After dawn, Daigo and the others knew of Aoki's arrival.
None of them knew what Aoki had been doing during this period of time.
They only knew that in the past few days, the people of the church had almost disappeared. Wherever they were, or even if they extended a relatively long distance, they did not meet a single member of the church.
According to the content left by Aoki before he left, the Waveguide Valley they were in should be in Area 3. They did not meet any members of the church in Area 2 and Area 4, which had already surprised them. They guessed that Aoki had secretly gotten rid of them.
Now that Aoki had returned, he directly told them that they could continue to expand their range of activities in the future. However, if they wanted to go to a more distant area, it was best to choose two or three people because the people of the church would not and would not dare to call for their companions.
As for why these members of the church were like this, Aoki did not tell them the reason or the process, but they still trusted his words.
In the letter, Aoki told them that his elf's strength had increased to a very critical point, so he might hide for a long time. He hoped that they would not disturb him unless necessary and did not have to worry about his safety.
If there were any requirements for props, they could leave a list of what they needed at the entrance of the cave every night before they went to bed. Of course, materials and rewards were indispensable.
Daigo and the others had no objections to this.
Aoki had only been away for a few days, and they felt very uncomfortable. They did not have anything they wanted, which was very uncomfortable for them. Moreover, the elves did not dare to use their full strength in battle. After all, if they were injured, there would be no logistical support.
Now that Aoki had returned, it was as if they had a backbone, and everyone's improvement in strength rose again.
Unknowingly, Aoki's existence had become the last layer of protection in everyone's hearts. He was their backbone, and this was a subtle change that he had brought about by helping everyone time and time again.
Daigo and the others went out to train with confidence. Since Aoki said that they could go further, they were prepared to explore further this time.
...
One week later, Aoki finally came out of the cave in the Waveguide Valley. At this moment, he felt refreshed. All the stress and depression in his heart had disappeared.
At this moment, the pressure that the Divine Religion had given him disappeared completely.
Of course, this was partly due to the fact that Wallace and Eveyard, the two most powerful elves, had perished under Luca and Palugia's unreasonable attacks. But more importantly, it was because of the sudden increase in their own strength.
Every single one of Greenwood's sprites had improved by quite a bit. Although this improvement had a certain impact on the stability of their explosive strength, Greenwood believed that as long as they were given a period of tempering, it would be enough for them to recover.
It had to be said that the existence of the Church of God was indeed reasonable. At the very least, their endless and strange methods were something that the Alliance and the Rocket Team didn't have.
This time, the Church of God's strange methods played a huge role in increasing the strength of the sprites.
However, the reason why Aoki felt that all the pressure had disappeared was not only because of the improvement of all his sprites, but also because of the existence of Dakley.
This time, the recovery potion's effect was still quite outstanding. The increase in strength was beyond Aoki's expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Sprite: Dakley (Light Purple) – Corrupted
Gender: Male
Level: 89
Attribute: Evil
Special Characteristic: Nightmare
Portable Items: None
Genetic Skills: None
Basic Skills: Strange Wind, Freeze, Lightning Flash, Hypnosis, Surprise Strike, Nightmare, Shadow Clone, Black Fog, Dark Hole, Trick, Dream Eater, Evil Wave
Imparted Skills: Cheat, Snatch, Grudge, Wonderful Space, Slap, Snoring, Absorption Punch, Cantrip, Collect, Zhenqi Fist, Hell Stab, Shock Wave, Freezing Wind
Skill Learning Device: None
Dakley was still in a corrupted state, but the rank and aptitude he displayed now had a huge change.
Originally, a divine beast like Dakley, and one that surpassed the three divine birds, should not have a lower aptitude than purple, unless there were some special existences.
However, in the A.I. Chip's scan, Aoki's Dakley had always been at the blue level.
Aoki knew that this was because there was an energy in his body that clashed with his own. This caused the A.I. Chip's analysis of Dakley's potential to be on the lower side.
However, after using the recovery potion, a portion of the ghostly energy in his body had been removed, and Dakley's aptitude and potential had finally returned to the purple level.
More importantly, Dakley was now at level 89. He was at the peak of the champion's first checkpoint, and was only a step away from the champion's second checkpoint.
With Luca and Palucia not allowing elves to break through the champion's second checkpoint, such strength could be said to have reached the pinnacle of the Spacetime Continent.
Dakley's current existence was truly the pinnacle of the entire continent, especially when Wallace and Eveyard's strength was much weaker than before.
Although it was only a level increase of three, Dakley had been ruthlessly tortured for three days and three nights, and then slept for three days and three nights. Aoki had also spent a day adjusting himself before finally walking out of the cave.
Now, he had the strength to support him in the Spacetime Continent and do what he wanted to do. Only then could he completely reveal the desire he had suppressed for the thing behind the barrier at the peak of the Spacetime Continent.
Aoki now had the strength to directly challenge and arm wrestle with the members of the church.
It wasn't just one or two scattered groups, but he had the strength to challenge all the members of the church in the Spacetime Continent.
Of course, the premise was that they could unite again.
When Aoki came out of the cave, there was still no one in the entire valley. It had to be said that Daigo and the others were very unlucky. They hadn't seen Aoki for a long time.
However, it was also good that they weren't here. Otherwise, Aoki would have to tell them what he had experienced during this period and what he was going to do this time.
Because he couldn't tell them everything, he had to tell some lies.
Although Aoki didn't rule out lying, and he said it very smoothly, in Aoki's heart, this was not a deliberate lie, but a white lie.
Sometimes, telling a white lie would require dozens of equally "white" lies to round it out. This was too tiring, so it was naturally better not to tell them.
Together with King Dai, they used teleportation and disappeared from the Waveguide Valley.
At this time, Aoki's control of his superpowers was enough to support him to use teleportation freely. If he was together with King Dai, then the range of their teleportation would be even larger.
After several consecutive teleportations, Aoki appeared at the entrance of another cave.
"Sir!" As soon as Aoki appeared, two people respectfully shouted.
They were the two subordinates he had subdued in the Spacetime Continent, Brad and Catherine.
At this time, the two of them sincerely admired Aoki, even with reverence.
They saw Aoki's plan from the beginning to the end, and the two of them even participated in it. Many things that Aoki couldn't do himself were left to the two of them to do.
The result of this mission was also beyond their expectations. No one knew the horror of the church better than these two people who had lived here in fear for twenty-five years.
The people they had come into contact with were only the few people who originally lived here, not including the members of the church who had broken the space barrier and entered later.
Originally, they thought that with the progress of these people, the Spacetime Continent was basically in their pocket. The idea of Brad and Catherine wanting to return to the Elf World was ultimately a bubble.
Who knew that Aoki directly went undercover inside the church and used various methods to maneuver his way into the church. They didn't understand very much, but the result was greatly beyond their expectations.
The collapse of the church's members in the Spacetime Continent was a reality. Aoki relied on his own strength to disintegrate the largest force in the Spacetime Continent in an instant.
Although there weren't many casualties among the church's members at this time, they were now doing their own things. It was a very good thing to be able to protect themselves. The original feeling of being restrained and not daring to act casually disappeared.
Aoki, who had such strength and the ability to plan, made Brad and Catherine see hope that they might be able to leave.
"How's the subduing of those elves during this period of time?" Aoki asked faintly.
Hearing this, Brad immediately took out a few pokeballs from his pocket. "Sir, these are the remaining elves. Catherine and I each chose two of them. After more than a week of practice, they can already display a certain amount of strength in actual combat."
These pokeballs were actually found by Aoki from the place where Number Four was hiding. Except for the three that were deliberately placed in Number Four's place, Takeshi Aoki handed the rest of the elves to them for safekeeping and let them choose the most suitable elves for them.
Each of them chose two, which meant that the number of elves they had at this moment had recovered to six, and they were six elves that could display a certain extent of strength.
The reason why they didn't subdue all of them was that sometimes, having too many elves might not be a good thing, especially when these elves originally belonged to others.
Six elves was already the limit that the two of them could control at this moment.
In fact, the two of them had lived here for 25 years and experienced 25 years of hardships. They had experienced much more than the church's members who had spent 25 years living a comfortable life here. Their growth and gains were also much greater. It was just that they didn't have enough resources and no pokeballs to subdue wild elves.
As a result, the number of elves they had was always in a state of shortage. Even if the individual elves were not inferior to the church's members, the overall strength was still very different.
Moreover, they couldn't truly trust each other, and their lives were much harder than the church's members who were united.
However, those members of the church lived too comfortably, so they didn't have any sense of urgency. With sufficient resources, the benefits of growth might not be higher than Brad and Catherine's.
At this moment, they had once again replenished their six elves, and their strength had skyrocketed. It was basically not too much of a problem for them to deal with some mid-level church members. Even if they could use divine power, there was no problem at all for them to resist and not be defeated.
Two people with the strength of "ordinary" members, in addition to Aoki who was a peak combat power, in the current situation where the church was falling apart and they didn't trust each other, Aoki and the other two were already very powerful existences.
After all, the three of them were able to achieve true mutual trust because of the invisible influence of superpowers, which was something that the church's members didn't have.
Aoki accepted the pokeballs that Brad handed over. Although these elves weren't good enough for Aoki, their value was still very high. Otherwise, No.4 wouldn't have been so complacent when she took so many elves and was ruthlessly played by Aoki.
"This time, we're going to solve the problem of the two of you returning to the elven world." Aoki said.
Hearing Aoki's words, Brad and Catherine's eyes burst with hope.
They had waited for so long. From the beginning, they were willing to follow Aoki. Wasn't a large part of the reason why they wanted to leave the Space-Time Continent and return to the elven world?
However, they were still a little uncertain whether Aoki could really bring them back, but now that they heard Aoki say this, they let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
In fact, after the two of them were planted with superpowers by Aoki, even if he really didn't bring them back, the two of them couldn't do anything to Aoki. They could only accept their fate. Therefore, when Catherine agreed to Aoki's request, she knew that this was a gamble, a gamble with everything she had!
"But before we do anything, there's one more thing that needs to be dealt with first." Aoki said with a little mystery.
Just when Brad and Catherine showed a puzzled expression, a smile appeared in Aoki's eyes. He didn't expect himself to be able to do this.
He mobilized the superpower in his body and circulated it in his palm. Then, before Brad and Catherine could react, his palm with superpower directly slapped Catherine's forehead.
Bang-
Catherine's eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground.
"Sir!!!" Brad's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he saw.
Aoki killed Catherine with one palm?
Why?
Just when Brad was still in a state of shock and didn't know what to do, Aoki stretched out his left hand and patted him gently on the shoulder.
Brad shuddered and immediately knelt on one knee and shouted, "Sir! This subordinate didn't do anything to let you down, please spare my life! "
They had superpowers planted in their minds. If Aoki wanted to take their lives, he could do it almost at any time. It was just a matter of a thought, and they couldn't raise any thoughts of resistance.
For example, if Aoki ordered Brad to commit suicide now, he could only commit suicide.
Then, since Aoki could get rid of Catherine so easily, why did he have to do it himself?
Therefore, Brad didn't see clearly what Aoki did.
Looking at Brad kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Aoki shook his head with a smile and pulled him up from the ground.
"Take a good look at Catherine's condition." There was some helplessness in his words.
At this time, Brad saw Catherine's undulating chest and her steady breathing. There was no doubt that she was alive and well at this time.
He shook his head again. "If I wanted to kill her, would I have to do it myself?"
An awkward expression appeared on Brad's face. He knew that he had taken things for granted this time. Since Aoki gave her an elf to replenish her combat power, it meant that Aoki still valued her.
"Look down." Aoki pursed his lips and motioned for Brad to look down.
The two of them waited in silence for a few minutes. The time was longer than Aoki imagined.
Just as he was about to check, Catherine's eyelids trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. However, when she opened her eyes, a strange light flashed through her eyes, and there was some vigor in them.
"This is …" Brad's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Aoki's gradually frowning brows loosened at this moment and revealed a satisfied smile. This time, he could be considered as an Enlighter!
The so-called Enlighter was just a special title for espers. For example, when Na Zi unintentionally helped Aoki awaken his esper ability, she could be considered as the Enlighter of Aoki's esper ability. And now, Aoki had become Catherine's Enlighter!
That's right, from this moment onwards, Catherine had become a glorious esper. However, she was currently the lowest level esper and couldn't even be considered a low-level esper. However, compared to Aoki's esper talent, Catherine's talent was many times stronger.
At the very least, she wouldn't need seventy years to reach the level of a low-level esper. She could still do it in her lifetime.
"Super … Esper …" Brad muttered. He didn't expect Catherine to have the talent of an esper.
"Esper?!" Catherine, who had just woken up, also heard Brad's words.
Although she didn't know why Aoki had knocked her out, she didn't feel any discomfort at this moment. She even felt that she had never felt so good before.
Could it be that she had become an esper?
Catherine looked at her hands and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Aoki said directly, "That's right, from now on, you're an esper. However, you can't even be considered a low-level esper. If you want to use it in battle, you need to at least reach the level of a low-level esper.
So now that you've awakened your esper ability, other than making your mind sharper, it won't be of much help.
However, it will still be of some help, right? "
Catherine at least had a chance of becoming a low-level esper, unlike Aoki at the beginning.
"This is the basic manual for espers. It was given to me by the guy who awakened me. Now, it's no longer of any use to me. I hope it will be of some help to you.
At the same time, I hope that if you can help someone else with their giant esper ability in the future, you can also help them. Consider this as a special inheritance. "Aoki said.
"Inheritance …?" Catherine blankly took the manual from Aoki's hands.
Actually, when Aoki planted the esper seed in Catherine's brain, he had already discovered her uniqueness. He also knew that she had the talent to become an esper. However, at that time, he didn't have much time to do this. Moreover, at that time, Aoki's mind was focused on his plan, so he didn't have much time to do this.
However, today, the pressure on him finally disappeared. Aoki also hoped to see his subordinates become stronger. Since she had the talent to become an esper, helping her awaken it wasn't too difficult.
Aoki's method was much gentler than Na Zi's method, so now Catherine felt very good and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Compared to Aoki's pain, she felt much better.
"Thank you, Master!!" Catherine's face was visibly excited.
Whether it was her or Brad, although they couldn't stand the people from God's Sect and didn't like God's Sect's way of doing things, they were truly envious of the people from God's Sect. They hoped that they could become an esper one day.
Who would have thought that today, he would actually achieve it!
Tightly holding the esper manual in her hands, Catherine felt that ever since she started following Aoki, she had been gaining a lot.
Now that she had become the esper of her dreams, it was simply too good.
Catherine's secret happiness, Brad's secret envy, Takeshi Aoki saw it, but he didn't express it too much.
"Let's go, now is the time to help you solve the most important thing. At the same time, help me see what the secrets of this Space-Time Continent are." Aoki's face returned to calmness, but his eyes were filled with curiosity and an unconcealable desire.
With a casual wave of his hand, the three of them, along with King Dai, disappeared on the spot.
...
Three days later, Aoki and the other two appeared in a terrain filled with gravel.
At this time, Aoki had already changed back into God's Sect's member attire, Brad and Catherine were also dressed in the same attire. Although the two of them were obviously not God's Sect members, this could still cover their bodies.
In these three days, the three of them had successfully changed from their original identities of prey to the identity of hunters.
In just three days, with the help of Aoki, "one of their own", they had successfully dealt with two more God's Sect members and obtained all their things.
At this time, Aoki realized that the biggest source of resources and income on the Space-Time Continent was no longer the inherent resources on the Space-Time Continent, but the God's Sect members.
The God's Sect members who had lost their cohesiveness were the best time to gradually break them down.
It was just that after Aoki dealt with the two people, the rest of the God's Sect members seemed to have sensed some threat and knew that their safety was not guaranteed at this time, so one by one, they all hid.
However, Aoki's target from the beginning was not them. It was just that on the way forward, he happened to meet these few people. Since it was not very laborious, of course, he did not mind increasing his income.
Now, he came to this place filled with gravel because the people he wanted to see were here at this time.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Aoki smiled and walked straight in with Brad and Catherine.
At this moment, in the deepest part of Gravel Ridge, there were four people here. If there were people from God's Sect here, they would definitely recognize them. These four people were the God's Sect members who originally lived here.
Although they were members of the God's Sect, in fact, they could not be regarded as complete members of the God's Sect. At least, they were not together with Wallace's group. They were only forced by the deterrence of the God's Sect outside and the imperceptible influence of such a long time, so they did not dare to do anything out of line.
But now that the God's Sect in the Space-Time Continent had fallen apart, it was fortunate that they did not attack each other, let alone cooperate with each other.
However, they were different. Although Aoki had dealt with two of them, they had lived together for 25 years. Moreover, before the people behind them entered, there were already two old people here. With them in charge, the six of them had a good relationship.
In a situation where everyone else was suspicious and hostile towards each other, the four of them united together at the first opportunity.
At this time, the strength of the four of them could be said to be one of the strongest forces in the entire Space-Time Continent.
When a person's strength was strong, it would inevitably bring about an increase in desire. Moreover, they were not fools. They had seen the God's Sect fall apart at that time.
It was inevitable that their hearts would be moved.
At this time, the four of them were using fire elemental fairies, water elemental fairies, evil elemental fairies, and superpower fairies respectively. They corresponded to Fire Ibu, Water Ibu, Moon Ibu, and Sun Ibu.
Including the two people who used Ye Ibu and Lei Ibu, there were a total of six Ibu fairies. They could combine to break through the barrier of the Space-Time Mountain.
Actually, to be honest, living here, they really did not know if the six Ibu fairies could break through the barrier. They definitely needed something special, but Wallace had not told them about it.
"Huo Kui, do you think this number three is reliable? Can we trust each other? " The relatively young man who followed Moon Ibu asked the old man who followed Fire Ibu.
Although the two people who used Fire Ibu and Water Ibu were the strongest here, they were different from Wallace and Eveyard. They were very clear that the main person in charge of everything was the old man called Huo Kui who used Fire Ibu. This was a habit they had cultivated over the years.
Huo Kui who used fire elemental fairies, Shui Miao who used water elemental fairies, E Song who used evil elemental fairies, and Nian Jing who used superpower fairies were the only women among the four.
Their former names had been abandoned by them after they entered the Space-Time Continent. The people who used Lei Ibu and Joukly that Aoki had met actually also had such names. However, following their deaths, these names were no longer important.
Although the old man called Huo Kui used fire elemental fairies, his personality was completely different from the violent nature of fire. He looked like a kind old grandpa next door.
He lightly stroked the finger-long beard on his chin. It was a beard he had meticulously kept, and could be considered one of his little hobbies. "This number three is not ordinary. When the incident happened that day, none of you paid attention to him, but this old man has been intentionally or unintentionally paying attention to him.
This person looks rather ordinary, but he does things decisively. He answered Wallace's questions very straightforwardly, and when he chose to leave in the end, he didn't hesitate at all.
Most importantly … When Wallace and Eveyard were about to fight, it was his fairies that attacked first, causing Wallace and Eveyard to have no choice but to fight. "
Hearing Huo Kui's words, the other three revealed astonished expressions. They really hadn't noticed this point. They didn't think that Huo Kui had seen all of this.
"That means this No. 3 is not a simple character. To be able to pull off such a stunt right under Wallace's nose, he sure has guts," E Song muttered. He seemed to be reacquainting himself with the No. 3 that E Song had mentioned.
"Hmph, that's not all. When he left, he dared to send me a voice transmission, saying that he has a way to break the barrier on the Time and Space Mountain and told us to wait for him here.
Do you think that someone who dared to send me a voice transmission at that time would be a simple person? " Huo Kui's face was also filled with astonishment. He didn't know what method number three had, but from his perspective as a bystander, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that number three wasn't simple.
"Right now, the only power that can possibly gather together is the four of us. Number three definitely knows that we'll gather together, and he even dared to ask us to meet here ten days later. It's clear that he has a card up his sleeve, and he has the strength and courage to fight against us," Shui Miao said from the side.
After Huo Kui's words, the others no longer dared to underestimate Aoki, number three.
Actually, when they thought about it carefully, Aoki's actions on the Time and Space Mountain back then couldn't be concealed. It couldn't stand up to scrutiny, and anyone who was slightly observant would think that it was him.
Moreover, the people who died were number two, number four, and number six. In terms of distance, as long as number three was willing, he would be able to meet them.
Who said that number four was the murderer who killed number two? And number five was the murderer who killed number six?
Aoki, as number three, was mixed in with them, so what kind of identity did he have?
Furthermore, he still chose to contact the four of them in the end. It was clear that he had nothing to fear. He was either an idiot, or he was confident in his own strength.
In the eyes of Huo Kui and the others, would number three, who was playing an unknown role, be an idiot?
It was obviously impossible.
Hence, for safety's sake, the four of them had arrived three days ago to check the surrounding situation in case they fell into number three's trap.
If number three hadn't set up a trap here, they wouldn't have minded setting one up and inviting him into their trap.
At that time, they might be able to investigate number three's true strength and depth.
For a person to be able to hide his strength in an organization like the God Sect where tigers and wolves gathered, he definitely had an ulterior motive.
In the eyes of Huo Kui and the others, number three, Aoki, definitely had a plan in mind before he entered the Time and Space Continent. They wouldn't have thought that number three had already been switched out, which was so ridiculous.
Just as they were discussing, Aoki finally entered the scanning range of their superpowers.
