Chapter 1162: The Second Destructive Heaven, Valkyrie Armament (I)

Inside the room, Amitya slipped off her gown, revealing a smooth, pale back that looked almost perfect for cupping. Of course, their relationship hadn’t reached that level of intimacy. The purple-haired girl still wore a white chest wrap and training shorts.

The reason she removed her outer clothing was because on her back, a palm-sized golden light screen slowly appeared, shaped like a pair of outstretched wings. Within the light screen, golden runes revolved. They resembled both a complex rune array and the intricate circuits of some profound device.

These golden runes bore some resemblance to the script of the Ancient Civilization. Chen Chu recognized a few of them; some represented "light," others "space," and still others contained special powers such as "distortion," "summon," "void," "fire," and "lightning."

Amitya looked back, her crystalline violet eyes shining with expectation. "Chu, I need your help."

Chen Chu nodded and placed his palm against the solidified golden wings formed from her ability.

Hum!

The wings trembled faintly, releasing a powerful suction force. Without resistance, they began to draw energy from Chen Chu’s body.

Yet with the energy he contained, even a single wisp was enough to overfill the wings.

Boom!

Golden lightning burst across the sky, spreading like an expanding web of light. Everything within the room was annihilated by the domineering force contained in the thunderbolts. The entire house followed, collapsing under the violent, leaping arcs of lightning.

Amid the roaring winds and shockwaves, the golden wings expanded to ten meters wide, unfolding behind Amitya and making her appear like a radiant angel. Then, with a sudden contraction, the massive wings folded inward, enveloping her completely. She was cocooned within a radiant shell of light that shone brilliantly.

Inside the cocoon, the circuit-like runes began to evolve and rearrange, combining to form the Valkyrie armament that would be compatible with Amitya. Chen Chu’s pupils shifted into vertical slits of black and gold, arcs of purple-gray lightning crackling across them. A monstrous fluctuation of will emanated from his body. Around them, the vague projection of a bronze bell appeared, vast as a world of its own, isolating time and space.

Time was short. Chen Chu’s eyes blazed as his right hand pressed onto the cocoon, arcs of condensed black will flickering from his palm and sinking into the light. His consciousness shook faintly, and endless streams of information flooded his mind.

Through the moment of Amitya’s Valkyrie awakening, Chen Chu touched the structure of this world’s power. It was complex, mysterious, a net that enshrouded all creation. However, he quickly shut out the distractions, focusing instead on the cocoon enclosing Amitya.

In a breath, he discerned its fundamental structure. From his palm, black light pierced into the cocoon, condensing into runic sequence chains formed by millions of runes. These merged into the cocoon, forming six ring-shaped black markings.

Each line represented a different power. He reversed the principal and secondary roles of the contract, adjusted the distribution ratio of ability power gained from slaying monsters, and even helped refine the module combinations of the Valkyrie armament. With Chen Chu’s realm and his understanding of principles, even minor adjustments were enough to amplify Amitya’s soon-to-be-awakened Valkyrie armament by dozens of times.

All of this took place in an instant. Suddenly, Chen Chu’s eyes flickered. Above the heavens, clouds churned, and the sky split open. A rift ten thousand meters long appeared, like a heavenly eye itself. From its depths, a power carrying overwhelming heavenly might descended.

"It’s here." Chen Chu’s gaze hardened. The chaotic bronze bell that had been shielding the surroundings shrank abruptly, vanishing into his body. The golden-black pupils in his eyes also faded away.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heavenly Dao’s might descended. All nine-star and above powerhouses in Valkyrie Academy felt their wills quake, their bodies sinking as they turned to the sky in alarm.

"What’s happening!?"

"Why has the world's will descended all of a sudden!?"

As Fiorina and the others cried out in shock, that vast will swept over the land, enveloping both the glowing cocoon where Amitya was awakening and Chen Chu standing beside it. However, due to the self-sealing suppression of the Chaotic Bronze Bell, the instinctive reaction of the world's will detected nothing unusual. With only a trace of doubt, the will receded. The rift in the sky closed silently, as if it had never been there at all.

Looking up at the vanished rift, Chen Chu’s lips curved into a faint smile. The bell, which contained a branch of the Principle of Quake, not only excelled in destructive power, but also possessed formidable sealing force. While its suppression of enemies wasn’t absolute, it was highly effective at suppressing and concealing itself.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the night, streaks of figures arrived swiftly from all directions. Isabelle and several students appeared first, large illusory beasts at their sides. Then came Fiorina, followed by a group of women in their thirties and forties.

The newcomers spread out, all eyes locking on the golden cocoon surrounding Amitya.

"It’s Amitya. She’s awakening her Valkyrie power." Several students who had just summoned their beasts looked on with envy.

A blue-haired woman, radiating a powerful aura, frowned at the cocoon. "Was that earlier phenomenon caused by her?"

Fiorina shook her head. "Unlikely. Valkyrie awakenings do cause commotion, but not enough to trigger the world’s will." Subconsciously, her eyes drifted toward the black-haired youth standing beside the cocoon.

The only one she couldn’t see through was him. Still, since this "king of illusory beasts" could form a contract and descend from the outer heavens, he should be fine.

Lost in thought, Fiorina turned to the other students who had gathered. "Those not from the Illusory God Division, disperse. Don’t disturb Amitya while she constructs her Valkyrie armament."

"Let’s go, nothing to see here."

"With all that noise just now, I thought someone had broken through to a nine-star Valkyrie."

"Same here."

Murmuring to each other, the students who had been drawn by the collapsing house gradually left. Before long, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Fiorina, Isabel and the others from the Illusory God Division. Chen Chu stood silently at the side, but his attention was no longer on them.
