Chapter 924: Counterattack 2

“Looks like I’ll only be able to come up with a solution from prison. Perhaps Professor might have a solution. There would definitely be some pretty talented individuals in the Black Flood Party’s heavy-duty offenders prison.”

While sitting inside the car, Garen began to arrange his next plan carefully.

“If managed to infiltrate the Black Flood Party’s heavy-duty offenders prison and implant my parasites into one or two strong Mech Pilots, although I would be unable to control the life or death of a Mech Pilot that possessed a Distorted Seed at any time, the units that hosted parasites would not to attack me as the main body. On the contrary, once they entered the battlefield, they would only get rid of other creatures of different species than themselves. They would also control the time of the mutated distortions on their own. It’s unlikely that most people would reject these conditions. After all, this would also be an opportunity for them to upgrade their level by a great extent.”

“Additionally other than Mech Pilots, perhaps the other mutated creatures outside the radiation belts would make pretty good parasite hosts as they are already naturally strong, I’m certain that their powers would increase greatly if they were implanted with parasites…”

A plan formed in Garen’s mind slowly.

Although his own powers were not strong as they had reached a standstill, the strength of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique had finally begun to appear, slowly. This conformed to the power levels that were famously associated with Living Secret Techniques.

“I’ll build a biochemical pool now first and attempt to implant parasites into the biochemical creatures. Perhaps there will be somewhat impressive discoveries.”

Ideas floated around in Garen’s mind. He did not know what kind of changes would occur throughout the explosive troops that were formed in the biochemical pools after they fused with the Distorted Seed. According to the theories and inferences, perhaps the Distorted Seed would get rid of the biochemical creatures’ limited numbers as it would be impossible for the biochemical creatures that had fallen into chaos to accept the control of the biochemical pool. Therefore, as long as he had sufficient materials, he would be able to continuously create a limitless pool of explosive soldiers within a short span of time.

“If the theories are proven…” Garen’s mind began to burn with enthusiasm. “The other Energy Machinists have their own control quotas such as the Level Two Energy Machinists being able to control two biochemical creatures. The Energy Machinist’s somewhat impressive Training Methods allow them to increase the limit by one creature while the biochemical pool lets them control another one, which adds up to two creatures in total. If my Distorted Seed works, I will be able to create an endless amount until I have enough of them as long as my Distorted Seeds are sufficient!”

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a burning blue meteor descended from the sky and fell in front of the car that he was sitting inside. It soared towards Garen’s car and flew directly towards it.

“Die!!”

A low voice echoed furiously.

The tremendously terrifying momentum seemed almost physical when its strong pressure collided against Garen’s body brutally.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

The drivers and bodyguards from the surrounding cars were immediately blasted into pieces of bloody flesh that could be turned into cans of human minced meat. They were unable to endure this tremendous pressure at all.

This strength was not merely gravity or any other kind of Energy Field. Instead, it was purely the stress of extremely strong Willpower!!

Garen felt as if his entire body had sunk into a glue-like swamp as it was absolutely difficult to move. His eyes widened when he heard continuous cracking noises coming from the bones inside his body. The blood and flesh of certain parts of his body had gradually collapsed as well while the cells and organizations kept on breaking down and dying.

Red trails of blood flowed out of his nostrils, ears, and eyes slowly.

As the heavy pressure continued to close in on him, Garen’s vision became a complete blur. He was unable to see anything clearly while his ears were filled with a brief popping noise before he became deaf as well.

“This power…??!”

Beep… Beep… Beep…

A series of hurried alarm noises echoed throughout the car continuously. Strangely enough, the city’s defense installations had not reacted during this surprise attack. However, guarding shields that were used for segregation appeared immediately throughout a large expanse of the surroundings.

A beautiful sky blue Humanoid Mech with a Body that as smooth as a mirror was currently extending its body while flying down slowly from a crackle of blue flames.

He carried a slender spear on his back that had black flames burning faintly at its tip.

The most eye-catching thing about it was the snowy white, silver-rimmed cloak that was hung on the left shoulder of its Body. The word ‘wind’ was written in big letters on the cloak.

The sky colored Body stretched its large handout and attempted to violently grab Garen who was inside the car below.

“You dare!!”

A roar could be heard.

A ray of light that was reflected off the blade shot downwards and pierced through the shield from afar. It hit the large hand of the blue Body violently and forced it to take a few steps backward.

A low voice echoed from afar.

“Seventh! You will suffer the consequences if you dare lay a finger on him today!!”

Another similar dark blue mirror-like Body floated down slowly and appeared in the sky nearby. The same silvery-white cloak hung from its left shoulder with the word ‘wind’ written there in large letters. The difference between it and the Mech Body with the long spear was that there was a slender pitch black thin sword that was as dark as ink which hung from its waist.

“If I find the person who dared to ambush my son, don’t blame me for humiliating you, Six”, huffed the Body with the long spear coldly. He turned around and walked away unhurriedly before his Body sank into an empty space and disappeared without a trace.

The Body with a black sword that remained lowered its head and glanced at Garen whose entire body was covered in blood inside the car.

“Be careful, Seventh will take action immediately with the slightest suspicion. Don’t clash with Remington anymore in the future. He has never needed proof.”

He turned around and slipped into an empty space as well.

Only then did the terrifyingly powerful pressure disappear slowly.

Once that frightening pressure had finally disappeared gradually, only then did Garen heal from that heavy force slowly.

He felt like a heavy-duty truck had run over his entire body continuously. Blood was pouring out of all of his five sensory organs while most of the muscles in his body had torn. Large cracks had of various extents had appeared throughout the bones of his whole body as well. Moreover, most of his internal organs were bleeding.

He opened and closed his mouth in an attempt to speak but the only thing that escaped his throat was a violent tearing pain.

“Divine Wind General…” He closed his eyes and carved this name into his mind firmly.

He had no strength left to resist.

He had never once encountered an enemy that could strip him of all power to resist and this stopped him from being able to move as well.

The terrifyingly oppressive Willpower caused his whole body to become critically injured to the point where he was at the brink of death. Previously, he had tried to think about the strength of the Divine Wind General Level many times. However, he had never expected that the power of the other party would actually reach this degree.

Other than himself, most of the pedestrians in the surroundings of the small town had exploded because of this ominous pressure and none of them had survived.

Within a range and vicinity of over a hundred meters, no one else had survived other than him. The other person’s unscrupulous nature had reached an extent that could not be glossed over at all.

He used his last bits of strength to add one Potential Point to his Vitality. Finally, Garen fell into a coma completely when he was unable to endure it anymore. His body had suffered extremely critical injuries in which the best state of healing was when his Willpower was in a dormant state.

*********************

Within the confusion, Garen felt as if he had heard a noise.

There was nothing but darkness in front of him while his Willpower was slightly blurry as well.

“How much longer will it take for him to wake up?” It sounded like Celine’s voice speaking extremely coldly.

“I’m not sure about the whole situation. However, his injuries are really very serious. A normal person would have died much earlier if they suffered injuries of this degree. I never expected that someone like him who had suffered a terrifying ambush like this would actually survive so tenaciously. Our hospital has only seen a handful of living examples like this,” said another unfamiliar voice. “His vitality is extremely strong. Many times, we only need to guide him faintly for a while before he’s able to heal himself quickly and automatically. This is truly rare!”

“Will he suffer any disabilities?” Celine continued to ask. “He’s already been in a coma for five days!”

“We’ve assembled all of the first-rate medical teams and the treatment plans that they have formulated is definitely the most suitable one for him. Disabilities, perhaps there will be certain effects but these will depend on the condition of his healing in the future.”

“I believe that he’ll be fine.”

“We will do all we can. Sigh”

The sound of a door being opened could be heard.

Garen could feel his Willpower clearing up gradually. Various memories and scenes replayed in his mind again.

“That’s right, I was ambushed…”

The powerful sky blue Body appeared in his mind.

“Divine Wind General…”

When he opened his eyes slowly, Garen could see the white ceiling.

“You’re awake!!” Celine’s face burst into his field of vision immediately. She looked sallow as if she had not rested for a long time. She had dark circles around her eyes and was much thinner than before. When she saw that Garen had awakened, the surprise on her face was very apparent.

“You’ve finally woken up!!” She sighed in relief quickly. “I’ll go look for a doctor!”

“No need.”

Garen opened his mouth and spoke.

“How long have I been unconscious?” He could hear his own voice. It sounded very hoarse like a pair of bellows that were leaking air.

“Five days and five nights. Someone tried to stab you to death and I killed five or six people because of them”, answered Celine softy. “You can rest properly. I’m here, don’t worry.”

Garen nodded. His entire body was heavily injured while both his Willpower and physical body were at the brink of collapsing. There were many people who wanted to take his life, especially those who wanted the Rainbow Stones in his hands to refine their skills and powers. This item and his business had made many people envious for a long time. Garen would never dare to let his guard down in the presence of the other collaborative partners except for Celine who was the only committed individual whom he could trust. After all, he gained profits of at least a few hundred million every year.

“Be careful of the Seventh Divine Wind General because Fila would never let such a rare opportunity go. He will definitely make his move!!” said Garen in a low voice.

“I know”, Celine nodded with a solemn look on her face. “My household’s latest security systems have been installed in every corner of this building. The five different tests will be able to stop the entry and exit of all hidden equipment. The powerhouses from my household are keeping guard outside. What should we do with the people that your Professor sent?”

“Ask them to patrol the periphery temporarily. If Professor’s friends hadn’t come to save me that other day, I would’ve died right there and then”, said Garen coldly. “Don’t worry, I’ll heal in no time. My body will not be a huge obstacle”. However, he was not speaking honestly. He could heal his body with his Potential Points but had no way of healing his Willpower. The Willpower of his Crouched Eagle Talon had suffered serious damages and nearly collapsed. Therefore, it would need at least a few years to heal. Even if he had built his Exclusive Mech perfectly, he would not be able to continue entering and controlling it in his current state. Meanwhile, he only had 37 Potential Points left. Hence, although he could use these Potential Points to quicken the healing process, the speed of his healing would unintentionally reveal his biggest secret. Regardless of anything, he could not control the Exclusive Mech or become a Resonance Mech Pilot at the first instance.

He would either need to delay this for at least a year or proceed with everything in the dark.

“What plans do you have?” asked Celine after being quiet for a while.

“What other plans could I have? My opponent is the Seventh Divine Wind General and I would be fighting overwhelming odds if I were to fight him with my current strength”, answered Garen calmly.

“The Black Flood Party is dominating the Polar Region exclusively and they have the strength of overlords. Forgive me, I have no way of mobilizing my household to confront them directly. However, I can still represent myself!” said Celine softly.

“I know and I don’t blame you. This matter was not an issue that arose when I offended Remington. The main reason is probably the fact that my Professor’s sect over there could not handle them. They merely used this minor issue as an excuse to set out.”

“Your Professor said the same thing. He said that it’s very likely that the other party knows about your talents already. He told you to keep your guard up because the Seventh Wind General has always been thick-skinned. He has never had any emotional burdens even when personally taking action against younger members of his family”, said Celine in an even softer tone.

“Don’t worry, I will make him pay”, Garen took a deep breath and looked at the Attribute Pane at the bottom of his eyes.

Thanks to the Divine Wind General’s contributions, his Hellfrost Peacock Technique that was slightly lacking previously had finally broken through to Level Seven.

The critical injuries that he had sustained this time had failed to achieve their desired effect. Instead, his Living Secret Technique had modified the Vitality of his body completely.

While observing the new changes that had appeared throughout his Living Secret Technique, Garen’s eyes became colder.

‘Secret Technique — Hellfrost Peacock Technique: Living Secret Technique, Level Seven. 0% completion rate of Level Seven.

Natural Ability Obtained — Devoured Energy Field 3 (Devours all living creatures within a certain range to heal itself and condense Distorted Seeds. Its largest diameter is ten meters).

Natural Ability Obtained — Distorted Seed 3 (Creating chaos is the Hellfrost Peacock’s greatest hobby. Increases qualities and upgrades them by three times. Mutated organisms will produce contamination effects. Contaminated organisms will mutate automatically and become secondary distorted organisms. Qualities will increase by 1.5 times.)

Natural Ability Obtained — Cold Chaos 3 (The main body will cause fluctuations of time and space naturally. With the main body as the center, cold air was naturally be released within a surrounding range of 20 meters to form a chaotic low-temperature area where the lowest temperature will be -20 degrees. Simultaneously, there is a small possibility that it will cause chaos within the senses of its enemies, causing them to attack randomly.)

Devour had upgraded the effects of his range. The main improvements could be seen in the Distorted Seed as it was now upgraded to a Level Three Distorted Seed. The mutated qualities had been increased from their initial 1.5 times to their current three times. This was a terrifying extent as once a peak Level Four Mech Pilot’s mutation was increased from its initial 1.5 times and it was strengthened in all aspects, they would automatically become a peak Level Five Mech Pilot. Meanwhile, now that he had been upgraded by three times, he did not know what kind of level he would enter. Moreover, he had gained contamination effects as well which simply turned him into a chaotic powerful killing machine!!

The truly frightening part of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique had started to gradually display itself finally. It was not directed at himself but was a terrifying power that was similar to developing an army!
