Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints - Chapter 694 694: The Light of Hope (Final Chapter)
A purple light streaked across the sky above the Atacama Desert.
The trail of the light split open the air, creating a rift. Countless twisted, evil souls and horrific, screaming abominations poured through the rift. The entire Atacama Desert was enveloped by the evil god’s power.
The last remaining untouched area of the Ethereal Grove finally fell to ruin.
Under the purple light, deep within Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis, Isolde, Charles, and Kent the High Priest were making their way toward the deepest part of the underground region.
Kent the High Priest carried with him the ancient texts left by the Serpent.
These texts guided them along the right path.
“Hurry! Time is running out! We must reach the ancient array before the evil god’s minions arrive!” Isolde urged the others.
Charles knew the urgency of the situation, so he kept close behind Isolde.
Though Kent the High Priest was panting heavily, he understood the gravity of the situation.
The three of them moved as fast as they could toward the underground depths, while the evil god’s minions surrounded Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis.
General Sost and Zara looked grim as they watched the monsters and cowards who had sided with the evil god surrounding Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis.
They had made up their minds to fight to the death.
At the front of the group was the strongest of them all—Everett.
As a high-level Beast Master, Everett had grown even stronger after gaining the evil god’s power.
He sneered and shouted.
“Stop resisting! Your resistance is meaningless. The great god has bestowed his blessing upon us! Bathing in the god’s blessing is the only way forward.”
No one paid any attention to Everett’s words.
Of course, Everett didn’t expect his shouts to succeed.
He turned his gaze to Anke by his side, and with a command from Anke, the members of the Ancient Academy who had allied with the evil god launched their attack on Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis.
Other minions of the evil god joined in the assault.
The battle on the outskirts of Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis had begun.
As the battle erupted, Charles, Isolde, and Kent the High Priest finally reached the ancient ruins.
The ruins were surrounded by a powerful curse.
To activate the ancient ruins, they would need to enter the area with the most concentrated curse energy.
In response, Charles summoned Mousie.
As a god-level mystical beast, when Mousie took the form of the Dark Demigod, it was capable of resisting the curse’s power.
“Go to the center of the array! I will do my best to buy you time. All you need to do is release your power of hope!”
Before Charles stepped into the ancient ruins, Isolde spoke in a serious tone.
Charles didn’t reply, but he nodded firmly.
Then, under the guidance of the Dark Demigod, he entered the heart of the ancient ruins.
The moment Charles stepped into the ruins, the overwhelming curse power began to consume his body completely.
The only reason he didn’t die instantly was that he temporarily shared the divine-level status of the Dark Demigod.
As Charles reached the very center of the ancient ruins, Kent the High Priest didn’t hesitate to read aloud the information written on the parchment.
A series of incomprehensible voices echoed in Charles’s mind.
The ancient ruins began to rumble, and with a violent shaking, they started to rotate endlessly.
“Now! Use your power of hope! It all depends on you!” Isolde shouted loudly at Charles.
Charles immediately closed his eyes.
He opened himself completely, and the Dark Demigod began merging with its master.
In addition to the Dark Demigod, the Savage Gold-Eater Beast with dual wings, the Light Dragon, the Wind and Moon Spirit Falcon, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Wolf, and the Chrono Rabbit all revealed their true forms.
The powers of different attributes mixed together, causing Charles’s body to glow with a dazzling rainbow of light.
This rainbow light form was also the most fundamental manifestation of the power of hope.
This meant that Charles’s potential to release the power of hope had greatly increased.
A smile finally appeared on Kent the High Priest’s face.
He felt the ritual was progressing smoothly, but Isolde wasn’t as at ease.
He knew things wouldn’t be so simple.
Just as the ritual began, a series of violent tremors suddenly came from above.
Then, two figures appeared not far from the ancient ruins.
These two figures were Everett and Harbor, enhanced by the evil god’s power.
“Didn’t expect you to still be alive! It seems fate has left you for me to kill,” Everett said coldly, glancing at Isolde.
Isolde didn’t respond. He immediately drew his weapon and attacked Everett.
Harbor, seizing the opportunity, quickly moved closer to the ancient ruins.
He pulled out the three artifacts he had acquired from the Stellar Empire.
“Although I can’t destroy the ancient ruins directly, these three artifacts will be enough,” he said.
With that, he hurled the three artifacts toward the ancient ruins.
Kent the High Priest stared in shock at what was happening.
He wanted to stop it, but his own strength was negligible, and he was too slow to act.
If the three artifacts hit the ancient ruins, they would destroy the ruins, and the entire ritual would be halted.
Just as the artifacts were about to strike, they suddenly seemed to be pulled by something invisible, flying off to the side.
Harbor glared furiously at the direction the artifacts flew.
He immediately saw a blurred figure.
“You people from the Ancient Academy really deserve to die. Fine, argue over resources in normal times, but during the evil god’s invasion, you actually chose to side with him. You people are even more corrupt than I am,” William said, stepping out of the shadows with a smile.
To everyone’s shock, he hadn’t sided with the evil god.
After the initial shock, Harbor quickly reacted.
He was determined to use his mystical beast to destroy the ancient ruins.
But as soon as his mystical beast was summoned, William killed it in an instant.
“Little one, even if you have the evil god’s power, you’re still no match for me. If I were you, I’d go after Isolde, because he’s already severely injured.”
While speaking, William’s gaze was fixed on Isolde and Everett.
Everett had indeed gained the upper hand, but he couldn’t finish off Isolde quickly.
Just as he hesitated, the evil god’s power surged again.
Though the ancient ruins blocked the evil god’s strength, the evil god still forcibly injected overwhelming power into Everett.
This made Everett far more powerful than anyone could have imagined.
He had become the most powerful Beast Master in history.
“My great master has bestowed upon me the most powerful strength! I will kill all of you! You will all become my prey!” Everett laughed maniacally.
Finally, he could take revenge on all those he had despised.
Almost simultaneously, the ancient ruins began to move faster.
With the combined powers of countless mystical beasts of different attributes, Charles suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes glowed with a rainbow of colors.
Countless streams of hope gathered within him, and with his divine status, he could now fully release the power of hope.
“No matter how much power you gain, you can never truly be called strong. The true strength lies within your heart,” Charles said calmly, gazing at Everett, who had been enhanced with the evil god’s power.
At this point, Everett had been completely twisted by the evil god’s overwhelming power. He no longer even resembled a human.
In disbelief, Everett looked toward the ancient ruins.
“This is impossible! The great god has destroyed the entire Ethereal Grove. How could you and your hope power possibly succeed?!”
“The power of the evil god may seem to invade in the form of monsters, but in reality, it is nothing more than endless pain, regret, distortion, and madness. These emotions are powerful, but they are also fragile.
When a person holds onto hope, pain, regret, distortion, and madness are naturally suppressed. And when everyone holds hope, these emotions will be completely wiped out. The evil god’s power will then be completely neutralized.”
As Charles spoke, an overwhelming surge of hope energy was released.
Wherever the hope energy reached, the evil god’s minions and the creatures it had created turned to ashes.
The places that had been destroyed began to rebuild, and the lands that had lost all vitality began to give birth to new life.
With the power of his hope, Charles successfully drove the evil god out of the Ethereal Grove. The breach in the Abyssal Great Wall was repaired by the immense force of hope.
Everett and all those who had sided with the evil god were not saved. They all turned to ash and were forever erased.
When the ancient ruins ceased their operation, Charles collapsed.
He didn’t know how long it had been, but when he woke up again, he found his mystical beasts lying around him, peacefully asleep.
Queen Aria of Serpent and Zara were sitting beside his bed, keeping watch.
Bright sunlight streamed through the window.
Isolde and Kent the High Priest were talking and laughing in the sunshine.
In the distance, the Serpents were playing, enjoying their newfound freedom.
Clearly, the world had been saved, and the evil god had been banished.
Using his unique power, Charles had saved the entire Ethereal Grove, and all those who had not sided with the evil god had been successfully revived with the power of hope.
