Chapter 480: The Royal Secret Realm
This was the first time Charles had witnessed such a sight. The originally empty training room was suddenly filled with white, shadowy figures. Some of them were faint, and Charles could vaguely see the scenery behind them through their translucent bodies.
These white apparitions all appeared to be children, looking unusually small and frail. Charles couldn't make out their faces, but he felt their gaze upon him.
Faced with this situation, Charles was somewhat confused, but he quickly noticed the hundreds of white figures in front of him beginning to move.
All the white apparitions slowly bent down and bowed toward Charles, before gradually fading away, like sand being blown away by the wind.
"Thank you, thank you, brother."
"Thank you."
"Goodbye, brother."
One heartfelt thank you after another echoed in the room, and an inexplicable emotion gradually rose within Charles.
It felt as though one day, you had helped someone in desperate need, someone who only you could help, while no one else could.
With your help, that person freed themselves from their suffering and found peace.
The words of gratitude in his ears felt like the most soothing elixir in the world, calming Charles' heart, leaving him with a sense of quiet pride and fulfillment.
Once all the white figures had disappeared, Charles took a deep breath. There wasn't much he could do.
If faced with the misfortune of others, and Charles was unable to help, he would never put himself in a dangerous situation. Instead, he would keep it in his heart, waiting for the day he became stronger to take action.
Charles admitted that he was not a perfect person, and he didn't care about the label of "hero."
"If I ever get the chance, I'll wipe out those beasts in the Constellation organization. Not a single one will be spared!"
This thought flashed through Charles' mind, and he stretched out his hand toward Mousie. Mousie immediately leapt onto his shoulder.
"Master, Master, I've gotten stronger! Now, I'll definitely be able to help you do even more!" Mousie said excitedly.
A smile tugged at the corners of Charles' mouth. When he saw his mystical beast so happy, he couldn't help but feel happy as well.
"By the way, Mousie, did you just comprehend a new skill? How about showing it off?" Charles suggested.
Mousie nodded, then flew off Charles' shoulder and landed in the center of the training room.
In the next moment, Mousie stood tall, and dark energy gathered above its head. The space seemed to tear apart as a massive eye, nearly a meter and a half in diameter, suddenly appeared.
The black vertical pupil, the slightly grayish white sclera, exuded a sense of ruthlessness, coldness, and an aura of destruction, as if a giant were peering through a window, watching a little boy trembling with fear in his bedroom.
Even someone as mentally strong and composed as Charles couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
When Mousie stopped using The Eye of the Demon God, Charles finally let out a breath. Although it had only lasted for a few moments, he had indeed felt an overwhelming and terrifying pressure.
It was like an instinct from his body the panic and helplessness of prey when it faces a predator, something completely uncontrollable.
If it had been any other Beast Master, they surely wouldn't have snapped back to their senses so quickly in such a short time.
"Another excellent control skill. Although the duration is shorter than Little Gold's Liquid Metal Spray, anyone who sees The Eye of the Demon God will be affected, and its range is enormous," Charles said, very satisfied with the results of this promotion.
He was a bit curious. Could that eye actually be the eye of Mousie's final form, God of Apocalypse? If so, how terrifying would the full power of God of Apocalypse be when it finally appeared?
Pushing his expectations aside, Charles quickly packed up and headed back to his dorm to rest.
He was a bit tired these past few days, and getting a good rest would help him prepare for the royal secret realm entrance tomorrow evening.
...
The next morning, when Charles arrived at the cafeteria of Cyber Academy, just like he usually did, he noticed that the students around him were whispering as they looked at him.
"Did you hear? Charles did something huge again he directly executed a guilty investigator and even killed two level six Beast Master enemies!"
"Is that for real? Two level six Beast Masters? My god, even the regular teachers here are only level six Beast Masters. Doesn't that mean Charles is stronger than most of the teachers now?"
"That's definitely the case! Otherwise, how do you explain Charles being called the monster of Cyber Academy?"
"We all entered Cyber Academy at the same time. I'm still only a level three Beast Master, and Charles can already kill two level six Beast Masters in one go. The gap between people is just so big!"
"But I heard a rumor that the investigator Charles killed was somehow connected to some high ranking official from Genosha."
"What does that mean? The investigator was guilty, right? If he was killed, then so be it. Charles is just clearing the way for the people!"
"I'll tell you, I heard that..."
As Charles listened to the murmurs around him, he walked up to the second floor of the cafeteria and entered the private room he usually went to.
Carter's death would certainly have some impact, both good and bad.
The good part was that other investigators would likely become more cautious, no longer willing to resort to the same underhanded methods that Carter had employed for the sake of merit and personal gain.
The bad part was that now Charles had become the enemy of a certain official behind Carter, and with their interests harmed, they would surely hold a grudge against him.
However, Charles wasn't worried about this at all. His Beast Master mentor was the only level nine Beast Master in Genosha who would dare to touch him?
The wrath of a level nine Beast Master was enough to destroy an entire country!
Since the news of Ezra becoming a level nine Beast Master had spread, Kingston had become unusually quiet, even pulling back their border troops and choosing to temporarily retreat.
But Charles knew one thing for sure: his mentor, Ezra, wouldn't stay in Genosha for too long.
Based on what he had seen at the Abyssal Great Wall and Cuny's words that day, Charles knew Ezra would eventually return to the Abyssal Great Wall to guard it and protect the entire Ethereal Grove.
"I must take this opportunity to deal with all those with impure intentions and improper actions, so that others will fear me!" Charles thought for a moment and decided that after he went to the Haunted Marsh, he would take the initiative and eliminate all potential enemies.
There wasn't much time left before the great battle of geniuses between Genosha and Kingston. After that, it would be the Cyber Academy's central campus assessment. Even if Charles couldn't become a level five Beast Master in such a short time, and thus wouldn't need the assessment to enter the central campus, he wouldn't stay in Genosha for long.
Once Charles left, Celestine, Jace, Zachary, and some of Charles' closer acquaintances would continue to stay in Genosha. Charles wanted to eliminate all potential threats now to prevent anyone from harming those he cared about in the future.
The day passed quickly, and even during classes, Charles could see the teachers' eyes filled with a hint of admiration whenever they looked at him.
By evening, Charles arrived at the entrance of the Cyber Academy, where Zachary and Luna were already waiting for him.
The three exchanged simple greetings and followed the official personnel of Genosha to the Genosha Royal Palace.
Inside a large garden at the Genosha Royal Palace, the garden appeared plain and unremarkable, but hidden within it were many powerful Beast Masters.
Charles, with his strongest perception, immediately understood that this must be where the Royal Secret Realm of Genosha was located. He hadn't expected it to be hidden inside the palace rather than somewhere outside.
As Charles, Zachary, and Luna entered the garden, the first thing that caught their eye was a massive lake, so large it looked like it could fit eight or nine soccer fields.
Beside the lake was a small pavilion. There, Genosha's emperor, Miles, Luna's father Nathaniel, as well as Finn, Grace, and Luma, were already waiting.
"Everyone is here now. I will open the Genosha Royal Secret Realm in a moment, but there are a few things I need to explain beforehand," Miles said first.
He looked at Charles, his gaze filled with admiration and satisfaction.
Charles was his personally appointed Genosha Supervisor, and every action he took represented Miles' vision and image. Although Charles had already been given the Supervisor position, there were still some ministers who occasionally expressed grievances.
In just a few hours, Charles successfully tracked down the enemy's base, killed two level six Beast Masters, and thwarted the enemy's plot. It was truly a great achievement!
With such an accomplishment, the ministers had nothing more to say in opposition.
Miles set aside his thoughts and began to explain the Genosha Royal Secret Realm:

"Once the Secret Realm is opened, you will have one day to explore inside. By this time tomorrow, the Secret Realm will close, and everyone will be expelled."
"Opening the Secret Realm requires a significant amount of resources, so the energy intensity within the Realm is many times stronger than what you would find outside, and there are also materials and treasures that are impossible to find in the outside world."
"You can choose to cultivate inside the Realm, but I don't recommend that. It's better to explore and complete the various trials inside the Realm, as that will yield the greatest rewards."
"Most importantly, there is a mountain within the Realm. If you can reach the summit, you will gain the Genosha Royal inheritance, allowing you to quickly become a level eight Beast Master in a short period of time."
"But this does come at a cost. Not only will you no longer be able to reach level nine Beast Master, but you will also need to complete a contract. That is, after becoming a level eight Beast Master, you will be required to protect Genosha for fifteen years."
