others, he didn't need the essence from across the world. The Sacred Ice was present and it will not only fill for essence, but it was the best thing he could actually use at the moment.

Klaus' figure started to freeze up, alarming everyone present, including the Faction Leader.

"Goddess!" One of the women called out I'm fear.

"Don't worry, he should be fine. He knows what he's doing." The Faction Leader said.

She had been with Klaus the most and knew his character, he rarely does things that endangers his life. He has a knack for locating ice elemental treasures. From the first time Klaus came to the Moonlight Faction, he has been wanting to come here. Only now that he was close to the Sovereign Plane did she finally agree to it. Now, she didn't know if it was a good thing or not.

The Sacred Ice started to reduce in size while Klaus' aura spiked in the process. The essence of the world started to gather.

The ice essence that came with it was purely different from when a Water Elementalist breaks through to the Sovereign Plane. All Water Elementalists only draw the water essence, but Klaus was drawing pure ice essence like an Ice Magical Beast.

Only Magical Beasts such as Ice Dragons and Phoenixes have the capacity to do things like these, but Klaus was doing it.

"The ultimate ice user is born."
