Child of Destiny

Chapter 1142 The Tides Are Surging

...

Leonard took a deep breath and went back to closing his eyes to consolidate all the knowledge about the inheritance that he just got and his bloodline that was just awakened. He was amazed about the two, particularly the power of the bloodline that he was unaware of up until now.

He got a rough idea that he had a strong bloodline albeit it being dormant. He learned about it after being experimented on by a mad scientist before. He then underwent special training under his master to slowly learn how to utilize its power correctly while also keeping an eye on his surging and raging emotions when using that power.

He was even training the 'Blood Sutra' that was perfect for utilizing that kind of bloodline powers, which also had the ability to slowly awaken the slumbering bloodline.

But right now, after undergoing the bloodline awakening, a flood of information regarding his bloodline was continuously flowing inside his head. He needed a few moments to properly digest everything.

On top of that, there was also other information about the inheritance of the Thunder Lord that he just received. And with such a large pool of information, it would take him quite a lot of time before he could properly digest everything.

Fortunately, this room within the simple-looking hut seemed to be helping him at digesting everything. With its help, it would only take him a full day or two before he was able to absorb and digest everything.

Given that, he did not dilly-dally and quickly went back to meditate while consolidating all of the knowledge and information.

While Leonard and Shin were inside the independent space that was created by the Head Priestess, an unseen ripple suddenly spread in every direction.

Aside from a few individuals with keen senses or overwhelming power, no other people were able to sense that invisible ripple.

"Huh?"

David, who was the one with the keenest Spiritual Sense among everyone that was present, could not help but pause and turn toward the source of the invisible ripple that was spreading at unimaginable speed.

In the distance, he saw a brilliant pillar of light piercing heaven. If not for the special features of his Enlightened Eyes, then he would not be able to see that pillar of light.

Squinting his eyes, he observed the pillar of light for a few more moments while warding off the attacks of Alexander Leon, who was now nothing but a mutated monster puppet. "The pillar of acceptance? It looks like those two succeed. And the complimentary rate has also reached perfection."

A few moments later, his lips curved into a smile as he muttered. "Finding the perfect host sure is different than the rest."

He then paused and struck Alexander with his golden staff, forcing the latter to move back. There was a serious look on his face as he suddenly muttered. "It is time to wrap this up."

...

On the other side of the mountain range, in front of the entrance of the underground laboratory, Nathan was standing on guard alongside his subordinates.

After restricting the projection of the Thunder Lord, Nathan quickly headed to this place after receiving the information from John.

He quickly ordered his people to seal the perimeter while standing in front of the entrance. He prevented everyone from entering as he could feel a powerful presence hiding deep within the base. And from what he could feel. The power that the other party had seemed to be no weaker than an absolute expert of the Domain Realm.

He might be confident with his strength, but even he could feel an overwhelming threat coming from the opposing side. Hence, he had to be extra careful.

"It is not Butcher, nor Coffin Maker either. Who is it?" muttered Nathan as he observed what was inside through his special ocular skill.

But before he could spy deeper, a strong ripple suddenly swept through the entire mountain range. It was a ripple that could neither be sensed nor seen, so no one was able to feel it in their forces other than him.

He quickly turned toward the direction where the ripple was coming from and saw a towering pillar that was piercing the sky. And given his knowledge and experience, he was able to quickly recognize what it was within an instant.

"The pillar of acceptance? Someone was able to get the acknowledgment of the Thunder Lord's inheritance?" his brows raised slightly as even he did not expect this to happen.

But quickly after that, his face eased up a little as he found that this should be better than giving the inheritance to the greedy people from the World Government or those lunatics from the underworld organization.I think you should take a look at

He wanted to investigate who was the fortunate one who accepted the inheritance, but he was not in a possible to do it right now.

"Maybe that disciple of Evangeline has done something once again," he muttered to himself before putting this matter at the back of his head temporarily before turning his attention back to the entrance of the underground laboratory.

He had to take care of this problem for now before thinking about anything else. He would be leaving the other side to David for now before asking about the results later.

...

On the shore at the edge of the mountain range, Butcher was walking toward a speed boat ducked nearby. He was still carrying the body of Old Man Roger between his arms as he moved.

All the tasks that were given to him by his boss, Snake Head, had already been completed. What he needed to do right now was to go back to their main base and bring this successful subject that the Professor had completed.

Even though he pitied the Professor, he still had to make sure to complete all the tasks given to him if he wanted to be spared. Even if he was one of the most powerful people within the organization, he was still nothing but a pawn in front of the higher-ups. He still valued his life, so he just followed the plan and executed it without question.

He also did not dwell much on all his missions and did not ask questions to satisfy his curiosity.

He did not want to end up like the Professor. Learning and knowing a lot before being disposed to shut his mouth for good.

In this mission, he only had to do what he asked to do while leaving the rest of the operation to Coffin Maker.

He just threw the unconscious Old Man Roger on the speed boat and was about to push the boat toward the sea when a sudden ripple swept through him.

"Huh?"

He paused and turned around before seeing a towering pillar coming from the center of the mountain range. He raised his brows as he quickly understood what was going on. "So, that is what a pillar of acceptance looks like, huh?"

One of his side tasks was to secure the inheritance that was sealed in this place, but it was not his main priority, so he did not put much effort into securing it.

His main task was to retrieve all the data that the Professor had gathered and bring the completed vessel back to the base. Aside from those two, everything else was irrelevant.

Though, it would be a good bonus if he managed to secure the inheritance as well. But unfortunately, he did not have the additional vessel to host that power.

All the organizations around the world were doing their best to find and secure these ancient inheritances to improve their strengths. There were also those other forms of resources and secret places that could only be heard from the legends.

Unfortunately, clues about them were very scarce.

And in all of Butcher's experiences, this was the first time he saw a pillar of acceptance this huge.

"Heh! Having a true vessel and a perfect host sure is different from forcing the inherence to acknowledge someone," Butcher snorted as he remembered the instances when the organization where they were forcefully snatching the inheritances and forcing them toward an unwanted vessel.

He then turned around and continued pushing the speed boat away. He did not dare to linger around here as he was afraid that Nathan would find him. He was about to complete his mission, so it would be a great pity if he suddenly got caught when he was about to succeed.

Even though he wanted to also get that inheritance, he was already too late since the destined host had already been acknowledged. At most, he could only report to his superiors and tell them that another ancient inheritance was already been secured.

This news would surely create some ripple in the underworld and would force those organizations to increase their pace, especially now that the opposing side secured yet another ancient inheritance.

This might also start yet another conflict between all the organizations around the world, especially the ones that were keeping an eye on these matters.
