Chapter 270 - 180: Divine Ruins 2

Thor had just opened his eyes.

His gaze involuntarily turned towards the distant sky.

"It’s about to begin!"

A soft voice spoke, and Thor’s expression bore a certain heaviness.

According to daily intelligence, it was highly likely that the Divine Ruins would descend tomorrow.

So, without surprise, it might be today that the Divine Awakening truly begins.

And this was the main reason for his solemnity.

The descent of the Divine Ruins, the first wave to enter would undoubtedly gain the most.

But to be in the first group to enter the Divine Ruins, one must arrive nearby at the moment of its opening.

Yet this would inevitably come with great risk.

Thor knew well that a terrifying battle would soon erupt where the Divine Awakening was.

It was a battle above the Sky Knights, between the Holy Sanctuary Knights, and with his small arms and legs, no one could guarantee that accidents wouldn’t happen if he got involved.

But if he waited for everything to end, he would undoubtedly miss being in the first group.

Though even if not in the first group, with his current talent, his gains from the Divine Ruins would not be small.

But who would mind gaining too much?

With a heavy gaze, thoughts intertwined continuously in his mind.

He was weighing the pros and cons.

But as he was thinking.

Isabel, Joz, and Aisha walked over.

"Miss Isabel?"

Thor spoke hesitantly, looking at the three.

"Sir Thor, you’ve noticed the situation ahead, haven’t you?"

Isabel spoke with a smile, gesturing towards the distant sky shrouded in black mist and ominous presence.

"Noticed?"

"What is this?"

Thor felt a stir in his heart, then nodded, asking with confusion.

"If there’s no surprise, that should be where the Divine Awakening is happening, probably as it begins right now."

Listening to Thor’s words, Isabel pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Divine Awakening?"

Thor feigned surprise.

"Sir Thor should be aware of the Divine Ruins!"

Isabel, not caring if Thor was truly surprised or not, continued with a smile.

"I know a little. It’s said that if Divine Descent cannot occur, the Divine Ruins will descend upon the continent. Containing part of the Deities’ Power of Law, it’s very useful for a knight’s training."

Thor nodded, speaking slowly.

He wasn’t just being modest.

The Dressrosa Family, being merely a Count’s Clan, indeed knew little about the Divine Ruins.

"Indeed, the Divine Ruins emerge when Divine Descent can’t occur, formed from the residual divine power left on the continent. They do contain part of the Deities’ Power of Law, enough to accelerate a knight’s training."

"But there’s another crucial point. Once a knight reaches the Holy Sanctuary Knight level, to advance further requires comprehending the Power of Laws and forming their own Divinity. Comprehending even a bit of the shattered Divine Power can further enhance a knight at the level of Holy Sanctuary Knight."

Isabel slowly explained the information about the Divine Ruins to Thor.

Facing Isabel’s explanation, Thor appeared to be very serious.

"I see, thank you, Miss Isabel, for enlightening me."

Taking a deep breath, Thor expressed his gratitude.

Knowledge is extremely important in any world, and although he had gained some understanding of the Divine Ruins through daily intelligence and family information, it wasn’t as clear.

At this moment, with Isabel’s explanation, he undoubtedly gained a clearer understanding.

"No need to thank me; any top-level nobility of the Kingdom would know this."

"This time, I came not to say this, but to ask Sir Thor if you’re interested in the Divine Ruins?"

Isabel shook her head, then spoke solemnly.

"Of course!"

"Miss Isabel, what do I need to do?"

Thor hesitated slightly before nodding, his expression turning serious as he looked at Isabel.

"Sir Thor, you’ve misunderstood. Thanks to your help these days, my elder sister wants to know if you’d like to join us in going to the Divine Ruins."

Joz Anubi laughed as he spoke.

"Oh?"

Thor raised an eyebrow, feeling a little surprised as he thought these people wanted to do something.

But he hadn’t expected them to "inform" him.

"Indeed, in the future, please take care of my younger brother, Sir Thor."

Isabel nodded with a smile.

"Thank you!"

"But, Miss Isabel, could I invite my brother?"

Thor smiled and nodded, then moved with hesitation as he asked.

"Of course!"

Isabel smiled and nodded.

"Thank you!"

Thor agreed to it.

He wasn’t worried about any issues arising.

The daily intelligence had shown no warning, indicating that there was no threat.

Countless times in the past, this had been verified, and this time would be no different.

Moreover, the issue he pondered earlier seemed to have an answer now.

Since it was known that the first group gained the most, these powerful nobility families would undoubtedly have made preparations. By sticking with them, he could avoid unexpected occurrences and the fallout from any battles.

With a hint of joy in his heart.

He instructed Steve, nearby.

Steve promptly stood up and headed towards where Brian was.

Meanwhile, Thor and the others continued their conversation.

Isabel was undoubtedly intrigued by Thor, as even the originally proud Aisha appeared curious.

It couldn’t be helped, as even after a few days of fighting, they felt Thor’s strength.

Though only a Great Knight, his strength was already on par with a typical Earth Knight.

"Sir Thor, are you not surprised by the descent of the Divine Ruins?"

Aisha asked curiously, her gaze scrutinizing Thor.

"Miss Aisha, you jest. I’m quite surprised. I’ve only read about the Divine Ruins in the annals."

Thor replied with a smile.

"Really?"

Aisha asked with some doubt, instinctively questioning.

"Aisha!"

Isabel interjected, prompting Aisha to promptly close her mouth.

"Sir Thor, my sister was abrupt; I sincerely apologize."

Isabel then apologized to Thor.

"Miss Isabel, please don’t worry about it."

Thor smiled and shook his head, indicating he didn’t mind.

In fact, he truly didn’t mind; his behavior was bound to reveal some peculiarities, but they could only be seen as peculiarities, not definitive proof of anything.

Moreover, the Divine Ruins and Divine Awakening were known by many. Learning of it might surprise others, but it wasn’t that surprising.

The connections between the Kingdom’s nobility were intricate.

No one knew the relationships between various nobility members.

Otherwise, how would not only the Three Great Dukes and the Royal Family know about the Divine Revelation, but several Marquis Families also learned of it?

And even joined the actions.

Although he’s part of the Count’s Clan, who could be sure the Dressrosa Family didn’t have such connections?

Clearly, Isabel was aware of this, which is why she hadn’t inquired further.

And as they were conversing.

Steve soon brought Brian over.

"Thor!"

"Miss Isabel!"

Looking at everyone, Brian couldn’t help but recall Thor’s previous words to him.
