Chapter 441: Changes in the Inner World
After a long silence, Charles looked at the broken statue and shook his head.
'So, that statue had a Divinity, huh.' Although he felt regret inside, he didn't put too much thought into it. After all, he knew very well that the Light Divinity had no use for him now.
'What I'm more curious is about the Chaos Fire.' He muttered inwardly, walked away from the ritual circle, and soon found a comfortable place to sit. Then, he closed his eyes, entered his Inner World, and soon found himself standing before the ritual circle-like elemental heart imprint. At that moment, a large amount of fire-elemental energy came out of it and was filling up his Inner World at an unimaginable speed.
Most of the elemental energy went towards the dark sky to fill up the emptied spell models and then fell in the form of fireball showers. A total of six types of fireballs fell from those spell models, crashed on the destroyed land, and soon filled his Inner World in the form of fire and lavas. They were Chaos Fireballs, Soul Fireballs, Wicked Flameballs, Whitish False Fireballs, Lawful Fireballs, and the Purplish Mind Fireballs. Charles looked up at the raining fireballs for a moment, shifted his gaze towards the Fire Elemental Imprint, and soon fell into deep thoughts.
In truth, the main reason for the previous elemental imprint's destruction during the soul-shattering incident was mainly due to his Inner World instabilities. Indeed, his Inner World and his soul were actually in a vulnerable state at that time. If the Goddess Sasha's Avatar had intervened directly, he would have died right there. Not even the remnant fragments of his soul would be left alone.
'I also relied on the power of Luck too much.' A frown appeared on his face.
'Because of such power, I finally managed to break the shackle of Destiny and formed a new unwritten future for myself.' Currently, his future appeared infinite. Each of his actions might lead to multiple consequences. But once he comes in contact with Legend Rank or above Rank Mystics, his whole future would also change. At that moment, his own life would be at the higher power's mercy.
'In the end, I'm still a powerless Mystic. My soul may have reached the level of Demi-God, but my physical strength is far below.' But he had already set his goals.
First, he had to strengthen his fire-affinity to the 'Divine' level. After that, he had to comprehend the essences of seven spell models and become a Taboo Existence. Otherwise, those powerful beings would squash to death in no time!
'But I'm not even close to even face a Legend Rank Mystic.' He couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face. After some thoughts, he dismissed those thoughts and shifted his attention towards his Inner World.
First, he hovered up in the sky and arrived in front of the ball of chaos fire. But instead of comprehending it, he conjured a ball of Rebirth Flame, created a tear-like structure, and enveloped the chaos fireball using it.
After that, he used the power of Imagination and made a 3-meter tall lava pillar. Then, he used his wisdom power, controlled the tear-enveloped chaos fire, and placed it on the top of the lava pillar. He then sealed the 'Chaos Fireball' and put it there safely.
Following that, he shifted his attention towards the elemental imprint, gathered all the fire-elemental energy above it, and created a rocky floor while leaving a large hole. Then, he closed his eyes, released his full wisdom power, and controlled the whole Inner World.
For the next few hours, he hovered in the middle of the air, continued to pull fire-elemental energies from the imprint, and sent them towards the spell models. On the other hand, those spell models sprinkled those fireballs towards his Inner World and caused great destruction everywhere.
Lavas formed after those fireballs ignited the volcanic rocks and mountains and almost turned half of the Inner World into the sea of lavas! What's more surprising was that the lavas appeared in different colors and clashed with one other.
In the meantime, Charles hovered in the middle of the air and observed his Inner World like a God.
After waiting for a few more hours, he opened his eyes all of a sudden, raised both hands, and muttered in a cold voice.
"Split!"
A moment later, his whole Inner World shook violently, and the ground started moving on its own while creating cracks everywhere. Before long, a single landmass started to split up into seven islands.
No, they weren't islands but appeared more like seven continents!
What's more surprising was that the elemental imprint didn't sink or join in any of those islands. Instead, the land beneath him rose upward and already formed into a large mountain.
On the other hand, the sea of lavas also moved away from those landmasses, fell into the cracked areas, and formed into lava seas.
Currently, the long mountain stood in the middle of those seven islands and appeared to be dominating the whole Inner World.
In the meantime, Charles landed on the mountain's summit and created a beautiful palace next to the Elemental Imprint. Then, he stayed in his Inner World for another few hours and made a few more alterations.
Once everything was over, he left his Inner World and soon opened his eyes in the underground chamber.
Then, he stood up from the brick floor, released his wisdom power, and soon frowned as he sensed multiple presences were arguing with Melody outside.
'Oh? Morning already? The Light Knights and Priests are questioning her about my whereabouts? Hmm? Why is the priest asking for Duke's whereabouts? How long has it been?' He got startled a little.
Although Charles had no idea how long he stayed in this chamber, he vaguely guessed that he must be here for more than a day.
'Hmm, what should I do now?' A question appeared in his mind. Although he managed to recreate his Elemental Heart without any disturbance, he still felt somewhat disturbed by those previous anomalies.
'My next goal is obviously to go back to Edhen World. But I don't have a single clue about how to go back. There are two methods. One is to find if there is any clue hidden in the Holy See of the Light Church. The second one is to go to the Magewind City and search for a way over there. Nope, it's too dangerous for me to go there now.' From Duke's memories, he also learned that there were some unique artifacts even in the Light Church to distinguish one's real identity. They created these unique artifacts mainly to prevent any infiltration of Skin Walker into the Light Church or the Royal Palace.
'It's better to act cautiously. If I'm not wrong, this anonymous person named Victor is more cautious towards Daniel than Prince Julius. Hmm, if I want to fool him, I need to act as two people from now on.' He paused for a moment and decided to create future goals for his two identities.
'First is about Daniel. He is an innocent kid who was forced into a battle and went through emotional changes. But his life changed after he found his ancestor's legacy, turned into a Demon Sorcerer and decided to walk on the path of evil. His goal is the same as mine. Daniel wanted to enslave all those nobles, form a great army and invade the Holy See. Then, it's about Prince Julius.'
'Unlike Daniel, Prince Julius's goal is to maintain law and order. He will turn his enemies into allies and become an obstacle for this evil sorcerer's growth. Hehe, this is good. If I want to lure this mysterious Victor out of the shadow, I've to keep this identity much more secret. First, I should form an enmity between these two characters and let this mysterious person think that Prince Julius is a good candidate for the next king of Aetas Kingdom…' A cunning smile appeared on his face as he formed a new plan in his mind.
