Hail the King Chapter 1231

Chapter 1231: Before Going Back (Part One)

"Just because of this type of rock?" Fei couldn't believe it as he looked at the fruit of Cain's research.

"The white mist that can corrode spirit energy is made from the powder of these sword-shaped crystalized rocks? A type of ordinary rocks on Earth has such power?"

"According to the people on Earth, it is called aragonite, and its chemical formula is CaCO₃. It is a rare mineral, and it is crystalized, looking like spearheads or small thick swords. They are usually found in the shape of hexagonal crystals of threes…" Cain started to explain using the mineralogy jargons.

"Alright, alright, alright. You have only been on Earth for a few days; do you really think that you are a scientist now?" Fei interrupted Cain without hesitation and said, "Just directly tell me how this thing corrodes spirit energy. How will it be helpful to us?"

"It is extremely effective. It is said that the Americans discovered the effect of this type of minerals coincidentally, and they ground these rocks into powder and turned them into a mist. That is how they used it to corrode the spirit energy of the bugs. If we use it according to the magic arrays and alchemy theories, I'm confident I can make a potion that can instantly destroy G.o.d-level spirit energy waves and frequencies. This type of crystals is unique, and I can't really explain why such crystals contain mystical energy," Cain explained while pondering, "According to theories, a place with scarce energy like Earth shouldn't attract the Polluters' attention. However, the Polluters did come. I suspect that the Polluters didn't come here to hunt but to get something. Perhaps getting such crystals is one of their missions. After all, such crystals counter the spirit energy of the bugs too well! It almost seems like these crystals were created to be the bugs' kryptonite."

"So powerful?" Fei grabbed a white crystal and emitted a trace of spirit energy. Just as he expected, his spirit energy had a hard time penetrating deep into this crystal. When he mimicked the spirit energy frequencies of the bugs, they were instantly destroyed.

Such crystals were indeed the perfect counters to the bugs!

"What about the suppression of spirit energy? I remember that there was a mystical power in the room where the Americans kept Zhong Dajun. It seems to be a force beyond the laws of nature, and it can suppress all forms of spirit energy to an extreme degree. Did you find the source?" Fei asked as he put away the white crystal in his hand.

"We only found a large deposit of such crystals a few hundred meters below that room. Except for that, there seems to be no other reasons. One thing is for sure; the large deposit of aragonite isn't the reason that your spirit energy was greatly suppressed." Cain also looked confused when this matter was brought up. "Also, the interesting thing is that except for you, others like Torres didn't sense their spirit energy being suppressed in that room."

"What? Fei was shocked. "Only I sensed this power?"

"Yeah." Cain nodded and said, "Let's go. That place has been dug open by us. Perhaps you will make some new discoveries."

While talking, the two walked forward and soon came to the room where the Americans kept Zhong Dajun when the latter fainted.

This room was already hundreds of meters below the ground, and it now looked completed different after the second exploration. The Joint Laboratory was now the top-tier organization on Earth. Under the guidance of people like Cain, a ma.s.s-scale operation took place here. The ground was dug, and a ton of aragonite was taken out and safeguarded as a strategic resource. Now, a big mine pit replaced the former room.

As soon as Fei stepped into the mine pit, he released his spirit energy.

This time, he confirmed that his spirit energy which was in the peak G.o.dly King Realm was suppressed to about one-ten-thousandth, falling back to the peak Moon-Cla.s.s Realm. He felt like a supreme G.o.d was hostile toward him and limited his abilities.

Cain and other masters of the Northern Region Empire didn't feel anything.

Chapter 1231: Before Going Back (Part Two)

"What is going on?" Fei was shocked. He slowly walked in a mine tunnel and carefully sensed his surroundings. His spirit energy rushed out like waves and gradually captured some patterns. When he moved toward the northwest direction, that suppression force became stronger.

"Is there something hidden underground?" Fei guessed something.

With G.o.dly light illuminating around him, Fei dashed into the ground like a G.o.dly dragon that dashed into the ocean. He continued to search around and moved toward the northwest while das.h.i.+ng downward.

His instinct wasn't wrong.

The further he moved in that direction, the more suppressed his spirit energy was. In the end, it dropped to the Half-Moon Realm.

"There must be something here." Fei was sure of it as he quickly moved toward the northwest direction.

After Fei moved downward for a long while, the soil around him gradually became hot. Suddenly, he could only see red before him. He actually dashed into the core of Earth. Lava was all around him, and he felt the shocking temperature outside his protective s.h.i.+eld.

Two golden light beams dashed out of Fei's eyes, penetrated the lava, and searched around.

At this place, his spirit energy was suppressed so much that he could only inspect everything around him with his eyes, trying to find the source of the suppression.

"I see it… that is… oh G.o.d! It is unbelievable! It is… a set of armor…"

Fei didn't expect to see a set of silver full-body armor at the Earth's core.

This set of armor was no different from a real person, and it was slowly floating in the lava. As if it had a life of its own, it emitted a ma.s.s of brilliant and indescribable mist.

This set of armor looked plain; it felt like something that an ordinary swordsman on the Azeroth Continent would wear. There were no complex engravings, and there were also no gems inlaid in it. The streamlined curvatures and smooth surface felt ancient and simple.

"This is the source of the suppression of my spirit energy. Strange… how come it only works on me?" Fei slowly approached this set of armor.

An extremely familiar presence was being emitted from this set of armor, and it seemed to be calling out to Fei silently like a loved one.

When Fei was about ten meters away from this set of armor, his body suddenly shook, and two ma.s.ses of silver flames flew out of his body without his control, slowly spinning around the silver armor.

They were the Scepter of Creation and the Throne of Creation!

These two most powerful and most insane items of inheritance on Fei seemed to have been revived, and they let out a series of chirps, lightly vibrated, and spun around the armor as if they met an old friend.

"Could it be…"

Chapter 1231: Before Going Back (Part Three)

A streak of lightning flashed in Fei's mind. "Is this set of mysterious armor at the core of Earth a part of the Item Set of Creation? That is why the Scepter of Creation and the Throne of Creation are resonating with it?"

In the next moment, something mystical occurred.

The Throne of Creation slowly flew to below the armor, and a series of silver ripples flashed on the surface of the throne, turning the color of the throne into the color of the armor. The Scepter of Creation flew into one of the gauntlets of the armor… these three saint items slowly combined.

The silver and ancient-looking armor that was floating in lava in silence emitted aggressive silver light. As if it came back to life, a vague silver shadow occupied the empty parts of the armor.

At this moment, it seemed like an ultimate existence who created this world came back to life. This figure grasped onto the scepter, stepped onto the throne, and dressed in the G.o.dly armor, returning to the world. While glancing at the past and the future, this figure stood in the river of time and controlled everything in the world including life, aging, sickness, and death. This figure stood above everyone!

Even though Fei was extremely powerful already, he felt like kneeling and wors.h.i.+pping this figure at this moment.

This mystical feeling only occurred for a split second before disappearing.

In the next moment, that overbearing presence disappeared. When Fei opened his eyes again, that vague silver shadow was long gone, and the armor, throne, and scepter perfectly combined, looking like a real figure.

At this moment, that suppression on Fei's spirit energy disappeared.

Fei slowly approached these three saint items and touched the armor with his finger, and he felt a warm and smooth sensation.

At this moment, the armor, throne, and scepter turned into many silver light dots, scattered, and all flew into Fei's body like birds returning to their nest.

"This…"

Fei was surprised to find that when the last light dot entered his body, a silver ripple appeared on his body.

Fei felt like he was stepping on a solid floor; the Throne of Creation appeared below his feet. He felt like he was holding something; the Scepter of Creation was already in his hands before he realized it. He felt slightly heavy; he was already wearing that mysterious silver armor.

An unprecedented feeling of power engulfed Fei's mind.

"This armor must be the last component in the Item Set of Creation in legends. How come it is on Earth?" Fei couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

At this moment, an image abruptly appeared in his mind.

A handsome man was holding hands with a beautiful woman in the sky. Suddenly, about a few streaks of silver energy flames flew out of their bodies and disappeared into the area around them with long tails of flames. Then, this gorgeous couple shattered into many light dots before vanis.h.i.+ng in the world.

Fei was quite shocked; this wasn't his first time seeing this scene.

During the meeting between the three magnets above the City of San Siro, old Pope Stabila took out that scroll which contained the scenes where the Lord of G.o.d Clan and the Lord of Demon Clan battled with the bugs. Those two figures were identical to the two that appeared in Fei's mind; they were the Lord of G.o.d Clan and the Lord of Demon Clan.

Chapter 1231: Before Going Back (Part Four)

After they won the war against the bugs, their bodies shattered into pieces after they exhausted all their life energy.

Fei's attention was locked on the streaks of silver energy flames that flew out of these two figures' bodies.

"Could it be that those streaks of flames contain the various Items of Creation? The Lord of G.o.d Clan and the Lord of Demon Clan awakened the Item Set of Creation with their essence blood, using them to defeat the bugs. In the end, these two ultimate existences died after the exhaustion of life energy and soul energy, and the Item Set of Creation deconstructed and disappeared in the world. Could it be that the throne and the scepter in the set fell into Sky City, and the armor which was the core broke the restriction of time and s.p.a.ce, falling into the core of Earth?"

Fei felt like he grasped onto the truth.

Now, everything could be explained! As to why Fei's spirit energy was suppressed, he already had two components of the Item Set of Creation on him, and they established some sorts of relations.h.i.+ps, putting pressure on his spirit energy. Also, it was clear that the armor had unique power in suppressing spirit energy.

"Now with this set of armor, do I have the complete Item Set of Creation? I should have the dominating power to rule all things, but my strength didn't really increase significantly. Except for suppressing spirit energy, its power isn't on par with the Scepter of Creation and the Throne of Creation!"

"Or could it be that I haven't grasped the control of the armor?"

"Is there another reason?"

Fei thought to himself for a long time but couldn't figure it out. After searching in the lava at the Earth's core for a while, he didn't make another discovery, so he returned to the surface of the Earth.

Now, a big trend of learning martial arts and magic was happening on Earth. As the laws of nature and power slowly changed on Earth, the people on Earth could obtain warrior energy and magic energy, so the combat technique system and the magic system from the Azeroth Continent were being taught here.

Of course, the high-level figures on Earth focused more on the Joint Laboratory.

Fei decided to return to the Azeroth Continent.

Cain and Akara would temporarily stay on Earth, and Gold Saint Torres of Sagittarius, as well as about a dozen masters of the Northern Region Empire, stayed behind as well. They would work with the governments on Earth and run all kinds of experiments, including the modification of the mothers.h.i.+ps of life of the bugs and other projects where science and magic would collide.

Everything that Fei was doing right now was preparing for the descent of the bugs that would bring a catastrophe.

From the information that Fei gathered from various sources, it seemed like the descent of the bugs couldn't be stopped.

The world-ending catastrophe was fast approaching!

Fei needed to go back to the Azeroth Continent and deal with the Holy Church and old Pope Stabila. He had to figure out if Stabila was lying, or the latter was fooled. This was a crucial matter. Fei hoped that the latter was true. If the former was true, then… Stabila was a spy of the bugs!

If this was the case, a disaster was waiting! It would mean that the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church couldn't resolve the conflicts through peaceful means, and a full-on regional warfare would take place!
