Chapter 929 - 394: The World’s Response (Part 3)
Leman wanted to repair the Magic Array and continue its assault, but the body of the Secret Ceremony Master was no longer sustainable, with his Life Force burned out, his flesh began to turn to ashes.
Time was running out.
Leman fixed his gaze firmly on Wu Chang before his body dissipated, saying, "I’ll remember you, I’ll be waiting for you in the Realm of Reason."
After delivering his harsh words, the Secret Ceremony Master’s flesh completely vanished.
Wu Chang shook his head slightly, thinking he really was popular, even before the World Dungeon had begun, so many were already waiting for him in the Realm of Reason.
As the Secret Ceremony Master’s body burned out, an Item fell from the ashes and landed on the ground.
Wu Chang raised an eyebrow, wondering what it meant, did the Relic explode?
He approached and found the Item on the ground was a seal with Leman’s emblem, somewhat similar to the Traveler’s Talisman he had received earlier at the Moonlight Sanatorium.
「Item Name: Power of Leman」
「Item Type: Special Item」
「Item Description: A Divine Power Crystal from Leman, containing Leman’s Divine Power inside.」
「Item Skills: Power of Leman」
「Skill Description: A Peace Church follower acknowledged by Leman holds the Power of Leman, can temporarily borrow the Divine Power inside, enhance Skills’ power, and reduce Skills’ Energy consumption. Consuming the Item can unleash a blow containing Divine Power.」
「Note: Only with supporting Divine Power can the true Power of Authority be wielded.」
Wu Chang picked up the Power of Leman; he discovered that although the Skill Description limited it to Peace Church followers acknowledged by Leman to use the Power of Leman, when he obtained the seal, he found he could also wield Leman’s Power within it.
It seemed that possessing Leman Authority, he was recognized as Leman himself, bypassing the judgment directly.
From the information in the Note, it seemed if he simultaneously used Authority while activating the Power of Leman, a special effect might occur.
He knew Leman was a god of principles, it was impossible for him to come empty-handed.
Putting away the Power of Leman, he looked up towards the sky of Grimland.
The Steam Council and Peace Church had already retreated in succession, it was unclear if the Steam Phantom Dungeon would end, but now, the wind brought by Xavier’s condensation of Divinity had completely stopped.
Time rewound to when Xavier just condensed Divinity, bombarding Bai She Avenue wantonly, the Divine Tongue relieving Randy’s abnormal Status, Wu Chang was about to take flight.
Apart from Wu Chang’s side, another battle was simultaneously occurring in Grimland tonight.
Underneath Saint George’s Cathedral, Phantom slowly approached Olivia, asking:
"I have one last question, you’ve foreseen so many situations, did you foresee the events about to happen now?"
Facing Phantom’s inquiry, Olivia sensed the abnormality, her face was icy, her tone somewhat weary, she said:
"Phantom, are you going to betray me?"
Phantom shook his head, smiling as he said:
"Betray? Of course not."
"My alignment has never changed, I’ve always followed the times, standing on the side of the Plane."
"Her Majesty, you are not the Plane Son, destined not to reach the end, why should I stand by you."
Phantom approached Olivia, Olivia like a panicked white rabbit was forced to keep retreating.
Phantom listened to the whistling sound at the ventilation outlet, and he said:
"Her Majesty, listen, the wind has risen, this is your world responding to the Plane Son."
Olivia gently bit her lower lip, softly asked: "When did you betray me?"
Phantom thought for a moment and said: "The first night I entered Grimland."
Olivia said: "I thought it was after the Extraordinary gathering."
"Extraordinary gathering, heh." Phantom scoffed disdainfully.
"An existence as dazzling as mine, even in the darkness can attract people’s attention, there’s no need for such clumsy tricks to catch eyes."
"When I first entered Grimland, those Black Robed people claiming to be the Steam Council approached me, suggesting collaboration."
Olivia’s expression gradually calmed, she said: "They found you first, so you joined them?"
Phantom shook his head saying: "Of course not, not everyone is qualified to collaborate with me."
"Initially, I didn’t trust them, but their leader showed me his power as Plane Son, a power I couldn’t refuse."
Under Phantom’s pressure, Olivia retreated to the deepest part of the underground space, her back against the wall, unable to retreat further.
She could only stand upright and ask:
"What is the power of the Plane Son?"
Phantom explained: "It is the power to direct world development, representing the world trend, an unstoppable force."
"Once such power is tapped, it can influence the entire world with just one person, causing the world to revolve around him. Fighting with the Plane Son is a very unwise choice."
Phantom paused and continued:
"Of course, not every Plane Son can harness his power."
"Some Plane Sons can influence Plane Rules with their own abilities, altering the world’s trend; some Plane Sons just happen to ride the crest of the world tide, occupying the Plane Son’s mission without realizing it."
While speaking, Phantom recalled Glad.
As the leader of the Liberal Party promoting industrialization and free trade, Glad relied on occupying the windfall of the Plane trend, occupying the mission of Plane Son.
Unfortunately, his life was too comfortable and was too repressed by Prime Minister Ron, resulting in no opportunity to discover his mission as Plane Son.
Phantom drew his Sabre with a tone of regret and said:
"Her Majesty Olivia, to be honest you are actually my ideal type, if I had met you first, perhaps I would have chosen you."
"As your admirer, I will grant you a swift end."
Olivia: "Wait!"
Phantom hesitated in his actions, and asked: "Do you have any last words?"
Olivia pointed upwards and said: "Listen, the wind has stopped."
Phantom showed a frantic expression on his face; at first, he thought it was a metaphorical way of begging for mercy, but when he calmed down and listened, he found the outside wind really had stopped.
An ominous foreboding appeared in his mind, could it be that Peace was indeed as powerful as legend, able to triumph over Plane Son even when Plane Rules were fully influenced?
Olivia continued to say;
"You mentioned the wind rising as the world’s response to the Plane Son, then the wind stopping, isn’t it the world’s response to me?"
Phantom froze for a moment, instinctively wanting to correct Olivia, that the logic wasn’t so straightforward.
But before he could speak, he saw steam gush forth in the underground space, the steam was so dense it seemed like real cotton, completely covering his vision.
All his abilities within, including his proud Power of Root, were all suppressed by the steam rules, unable to be used.
Within the steam, Olivia’s voice came faintly:
"Since you know there is more than one Plane Son, then why can’t I be one?"
