Chapter455: Time is Running Out
"Very strong. Because this is our last chance." Cuny glanced at Charles and replied.
This statement is not false, those geniuses in slumber are far beyond what the ordinary talents of today can compare to.@@novelbin@@
Not to mention, at the very least, this little girl next to him, who is already a level five Beast Master, would find it very difficult to catch up with those sleeping geniuses without some stroke of fortune.
After all, entering slumber through special means and then waking up after a large-scale burst of attribute energy requires a massive amount of resources, without significant value, one wouldn't undertake such a process.
"In chaotic times, monsters emerge. It won't be long before the Ethereal Grove becomes a paradise for the strong and a nightmare for the weak. Charles, hurry up and get stronger."
Cuny didn't say much more, he simply kept watching Charles with a complex gaze, letting out a deep sigh.
If possible, he also wanted Charles to stay by his side, continuously growing stronger and enhancing his abilities.
However, the risk was too great, Charles was still only a level four Beast Master, and his strength was far too weak.
At any moment, he might become a target for others, and there would be no time for regrets!
Moreover, regarding the thing within Charles, only he himself could experience many things and see the world for what it truly was in order to grow and become the hope for everyone!
Cuny didn't want to cause any accidents due to his influence.
He couldn't bear that kind of risk!
Cuny briefly chatted with Charles, then took the first mysterious person, known as Code Ten, who had just awakened, and left.
Charles simply watched them leave, frowning as he contemplated his future plans and goals.
...
The Haunted Marsh, headquarters of the Beast Master Guild, atop the tower.
The recently returned Cuny sat in the office at the top of the tower, turning his chair towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the expanse of the Haunted Marsh. He placed the fingers of his right hand on his thigh, tapping rhythmically.
Time passed slowly.
In the midst of silence, Cuny suddenly spoke up: "Is everything cleaned up?"
A figure slowly materialized, a mysterious person wearing a half white mask. He gently removed the mask, casually placing it on the desk, and then walked over to the nearby sofa, sitting down relaxed."
Don't worry, all members of Genosha's Constellation organization have been completely eliminated.""Didn't attract the Four Ghosts' attention?" Cuny said slowly.
The so-called Four Ghosts were his term for the four powerful entities of the Constellation organization.
Normally, they should be referred to as Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
However, those four guys' mystical beasts were exceptionally bizarre, appearing as distorted monsters that simply didn't deserve such titles.
"No, those four guys should be busy with something else. By the way, Boss, can't you just erase my memories? It's really uncomfortable to have these feelings I can't recall!" The figure known as Ten took off his mask, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that looked like a legendary siren.
However, the large dark circles under his eyes stripped away his air of mystery.
"Put the mask back on, Duan Yang. Alright, you have other matters to attend to, so don't forget after the meeting." Cuny completely disregarded his complaints.
"A meeting? Are we having another gathering of the ten? It hasn't been long since the last one, has it?" Duan Yang silently put the half white mask back on, he was already used to it.
Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
His face, resembling that of a stunning beauty, often attracted peculiar stares from others.
He didn't want that, it was just how he was born, and he had no desire to change it.
Quickly, Cuny, sitting in his chair, stood up silently, took a deep breath, and walked toward the conference room.
The mysterious person known as Ten, or Duan Yang, yawned and followed behind him.
So soon, besides the two of them, eight more figures appeared in the conference room.
"What's this meeting about again? It hasn't been long since the last one, has it?" someone complained in a low tone.
Cuny didn't respond, he merely fixed a cold gaze on the elderly woman who had spoken.
"If your [Suspended Mountain] continues with this uncooperative attitude, don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands." Cuny said in an icy voice.
The temperature in the entire conference room dropped instantly, and Duan Yang, standing next to him, silently stepped back a couple of paces, clearly wanting to avoid the chill emanating from Cuny.
"You! I was just asking a question, is that necessary? We, the [Suspended Mountain], do not welcome outsiders. We will cooperate with you when it's required." the old woman quickly changed her tone and replied.
The others present noticed that Cuny's attitude was a bit off, and no one spoke, all quietly waiting for what was next."Alright, the [Constellation] organization has been quite active lately and has produced some very interesting things." Cuny slowly began, observing the others as he spoke.
However, it was unfortunate that those present were not only incredibly powerful but also very shrewd. No one revealed any strange expressions and simply waited quietly for Cuny to continue.
"The [Constellation] organization's little rats have grown a bit too arrogant. It's been a long time since I've taken a proper stroll outside. Ten, once you finish your current tasks, go take a trip to the Abyssal Great Wall for me and have a good look around." Cuny said calmly.
His voice was calm, but to the others, it sounded like a thunderclap, especially to the elderly woman who had spoken first, she was from the mysterious [Suspended Mountain]!
When the [Suspended Mountain] had refused to cooperate actively, Cuny had personally gone up the mountain. The outside world was unaware of what had transpired, they only knew that one-third of the [Suspended Mountain] had been turned into magma by raging flames.
Since then, a group of light attribute level nine Beast Masters had appeared within the Abyssal Great Wall.
Now, just as Cuny had managed to maintain a long stretch of peace, he was planning to venture out again. What could that possibly mean?
The elderly woman's thoughts raced as she recalled the recent behavior of the Beast Masters from the Suspended Mountain. There hadn't been any particularly outrageous actions, had there?
"Could it be that Cuny is dissatisfied with the Suspended Mountain again? Is he looking to use this opportunity to give us another warning?" the old woman pondered.
At that moment, a frail old man slowly spoke up, "Where exactly do you plan to go? Is something special happening?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent, redirecting their gazes back to Cuny.
"Maybe yes, maybe no. Perhaps I'm just bored and want to see the scenery outside? Or maybe some people are getting restless and harboring thoughts they shouldn't." Cuny said expressionlessly, his words ambiguous and unclear.
"Are you going to the Cyber Academy as well?" the frail old man said slowly, he was the dean of the Cyber Academy!
"Yes, I'll be visiting all of them: the Cyber Academy, the [Suspended Mountain], the [Beast Sect], the nation of the Haunted Marsh, and the Abyssal Great Wall." Cuny replied.Silence fell again, once more into silence.
Everyone's hearts grew uneasy as they contemplated the meaning behind Cuny's words, trying to discern something.
It's important to note that Cuny's strength far surpassed that of anyone present!
They were merely demigod-level Beast Master powerhouses, while Cuny had likely already touched upon the true realm of divinity!
Such a person, even if the entire group present rushed him, could not be easily dealt with.
"By the way, who is currently stationed at the Abyssal Great Wall?" Cuny seemed to remember something and casually asked.
"That would be me." replied a plump-looking middle-aged man with a harmless demeanor and a faint smile on his face.
"Number Six, get ready. Ten will be heading to the Abyssal Great Wall in a couple of days." Cuny stated.
Number Six nodded and remained silent, lost in his thoughts.
Soon, Cuny mentioned some other trivial matters and lightly suggested that if any exceptionally gifted talents appeared in the future, they could consider them for the substitute positions in the Ten.
No one took this matter to heart, everyone was preoccupied with contemplating Cuny's decision to leave the tower and what his intentions were in sending Ten to the Abyssal Great Wall.
Once the meeting concluded, only Ten, Duan Yang, and Cuny remained in the conference room.
"Boss, what am I supposed to do in a place like that? You know I can't really adapt to that kind of environment. I will..." Duan Yang's words were cut off abruptly by Cuny.
"You don't need to do anything, just stay there." Cuny said, waving his hand to signal Ten to leave.
Knowing Cuny's character well, Ten did not say another word and simply turned to exit.
Now, only Cuny remained in the vast conference room.
"What purpose could I have? I'm just thinking of making some noise, this way, people should shift their attention away from a small place like Genosha." Cuny's voice slowly echoed.
No one would ever guess that the purpose behind all this was for Charles.
The top forces, organizations, and nations of the Ethereal Grove were all unsettled and taking action because of Cuny's words.
They would never know that all of this was to ensure that an eighteen-year-old boy could grow up in peace.
"Charles, as long as you haven't fully matured, I will do my best to stay alive, but time is running short." Cuny silently raised his arm, and an explosion of fiery divine power surged forth from his body.
In the next moment, a distorted and grotesque face appeared on his arm, displaying a mocking expression.
