Mayor Zang followed behind Jareth with a smile on his face; he kept wiping the sweat from his face and maintained those perfect mannerisms that nobles follow.
Just standing in Jareth's presence is already a difficult thing, and he's been doing so for more than half an hour now.
Fortunately, the mayor finally got the chance to breathe a sigh of relief after Jareth went on stage, and he himself got to sit on one of the seats in the front row.
'Phew~ after this speech, I guess they will be ready to leave… although it would be good. If a grade 1 mage can permanently stay in this place and improve safety, that is just my wishful thinking…'
Although Zang still harbors fear for Jareth, he understands the crucial role a Grade-1 mage can play in safeguarding civilians from extrely powerful threats.
If Jareth hadn't happened to be here at the right ti, that bone dragon would have laid absolute destruction on Bastille.
The whole city would have been wiped off from the surface of Earth.
Everyone in Bastille owes Jareth a big favor now, including the mayor himself.
'I guess I should prepare a generous farewell gift for them all…'
Just when the mayor was still busy thinking about random things, Jareth took the mic and glanced at the sky first.
"Before we start the eting, let's change that gloomy weather first…"
Jareth's abrupt declaration stunned everyone at that mont.
No one knew what Jareth wanted to do; he slowly floated up in the sky and raised his finger towards the sky.

(Sudden Flashback)
Mayor Zang has always been a calm-minded person since childhood; he was good at studies and inherited the position he has today from his father.
Once upon a ti in his younger days, Zang had a conversation with his father.
"Father, why is it that only our city is surrounded by clouds and the rest of the world isn't? Is there no way to solve this?"
Zang's father sighed and patted the young kid's head before saying,
"My son, there are two types of phenona in this world, one that we can control and study about… And the other is the one that we mortals can't control or comprehend with our abilities…"
Standing on the balcony, Zang's father pointed towards the distant dark clouds and said,
"Those clouds represent the uncertain future, Zang; no one knows where or when they will rain thunder…"
"Our lives are also like that; no one can see the future, and thus we never know what difficulties might co our way in the future; it may be calm one mont, but deadly the other…"
"Life is a ga of surviving difficulties and improving your ntality…"
"Those who can pass these tests live, and those who can't, end up forgotten in the long annals of history…"
Zang's father smiled and said,
"So, I hope you will grow up strong enough to face any situation with a calm mind…"
At that ti, Zang asked a silly question out of curiosity.
"But father, what if one day a person appears who can really control these clouds?"
Zang's father laughed a bit at that question and replied in an amused tone,
"Well, if such a person were to exist… that being couldn't be called a 'Human' anymore… No re human has the ability to influence the 'Laws' of the world to this extent…"
"I guess we can say that such beings would have transcended the'mortal' form and can be considered sothing above the realm of mortals…"
"Such a being would be even stronger than a grade 1 mage! At that point, we can already refer to such a being as a 'Demi-god'!!"
…
(Back to present)
Everyone, including the mayor, got up from their seats with a look of absolute shock in their eyes.
Mayor Zang rembered the conversation he once had with his father and thought to himself,
'Father, you were right… A being of this caliber can indeed be called a demi-god…'
As if the sky had heard Jareth's command, everything went silent for a mont, and then the change started.
The clouds started to dissipate at an insanely fast speed, and the clear blue sky slowly started to beco clear.
The warm sunlight finally fell on the desert after who knows how many millennia.
The sky seems to be blessing Jareth, and Jareth seed to be blessing all the mortals at this mont; he seed to be shining with divine radiance.
This wasn't an illusion though; Jareth had figured out how to 'influence' the law of thunder in this area while fighting Konda.
He figured out that he only needed to make a slight change in the way of the 'Law' of thunder, and the whole sky would be free from its influence.
If Jareth didn't have mana singularity and the purest form of mana, doing sothing like this would have been just a pipe dream.
But Jareth was able to achieve this today all because he had the ability.
All the problems in Bastille are happening just because of these clouds; they make vehicles and other things completely useless.
But now that Jareth has fixed it, everything will beco normal.
The governnt will be able to establish a proper trade route, vehicles will connect Bastille to the rest of the empire, and there will be no more shortage of food and resources.
The military could be placed here much faster, and there will be no more need to exile people from the city as the excessive tax will be eliminated soon.
Just by removing these clouds, Jareth not only improved his own control and knowledge over the 'laws' of this world, he even helped nearly a million people who live in Bastille.
Jareth's previous feats were impressive too; he was able to beat strong monsters, but those were his personal achievents; they didn't benefit anyone else much. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
But now that Jareth has helped a million people not only once but twice. Once from Konda and now from the fate of living in isolation.
He's created a miracle that no one has before.
At that mont, Jareth didn't know that this casual act of his will would cause his na to spread far and wide; his na will be recorded in history books, and the Fla God Jareth's cult will gain thousands of believers after this event.
…
As everything was being broadcast live on TV and various social dia platforms by the reporters, all the people on the internet directly went crazy after seeing Jareth perform that insane miracle.
"Godda*mn! We got the goat performing miracles before G*A 6!!"
"Roses are red, violets are blue, dark clouds, f*ck you!!"
"Ah, the sun, the sun!! Praise the sky! Praise the sun!! Praise the Holy Fla!!"
"Babe, wake up! A new earth update just dropped; the dark sky glitch got patched up by the god of flas!!"
"Looking at the dark scenery, the goat felt that it was lacking, so he waved his finger and said to the god of dark clouds, "Okay buddy, pack up; it's ti to piss off from here…", The mortals were left in shock at that arrogance…"
The people on the internet went crazy on the spot.
Several travel companies' faced massive custor flow that day; people threatened the tour and travel companies to open trips for Bastille.
That day, people willingly ca forward to donate money so that the governnt could hurry up and build a road to Bastille.
Unaware of all the chaos that Jareth created that day, he just went and gave a random speech.
He told people so random details about the origin of the bone dragon and also told them that he used the heavenly thunder to help him out in battle.
This made the people even more excited.
No one in the long annals of history has been able to control the power of 'Heavenly punishnt'.
If Jareth has really achieved this feat, then he has really surpassed most people in this world.
His na will be rembered by all, and people will create biographies and movies on his life and his achievents.
Azul, Mark, and others who were present on the scene were so shocked that they had no words to describe their thoughts.
They originally thought that Jareth would just give so speech, and then they would leave the city quietly and go back ho.
But who could have thought that Jareth would co forward and create such an insane miracle out of nowhere!
Moreover, it seed as if Jareth was thinking of this matter as just a casual thing; he didn't even bother talking about it and just gave a speech and left afterwards; he didn't even take a single question from the reporters.
Although it was a press conference, no one was even able to question him, as they still hadn't recovered from the shock by the ti Jareth left the scene.
'He's beco stronger again…'
Mark clenched his fist and figured out that Jareth had beco even stronger than before now.
The gap between the two was already very big from the start. Mark was hoping to close this gap slowly, but all his efforts were rendered useless by Jareth.
No matter how fast Mark tried to improve, Jareth was always one step faster.
'At this rate… I will not be able to catch up to him in my whole life… I must work harder…'
Jareth's miracle marked the day for a new beginning for Bastille.
From now on, people can co and leave Bastille easily, the place will no longer be isolated from the rest of the world.
