Chapter 256: We Might Miss Out If We’re Late
Watson lowered his gaze to himself. He discovered that he had gotten slightly taller. His skin had turned baby white, and the color of his hair had changed. His hair used to be brown, but it had changed to a light gold color. He exuded a holy and n.o.ble aura, aided by the six white wings that extended from his back and the halo above his head.
[Host: Watson]
[Current form: Mythical Creature Angel Form (can freely switch to human form).]
[Effects: can obtain eternal life and all the abilities of an angel, including Absolute Reflection and a large number of light-elemental magic.]
[Additional effects: can be upgraded to platinum-tier, ineffective against people who are already at platinum-tier. The speed of light-elemental magic, combat aura cultivation, and the damage to evil creatures are increased by ten times.]
Watson stretched his right index finger and made a thin wind blade at the tip of his finger as he read the information. It slashed his arm and left a narrow wound on it. It emitted a sweet odor as silver-white blood oozed from it. Then, it gradually transformed into specks of starlight and disappeared when it came into contact with the air; the wound had healed rapidly.
He was no longer a simple human but a high-tier life form with both human and angel forms.
“Angels are mythical creatures that lived in ancient times. These six wings on my back can let me fly ten times faster than the combat aura wings, and the halo above my head is even more powerful.”
Watson shook the wings on his back and reached out to touch the halo above his head.
Those were real angel wings. Every feather was made from flesh and blood, and there were many layers on them; it made them appear thick and heavy. They were not as easily destroyed as the combat aura wings.
Furthermore, the halo above his head was not a decoration but a projection of the Absolute Reflection rule outside his body. The principle of Absolute Reflection was very simple—it could change the direction of the opponent’s attack, and he could move it anywhere he wanted. The reason angels were so powerful was because of that rule.
Whoos.h.!.+
Watson fired a gold-tier fireball at himself. The ma.s.sive fireball, which was as tall as a human, slammed into his face. The halo above his head flashed before it hit his body. Two translucent mirrors with sharp edges appeared in front of him. The enormous fireball was consumed by one of the mirrors and ejected out of the other. Its target was the hall’s main entrance.
Boom!
The flame exploded through the door, flew into the night, and vanished with a loud thud.
“That’s right. Absolute Reflection is the third diamond-tier rule that I have mastered so far. It’s easy to control even though it’s not as strong as the explosion rule I developed. With this rule, even if I stand still and don’t move, no one in this realm would be my match! Furthermore, I’ve also obtained immortality. Even if they could defeat me, they won’t be able to kill me.”
Watson turned around to glance at his side. His family members, including Anna, had all evolved into angels. Not a single one of them had ascended to a demon. So, he mocked the statistic discreetly. “They said that the probability of evolving into demons or angels is 50 percent. It looks like there’s something wrong with that probability.”
Watson’s family members had advanced to the platinum tier after evolving into angels. They beamed with happiness.
“How did I get so many wings? But they are so cute.” Scarlet grabbed onto the snow-white wings and continued to tug at them. She looked like a child who had found her favorite toy.
As for the others, they could feel an increase in their strength. They looked at Watson gratefully, especially Nindy and Vincent. As the eldest children in their family and the most talented ones in cultivation, the two of them had left home a long time ago. Despite their years of effort, they were only at the bronze tier. However, they had managed to advance to platinum-tier after their few-month stay with Watson.
Initially, the two of them were already at the peak of the gold tier; they were not far from the platinum tier. However, Watson’s help had spared them from the effort to advance their levels. They could even break through to the diamond tier.
They would not have been able to attain the platinum tier without Watson’s a.s.sistance, let alone the diamond tier.
Watson’s family was excited, and the people in the banquet hall were even more excited.
They watched helplessly as Watson’s family, including Anna, evolved into higher-tier life forms. Most importantly, they had attained immortality. So, they ran outside and shouted, “Quickly! Get me those people who can still make a wish today.”
“I know of someone. Come with me!”
The vast banquet hall emptied in a second.
It was only a few minutes before they heard thunderous footsteps from the outside. The people in the banquet hall had brought more people with them, and everyone looked excited. Some of them even had the Spring of Life water in their hands.
“Young Master Watson, I’ve obtained water from the Spring of Life. Please help me make a potion.”
“Although I haven’t obtained any water from the Spring of Life, I’ve found someone who hasn’t made a wish yet. He can get me water from the Spring of Life. Please wait a moment, Young Master Watson.”
Watson waved his hand in the direction of the approaching crowd. “Do not be concerned. One at a time. Each of you will have a share!”
Then, he turned to look at Anna. “Miss Anna, it seems like we don’t have enough food for the banquet.”
Everyone from Monte Town, Torch Town, Fairy Town, and even those from the manors at the mountain base rushed forward. That was ten times the number of people they had expected to be there. That was why the food was not enough.
“Yes, it’s not enough, but don’t worry, Young Master Watson. I’ll get someone to prepare more right away.”
Anna withdrew the halo above her head, the wings on her back, and agreed without hesitation.
The freckles on her face were still there, but her entire person had become much younger. She had transformed from a woman in her thirties into a beautiful 20-something-year-old. Her body even surged with power.
She needed to eat something; she did not even need to cultivate anything to advance. That was a feat that only Watson could accomplish.
Anna walked to the banquet hall; she scaled her eagerness down a few notches as she made the preparations according to Watson’s directions. At the same time, the entire Mount Creation was in a frenzy, and news of Watson merging with the blessings of the G.o.ds and devils spread like wildfire over the planet.
Holding back the excitement in her heart, Anna went to the banquet hall to prepare according to Watson’s instructions. At the same time, the entire Mount Creation stirred a huge uproar, and the news of Watson’s fusion with the Blessing of the G.o.ds and Demons spread like a storm throughout the world.
..
At the Mayor’s office, Torch Town.
“Lubin, have you used up your wishes today? Young Master Watson had fused a powerful tool that could allow one to advance to platinum-tier and obtain immortality. One of the ingredients requires a wish from the Wish for the World ring. If you still can make a wish, then come with me.”
Gerant rushed into the office and grabbed Lubin, who was sitting in the office chair.
He had seen how Watson fused a tool that could transform a person into an angel; Anna had evolved right in front of him. He was so jealous that his eyes had turned green with envy, and he had already used up his wishes for that day. Even though he did not get along with Lubin, he had no choice but to seek his help.
“Are you serious, Gerant? Even if I could make some wishes, why should I help you?”
Lubin cast a sidelong glance at Gerant. He had wanted to attend the banquet at Monte Town, but Gerant had refused to let him do that. However, it looked like the man needed his help.
“Don’t waste your breath on me, Lubin. You have a chance to advance to the platinum tier; do you understand me?
You and I have consumed the sun and moon gems, and we are now gold-tier elites. However, we are still far from the platinum tier. Our family sent us to the border for the t.i.tles. Imagine how important we’d be after we’ve attained the platinum tier.”
Lubin’s expression changed slightly, so Gerant seized the opportunity to strike. He said, “There aren’t many platinum-tier warriors in the entire kingdom, and our families had none too. Everyone in the royal city and our family will be shocked if we become platinum-tier elites. Don’t hesitate. Young Master Watson said that there is a limited chance to do that—first come, first served. We might miss out if we’re late!”
