Mystical Journey 1070 Fusion 2

As for Garen, it was different. The biggest difference between him and an average person was that he could consume close to 100% energy and make use of most of the energy while others could only absorb at most 50% of the energy. This saved him half of the expenses. In addition to that, his peacock technique would not reject anything and was able to eat everything! Even if it was highly toxic, as long as it had energy, it would be absorbed. Therefore, many highly radioactive energy wastes that were useless to others could be used by Garen.

He had decided to choose both of the secret techniques as a foundation to improve his Scarlet Snow Technique and immediately began train all day and night.

The fixed supply of food provided by the sect was way too little. He needed to swallow exactly a thousand units of energy every day. It was the kind of ore that had not been extracted and the residue of the ores that he had digested piled up into a small hill.

Energy ores, all kinds of high-energy crystals, high-energy medicines, and other scraps. As long there was energy, Garen would eat anything with his Devourer Ability.

However, the energy of these things were not even close to the blood bead that Carthage had given him. That blood bead alone enabled him to directly break through a stage of the Scarlet Snow Technique, and that made him miss the time when he swallowed the two blood beads.

Since his computing power could no longer keep up, he could only forcibly promote his exercises so that it would increase his computing power and intelligence. After all, Garen had no other way.

After an attribute reached 10 points, it required more than a 100 potential points to increase the attribute by one point, and he currently had 500 potential points. In fact, he only had 498 points, which was simply not enough to increase his attribute points. Moreover, if he used it all now, what would he do in the future? He might need much more later on.

Therefore, using Superimposition Secret Techniques to forcibly improve his Scarlet Snow Technique was the way to go. It was also the most traditional way of practicing, and all the Energy Machinists in Planet Naga were doing the same.

After all, intelligence was a natural gift, other than Garen, no one was able to directly promote it...

However, just as Garen was concentrating on his training, there was a problem at the Four-Star Alliance.

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

Four-Star Alliance, Planet Gideon, night.

On the edge of a broken bridge across the canyon, in the middle of a small piece of open space, Klaibe and Baylon were sitting by a bonfire. They were roasting two small rodents on top of the bonfire and applied oil on it from time to time. The roasted rodents were giving off a faint meaty aroma.

Both of them were drooling as they had their eyes fixed on the roasted rodents.

By this time, they were no longer as clean and tidy as when they first arrived. They were dirty, and many parts of their clothes were torn. Their faces had gotten gray and they looked like beggars who were asking for food.

"This is the last bit of food left," Klaibe said as he stared at the rodents greedily and his stomach started grumbling.

"There are a lot of rodents on this planet... it's everywhere..." Klaibe gulped.

"Of course," Red Moon suddenly popped out of nowhere and said. "The biggest hobby of the Gideon family is to keep rodents! They themselves are the biggest rodent nests, and it will be odd if there aren't many rats here. That is why they are known as the Gideon Rodents."

"Oh yeah, where did the sound that we heard previously come from?" Klaibe asked curiously.

"I don't know, but everything that happens on this planet should be related to the Gideon Family, since this is their planet," Red Moon explained.

"Now that both of you can't activate my accessory armor, you will just be killing yourself if you go to another place. All you can do now is to find me a pair of wings in this place, only then you can gain power by using my accessory mech. This is why the Royal Star is so troublesome. The both of you obviously had a mech with an Inherited Level bursting power, but now, the both of you are just two extremely weak ordinary humans. At most, you have greater strength and better imitation ability as compared to ordinary humans..."

"There is no other way. After all, we have reached a level where many pilots cannot reach even after many years of hard work. It is normal to pay this price," Baylon smiled. "Moreover, didn't you say that the difference between the both of us compared to ordinary pilots and Energy Machinist, was that they needed to reach Level Seven in Non-Falling Level to be able to fuse mechs, but we only need to reach Level Six, as long as we find the right mech core. Then, we can fuse it into our body and use it for the Reagent Level Resonance when the time comes. This is to enable us to detect and comprehend so that we can make up for this imperfection."

"Indeed. During my prime, finding a few cores wasn't a problem, but now… this is my only hope," Red moon sighed.

"Actually, if you think about it, Royal Star is really scary... All he had to do was follow the training method that Boss Red Moon gave him to continuously improve, and he quickly reached a very high level. Although there is a drawback if he took off his mech, which would dramatically decrease his strength, but after he reached the Inherited Level and fused with a mech core, he was able to make up for this weakness. After fusing his own body with a mech, it substantially increased the strength of his body. This world... is really unfair..." Klaibe sighed.

"No, this is why the world is fair," Red Moon said calmly. "I am at the Reagent Level and I can help Royal Star grow really quickly because it is based on the level that I am at, which is the Reagent Level. In fact, when Royal Star was leveling up, he mostly depended on the accumulation of the Reagent Level. The previous generation's hard work resulted in this difference by passing on their accumulation to their next generation. It's that simple."

"For example, there are two families. One of them, since their grandfather's generation, they had worked harder than the other family, and this resulted in the gap. And after that, even their father's generation worked harder than the other family, which resulted in a bigger gap. Therefore, the third generation naturally have a large gap compared to the other family, because of their previous two generations. This is fair. Otherwise, all the hard work of the previous two generations will go to waste and both families' third generation will be at the same level which would be truly unfair," Red Moon explained.

"That makes sense," Both Klaibe and Baylon nodded. "This is indeed the case. To put it simply, not that it's unfair, just that your ancestors did not work as hard as other people's ancestors. Therefore, there's a gap between the accumulations."

"And luck is also one of the factors," Baylon added.

"Yeah, luck is…" Red Moon was hurt. "My luck was really bad that year..."

Klaibe could not help but say, "Actually... to be honest, even if you were not injured that year, you would not withstand one hit… So please just move on."

"Are you trying to comfort me or start a fight!!?" Red Moon became angry from embarrassment.

"There's someone!!" Suddenly, the tone of Red Moon changed. "He's quick! Let's hide! Quick!!"

Just when Klaibe and Baylon stood up, they heard a ghostly scream from Red Moon, and then he suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the fire at the bonfire started burning violently. A tall black metal mech appeared right in front of them.

"A mech! Why is there a mech in this place!!?" Klaibe was dumbfounded. Planet Gideon was empty for a few years, and their Planet's jump portal and wormhole were destroyed. Even their inverse space had a terrifying space storm, so no one was able to enter, and they got in using a special way. How was it possible for people to be in such a huge planet??

However, he did not know that Planet Gideon was not completely sealed. At least the only survivor of the Gideon Family, White Night was able to enter and leave this place through a teleportation array.

The mech that suddenly appeared was four meters tall. Although it was considered short among the five to six-meter tall standard mechs, the unique part of it was that a black huge sword was stuck in the entire body of the mech and black blood marks could be seen around the edge of the sword.

The entire mech looked like a bloated astronaut as it had large and rounded limbs as if oval-shaped balls were being stringed together. It had a black body and a head with faint blue light.

"Discovered humans... begin to arrest," the mech stood still for a moment, scanned through Klaibe and Baylon and said with a mechanical tone.

"We are just interstellar adventurers that fell into this planet!" Klaibe shouted and raised his hands to show that he was harmless.

But unfortunately, the mech ignored him. With a 'swoosh', it instantly appeared right before Klaibe and Baylon and caught the both of them.

The both of them were being held in their hands and they gave up on resisting.

The both of them without their mechs were just a little stronger than an average person. While facing a speed-type mech, it would be foolish to retaliate.

Neither Klaibe nor Baylon were fools. They immediately gave up on resisting and allowed the mech to catch them, one in each hand. Then it jumped into the air and flew towards the distant bridge.

"Spirit number 109 found two humans. Rank determination, ordinary people; unconscious forces and harmless units."

The black mech continuously produced a mechanical sound while flying mid-air, and it seemed to be communicating.

"Drop them into the mining slavery group," a woman's cold voice was heard coming from the other side.

This surprised both Klaibe and Baylon, there was actually someone here!

"Be careful... This is a spirit mech from the ancient times. It is extremely fast and it will nearly negate half of the damage caused by physical attacks. It is very troublesome!" Only then, Red Moon's voice was heard. "Fortunately it is a broken version, otherwise, even I will be discovered. It seems like someone discovered the remains of a spirit mech, but do not understand how its technology works."

"Are you all right, Boss Red Moon?" Klaibe asked softly.

"I'm all right, but both of you need to be careful. Without your mechs, you are no different from ordinary people. Just wait for the right opportunity and do not be impatient," Red Moon warned.

"Understood."

"As long as you don't reveal your identities, you are worth nothing to them."

Garen was quietly sitting at the center of his mansion and his body was emitting a dense white cold air. The cold air was almost like tails that constantly waved around Garen.

Looking from afar, it was as though the cold white air was a living creature which constantly moved around in the center of the mention, as if a spirit, and it was extremely odd.

Garen was dressed in black clothing and he was sitting there with his eyes closed. A dead tree around him was being frozen into a huge icicle, and the walls of the yard around him were covered with a thick layer of ice. The ground was also completely covered by a layer of ice, and the entire mansion had completely become an ice world.

In the sky, a flying white bird accidentally flew slightly lower, and it immediately rushed upwards due to the snow white cold air. The mansion was like a giant bird which accurately caught on the bird by lifting its head slightly and gobbled up the bird. The flying bird quickly turned into a block of ice and dropped onto the ground of the backyard.

A 'crash' sound was heard, as though a broken glassware, the flying bird broke into countless pieces of ice shards. But strangely, no blood was found on the ice pieces, as if all the flesh and blood had dried up and turned into a pale white.

All of a sudden, Garen opened his eyes.

"I've finally completed...."

After combining the Hellfrost Peacock's Cold Chaos and Devourer Force Field Ability with the Scarlet Snow Technique's Cold Inherited Level force field, it formed an extremely strong Cold Territory.

This type of Cold Territory can devourer any living creatures with vital energy through freezing them. At the same time, it can also freeze any foreign object and digest it completely.

A white light flashed in Garen's eyes, and suddenly, a large stone at the side of the ground that was covered in cold air had a stiff and firm ice layer on the surface. While it was being covered in cold air, the stone began to shrink at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

In less than half a minute, that piece of meter long white stone completely disintegrated from an ice cube into stone powder. The extremely little organic substances and energy in it were being absorbed by Garen.

"Any living creature that I have frozen will fall into a mental chaos that is twice as strong as the original Cold Chaos. Then, they will be in a complete despair and will lose any will to fight," Garen himself did not know how strong this new territory was, because there was no reference. However, he knew that within this territory, those who were nearer to him would need to withstand a greater pressure, freezing pressure, chaotic despair pressure, and their vital energy being devoured.

"It is now not appropriate to call it Cold Chaos. Let's change it into a simpler name, Faded Creation."

This name was very appropriate. It engulfed, froze and caused despair, which was the exact meaning of Faded Creation.
