Chapter 869 371: To Be King_3
A match made in heaven.
After feeling the changes within himself, Alka opened his eyes. Looking at the completely constructed Dream Realm, he slowly rose from the throne.
Huan also stood up along with him.
At this moment, the Shadowy Figure, who had left earlier, unknowingly appeared beside Alka again.
He looked at Alka and slowly asked, "Your Majesty, it seems the authority of the Dream Realm within you is severely suppressed..."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, then waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, I have it under control. It won't be long before this issue is resolved."
Upon hearing this, the Shadowy Figure nodded with relief and took his leave.
Alka, of course, understood that what was meant by suppression was the rejection from the Star River against the two treasures he possessed.
The rejection from the Star River prevented Alka from using the treasures simultaneously, evidently suppressing Alka's path forward.
Moreover, when he completely becomes a king and absorbs the power of the Divine Fragment.
The suppression from the Star River also affects him personally.
However, there is indeed no better method than the Star River right now. In reality, he still lacks a powerful decisive attack.
So temporarily using it, as the Holy Mother mentioned, will do no harm.
This also means Alka cannot delve too deeply into understanding and developing the Star River treasure for now.
But it won't be long now.
Chadite and his group are nearing the limit of the Third Stage, and within a few months, they should gradually advance to the Fourth Stage.
By then, Alka will be able to hand the Star River over to someone more suited among them for use.
If no one is suitable, then that would be the most troublesome.
At that point, choices will have to be made.
...
Currently, in the Giant Wood Habitat.
In this chaotic area, fish and dragons mingle, and evil spirits run rampant.
On a silent and desolate island.
Various small vessels and boats were moored around the island.
The decorations on these boats made it clear that none of the people aboard were normal.
Among them were boats made of skeletal remains and flesh, as well as ships rendered undead through the use of a giant fish skeleton.
There were also ordinary wooden boats adorned with various skulls.
And battered, decrepit Necromancer Ships surrounded by wailing and screaming evil spirits.
Just as the boats gathered, so too did the people on the island, representing various factions all hailing from the pirate, cult group, and dark power circles of the Giant Wood Habitat.
"Kaluto, why did you call us here instead of continuing to stop the Flower Fairy's revival?"
A group of various figures, with their followers in tow, gathered around the center of the island.
At the center, a ghostly blue flame burned, casting eerie light on their profiles.
It was utterly terrifying.
And the one speaking was a man who was blind in one eye and had his mouth sewn shut.
"Fool, stop your sarcasm. Even a sewn mouth can't stop your foolish remarks?" Kaluto retorted unceremoniously, turning his head and unleashing a tirade.
The one-eyed, stitched-mouth man seemed ready to lash out in anger, but the person beside him held him back.
This was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat unkempt, yet among this group, he seemed the most normal.
Wearing ordinary clothes, with an ordinary appearance.
He looked at Kaluto and asked, "Enough small talk. What exactly do you want by gathering us here?"
"Isn't it obvious? Of course, he wants our help, to join him in foolishly attacking the Flower Fairy's territory.
That's an ancient Divine about to awaken! And we are merely mice scuttling in the gutters. Do not forget your place." An elderly woman, hunched over and with a sharp, high-pitched voice, said.
Looking at the elderly woman, Kaluto still showed no mercy, "Shut your mouth, you damned old hag. You're a mouse, but we are not."
"Hehehehe, yes, yes, big shots hiding in the gutters, right?"
"Enough! Shut your mouths. Don't you understand why you're here?" A towering, three-meter-tall strongman roared loudly.
Most noticeably, it wasn't his head that was speaking, but the mouth on his belly.
With his words, the rowdy and cursing atmosphere finally quieted for a moment, though mutterings of discontent persisted.
Kaluto also took a deep breath, calming down before speaking.
"You have been gathered here, and in your hearts, you know very well that I have clearly lost in the matter of the Flower Fairy's revival. The Sea God Church provided assistance.
But this isn't without progress, for the entire Lands of Spirits remains chaotic, and the damage is enough to wound them deeply."
"So you need our help, to accompany you in one last gamble?"
"That's right."
Hearing this, the expressions of those present varied greatly.
"Why should I help you? Help you face the Four Gods, plus an about-to-awaken Divine, with my temporary Alliance?
We aren't insane, and you don't think we're clueless about this war, do you?"
A man dressed as a pirate looked at Kaluto and said.
"Once the Flower Fairy revives, will this chaotic place remain? By then, the entire Giant Wood Habitat will fall under the Divine's control.
And you will scatter like dogs without a master once again."
"So what? It's better than dying, isn't it?" said one of the masked individuals.
His words received much agreement from others.
Indeed, targeting the Four Gods Church along with an about-to-awaken Divine, totaling five Divine forces, was clearly not a wise choice.
This was akin to suicide.
"Enough, you cowardly lot." Kaluto cursed irritably.
Then he continued, "Do you think you'll have a good life if you leave? Scattered all over, we'll truly become the mice in the gutters.
Just like before, living on the edge, hunted by all sorts of bounty hunters dragging us out of the gutters for execution."
"Nowhere else provides such an environment for your rampant activities!"
"Moreover, those of you with keen information networks should know, the Sea God's church will only assist them this once.
And the Seed of Life is in natural conflict with the Flower Fairy, their relationship is evident. It's merely because they needed to go to the Life and Death Boundary, so they sent two Merfolk to provide help.
In reality, we only need to face the Holy Mother and the Holy Machine Church, who haven't sent much support.
Matters outside have already left them somewhat struggling to cope.
The shadow formed by the negative energy of countless deceased necromancers currently hovers over the entire Lands of Spirits, which is our greatest ally."
"Moreover, we're not without the assistance of a true Evil God!
Our master will provide the greatest help to impede the Flower Fairy's revival."
After speaking, Kaluto looked at everyone present, waiting for their response.
"Our master will also provide assistance." The strongman with a giant mouth on his belly said as well.
It was evident that he, too, was a cultist.
