Chapter 733 Granting the Ark
Chapter 733 Granting the Ark
Fang Zhou slowly opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness. When he saw Yun standing beside him, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
"You're finally back!" Fang Zhou shouted excitedly, his voice full of anticipation and joy.
However, Yun's response was unusually bland: "Yeah, I'm back."
Fang Zhou was keenly aware of the indifference in Yun's tone, which was far from the joy of reunion he expected. He couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked hurriedly: "You...what's wrong with you?"
Yun was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's nothing. I'm relieved to see that you are all fine."
Fang Zhou heard the truth in Yun's words, but he still felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but think of the thrilling battle, and a wave of guilt surged in his heart.
"Well... we had no way to deal with that battle." Fang Zhou's voice was slightly low, with a hint of self-blame.
Fang Zhou knew very well that he joined the battle too late in the God-Slaying War, which resulted in the unfortunate deaths of many people. This incident had always been like a heavy stone weighing on his heart, and he could not let it go.
Yun blocked the news at that time in order to prevent trouble in the rear during the battle. After all, they were fighting against Titans, so he also did not let Fang Ark know. After all, Fang Ark was not Yun's ally at that time, so Yun was undoubtedly right to do so.
When Fang Zhou learned the news, it was too late. At that time, all the airships were covered and controlled by clouds, and it was not easy to get an airship. After some efforts, Fang Zhou finally got an airship, but it was also a helpless move.
"You didn't do anything wrong," Yun comforted him, "If it weren't for you, the final result would probably be failure." Yun did not blame Fang Zhou.
However, Fang Zhou's heart was still filled with guilt, "But Sindialai is still..." he muttered to himself.
Yun understood Fang Zhou's feelings. He patted Fang Zhou's shoulder gently and said, "Some things are beyond our control. I'm going to go see Aaron now. Let me tell you something."
"Ah? You're leaving?" Fang Zhou seemed a little surprised. "Can you wait a little longer? Aaron has been in a coma for a long time, so a little longer won't hurt. Besides, when you come back this time, I have a lot of things to hand over to you." He said anxiously.
Yun was a little confused by Fang Zhou's words. "What are you handing over?" he asked. "Why do you want to hand it over to me? Aren't you doing very well? At least much better than I did back then."
"No...no...no, the reason why we can unite to fight against the Titans is entirely because of your existence! We all know that we can only resist the Titans' erosion and cannot stop its fierce attack. However, as long as you are here, the Titans will never take action personally. Because of this, the high-end combat forces on the planet will work together to fight against the Titans. But once we lose you, the situation will become extremely bad, and the Titans won't even need to take action personally. The infighting among us alone is enough to destroy this planet beyond recognition." Fang Zhou was anxious and tried his best to persuade.
However, in the face of Fang Ark's pleading, Yun behaved unusually calmly. He responded calmly: "Didn't you successfully defeat the Titans without me? Moreover, didn't you resist quite well during the time I was away?" His tone seemed as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"How is that possible?" Fang Zhou retorted excitedly, "Sintiale, Aaron, Brox, and Wrathion, who defeated the Titans last time, which one of them was not your right-hand man? Now, they are all gone. If the Titans come again, we will be totally helpless!" His words revealed deep worry and fear about the future.
"Leite is very strong, and so are you." Yun's voice was calm and firm, as if this was an indisputable fact. However, his tone revealed a clear sense of alienation, as if he did not want to get involved in this matter.
Fang Zhou obviously noticed Yun's attitude. He frowned slightly and said seriously: "No, we can't accomplish anything without you. We need you." There was a hint of earnestness in his words, as if he hoped Yun could change his mind.
At this moment, Lei Te also came over. His steps were steady and powerful, giving people a strong sense of oppression. He looked at Yun and said slowly, "Well, we need you." His voice was low and magnetic, and it was impossible to ignore it.
Yun was in a state of confusion. He knew that Fang Zhou and Lei Te really needed his help. However, he was really too tired, both physically and mentally. He couldn't help but think of the hardships he had experienced along the way. Those targets and responsibilities were like heavy mountains, weighing him down so hard that he could hardly breathe.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he stopped talking. He felt that he was just an ordinary person, and getting the system should be something to be happy about, but he didn't expect it to bring so much trouble and pressure.
"Well, since you are tired, take a break. As long as you are still here, we still have the motivation to fight." Fang Zhou looked at Yun's slightly tired face, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart. He wanted to continue to persuade Yun, but when he saw Yun's firm and somewhat helpless expression, he was relieved.
Fang Zhou knew that Yun had left home when he was young and had been working outside on his own. His path to growth was full of thorns and challenges. Yun had been fighting against powerful enemies that he had never dared to imagine since he was young. It could be said that the pressure that Yun had endured was far beyond his imagination.
"But, Chief, if Yun can help us, our plan..." Lei Te said anxiously. He was obviously a little worried about Yun's rest, after all, Yun's strength was very important in their team.
However, Fang Zhou interrupted Leiter without hesitation: "It's okay, it was not in the original plan. I believe we can do it." Although his voice was calm, it revealed confidence and determination.
"But..." Rhett seemed to want to say something, but Fang Zhou interrupted him again: "Do you need me?" At this time, Yun, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
Fang Zhou looked at Yun, smiled slightly, and replied, "We can do it ourselves." His tone was firm and powerful, as if telling Yun that they did not need to rely on anyone to complete the task.
"System, can I still grant it?" Yun's voice sounded in his mind, with a hint of uncertainty and hesitation.
The system's answer was concise and direct: "Yes."
Yun took a deep breath and said nothing more. He quickly took out the Dark Empire Blade from his arms. The dagger flickered faintly in his hand, as if telling of its former glory and bloodiness.
Yun stared at the dagger in his hand, with mixed emotions in his heart. This dagger had been with him for a long time, witnessing many of his experiences and growth. However, now that his own physical condition had changed drastically, he couldn't help but begin to doubt whether he could still be considered an ancient god.
At the same time, Lei Te, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw the dagger in Yun's hand. He was very familiar with this dagger because it was the terrible weapon that could absorb his ancient god energy. When he saw Yun take out this dagger, his heart was filled with fear and confusion, not knowing what Yun wanted to do with it.
Yun didn't seem to notice Lei Te's reaction. His eyes were always on the dagger, as if he was communicating with it silently. After a while, Yun slowly pointed the dagger at Ark's chest, then closed his eyes and silently recited a sentence: "Gift, Ark Arathor, Paladin Class."
Fang Zhou was full of doubts and puzzlement. He stared at Yun with wide eyes, as if trying to find the answer from her expression. However, Yun just nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Fang Zhou hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to trust Yun, so he relaxed his body and let the strange energy surge into his chest like a surging wave.
Instantly, a huge amount of energy was injected into Fang Zhou's body like a flood. This energy was so strong that it seemed to tear his body apart. Fang Zhou couldn't help but tremble all over. He had already adapted to all kinds of pain after being transformed by the Holy Light, but at this moment he felt an unprecedented pain.
This pain did not come from the outside, but from deep inside the body, as if every cell was being burned and torn apart by this energy. Fang Zhou's body began to tremble involuntarily, and sweat flowed down his forehead and cheeks like a spring, instantly soaking his clothes.
However, despite the unbearable pain, Fang Zhou could clearly feel that this high-purity energy was rapidly filling every corner of his body. He could feel that his muscles, bones, and meridians were being nourished and strengthened by this energy, and the previous holy light energy was gradually assimilated under the impact of this powerful energy, and finally disappeared without a trace.
The intense pain made Fang Zhou almost unbearable, he clenched his teeth tightly together, and held the objects beside him tightly with both hands to prevent himself from falling due to trembling. But at the same time, the excitement in his heart burned like a flame.
Because he knew that although this energy brought great pain, it also meant that his strength would be significantly improved. This tangible sense of improvement made him unable to suppress his inner joy. Although the pain in his body almost made him faint, his spirit was extremely excited.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream pierced the air, and Fang Zhou fell straight to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away. The guards outside the door heard the sound and rushed in quickly as if they were facing a great enemy.
However, when they saw Fang Zhou lying on the ground, their nervousness was instantly replaced by astonishment. Fang Zhou looked pale and extremely weak, as if he could die at any time. Seeing this, the guards raised their weapons without hesitation and prepared to attack this "uninvited guest".
At this critical moment, their eyes met with Yun who was standing beside them. In an instant, the guards seemed to be cast under a spell, frozen in place, completely at a loss.
"I'm fine." Although Fang Zhou's voice was weak, it still brought the guards back to their senses. They looked at Yun in confusion, then looked at Fang Zhou, as if to confirm whether he was really fine. In the end, the guards decided to believe Fang Zhou's words, slowly put down their weapons, and then quietly left the room.
After the guards left, only Fang Zhou, Yun, and Lei Te who was standing not far away were left in the room. Yun turned to look at Lei Te, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and asked: "Are you coming too?"
Rhett was obviously a little confused. He looked at the Blade of the Dark Empire in Yun's hand, then looked at Fang Ark's excited expression, and asked hesitantly: "Me? Can I too?" Although he didn't quite understand it all, from Fang Ark's reaction, he knew this should be a good thing.
Yun didn't say anything more. He walked straight to Lei Te with the Dark Empire Blade in his hand, and then put the blade against Lei Te's chest without hesitation. Lei Te felt a powerful energy rushing into his body like a torrent. This energy was both strange and familiar.
It turned out that Yun did not pass on the power of the Blade of the Dark Empire to Leiter as he had done before when he gave the Ark profession. Instead, he injected the remaining energy of N'Zoth in the Void Vortex into Leiter's body without reservation. This energy was no longer usable by Yun, but for Leiter, it was like finding a treasure.
After all, Rhett has always relied on this kind of energy to fight. Now that he has obtained more Enzos energy, his strength will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
It was still the same familiar routine, Lei Te suddenly felt a strong energy pouring into his body like a torrent. He widened his eyes in astonishment, looking at the cloud in front of him in disbelief, his heart full of doubts and shock.
Where did this energy come from? Why did Yun give him such a powerful N'Zoth energy? Before Lei Te could figure out these questions, the huge energy quickly flooded his body like a flood.
This energy was too powerful, far beyond what Rhett's body could bear. It raged through Rhett's body, impacting every cell and nerve in his body, making his body seem to be torn apart.
Leiter's body began to tremble violently, his teeth clenched, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. The endless energy gathered frantically in his body, forming a huge pressure that seemed to burst his body.
However, just when Leiter was in great pain, he suddenly realized that the energy did not stop pouring in, but continued to flow into his body. He understood that as long as he could endure the pain, he would be able to gain more energy.
So, Leiter gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his body, and continued to bear this powerful energy. His body trembled more and more, like a leaf in the wind, which could be blown down at any time.
At this time, Rhett had no time to think about how Yun obtained N'Zoth's energy. All his attention was focused on how to survive this painful ascension process.
