?For thousands of years, the members of the Pantheon Guild on Mount Olympus have considered themselves the most faithful followers of the gods, teaching their disciples the most orthodox methods of becoming Soulmancers.
The Pantheon Guild is located on Mount Olympus, the place closest to the gods, and each temple within the guild is adorned with carvings of the Olympian gods. It is the birthplace of ancient Soulmancers, making the Pantheon Guild the undisputed leading guild in the Soulmancer community, possessing the most valuable resources.
Moreover, five years ago, the sea god Poseidon descended and personally instructed the Soulmancers of the Pantheon Guild, significantly boosting their strength and hinting at a return to their former glory.
With the recent anomalies occurring on Earth, the Pantheon Guild could not simply stand by. Many of its members have traveled around the world to save people, but they still regard Mount Olympus as their own backyard.
In the past, when Soulmancers from other guilds visited the Pantheon Guild, they at least needed to make an appointment rather than just showing up unannounced.
The Pantheon Guild is protected by a magical barrier that prevents uninvited guests from entering.
The only change now is that, with the global anomalies, the animals near Mount Olympus have undergone significant transformations. Arcane Village, located at the base of Mount Olympus, has become a direct destination for many Soulmancers, bypassing the Pantheon Guild.
The commotion caused by Walker and Amy last time was significant enough, their duel causing tremors in the mountain. The Pantheon Guild sensed it but did not comment.
But today…
Over a hundred formidable fighters flew through the sky, forcing the Soulmancers of the Pantheon Guild to take notice.
Even though humanity now faces a common enemy, internal conflicts among humans are ever-present. The grand arrival of the Emerald Lion Guild at Mount Olympus immediately prompted an Elder of the Pantheon Guild to intercept them in mid-air.
“Garen? What is your guild doing here with so many people?” Alexios of the Pantheon Guild floated in mid-air, single-handedly stopping Garen and the members of the Emerald Lion Guild.
Garen, who had been humble and respectful in front of William, now had a breakthrough in his swordsmanship and did not regard ordinary Soulmancers highly. He nodded slightly and said calmly, “I’m leading our guild members to support Arcane Village and to study at the school there. Do you have any objections?”
“Support for Arcane Village?” Alexios frowned, hovering in the air with a massive Crystal Orb floating in front of him, emitting the aura of a Demi-God level warrior. “We at the Pantheon Guild can handle these Mutated creatures around Mount Olympus ourselves. We don’t need the Emerald Lion Guild interfering. Please, everyone, go back!”
To ordinary people, these Mutated creatures might seem ferociously abnormal, but to the Soulmancers of the Pantheon Guild, they were merely beasts.
Aren’t Mutated creatures also resources?
Since the era of the gods, Mount Olympus has been the territory of the Pantheon Guild.
How could they allow another guild to snatch away their resources?
As for the base at Arcane Village, in the eyes of the Pantheon Guild, those superhumans are ultimately just ordinary people.
At most, they are ordinary people with awakened abilities, a bit more powerful.
They could tolerate them establishing a base under Mount Olympus and helping some ordinary people, but it was a completely different matter for the entire Emerald Lion Guild to come here.
Both being Soulmancer organizations, with hundreds of guild members rushing to Mount Olympus, was this an attempt to take over Mount Olympus?
This was something the Pantheon Guild could not tolerate.
Seeing Alexios release the aura of a Demi-God level warrior again, with a tone clearly meant to intimidate, Garen simply smiled and said, “It seems that the Pantheon Guild does not welcome us.”
After speaking, Garen produced a wooden sword in his hand, his gaze cold, saying, “Are you trying to challenge me to a duel?”
As an Elder of the Pantheon Guild, Alexios certainly had some strength, but Garen had once witnessed William using a sword and had grasped some of William’s secret sword techniques.
With the swing of Garen’s wooden sword, Alexios’s face turned pale, and the giant Crystal Orb in front of him trembled mournfully.
There was no need for a duel,just the oppressive sword aura released by Garen was enough to prevent Alexios from making a move!
“Garen, is the Emerald Lion Guild looking to start trouble?”
Alexios now realized that Garen’s strength far surpassed his own, and if it really came to a fight, he might die.
But the dignity of the Guild could not be challenged,it must be defended to the death.
Garen laughed and said, “I have no intention of causing trouble. I’ve already said, I came here to learn with our guild members. If you insist on stopping us, I don’t understand your reasoning.”
Seeing their guild leader so dominant, the members of the Emerald Lion Guild felt quite proud.
Mount Olympus, the strongest Pantheon Guild in the world?
Hardly!
“President, in my view, the Pantheon Guild is just all bark and no bite. Since we’re already here, we might as well find a place to stay. Why not have the members of the Pantheon Guild make some room? It’s about time the title of the world’s strongest Soulmancer guild was passed on.”
“Yes! President, Mount Olympus has always been a place rich in energy, once the dwelling of gods. Naturally, it should belong to those who are capable. The members of the Pantheon Guild are so weak, it’s shameless for them to occupy such a treasure land.”
The members of the Emerald Lion Guild didn’t really care about the rampant Mutated creatures here.
A powerful Soulmancer, even when facing Mutated creatures, at least has no problem ensuring their own safety.
On the contrary, in the current environment, Soulmancers thrive, their abilities improving rapidly. They even feel that this is the era that belongs to Soulmancers.
They will become true gods, and by then, those Mutated creatures won’t be a big deal. Once they become stronger, they can save more people.
Many ordinary people might die now, but at least not all will perish.
Having endured life and death hardships, when they save these people like gods, they will be truly grateful.
Now, making the Emerald Lion Guild the number one guild in the world, in the future, the entire Soulmancer community will look up to them, and people will worship them as gods.
Just thinking about it feels wonderful.
Garen originally came just to learn, but hearing his guild members talk like this, his own desires began to grow…
Who wouldn’t want to expand and glorify their own guild?
The fact that Mutated creatures are rampant is already established, but if he could unite the Soulmancer community and lead them to conquer the world, what a great and glorious achievement it would be, surely to be recorded in the annals of history!
The more Garen thought about it, the more excited he became. With a slight tilt of his wooden sword, he took a deep breath and said, “Why don’t you ask the president of your Pantheon Guild to come out and have a talk?”
“Garen, do you really want to challenge our Pantheon Guild?” Alexios’s gaze turned cold as he said, “Humanity is in the midst of a crisis, and you still want to stir up trouble.”
“Disasters will eventually pass, but some matters can also be dealt with along the way.” Garen stood in the air, truly like a deity.
With such a commotion in the sky, everyone in the Arcane Village base looked up. So many powerful beings flying in the air
—were they here to help?
Commander Samuel had mentioned that members of the Emerald Lion Guild would be coming to the Arcane Village base.
William stood in the office corridor, looking up at the sky, wondering whether Garen was here to learn or to cause trouble.
Well, it didn’t seem very important.
Let’s just watch and see how it unfolds, like watching a drama.
Some students were still standing on the playground, also looking up and starting to discuss among themselves.
“Is that guy holding the wooden sword the president of the Emerald Lion Guild?”
“I heard his swordsmanship is the best in the world!”
“I heard there’s another Master who is the best, even more powerful than Garen!”
“Stronger! It’s hard to imagine!”
