Chapter 247 The Power of Distortion
"Is this all you want to say to me now?"
Huilia calmed down, her tone low and even a little cold to Zeta. At this moment, Huilia was emanating an aura that made Zeta very uneasy.
"No, Haruki, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to help the Wolf Knights..."
"Okay, then you can go help yourself. I definitely won't stop you."
"This will always be the case from now on."
At the height of the conflict, there was a deathly silence. Zeta felt suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere around him. He really wanted to apologize; Zeta hadn't expected such a consequence.
Instead of a loud argument, there was Huilia's indifferent gaze and swift hand movements. He held the Zeta Riser in his hand, pressed the switch, and opened the Gate of Heroes.
The familiar light, the familiar humans and the giant of light—the two, now in different dimensions, stared at each other, their eyes filled with frustration and regret.
With a swift movement, a flash of purple light cleaved through the Gate of Heroes in an instant. Victoria forcibly broke the boundary between himself and Zeta with a power completely unfamiliar to Zeta.
Then the light faded, and the fragments of the Gate of Heroes vanished before they hit the ground. Zeta was surprised to find himself standing on the forest, appearing in another world in human form.
"If you want to be a hero, then go be one yourself. I'm not playing along."
After speaking, Huilia threw the Riser directly at Zeta's feet, and the box containing the Ultra Medals was also thrown to the ground by Huilia.
This is a complete break. Unlike Zeta, Huilia will not hesitate. Once he decides what to do or what to sever, Huilia and his sword will not hesitate.
"Your restrictions are all gone now. You can use the Riser and Ultra Medals as you please. I'm keeping the Courage Crystal for myself; it's my leverage to settle scores with Muban."
"Of course, I can give it to you now if you want it, but I'll take it back later."
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Huilia spoke to Zeta with his back turned, his body mostly hidden in the shadows, trying his best to stay away from the light emanating from Zeta.
"Yaohiko, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to say that, I just wanted to..."
"Goodbye."
From the moment Zeta spoke, Huilia was prepared to leave immediately. The only remaining concern was where to go. Where would the Imperial aliens escape to during this time?
However, these were just thoughts that Victoria had to have for a few seconds. With a "goodbye" to Zeta, Victoria completely disappeared from Zeta's sight.
Zeta had never felt this way before, that the connection between Haruki and herself would completely disappear.
The sky remained unchanged, with the moonlight and clouds appearing one after the other, each displaying their own beauty, neither gaining the upper hand nor distinguishing themselves from the other.
The world is full of unpredictable events; one side is fighting while the other remains silent. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
"Reporting to the Guild Master, an otherworldly monster invasion has been discovered in Wolf Wilds. A squad of wolf knights is currently engaged in battle with it. Should we send reinforcements?"
"An otherworldly monster? What kind of otherworldly monster?"
"According to reports, the monster that suddenly appeared from the sky was a fully armed mechanical monster with a silver body and estimated to be highly powerful in combat."
"Mechanical monster..."
Muban went from serious one second to indifferent the next; he lost most of his interest the moment he heard about the mechanical monster.
The mage who came to report noticed the chairman's unusual change in attitude, unsure whether he was worried about the mechanical monster's strength or something else. Confused, the mage dared not mention anything that might displease the chairman.
Recently, the president has become very strange, especially regarding matters concerning otherworldly people and monsters. He is sometimes excited and sometimes resentful, and he is gradually becoming someone that no one recognizes.
"Go contact the nearest Lightstone Warrior or Earthmancer and ask them to provide support. We can go all out against this otherworldly monster and eliminate it on the spot without any problem."
"Yes, I'll contact them right away."
Simply following instructions and executing them, just like before, actually made the reporter feel more relaxed and natural; this was the process he and everyone else were familiar with.
We complete the orders given by the chairman without asking any questions. This has been the case for ten years, and everyone does it the same way.
Let's just leave all the important matters to the Chairman. In the minds of the magicians, Chairman Mu is omnipotent.
After the reporter left, Muban also left the Mage Guild immediately. However, he was not going to the location of the battle in Wolf State, but to the place where the otherworldly beings from Tsuchimiya had arrived.
"How is the operation against 'Baltan' going?"
"Reporting to the Chairman, everything went smoothly. We have successfully captured Baltan, the rioter, and subdued him in time when he attacked the village. He is now being held in an underground prison."
"Okay, take me to see him."
Tsuchiya Valley, a place dominated by Tsuchiya and Tsuchiya Masters, is a beautiful place with abundant resources and a model of peaceful coexistence between humans and monsters.
However, the numerous attacks that had occurred in Tsuchiya had alerted the Mage Guild that they needed not only the protection of Tsuchiya, but also the defensive capabilities of humanity itself.
The riots of the Tsuchikage and the port attack by Luo Yi have caused heavy losses to the Mage Guild and the Earth Mage. Tsuchikage Valley is in dire need of new forces to be integrated and built into a new and powerful Tsuchikage Valley.
Meanwhile, the fall of Haiyun caused a large number of mages to flee. They possessed the most advanced technology and knowledge of the Mage Guild, but the people of Haiyun needed a safe place with enough resources to survive and sufficient strength to guarantee their safety.
Tsuchiya fulfills all the needs of the people of Haiyun, and Haiyun also has the enhancement power that Tsuchiya desires.
The integration of the two was a natural progression, encountering almost no obstacles, especially with the strong support of the president.
Following the Grandi incident, the Tsuchiya Magicians' Guild has been striving for advancement and transformation, with the research lab and the prison being its primary development projects, one for power and the other for the use of power.
Some say Tu Yugu is about to undergo a complete transformation, while others say it will become the next Haiyun. Mu Ban doesn't care about these opinions; he only cares whether the combined strength of Tu Yugu and Haiyun can restrain those otherworldly forces.
"You're a complete madman! What are you doing to Panton?! You actually want to resurrect that bio-weapon."
The sealed underground space was completely isolated from the outside world, and the use of barriers improved rapidly in a short period of time; the sturdy cage was enough to resist the madness of the otherworldly people, and no matter how angry he was, he could not hurt Muban himself.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. Baltan. But I’d like to remind you to be mindful of your position. You are a prisoner now, and if you want a reduced sentence, you’ll have to cooperate with us.”
"Bah! You bunch of scoundrels stole my ship's stuff to hunt monsters, and you even foolishly held a meeting to openly discuss resurrecting Panton. You're all a bunch of lunatics!"
“This was a deal, do you remember, Mr. Baltan? I gave you your freedom, you gave us technical support, and we wouldn’t interfere with the rest. But I’m sorry, you crossed the line first. We were forced to take countermeasures.”
Muban's cold expression was utterly disgusting to Baltan. He had never imagined that the backward Z-star people could be so cunning, scheming against and using him step by step, hiding powerful strength but only thinking about force and domination.
It’s so heartbreaking!
"Now, could you please tell me the whereabouts of Mr. Pedan, Mr. Baltan?"
"This is your only chance to apply for a reduced sentence."
"Get out of my way! Don't even think about using me anymore. I'll find a way out. When that happens, I'll report to the Space Police Department to wipe out your cult! You, the cult leader, are the mastermind."
“I’m sorry, Mr. Baltan, you have just lost your chance for a reduced sentence. You will now be sentenced and tried by me personally.”
Muban's human body emitted a twisted, eerie blue aura. His eyes gradually became black voids, and his facial features lost their color, turning deathly pale. Vines of fluorescence wrapped around Muban's entire arm, turning his palm into sharp claws, and then he fiercely grabbed at the Baltan alien's head.
