Luckily, the God had fixed it before the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did Shang think about not seeing the God again until he became strong enough to fight him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God was not someone that interested Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only someone that Shang wanted to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny part of his Isolation Chamber had been left open, but Shang didn't feel like anyone was watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang touched the bandage that was wrapped around his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tool would help him a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang slowly stood up and walked to the exit of the Isolation Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the exit, stepped out, and put it back into his inner world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shang felt like hundreds of eyes had fallen on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over the next couple of seconds, the feeling faded substantially until there was only a very weak feeling of someone lightly glancing in his direction remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the huge Isolation Chamber suddenly disappeared, all the Spirit Senses of the Bolts near the central area looked over since it was quite conspicuous for such a huge object to vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Shang, they lost interest and looked away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the trial, Shang wouldn't have been able to feel all these gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang also looked around with his Spirit Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour ago, the God had killed Lucin, and half an hour later, Shang had killed Queen Primordium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire trial had only taken about half an hour, which meant that one hour had passed in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened in the last hour?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, the world didn't look much different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was that there were far fewer visible Bolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang could only see around two of them with his Spirit Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thanks to the new bandage, Shang knew that there were far more Bolts. These Bolts just didn't show themselves to the Clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang avoided inspecting all the different Clouds since Clouds could feel the senses of others as long as they were not far more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang looked around for a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't know what had happened, everything would seem normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang took out his Communication Crystal and tried to contact Lucin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\" Lucin answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For just a moment, Shang's mind stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, he realized that this was probably not the real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mages were probably using advanced Magic to make it seem like Lucin was talking through the Communication Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like something is going on,\" Shang said. \"I feel like something happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, listen,\" the fake Lucin said with a bit of annoyance. \"You're inside the Hibye. What can possibly happen? I'm currently busy with something. Is there something you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang didn't say anything for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind,\" Shang said. \"I'm going to ask my teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" the fake Lucin said before cutting the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Shang tried to contact Queen Primordium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The owner of the Communication Crystal can't be found,\" Shang's Communication Crystal said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fake Lucin might have put a tiny hope into Shang's mind that the God had faked their deaths, but when he heard that, that hope was obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the message that appeared when someone was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, something surprising happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a high-ranking officer died and someone rang their phone, wouldn't every investigator and colleague of that high-ranking officer immediately look at the person that tried to contact them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, absolutely no one looked at Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This told Shang the current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't know that Queen Primordium was dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As of now, only Lucin's death was known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang realized that his current situation might become problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he simply didn't do anything and they found out that Shang had tried to contact Queen Primordium, they might decide to investigate him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have to act natural,' Shang thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang decided on an approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, he tried to contact Queen Primordium again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some minutes, he tried it one last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, he contacted Lucin again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shang, I'm busy. What do you need?\" the fake Lucin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't reach my teacher,\" Shang said. \"She told me that I could reach her whenever. She even gave me the aura of her personal Communication Crystal. Yet, the Communication Crystal only gives me the same message as when someone died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five seconds of silence passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who was your teacher again?\" the fake Lucin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shang's aura became unstable for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he had faked that reaction since this was how someone would react to such a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang could imagine how, in the last five seconds, a team of several Mages went through all the relevant documentation and information regarding Lucin to find out who Shang's teacher was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there had been no documentation regarding Shang's teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it,\" Shang said before cutting the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Shang felt powerful eyes looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang acted like he wasn't feeling anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he just motionlessly stood in one location for a couple of seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Shang took to the skies and flew towards the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes watching Shang never vanished, which meant that the person impersonating Lucin was still watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of seconds later, Shang arrived in front of someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven't seen you in a while,\" Fleros, the person responsible for resource acquisition for the Clouds, said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's aura was tense as he focused on Fleros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to go to the Lightning Manor,\" Shang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleros blinked a couple of times in surprise. \"You? Why?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it matter?\" Shang asked. \"How much for an escort to the Lightning Manor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleros looked at Shang with a concerned and uncertain expression. \"I can't just let anyone enter the Lightning Manor. You should ask Lucin for permission first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Shang answered. \"I need to go to the Lightning Manor without Lucin's input.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This entire thing is specifically because of Lucin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleros frowned. \"What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't tell you the specifics,\" Shang said. \"This is something that goes far beyond my power, and the fewer people know, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just bring me to the Lightning Manor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleros looked at Shang with furrowed brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he looked around a bit before contacting Shang via voice transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what you're talking about,\" Fleros transmitted. \"I can only tell you this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something happened, and we know about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1084,"2026-06-06T04:07:23.276Z",1,"novelbin.me","1605223ce160f5329c925dbca5159b92604ccd609404071af32a51a859e27b5c","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-1006","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-660",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
