Chapter 781: Cry

Chapter 781: Cry

Souta found that the [Divine Light Circulation] was complete volume. He could practice it up to the Ninth Stage of the technique. He thought that it would be just the first volume. With this, he would be able to increase the training speed of his light element. This would boost his strength to a certain degree.

Souta received the last volume of the [Divine Dark Circulation] and the uniform of the Core Disciple. His status in Mince Hand wasn’t low now. He was just lower than the Elders and some Instructors. As for the other students, he was above them.

‘Finally, the complete volume of these two techniques…’

Souta said inwardly. He wanted to return to his room and train these two techniques as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he heard a sound of crying in his head. Souta turned around and looked over to find where the sound came from.

“What’s that?”

He narrowed his eyes and noticed that Instructor Vick, who was beside him, also heard the same sound.

“Instructor, did you hear that too?” Souta asked.

“Yeah, it sounds like someone is crying.” Instructor Vick nodded his head in bewilderment. Both of them were confused as they couldn’t figure out where the sound was coming from.

Souta and Instructor Vick opened the door. They found that the students in the hallway were hearing the same thing. No, the entire Mince Hand was hearing this strange sound of crying.

Sob! Sob!

One of the female students began to cry. They just couldn’t help it and the others followed soon.

“W-Why am I crying?”

“I just felt like crying!”

“I don’t know, I just want to cry!”

One by one the students started crying. Tears gushed out of their eyes as they used their hands to wipe their tears.

Souta opened the window as his eyes adjusted. He scanned and found that the whole city was hearing this strange sound.

‘I’m afraid that it’s not just this city…’ Saya said in a low voice.

Souta looked at the sky as he put his hand on his chest. The sound of crying was affecting him. He didn’t even know what was wrong with this phenomenon.

“What the hell is happening?”

Souta narrowed his eyes as he could see that the mana in the atmosphere was trembling. They were scraping each other, producing a strange invisible ripple in the air. The fluctuations were getting higher and higher every second.

Sob!

Everyone in the entire world was experiencing the same thing. The strange sound of crying was heard throughout the entire world. Every living being couldn’t help but stop what they were doing.

They could feel the sadness penetrate their hearts.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky. It enveloped the whole world as thunder roared fiercely. Violent lightning would flash every second in the sky. After a few seconds, heavy rain descended on every land.

Mother nature struck fiercely. Thousands of feet of tsunami swallowed the seashores around the world, destroying every structure in those regions. All the volcanoes around the world erupted at the same time.

It was a horrible disaster. Ordinary people could hope to survive in this kind of environment.

Esquin narrowed his eyes as he stared at the dark clouds. Even, he, a powerful god didn’t know why this was happening. He only knows one thing.

“The Imperium is crying…”

He muttered to himself before he closed his eyes. Although he didn’t expect this phenomenon, he still wouldn’t change his plan because of this. Everything would proceed according to his desire.

“The entire world is crying…”

Athena, Ares, and Hermes stopped talking as they stared at the dark clouds in the sky. Their expression turned serious as lightning reflected in their eyes.

“This is a bad omen…”

All the gods, demon gods, and monster lords felt it. They were the most sensitive beings and slight fluctuations in the air would be felt by them. It was natural for them to know this but they didn’t know the reason why.

The reason why Imperium was in grief and pain.

The Combat Lumbs stopped functioning as their figures slowly turned into dust. They had to do something about this. In just a short amount of time, all sorts of strange phenomena occurred around the world. For some people it was good and for some, it wasn’t.

This event lasted for an entire day before the dark clouds disappeared.

Souta still had a frown on his face. His body was light and he felt rejuvenated. His energy was turning wild and he could hardly control it.

He had grown stronger. There was no doubt about it.

He couldn’t help but glance at the system and saw that he leveled up. He didn’t even know how or why but his level had increased. He wasn’t imagining it.

This feeling was the same back then when he was trying to find the undead but it was also different at the same time. At that time, it feels more natural but now, it feels forced.

‘Plus… There’s this feeling… It feels like I can do this.’

Souta grasped his chest tightly with his hand. This was strange yet beneficial to the point that it made him suspicious. He asked Saya what she knew about the weird phenomenon.

‘I only know one thing… It’s Imperium.’ Saya answered.

“The Imperium…” Souta narrowed his eyes as he stared at the sky. He recalled the moment he looked at Imperium from outer space.

At that time, a huge eye opened and stared back at him. He got overwhelmed instantly which made his eyes suffer intense pain.

Although he had knowledge of the game, it wasn’t everything. He didn’t know everything about this world.

Sigh…

Souta breathed deeply. He knew that he wouldn’t find an answer right away. At the very least, this power that strengthened him seems to not affect his body too much. He just couldn’t control his energy at the moment due to the sudden increase in power.

“For now, I should stabilize my power and train my [Divine Light Circulation] to Second Stage or Third Stage before going to the Murder Society.”

Souta actually hasn’t met anyone that could make him go all-out the entire time he was staying in Hall Plains. The last time he fought seriously was against Gerxuzs and the Red Matter Association. This showed that he was getting stronger and slowly reaching the top. But it’s better to be safe than to suffer an accident. That’s why he would train his light element first before going to the Murder Society.

Also, from the information that he heard from the two elders of Mince Hand, it seems that someone kidnapped Dream and destroyed the Great Chan Hall. If that’s the case then the same thing would probably happen to Princess Yaniesvyl. After all, he saw them together at the Poison Swamp.

He would also go there and wait for the kidnappers to appear. He had a feeling that the kidnappers were related to the mysterious man that he killed in Poison Swamp.

…

Somewhere in a dark space…

A man with black hair was seating on a chair with his chin resting on his palm. His face was devoid of the smile that was always there. Right now, annoyance and shock painted his face.

A pink-haired man was standing behind him with a deep frown. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, “A variable has died. The Imperium mourned for the child’s death and struck a disaster across the world.”

“It’s pretty much impossible for variables to die before they grow but this happens…” The pink-haired man added.

The variables were Imperium’s future strongest force. They shouldn’t have died as their destiny lies in the future. Yet, something unbelievable happened. The Imperium’s Blessed Child had died defying the destiny.

“Even I don’t know how it happened… I have the power of destiny and fate so I can protect and manipulate their path to reach their peak faster. No, I should be the opposite. I can only manipulate the fate and destiny of those around them. The variables will not die until they grow stronger as the power of the Imperium around them is stronger. No matter how hard the challenges they face, they will survive in one way or another. They are the main characters of this world. Until they fulfill their destiny, they won’t die.” The man with a black hair paused before he continued, “Yet, someone broke through the power of Imperium along with destiny and fate and it led to the death of a variable.”

“Does this mean that the other variables will face the same thing? They could die right now even before achieving the realm of the gods.” The pink-haired man asked with his brows knitted tightly.

“The variables aren’t safe right now. I’ll change the plan regarding the variables in Vulcan’s Ring Continent and Ruin Desolate Land.” The man with a black hair opened his palm but shock filled his face. “This is too soon. The destinies and fates were shattered. Any person could die even if their destined death haven’t come. I expected this to happen but it’s too soon. The foreign energy is corroding the boundary.”

“The plan will proceed, right?” The pink-haired man asked.

“Yes, but everything is up to them now. I just hope that they will choose what I prepared for them. Variables, don’t disappoint me.”
