Chapter 2639

After the incident concluded, everyone returned to the hotel.

Theo had already gone ahead while Clint still needed to handle a few matters. Only Nash and the remaining four were left in the hotel.

Nash woke up to the sound of a ringing phone. He answered the call. To his surprise, it was Fogort on the other end.

"Hello? What's up? Why didn't you just come knock on the door?"

Fogort replied, "Sorry, but I've already left."

Nash sat up suddenly. "Left? Where to?"

"I don't know. I'm just wandering around."

"Did Whistler and the others leave too?"

"They didn't. It seems they have something they don't want me to know. I'm fine with it, but I wanted to chat with you before I go anywhere else."

"Sure, let's talk."

"Master Calcraft, I want to confirm something. You currently possess both the Heaven-Shaking Tome and the All Souls Token, right?"

Nash nodded without hesitation. "Yeah, what about it?"

"Do you understand the significance of that?"

Nash replied confidently, "I think I do. I'm the heir of the human emperor..."

Fogort corrected him, "You should say you're the new human emperor." "Okay, and then what?"

Fogort suddenly said softly, "Now, try to see if you can still use your previous powers."

Nash felt puzzled but followed his suggestion, channeling true energy in his hand. "Nirvana Fire! Shura Sky-Piercing Spear! Third Eye!"

After trying for a while, his body showed no signs of change. He said to Fogort, "I can't use them... What's going on?"

Fogort explained, "The concept of reaching the pinnacle... Master Calcraft, what do you think that means?"

Nash replied, "Becoming the strongest and the most powerful?"

Fogort agreed with his assessment, "That's quite close. Let me ask you this. If you could use these top-tier abilities, would you still resort to those lesser techniques?"

Nash thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Unless those techniques are extremely dangerous, I'd probably abandon the others."

"Exactly. You possess two types of ritualistic weapons, and your body still retains the true energy of the other powers.

"The Heaven-Shaking Tome has temporarily disabled some of your techniques to regulate the cycle of true energy in your body and ensure balance, which is why you can't use them."

"I see..."

"Alright, Master Calcraft, I don't have much advice left for you. Let's just say, you're no longer the kind of person I can comprehend. I now understand why I couldn't grasp your fate.

"Of course, that's no longer important to me. Master Calcraft, here's my last piece of advice—no matter what, the Six Ritualistic Weapons are still the Disaster Magnet. Remember that."

After that, Fogort hung up. He stepped to the roadside and hailed a cab.

"Where to, sir?"

"Let me think..."

...

Back in the hotel, Nash ended the call and sat on the bed, lost in thought. Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door.

Nash opened the door to find Whistler, Aurora, and Linden standing outside.
