Chapter 1648 - 569: The Truth of the World (Part 3)

”The golden skill points have again accumulated to 975 points, almost reaching a thousand.”

”During this time, I should focus on quickly advancing my professions. If intense battles occur, the remaining attribute points will be more beneficial.”

Thus.

For several days, Rein devoted his main energy to Elf Leatherworking (Transcendent), advancing it to level 8, gaining another 5 attribute points and 5 skill points. However, the Evil Gods remained inactive.

The opponent seemed like a venomous snake hidden in the dark bushes, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

”If this wait continues, I wonʼt have a chance to greatly enhance my strength before the Fiend Demon breaks free.”

”I need to come up with a plan,” Rein pondered, his brows slightly furrowed.

He wasnʼt without options; for instance, using the Power of Time from the Keyʼs subordinate to limit the Fiend Demon would allow for more reaction time.

The problem is, the Power of Time is far above his current level, and even with the Keyʼs support, using it would require expending life force, i.e., lifespan.

Given a choice, Rein naturally didnʼt want to do this.

It could only serve as a strategic backup.

...

That afternoon, Rein arrived at the Floating City under restoration and said to Haleem:

”Haleem, I want to fully publicize the significance and combat capability of the Floating City, especially its upcoming restoration... The aim is...”

”Pardon me, if an Evil God descends with a Demigod level avatar, what about your side...” Haleem asked, concerned after pondering for a while.

”I have arrangements, donʼt worry.”

”Then Iʼm fine with it, Lord Steel Throne,” Haleem bowed with a smile.

Several more days passed.

In a hidden space, several grand voices were exchanging:

”Unexpectedly, their restoration progress is so fast. If the Ancients Goblinsʼ Floating City is fully restored, even if we descend with Demigod level avatars, it will be to no avail.”

”Even the true body doesnʼt have absolute certainty.”

”Erebus, last time, only your clone made it out, making you recover fastest among us; you should be able to descend with a Demigod level avatar by now, right?”

”Erebus, I think you wouldnʼt want to see humans having the power to directly contend against us?”

”Hela, I understand. We must stop them, but... that human, Rein, definitely wonʼt let me easily destroy the Floating City.”

”Even my early Demigod avatar might not be a match for him.”

”Rest assured, Erebus, weʼll coordinate with you here.”

”Weʼll descend avatars simultaneously across regions. This human Rein, despite having Subspace Teleportation ability, considering crossing time, he needs at least several minutes to handle our Epic Peak avatars.”

”In that time, it should be enough for you to thoroughly destroy the Floating City and eliminate those responsible for restoration.”

”... Alright! How about setting the time three days later?”

...

Three days later in the morning.

Rein was in the Rose Manor study, continuing to advance Elf Leatherworking (Transcendent) and Witch Pattern Tailor (Transcendent), the two most easily advanced sub-professions, when suddenly, the Communication Mark on his chest began flashing continuously.

”Lord Steel Throne, an Epic Peak avatar of the Evil God Grek has appeared in Marn Provinceʼs County Town. We canʼt hold them off!”

”Lord Steel Throne, an Epic Peak avatar of the God of Hunting Luen has appeared in Casweis Province. We cannot withstand them and are retreating.”

”...”

”Hmm? A planned united descent?”

”Unfortunately, you still overlooked some details.”

Reinʼs lips curled into a smile as he activated Goddess Matildaʼs Communication Mark...

Seconds later, he vanished from his spot.

Above a County Town in Marn Province, a towering hundred-meter tall Evil God Grek was fiercely chasing Sword Saint Lambert and three Imperial Guardians. One side fled, the other pursued.

Suddenly, Grekʼs actions halted, swiftly turning around to see a silhouette appear out of thin air not far away in mid-air.

The newcomer was Rein.

Seeing Rein, Grek said nothing, smiling mysteriously, and quickly turned to break away.

Clearly, the aim was to drag Rein into a chase, thereby wasting significant time.

Rein merely smiled too and pointed the subordinate Key at Grek. As a transparent grain of sand fell and dissipated, Grekʼs fleeing form abruptly froze.

What shocked Sword Saint Lambert and others even more was Grekʼs massive body rapidly retreating backward through the air.

This astounding scene left the Imperial Guardians in utter disbelief.

”This... This...” Grek struggled, roared, but to no avail!

”Screech!”

As Reinʼs high-frequency blade-like chainsaw slashed, Grekʼs entire form froze, his expression revealing anger and a trace of terror!

Total time spent: two seconds!

A hexagonal Divine Fragment, Grekʼs face roaring etched on it, fell into Reinʼs hand.

Rein nodded slightly at Sword Saint Lambert, before vanishing from the air.

”Hiss~ Thatʼs too powerful!”

”An Epic Peak avatar couldnʼt withstand even two seconds?”

”Lord Steel Throne Reinʼs power has reached a level completely unimaginable for us,” Sword Saint Lambert remarked, shaking his head.

Despite being the most familiar with Rein among the three, recalling past encounters in Dragon Valley Secret Realm seemed a lifetime ago.

Even though he had significantly advanced, successfully achieving Sword Saint was a tremendous success and honor, yet compared to Rein, it was a stark difference!

...

When Rein appeared again, he was in Casweis Province.

Old acquaintance, God of Hunting Luen, was clashing with Reginald and three Imperial Guardians. Yet the situation was one-sided—Reginald and the others fled while Luen pursued.

Seeing Rein suddenly appear, God of Hunting Luen also smiled slightly, quickly turning to leave.

”Haha, indeed well-planned, experienced before, methods identical,” Rein raised the subordinate Key of Time again.

The scene of solving Grek reoccurred!

”You... You...”

God of Hunting Luen, flying back in disbelief, saw Reinʼs subordinate Key and exclaimed, ”Goddess Matildaʼs artifact, how did it end up in your hands?”

Rein didnʼt waste words answering Luenʼs question. His high-frequency blade made a cut, tracing a silver line from head to tail on Luenʼs massive body, whose astonished face froze.

Nodding at Reginald, Rein quickly vanished from the air, heading to the next location.

”Thatʼs too powerful!”

”Truly unimaginable.”

Witnessing Reinʼs intervention for the first time as a Full Moon Wizard, the three Imperial Guardians were naturally deeply shocked.

Reginald was also filled with profound emotion.

As Rein moved to the next site, above Floating City, a gigantic figure several hundred meters tall appeared.
