Global Apocalypse: All My Awakened Talents Are SSS-level

Chapter 21: Chapter21-Arrival at Celestial Bureau

"I'll be there shortly."

Hearing Harrison's response, a wave of relief washed over Emma.

"Thank you for your support. We will dispatch a private jet to pick you up... at the utmost speed."

Harrison gave a subtle nod.

"I'll be waiting at the designated spot in Yarrow."

"Understood, we'll be swift!"

As the call concluded, Emma's projection gradually faded away.

Harrison paused in contemplation.

Since there were no further tasks in Yarrow, and the regulations of the Fire Underground Cave limited his entries, perhaps now was the prime time to depart.

His gaze settled on his accompanying swordmaster and skeleton king.

A plan began to crystallize in his mind.

The skeleton king could continue as his close attendant, while for the swordmaster... he had a more elaborate scheme.

In this manner, his accumulation of experience would significantly accelerate.

Harrison approached the swordmaster.

"Caesar, do you see that snow-covered peak?"

He pointed towards a majestic snow-capped mountain on the horizon.

It was roughly three hundred kilometers away from them.

The swordmaster nodded earnestly, though a hint of puzzlement lingered in his eyes.

With a gentle pat on his shoulder, Harrison said, "Using that snowy mountain as a reference, clear out all the monsters within a thousand-kilometer radius. After that, you needn't stay by my side anymore."

A fervent glint flashed in the swordmaster's eyes.

This was almost akin to granting him freedom.

"Really, master?"

Harrison met his gaze affirmatively.

"Indeed. But remember, only target monsters and mutated fauna and flora. As for other players, unless they provoke you first, refrain from acting."

The swordmaster nodded solemnly.

"I understand!"

Without another word, he swiftly dashed towards the direction of the snowy mountain.

Soon, his silhouette vanished from Harrison's sight.

The skeleton king, who stood nearby, wore an envious expression.

Its soul fire flickered a few times before settling down.

If the master were to discover even a hint of disloyalty in its heart, death would surely ensue.

However, it seemed Harrison sensed the skeleton king's emotions.

In a gentle voice, he said, "Perhaps one day, I'll grant you a mission of freedom as well."

The skeleton king's soul fire instantly brightened.

"Yes, master!"

...

In Harrison's mind, a bold strategic map was taking shape.

He envisioned that in the future, as his army of summoned beings grew, he would position the elite of various races in every corner of the world.

This would not only expand his realm of control but would also make leveling up a breeze.

Accompanied by the skeleton king,

At this moment, the streets of Yarrow bustled with groups of players.

Most had shed the initial confusion and fear.

Hiding at home was just a temporary escape. True warriors knew that the outside world held endless opportunities and challenges.

Harrison and the skeleton king weaved through the thriving streets.

The presence of the skeleton king, shining bright like a star in the night sky, drew countless gazes.

After all, such a summoned creature stood out, both in appearance and demeanor.

The onlookers couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and jealousy.

The aura of strength and the inherent privileges were beyond the reach of these ordinary individuals.

Harrison walked briskly until he reached a towering skyscraper.

Forgoing the elevator, he led the skeleton king directly to the rooftop.

There, amidst the chilly breeze, they waited for a solid three hours.

A black helicopter hummed overhead, descending from the skies above.

It dropped a rope ladder, and without hesitation, Harrison began to climb.

The skeleton king chose to gracefully drift into the cabin.

Inside the dimly lit cabin, apart from the drone of the rotors, two figures sat. Beyond the pilot was the familiar figure of Emma.

After a nod of acknowledgment between the two, Harrison took a seat by the window and closed his eyes.

The helicopter gently rose and headed in the direction of the Celestial Bureau headquarters.

After a moment of silence,

Emma, seemingly eager to break the stillness, asked curiously, "Harrison, what level are you at now?"

Slowly opening his eyes, Harrison replied, "I haven't reached Leo's stature. I'm currently only at level 25."

Emma was visibly taken aback by this revelation.

"Level 25?"

"Just how many monsters did you have to defeat to achieve that?"

"Celestial Bureau discovered an entrance to an Enchanted Realm. It's how Icethorn and Leo leveled up so quickly. Have you found one as well, Harrison?"

Taking a deep breath, Harrison opened his eyes wider.

An internal thought raced across his mind, "Enchanted Realm... Has Celestial Bureau really found it so soon?"

No wonder there were so many formidable players emerging from the Celestial Bureau.

One step ahead led to a momentum of advantages.

This train of thought overwhelmed Harrison.

In his past life, the existence of an Enchanted Realm was enough to stir a storm of bloodshed.

Unlike the abundant Underground Caves, the Enchanted Realms were exceptionally rare.

Even in his previous life, after 20 years of exploration, only 10 such realms were known worldwide.

Each Enchanted Realm was seemingly boundless. No one truly knew how many levels existed within each.

After clearing one level of an Enchanted Realm, a passage to the next would appear.

With every subsequent level, the strength of the monsters would double, but the drop rates and experience points they offered would be several times more than those of regular monsters.

If a power could claim such a realm, they'd have a never-ending stream of elite warriors.

Pondering this, Harrison was inevitably tempted.

If he could train within an Enchanted Realm, he could potentially reach level 30 in the shortest time possible.

Seeing Harrison lost in thought,

Emma couldn't help but wave her delicate hand in front of his eyes.

"Harrison, where did you wander off to?"

Coming back to reality, his gaze inadvertently met Emma's captivating visage.

For a moment, he was spellbound. The allure this woman held was undeniable, likely due to some sort of charm-related talent she'd awakened.

"It's nothing," he said. "Just lost in some thoughts. We'll discuss the rest when we reach the Bureau."

After speaking,

Harrison immediately began practicing his Meditation.

Meditation ensured a clear mind. The brief lapse when Emma had momentarily ensnared him revealed his vulnerability. He had to cast aside distractions.

He didn't want to be entangled or bound to this woman.

In this world, attachments and ties were the most perilous of all.

The helicopter flew swiftly.

After about four hours, it touched down on a lawn.

Emma, accompanied by Harrison and skeleton king, disembarked.

What came into Harrison's view was an awe-inspiring structure.

Spanning tens of thousands of square meters, the building was constructed from transparent glass, allowing a clear view inside.

Harrison could see numerous officials bustling about within.

Emma began to explain,

"This is the headquarters of the Celestial Bureau. Originally, this edifice was constructed by a corrupt official of Ravenspire as a safeguard against Ravenspire's potential sinking. He bought the land in Zephyrheim and spent over a hundred billion on this project."

"But after the official was apprehended in Ravenspire, the property was requisitioned by the Celestial Bureau."

Harrison nodded in acknowledgment.

"What would you have me do next?"
