Chapter 1603: Chapter 962: Hidden Dangers of the Empire
“On the World Island, precise space teleportation indeed has its hidden dangers…”
Tao Yu sped through the air, using short-distance space shifting was fine, but if one wanted to tear open a larger space, they would face interference both from the World Island and the Endless Sea, as well as potentially from the Abyss Demon Gods.
It wasn’t impossible, but using it just for travel wasn’t worth it.
However, the spatial side can hide in spatial crevices and has excellent area shifting; if one really had to escape, they could take a slight risk with long-distance tearing for a random teleportation.
Therefore, the spatial side’s harassment and maneuverability abilities are still top-notch, but it lacks some frontal combat power of the same level.
With Tao Yu’s speed, he reached Saint Wels City in an instant and headed straight for a towering peak at the city’s edge.
This was where Bentley Island Master usually secluded himself for cultivation.
On the peak, snow was thick, and a small wooden cabin was built on the cliff’s edge. From there, one could overlook the entire city and the calm sea extending outwards.
At this moment, two figures not emitting any Divine Light were standing there chatting casually, and they also saw Tao Yu arriving in a golden stream of light.
The next moment, Tao Yu landed on this cliff.
“Let me introduce, this is Mr. Meng Qi, who acted as the ‘stabilizer’.”
Bentley City Lord was still in the same appearance as before, with a neatly trimmed mustache, and after introducing to Karas, he also said to Tao Yu,
“Mr. Karas is the True God of the famed Purification Holy Hall, known as the ‘God of Justice’, who can’t stand human suffering and has a deep hatred for evil. He has been following the destruction and trails of Evil God believers, saving multiple cities and destroying many Evil God believer hideouts.”
Karas donned slick white robes with a head of dazzling golden hair that floated dreamily like a golden flame, and his handsome face brimmed with a gentle warmth.
At first glance, he could inspire trust in others.
Coupled with the revered name of the ‘God of Justice’, he could indeed earn a high initial score.
Yet, this person, who didn’t emit Divine Light and appeared gentle and approachable, gave Tao Yu an exceptionally rare feeling of threat.
The sense of his strength, the threat he posed, surpassed that of any True God he had seen so far.
This even after just completing a wave of enhancements himself!
Very strong, not an obscure figure among True Gods, possessing the power to single-handedly defeat ordinary True Gods.
After Bentley Island Master finished the introduction, Karas waved with a smile,
“Mr. Meng Qi should have briefly met our Holy Hall’s representative.”
Without directly revealing Tao Yu’s identity, he merely showed a faint, knowing smile, indicating he was aware of Tao Yu’s identity.
“Oh? I didn’t expect you two to have such connections, but this time Mr. Karas sought to meet Mr. Meng Qi; I’m just the intermediary. I’ll leave you two to talk.”
Bentley, capable of becoming the Island Master as a Demigod, was not just for having backing; understanding when to advance and retreat was also crucial.
He knew his role well, always managing but never treating this place as his territory.
After he voluntarily returned to his cabin to continue his secluded cultivation, Karas also smiled, raised a hand, and set up a barrier, isolating this place from the outside world.
“Some things indeed are better kept from him. Bentley is capable in many ways, but he is quite inflexible.”
Completely different from their first meeting, during his first encounter with Tao Yu, he immediately gossiped about Bentley.
This kind of double-dealing behavior was quite unlike his original demeanor.
Tao Yu, unsurprised, calmly responded,
“Mr. Karas’s assessment is indeed quite candid.”
“Haha, you’ll find out that the original always behaves this way once you get to know him.”
Karas waved dismissively, showing a face of complete nonchalance.
“May I know the purpose of Mr. Karas’s visit this time?”
“Perhaps you can guess it yourself.”
Karas turned back deeply to look at Tao Yu, his expression gradually becoming serene.
At the same time, a surge of power seemed to pulse within him.
If before, Tao Yu sensed the other’s potential threat through Spirit Perception, now it was Karas slightly showcasing his abilities.
This display, however, wasn’t hostile but more like a form of showing off and self-presentation.
“Please speak clearly.”
“Haha, then I shall be straightforward. You must also be pursuing the reward from the World Will, right?”
Karas spoke with a knowing, amused expression, indicating he had seen through everything.
“The rewards given by the World Will indeed exceed ordinary divine insights, and are faster than using the Yuan Force, but opportunities are too scarce. I happened to come across it.”
Tao Yu sighed lightly, not confirming or denying.
“Happened upon it? Is it that coincidental?”
Karas displayed a deeply meaningful expression, seemingly quite accustomed to such explanations.
“Let it be as coincidental then.”
Nonetheless, he merely mentioned it briefly, then sidestepped the topic.
“Liao Bin was eyeing this matter for a long time. Everything was set, yet unexpectedly you snatched it away. That reward was crucial for him since he can’t frequently show up at such places again and must plan the timing anew next time…”
