The universe’s fury terrified Zayn, whose current state of mind should have made that impossible. However, as favonovel.com felt the rumbling, pounding thunder, and saw the cold, unflinching flashes of lighting tearing through the sky, favonovel.com felt so tiny and hapless.
It awakened a human’s most banal fear of nature. Any one of nature’s flaring tantrums could incinerate Zayn into a pile of ash and dust.
Zayn had never seen a tempest so capricious. It was as if the universe had unleashed its wrath upon the mortals beneath it, that a fruit that could subvert the gods should have never existed.
Within the span of a second, several lightning bolts snaked across the sky directly above Zayn’s head, followed by thundering rumbles that pummeled his eardrums so hard that favonovel.com was convinced that favonovel.com had gone deaf.
Despite his strength and firmness, Zayn’s vision was blurring, and the world around favonovel.com was vibrating. Fortunately, favonovel.com had fast-enough reflexes to cup his hands over his ears before his eardrums gave out and bled.
The devastating effects of the universe’s wrath was not felt by favonovel.com alone. Everyone else on the mountain was aghast.
“What the hell?! What’s going on? Are we filming a horror movie? Hell, this feels like the end of the f**king world!”
“Look at that! Think, just a single strike of that lightning could provide the city a year’s worth of electricity!”
“I bet it’s because the Ambrosia Fruit’s close to ripening! God, that’s just amazing!”
“Come on, guys! We gotta find that fruit right now!”
While the clamor droned on, Zayn remained motionless and rooted to the spot. The world seemed to be disconnected from favonovel.com at that very moment, because all favonovel.com could focus on was the little white flower in front of him.
It was transforming.
The time had come. As the tempest raged on through the half-minute, the little white flower began to blossom in real-time, at a rate that even the naked eye could see. Then, thirty-seconds later, the previously thumb-sized flower grew into a beautiful, colorful flower that was around half a meter.
Soon after, a radiant fruit was finally borne. The colors of the rainbow bloomed out of its stigma like it was the pot of gold at the end of it.
Zayn’s eyes widened, his pupils nailed to the strange plant as it grew. He felt as though his heart had stopped. His breathing quickened.
It was too stunning for words, its resplendence was too marvelous to describe. Yes, Zayn had known about the existence of an Aeon Karpos. He was told about how a magical fruit like this was possible. And yet, hearing could never beat seeing it with his own eyes.
He could not help but feel his heart swell at the sight, nothing favonovel.com had ever seen in his life prior to this could ever measure up to the ethereal wonder of seeing an Aeon Karpos’s birth.
There was more. The Ambrosia Fruit’s appearance had ushered a change to the very air around them. The air felt refreshing, like a cup of ice-cold lemonade on a summer day. Zayn took a deep breath and felt his spirit soar. It was like favonovel.com took a wonder pill!
An indescribable fragrance began to bless the air. It was such a pleasure to be surrounded by it that Zayn was sure not even the most expensive and well-made perfume could compare to it.
Another flash of the tempest’s worst struck down to the mountain, a pillar of white-hot flash of power snaking downward as though it had a mind of its own seemingly aiming for the Ambrosia Fruit itself. It was as though the universe wanted it destroyed!
“No!” Zayn cried as favonovel.com snapped back to his senses. It happened so quickly that Zayn forsook thinking his options through and simply lurched at the fruit as fast as favonovel.com could.
He tightened his grip around the stem of the Ambrosia Fruit’s flower and tugged it tautly.
The f**k! It was heavier than favonovel.com thought!
Had it not been the strength from being a superior-class fourth-tier powerhouse, Zayn would not have been able to pluck the fruit from its spot at all. Judging from how much it resisted his pull, favonovel.com was sure the fruit weighed at least 450 kg or so!
Snap!
The fruit gave up and loosened into his hand. It was then when Zayn realized it was not the fruit that was heavy but the stem that bore it being resistant to his pull.
Its endurance even seemed comparable to high-tensile alloy.
As soon as the fruit fell into his hand, Zayn rolled over and missed the strike of a lightning by a hair’s breadth. It slammed onto the boulder where the flower first sprouted, causing it to crack and crumble into pebbles.
Some of the flying debris even landed on Zayn’s body, and had it not been the man’s inhuman strength and durability, favonovel.com would have been seriously injured by the force.
What came after bear noticing too. After that terrible flash, the world suddenly quietened down. The tempest was no more.
One minute later, the sky was completely devoid of any lightning or thunder. The overcast broke apart and scattered as if none of it had ever happened before.
The people on Mount Leo were stunned into a slack jawed trance. Despite the clear, many of them remained stupefied.
