Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1134 581: A Thread of Aftershock

Asphyxiation.

Even though the typhoon was imminent, the feeling at this moment was an oppressive heaviness that made it hard to breathe.

Too much moisture lingered in the air, with every breath feeling dense and viscous, hard to inhale, impossible to exhale.

And when the first raindrop, as large as a bean, fell from the sky, the coolness did not arrive as promised; the heavy rain poured down densely, covering everything in an instant.

It was as if the entire world had been submerged by a flood.

Everything twisted.

Amidst the thunder, a fierce wind rose, lifting countless raindrops, dust, and even insignificant twigs, leaves, and rubble... The choking air now forced itself into the lungs.

Just standing amidst the torrential rain brought the fear of drowning in the deep sea.

The storm consumed everything.

Under the gradually escalating wind, everything swayed, restless.

Even buildings rooted to the ground swayed slightly, subtly vibrating, emitting creaking sounds.

In a brightly lit city district, the lights of Coastal Industry dimmed.

The power had long been cut off. Unlike other companies, the ramshackle industry, now just a lighter factory, had no business. After starting the generator, it maintained air conditioning and lighting. The few remaining staff gathered around the desk to start a mini hotpot session.

Outside the material enhances hardened glass, the constant patter was heard. Raindrops and debris clattered against it, driven by the stormy wind.

In the frantic airflow, the entire building swayed ever so slightly, bringing a fleeting sensation.

Unlike others' calmness, only Yan Fei was anxious, his gaze repeatedly drawn to the window... All the building's renovations and maintenance, including material enhancement and waterproofing were his doing. Any mistake would cost him dearly.

Food was in front of him, but he couldn't swallow.

"Just cook it for a few seconds, everyone hurry up and grab some."

Ji Jue calmly extended his chopsticks: "Eat more, Fei, you'll be busy later."

"Huh? Oh!"

Yan Fei was sluggish, then seemed to understand him, sweating profusely, his hand trembled as he extended his chopsticks: Trouble, it seems like cost-cutting was caught.

"However..."

Yan Chang obediently sat in his place, taking a few sips and drinking ice water. At this moment, he aptly changed the topic for his brother.

"...Why is it called White Deer?"

He looked curiously at the storm outside: "Could it be a coincidence?"

"Not necessarily."

Ji Jue shook his head, sighed: "The details I don't know, but... since it was named Superior, the depths of water behind this might not be ordinary."

Bam!

With a dull thud, a vulture was blown by the wind and hit the window, as if it had struck Yan Fei's heart, making the youth's heart race.

Luckily, it didn't break the window, only leaving a blood mark before falling. If it had cracked, given Mr. Ji's habits, he might have been hung out there to patch the leak...

Yet it is indeed Ashes.

He immediately sensed something eerie.

Something was wrong!

The blood washed away quickly under the typhoon and rain, leaving only a residual stain.

But in this weather, how could a vulture appear? In a typhoon? And even if it hit the glass, near death, its claws still held half of a writhing snake.

Hunting?

Were they that hungry? To choose this time?

He instinctively looked at his mentor.

"Sir..."

"Hmm, something's wrong."

Ji Jue nodded, turned back, and looked at the little cow and horse sleeping in its metal kennel in the office corner, its wolf-like body hunched, gaps showing a flickering blood light, unusually active.

Pan Ying.

Pan Ying's resonance.

At this moment, in the entirety of Tower City, no, in all of Central Earth, a grand aura faintly rose.

Meanwhile, with the storm's arrival, his heart rate subtly increased, Zanlu excited, sensing disaster.

But in such abnormal weather, the activity of entropy is natural. What's with the surge?

Even Ashes seemed to have become active, undergoing changes, Ji Jue lowered his gaze, the workshop in the Doomsday Special Train gently operating, collecting data.

Through comparison with Punabantu and New Spring, the activity level of Ashes in Central Earth indirectly boosted the yield rate of alchemy creations, after measuring and comparing two batches of creations, calculations concluded—a roughly 0.0007% improvement.

And the White Deer... what's that about?

At this moment, in the wilderness of Central Earth, perhaps beasts have also begun to grow active and excited? Instinctively wanting to hunt and develop, mate and reproduce...

Could there be a change among Superior?

At Ji Jue's level and height, it's hard to perceive. It's not even a majestic presence, just ripples from a giant's shift.

Like observing the changes of stars in outer space.

Perhaps collisions and intertwinings appeared among the grand tapestries, and when the faint afterglow traversed the distance, the remaining wave was just a flicker in the storm.

Without a doubt, the presence of White Deer appeared within this storm.
