Chapter 262 - Earth
Chapter 262 – Earth
After going through the chaos portal spawned by Reikent, They arrived in an expanse of dark space.
It didn't take long for them to find Athan's home planet because this lower axiom universe only contained three life planets, and Reikent quickly sensed them.
" There seems to be some problem with one of the life planets. Let's hope it's not your home planet. " Reikent spoke with a frown before he sighed.
Seeing Reikent's expression and his voice, Athan was having a bad feeling, " Why? Did something happen to one of the life planets? "
" Mhmm…Let's go there and check. " Reikent nodded and then both of them disappeared before arriving at another place. From space, They could see a half-brown, half-blue planet. ( A/N:- It was never really our earth but different earth which had 50% water bodies and 50% land :v )
Seeing the planet, Athan sighed a relief. From the outside, It looked good.
" I can't see any problem with the planet. " Athan looked at Reikent and asked with doubt.
" You should sense it with your soul sense. Only then will you see what's wrong with it. Anyway, Let's just go there and you will know. "
Both of them entered the planet, and Athan finally noticed something when he landed in the country, he lived. He could feel the energy in the atmosphere and muttered, " There wasn't any kind of energy on this planet when I lived here. What's going on? "
" Well, I can feel the residual presence of someone powerful here…As strong as the leaders of our Organization. It seems it has only been a few years at most since whoever was here left and returned to chaosverse. "
" Do you mean that the powerhouse that was here previously was from the Chaosverse? "
Reikent nodded and couldn't help but wonder in doubt, " Truly strange. Why would someone that powerful come here? "
Athan felt a bit anxious, and he hurriedly flew down and moved towards a place where his uncle and aunt lived.
After coming down, Athan only saw one thing, chaos. People were fighting recklessly, and death occurred everywhere.
People were hurling elemental energy attacks at each other like water ball, fireball, lightning strike, etc., with confusion and madness apparent in their eyes. It seems they slowly lost their reasonings over time.
Reikent frowned and shook his head while thinking, ' How reckless. It looks like whoever came here put this world in chaos and affected the mental state of every living being for fun before leaving. He or she purposefully affected the core of this planet improperly, such that people would get random elemental abilities without proper setup. '
Reikent stopped following Athan and closed his eyes before a bit of pressure left his body, and right at that instant, Every living being on the planet became unconscious.
After that, He opened his eyes and muttered, " Hopefully, wise humans would gather and manage everything and build a proper world structure after waking up. From now on, They will have to live in this messy world where people would randomly awaken elemental abilities. "
He then spread out his senses and saw Athan with a lost look in his eyes in front of a torn-down house.
He teleported beside Athan and looked at him before shaking his head, " Athan…"
" I'm fine. " Athan suddenly spoke and interrupted Reikent as he regained the focus in his eyes.
He then walked into the torn-down house and searched with his soul sense before finding a broken frame with a photo in it.
At this time, Reikent asked, " Did you search the whole planet with your soul sense? If you didn't, then check. After all, every person and animal had an abnormal mental state, so they might also have been affected and left their home. "
Athan closed his eyes and enveloped the planet in his soul sense. After a minute, he shook his head and opened his eyes. His cold eyes hid sadness behind it as his equally hard voice rang out, " Only eight hundred million humans are alive, and I didn't find…my family among them. "
There was a silence for a minute before Athan himself broke it, " Let's go back. " There was nothing here for him to do. Even the people who tortured him to death when he was living here weren't alive.
Hearing that Athan wanted to go back already, Reikent nodded as it was for the best of Athan.
…
Clear Lake region…
There was a vast round lake with many water life forms living inside and beautiful plants of different types. The lake was several tens of miles radius.
The lake also had many big trees, and there were even open wooden boxes where people could be seen enjoying while eating and drinking.
This lake was the reason why this region was named the Clear Lake region. This region and surrounding regions were managed by an organization known as Raven Consortium.
Raven Consortium had built a business and enjoyment area on this vast and beautiful lake.
In one of the wooden boxes, Two people were sitting inside while drinking and laughing.
They were none other than Gerian Lemeanor, Qerin's father and clan head of the Bukince clan, who was going to be the father-in-law of Qerin.
" Hahaha. Gerian, you lucky bastard. Congratulations! Your daughter passed the entry test of Great Bridgade Palace. If she can successfully become a member of that Palace, My clan would be lucky to have her as our daughter-in-law. "
Gerian naturally smiled like he was very happy for her daughter and said, " She just passed the entry test. It will depend on her ability and how she performed in the next twenty years in their program if she wants to become a member of Great Brigade Palace. "
" Indeed. Anyway, The Great Bridgade Palace did drop off a bomb saying that they were holding a training course and wanted to nurture talented seedings. Sigh…It is my first time seeing their powerful means and recruitment, and unfortunately for me, it's only for Ascenders. Otherwise, My sons could also give a shot in their entry test. "
The clan head of Buckince clan shook his head as he expressed his disappointment for a few seconds before he smiled, " Anyway, When Your daughter comes back after twenty, We can tie knots of our kids. "
" Definitely. ", Gerian smiled and gulped the glass of wine.
' Daughter. You have twenty years. ' Internally, Gerian sighed. He hoped that his daughter could catch the eye of a powerhouse of Great Brigade Palace and become a disciple of that powerhouse. With such a backing, She just needs to say it, and her betrothment will lose meaning.
