A Great Menace Ahead

"Still, it doesn't matter. The Divine Land Alliance most likely had that psychic user capable of Future Sight make a move. But every so-called Future Sight has all kinds of limitations. It's far from omniscient; the visions it reveals are as vague and fragmented as divine revelations."

"This also means... there's still room to make adjustments."

Lin Sen lifted the hood concealing his face, exposing a handsome face with a refined air to the Viridian Forest air.

Pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses with no lenses, Lin Sen revealed an eager smile.

"Now, let's see whether dear Mr. Champion finds me first in this vast Viridian Forest, or whether the death I spread reaches farther first."

It was a pity that Aokigahara Forest, his intended destination, had been utterly destroyed by the previous incident. But fortune and misfortune went hand in hand. The Viridian Forest was more expansive than Aokigahara Forest and brimming with vitality, making it an excellent alternative.

With a turn of his wrist, Lin Sen took out a Poké Ball. The long-lost thrill made him grin wildly. "Good child, the plant energy in this garden is so rich that even I was taken aback. Once you absorb it all, you'll be one step closer to reclaiming your original power."

"If the scent of death becomes dense enough, it might even draw the attention of the God of Death sleeping in the skies above."

As though responding to Lin Sen's words, the dead leaves covering the figure that had appeared outside Wonder Garden's plant walls rustled softly.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Watching the leaf in his hand crumble into debris at the slightest rub, Su Hao frowned deeply, his thoughts a mess.

Rather than having simply withered, it looked more like the product of years of erosion and weathering.
