Chapter 439 - 440: Inheritor! Clara!
Aster Grant’s gaze fell upon Clara, a hint of comfort flashing in his eyes.
He slowly crouched down, meeting her at eye level.
"Clara."
Aster’s voice became exceptionally gentle.
He extended a phantom-like finger, lightly touching Clara’s forehead.
"Fear is not shameful! But don’t let fear overshadow the courage in your heart."
A vast amount of information slowly flooded into Clara’s sea of consciousness.
It was the Awakening Array for Beast Tamer, and...
Beast Taming Contract Array!
Meanwhile, Aster directly helped Clara complete her awakening!
A blue light suddenly appeared on Clara.
This also meant...
Clara’s awakening was complete.
Having done all of this, Aster stood up and swept his gaze over the silent crowd.
Then his voice clearly echoed throughout the cavern:
"From today onwards, Clara will be the inheritor of this power, passing down my strength!"
"What?!"
With these words, the whole place erupted in astonishment!
Everyone looked incredulously at the skinny, soot-stained little girl!
To have her... as a leader?
To inherit such an important... seed of power?
She’s just a child!
And Clara herself, who had come to her senses, was also stunned.
Her little face instantly turned pale, and she looked helplessly towards Aster, her eyes full of panic:
"I... I can’t do it..."
"Aster... I... I don’t know how to do anything..."
Aster looked at her, a hint of encouragement in his eyes:
"You can, Clara, you possess a precious quality that others don’t!"
"The courage to still step forward in dire circumstances!"
"And Clara..."
"Never forget! I’m just an ordinary person too! We are all ordinary people!"
Having said that, Aster no longer gave Clara a chance to speak and turned to look at Isabelle and Sally:
"We should be going!"
After saying this, Aster turned around and left.
He had done everything he could.
The seeds of hope were planted.
Too much protection would stifle growth instead.
The path ahead was theirs to walk.
And he had his own path to tread.
The Divine Pattern of the Chronospirit Clan was still waiting for him.
And as Isabelle watched Aster’s departing figure, she looked at the numbed Human Race around her.
She opened her mouth, wanting to question Aster:
Having spent so much effort saving this group of humans.
And now leaving so easily?
But upon seeing Sally decisively stepping forward, she swallowed her question.
This human must have his considerations!
No matter the situation, it seemed to be within this human’s grasp.
Even the mysterious power that had earlier descended upon her, even though she hadn’t mastered the Law Body...
With the aid of that power, she was able to effortlessly annihilate the two members of the Demon Clan.
Thinking of this, Isabelle also stepped forward to follow.
And Clara watched Aster’s retreating figure, then glanced at the countless complex gazes focused on her.
She bit her lip hard, her small fists clenching tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
The immense pressure almost suffocated her.
But Aster’s words, especially the sentence ’We are all ordinary people...’
Continued to give her strength!
She took a deep breath, seemingly using all the strength in her body.
She called out to Aster’s back with a voice tinged with tears yet exceptionally resolute:
"Aster! I... I will do my best! I won’t let you down!"
"Next time we meet..."
"I will make sure you meet someone who fights the Demon Clan to the end, a newly transformed Human Race!"
Aster’s steps paused slightly, but he did not look back:
"I believe in you."
"Next time we meet, I’m looking forward to seeing!"
...
...
At the same time.
Not far from Grakkar.
The sky seemed to have been torn open like a wound.
Dark red clouds spun violently, forming a massive vortex.
Accompanied by the sound of space tearing, a figure wrapped in dense black-red Demonic Qi.
Fell from the vortex’s center like a meteor, crashing heavily into the charred peaks below!
"Boom——!!!"
The ground shook, the mountains trembled! Smoke and Demonic Qi rose to the sky, forming a massive mushroom cloud.
The point of impact, with its radius spanning several miles, fractured like glass into a huge pit.
In the center of the pit, Iris Ashford’s enormous Pyralia form was faintly discernible.
But at this moment, she had lost her former sanctity.
The originally radiant Red Gold Phoenix Feather had mostly been tainted by Demonic Energy Erosion.
The most unsettling were her eyes, once blazing like the sun.
Now, one eye had entirely transformed into pure, black filled with violence and a desire for destruction!
While the other eye fiercely flickered and struggled between black and the remaining gold-red!
The scant gold-red was desperately weak.
"Roar——!"
A pained, ruthless howl erupted from her throat!
She was being completely devoured and transformed by Demonic Qi!
Once that final shred of clarity faded, the world would never again know Pyralia Iris Ashford.
Only a being that embodies destruction and chaos...
The Sable Phoenix Fiend!
And as Iris plummeted into the Demon Abyss.
At the deepest point of Demon Abyss, within a realm of absolute darkness that even light could not penetrate.
Scarlet eyes, appearing to have slumbered for eons, slowly opened.
The eyes held no feeling, only indifference and majesty overlooking everything.
It was Demon God Valley!
"Hm?"
A soft murmur echoed through the desolate darkness.
Demon God’s terrifying spiritual power instantly swept across the entire Demon Abyss.
"A new Demon God?"
Demon God’s will stirred slightly.
Although Demon Abyss revered strength and chaos reigned supreme.
Each additional true Demon God enhanced Demon Abyss’s overall strength.
Especially at this crucial moment of plotting an invasion of a new world, the birth of a new Demon God could certainly serve as a valuable piece.
His spiritual power swiftly locked onto the source of the aura.
"Grakkar’s territory?"
"Interesting... Fallen here! It seems she should fall under my command."
Without a trace of hesitation, Demon God’s entity within the endless darkness moved slightly.
In the next moment, above Grakkar, the dark red sky was silently torn like a curtain!
A presence, merely existing, caused the surrounding laws to lament, quietly descended!
The terrifying Demon God’s pressure pressed down like the collapsing sky, instantly enveloping the whole mountain range below!
Just moments ago, Iris was struggling fiercely, her movements suddenly froze.
The last struggling glimmers of gold in her eyes dimmed slightly under this absolute power!
Demon God’s indifferent gaze fell upon Iris at the center of the pit as she transformed into the Sable Phoenix.
"Impressive talent... Unfortunately, incomplete transformation!"
"Abandon resistance! Bow to me, and I can grant you eternal life!"
