Prime Originator Chapter 524

Published at 7th of December 2021 03:10:05 PM

After Gaia was struck by the heatwave, the world's temperature swiftly rose for a period of time and was also the planet's hottest period.

Nevertheless, after some time, the world's temperature would eventually return to normal. Until then, the people needed to do their best to avoid direct sunlight and survive.

Leon locked onto the Wrathful Demonic Energy within Princess Thessalia and royal guards before he extracted them with Divine Will, absorbing the energy into his body before it corrupted their bodies further.

"What are you…"

"You were all plagued by a type of Wrathful Demonic Energy, which prevented your wounds from being healed. However, it should be fine now," Leon explained casually.

Princess Thessalia and the royal guards were surprised.

Nevertheless, Princess Thessalia quickly shook her head and said, "Never mind that. What about you? Isn't this energy very harmful? Are you going to be okay?"

"Don't worry. I know what I am doing. You should take the rest of your people and return to the top of the Great Wall to recuperate, Princess Thessalia. I will take care of the situation here," Leon suggested calmly.

Princess Thessalia stared hard at Leon for a moment before she nodded with a sigh, "Alright. Sorry for troubling you with our responsibilities, Prince Leon."

"Don't mind it. You will all become the citizens of my Crawford Empire. As such, it is my duty as its crown prince to take care of all of you."

Princess Thessalia furrowed her brows slightly after Leon's words, but she shortly nodded and excused herself, dragging her body along with the royal guards to leave.

Not many would dare to absorb Demonic Energy, let alone this type of Demonic Energy that contained traces of the Wrath Law.

If Leon did not have his Black Vortex Space and Nihility Law, he would also be the same as the others. But since that is not the case, he was naturally destined to be different from other people. 

Shortly after the Wrathful Demonic Energy was refined by the Black Vortex and absorbed into Leon's energy ring, he noticed tiny fragments of Wrath Law in the mix.

His eyes immediately shone with a glint.

Although the law fragments were comparable to a single grain of rice in a rice bowl, insect meat was still meat. It was better than nothing. 

With enough accumulation, it will turn into something useful.

However, the discovery of these law fragments came as much of a surprise as it alarmed him! 

For there to be law fragments present after the refinement, this implied Leon had absorbed someone, something, or some supreme entity's sliver of will! 

Princess Thessalia and the royal guards were directly scalded by the sun's surge of concentrated Solar Energy. 

As such, the Wrathful Demonic Energy could only have come from the Solar Energy, which in turns, came from the sun directly!

"Wrong, wrong, everything was wrong. The fleshly abominations did not produce the Demonic Energy. They filtered them from the Solar Energy the Energy Conversion Tower collected!" Leon muttered in realization. 

He did not even dare to imagine what this entailed. 

Glancing down, Leon could see his own hands trembling before he tried to stop it with his other hand. He was trembling in fear. 

Whatever life challenges were thrown at him, he would always find a way to overcome them. 

But when the difficulty of the life challenge is set so tremendously high and seems nigh impossible to overcome, Leon suddenly felt lost. 

He did not know what to do.

The Cataclysm was a calamitous event that did not frequently happen throughout history. In fact, there were no records of it beyond the era of the Nova Civilization!

However, it was occurring for the third time within a 10-thousand year period. Something has sparked the Cataclysm to happen, and at an accelerated frequency at that!

Artificial Spirit Energy Conversion Relics. 

It can only be that.

Although they were ultimately destroyed by that greed, they have started the timer to unleash something horrible on the world.

The Cataclysm was not a calamitous event. It was just the prelude to the true catastrophic event!

Suddenly, a pair of supple mounds pressed against Leon's back before soft white hands wrapped around his neck.

"It's not like you to be distracted in the middle of a crisis. When you are feeling lost, you can consult those around you, you know?" Faelyn's words entered his ears.

She was not sure what Leon was thinking about. However, she wanted to share his burden and be there for him, just like when he was there for her. 

Leon shook his head with a rueful smile. 

He was tired of being weak. Naturally, he had to remain firm and strong in front of those he wanted to protect. 

Although Faelyn interrupted his thoughts, she also calmed him down. It definitely had nothing to do with the pair of soft mounds pressing on his back. Ahem, definitely not…

After Leon calmed down, he was able to think about matters more thoroughly. 

There might be some sort of almighty devil sealed within the sun, but the seal has not been broken yet. There was still time—time to prepare for the worse.

After taking a deep breath, Leon's eyes flickered with determination. 

"Thanks, Faelyn. But it won't be necessary." Leon held Faelyn's hand on his cheek to feel her warmth. However, he suddenly felt her hand trembled slightly before he noticed her wound. 

He separated from Faelyn to study her hand's wound carefully before he said with a frown, "You got scalded by Solar Energy as well?" 

As he said this, Leon extracted the trace of Wrathful Demonic Energy from Faelyn before quickly healing her wound with Wood Energy.

Faelyn gasped softly with surprise before recovering after a moment.

"Un, but it was just a minor burn. However, quite a few tribesmen suffered much more terrible burns than mine during the first wave," She replied.

Leon nodded. 

"Let's go gather them all for treatment. It will become a problem if the Demonic Energy in their burns are left untreated." He said.

If the corruption infiltrates the elves' minds, they would undoubtedly go berserk—or much worse, undergo some strange mutation after extended exposure to the sun.
