Chapter 394: The Mandate of Heaven Arrives
Chapter 394: The Mandate of Heaven Arrives
"Diablo?"
"The interference of the Volcano City Life Scholar?"
"Interesting."
Mullernahun nodded slightly, his expression filled with interest.
After all his possessions were drained, the great merchant Kuai Te was left completely penniless, and all his techniques were reset to zero.
Forget about putting up a resistance.
Even if a few ordinary people were to show up now, this once-high and mighty merchant would be powerless to handle them.
Kuai Te, who had given up resistance, stood there like a machine, answering Mullernahun's questions in a dazed and honest manner.
But there was good news.
Linsai had always appeared before Kuai Te with a false identity, never revealing any real information.
As a result, the clues he provided to the Organizer were equally useless.
"A rising star from Volcano City."
Mullernahun, however, was unaware of all this; he felt he had everything under control, and the current situation was in his favor.
"Once I obtain this power, I will undoubtedly become an eighth-phase powerhouse."
"Even if I kill someone like him here, no one will come looking for trouble."
"Volcano City... haha, this is the significance of strength!"
Kuai Te stood by, silent.
The hope in his eyes had been extinguished, and with it, the light, as he willingly submitted to Mullernahun's control.
Whoosh—
The sky suddenly turned white, followed by thunderous roars.
The Forest Courtyard World was already in the rainy season, and with the appearance of the Garden, the clouds in the sky were compressed, creating a series of awe-inspiring thunderbolts through friction.
Mullernahun looked up.
The brilliant sunlight was being blocked by dark clouds, and a heavy downpour was about to arrive.
"I hate these torrential rains."
"In the future, the Forest Courtyard World should have clear seasonal changes, not just alternating between the rainy and dry seasons."
Mullernahun spoke calmly, as if pronouncing the future of this world.
Before the downpour, strong winds swept across the land.
The winds high in the sky were even more terrifying, almost making it difficult to stand.
Mullernahun's thick fur coat was forcefully blown open by the wind, as if creating a ripple behind him.
"Hmm?"
The Organizer frowned slightly.
This wind seemed like a herald of the storm, but within it, there was a faint voice calling out.
Someone was using their technique to summon his true name.
"Mullernahun, you can't do this."
"..."
"Cosevail?"
The Organizer spoke a name, sensing the will carried by the wind.
It was the words of the old wizard.
Among the Awakened, the profession of wizard has always been unique, and when translated, it means 'one who possesses wisdom.'
Now, the Forest Courtyard World was suddenly changing.
The old wizard, through his foresight, had sensed the impending danger and sent a warning and admonition to the Organizer.
The aged voice in the wind, coming from afar, said:
"Only greed invites destruction."
"Once you step onto this path, your life will be shrouded in darkness, with no chance of return."
"..."
Mullernahun fell silent.
The injuries inflicted by the Dragon Beast and the Law Enforcement Knight still lingered within him.
Even though Cosevail was far away, if he were to take action, with the unpredictable abilities of a wizard, it would be difficult for Mullernahun to protect himself.
But the next moment, the Organizer's frown suddenly relaxed.
"Ha... haha..."
"Hahahaha!"
Mullernahun laughed maniacally, looking up at the sky.
The surrounding hurricanes seemed to be conquered by him, and for a moment, they calmed down.
The Organizer shouted towards the sky:
"Did you see that, Wizard? My mandate has arrived!"
"The things I lack are rushing towards me, will you stand in the way of this great momentum?"
Mullernahun's power began to grow rapidly.
At the same time, below in the Garden, Leizer, who was leading his companions forward, also sensed something amiss.
A powerful Dominance Power suddenly descended upon everyone.
As a fifth-phase Ascender, he could rely on the Adventurer's technique of surviving in peril to break free from this constraint.
But his companions and the other Awakened who had come here with him were all captured by Mullernahun's ability.
"Mila, Schok, how are you?"
"Damn it! What's wrong with Lord Muun?"
Leizer checked on his companions; the Essence within their bodies was rapidly depleting, and their techniques were also affected.
All of this was due to Mullernahun's control.
The Organizer originally couldn't handle any excess power.
But at this moment, the Law Enforcement Knight who had been blocking him was gone, and the sealed Garden was now open to the outside.
Furthermore, with the additional power bestowed by Kuai Te.
Mullernahun sensed that those who responded to his call, the people who entered the forest, immediately became a force under his organization's control.
Mullernaun forcibly extracted the power of the crowd, gathering it into himself.
With a sufficient quantity, he finally accumulated enough power to shake the door before him.
"Now, who can stop me?"
At the top of the Central High Tower.
Surrounded by dark clouds and raging winds.
On the platform's surface, the air became incredibly serene, like a peaceful island amidst the storm.
Mullernaun stood there alone.
Behind him, Kuiter's essence had been completely drained, and he lay unconscious on the ground.
The Organizer no longer cared about these things.
After forcibly extracting the power of all these people, he could now open the wooden door before him.
Crack!
Essence techniques circulated in the air.
The Organizer's power erupted, and this command was unparalleled.
The wooden door didn't even have time to sway before it collapsed in front of the Organizer.
"I'm embarking on the path to the heavens!"
Mullernaun strode inside.
Beyond the door, a garden was surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped water flow, and the ancient trees within still bore thick, juicy fruits.
And in the center of the water flow.
A throne-like wooden altar sat there, with a segment of green light in the form of a double helix floating above it.
One end of this green radiance continuously decomposed, eventually turning into a speck of light and scattering in the air; the other end constantly condensed from nothingness, extending its double helix, as if constantly advancing some life process.
"It's you!"
Mullernaun walked forward.
At this moment, all things that could influence him were excluded.
He naturally didn't hold back, reaching out and tightly grasping a ray of light.
Boom!
Countless thunderclaps tore through the sky, and the long-brewing downpour suddenly poured down from the sky.
The Organizer's head rose, and joy burst forth from his eyes:
"This is it, I feel it!"
The focal point of the Forest Lifeline, the Garden Core, indeed had no self-control, completely like a lamb to be slaughtered! Mullernaun began to absorb this power without restraint.
All the injuries in his body were instantly healed, and then pure life force poured into his body.
Mullernaun's power immediately reached its peak and even began to break through the Essence Stage that he had sealed away long ago!
"That's right, the essence body is being sublimated."
"I'm taking that crucial step!"
Suddenly, the joy on Mullernaun's face turned into a frenzy, like a dam bursting open.
The power that had just filled him up was now gushing out uncontrollably!
Even his physical strength was completely drained, leaving him unable to resist.
"What... is this?"
The Garden Core, which had extracted Mullernaun's power, was doing just that.
This core, which had gathered the entire world's Lifeline power, was now actively gathering external forces towards itself, even drawing in the Organizer who was in contact with it!
"What's going on? This is impossible."
"Why would something without consciousness have such a reaction?"
"Obey my command!"
"Kuiter, come and pull me away from here!"
Mullernaun shouted loudly.
But Kuiter was unconscious, and the wizard's whispers were driven away, leaving no one to lend a hand in the quiet Core Tower.
The Organizer was powerless to shake the Garden Core, and his hands couldn't break free.
His dominance power was like an ant shaking a tree in front of the Eighth Phase.
The Garden Core, which was absorbing power from the outside, drew out his essence, physical strength, and everything from his life, finally exploding!
At the top of the tower.
A green halo, more dazzling than the sun, suddenly appeared.
In a thousandth of a second, it collapsed inward, then, with even greater speed, it violently surged outward.
The air in the upper forest trembled, and the ground was swept by this force.
The green radiance, starting from a sublime light that was hard to look at, began to decompose and spread, eventually transforming into a gentle and life-filled essence that swept across the entire world.
Beyond the range of sight, and in the homeland of all living beings, this intense and docile essence enveloped everything.
Where the light passed.
Ordinary people's spirits were invigorated, wild animals became joyous, and the plants in the great forest thrived.
And among them, the Awakened ones.
Also realized what was happening, and in each other's disbelieving eyes, they spoke the truth:
"The Surge?"
"Yes, it's a tide of essence."
"It's an Essence Surge!"
