Chapter 530 Stanley
Narma, with his kind eyes and benevolent expression, looked at Jonathan. Then, with a gentle smile, he said, “Young man, you've finally arrived.”
Jonathan was slightly taken aback. He suddenly felt that there was a profound meaning in Narma's words. What did he mean by 'you've finally arrived'? Could it be that he knew in advance that I was coming?
Jonathan immediately asked, “Did you know in advance that I was coming here, Master Narma?”
Narma said, “Your cultivation has now reached the level of perfection. With Astro Scepter, even Theos Lynn is no match for you. At this moment, your only task is to find your remaining companions. Therefore, how could I not know that you were coming to find me?”
A jolt went through Jonathan's heart as he suddenly realized something. “Could it be that when Nathaniel and others went to ask Lynn for help, they were actually assisting me?”
Narma smiled lightly and said, “That's not quite right. I simply went with the flow. There's a sage in your main world named Zyaire Lynch who once said, 'Align oneself with the natural flow of the universe!”
Jonathan asked, “Are you saying that if this isn't my destiny, Lynn would've killed me? Or that if I didn't, I would've been captured and brought to you by Nathaniel and others for you to kill me?”
Narma said, “That's right!”
Jonathan said, “I think I understand now.” He paused, then added, “So, Master Narma, will you be willing to help me find my companions? Rest assured, once my companions are found, I will repay this
favor!”
Narma said, “There's no need for that, young man since you've already come and you possess such skills. It's merely a small effort on my part. There's absolutely no reason for me not to help you!”
“Thank you, Master Narma!” Jonathan couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Narma said, “Share with me some information about your companions, and I will deduce their location for you using the compass!”
Jonathan then revealed Mabel's full name, date of birth, and so on.
Where exactly have Mabel, Beatrix, and Walrion gone to? Were they together? Those were the questions Jonathan wondered.
The truth was that the three of them had always been together.
Moreover, since the three of them entered Moranta, it was as if they had been thrown into hell. When they fell onto Moranta, before they even landed yet, a Big Handprint appeared out of nowhere, grabbing all three of them.
Subsequently, Mabel and her two companions lost consciousness.
When they woke up, Mabel and her two companions found themselves in a pitch-black cave.
This cave was vast, and there are countless people around it.
All those people appeared to be extremely weak. They were all young men and women, but their faces were pale, devoid of any hint of life.
Mabel, Beatrix, and Walrion were together and woke up quickly.
The cave was filled with a strong smell of sweat, which greatly surprised Mabel, Beatrix, and Walrion. They quickly stood up, intending to leave the cave.
Just as they reached the front of the cave, they could already see the light from outside.
However, just then, the invisible giant hand appeared once again, directly seizing the three of them in its grasp.
Mabel's group couldn't resist the power of the hand, despite being considered top-notch experts in the boundless universe. However, under the force of that invisible giant hand, they were incredibly weak, with absolutely no power to resist.
Next, Mabel and her two companions detected a sudden brightness before their eyes.
The giant hand grabbed the three of them and took them outside the cave.
Their location was a grand canyon beneath a cliff!
Surrounded on all sides by mountain walls, the towering cliffs were hundreds of meters high, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Moreover, the cliff was covered in thick ice, making it virtually impossible for anyone to climb.
However, the climate of this canyon was not cold, and the sunlight was quite intense.
At that moment, it should be noon with a temperature of twenty-eight degrees Celsius!
Despite such temperatures, this ice refused to melt. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Everything there seemed strange and eerie to Mabel, Beatrix, and Walrion!
They wondered what kind of power the giant hand possessed.
“Ignorant mortals!” Just then, an image of a colossal human head suddenly appeared in the sky above the canyon.
The person's head was as mystical as Barsm Sage, filled with an aura of wonder. His long hair cascaded down, and his face was stern yet perfectly proportioned.
He looked at the three of them, Mabel and her companions, with contempt.
“Oh my god!” Mabel's group was shocked, and they turned pale.
They reacted to the head that appeared out of thin air as if they had seen a ghost. It unnerved them greatly.
“What kind of person are you? Are you human or a ghost?” Mabel couldn't help but blurt out.
“I am the Divine Sovereign, Stanley!” the man declared.
“Stanley?” The same question surfaced in the minds of the three. What the h*ll is this?
“Why have you brought us here?” asked Walrion in a deep voice.
Then Stanley said, “I was just monitoring Moranta when I suddenly sensed the three of you tearing through the void from the main world. You three possessed the purest blood, just right to serve as my supplement!”
Upon hearing these words, Mabel's group felt a chill run down their spines.
Stanley spoke again. “However, there's no need for you to worry for now. I will only come to draw your essence on the full moon night of the next month, which is the fifteenth. This will help me achieve a flawless body. During this month, behave yourselves and don't harbor any thoughts of rebellion or escape. Otherwise, you'll suffer consequences you can't bear! You should realize that no one can save you here, and there's absolutely no chance for you to escape!”
After Stanley finished speaking, the invisible giant hand appeared again, pulling the three of them back into the cave.
Mabel's group felt that ignorance was bliss. It was because after they became aware of the situation, they felt unwell.
They were aware that Stanley's power was astonishingly formidable and that there was absolutely no chance for them to triumph. Moreover, they were surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides. Thus, it was impossible for them to escape.
Furthermore, they had no idea where they were or what situation they were in. Hence, it was even more unlikely that anyone would rescue them.
Ultimately, the only thing Mabel and her two companions could do was wait for death and despair.
There was no chance of salvation for them, even in death.
As such, every second was a torment for Mabel and her companions as they waited for their deaths.
Every morning, Stanley would bring some wild fruits for everyone to share. After doing so, he would not come again.
Mabel had hoped for a miracle more than once in her heart. In such torment, they waited until the fifteenth day. Mabel said to Beatrix, “Jonathan has always been good at creating miracles. Do you think he may suddenly appear to save us?”
Beatrix and Walrion couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
Walrion said, “His Majesty is indeed an absolute genius, adept at creating miracles. However, there's an old saying in Chanaea, which goes, 'Pure, unadulterated strength can trump anything.' The power of Stanley is no longer human power. No matter how clever His Majesty is or how many methods you think of, there's no way to deal with Stanley. It'll be better if His Majesty doesn't come. If he does, it'll be a one-way ticket for all of us to death!”
What Walrion said only deepened their despair. Mabel and Beatrix were left speechless, unable to
refute.
Mabel sighed, saying, “I know in my heart that this is impossible. Not to mention Jonathan couldn't possibly have the ability. Even if he did, he wouldn't know that we've been captured and brought here.”
Beatrix said, “Perhaps this is our destiny. Jonathan and Yeverie's fate is different. They managed to come here without being captured by Stanley.”
Different people indeed had different destinies!
“No one can save us. All we can do is wait for death!” At that moment, a man in white spoke faintly. His body was weak, his face pale. After hearing the conversation of Mabel's group, he couldn't help but speak.
As soon as he finished speaking, he started coughing violently.
Unable to contain himself, Mabel asked, “Who exactly is this Stanley? Why has he captured us?”
“You really don't know who Stanley is?” The young man in white expressed his surprise.
Mabel's group shook their heads.
The gentleman in white said, “Stanley was the leader of the dark magician clans in ancient times. He was the renowned Dark Sovereign.”
“Ancient times?” A question popped up in Mabel's mind. What's the 'ancient times' he's referring to? And what the heck is a 'Dark Sovereign'?
“What on earth is this place?” asked Walrion.
The three of them finally realized that the place they landed in didn't seem to be the boundless universe they thought it was!
The gentleman in white said, “It seems you know nothing. Who exactly are you?”
After a moment of contemplation, Walrion briefly shared his background.
“You're not from around here, then?” said the gentleman in white.
“Where are we?” asked Walrion.
The gentleman in white then patiently explained the origin of Moranta.
At that moment, the rest of the people there were on the verge of sleep, not caring about what was being said over there.
A realization finally dawned upon Mabel and her companions - they had truly arrived in a peculiar space.
Subsequently, Mabel and her two companions came to know that the gentleman in white was named Royven Trump.
“Mr. Trump, why has Stanley brought us here?” Mabel asked Royven.
A bitter expression appeared on Royven's face. He said, “During the Divine War, Stanley's physical body was destroyed. He relied on his magic item, the Astro Scepter, to consolidate his primordial spirit and eventually escaped here. Over the past few centuries, he has gradually reformed his physical body by relying on this blood-sucking ability. After these hundreds of years of cultivation, Stanley's power has increasingly approached its peak. Now, I fear that even the most powerful beings in Moranta, such as Theos and Narma, are no match for him.”
He paused for a moment, then said, “That's why I say, if we fall into his hands, we're done for. No matter who comes, they can't save us. The only thing we can do is wait for death,”
“By the fifteenth of next month, he will have achieved his flawless form!” Royven spoke. “When that time comes, he will go to Pollerton Tomb to reclaim the Astro Scepter. Once the Astro Scepter is back in his hands, Moranta will bow and tremble under his feet. We are just cannon fodder and stepping stones on his path to success!”
Upon hearing Royven speak in such a manner, Mabel's group sank even deeper into despair and sorrow.
Mabel couldn't help but sigh with melancholy. She said, “I never thought I would go through so much...”
