Chapter 574 Chapter 574 – Escape

“All the functions of the simulation device could only be used with simulation points?” Charlie’s expression changed as he heard this.

The simulation device itself was unfamiliar to him, but it was easy to understand, which means the mark. However, the other meaning behind this sentence stunned him.

“Simulation points are required to operate…” Charlie frowned.

When he used the simulator to travel back and forth, he started directly without using the simulation points. If simulation points were required to operate, what had happened to him before? He had some doubts in his heart and did not know what was wrong with this.

As if sensing the doubts in his heart, the voice of the simulator continued to sound in his ears, “Simulation can be done free for the first three times, but after the third time, you will need to consume a sufficient number of simulation points…”

“So that’s how it is…” Charlie suddenly came to a realization after hearing the explanation, which makes sense.

From its looks, he would need to consume simulation points to do so if he wanted to travel between worlds again after three free trips. In other words, he would not be able to carry out the simulations if he did not have simulation points. From this point of view, simulation points were indeed very precious.

“I’ve already used one out of the three chances. Only two more left…” Charlie was deep in thought. He did not feel anything about the three chances being free, but instead, he felt that he had earned them. He was not an ordinary mortal but a Fourth Ring Great Mage. He clearly understood how much energy was required to travel through worlds for someone at his level. It would be fantastic if an ordinary person could do it once. Now that he could do it three times for free, it was already a tremendous opportunity.

As for the fact that he would need to consume simulation points after three times, Charlie did not care too much. Based on the current situation, the source of the simulation points did not seem to be very difficult. He had only experienced one world and had already obtained more than 2,000 points. Although Charlie wasn’t sure what level these 2,000 or so simulation points were, he believed it should be enough for him to travel through one world. However, this also reminded him.

“I need to pay more attention to the next world and collect as many simulation points as possible…” This thought flashed through his mind, and he then looked around at his surroundings.

He was still familiar with the furnishings of the room. There was a layer of dust on the shabby furniture around him, but it didn’t look very thick, and he didn’t overthink.

From its looks, although time has passed, it has not passed for too long, which made Charlie a little surprised. He looked around and went over to check it out himself. Then, the surprise on his face became even more intense.

“At most, only two to three months have passed, and…” Charlie’s face was suddenly filled with shock and disbelief.

He clearly remembered that he had spent decades in the previous world. Logically speaking, in this world, a few decades was probably enough to make this house dilapidated and unable to be used anymore. However, there was just a pile of dust, and it wasn’t that serious.

This was a shocking situation. ‘Several decades had passed in the other world, but only two or three months had passed in the world of Gods?’ Charlie’s heart trembled, he did not know what to say. He initially thought he would have already changed his appearance even if he could return to his previous place. However, it was only two to three months, from the looks of it now.

‘There was probably not much change to the world of Gods in two to three months.’ Charlie couldn’t help but reveal a pleasantly surprised smile thinking of this.

“Is this the power of the Gods?” Charlie felt shocked.

He was clear about what the power that originated from the Gods meant. The flow of time in different worlds was different! A month in the time of the Gods was equivalent to more than ten years in the foreign world.

If that was the case, Charlie only needed to find a foreign world with a good environment and rich resources, and he could cultivate it to his limit and then return to the world of Gods. At that time, he would no longer have to loop up to the strong people he once looked up to.

What kind of opportunity was this? Charlie could not help but want to laugh out loud as he thought of this. Fortunately, he had some sense after all and barely resisted this imp. Then, he forced himself to calm down and left this place after thinking for a moment.

He did not miss this house. This place was not worth remembering at all to the current Charlie. He walked out without hesitation, as there was nothing valuable here. After leaving the house, he subconsciously scanned his surroundings with his spiritual power.

Before he traveled through the world, his power was feeble, and he could not observe much. However, he had already recovered his peak strength, and now his spiritual power was exceptionally strong.

With a slight induction, Charlie immediately covered the entire mountain village with his spiritual power, locking onto the people within a few miles radius. This was initially a subconscious action, a subconscious warning action of Charlie as a Great Mage. He did not think this mountain village would threaten him but was just a habitual action.

However, he quickly realized that something was wrong. There were many more unfamiliar life auras in this mountain village within the range of his spiritual power. These life auras were very powerful from the point of view of the situation in the slight induction. Each of them was an extraordinary existence, like an official knight. Their leader was even a Second Ring mage. Although a Second Ring mage was not strong in Charlie’s eyes, he was a significant figure to ordinary commoners. In the past, there was not even a trainee Life Knight in this remote and desolate area, not to mention a Second Ring mage. However, a few extraordinary existences were waiting here now, looked like they were guarding something.

Charlie became alert instantly. The scene before him was unusual. Something must have happened, and what happened next further confirmed one thing. It seemed that Charlie did not hide his spiritual test just now. The Second Ring mage instantly noticed something amiss. Those people quickly sensed this place and headed towards Charlie’s location through Charlie’s senses.

Charlie frowned, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood on the spot and looked at the people before him. Soon, a few figures slowly walked over under his gaze. They were a combination of two official knights and a Second Ring mage.

The Oro Empire was one of the most powerful empires known in the world of Gods. However, even in such an empire, a Second Ring mage was not something that could be found anywhere. One could easily dominate such a small place.

What attracted Charlie’s attention was the other party’s attire. The mage before him was wearing a purple robe, dressed like a traditional mage, but he exuded a unique pure aura as if he had some kind of divine power item.

“Someone from the Church of the God of Shadows?” Charlie frowned and thought as he looked at the mage before him.

The Oro Empire worshipped the God of Shadows, who, according to the legends, had stolen the Fire of Origin.

The Second Ring mage carried an extraordinary item with the God of Shadows’s power, and hence obviously, he was from the Church of the God of Shadows.

“Purple star mark…” The Second Ring mage in purple robe looked at Charlie, who was standing before him, and his face immediately revealed a look of joy. He directly attacked without any hesitation. Waves of magic power were mobilized, and a spell was cast, rushing forward. The space seemed to be distorted. It was as if a huge hand could not be seen and could not be found moving in the air. It grabbed Charlie’s body directly as if it wanted to crush him.

Charlie frowned as he felt the spell fluctuations around him. Mighty spiritual power was emitted the next moment. The space seemed to have stagnated in the surroundings, and it directly stopped. The two utterly different magic power fluctuations collided and canceled each other out, resulting in an explosion.

After the power of this spell had dissipated entirely, Charlie’s appearance was revealed before the eyes of the Second Ring mage. He was wearing the mage robe from before and looked at them coldly as if looking at a few ants.

That was indeed the case. To Charlie, a Fourth Ring great mage, the few people before him were not much different from ants. In the past, even if these people would even kneel to welcome him when they saw him. Yet Now, they dared to take the initiative to offend him. How sinful they were.

Charlie looked at the three people before him, and his eyes revealed a pure cold light. A mighty spiritual power emitted from his body in silence, rippling in all directions and directly rushing forward. For a moment, this area seemed to have turned into a still domain, completely under Charlie’s control. Anyone who was not as strong as him would be suppressed by his spiritual power, unable to use even a slight power. Sensing this mighty and terrifying mind power, a mage wearing a purple wizard robe revealed a terrified expression. He finally realized something. “You…” His voice stopped before he could finish his sentence.

A large hand reached out and grabbed him, blocking his voice abruptly. Instantly, the surroundings seemed to have stopped. Charlie looked at the three people before him. The spell began to operate. In an instant, the memories of the three people began to flow continuously in Charlie’s mind.

This was a spell to backtrack memories. As a Fourth Ring great mage, Charlie could naturally do this. However, he could only backtrack memories for a short period with his strength, and many details could not be seen. However, this was enough.

Charlie only wanted to know why these people attacked him. The God of Shadows was a God worshipped by the entire Oro Empire, and its power was very strong. However, such a lineup was not an ordinary figure for a Second Ring mage, even for the Church of Shadows. For no reason, such a figure could not have come to such a remote place.

Various thoughts flashed through Charlie’s mind, and then he began to flip through the memories of the three people before him. The memories of the three people began to flow and roll under his control.

Soon, Charlie understood the reason, “So that was the reason!”

After understanding why the three people were here, Charlie’s face suddenly became extraordinarily gloomy and sour. Just as Charlie had guessed before, the three people had come here because of the mark on his body. This mark seemed to have originated from the remains of a particular God. It spread a few months ago, appearing in various places and being obtained by different people. As the most significant force in the Oro Empire, the Church of Shadows and the Oro royal family sent strong people to search around. According to the impression of the three people, although the Star Mark was suspected to be a product left behind by a God, it could not bring about an immediate change in one’s body.

Moreover, it had another characteristic: when its boarding host died, it would immediately return to the mark’s appearance. It was this characteristic that made it possible to collect the marks.

The Oro Empire and the Church of Shadows searched for these marks within the entire Oro Empire. The three people before them were not clear about the specific reason.

I were

Regardless of whether it was the Oro royal family or the Church of Shadows, they had a rule regarding these marks. They were required to seal them immediately after obtaining the marks and could not use them privately. Otherwise, it would be a betrayal.

It was precisely why even the three people before them did not know about the function of the imprints. It was only through the examples of the others that they could see that these imprints could not immediately give people power. That was why they were relieved to come and hunt. The reason they had come here was also that they had tracked down a Star Mark. After checking, they had locked onto Charlie’s body in the end.

This was very normal. After all, this was a remote village before them. The people in it were all fixed. They could even tell at a glance who was missing. It was why they were able to arrive at the first moment. “So that’s how it is…” After looking through the memories of the three of them and understanding the reason why they had attacked him, Charlie’s expression immediately became gloomy.

He stretched out his hand and crushed their heads. A thick bloody aura emitted and shrouded the surroundings. Flesh and blood instantly flew everywhere. Some of the broken flesh and blood directly splashed onto Charlie’s body. However, Charlie acted as if he didn’t see it. He didn’t care at all. His face was gloomy as he pondered alone.

“There is more than one mark left by a God…” Charlie fell into deep thought, “With the abilities of the Church of Shadows and the Oro royal family, they have most likely noticed the ability of the mark…” As a great mage, Charlie deeply understood the power of the Oro royal family and the Church of Shadows.

That was a well-deserved overlord-level force in this world. He would not dare to provoke it even as a great mage. Such a force would be able to sense the powerful function of the mark and its preciousness at the first moment. Not to mention other things, just the ability to travel between worlds and travel to various worlds where time passed by could quickly nurture a batch of powerhouses.

Moreover, to the priests of the Church of Shadows, this mark was a great opportunity for them to spread their teachings to different worlds and cultivate the faith of the Shadow Lord. This mark was an absolute treasure to them that could not be let go of. No matter how crazy they were, it was not enough.

Charlie could already imagine the current situation. According to the scene in their memories, many people had already noticed when the Star Mark had spread. Unless the first batch of Star Mark owners were very lucky or had obtained sufficient strength during their first world travel, they most likely wouldn’t be able to escape the hunting of the Oro royal family and the Church of Shadows. In the end, they would only become the collections of these two forces.

“There were probably not many marks left now.’ Charlie was on guard as he thought of this.

He looked at the three corpses under his feet and looked around. Then, he turned around and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar village before him. A cold smile appeared on his face. He walked straight over and entered the village not long after.

The smell of blood that filled the sky continued to emit, shrouding the surroundings. For a Fourth Ring great mage, a mere mortal village would not take much time. It would be wiped out cleanly and neatly.

The purpose of this was naturally to stall for time. To Charlie, although these mortals were insignificant, if he kept them alive, the news of him killing these three people would be immediately discovered. Instead, he might as well slaughter the entire village and buy some time.

Before he left, Charlie deliberately found a young man’s corpse who looked similar to him and placed it before his wooden house to pretend to be his corpse. After making these arrangements, he cast a spell to seal off the aura of this area before leaving.

Leaving this place, he did not hesitate and headed straight for the border of the Oro Empire. Seriously speaking, Charlie was also a member of the Oro Empire.

Before his fall, he was a mage consultant hired by the Oro royal family. He was one of their own to a certain extent. Before obtaining the mark, Charlie thought he would look for his past acquaintances and seek their help after recovering a portion of his strength.

However, these plans were disrupted entirely now.
