Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 247: Top Floor

Leaving behind the two, Greg walked inside the main building on the small hill and started to ascend to the top floors.

1st floor, 2nd floor... After reaching the 10th floor, Greg felt as the immense amount of energy in the air started to get consumed by his body at a rapid pace.

"But even with this amount of energy, I won't be able to make the layers move. I need a stronger amount of energy, just like God's Fruit."

With that in mind, Greg didn't hesitate and continued his ascension toward the top floor.

11th floor, 12th floor... Soon, he was already way past of the 20th floor, right on the 24fth floor, when he stopped and looked at his body.

"If I act careless, I will definitely die.", thought Greg and looked around.

Watching the hundreds of energy crystals around him, that was from middle God rank creatures, Greg thought for a while then sat down.

"Maybe this will be enough. Let's give it a try."

Closing his eyes and relaxing his body, Greg concentrated on his Second Flow.

So far, between his Second and Third Flow, he was only able to create 6 connections, while 14 remained.

"Let's see if this will work.", thought Greg with a deep frown and started to concentrate on the Second Flow's layer.

Seconds after seconds passed by in silence when suddenly, Greg noticed with happiness as the layer around his Second Flow finally moved.

"It's working!", thought Greg with satisfaction, but his frown became a level deeper as the familiar Soul Tempering pain suddenly appeared again.

"Well, it's not unbearable, so let's continue.", thought Greg and started to move the layer toward the closest point of his Third Flow.

Because the energy he was able to use was not as dense and as huge in amount as the God Fruits, Greg's progress with the connections was kind of slow.

He needed more than 10 minutes just to form that one connection, and even after that, he felt like his body just underwent great torture.

"So this is how it feels normally the Soul Tempering process.", thought Greg with a frown and continued to create the next connection.

When he created the connections for the first time, he didn't really feel pain because of the huge amount of energy inside his body from the God Fruit, but this time was different.

Not only did he feel the pain as clear as day, but the process felt like an eternity because of the long time he needed to form a connection.

But the biggest problem here wasn't this, but the fact that his body felt like exploding from the inside, because of the continuous energy consumption.

Like one could die from eating non-stop, Greg could die from staying all the time inside the dense amount of energy in the chamber.

That was why Greg calculated that like this, he could at least form 2 connections at a time then had to leave the building to rest for a while.

"Let's do it then.", thought Greg, and without hesitation started to form the next connection.

***

While Greg was busy dealing with his own business, Joe has arrived before Mythbreak again.

Walking into the city with which he was so familiar with, Joe started to search for his friends and Jay.

After wandering around the huge city for almost 4 hours, Joe finally found Emma and Mila sitting inside a restaurant chatting with Jay a bit gloomyly.

"Finally found you guys."

Hearing the familiar voice, Emma and Mila turned to look at Joe with a surprised expression.

However, when they noticed him, both of them jumped up and instantly hugged him tightly. It was visible that both of them were worried about them and Greg.

"What happened? We weren't able to track you down and both of you vanished for days!", said Mila with visible curiosity and anger.

"Yeah, tell us everything. But, wait... Where is Greg?", asked Emma instantly as she noticed that Greg was not around.

Joe after hearing the girl's rapid questions just smiled slightly and told them everything from beginning to end.

When he arrived at the end of his story, the two girls looked stupified, while Jay behind them was looking troubled.

Seeing Jay's expression Joe looked at him and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"I think, yes there is.", nodded Jay, and after a slight sigh, he started to talk.

"I fear in the future, Greg and you, both of you will end up in a dire situation."

Listening to this, Joe frowned slightly and asked, "What should that mean?"

"Just think about it.", said Jay and continued, "First, Greg and you brought the wrath of the Scepter Family, then killed a member of the Voodoo Family. After that, you made your own family, the Dia Family to be your enemy. Out of the 5 Great Families, you made 3 of them your enemies."

After thinking for a while, Jay frowned even more and said, "And adding those mysterious group that tries to kill or capture Greg, the level that is threatening you is even greater."

When Jie heard this nodded and asked slightly, "And?"

"Eh?"

When the two girls and Jay heard this answer they frowned and looked confused.

"What do you mean 'and'? I just said families and beings with scary power are after the two of you, and your lives are now dancing above knives."

Looking at Jay, Joe didn't look scared at all and asked again, "And?"

"!?"

Seeing their confusion, Joe crossed his arms before his chest and smiled.

"And what if we are in the center of attention of several scary beings or dominating families? In the end, they are still living beings, and they can die just like us."

After looking at the three, Joe smiled and said, "Naturally, what you are saying is true, but I knew that already. That is why Greg and I decided to create our very own Clan. And guess what! We found a place, that not only can defend us from any kind of calamity but can create geniuses under no time at all!"

"Such a place could never exist. Even if it is in a place or spot, where defending it is extremely easy and attacking it is incredibly hard, there is no way in hell that you could create geniuses out of thin air. Such a place does not exist!", said Mila with a frown, not believing to Joe's statement. 

However, the moment Joe listened to this he smiled and asked calmly, "Ever heard about the legend of Eternal Kingdom?"

***

Hours had passed by, and when the sun was just about to give its place to the moon, Joe arrived before Skyfall Mountain with Jay, Mila, and Emma closely behind him.

Looking at the huge mountain, Jay looked deep in thought while Emma and Mila looked around with curiosity.

"So? Is the Eternal Kingdom on the top of this mountain?", asked Mila as she tried to find a building at the top of the mountain.

But Jie just simply shook his head and said, "Just follow me."

With that, he put his palm on the mountainside and instantly the stone surface split into two, revealing a secret passage. 

"!"

When the three saw as Joe started to walk into the passage without saying a single word, looked at each other in surprise.

However, not knowing how long the passage will be open, the three didn't hesitate and followed him from behind.

Walking through the colorful passage, the three finally arrived into the interior of the mountain, revealing a breathtaking sight that Joe was already very familiar with.

"Woah!", was the only thing that the two girls were able to tell, while Jay in the back looked around with slight surprise too.

Seeing them look surprised, Joe smiled and was about to say something, when suddenly a huge explosion occurred.

*BOOM!*

"!?"

Turning his head toward the explosion, Joe noticed that from the huge building on the top of the small mountain in the distance smoke was flying out through a wide gap.

"What happened?", thought Joe with shock, unable to comprehend what could have happened just now.

"I need to find it out!", thought Joe and without hesitation, his whole body burst forward.

The three saw that something must have happened looked at each other and started to run toward the explosion.

Ignoring for the time being Jay and the girls, Joe run before the building but noticed that two figures were already standing before the facility.

"They are... Russ and Wayne? Then the one who caused all of this must be..."

And just as he thought about this, almost at the top of the building, through the gap, Greg walked out slowly, swinging his hand here and there to make the smoke fly away from his face.

"Cough... Cough... That... That was quite unexpected.", said Greg quietly as he looked at the huge damage he just caused with his own power.
