The three people sat down to begin the feast, while a continuous supply of dishes were served onto the table.
Having a meal in such a simple environment was a first for Garen.
Cold wind gushed inside from the cave opening, and the dishes that were just served quickly became cold.
They did not hold back, and began to place the dishes on the warming jar in front of them, using the chemical reaction of the warming stones to reheat the food. It was as if everyone had their own personal hot pot.
The Red Flying Dolphin flesh was very soft, but also chewy at times and tasted like beef, while its surface was soaked in a dark red sauce, making it taste slightly sweet.
Garen ate a few pieces, then took some fresh vegetables, before putting his knife and fork down.
One of the Totem Users who stood on the side, now came forward with the Glittering Water they had collected.
A thumb-sized crystal bottle was placed in front of Garen, and the clear bottle was filled with sticky purple-red liquid, faintly reflecting a silver sand like glow.
Garen picked it up and shook it, while the liquid inside flowed slowly, but did not make any shaking noises.

Currently, how many powers around us are also seeking the Glittering Water?
he asked immediately.

Most of the powers are out of the picture already.
Wukang smiled, before he took a cup of blue alcohol and sipped it.
If I had yet to secure the situation even after Palace Master’s arrival, wouldn’t that just mean that I’m useless?

Garen was struck with a bout of sudden realization, when he remembered Wukang’ terrifying battle record.
During the conflict on a cloudy day, he had single-handedly killed more than ten professionals, and although they were all inferior Form 4’s, without any specialized Ultimate Techniques or strong Totem abilities, this still showed that he was truly amazing.
More than half of Kovitan’s Form 4 citizens had been massacred instantly, and many powers would reorganize their strategies after this massacre.
The citizen Totem Users were not strong in the beginning, but now for some reason, it seemed as if Wukang was enough to repress all the citizen Totem Users.

Actually, Palace Master had arrived at a great time, because I’ve just received some news here.
The smile on Wukang’ face disappeared while his true expression came through.
Daniela has now reached its key moment, as the war between Obscuro Society, the Cthuhuism Society, and the Daniela Royal Family has already turned fiery. For now, they don’t have the time or energy to focus on us or Ender over here.


What do you mean?
Garen picked up his glass and sipped it slowly.

I have friends in Daniela, and they pass messages for me, so if Palace Master wants to occupy the Glittering Pond, now is the best chance,
Wukang nodded and said.
Garen muttered and hesitated to himself.
Frankly, he was clearer about the situation in Daniela compared to Wukang, as the Geometry Service of the Three Departments was currently standing behind the King of Daniela, contesting with Obscuro Society and Cthulhuism Society that were getting stronger each day.
The Geometry Service was facing off with Obscuro Society, while the King of Daniela went up against Cthulhuism Society, and this was a violent, bloody Totem war. According to the original historical events, the death toll caused by this war could not be estimated as well. Countless inheritances, research results, and technical information were all destroyed in this major war.
As for the other two remaining main departments, they were currently containing the monster nests that were reproducing rapidly, their professional collectors were continuously raiding these monster’s nests, and were soon completely dragged into the mud.
When the Nest Leaders found out about the underground entryway, the balanced energies underground would surely be disrupted. The underground Elder Parliament was actually barely balanced, and the endless sea of monsters would surely be a large consumption towards the Elders.
Thus, the professionals of the two remaining main organizations were probably at the end of the world, refusing to budge with the monsters.

We must seize the Glittering Ponds… It just depends on the timing,
said Garen softly.
We want to occupy Glittering Pond, but our strength is still insufficient. The locations of the Glittering Ponds are too divided.


There are three Glittering Ponds that don’t belong to any country. However, there are too many nests in its surrounding areas. If we cleanse them carefully, there should be no problem,
said Wukang quietly.
As long as we’re careful, there are two Glittering Ponds nearby that we can occupy.


In this aspect, Wukang, please arrange the necessary manpower,
Garen nodded.
It’s not convenient for me to show myself, so you can request for extra support directly from the palace.


I won’t need that many Totem Users, only Totem Users who are able to support Tactical Formations will be sufficient,
replied Wukang in a slightly arrogant tone. During this Great War, the Form 4’s in their surroundings had almost been cleansed completely without the use of high-end threats, as those were only used as preparations for surprise attacks by ignorant monsters that only lived by basic instincts.

How long do you need to complete it?


Within half a month’s time. There should be no problem.


I’ll live here temporarily as well then,
Garen nodded.
Skyharp stood on the side and opened her mouth to speak.
You didn’t come all the way here just for this right?

Garen smiled but did not answer. Other than coming here to look at the Glittering Pond and Glittering Water for himself, he still had other plans, or perhaps, things he was awaiting.
The Cthulhu King would soon realize the importance of the Glittering Water to him, and by then, he would definitely come for his head.
Although Garen himself was standing on the same stage as the Three Departments and the Royal Alliance, the ones that the Cthulhu King was opposing was not just the King of Daniela, because compared to Daniela, they disliked Obscuro Society just as much.
Garen would just wait, wait for the Cthulhu King’s invitation.
All the powers that occupied Glittering Ponds would receive the Cthulhu King’s invitations to exchange Glittering Water with them.
As long as his Glittering Water was sufficient, Garen would be able to exchange it for Cthulhu’s Origin from the Cthulhu King. That was one of the core items of the Cthulhu’s strength.
Cthulhu’s Origin was an item that Garen absolutely had to obtain, and according to original historical events, Cthulhuism Society had exchanged its one and only Cthulhu’s Origin with Obscuro Society. For everyone else, it could increase Totem potential, and upgrade the effect of evolution levels.
As for Garen himself, although he did not know its uses, he absolutely could not let Obscuro Society obtain it, because when Obscuro Society’s two main Marshalls obtained the Cthulhu’s Origin, their powers increased greatly, and they achieved terrifying peak levels.
Meanwhile, after the chaos at Daniela, Hellgate had finally awakened. Then, the situation regarding the war was completely reversed.
The main opponent of the Royal Alliance had changed from monsters to the Obscuro Society. Hellgate would use his temporary strong powers to launch a surprise attack on the Three Departments. After the siege, he would finally be established as the strongest in the world.
Since it was effective against the Obscuro Society Marshalls, it would definitely be effective against Garen as well.
Therefore, they definitely could not lose the Glittering Water. Hellgate would awaken soon, reducing the time Garen had left.
After their meal, Garen stayed beside Glittering Pond.
While researching the Glittering Water, he waited for the arrival of the Cthulhu King quietly.
As time passed, he gained new knowledge about the special abilities of the Glittering Water as well.

Inside the pitch black stone cave.
Garen sat cross-legged while the sticky purple-red liquid wrapped around him like a snake, swirling around his body in a slow dance.
In the darkness, this liquid gave off a faint purple-red glow, and was unusually beautiful.
Surrounding Garen’s body were sharp, bright red crystal spikes, and all these spikes extended out of the walls towards Garen. The spikes glowed with faint white light, and reflected off the spikes onto the walls of the stone cave.
After an unknown amount of time, Garen opened his eyes slowly.
He looked at the purple-red Glittering Water that danced around him.

Is the analyzed conclusion ready, Saiah,
he said softly.

The analysed conclusion is ready. Would you like to proceed with second level deepening?
A cold male voice echoed throughout the stone cave. This was the latest Forger system that had been installed recently, the Saiah System, which was an intelligent management system that Master Calingan had hurriedly installed. It was equivalent to intelligent computer technology, and could manage the entire Glittering Pond’s defense and internal systems.
Almost two weeks had passed since Garen’s arrival here. He would constantly practice his Secret Techniques every day, and at the same time, he would research the contents and uses of the Glittering Water. After undergoing various experiments, the contents and uses of today’s Glittering Water would reach a conclusion soon.

Send out the report then,
Garen sat on the floor and instructed softly.

Acknowledged, please hold on…
Saiah paused, and soon, countless white halos moved along the spikes, and gathered towards Garen’s direction.
Shh shh shh…
More than ten sharp points of the red crystals released white light at the same time.
The white light expanded instantly, and formed translucent screens of various sizes. Rows of experimental statistics and possible analyses and conclusions were quickly displayed on top.
Garen’s eyes continuously scanned across the experimental statistics and conclusions. While his brain processed all of this quickly, as he analyzed and calculated the results once again.
After an unknown amount of time, the ten screen of various sizes in his surroundings shrunk and disappeared, while Garen let out a faint sigh of relief. The probable conclusions were already out.

Extremely strong poisons that can withstand corrosion, displaying strong bone regenerative abilities. Glittering Water…
Looking at the purple-red liquid that danced around him, Garen nodded faintly.
After dilution, it could be used to create natural wound healing medications, and if we sold it, the effect would be pretty good.

Suddenly, the red dot on the left side of Garen’s forehead darkened again.
But a look of joy appeared on Garen’s face suddenly.
While he closed his eyes and experienced the dark spaces of his mind, the Nine-Headed Hydra that was occupying the space inside currently only had six heads left, and looked unenthusiastic.
Three hydra heads had already been consecutively refined by his Secret Techniques, and even though the Nine-Headed Hydra had strong Life Force, it would still feel abnormally weak.
Furthermore, the extreme rejection reaction that he faced from the Nine-Headed Hydra made it impossible for Garen not to pause the transfer road map of his Secret Techniques.
He looked at his Attribute Pane carefully, and noticed another breakthrough in his Secret Technique Pane.
‘Black Water True Technique (Originally the Myriad Water Jasper Technique): Seventh level (Seven levels in total). Powerful control over all matter in liquid form.
Poisons have been strengthened by three levels, regeneration abilities have been strengthened by three levels.’
Once his Secret Techniques had absorbed the Nine-Headed Hydra completely, Garen would properly enter Form 5 then.
If the situation allowed it, Garen’s best method currently would be to find a place to hide, so that he could allow the Nine-Headed Hydra to fuse into his Secret Techniques completely, and then only come out. Unfortunately, Obscuro Society’s development would not give him so much time.
He murdered so many of Obscuro Society’s people, and destroyed so many of their bases, so obviously both sides would be as incompatible as fire and water. Once the Royal Alliance collapsed, he would be implicated as well.
Before Hellgate awakens, he needed to place his feet firmly on the ground, and even if he was unable to successfully defeat Hellgate, he had to protect himself, and the safety of those around him at least.
According to original historical events, Hellgate was killed by grown up Beckstone and others, and obviously this happened after the Great War between the Royal Alliance, the Three Heroes, and Hellgate, and the Three Heroes had been injured with serious wounds by Hellgate, and finally, Beckstone, who had been neglected this whole time, would step forward for the last blow.
Stone would also lose all of his powers here. It was the price he had to pay in exchange for the final battle.
