Mystical Journey
chapter-1321-30041322

If he had a High-quality Soul, perhaps he could gather a large amount of low leveled souls to obtain potential points. Moreover, he could gain the greatest benefits on a battlefield like this.

Once his train of thought had cleared up, Garen discussed everything in detail with the enormous beast Kratos, such as the exact particulars and theories of the Matrix. Both of them were fellows who did not adhere to the principles of good and evil. Finally, Garen became clearly aware of the origins of the enormous beast’s Matrix, although he was secretive about it. He relied on absorbing the souls and Prayers who had died in battle during the Blood Wars. Although there were not many, he did not dare to snatch souls from the Abyss. However, a mere 0.01% of that amount was enough for those two fellows to sneakily eat until they were full.

After discussing this matter for some time, Garen naturally did not dare to simply believe the other party. However, when Kratos vowed solemnly to find an Underworld River Oath for them to sign this contract, Garen then waited for this Underworld River Oath.

Meanwhile, he continued spending time in his cave instead while interrogating the three new captives that he had acquired.

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

After watching Garen’s silhouette left, Kratos arranged a Flame Isolation Boundary in a circle carefully.

Next, numerous beetles burrowed out of the ground behind him and formed themselves into a seductive female body.

“How did it go? How did it go with Maffey and Bakiloa that you contacted?” Kratos’ expression appeared solemn now after he had changed from his previously cautious attitude.

“I’ve informed them already. Bakiloa is extremely impatient. He was testing out a large-scale Blood Formation before I interrupted him. You will need to bear the cost,” answered the beetle-woman softly.

Kratos’ face was slightly contorted while a pained look appeared there faintly.

“Is Bakiloa willing to come?”

“Yes, but he’s extremely furious. He said that if you can’t give him a satisfactory reply, even the Wanku Fortress will not be able to stop him from devouring you.” The beetle-woman shivered. “I lost one-third of my torso just to meet him once.”

“He’s a Level Thirteen being indeed. He plays a part in the Soul Matrix this time as well. Anyways, our success rate will increase greatly as long as we obtain a Soul Divine Weapon.” Kratos’ gaze turned gloomy. “I really don’t believe that a mere little White Dragon can pass through three of our encirclements.”

“What if he really succeeds?” The beetle-woman asked anxiously.

“Then it won’t make any difference if we give him a share or not. I’m the only one who can activate the Soul Matrix. There’s nothing to be afraid of because I won’t be harmed no matter what happens,” said Kratos with a darkened expression. “There’s me, Level Eleven Maffey, and Level Thirteen Bakiloa, unless the Thane of Wanku… Hahaha.”

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

When Garen returned to his cave, the three Blasphemy Knights still remained unmoving there even though they were already awake and aware. Their pupils and face were the only parts that could move while the rest of their bodies were still numb.

The trio’s faces turned pale from fright when they saw Garen walking into the cave. Their gazes stared at Garen’s large mouth closely. They clearly thought that Garen was probably going to eat them.

Garen’s pure white body passed through the black Negative Energy Barrier. The inside of the cave was completely empty. There was nothing inside because Garen’s food and water were stored inside the Space Ring that Soaring Wing King had given him.

He walked toward one of the female knights and approached her one step at a time. Next, Garen grinned and exposed his mouth full of pure white and straight teeth.

Shh!

He bit the female knight’s head in one go.

Ahh!

A sharp pained cry rang out before Garen loosened his mouth. He looked at the female knight who had fainted and shook his head wordlessly.

“What are you afraid of? I was just scaring you for fun.” He was only joking around like this because he was extremely bored.

“Irene has always been cowardly,” said the male knight roughly. “If you want to kill someone, kill me first!”

“Still so strong-willed.” Garen shifted his gaze to look at this fellow instead.

He walked over and kicked this bastard away with one foot. Now was not the time to control these few people yet. He would wait until his Void Original Opus had finished simulating its original abilities. It would be perfect if he could condense an Aberrated Soul Seed like the one that he had in the Vampire World or perhaps the Hellfrost Peacock Queen’s Distorted Seed.

Garen twisted his body once he had walked to the center of the cave. He had recently increased his Void Original Opus to 64%. Thus, he could already feel that numerous changes were occurring throughout his body.

The Void Original Opus was originally a key factor in gathering every single trace of his strength to advance his True Soul.

This 64% value had already consecutively activated several Secret Techniques that he had practiced previously.

The Northern Trident Frost-Fire True Water Evil Technique, which was one of the more crucial ones, was already activated perfectly. The following one was the Seven Star Life’s Secret Point that he had practiced previously. These two sets of skills that were worth being called as terrifying Demonic Techniques were finally refined and launched.

This instantly made up for more than half of Garen’s martial power system within his entire body. It also replenished his supernatural powers greatly. If he encountered another Void Shadow, at least it would not be so troublesome anymore, since he could use his Semi-Divine Weapon to torture it slowly to death.

He looked at his remainder of more than 1600 Potential Points. Once he had removed 500 points, these were his only leftovers.

“I’ll try again and see if I can use these leftover percentages to rush upward.” Garen could vaguely sense that the Void Original Opus would require more Potential Points towards the back.

When he had added five hundred points previously, he could already faintly tell that the percentage would increase very quickly when he had first started but had become more strenuous towards the end.

“I’ll try again.”

He continued focusing his gaze on the Void Original Opus. His Potential Points continued to decrease greatly while the increments of the Void Original Opus rose once again.

Garen did not seem to notice that seven blood-red black stars had already started to gleam faintly on the wings on his back. These black stars were completely pitch-black, save for the faint red light that was dispersing around it. A still, strange and deathly aura permeated slowly and dispersed throughout the surroundings of the cave.

64%… 65%… 67%… 70%… After that, it got stuck.

After reaching 70%, the Void Original Opus got stuck immediately while his Potential Points continued decreasing wildly.

Garen had spent more than 60% of his Potential Value to increase it by 6%. However, even though it had stopped suddenly towards the end, his Potential Value continued to decrease while his Void Original Opus remained static.

His Potential Points that previously stood at over 1600 points quickly decreased to only 1400 points. After that, since his Void Original Opus was indeed unable to absorb the Potential Value anymore, his Potential Points stopped decreasing.

Garen could clearly feel that his body was somewhat bloated. It seemed like a large amount of gas had surged into his body as if he was a balloon.

“I can’t increase it anymore, huh?” He moved his body. “My current physical fitness has probably restricted my increments. The few powers towards the back of the Void Original Opus are too strong. It has fully revealed that this body is incapable of loading it completely.”

After all, the Hellfrost Peacock Queen Secret Technique that he had gained during the later period was already considered an extremely powerful and terrifying Demonic Technique. The Void Original Opus would simulate and fully restore and repair it to its original state.

In other words, all of the Secret Techniques and Demonic Techniques that he had practiced previously would fully reappear and converge in this body.

When he opened his eyes, Garen could clearly feel that his right foot was slightly swollen. He lowered his head to looked at it before noticing that a strange, dark blue sphere that resembled an ice ball had apparently grown on his right hind claw.

His heart trembled slightly when this blue sphere separated itself from his body suddenly while his right hind leg disappeared at the same time as well.

This blue sphere fell on the ground and cracked on its own before an imposing, faceless man arched out from the middle, holding a halberd.

The muscles throughout the man’s entire body were extremely taut, and his height was over two meters. His skin was pale while his long, dark blue hair flew in the wind. A silent evil energy permeated around this man’s entire body.

Aside from the halberd that he was holding in his hand, there were numerous translucent halberds behind him that were naturally slowly frozen by the frost.

“You’re my right foot?” Garen’s mind stirred faintly suddenly before he opened his mouth and asked this question.

The three knights inside the cave were currently staring dumbfoundedly after they had witnessed this scene. Intense chills that were tinged with evil energy poured into their bodies silently. They did not seem to notice that strange faint shades of blue had appeared throughout their bodies while their temperatures had started to decrease automatically.

The man with long blue hair nodded faintly. His body was naturally covered in a layer of magnificent and exquisite light blue Ice Armor.

“I obey you, my master.”

He seemed to have his own intelligence, but his awareness was interlinked with Garen’s own, making it seem as though Garen was conversing with himself or perhaps if he was talking to his reflection in a mirror.

Garen felt as if both his wings had shown signs of breaking away from his body at the same time. He complied with the stirring in his heart and allowed both of his wings to separate themselves from his body naturally.

Both wings fell on the ground and naturally transformed into an imposing muscular man with a black colored body. Both of his arms were spread open as if they were two gigantic wings.

Seven black-red, closely-packed cavities appeared on his back slowly. This man did not have a face as well, but his stern, short black hair and exaggeratedly burly muscles gave off an extremely terrifying sense of forcefulness.

This was Garen when he was the Overlords of the Blood Breed World and the pinnacle of the world’s martial arts.

He relied on the Seven Star Life’s Secret Point to dominate the entire world at that time. He was peerless and if it was not for Nadia’s appearance in the end, perhaps he could have ruled over the martial arts of that world for more than hundreds of years.

“You’re my pair of wings.” Garen looked at the other person calmly.

“Of course,” answered the man in a similar low tone.

Garen looked at these two body parts that had separated themselves from his body naturally. These were clearly the works of the Void Original Opus. Originally, they were neither fully unified nor had they converged in one specific body. On the contrary, they were separated into different individuals to match each other and combine together. When these individuals finally gathered, it was time for the strongest body to appear.

“The final one.” Garen could feel his long tail disappearing, before an elegant man, whose entire body was wholly black, reappeared while holding a violin.

The most unique part of him was his eyes. He had no other features on his face other than two eyes. His left eye was red while his right eye was golden.

“In my heart, everything is possible,” said the man calmly. “My master, I’m very glad to meet you.”

Garen noticed that a golden lotus was engraved on his violin.

This was the manifestation of the Holy Phoenix Scriptures, or perhaps the Holy Phoenix Demonic Book.

“Is this the path to domination?” This impression appeared in his heart faintly when Garen looked attentively at these individuals.

Achieving seventy percent of his Void Original Opus had revealed three of his previous states. The only ones that were missing were the Crystal King of the previous Mech World and the Hellfrost Peacock Queen.

Regarding these three individuals, Garen named them Evil Soldier, Demonic Book, and Seven Lives respectively.

When he looked at his dragon body that was already incomplete and imperfect, Garen’s will stirred before these three individuals returned to his body and transformed back into his right leg, two wings, and tail.

Two of the three knights had already fainted when Seven Lives appeared. When Seven Lives had just manifested, they were already contaminated by Evil Soldier’s ominous Spirit Energy that froze their bodies stiffly. Their entire consciousness and even their souls were inflicted with a temporary shock.

When he saw that his body was complete now, Garen faintly sighed in relief.

His right leg, both wings, and tail were the three parts that were flowing with powers. They were completely different from the strength within his own body.
