Mixulla used the Eiten Mirror to shine on Chad again, controlling his actions.On the other side, Frost Peony transformed into petals to rescue Chad but was blocked by Sten, who was wielding the Krumoll Sword.Chad knew that ten minutes would soon pass at that rate, and he would lose the time to save others.Then, the voice in his mind was furious. 'What are you still dawdling for? An incomplete you will only make things worse!'Finally, Chad gave up struggling and thought, 'I hope you don't disappoint me!'Chad suddenly felt something entering his consciousness as he relinquished control of his body. He could barely resist laughing, feeling a surge of madness!"I'm finally out!"At that moment, memories seemed to flood back, filling him with resentment and a deep sense of grievance, as if he had suffered an immense injustice.Furthermore, Chad realized that giving control to the voice meant that the voice had become a part of him. It was as if he had been incomplete before, an
Mixulla rapidly aged, transforming into a dried corpse right before their eyes. After completing that task, Chad looked at the deep pit in the middle of the hall and jumped in.The pit was enormous; Chad fell for a full half-minute before reaching the bottom. When he did, he was stunned. Thousands of hedgehogs filled the labyrinthine passages below.In the northeastern, the Five Great Shaman families included the Whiten family, known for their hedgehogs, which were legendary for curing all kinds of ailments. Those hedgehogs were scurrying among the cursed and poisoned people, treating them. Many had already woken up, looking around in terror, their worldviews shattered."You're here. Don't panic. With me around, nothing will happen to you!"Arthur's voice echoed, surprising Chad. Looking at the old man, Chad saw a pure white hedgehog perched on his shoulder.At that moment, Chad seemed to understand everything.Sir Holt, who had awakened, respectfully addressed Arthur."It's for
With the aid of the Whiten family's shamanic spirits, almost everyone managed to survive, despite a few who were weak and ill.The response from the Mystic Nine Bureau was swift. They quickly took control of Whitestone Hall and blocked all information from leaking out. The surviving envoys from various countries were then taken to an even more secret location.There, a meeting was held to discuss whether to disclose information about the firmament and the celestial realm. Chad attended the meeting and, for the first time, gained a comprehensive understanding of what had happened in the firmament over the past 50 years.Fifty years ago, 78 earthbound immortals from the Mystic community and over 100 peak martial artists joined forces in the firmament to fend off enemies.At that time, some developed countries also sent so-called ability users to help, but they only sent around 150 people in total. Due to technological limitations at the time, supplying materials and transporting pers
After the seal on his soul was lifted, Chad's personality changed significantly. He let go of his obsession with finding his sister and focused more on avenging her.As for his relationship with Matilda—they had no chance of getting back together. Chad did not even want to remarry; he found single life quite enjoyable.As the envoys from various countries who attended the meeting gradually left, Chad stood outside waiting for Sir Holt."You're still here!" Sir Holt said with a smile when he saw Chad. He knew Chad wanted to know the actual situation in the firmament."I'll be straight with you—your parents are fine, your grandfather is fine, and in fact, our troops suffered almost no losses. On the contrary, Saffronesia's forces were completely wiped out."Chad was surprised. "Wasn't the nuclear bomb brought in by the Saffronesians?"Sir Holt chuckled. "Did you really think your grandfather would just sit by? He had been waiting for the troop rotation, waiting for Saffronesia to a
Sir Holt looked at Chad and finally realized he had truly changed. He was unsure what had changed, but he could tell that Chad was no longer the same. The younger man exuded confidence.Yes, Chad had changed. He had always kept a secret deep within him—the truth about his sister's abduction. That had been a second self-imposed seal, in addition to the one his grandfather had placed on him. The recent nuclear explosion broke his grandfather's seal and the one Chad had put on himself.Chad recalled the events from ten years ago. During a winter break, he had an argument with his sister, who stormed out of the house in anger and never returned.When their parents came home, they realized she was missing. That led to an endless search, even mobilizing the entire town of Bloomington. However, there was still no trace of her after a month, and she never returned.Later, Chad's parents received a mysterious phone call, leading to a heated argument. The next day, they left a note.[We're
Thus, Top Jennings sealed Chad's arrogant and rebellious nature and found many influential mentors for him, ensuring that the Jennings family from the main house wouldn't dare to cause trouble.Only after making those arrangements did Top leave for the firmament, never to be heard from again. At home, Chad's parents simply told him that his grandfather had passed away before he was born.In the years that followed, Chad's sister was abducted. Chad believed that if it had not been for those cowards in the immortal realm, he would have had a happy and complete family instead of the aimless existence he had led for so many years.'Mystics from the Jennings family? To hell with them!' Chad cursed in his heart and fell asleep on the sofa.Around nine o'clock, Sir Holt woke Chad."Kid, wash your face and change your clothes; the memorial service is about to start!"Chad quickly freshened up and changed his clothes before following Sir Holt to the car.Outside Skylife Palace, floral tr
"Xavier, it's been a long time!" Zayan greeted Xavier with a bow, a customary gesture among the Mystics."I heard that you're going public with the news?" Xavier's question was subtle, but everyone present understood what he was referring to.Zayan sighed and nodded. "Yes, we have no choice after Saffronesia's actions forced our hand."Xavier, however, smiled. "It's a good thing to go public. This way, the Mystic community can flourish once again."To Zayan, though, those words sounded rather unpleasant. The peace Hacniane had enjoyed for nearly a century, and its development from poverty and weakness had little to do with the so-called Mystics.The high-ranking officials of Hacniane had always shared a common understanding—Mystic practices and martial arts must be kept within reasonable bounds to prevent chaos. For the past century, they had adhered to that policy, which had proven to be the correct approach.Looking at the crowd coming and going in front of Skylife Palace, Zaya
"Shut up!" Xavier cut off his son before he could speak further.He turned to Hector and said, "Let me think it over. Once the Kennington matters are settled, let's discuss them in Bloomington."Hector smiled and said, "Alright."After leaving Hector's car and returning to their own, Xavier scowled as he scolded Kenlin. "Do you know what you did wrong?"Kenlin respectfully replied, "I understand. I shouldn't have exposed our weaknesses to outsiders."Xavier reprimanded him sharply. "If you knew, why did you still speak carelessly? How we manage the Yggdrasil is our own business. Outsiders don't need to know."Even if we can't manage it well, it's not something Hector should know about. Your words just put the Jennings family at a disadvantage. Do you understand?"Kenlin hung his head in shame. "I understand my mistake."Xavier gave him a stern look and then turned to his grandson, Layden. "Layden, what would you do in this situation?"Layden responded confidently, "Our family
