Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Chapter 263: Chapter263:Unable To Absorb



The pedestrians, feeling both angry and powerless, quickly moved aside.

What surprised the guards, however, was that Anarion didn\'t rush inside. Instead, he bent slightly and respectfully said to a young man behind him, clad in blood-red armor, "Lord Enzo, please go in first."

Enzo shook his head.

Enzo turned to Anarion and said, "Anarion, you don\'t need to do this."

But Anarion clearly wouldn\'t listen.

Once Enzo entered the city, Anarion continued on, and it wasn\'t until their group had left that the dazed guards snapped back to reality and began whispering among themselves.

"Who is that young man?"

"Young Master Anarion shows him such respect. Could he be a noble from some major place?"

"Best not to pry into these matters..."

The guards were curious but ultimately knew better than to overstep their bounds. Even though the Colombo family, to which Anarion belonged, was incredibly powerful, they were still just guards beneath their authority.

Angering the Colombo family could cost them their lives.

Once inside the city, Anarion perked up, the shadow of the Forty-Two Thieves fading away. He turned to Enzo and said, "Lord Enzo, I\'m very familiar with Ambera City. If you\'d like to explore, I can be your guide."

Rennes chimed in, saying, "Anarion has grown up in the city and knows it well. Since you\'re new here, it\'s best to have a guide."

Enzo nodded and replied, "Alright, let\'s go with that."

Hearing this, both Rennes and Anarion sighed with relief. Having Enzo, who could easily overpower someone like Forty-Two Thieves, as an ally would provide a powerful backing.

However, Enzo\'s next words wiped the smiles off their faces.

He said, "If I need anything, I\'ll come find you. For now, I want to explore on my own."

Anarion and Rennes dared not argue.

But their disappointment was evident.

Enzo ignored their expressions and chose to leave the group, casually picking a path to walk.

After learning about the crystals\' abilities, Enzo felt compelled to experiment.

From the moment he first encountered the green Telekinetic Crystal, a yearning surged within him, suggesting he might be able to consume more than one Telekinetic Crystal, or even other types.

This wasn\'t just fantasy.

It stemmed from his control over the Ring of the World, which encompassed multiple elemental powers. Despite the uniqueness of the three Telekinetic Crystals, none were as unique as the Ring itself.

Once this idea took root, it couldn\'t be ignored.

That prompted Enzo to leave in haste.

But just as he hadn\'t walked far, Anarion caught up and called out to him, hesitating before finally mustering the courage to ask, "Enzo... my brother, where should I go if I want to find you?"

Enzo couldn\'t help but chuckle.

He scanned the street and pointed to the nearby The Magic Horned Frog Tavern, saying, "If you want to find me, go there."

"I see."

Anarion nodded earnestly and happily departed.

Enzo then turned and entered The Magic Horned Frog Tavern. Meanwhile, Rennes and the others shifted their gaze back, with Rennes remarking, "I\'ve seen many strong individuals, but none exude the kind of pressure that Mr. Enzo does. I even suspect he might not be a deity."

This left the other guards in disbelief.

They questioned, "If he\'s not a deity, how could he so easily kill Forty-Two Thieves?"

Rennes didn\'t provide an explanation.

As even he found his own theory a bit far-fetched. It seemed impossible for anyone, no matter how talented, to be that powerful.

Yet, truth can often be surprisingly simple.

"Young Master Anarion, we should head back."

Rennes suggested at this moment.

He added, "The Ricardo family mobilizing such a large force only to be ambushed by Forty-Two Thieves is clearly unusual. They might be plotting something. We must inform our master."

Anarion nodded and replied, "Let\'s go home."

The entire city of Ambera is vast, and the Colombo family, where Anarion is from, is located in the northeast of Ambera, still a considerable distance from the southern city gate they entered. It took them a full five hours to finally return to the Colombo family manor.

At the Colombo family manor.

The family head, Colombo, who is also Anarion\'s father, was lounging in a soft fur chair, listening to Rennes\' report. Upon hearing news about Enzo, particularly that Enzo had effortlessly killed the Forty-Two Thieves, he could no longer remain seated and jumped up from his chair.

"Rennes, are you saying that Enzo did it all by himself? He killed the Forty-Two Thieves alone?"

Colombo was filled with doubt.

This was simply impossible, unless a deity intervened.

However, in the Fierce Beast world, there exists an unspoken rule--deities are not allowed to act against those of lower realms.

It is a strict law.

Some have defied it in the past but paid with their lives.

Standing next to Rennes, Anarion couldn\'t help but praise, "Father, you weren\'t there. You didn\'t see how powerful Mr. Enzo is!"

"With just a wave of his hand, a mighty thunder appeared."

"That thunder was a deep purple-black, and with just a light touch, it killed all the Forty-Two Thieves."

Rennes echoed, "Master, young master Anarion is not lying. I can attest to that."

Hearing Anarion and Rennes speak like that, Colombo couldn\'t help but believe that his somewhat naive son had encountered a genius like Enzo by sheer luck.

If only someone like that could lend a hand...

As the head of the Colombo family, Colombo instantly recognized the immense benefits of this situation, but he also kept a clear mind, understanding that maintaining a friendly relationship with Enzo was of utmost importance.

That was the foundation of everything.

He then asked, "Anarion, tell me everything that happened after you entered Ambera City in detail."

Anarion recounted the events truthfully.

After listening, Colombo laughed heartily, gently patting Anarion on the head, and said joyfully, "Anarion, you\'ve struck it rich! It seems that Mr. Enzo thinks quite highly of you. Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have allowed you to meet him."

"Now, tomorrow you should visit The Magic Horned Frog Tavern."

"As for the reason, it\'s because Enzo saved your lives, and you should present him with a token of gratitude. Even if Mr. Enzo is reluctant to accept, we must show our appreciation."

Anarion nodded, somewhat understanding.

Colombo then turned to Rennes and instructed, "Rennes, take Anarion to rest."

"Understood."

Rennes replied, leading Anarion away.

Once the two had left, Colombo\'s expression gradually turned serious as he muttered, "What on earth has the Ricardo family done to attract the Forty-Two Thieves...?"

On the other side, Enzo stepped into The Magic Horned Frog Tavern and immediately pulled out a purple Crystal Coin to book a spacious room. After entering and setting up a barrier, he took out the crystals he had seized from the Forty-Two Thieves.

Once again, he felt the intense craving from his body.

Thus, Enzo prepared to absorb the crystals.

The book he had found on one of the Forty-Two Thieves contained instructions on how to absorb crystals: simply hold the crystal in hand and channel the corresponding power to absorb it.

After more than an hour, Enzo finally stopped.

Holding a green Telekinetic Crystal, his brow furrowed tightly as he fell into deep thought.

"What\'s going on?"

"I can\'t absorb it?"

Indeed, despite the cravings he felt and following the method described in the book, the Telekinetic Crystal remained completely unresponsive.

This situation was entirely unexpected for Enzo.

After pondering for a moment, he muttered to himself, "There must be other issues at play. Or perhaps it\'s because I\'m not from the Fierce Beast world. The supernatural elements of this world are resistant to me."

"But that seems unlikely."

"According to Anarion\'s description, there are real deities in the Fierce Beast world. This should be a more advanced world than the Disaster World, and it must have knowledge of the vastness beyond the Starry Sky. Perhaps those from the Starry Sky also know about this world."

"Therefore, there\'s no reason these three types of crystals can\'t be absorbed by people from other worlds. There must be some other reason..."

With that thought, Enzo put away the crystals.

He lay back on the soft bed, relaxed his mind, and dispelled the unease of suddenly arriving in this world before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

He was awakened by a commotion outside. He opened the door to see Anarion, Rennes, and a man dressed in an opulent fur robe waiting outside.

"Anarion, you\'re here."

Enzo greeted.

Anarion hurried forward and pointed to the middle-aged man beside him. "Enzo, this is my father. I came today to thank you again, and I\'ve prepared a gift for you."

Enzo smiled and stepped aside. "Come in."

Anarion entered first, followed by Colombo. As Colombo approached Enzo, he bent slightly and expressed his gratitude, "Lord Enzo, thank you so much for saving Anarion. Otherwise, I might never have seen him again."

As he spoke, Colombo took out a small pouch.
