Chapter 164: Farewell
"Also, what you do is up to you. I can only tell you one thing: trust in your own strength, not in others."
"Now, I must vanish. This fragment of my consciousness will soon be gone."
With those words, Rexfit's figure disappeared.
That left Enzo momentarily confused.
What did Rexfit mean?
Trust in his own strength?
But Andrew was incredibly powerful, his oppressive presence even stronger than the previous Rexfit.
How could Enzo possibly overcome such an opponent?
In Enzo's soul world, Beast God Rexfit stood under a tree, gazing up at the vast cosmic starry sky, lost in thought. He eventually remarked, "What a monster."
Rexfit was not merely observing stars.
On the day the Ring of the World Ritual was established, Enzo's soul world also changed. The stars began to move along specific trajectories, creating infinite variations—fundamental rules of the world's operation.
That was the domain of deities.
Rexfit, who claimed to be a Beast God, was recognized as such by those who knew of him. However, throughout, Rexfit had never revealed that his so-called status as a Beast God did not equate to being a true deity.
At most, he possessed some divine power.
A true deity controls the rules of the world and can perform incredible feats that defy common sense, like making water flow uphill.
These were things Rexfit was unable to accomplish.
But now, he saw this within Enzo's consciousness world.
This made Rexfit incredibly excited.
He walked under the tree, withdrew his gaze, and murmured to himself, "This time, I'll help you one last time. I hope that when you become powerful, you'll be able to bring me some rewards."
As he spoke, Rexfit's eyes bled.
Meanwhile, at the Crimson Star Tribe camp, Enzo suddenly felt intense pain in his eyes, followed by a message left by Rexfit: "The Eye of All Things can perceive the breath of all things."
This was also an extraordinarily powerful ability.
The moment Enzo received the message, he understood how to use it.
In the next moment, complex patterns emerged in Enzo's eyes. These patterns emitted inexplicable fluctuations, analyzing the entire world. Everything Enzo saw was completely transformed.
It was also at this moment that Enzo sensed the infusion of power from the Ring of the World Ritual and understood the meaning behind Rexfit's words.
"Trust in your own strength…"
"The Ring of the World?"
A surge of enlightenment filled Enzo's mind. He began to absorb the power accumulated by the Ring of the World with all his effort. This power circulated within his body, gathering and compressing continuously.
When the gathered energy reached a certain level—
A new change occurred!
It was a force that was extremely gentle yet carried an unmatched domineering aura. It was like the sun. Sunlight gives warmth, but the sun itself is not something one can approach easily.
Andrew was astonished.
He looked at Enzo and noticed the changes in him, murmuring to himself, "There's actually such a thing?"
Andrew became intrigued by Enzo.
After absorbing all the power accumulated from the Ring of the World Ritual, Enzo finally looked at Andrew and said, "Today, you can't take Amy away!"
Andrew smiled again, this time very gently. He said, "Young man, you should learn to be humble. I admit that you have good talent and the power you've displayed is impressive, but that doesn't give you reason to be arrogant."
Then he turned to Curtis and said, "Curtis, go and knock some sense into him."
"Yes!" Curtis responded promptly, "Lord Andrew, I'll make sure to complete the task!"
With that, Curtis charged forward.
His massive frame smashed through the trees and houses in his path, his claws raised high as he prepared to strike Enzo with a powerful blow.
"Let's see how you die!"
Curtis thought viciously.
But this time, it was unexpected.
Black wings emerged from Enzo's back. Although Enzo was only a fraction of Curtis's size, he managed to grab one of Curtis's claws with both hands and then executed a powerful shoulder throw, slamming Curtis hard into the ground.
Immediately, Enzo soared into the sky and then quickly descended.
The unparalleled speed and immense strength resulted in a severe blow to Curtis, who let out a whimper as he lay on the ground.He spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth.
Curtis struggled to his feet, but it was futile.
Seeing this, Andrew's expression changed.
For the first time, anger appeared on his face as he said to Enzo, "I underestimated you, but this ends here. Fall down!"
With that, flames erupted into the sky.
These flames gathered together, forming an incredibly terrifying fireball that shot directly at Enzo. At the same time, a huge fireball appeared in front of Enzo. When the two fireballs collided, the shockwave destroyed many buildings in the Crimson Star Tribe's camp.
Damn it!
Enzo's anger intensified, and his aura grew even more terrifying. His body was covered in wounds, caused by energy tearing through him.
Andrew couldn't help but shout, "Kid, are you crazy?"
He continued, "If you keep this up, even if you manage to injure me, you won't survive yourself! And I'll recover from my injuries in no time!"
These words did not make Enzo stop.
However, Amy, having heard them, ran toward Enzo and said, "Lord Enzo, stop."
Confused, Enzo asked, "Amy, why?"
With tears in her eyes, Amy replied, "Lord Enzo, I don't want you to get hurt. And I'm only going to the Snow Fox Territory for a short while. Amy will always be Lord Enzo's, and we will meet again."
As Enzo was about to speak, Amy turned and addressed Andrew and his group, "I'll go with you, but you must ensure the safety of everyone in the Crimson Star Tribe! Also, you need to compensate for the damages caused!"
Andrew, eager to end the conflict.
He approached Enzo and replied, "Princess, I will certainly follow your orders."
He then looked at Enzo with a hint of admiration .
"You're quite impressive. "
"Here, I can assure you that Princess will face no harm or injustice once she returns to the Snow Fox Territory. Staying here would only cause her bloodline to waste away, which would be a huge loss."
"This,consider this as compensation."
Andrew said that, handing over a Level 6 giant crystal and a beast-blood refining Occult Art.
Enzo still hesitated.
But Amy made the decision for him at this time.
She took the items from Andrew and shoved them into Enzo's hands, hugging him tightly as she said, "Lord Enzo, I'll be fine. Once I'm strong enough, I'll come back for you, and no one will be able to stop me!"
Andrew didn't seem bothered by this.
He smiled and said, "Kid, only the strong have freedom. I hope you understand that."
He added, "There's still some time before we leave. "
"Princess, you can say your goodbyes to your friends."
Amy nodded, feeling a sense of uncertainty about her fate.
Enzo's expression softened slightly, but a strong determination surged within him—he needed to become stronger!
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the Crimson Star Tribe gradually returned to its usual peace, but an unusual atmosphere was palpable. All the tribe members were training intensely, and many were repairing the houses.
Every person was burning with fighting spirit.
Andrew and his group's appearance made the Crimson Star Tribe realize one thing: even though they were the most powerful tribe in the surrounding area, they were not invincible. If they were to encounter people like Andrew and Curtis again, their tribe could be destroyed in an instant.
They too needed to grow stronger.
Amidst this atmosphere, the time for parting soon arrived.
Enzo prepared numerous supplies and handed them all to Amy, saying, "Amy, don't worry. I'll come find you."
This was Enzo's promise.
Amy nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Enzo, goodbye!"
With that, Amy turned and tears fell from her eyes.
Andrew opened the space portal and said earnestly, "Princess Amy, don't worry. Snow Fox Territory is a warm place, and you'll come to like it. Also, if you become strong enough, you can always return."
These words provided some comfort to Amy.
However, Andrew did not reveal the full truth. In his view, although Enzo had some talent, it was insignificant compared to Amy's royal bloodline.
Becoming sufficiently strong was not a short-term endeavor.
According to Andrew's estimate, Amy would need at least twenty years to reach the level of strength Curtis currently possessed and to qualify for leaving Snow Fox Territory.
Twenty years was a long time.
By then, Enzo might have already grown old or even passed away.
This was the power of time.
It could easily erase everything, including seemingly steadfast emotions.
But this was information Amy did not need to know.
As the space portal disappeared, Amy and Andrew's group left the Crimson Star Tribe completely.
At that moment, Freya also approached.
She was there to say goodbye as well.
But unlike Amy, her departure was only temporary.
Melissa handed over a special bone staff, engraved with unique symbols and embedded with a low-level giant crystal.
She then spoke.
