Chapter 762 Vicissitudes
The Divine Spark piece was extrely attractive to most creatures.
They would even compete over it irrationally.
That was the instinct that had been etched into their blood.
To evolve into a higher being, they could only condense their Divine Spark or steal soone else’s.
Looking at the Divine Spark piece in Roland’s hands, Futi was eager to take it away.
But eventually, she managed to hold herself back.
She was an adult silver dragon anyway, and her clan was best known for their resolve and determination.
Roland looked at the Divine Spark piece and was quite surprised too.
Item: Piece of the Brutalization Divine Spark (Mythic)
Effect: You receive incomplete divinity of brutalization and can build a paradise with the power of faith.
Requirent: Beco a Demigod.
He then put the Divine Spark piece in his system Backpack and walked to the two dead white dragons.
Both of them were adult dragons about thirty ters long. Seeing how big they were, Roland connected to the floating city and lowered it first. He then lifted the bodies of the dragons with a hundred giant Hands of Magic and placed them in an open area in the floating city.
The scales of the white dragon had mostly cracked due to the heat, but it was fine. They could be ground into powder and mixed into molten iron to increase the iron’s flexibility and magic resistance.
Besides, the dragons still had a lot of flesh and bone that could be used.
Roland was here to pick dragon bones. Little did he expect to reap two dragon bodies and a Divine Spark piece.
The trip was definitely rewarding.
Futi had led him to this place. Was she a fortune bringer?
Roland couldn’t help but look at the beautiful elf next to him.
Noticing Roland’s strange gaze, Futi touched her face and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Roland shook her head and said, “Too bad that I only got one Divine Spark piece. If I had got two, I could give one of them to you.” The Evil God Abak ran off after leaving a Divine Spark piece. He didn’t leave it voluntarily. Under normal circumstances, the Divine Spark would fall apart after a god died.
If a god was killed again when they didn’t have any pieces of Divine Spark, the god would die. Since this Divine Spark was a broken piece in the first place, it had been dropped, and Abak returned to the Astral Plane with the Divine Spark of jealousy.
If Roland had killed Abak twice, naturally two pieces would’ve dropped. That was why Roland said that it was too bad.
Futi shook her head and said with a smile. “Without you, I would’ve been killed by the Evil God and the white dragons. I barely made any contribution.”
In her opinion, she didn’t contribute at all.
The two white dragons were almost killed by the explosion spell, and she finished them off as easily as eating a piece of cake.
She didn’t help fight the Evil God either.
She knew very well that she wasn’t of much help in the battle just now.
It would’ve ended the sa without her.
Acquiring the bodies of the two dragons, Roland wasn’t satisfied. He dug down in the forest and found the deeply-buried dragon bones. He then transferred them to the floating city again.
Roland had a strong sense of achievent when he looked at the blackened dragon bodies and a dragon skeleton.
They all ant money.
Then, he flew back to the Fareins Kingdom on the floating city and asked the architects and sculptors to continue their work on the floating city.
Stephanie went up to the city too. She wanted to check how the palace that belonged to her and Roland was being built. Then, she saw two dragon bodies and a skeleton. She was so excited that she shook Roland’s arm quickly.
“I want a dragon body! I want one!”
“All right!”
Roland accepted her request without hesitation.
For Roland, he could get as many dragon bodies as needed by hunting the five-colored dragons.
However, they were rare goods for Stephanie.
The dragon scales could be made into armor, the dragon at could be made into reagents, the bones could be crafted into weapons. They could all increase the royal family’s strength and indirectly strengthen Fareins.
She didn’t know much before she beca the queen, but after running the country for a year, she realized how many problems Fareins were faced with both at ho and abroad.
No wonder her father gave away the crown so promptly.
Stephanie was secretly quite angry, as her father had put her in trouble.
Good thing that her man was very tough.
Earlier, he had flown the floating city to the capital and intimidated whoever clandestinely opposed her.
At this mont, he got three dragon bodies. Instead of asking for all of them, she only needed one.
The dragon body could be used in negotiations, compromises, threats, or other things.
It could help her stabilize the situation and take care of the problems that the kingdom was faced with.
Soon, night ca.
Roland spent the night in the palace, and the queen catered to his needs gently.
He would stay in the capital of Fareins for the ti being. After all, it wasn’t convenient for the architects to do their job when the floating city was flying. In reality, Roland led his team to work on experints on magic power attraction again.
He made a lot of progress.
Of the three experint subjects, two could already cast Hands of Magic.
Or rather, it would be more suitable to call them Hands of Babies.
They were very small and weak and could barely hold a bottle steadily. However, everybody in the base was excited to hear the news.
Soone else apart from Roland could cast a spell, which ant that the special ability could be copied and learned.
Therefore, more resources were invested in his team.
When Roland was going to recruit and test more subjects for the experint, he received a call.
It was from the outside world.
This was a secret base and any calls would be vetted again and again. The fact that he received the call ant that it was truly important.
Roland picked up his phone and found that it was from Schuck. He put it through and said with a smile, “It’s been a while. Why are you in the mood for calling today? Have you solved your problem in the ga?”
After a brief silence, Schuck said, “Betta is dead.”
“Who killed him? Soone dared to kill one of F6?” asked Roland with a smile. “Let’s all gather together and beat them up tonight. I’ll fly the floating city to support him.” A soft sigh ca from the other side of the phone. “Let make myself clearer. Not the ga character Betta, but Liang Lidong is dead. My cousin is dead.”
Roland was stunned.
After a mont of silence, he asked in a low voice, “You’re not joking, are you?”.
Schuck’s hoarse and crying voice ca from the phone. “I’m not. He’s in the morgue now and will be cremated the day after tomorrow. Do you have ti for his wake?”
“Sure, I’ll ask for leave.”
“Okay, be back soon.”
Roland hung up the phone and went to the director to ask for leave.
The director gave him permission without asking why and then said, “Don’t use teleportation. If you trigger special energy, you may be detected by special equipnt in so countries. Also, ask two bodyguards to co with you when you go back.”
“That’s unnecessary. Nobody can hurt under normal circumstances.”
“I know, but that’s the rule,” explained the director. “All important personnel must be protected by two bodyguards when they’re out. It’s a matter of attitude. Got it?”
Roland nodded.
Then, he packed up at his dormitory. The mont he ca out, he saw two expressionless, plain-looking young n outside of the door.
“Sir, we’ll be responsible for your safety during your trip.” Roland nodded and said, “Thank you, let’s go.”
It took him half an hour to pass all the checkpoints in the base before he finally ca out of a certain cave on a green Jeep. Then, he reached an airport after a three-hour drive on the highway. He flew to the capital of the province and then took a bus to his hotown.
After that, he called Schuck and they t at the cold drink shop.
The bodyguards stood outside of the shop.
Schuck had dark eye bags and looked grieved.
Roland sat down across the table and cut to the chase. “What happened to Betta?”
“Take a look for yourself.”
Schuck played a video.
In the video, Betta was waiting at a bus stop with a lot of bags. He seed to have just finished his shopping in a supermarket.
Next to him was a mother and a daughter who was probably only five years old. After a while, Betta suddenly threw away all his bags and dashed forward. Then, he ran back quickly, seized the little girl, and pushed her away.
After that, a truck appeared in the video and knocked Betta and the young mother away at the sa ti.
The truck then disappeared.
The image shook at this mont, indicating that the cara was influenced by the hit. It was not hard to imagine how fast the truck was and how powerful the impact was.
Roland turned off the video and massaged his temples.
He had a strong headache.
Betta didn’t grow up with F6 like Schuck did, but they had played the ga together for more than seven years and often t in this place. They were already the best of friends.
F6 was even considering changing their na into F7.
However, the man was gone all of a sudden.
“The girl was saved. She only had so bruises,” said Schuck, sobbing. “After Betta and the mother were hit, they were stuck to the front of the truck and then hit the thick cent wall of a mall nearby at more than 80 kph. Both of them were squished and couldn’t even be separated anymore.”
Hearing such miserable news, Roland subconsciously clenched and loosened his hands again and again.
“How are Uncle and Aunt Liang?”
Schuck shook his head. “Betta was their only son. My uncle and aunt passed out the mont they heard the news. My uncle is awake now, but nobody dares to let him see my cousin, fearing that he will be devastated again. My aunt is still unconscious in the hospital with signs of cerebral hemorrhage.”
“You ntioned that your cousin is in the morgue?”
Schuck nodded.
“Can I see him?”
“Let’s go there together. As it happens, I have to sign a lot of paperwork for my uncle.” Both of them and the bodyguards got in a car behind the shop. They were silent on the way.
Schuck didn’t ask who the bodyguards were. He didn’t ask anything.
After reaching the hospital, he showed his token and went to the morgue.
Two workers in the morgue, wearing gloves and masks, were trying to separate Betta from the young mother. Roland watched them for a while and closed his eyes painfully.
How could they be separated when they were squeezed as thin as paper?
There were also several other family mbers who were weeping at the bodies. Almost all the females had turned their heads and didn’t bear watching them.
Two old n and a young man were wailing at the broken pieces of at on the stretchers.
The more Roland looked, the sadder he beca. He was about to turn around to calm down, when he “saw” so feeble spatial magic waves on whatever was left of Betta in surprise.
The tiny traces of magic waves were fading away.
Who else in this world could use spatial magic except himself?
At this mont, Schuck ca close with red eyes. “You can go now. Only the families should stay here for what will happen.”
Roland looked at him. “Can you handle this on your own? Let stay and help.”
“Don’t underestimate . I’m a cleric anyway.” Schuck put on a miserable smile.
Thinking for a mont, Roland left the morgue.
After leaving the hospital, he rode a bike to where Betta had the accident.
His bodyguards followed him on bikes too.
He knew the city where he grew up so well that he recognized the place of the accident the mont he saw the video.
At the location, Roland observed the bus stop for a while but didn’t see anything.
He then walked to the cent wall nearby.
There was half a broken cordon here, and the truck was gone. The traffic police must’ve taken care of everything.
There was a huge dent on the front of the wall.
At the center of the dent were large, dark red blood stains.
A lot of water and foam could be found on the ground. The blood wasn’t completely cleaned despite all efforts.
So blood had seeped into the wall.
The passersby seed to know of the accident and all subconsciously kept a distance from the wall.
Roland was the only one who approached it voluntarily, because he saw sothing incredible.
It was a magic portal that was about to close.
The portal emitted a magnificent air of divinity.
He was the only person who could see it.
The ordinary people who passed by the portal showed no reaction.
The portal was only the size of a fist. He couldn’t possibly squeeze in. Also, it seed to be closing.
He hurriedly condensed a pair of magic coordinates with ntal power and threw them into the portal.
The portal was soon closed after that. At the sa ti, he lost touch with the magic coordinates.
Who created the magic portal?
Where did it lead to?
There seed to be a lot of secrets on Earth.
Many thoughts rolled in Roland’s head.
Then, he discovered a tiny ball of light at the edge of the wall.
It was only the size of a thumb and quite inconspicuous, so Roland neglected it earlier. Was it a soul?
It even seed to belong to a woman?
It was vanishing?
Roland leaned close and thought for a mont. He then grabbed the tiny ball of light and put it in his head.
