Chapter 326 - 327: Make the Best of It

Chapter 326: Chapter 327: Make the Best of It

’Damn it, damn it! No matter how many times I run the calculations, I can’t find a viable escape route.’

Andre kept inventorying his resources and trump cards.

With his current assets, he had only two options for leaving this world.

One: use his items and resources to buy his way out.

However, this approach was extremely risky.

For one, he didn’t know the right channels. For another, if they developed malicious intentions, he’d have little power to resist.

Two: sneak to the world barrier, evade all life within this world, and then force his way out upon arrival.

While this would be somewhat less risky, it presented its own serious problems.

Even if he was lucky enough to cross the world barrier and reach the Star Realm before this world’s experts discovered him, they would still notice the disturbance on the world barrier.

Once they gave chase, he would be discovered immediately with nowhere to hide. The root cause was that the Morning Sky couldn’t perform consecutive Space Travel jumps.

He would have to wait seven days before using it a second time, because crossing a world barrier and traveling within the Star Realm were two entirely different concepts.

Alternatively, after breaking through the world barrier with the Morning Sky, he could separate from the ship, using it as a decoy while he himself went into hiding.

But whether the concealment Witchcraft he practiced could fool them was another question entirely.

’I advanced too quickly. There were so many things I was supposed to do that I never got around to.’

A wave of frustration washed over Andre.

Originally, his plan had been to travel between different worlds, simultaneously refining the essence of his Chaos Magic Power and making up for the studies he should have completed as a Level 2 Wizard.

And for a time, everything had gone according to his plan.

But now, he had ended up in a Level 6 World.

A Level 6 World wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn’t what he wanted. This world was far beyond his capabilities.

"Ugh!" Andre stared at the data on the projection, a surge of inexplicable anger rising within him.

’Wait a minute, wait... something’s not right.’

Andre stared at the data. After stewing in his frustration for a moment, his furrowed brow relaxed and the inexplicable anger in his heart subsided.

’The First Expedition Squad and the Pioneer Squad... how did they get to this world, and how did they transmit this data back to the mothership?’

As Andre looked at the data, his mind began to race.

There were only two possible answers to this question.

One: the First Expedition Squad and the Pioneer Squad never left this Level 6 World. Instead, they used Witchcraft to transmit the information back to the mothership.

The second possibility was that they had piloted their Star Realm Battleships and left this world.

And this world’s experts had simply let them go.

Between the two possibilities, Andre was more inclined to believe the first one.

The reason was simple: the War Against the Gods.

The War Against the Gods had made the experts of this world extremely sensitive. They might tolerate outsiders entering their world, but they would absolutely never allow them to leave.

’Should I try to contact them?’

Andre looked at the data and sat down, pondering the matter.

For him, there were both pros and cons to this idea.

If he could contact the members of the First Expedition Squad and the Pioneer Squad, he would gain detailed information about this world. But that was only on the condition that they were still alive.

But if the members of the First Expedition Squad and the Pioneer Squad had already been killed by this world’s experts...

...then his attempt to make contact could very well become the direct cause of his own death.

’This won’t work, that won’t work... This is just...’

Andre mulled over what to do, whether or not to initiate contact.

"Hm? Why are you still trembling?"

While he was thinking, Andre noticed the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant was still prostrate on the ground, its body trembling uncontrollably.

"My ancestor died in this world," the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant said to Andre.

"I know, but your ancestor died who knows how many years ago. Do you really need to be like this?"

Andre gave the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant a very puzzled look.

"But the one who killed him is still alive. I can feel his presence, blazing like a sun over this entire world."

The Eight-toothed Giant Elephant walked toward Andre. Its gait was remarkably steady, but its body never stopped trembling.

’Can trauma like this really be passed down through the Bloodline?’

Andre couldn’t help but scratch his head as he looked at the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s state.

What level of trauma could have caused the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s ancestor to etch this agony into its very Bloodline?

"There’s nothing I can do to help you with that!"

Andre looked at the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant and shook his head helplessly. Then, another matter occurred to him.

"The Power of World Origin!"

Andre took out the Power of World Origin he had previously placed in his Storage Ring.

The moment the Power of World Origin appeared, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s eyes went wide, and drool began to pour from its mouth.

This was the Power of World Origin, a treasure that could induce atavism in its Bloodline.

’How long has it been? A tenth of it has already dissipated.’

Andre cradled the Power of World Origin in one hand and, with the other, dumped out the contents of his Storage Ring.

In an instant, a massive amount of Elemental Crystals poured out.

’There’s every element here.’

Andre gazed at the pile of Elemental Crystals before him, which stood nearly two meters tall.

These Elemental Crystals had all been formed from the dissipated Power of World Origin.

A vast amount of Magic Power also spilled out from the Ring, along with the Elemental Crystals.

The instant before the Elemental Crystals hit the floor, the Magic Power density in the Central Control Room spiked by several orders of magnitude.

’Since I’m not leaving this world anytime soon, I might as well convert everything I have into my own personal power.’

With that thought, Andre sighed as he looked at the Elemental Crystals.

As for the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant, it kicked its legs out, rolled onto its back, and began greedily gulping down the ambient Magic Power.

The Magic Power density in the Central Control Room had become so immense that even the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant was overwhelmed.

’Before, I would have needed to study Space Witchcraft and Time Witchcraft just to seal this mass of Power of World Origin, using the forces of space and time to slow its dissipation. But not anymore.’

Andre glanced at the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant, shook his head, then raised his right hand and traced a Möbius Ring in the air.

He then used this Möbius Ring to envelop the Power of World Origin.

Instantly, the Power of World Origin stopped dissipating. Even the portion that had just escaped, but had not yet differentiated, was drawn back into the cycle by the Möbius Ring and returned to its source.

"You few can come out now, too!"

Andre released Potato and Seven Rings from the Secret Realm.

Once released from the Secret Realm, the two creatures began to circle Andre nonstop. Potato even shrank down and wrapped itself directly around Andre’s leg.

Next, Andre instructed Wei Xing to divert a portion of the Magic Power in the Central Control Room to the Black Iron People and the Frenzied Orcs.
