Mystical Journey

"Okay then... I'll wish you good luck in advance." Dark Light said reluctantly after being quiet for a moment.

"Believe in yourself," Garen smiled.

The three of them strolled by the river. They chatted about their past and future plans. Most of the time, Garen was the listener and he paid attention while listening. After all, there was a huge gap between him and the two of them. The astonishing abilities of a transmigrater alone were enough to change him completely within a short amount of time.

In fact, for most of the common topics, Garen already knew the answer and where it will lead to. However, he was patient and continued to listen quietly to what Dark Light said.

Perhaps, it may no longer be this peaceful after a short while.

Garen could feel his own distorted seed growing rapidly and silently. One after another expert was being polluted and became a parasite. Almost all of them were Level Nine energy machinist. Among them, two parasites of the distorted seed broke through to Level Ten. Also, there were more than ten people who broke through from Level Eight to Level Nine.

This was an extremely brutal power and he believed that it will definitely surprise Chinande…

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

Boom!!

Huge, red fireworks were being continuously set off throughout Planet Naga in the sky. It seemed like a huge, flower garden in the sky, each fireworks' flower petals were so life-like that even the fine textures on the petals could be seen.

As the flower fireworks scattered naturally after its explosion, it turned into countless red light sparks.

Garen sat quietly at the honored guest seats during the finals. He was a contestant who represented the Sect Master to participate in the competition. Both Ice-Grand and Ice-Crack stood behind him.

Similarly, those around Garen were Sect Masters of medium-sized sects and large-sized sects. Each one of them had an imposing manner and a huge aura of someone with great power. Even the waiters who served the refreshments could feel their overwhelming presence.

It was not the pressure from a force field, but the pressure from someone with great power which gave people an oppressive impression.

As compared to the quirky image of the other Sect Masters, Garen's white robe and golden helmet was nothing special.

The competition had started for some time. When Garen arrived with his people, three rounds had passed and it was now the fifth game. The two competitors could barely express the strength of an ordinary energy machinist under the 1,600 times force field pressure. They were both setting all kinds of traps since they both had a sinister characteristic. There were all kinds of tricks and schemes. Although it was not a hot-blooded scene, it was an extremely sinister and evil one.

Garen closed his eyes, none of the Sect Masters took the initiative to talk to him. The Scarlet Snow Sect violated the rules set by the Federation of Energy Machinists. Before the Three Great Holy Lord could fully come to a conclusion on this matter, any unknown reckless actions will affect each Holy Lord unfavorably. Therefore, to avoid trouble, everyone avoided speaking to Garen.

Garen and the both of them were quite happy about it.

Match after match went by. Garen was no longer interested in all these normal class matches, his main focus was on the distant Nebula headquarters.

Over there, all the distorted seeds inside each parasitic expert were being sold at a high price to friendly allies through a scheme. The Level Nine experts were being constantly engulfed one after the other.

Buzz!

There was a buzz in Garen's head. Another Level Ten was born...

The terror of the distorted seed was evident.

This was the true fourth Level Ten among Garen's parasites.

"Basically, those who can be infected through contact had been infected. The others are very cautious, so we will not succeed anytime soon." The Double-Faced Man's voice was transmitted through the distorted seed.

Part of Garen's focus was on the matches and part of it was on the inside of the City of Nagadako. All kinds of strong parasites had their aura densely and evenly distributed almost in the entire City of Nagadako.

"Do you have any news about the Three Great Holy Lords? Especially the Demon Lord Team."

The Demon Lords that he referred to were the modified humans. They were the Holy Lord Level modified humans. The biochemical pool and energy machinist platform of a Holy Lord Level cannot compare to those of an average person. Modified humans created through such technology were far more powerful than what ordinary people had imagined. Moreover, they can provide resonance and also increase their Holy Lord's power tremendously.

This was also the reason why people would want to get rid of the Demon Lord modified human team before dealing with the energy machinist Holy Lord.

"There has not been any news and it is very peaceful. Strangely, the Magnetar Holy Lord seems to be way too calm about our actions. Could it be that they do not care or they are unaffected by it?" The Double-Faced Man said in a dubious tone.

"What about the rest of them?" Garen was asking about the other Level Ten Holy Lords. The few newly promoted Level Ten did not believe when Garen talked about how serious the crisis was. However, they still did all kinds of preparative jobs just to be safe. At the same time, they went around to investigate and gather information.

"After they understood your involvement in this, they went everywhere to investigate about it. It seems like they discovered something. They might have made a move on the other party secretly." The Double-Faced Man laughed creepily. "Since they are not cooperating, it would be great if they suffer some losses."

"Be careful, they'll make a move within these two days..." Garen said lightly.

"Rest assured. I know my boundaries." The Double-Faced Man said casually. "Based on my initial estimation, they must have used the power of five Perpetual Motioners and Level Nine experts from the North Pole. They even sent the direct subordinates of the White King from the North Pole. Moreover, they also sent the Royal Star Force and Spirit Deity from the Scarlet Mourning Hall Union... it seems like they are really worried that we are not fully doomed..."

"It's good that you understand the situation." Garen had a calm look on his face. "We will have no choice but to abandon those who don't listen to our commands."

"Four of us should be more than enough. Together with the other two Holy Lords, I doubt that they can do anything about it!" The Double-Faced Man's voice gradually got weaker and he slowly disconnected.

Garen remained expressionless under his helmet. Even though all the parasites were not able to hurt him, including the Double-Faced Man, but they were starting to show signs of disobedience towards his commands. However, this was within Garen's anticipation. Although the distorted seeds were able to greatly increase the power of the parasites, due to their chaotic nature, the parasites will not necessarily obey their parental orders.

"Soon... very soon..."

Matches passed by, and it was the finals. All the Non-Falling Levels were showing off without any reservation. The first three divisions were still on the low-profile side. Then, the aura of the Non-Falling disciples filled the air. From time to time, two Non-Falling Light Pillar will appear and draw everyone's attention.

The elites of the bigger sects were all at the Non-Falling level. There were also a few Non-Falling Levels from the medium-sized sect. Hong Guo and his team had just gone up and they had no choice but to throw in the towel and give up. As compared to their previous below the average ranking, they were able to increase their rank above the average by entering the finals. There were a large number of energy machinist sects and the variously sized sects summed up to about a hundred sect. It was already a huge achievement to be able to rank above average under such situation.

After Hong Guo and his team left the stage, the entire Scarlet Snow Sect had completely become audiences. They sat quietly in their seats to observe the remaining matches.

Dark Light, Jade Dragon, and White Lion charged in with a victorious gesture one after the other. Taking center stage, no one was able to stop them.

There were also a few rare geniuses among the crowd who were previously unknown to the public. This time, they appeared with a skyrocketing potential. They had an endless variety of rare killing moves. Some of it was created by the disciples themselves and some were ancient secret tactics found from the ruins.

Although the secret tactics were fairly weak, some of it was useful even to experts like Garen. Therefore, everyone paid much observation and attention in anticipation of their performance.

Time went by gradually and soon, the day was over.

Nothing happened overnight and the entire Planet Naga was abnormally quiet.

The competition went on as usual the next day.

Soon, the champion was chosen among all the players.

Somehow, Jade Dragon was heavily injured last night and remained unconscious still. Whereas Dark Light forfeited his participating right and disappeared without a trace. There was a rumor saying people saw both of them fought due to some disagreements and they were both heavily injured.

That rumor was oddly convincing since it was being described with great detail.

Garen was not able to contact Dark Light even after transmitting a few voice messages to him. Gradually, a clear conspiracy theory started to form.

White Lion, a brutal young man with a head of wild white hair was the champion of this competition.

The mayor came forward as one of the Three Great Holy Lords, Backlight, and awarded White Lion with a trophy.

White Lion's magnetic field began to celebrate. The elders from the other sects represented their sects by giving a speech on the stage. All the sects seemed to be in a joyful mood. The magnetic field experts and disciples started the huge celebration by distributing invitations to all the influential experts. The sky was filled with celebratory pink petals and a cheerful music was played.

White Lion went up the stage with a smile and was prepared himself to receive the energy instillation from the joint efforts of the Three Great Holy Lords.

The Three Great Holy Lords appeared. From left to right, it was the Magnetar Holy Lord, the Backlight Holy Lord, and the Black Blade Holy Lord. Their faces were distorted under a white light, and only their silhouette and postures could be seen.

Everything went on in an orderly manner.

Layers of strong barriers continue to rise as Planet Naga began to draw one of the three greatest treasures of the city, the Union.

No one knew where the location of the Union was. It was an extremely tyrannical equipment made by energy machinists. It can only be created by gathering countless experts, elites, geniuses, and energy in one place. Its greatest role was to forcibly raise the Level of all the energy machinists to any Level below and including Level Eight. It also had a terrifying ability which allowed their owner to instantaneously combine forces with the power of the same type which was within the range.

This meant that as long as the treasure was still in the hands of the Three Great Holy Lords, there is no need to worry of an enemy attack. The Union will instantly link the willpower and energy of all the Level Nine, Level Eight, Non-Falling Level experts together with the Three Great Holy Lords to form a strong body of energy that was beyond compare. This body of energy was extremely strong even among the Regent Levels, and an ordinary Regent Level will not necessarily be able to beat it. Together with the other Regent Levels who had a good relationship with the Three Great Holy Lords, the status of the energy machinist can then be as stable as a mountain.

This treasure can only be actively drawn by Backlight. Therefore, Backlight was appointed as the Mayor of Planet Naga.

Garen had a feeling that his plans can no longer keep up with the changes when he saw how fast the situation was developing. Instead of following the usual sequence, the pilots had eliminated Dark Light and Jade Dragon out of the competition.
