Chapter 492: 459, Amon! Drive out this Bi Chi who is competing with me for the Divine Office of the Goddess of Reproduction.
"The venomous fangs of the Great Sea Serpent Witch Posuji, the Tears of the King of the Giant Whales! Oh person who collects all these, I shall recognize you as my master, willing to carry you to any place, to explore all the treasures of the Seven Seas."
"Dapocirodo! Dapocirodo! Dapocirodo... How could it be you?"
"Get out of here!"
"Out, I said!"
"Amon! Amon! Amon! Drive out this blue pond who dares to vie with me for the Divine Office of the Goddess of Reproduction."
Countless thoughts echoed in Charles's mind, and he suddenly felt as if he had done something extraordinary, as if... this Gomodoro Tree was not such a simple thing after all!
"This tree even has a name? Dapocirodo!?"
"This name doesn't seem to be in the style of the Old Continent."
Charles watched as the blue giants joyfully moved about, boarding the Holy Light Divine State Title; he always had the feeling that he might have acted recklessly.
"Well, who cares?"
"Now that the branch of the Gomodoro Tree has been dealt with, where should I look for the remaining two items?"
"Theoretically, those two items shouldn't be on land."
"Could it be that I must search the nearby seas?"
"Or perhaps, is there somewhere else that conceals treasures?"
"I should ask Chief Angina and her daughter Singirina; perhaps they will have some insights."
Charles raised his left hand and retracted the Holy Light Divine State Title back into the gold ring, and said to the three subordinates who followed him: "Let's continue exploring this island; we might still find something valuable."
Gareth had no objections, Agon had no objections, and although Andreas had some minor complaints, his opinion was not important.
The place where the blue sky tribe lived was already considered the center of Solomon Island. Protected by the Gomodoro Tree, they were merely struggling to survive. When the Gomodoro Tree vanished, a multitude of strange and eerie presences emerged from all around.
Although Charles was not afraid, he didn't want to linger here; after all, there was no benefit in fighting these creatures. They quickly moved on, and after they left, where the Gomodoro Tree used to grow, countless Ling demons suddenly sprang forth, teeming as if they were endless, like potatoes that had been uprooted. They seemed very frightened, desperately trying to cry out, however, they couldn't make a sound due to the lack of mouths and noses.
Georgiadi Hadrian quickly noticed this place!
The presence of the Gomodoro Tree had obscured many things, including his perception, but with the disappearance of the tree, this Peak Holy Order individual immediately sensed that something was amiss.
He flew to the place where the Gomodoro Tree had grown, and looking at the Ling demons continuously burrowing out of the ground, even this powerful count felt his scalp tingle.
Georgiadi Hadrian murmured to himself: "Now I understand why Charles Meklen came to this island!"
"He truly comes from an unusual background and is no ordinary human."
In the eyes of this ultimate War God of the Black Phoenix, Charles, commanding such a powerful fleet, could not possibly be here for some minor objective.
Charles had deviated from his course and did not pursue his fleet, which meant it was highly unlikely he was after the forces of the Black Phoenix last stand.
It could only be for this island!
The island was so peculiar, and Charles's visit was so secretive, the two must be intricately linked, creating a perfect logical loop!
Georgiadi Hadrian gathered energy and ferociously chopped downward, an invisible force split the burrowing Ling demons at their densest, and with just one strike, he killed dozens of them.
His hands continued to chop down in succession, quickly clearing all the Ling demons that had emerged from the ground.
Charles, who was exploring ahead, suddenly felt the fluctuation of energy. He turned back and saw the fierce Georgiadi Hadrian, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "How did he get here too?"
"Quick, invisible!"
Charles's red Rattlesnake possessed six attributes: Speed Amplification (Quickness Technique x6), Devouring Life, Energizing Bullets, Antispace, Invisibility, and Venom.
However, he seldom used any attributes other than the speed enhancement of the Quickness Technique.
He rarely even used both Rattlesnakes.
Agon hesitated and then murmured, "I don't know how to be invisible!"
Andreas placed his hands on their shoulders, helping both to vanish from sight.
Invisibility Technique was not a high-level spell and was not difficult to learn, but for a Transcendent, it was mostly useless since they had too many methods to sense movements; invisibility could only block the sight of ordinary people.
But at this distance from Georgiadi Hadrian, the Invisibility Technique still had some effect.
Charles asked in a low voice, "What madness has possessed Georgiadi Hadrian?"
"Why did he bombard the site of the Gomodoro Tree?"
Agon said, "Let's wait until he leaves. Once we take a look, we'll understand."
Charles nodded, agreeing with Agon's opinion.
After a while, Georgiadi Hadrian swept over their heads and flew toward the other end of Solomon Island. The four of them returned to their previous location and gasped in shock at the sight of countless Ling demons killed by Georgiadi Hadrian.
Andreas said, "These Ling demons... It seems like they crawled out from underground."
Agon noted, "They look like tubers of a plant."
Charles broke out in a cold sweat. He had assumed the blue giants were dimorphic and reproduced, but witnessing these Ling demons emerging from beneath the roots of the Gomodoro Tree, he could only consider the most plausible conclusion.
Whether the Ling demons or the blue giants, they were all products of the Gomodoro Tree, growing from beneath its roots and rhizomes. As for why they split into two species, only the Evil God would know.
Thinking of the Magic Array on the bow of the Holy Light Divine State Title, how every time he approached it the Murmur of Fate would warn him and how the Gomodoro Tree rooted itself on it, Charles shivered.
Charles could only comfort himself, "It's alright, the Holy Light Divine State Title is pretty strange, too!"
He was about to suggest returning to the fleet. After all, Teacher Juno was there, and there was no longer any need to fear Georgiadi Hadrian.
To Charles, although Solomon Island was mysterious, the greatest threat was still Georgiadi Hadrian.
Suddenly Andreas exclaimed, "It looks like there's something down there."
Looking down, Charles saw a dark, deep abyss where the Gomodoro Tree had taken root.
He stopped Gareth, who was about to jump down. Even though Gareth was powerful and feared little danger, there was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Charles opened the six-sided Magic Mirror and out stepped twelve Mirror Shadows!
This was a Special Ability awakened when the Infinite Mirror Realm was elevated to ×5. It could mirror any enemy, even oneself, creating a false entity capable of temporarily wielding power comparable to the original, but of course, their limit could not exceed that of Charles himself.
When the Infinite Mirror Realm was elevated to ×6, Charles also awakened the Mirror Shadow ability, although he had yet to find a suitable target.
While the true strength of these Mirror Shadows was above the Sacred level, limited by Charles' power, they could only exert strength of Level Eighteen. These shadows could last for a few minutes.
If there were only one or two Mirror Shadows, they could last many times longer, but Charles wanted to explore what was below in the shortest possible time. A few minutes were enough; this was more efficient.
Charles handed several mirrors to each of the shadows.
He had ordered a large number of mirrors in bulk, each with a connection to the Mirror World. Wherever he went, he would always place one to expand his own Mirror World.
Agon, Gareth, and Andreas knew that Charles excelled in the Bloodline Mantra but had never imagined his ability had reached such an eerie extent. They watched as twelve figures, identical to their powerful original counterparts, jumped into the cave below, feeling quite unsettled.
In a low voice, Andreas said, "You look even more vampiric than Byron's vampires."
"Throughout the war, I never saw a member of the Van Gaal Family, yet I see the Infinite Mirror Realm manifested in you."
With a slight smile, Charles said, "Can't help it, having a good teacher is everything."
"It's all thanks to Teacher Juno Arthur."
Juno only taught him Bloodline Mantra, but Charles didn't mind attributing the rest of his abilities to his teacher's guidance.
At that moment, Juno Arthur was leisurely reading a novel on the Dolmabahçe Number. To his Blood Servant, he remarked, "Although Charles has good talent in his cultivation, I have seen a few young people of comparable quality in my life. But his literary accomplishments are simply revolutionary, blazing a trail into the future."
"Unfortunately, he's just too busy. His manuscripts are unstable, and several of his novels remain unfinished. The serialization is also intermittent, leaving one worried whether they'll ever be completed."
Drusiana with red hair spoke softly, "Why not create a dedicated Dreamscape for his writing? Let Mr. Mecklen enter a special Dreamscape for drafting as soon as he sleeps, continuing to work. We can enter to transcribe the drafts he produces in the Dreamscape and hand them to his fast-writing clerks."
Juno clapped his hands in praise, "Well done, Drusiana! Brilliant idea!"
He suddenly looked up at the sky.
Georgiadi Hadrian only saw the fleet but was unaware that the first strong man of Byron was on the Dolmabahçe Number. However, Juno Arthur noticed his presence.
With a slight smile, Juno Arthur said, "Sorry, that idea won't be possible for the time being."
"Little Charles has trouble coming."
Drusiana murmured, "Shall I go out and meet up with Mr. Mecklen and the others?"
"Don't worry, I won't make trouble. I just want to bring them back."
Juno answered with a smile, "That sounds good!"
"However, you're no match for Georgiadi Hadrian alone. Take my gun!"
