Mystical Journey

"The weather is gradually getting worse," Diofie said with a heavy heart. "The Weather Monitoring Directorate has verified the source of the abnormal snow. It has the same source of energy as the earthquake that erupted previously..."

"The other regions have called. They have also detected that majority of the destructive energy that destroyed the Polar City is related to the fluctuation that started the big snow," Medero said in a low voice. "Mariana from the Maria Region wants to join forces with us. They also discovered that a huge disaster that affects the entire Planet might occur. However, they could not detect the reason behind it."

"The Royal Region has also reached the same conclusion. Millions of people from the Titan and Polar City are gone! This kind of power should not exist within the Mother Planet! The people from the Royal Region will most likely bear the huge disaster that will affect the entire planet. The source of this calamity is a power that is beyond our limits."

"The people from the Central Academy has arrived. There are dozens of top experts who have come along," Finally, the bald man said in a deep voice.

"What do they want?" Diofie asked wearily.

"Dean, we have no choice. We must eliminate the root of all this," The bald man raised his voice. "If we do not remove the source, the disaster will gobble us up! Every single one of us!"

Diofie closed his eyes. He was physically and mentally exhausted. An overwhelming pressure was weighing down on him, and he seemed as though he was running out of breath.

"All the evidence is pointing at him. He is the root of everything! As long as we get rid of him, I believe that everything will return to normal," The bald man said loudly.

Bang!

The door of the battleship conference room pushed open heavily.

"He's right!"

A tall man in a white shirt walked in along with several people.

The man looked young, but there were traces of maturity and seriousness in his eyes. Clearly, he was much older than he looked.

"I'm Fiery Fear. Before the Central Academy arrived, they have already detected an abnormal high-energy organism entering the Blackboard Region. However, he did not raise any attention. Unfortunately, if we have paid more attention to that person since the beginning, this tragedy might not happen!"

He said with a serious look on his face.

"Thirty million people... were killed in the war, but that person..." He had a genuine painful expression on his face. "This can no longer be treated as a man-made disaster! We must treat him as a natural disaster!"

"Dean Fiery Fear," Diofie stood up with a respectful look on his face.

"The stability of the Mother Planet is fundamental to everything; it is the foundation of the people! Regardless of the upcoming disaster, or the unbearable sin and blood! The culprit must provide us a justification!" Fiery Fire said in a serious tone. "I have informed the older deans who are living in seclusion. Presumably, all the Non-Falling Levels from each the major states have started gathering... We will definitely be able to win this war!"

Diofie nodded his head earnestly.

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

A few days later, in the Blackboard Region.

In an unmanned mountain forest villa.

Garen brought along Turing and forcibly occupied the holiday villa. They made the owner of the villa leave by dropping a hint. They even got rid of the robbers nearby who were about to attack the villa.

The snow in the Blackboard Region was getting heavier.

A thick layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground, and the land turned from a warm season to a winter.

In the study room of the villa.

Garen looked at the girl, Tesna, who was frozen in a block of ice. Although the girl had similar appearance and temperament as the female disciples who was under him previously, her personality was completely different.

This girl had a straightforward and a slightly impulsive personality.

Even after the war had triggered an earthquake, this silly girl insisted on burying herself on the ground.

If it was not for Garen suddenly recalling that a person he was testing was still under the ground, the girl would most probably be frozen to death.

Basically, she had a one-track mind. Describing her in a nice way, she was straightforward. However, to put it in a bad way, she was a fool...

"One of them got away. You did not manage to complete your job..." Garen was sitting in the study room while he looked at Turing who was kneeling in front of him. The huge werewolf was as tall as him even when he was kneeling down.

"I'm incompetent," Turing said with guilt. "At that time, I was stunned by the vibration of the Star Core. Therefore, that person used the long distance space jump to escape. I shall bear this responsibility! Please punish me, Master!"

"I'll pass it to you to deal with it," Garen responded with his eyes closed. He seemed to be too lazy to continue talking, so he waved his hands casually.

He was trying to prepare his body and mind for the energy tide eruption tomorrow.

"I will try my best to catch the last person!" Turing stood up and answered firmly. Then, he strode out of the study room.

The door closed gently.

In a short while, a figure once again pushed the door open. It was not Turing, but the Ice Dragon from the White Light!

An Inherited Level expert dressed in expensive clothing walked into the room with a straight face.

"Are you planning to imprison us here just like that?"

He walked up to Garen, pulled out a chair and sat in front of him. Not a shred of urgency could be seen.

"Why not?" Garen opened his eyes and smiled.

Garen must admit that Ice Dragon was very handsome when he was calm. He also had a great temperament. Yet, why did he put up an upstart act? Clearly, he was someone with a history. Unfortunately, Garen was not interested in knowing his story.

"White Whale and the rest of them sent me to ask you, what are you planning to do to us?" Ice dragon asked casually. He glanced at Garen, a man that he had once met for a short while. At that time, Garen was just at Resonance Level. However, Garen had now reached a terrifying level after only a few decades.

Therefore, he still couldn't be sure that this Garen was the Resonance Level student with whom he had once fought.

Garen looked at the rumored lunatic who was standing in front of him strangely.

"Do you think that I will kill all of you?"

"Are you not going to?" Ice Dragon raised his brows. "There are 6.8 million people who lived in Titan City, and including the migrants, you have killed tens of millions of people. The tens of millions of people in the Polar City are just like ants that you step under your feet, so why would you hesitate to kill the few of us?"

Garen smiled lightly when he heard a trace of resentment in his voice.

"Would you believe it? An overwhelmingly huge disaster is approaching soon."

"Isn't that you?" Ice Dragon said affirmatively.

Garen ignored him.

"This disaster is bound to happen, and everyone with a willpower will be severely injured. The Mother Planet will turn into a mess, and no one will be able to generate willpower ever again. The Mother Planet will be isolated from the rest of the universe, it will become a testing ground for those who are at the top."

Ice Dragon frowned deeply. "What do you mean by this?"

Garen looked at him.

"The funny thing is, everyone thinks that I'm the culprit of this calamity," He said with a funny look his face.

"Now they are gathering and planning to execute me together for a disaster that is unrelated to me. Isn't it funny?"

"I don't think it's funny." Ice Dragon answered lightly. He had struggled through battles all year round for a breakthrough, having a close shave with death multiple times. Unfortunately, due to his limited qualifications, he was only able to reach the peak of the Inherited Level. He was the only one who was not afraid of dying among the high-ranking White Light members who were captured.

"Aren't you the culprit?"

Garen shook his head without providing any explanation. He knew that explanations will only seem like a cover up to the outsiders.

He had made preparations to absorb the energy tide by covering the three regions with dark clouds. However, he did not expect to be seen as a culprit for drawing the energy tide.

Garen stood up. Even he himself did not know why he did not kill all of them instantly. He was just following his gut.

Other than the Seventh Divine Wind General, Fila was the only one whose whereabouts were unknown. Garen had unfrozen the rest of the people and allowed them to move freely in the villa.

Garen walked toward the window and looked outside through the glass panels. It was still snowing out there. Layers and layers of large snowflakes covered the ground.

The world seemed to have suddenly turned into an icy world, and there were no signs of humans outside. Due to the bad weather and the vibration previously, only those who had a death wish would wander around the wilderness.

"The Polar Region has been completely destroyed. The people from the Blackboard Region, the Maria Region, the Royal Region, as well as the Central Academy, and the experts from other states... All the Non-Falling Levels too, they have all gathered, heading in my direction. Do they think that this is a game? By gathering all the heroes, do they think they can fight against me?" Garen said calmly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"The Mother Planet is not only supported by local forces!" Ice Dragon said calmly.

"Of course, I know. It is also the energy machinists' territory," Garen smiled. "What is controlling the Mother Planet? The magnetic field? The Nebula? Or the Black Sword? It should be the Nebula. No... It should not be just a single force, it should be a testing ground which occupied the three major forces..."

Ice Dragon's pupil shrunk slightly. A testing ground?

It was the first time that he had heard about this secret.

"Okay, it's time to go and see our beloved Seventh Divine Wind General." Garen patted the non-existing dust off his body. He wore a robe which was as white a snow, walked out of the study room and walked downstairs.

More than a dozen people were sitting in the hall. All of them were the top high-ranking members of the White Light organization. Light Wielder was the only one who stood among the crowd, and he was the strongest among them. He was a shadow, and his whole body was wrapped around a white robe.

Garen looked at this group of people. He saw how they were alerted and scared. They did not dare look at Garen, instead, they lowered their gazes one after the other.

The distorted seeds that he fed them must have begun to work. After a short while, it will condense into a power that he could use for himself.

For the time being, Garen ignored them and went straight to the basement. Ice Dragon followed behind him closely. Garen did not stop him and allowed him to follow along.

The basement was gloomy and cold. There was a block of ice in the middle, and the Seventh Divine Wind General's body was frozen still in it. Only his head was exposed in the air.

"Why didn't you just kill me!?" The Seventh Divine Wind General looked extremely pale, and there was no color in his cheeks. When he saw Garen walking down, he still had a cold look on his face.

"Kill you?" Garen shook his head. "Previously, you punched me and almost completely cut off the relationship between me and the pilot, but you didn't kill me. Therefore, I will not kill you for the time being."

"I regret not killing you at that time!!" The Seventh Divine Wind General said ferociously. He knew that he will not be spared, so he had given up completely.

"If I have known that you would have grown this strong, I would have made up my mind and go against Six and kill you. That will save us all these troubles!"

"If you have known? If you have known, you wouldn't have just reached the Inherited Level," Garen said sarcastically. "It's impossible for anyone to predict the future of the people they have met. You should know that only geniuses have this ability..."

There was a profound meaning in his words.

"What is the point in saying all these now? Just kill me," The Seventh Divine Wind General closed his eyes. "Didn't you come just for this?"

"Kill you? You're so useful to me, why should I kill you?" Garen had a strange look on his face. "It's just that, I wanted to study the ability to retrieve an expert's memory. Theoretically, parts of an ordinary person's memory can be replicated. However, it is different for an expert… You can also technically considered as an expert."
