Chapter 727 Enlightenment
Chapter 727: Enlightenment
'But I have a long way to achieve that.' Currently, Charles only comprehended 102 'Wisdom Essences' of the Rank-6 [Causality Manipulation] skill.
'Even though the time in the Crystal Dimension moves 140 times faster than the outside, it is still not enough to comprehend the rest of 4000+ Wisdom Essences, I think.' He soon shifted his attention towards the Sage's Gem and continued comprehending the Causality Manipulation skill.
Within the Crystal Dimension, the time moved quietly.
Before, it took him a month to comprehend a Wisdom Essence, but now it has been 28 days.
Like a passing cloud, the time started to move drastically.
Charles felt like he had been staying in the Crystal Dimension for an eternity!
Although he wanted to leave this place and take some rest to cool down the stress of being alone, he endured everything and continued to comprehend.
Slowly, years passed.
Five years became ten, ten became twenty, twenty became forty, and finally, eighty years passed!
'I should stop comprehending and return to the Magic Tower.' Even though he had been staying here without any outside information, he knew there was only an hour or two before the next Disaster.
As Charles completely comprehended the 1080th Wisdom Essence, he noticed that his [Casuality Manipulation] skill triggered on its own.
At that moment, his wisdom eye became more and more beautiful, like it had been carved out of a sapphire gem!
Charles, immersed in understanding the Causality Manipulation skill, felt a surge of enlightenment coursing through his being.
At that moment, Charles felt a sudden connection with 'Genesis' and was startled deeply.
[An unknown error occurred!]
[ERROR!!!! ERROR!!! ERROR!!!!!]
[Host's wisdom comprehension has reached beyond the power of a Mortal!]
[Host's existence has been upgraded from the level of 'Irregular' to 'Pseudo-Taboo Existence!']
[Edhen World is looking at you interestingly!]
[Edhen World has sent a wisp of its power!]
[Warning!!! Warning!!!]
[The Host is temporarily entering into a state of becoming a higher being!]
[Wisdom Link has been connected to the Host!]
As the Wisdom Link merged with his newfound skill, the vastness of information from the Wisdom Link flooded his consciousness.
A moment later, a powerful wisdom power emerged from the Crystalline Dimension and spread throughout the surroundings.
But unlike Charles's wisdom power, this one appeared more like a wave of wind and continued to expand.
The wave covered Iron Kingdom, Moon Kingdom, Arc Kingdom, Ember Kingdom, and Unexplored Forest and even expanded to the Blood Empire in a blink!
Although this strange wave of power remained there briefly, it alerted every legendary person, even the Demi-God Powerhouse, Blood Emperor!
But before others could track down the origin of this power, it vanished like it never existed to begin with.
Only four Doomsday Apostles and the Blood Emperor managed to see a glimpse of the origin and were deeply startled.
"World's Will has finally made a move!" Sasha's voice echoed as she stood on the Griffon Household Mansion's balcony and looked at the faraway Rebirth Tower solemnly.
Although Sasha didn't know what happened inside that Tower, there was one thing she was sure of.
"There is a troublesome existence staying in that Tower right now. That Ancient Mage?" She instantly shook her head. Although he was a troublesome existence, too, he never showed any interest in worldly affairs and always stayed low-key.
'If Fate Professor's words are true, then Charles returned, huh? I didn't expect him to survive my love curse.' A trace of anxiety appeared on her face.
'But this time, I won't underestimate him.' She clenched her fist and was about to turn around but suddenly froze.
She hurriedly looked up at the blue sky and soon widened her eyes.
"What is that strange uneasiness? Is the Chaos Era about to start?" She showed a confused look.
Meanwhile, Charles's inner world was filled with a lot of information.
In that fleeting moment, he transcended the boundaries of a mere mortal and became a God himself. His senses expanded beyond the limit, reaching into the very essence of the truth itself. The interconnected threads of wisdom wove through him, and he became a conduit of knowledge.
The room he stood in blurred as the Wisdom Link connected him to the world's pulse. Charles perceived the intricate details of every being, from the humble inhabitants of a rural village to the mighty Demi-God Blood Emperor and other beings. Though he absorbed only a fraction of the information, it transformed his perception, unveiling the world in a kaleidoscope of understanding.
After a moment of strange enlightenment, the [Wisdom Link] connection has been removed from his soul, returning him to the original state.
Charles slowly blinked as he stared at the gigantic Chaos Eye and hurriedly left the Crystal Dimension.
Once he stepped into the room, he saw Zera standing near the bed and seemed to be waiting for him.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I sensed a powerful being's wisdom power coming from this room and came here in a hurry to check on, Master." She paused as she looked at the strange red crystal and asked further.
"Did something happen? Was it your doing?"
Instead of responding, Charles closed his eyes and rearranged all the gathered information in his Inner World.
With a simple look at the information, he learned what everyone was doing within that domain.
"Hmm, something like that. So, Jessie and Noel have already returned and are staying in the Royal Palace, huh? Good timing." He nodded in understanding and added.
"Send someone to inform Rhea and others that we will meet an important guest. Tell them to meet at the Tower's entrance in two hours."
"Yes, Master." Zera instantly responded even though she was clueless about who the guest was.
On the other hand, Charles thought of something and asked the date.
"What day is today? Ah, it's 14th May, Year 6420, Second Arcane Era. What a strange coincidence."
Saying so, Charles quietly walked towards the bay window and looked at the Iron Tower before smirking.
"Archmage Marcus, huh? Although I want to finish him off, Titus should take the revenge personally." His perception of the world changed drastically thanks to him absorbing the new information.
"I also understand something important. This Edhen World is indeed selfish and uses anyone to achieve its goal. And it helped me now because it understood that I had the same goal." But there was not a hint of worry or anxiety.
Instead, his eyes showed a hint of cruelty and brutality.
"First, you helped Sasha kill me, but now you want my help to defeat them? Hehe, what a strange fate of play."
Then, he slowly looked up at the blue sky and activated the [Casuality Manipulation] skill.
A moment later, he saw many images in the form of visions and was greatly startled.
"The time has come." Saying so, he kept looking at the blue sky and seemed to think deeply.
...
Crystal Lane, West Borough, Holy See of Order and Justice, Sacred Empire.
At that moment, a middle-aged man, who appeared to be around 40 years old, stood before the single-storied house and showed a curious look on his face. He had wavy blonde hair, a soft and round face, and silvery eyes, and he also wore red armor.
He was none other than God of Time, Udnir.
"This is where Charles has been staying, huh? Hmm?" At that moment, his eyes turned crystalline, showing him countless futures.
"So, he finally decided to come out, huh? This sneak rat has been playing hide and seek for too long." Udnir said coldly, cast the [Space-Time Warp] spell, and disappeared from there.
...
Abium's Divine Kingdom.
A blonde-haired Royal Elf sat on the golden throne and slowly raised his hand.
"Let the Chaos Era beings." Saying so, he stood up from his throne seat and disappeared before uttering.
"I'll be back in a moment, Azolla,"
...
In the meantime, the sun suddenly became bright red and released a strange solar storm toward the Edhen World.
A powerful force of chaotic energy passed through the space at the speed of light and soon reached Edhen World's outer surface.
Then, the solar flares crashed onto the strange pillars that appeared all over the Edhen World's outer surface and destroyed them individually.
As the last rectangular pillar of the strange metal disintegrated by the power of the solar flare, a strange cocoon-like forcefield appeared around the Edhen World, protecting itself from the solar flare, too.
Simultaneously, a middle-aged man in his red armor appeared in the deep space, a little further away from the area where the exploded parts of pillars were scattered around, and quietly gazed in the direction of the sun.
At the same time, a gigantic flare ray flew in his direction at an incredible speed, transformed into a flame serpent midway, and opened its wide mouth to swallow Udnir as a whole.
"Using the Sun's energy to attack me, huh? Aren't you looking down on me too much?" Udnir slowly raised his hand and made a snap.
The next instant, a strange invisible ripple came out of his body, spread through the surroundings at an incredible speed, enveloped Edhen World and even the nearby asteroids, red moons, and even the planets, and abruptly halted everything's movement.
