Chapter 256: Insanely Hard
A large group, just over two hundred people, quietly made their way onto the member planet of the galaxy.
Right away, Darian, Lucius, and Lucy activated their powers. Ever since the twins got their second ring, their strength had multiplied — along with their usefulness.
Now, they could help keep Darian’s dark power stable on everyone, letting the cloak grow thicker around them all and stopping the Risen Commanders from sensing them from too far away.
After fighting for so long and devouring tons of dark karma, Darian could spend a good chunk of energy to do this — but with so many people, the cloak would’ve scattered fast without the twins’ help.
Darian nodded once he saw everyone ready. As he focused on the surroundings, he suddenly felt Niara’s heartbeat speed up.
’Dan! The Heart of Nature is reacting... something here is connected to it.’
Darian was caught off guard by that. Connected? On this dead, corrupted planet?
He took a deep breath. Maybe it was an opportunity... or a disaster. But if Niara was sensing it this clearly, he could at least calm down a bit.
’Let’s move carefully toward the center. Stay focused on feeling that connection,’ Darian murmured, and she nodded.
The group moved quickly. Darian was way more powerful now than when he’d invaded the previous member planet. He could sense all the Risen in a much larger area — and in much greater detail.
