Chapter 452: Orichalcum Pulse!
In the sky, the cloud layers were continuously being pierced apart by a streak of flowing light.
However, when this streak entered the cloud mass it appeared as one color, and when it emerged, it transformed into another.
From time to time, some of the clouds were suffused by the energy of the flowing light—at one moment turning into blazing fire clouds that fell downward, at another erupting into flashes of lightning and rolling thunder—frightening a group of wingdrakes that had been cheering due to the activity of the earth veins, nearly causing them to tumble from the sky.
Logan tried to restrain the excitement in his heart, but the occasional bursts of increased speed, along with his deliberate weaving through the clouds and the faint arcs of electricity he felt as the clouds brushed against his scales, all unmistakably proclaimed that his mood at this moment was truly excellent.
Although he had long suspected that, given his current level of strength, the traits he drew would no longer be those "ordinary" versions, he had never expected that this time the interface would deliver him such an enormous surprise.
[Trait: Orichalcum Pulse]
[Orichalcum Pulse: It stirs the ancient genes within the body that seem not to belong to this world. Through a unique energy pulse, it condenses one’s own tremendous power, granting absolute control over atmospheric phenomena!]
Stirring atmospheric phenomena could be ignored for the moment—after all, when Logan had previously driven Sunlight at full power, he had likewise been able to influence the entirety of the New World.
The truly crucial part was that line: condensing one’s own tremendous power!!
After completing his metamorphosis, the things Logan had been doing all along—aside from strengthening his control over Terastal Transformation energy—were the development of some new moves centered around Terastal Transformation energy, as well as the optimization of older moves.
But after all this time, Logan had always remained in a state of "minor skirmishing."
Don’t be fooled by how many moves he had developed, or even the fact that he had mastered the conversion of elemental energy—aside from a move like triggering Terastal Transformation crystallization, he actually no longer had any signature, lethal finishing move!
Yes! None!
Even his laser breath was merely an enhanced version under Sheer Force—its power was tremendous, but in battles of the same level, it could not achieve a one-strike, decisive effect.
Compared to Nakarkos’s Genesis, Kulve Taroth’s ultra-high-temperature heat wave, and even Dalamadur’s meteorfall from the heavens, Logan truly had no highlights at all.
A Logan like this—even if he had countless minor moves—wasn’t he just another Xeno’jiiva?
But did that mean he didn’t want to develop such moves?
No!
He simply lacked the ability to do so.
After his metamorphosis, Terastal Transformation energy was strong, yet it consistently gave him the feeling that it could not be condensed—his energy output efficiency was insufficient.
Any signature, match-deciding move was without exception a product of bioenergy after it had been condensed.
But now! Under the effect of Orichalcum Pulse, everything was resolved!
With each successive beat of his heart, accompanied by a special energy pulse, it gradually wove together a complex and delicate "energy core."
The chaotic Terastal energy wandering within his body, under the guidance of this energy core, began to become orderly. Even the Dragon-element energy, which had originally been difficult to convert, became extremely easy to control under this kind of ordered energy.
As for this trait, the only drawback he had seen so far was probably that when Logan used the energy core to drive his own energy, the energy would be dyed a crimson color. At the same time, his physical energy efficiency would surge dramatically and forcibly dispel the existing atmospheric phenomena, turning everything into "clear skies"!
In short, at present Logan was satisfied with this new trait to the utmost—truly worthy of being the trait of a Legendary Paradox Pokémon.
However, Logan always felt that using his own heart as the primary energy core of his body, and beginning to construct his internal energy circuits around it, somehow felt extremely familiar.
Washed by joy, the current Logan only wanted to do two things.
First: go home!
He had gone a full two-plus months without being close with his wife! After all, a figurine was not a real dragon—aside from being suitable as a pillow, it was completely useless for anything else!
Moreover, with his own strength about to usher in another new metamorphosis, Logan’s heart was filled with the urge to share everything with Aki!
Second: find a safe, quiet place he could trust, and wait for the complete construction of the energy core to finish.
It was rare for him to be driven once more by instinct, making such a choice at such a critical moment—and the Ancient Tree was precisely the place in this world that best matched the needs deep in Logan’s heart.
That was the biological settlement fortress he had built for himself over the past several decades. As long as he was upon the Ancient Tree, he believed that before all living creatures were wiped out, absolutely no enemy would be able to calmly walk up to him!
Carrying such feelings, amid one sonic boom after another, in less than half a day Logan returned to his loyal Ancient Tree!
Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the Elder’s Recess for too long, or perhaps because experiencing the subjugation battle against Xeno’jiiva had made him understand that, as a Disaster-level Elder Dragon aligned with the side of nature, he no longer needed to hide his aura as cautiously as he had in the past.
In this world, aside from an extremely small minority, it was already generous enough that he did not go looking for trouble with other creatures—there truly were not many beings who would dare to actively seek trouble with him after sensing his aura.
Even for troublemakers like Nergigante, it would at least have to be Ruiner Nergigante—and that was assuming the New World even had another new Ruiner Nergigante to begin with.
A dense, ancient aura swept across the entire Ancient Tree. Aside from those Jagras that were sneaking around the lower layers of the tree, trying to see what food scraps the cat kitchen had processed today, all other creatures, the moment they sensed Logan’s aura, erupted into cheers.
Their god had finally returned!
When the god arrived, there was a sense of security!
When the god arrived, there was stability of hearts!
One Radiant Fire Wyvern after another, accompanied by large numbers of Radiant Crystal Butterfly, flew out from the Ancient Tree, transforming into something like a tornado as they conveyed the highest reverence to the returning Logan.
"Roar~"
The low sound from his throat carried into the air, and the previously noisy Ancient Tree instantly fell silent. One creature after another stared with bright, shining eyes, watching Logan’s glittering, colossal figure fly into the uppermost layers of the Ancient Tree and vanish from sight—only then did they erupt into cheers once more.
Although they did not know where their god had gone during this period of time, all the cats were certain of one thing: the Boss Fire Wyvern had absolutely—absolutely—gone off to do some great deed to save the New World!
As for the result... he had returned completely unscathed, so it was obvious that the problem had been solved!
No one understood their Boss Fire Wyvern better than they did!
In the middle layers of the Ancient Tree, little Loren gazed enviously at the scene of his father’s return. Compared to the way he himself had led the Radiant Fire Wyverns back from the Rotten Vale, it was a completely different situation!
At this moment, his goal seemed to have gained one more addition!
Within the palace nest, just as always, Aki was squatting at the entrance of the nest, blinking her beautiful deep-blue eyes as she quietly waited for Logan’s return. When she caught sight of that streak of blue flowing light, she was just about to stand up.
But Logan’s flying speed did not slow in the slightest. Before Aki’s widened eyes, he directly pounced and knocked her over, carrying her straight into the nest. Then, amid the sound of scales rubbing together, they nuzzled each other’s necks, feeling the warmth of one another that they had not felt for so long.
The empty, lonely hearts left by their separation during this period slowly yet firmly filled once more within such a warm and gentle atmosphere~~
