Gee!!

In the sky, a black carriage was pulled by a group of black hawks. It was moving forward at high speed, and from time to time, the black hawks let out sharp cries. As they flapped their huge wings, large amounts of air current were created, bringing their body odor along.

Within a specific radius, every creature with a sharp sense of smell would retreat, to avoid conflict with this group of yellow-eyed black hawks.

In the blue sky, waves of clouds passed the carriage. Down below was a vast plain, and the yellow-green mountains were like centipedes on the green expanse. There were also deep black canyons and green lakes, with strange howls faintly came from the surface.

Garen sat in the carriage and looked out of the window. He felt a wave of desolation coming towards him.

The vast plains didn’t seem to have an end to them. As the carriage was pulled by the giant hawks, it was unclear how long it would take the reach their next destination.

A cold white color appeared on the faint sunlight. It did not carry any warmth; all it did was reflecting the paint on the surface of the carriage.

Garen placed his hands on the window, as if he were admiring the beautiful scenery below.

In the carriage, Wukang was giving a dirty look at his female guard. Both of them were like glue as they were cuddling each other; it was obvious their relationship wasn’t normal. They didn’t even care about Garen and started flirting softly.

"We have swept a few strongholds but the Cthulhuists still haven't come out. Looks like if they weren’t preparing for a more violent counterattack that they would give up temporarily to convene their forces for their internal situation." Garen turned and looked at Wukang. "What are your thoughts?"

"It depends on your purpose, My Lord." Wukang patted the female guard’s waist and raised his head to look at Garen.

"The purpose. Since the Cthulhuism Society needs the Glittering Water, if we don’t gain something from them, wouldn’t all our efforts to conquer the Glittering Pond be wasted?" Garen smiled. After the chaos in Daniela ended, Hellgate would be awakened. At that point, the Royal Alliance will be completely destroyed and the Obscuro Society would grow in strength. If he didn’t take advantage of this time to obtain an advantage and strengthen himself, he would be in real trouble.

He didn’t think he could withstand the unstoppable Hellgate.

For Beckstone to escape, many elites behind him gave up their lives to rescue him, time after time, from Hellgate’s pursuit.

However that decision was made because Beckstone was the Terraflor Society’s brightest hope. Garen himself wasn’t a genius, like Beckstone. People from the Royal Alliance also weren’t that noble to sacrifice themselves for others.

Cthulhu’s Origin, and the Seed of the Ancestral God were the two best things in Daniela. One was the root of the Chulhuism Society, while the other was the root of Daniela’s king.

The Ancestral God was also known as the Wing God. It was the iconic guardian of Daniela’s royal family, and in fact, the source of its power was from the Ancestral God Pillar.

The extent of influence of Daniela’s royal family was dependent on the extent of power of the Ancestral God Pillar that the king of Daniela could unleash.

"In Daniela, the two best things are the Seed of the Ancestral God and Cthulhu’s Origin. Although both of these are good, but our power path is already restricted. It won’t be much use to us even if we obtain it." Wukang had evidently received sufficient information from the Black Swamp Palace’s information network.

"I wouldn’t be so sure of that. No matter what, if we obtain the two things, it’s not a bad choice for us to study it, or leave it for our future generations." Garen uttered.

"You must have other plans?" Wukang laughed.

Garen didn’t answer but tilted his head to look out of the window once again.

Naturally, he would not reveal that he knew how to use Cthulhu’s Origin.

According to the original history, he gradually realized that there was another key reason the Obscuro Society’s marshalls could raise their abilities with the Cthulhu’s Origin. It was because of the adaptee.

It just so happened that Kid knew about the production of an adaptee. After questioning, Garen completely understood the secret usage of Cthulhu’s Origin.

If the Seed of the Ancestral God could raise the innate ability of totem users, Cthulhu's Origin was a treasure that could evolve the human soul.

However, since Cthulhu's Origin consists of the Cthulhu King’s indomitable will, an adaptee has to be found to separate the Cthulhu King’s will.

An adaptee naturally has the energy and spirit to fight the Cthulhu King’s will. It's the best way to separate the Cthulhu King’s will.

There was only one adaptee out of the whole of Daniella.

It was the one with the Winged-God arm, Hannet Thunderstorm.

This mere 14-year old boy was already an infamous fugitive throughout Daniela. The Cthulhuism Society was in heavy pursuit of him, hunting him down everywhere to try to utterly destroy the only counter to the Cthulhu King. However, there had been no complete solution until now.

It was obvious that the king of Daniela was backing him up.

"To Daniela, we are mere outsiders." Garen opened his mouth to speak.

"Yes. Daniel has two major forces, the Cthulhuism Society and the Royal Family. Behind them are many elites, the form fours aren’t even the key deciding factors. Daniela has already gathered the strongest forces in the whole of the East Continent." Wukang nodded in agreement. "Honestly speaking, I do not recommend we intervene. The situation is too chaotic. If we are not careful, even you, Lord Garen, would face danger."

"Then why are you willing to come along with me?" Garen asked him back.

"I want to see and experience the strength of the legendary Cthulhu King and king of Daniela." Wukang laughed. "I don't have many hobbies other than lust and fights. Three days without a fight would make me panic."

"Then you must have a lot of similarities with Blizzard."

"Fighting with the same person all the time gets old." Wukang shook his head. "After entering into fourth form, the body has greatly evolved. We have lifespans far longer than others. With such a long life, wouldn't it be boring if we don't have some fun?"

Garen smiled without saying a word.

Currently, Cthulhu King and Daniela’s king were the main players. For outsiders like them to obtain sufficient benefit, they needed an actual squad.

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

Two days later...

In the night sky, four rays of red light soared through the dark night. They looked like four red lines before they stayed suspended in the air.

The four red dots of light blocked a black carriage that was flying speedily in the sky.

Buzzz!!!

The four red dots suddenly combined to form a squared red curtain, completely blocking the carriage from progressing.

"Hands up!"

Four voices of men and women overlapped as they said the same phrase, as if they were a single voice.

"You will be punished by the Gods!"

The voice echoed countless times in the sky.

At the same time, similar squared red curtains appeared around the carriage. They were a hundred meters away. completely surrounding the carriage in the middle.

Crash...

The carriage door was swung open.

Garen and Wukang slowly leapt out. A black cloud and water vapor beneath their feet caught them respectively.

"It’s you?" Garen recognized the male leader at one glance. It was the Cthulhu that was killed by him at the Glittering Pond. "You’ve recovered completely in such a short time? You even found a few helpers?"

Even he himself was dumbfounded by that terrifying regenerative ability.

The male in red stared at Garen with hatred.

"I wasn’t fully prepared before. I never thought you would dare to come to Daniela. Hehe. I’m going to hang you upside down, skin you, preserve you and make jerky out of your meat! I’m sure the texture would be very tasty…"

Garen furrowed his brows. The other party had four Cthulhus, which were all peak fourth forms. He wasn’t afraid of getting rid of them once. But after killing them, would they be back with eight Cthulhus?

If all eighteen Cthulhus were present, not only him, even the department director would be in fear.

He did not come to Daniela to attract hatred. Being in the limelight is not a good thing at all.

He was already at Daniela’s borders. If any major thing happened again, his purpose would be disrupted.

"Are we taking action?" Wukang asked softly at the side.

"If not, should we just stand here and get beaten?" Garen gave him a glance and raised his hands to act.

Bang!!!

A frightening white pillar of light came from above.

With incredible accuracy, it hit the curtain where the four Cthulhus were. Three other similar pillars fell from the sky, hitting the remaining three curtains.

The white giant light pillar was few meters thick. It was like a sudden bolt of lightning in the dark night. It came down in a flash, leaving afterimages on the retina.

"When have you Cthulhus become the boss of Daniela’s borders?"

A clear male voice sounded in the sky.

A white-robed, middle-aged man quietly appeared before Garen’s carriage, blocking off the two parties.

As the pillars of light disappeared, the Cthulhus’ curtains had been utterly destroyed.

After retreating when the giant pillar of light struck, they now stood in a separated formation

The four Cthulhus looked in displeasure at the white-robed man.

"Ankama, the King of Holy Lake!" A big sized Cthulhu opened his mouth. Unlike the Cthulhu that Garen defeated, once he opened his mouth, the others remaining instantly kept quiet. He was evidently the one with the highest position in this temporary squad.

"Aren’t you in the valley of the Ancestral God Pillar? Why do you have the time to come here?" The Cthulhu seemed to have heavy resentment towards the white-robed man.

"I go wherever I want. No one set the rules barring me from coming here for a walk, is there?" The white-robed man, Ankama spoke in a relaxed manner. However, from his expression, he had a deep hatred for the Cthulhu party of four.

"Alright!! Count yourselves lucky. I’ll let you all go today!" The Cthulhu stared at Garen coldly. "Pray that you never meet me again! Remember, I’m the Hurricane God, Weir!"

"Sixth Brother!" The Cthulhu that was killed by Garen cried in dissatisfaction.

"Shut up! Let’s go!" Weir stared fiercely at his counterpart. He pulled back his right arm, and with a crash, pulled a red cloak to cover the four of them. The cloak rotated rapidly and became smaller and smaller, until it finally shrunk to the size of a small red cloth and disappeared, as if it were squeezed into space.

Garen and Wukang stood silently suspended in their original position. Regarding the Cthulhus, even Wukang could defeat two of them at once. Not to mention Garen, who could torture them with one hand.

They just didn’t want to draw attention to themselves. They never thought the opponent would think they were scared.

No matter how strong the Cthulhus were, they were only normal peak fourth forms.

Their level was far from Wukang’s, who was a unique fourth form with unique techniques.

As if he noticed their belittlement, the white-robed middle-aged man turned towards them.

"Do not look down on them. One Cthulhu is not frightening. When two of them are together, their powers would increase. When there are three or four of them, they would produce an evil spirit light, which multiplies the Cthulhus’ power by two or more. Moreover, the sixth ranked Hurricane God Weir was present. Even a normal fifth form would not be able to escape their wrath."

Both of them instantly turned solemn, especially Garen.

He quickly did some calculations in his mind. Four Cthulhus plus the Hurricane God. The power needed to get rid of them was actually…..

If initially he could defeat the enemy with only an arm. Now with this…..still only an arm was needed.

He paused for a moment.

He initially thought they were strong. But after calculating carefully, they were still within his grasp. Even if their power doubled up, he could still defeat them with a punch each.

He didn’t even need to use more than 20% of the Black Water True Technique.
