Hero of Darkness Chapter 421: Will of the Heavens

Chapter 421: Will of the Heavens

A WTF expression appeared on Kahn's face as the newly evolved Oliver in his Hawkman form exuded a terrifying and heavy aura made of world energy which was comparable to a legitimate first stage saint; suddenly started talking about nonsense such as the 'Will of the Heaven'.

"How high are you?" asked Kahn and gave a suspicious look at the 3 meter tall humanoid hawk general as if he was looking at a lunatic.

"Master… I can sense a strange energy in the surrounding nature. As if something that transcends beyond our understanding is trying to communicate with me." replied Oliver as he kept looking around him and the vast sky.

The next moment, his eyes focused on the two suns in the sky that were always on each other's side.

"And this transcendent power is telling me to not discard this new form and abolish anything that stops me from soaring high in the sky." he continued with overwhelming enthusiasm in his voice.

[System… what the h.e.l.l is this? Has he lost his sanity?] asked Kahn.

[The system is running a diagnostic.] replied the system.

And just 10 seconds later… it replied in its usual lifeless tone.

[The subordinate named Oliver must have received enlightenment after the recent evolution.

The diagnostics conclude that the root cause of this phenomenon is a specimen called Caladrius which was used during the synthesis procedure.

In the end, it is a descendant species of the G.o.dbeast Roc, which is also t.i.tled as the Representative of the Heavens in this world.] reported the system.

"Explain that stuff first you dimwit of a system!" exclaimed Kahn since he too was startled after this sudden change in Oliver's personality.

Because based on what he had seen till now… Oliver rarely spoke and always followed his orders promptly. But every time he did, he came up with answers and an accurate understanding of the situation.

Even Ronin wasn't as quick as Oliver when it came to evaluating, identifying or sensing things that n.o.body else could feel.

Whether it was during the fight against the legendary rank Bjormngandur where he noticed the descendant of the Basilisk being able to create small copies of itself and its Lucid Reality skill which he vividly explained how it worked.

And recently against Caladrius who had a mysterious aura that wasn't made from the world energy but was somehow controlling it despite the legendary rank monster trying to resist. This was something Kahn still wondered about.

Oliver always noticed even the minute things and spoke only when he had facts ready as if he was Kahn's version of Sherlock Holmes among his generals.

So him suddenly talking about something beyond transcendence and the will of the heavens had caught Kahn off guard as Oliver was the last person he'd expect this from.

"Master… I need to spend some time alone." he said.

"I feel like the sky is calling out to me. I don't know what it is… but I must go.

I shall return later." spoke Oliver in an urgent tone.

"Alright. Take as much time as you need." said Kahn as he instantly approved this request so suddenly.

The next second, the tempest archer general spread his wide and firm wings and instantly leaped towards the sky.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Oliver's ascending figure left three powerful shockwaves in succession as if the Son of Krypton himself was flying with supersonic speed after breaking the sound barrier again and again.

Sigh!

Kahn sighed as he saw Oliver's figure disappearing amongst the clouds as he kept flying higher like a rocket.

The main reason why Kahn allowed him to go was because he too received enlightenment 3 times so far.

One was during his practice as a magician when he was studying mana and world energy.

And twice when he was practicing s.p.a.ce Law and Dimensional Law simultaneously.

So he understood why Oliver wanted to leave.

Because Oliver was currently in the peak enlightened state where a new aspect of existence was revealed to him and his mind and body had to explore more and firm his footing to build a solid foundation.

Who knew if it'd make Oliver even more powerful than he already was after the rank-up.

So that's why Kahn felt like he should let Oliver fly high in the sky rather than trapping him in a cage.

"Wait a minute…" spoke Kahn as he came to a sudden realization.

"There's a pattern." he said and closed his eyes as his eidetic memo kicked in and helped him remember certain scenarios.

"Rudra is a dominating type of personality because he had both Basilisk and Draconian bloodline. Plus he's a mythical rank creature." said Kahn with a surprised expression.

"Blackwall is basically a personification of pride because he was evolved using the Primordial t.i.tan bloodline which existed even before G.o.dbeasts and Dragons.

He's basically a Royalty of a sort."

"And now Oliver, after the evolution, wants to explore the sky from above so suddenly." he said with a solemn expression.

And the only thing Kahn could connect it to was their bloodlines that were actually either a variant version or a superior purity that had the potential to surpa.s.s the original ones he used to evolve them.

"Maybe the same would happen to other subordinates. Because the high ranked creatures who sit at the pinnacle of the food chain would certainly have psychological traits of their own species and bloodlines." concluded Kahn based on every detail he noticed so far.

But without a choice, Kahn then decided to depart since there wasn't anything left to do.

In the main throne hall, Kahn was seated on his black and golden throne. And currently, he was in the company of two of his generals while the rest were away performing their duties.

"Like I said before, master. You're in no position to go on another hunt. You will still need at least a month to fully recover from the soul extraction procedure.

And till his weakened state ends, you won't be able to rise in levels again either." spoke Armin.

"Fine then. I'll use this as a long-due vacation and slack off for a month." replied Kahn as felt dizzy for some reason.

Just then, Ronin received a transmission from the artifact. His eyes widened in surprise as his alarmed expression alerted both Kahn and Armin.

"Master! We have another emergency!" exclaimed Ronin in hurry.

"What happened?" asked Kahn.

"There's an attack on the border 5th hotspot region. And it's caused by… " he reported.

"Don't you dare say it…" spoke Kahn as he facepalmed himself.

But Ronin continued regardless and revealed the true instigator…

"A Legendary Rank monster!"
