Chapter 84 - Bead of Thunder Punishment! Territory Skill!
All the Evolvers wore looks of terror as they looked up at the sky in shock.
“What’s happening? Is there another person who used a forbidden curse?” someone asked in surprise.
Another person thought nothing of it. “Don’t overthink. It’s probably going to rain; anyway, is a forbidden curse that easy to acquire?”
…
Very soon, the blessing ended. The crystal ball fell back into Link’s hands again. However, the aura currently radiating from the crystal ball was even more terrifying than before!
At the same time, a notification entered Link’s mind.

…
After reading this [Bead of Thunder Punishment]’s information, even a person as indifferent as Link involuntarily felt a surge of heat in his heart.
This item was too powerful! Just the ability to release a Legend-grade forbidden curse would probably cause countless others to be envious if they were to learn about it! So much so that numerous great forces would stir because of it. They would try to seize it, even if it meant breaking their heads.
Most importantly, this was a territorial treasure!
The bead’s passive skill, [Territory of Thunder], could construct a thunder field! If they were to place this precious bead in the center of the built city, the damage the blow could deal to someone if they were to attack the city could be foreseen!

For the Undead calamity that would be taking place in three days, this skill would be even better than the forbidden curse!
This territorial treasure was what Link currently needed the most. He wouldn’t exchange it even for a Myth-grade treasure.
With this, Link’s certainty of defending against the Undead calamity was undoubtedly much greater!
After placing the [Bead of Thunder Punishment] into his storage space, the dull sky instantly became a cloudless blue sky.
Link did not return to his room to rest. Instead, he looked in the southwest direction with his brows slightly furrowed.
Previously, Seraphim Yuna had communicated with him through her thoughts. Yuna told Link that a group of humans with unusual auras was in that direction and that they’d been watching the commotion the whole time.
“Link, did you find any problems?” Luo Xingyao—who was quietly watching Link from the side—asked this question out loud when she saw him frown.
“It seems that there are still people who refuse to give up their evil designs,” stated Link coldly and headed in the southwest direction.
Luo Xinghe, Luo Xinghe, and the others quickly followed.
Far out, inside a dilapidated building.
“We seem to have been found,” said a Temple of Light Elder in a low voice with slightly narrowed eyes.
A few more hints of nervousness appeared on the faces of some Temple of Light members. “That Demon Lord-like fellow is walking towards us!”
“He’s not thinking of attacking us, is he? It’s quite scary!”
The Son of Light, Ou Chen, shook his head. “He won’t. We did not set ourselves against him. Although Link appears to be ferocious, he’s usually very easy-going. I’ll go and communicate with him. Such a powerhouse must join our Temple of Light!”
“I’ve already done an investigation on him. I’ve done enough preparations, so even if it means begging him, I must make him join us this time.” Ou Chen looked full of determination and exhilaration. His eyes seemed to be sparkling.
He had already put the matter of being rejected by Link behind—the typical ‘once on shore one prays no more.’
“Cough cough.” A Temple of Light Elder’s face twitched slightly as he coughed. “Your Highness, we know you mean well for the temple. But before outsiders, you still have to take note of your bearing as the son of a god…”
Ou Chen had already gone downstairs before the Elder could finish, heading towards Link.
All of the Temple of Light’s Evolvers felt a slight headache. They could only chase after Ou Chen’s back and shout, “Restraint… Your Highness, you have to exercise restraint!”
…
At the empty space in front of the building.
Link had arrived, and he noticed that slightly familiar figure. “Ou Chen.”
Within seconds, all sorts of thoughts flashed through Link’s heart. Did the Temple of Light also participate in the various forces’ encirclement of Mingshi Hospital this time? But according to my impressions from my previous lifetime, the Temple of Light is considered to be an upright organization, even though not all of its members can be called good people. This is a little odd.
“Link, you still remember me? That’s wonderful! Have you made up your mind about my suggestion previously? In this brutal apocalyptic world, us humans ought to band together for warmth. Hence, joining my Temple of Light is absolutely your best choice!”
“You must know that my Temple of Light is an organization with a long-standing legacy. We have many ancient works left behind from the distant ages. They will definitely be able to help you advance as quickly as possible…”
Ou Chen rattled away, his whole face glowing.
“Cough cough!” The Temple of Light Elder really could not continue to watch on. He cut off Ou Chen’s words with a cough. This child is really too senseless. Can’t you see that the person is wearing an indifferent look and not responding to you at all? Will showing excessive passion toward an aloof person work?
The Elder gave the few people around him a look. The son of a god—who was embarrassing the Temple of Light—was immediately dragged away.
The Elder would personally negotiate with Link.
“You people want the City Building Token in my hands too?” There wasn’t much emotion in Link’s voice, and his expression was icy.
“No, no.” A chill rose in the Elder’s heart as he hurriedly shook his head. “As a matter of fact, we are actually here to lend you an arm, Sir. Who would have thought your skills would be so extraordinary? Before we even acted, you took care of Thunder Palace, World Society, and other organizations—truly amazing!”
The Elder said this with a serious countenance. His words were considered the truth too.
The Temple of Light’s senior members wanted to recruit Link after listening to Ou Chen’s report. Thus, they naturally wouldn’t allow him to die in the hands of the other gangs.
As for the City Building Token, this was also where the Temple of Light’s thinking was brilliant. If Link were to take refuge with them, the City Building Token would naturally become the Temple of Light’s possession.
They didn’t need to be villains at all.
“No need to speak about canvassing. Since you aren’t an enemy, let’s part ways here.” Link had no mood to wrangle with the Temple of Light. After confirming that they had no animosity, Link turned to leave.
Upon seeing Link leave immediately, the Temple of Light elder’s face instantly fell! This rascal isn’t playing his cards according to convention! Shouldn’t he make small talk for a while to build friendly relations?
“Hold on, my Temple of Light has a piece of information that I believe you will definitely be interested in!”
“Oh.” Link faltered slightly in his steps…
