Extraordinary Power

In the hold, a box moved slightly.

The top was slowly pushed open.

His large, alert eyes darted left and right.

Gorilla.

It was indeed A Xing.

It grinned, revealing a very, very smug smile.

He was pleased with his own strategy and wit.

The plan was a great success.

But it's not time to completely relax yet.

Although he really wanted to run away and find Kang De, A Xing still felt uneasy.

It tilted its head and decided to wait a little longer, because it was not far from the island and it was afraid that Kang De would order the ship to turn around and send it back.

While Kang De probably wouldn't do that, what if he did?

So, let's wait a little longer.

It shifted its position, lying comfortably with a travel bag as its pillow.

This waterproof bag was a gift from Kang De, and it contained many other things that Kang De had given her.

There are several sets of clothes.

Kang De had previously said he would give Tina a few dresses, A Xing got angry, so Kang De later gave her several dresses as compensation—even though A Xing couldn't fit into them.

There were also lots of snacks, trinkets, and toys.

These are all treasures that A Xing has always kept.

In a few more days, when it's far enough, I'll go up and find Kang De.

That's what it was thinking.

It's only a few days, let's wait a bit longer.

It touched the steel bar lying to the side; wherever Kang De went, it would follow.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer.

Suddenly, a strange sensation swept through A Xing's body.

It felt as if we had left a dark and silent mountain cave.

The world has become vast, the world has become real, the world seems to have changed.

Suddenly, the A Xing felt a raging fire burning inside its body, as if something had changed within it. Then it felt very sleepy, and its eyelids began to droop.

Slowly, slowly, drowsiness washed over me.

The A Xing, still half asleep, grabbed the steel rod and held it horizontally in front of it. Living on the Holy Seal Archipelago, it needed to be vigilant at all times, so it maintained a defensive posture and fell into a deep sleep.

It had a very, very long dream.

In the dream, it grew taller and stronger, able to breathe fire and shoot lightning, possessing immense strength. It stayed with Kang De, protecting him at all times, and punched every wretched woman who tried to approach Kang De into a bloody pulp.

Kang De was overjoyed.

But the A Xing in the dream wasn't very happy.

Being taller, stronger, and more powerful is a good thing, so why am I unhappy?

What exactly went wrong?

The A Xing in my dream—I can't find the answer.

Kang De, sitting on the deck, shivered.

For some reason, he felt a chill.

Tina, who was beside her, said, "Are you a little cold? It's windy at sea, let's go inside the cabin."

Kang De smiled and said, "No need."

Come to think of it, he has never actually sailed far from home in his life.

After all, transportation is so advanced now; for long distances, you can take a plane, while taking a boat is too slow.

But Kang De had indeed wanted to take a cruise... Spending a week at sea sounds wonderful, provided he could book a large and comfortable room.

However, it's very expensive.

Cheap services are no good.

I had originally planned to go with Old Wang, but...

He sighed silently.

That was a long time ago.

Kang De turned to look at Tina, wanting to speak, but hesitated.

"You..."

He exclaimed in surprise, "You all look... a little different."

The girl smiled and stretched out her hand, a wisp of water mist swirling in her palm. The mist spun and condensed, eventually forming a water ball, which floated into the air as she gently raised her hand, transforming into fine mist that drifted away in the wind.

She winked and smiled, "Because we've already left the magic-suppressing area, and our supernatural powers have been restored."

Ah, it's a mage.

Kang De then looked at the knight.

Cleveland's body shone with a sharp and dazzling light, like a sword drawn from its sheath to chase the sun. The next moment, the sword was sheathed, and he transformed back into the humble and elegant Knight Star.

What is this? Holy light? Or Dou Qi?

It doesn't matter what it is, since it's the power of a physics-based profession anyway.

This can be learned gradually later.

That's not the most important issue.

Instead...

Kang De's heart began to beat faster.

Leaving the Holy Seal Archipelago and the area covered by the anti-magic domain, the return of extraordinary power means that the Goth People's combat strength has reached a new level.

But he was all alone.

In other words, the power advantage on the Holy Seal Archipelago no longer exists.

It could even be said that he is already at a disadvantage.

In other words, if the Goth People were to turn their backs on us here, the situation would become very bad.

This is an issue that must be considered.

He was ready.

When he went to the ship to unload the goods, he did some tampering with the ship. There were surprises hidden in those boxes, and insurance was in place. Judging from the current situation, the Goth People was very reasonable and sensible. Those boxes were never opened, which says something.

Even in the worst-case scenario, he has contingency plans. Traveling between worlds is his biggest trump card. If the Goth People turn against him, he can easily activate his abilities, set off a fire, cause an explosion, and then use his powers to return to Earth. He can come back after the ship sinks. In the past few days, he hasn't done anything else on Earth but welded something like a miniature submarine, basically a metal shell that can float on the sea.

When the time comes, he'll bring this thing back, crawl inside, and drift at sea in peace. He won't have to worry about food or drink. After drifting for several months, he'll surely see land. Every day when he returns to Earth, he can weld and build some things. A few months will be enough time for him to expand this miniature submarine to a comfortable size.

As for the Goth People, they can just go eat their ass in the sea.

He made thorough preparations before deciding to sail with the Goth People.

That's just a worst-case scenario plan.

At least in his observation, both Tina and Cleveland had extremely high moral standards and were willing to reason... As Civilization, he naturally preferred to deal with Civilization.

At least they are reasonable.

However, exchanges between Civilization also require reciprocity.

The situation is now that the Goth People have regained their strength, possessing both numerical and physical advantages.

And what about Kang De?

Having left the magic-suppressing zone, Tina and the others regained their supernatural powers. But what about Kang De?

He felt both nervous and expectant.

Tina seemed to read his mind and said softly, "Relax and feel it."

She was also looking forward to it.

Kang De received the inheritance at the Fire Thief Altar, which she witnessed firsthand. The recipient indeed possessed miraculous powers, even capable of using them on the Holy Seal Archipelago, which was extremely astonishing.

But how to put it... Tina always felt that compared to the magnificent, awe-inspiring, and incredibly vast altar, the enchanting skills that Kang De displayed on the Holy Seal Archipelago seemed somewhat unworthy of the grandeur of the inheritance ceremony.

That's still a very powerful ability.

It's even possible to become a world-renowned alchemy master in a short period of time.

But I always feel... it's still not enough.

I'm kind of looking forward to it.
