As the system’s voice faded, Martin felt a warm surge erupting within him.
At its onset, this warmth radiated outward, permeating every limb and fiber of his being, evoking a peculiar tingling sensation.
His skin, muscles, organs, and bones all felt this tingling, rapidly strengthening and undergoing profound transformation.
Then, this warm surge flowed towards his brain.
Martin felt his consciousness elevate rapidly, transcending his physical body, piercing through clouds, breaking the atmospheric barrier, and amidst the vast silence of space, he witnessed the faint blue glow scattering across the surface of the planet.
Shortly after, his consciousness descended swiftly, meandering among the clouds and the atmosphere.
Every breath of air, every droplet of water, every bolt of lightning seemed to gain consciousness because of him, turning into little sprites that cheered jubilantly for their creator.
A bizarre power suffused Martin’s body and soul, suggesting that with mere intent, he could command winds, rains, and lightning.
A natural epiphany emerged within him—
"This is spirit power!"
"This is transcendence!"
As clarity dawned, a wealth of knowledge regarding the usage of spirit power gushed forth in his mind.
While adept at manipulating the Power of Meteorology, his abilities were not just limited to that.
When Martin opened his eyes, he found himself still standing in his room, in front of the table with the cake whose candle’s warmth lingered from being recently extinguished.
A slight clench of his fist and the familiar feeling of frailty from before had vanished, replaced by an overwhelming strength coursing throughout him.
Spirit power is a force birthed from and acting upon both the body and the soul.
Thus, beings with spirit power aren’t fragile mages as in games, but true combiners of battle and magic.
However, different supernatural beings have their distinct areas of expertise.
The hierarchy of supernatural beings is defined by their spirit power level.
Level 0 represents a quasi-supernatural being, possessing a faint spirit power, albeit incomplete. But at level 3...
Martin reached out and grasped the edge of a three-centimeter-thick table, exerting a smidge of his strength. It instantly crumbled to pieces.
Witnessing such formidable power for the first time, Martin himself was taken aback. He knew he hadn’t used his full strength.
After testing his physical prowess, he approached the window and opened it.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The clamor of rain inundated the room.
Extending his arm towards the night rain, with a mere thought, his spirit power unleashed like a dam breaking, pouring out in abundance.
"Whoo..."
A gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside.
Martin’s hair flew backward, his clothes fluttering, papers on the walls swaying, some even chaotically swirling around the room.
Furrowing his brow, Martin expanded his control radius.
100 meters... 200 meters... 1 kilometer...
The wind he summoned grew stronger.
Martin gritted his teeth, yearning to gauge the full extent of his capabilities.
2.5 kilometers... 2.8 kilometers... 3 kilometers...
"I’ve reached my limit."
Feeling his internal spirit power nearing a boiling point, Martin immediately halted its flow.
The wind ceased instantly, and the chaotic room found its peace.
He extended his hand out of the window, testing.
Not a single drop of rain fell; the sound of rain had vanished without a trace.
"Having the Power of Meteorology makes controlling the weather significantly easier than for other supernatural beings."
"However, due to the limitation of my spirit power level, I can only alter the weather within a 3-kilometer radius, and only for a certain duration. Once the spirit power dissipates, everything returns to normal."
"Still..."
Martin broke into a joyous grin, "This is genuine transcendent power!"
Calming his excitement, Martin summoned the system interface.
[Host: Martin
Organization Name: Divine Shield
Organization Level: 0 (0/200)
Organization Wonder: 0]
[Initial Task 2: Place the first organization wonder - Divine Shield Headquarters (Secret realm type, 600m x 600m, immutable). Reward: Organization experience 100, random reward.]
"Note: Organization wonders come in two categories."
"The first is the Secret Realm type. This refers to functional organizational areas that are still operational, such as the organization’s headquarters."
"This type of wonder exists in a separate dimension, and its placement does not impact the real world. Only members of the organization can access it using specialized methods."
"The second is the Relic type, representing abandoned organizational buildings or landscapes."
"A relic wonder will appear directly in the real world, accessible to the general public. Its main purpose is to enhance the historical depth of the organization."
"Lastly, regardless of the wonder type, the host can adjust its age and detailed appearance at will to align with the organization’s history and style."
"Once placed, however, the system no longer offers this service. Any subsequent modifications must be handled by the host."
As the system detailed its features, Martin’s heartbeat gradually intensified.
Organization wonder!
The possibilities it offered were vast.
Initially, naming his organization Divine Shield was merely to fulfill a vision, to manifest it in the real world.
But now, it seemed there was much more he could accomplish.
What primarily determines history?
Archaeological discoveries!
What would happen if a relic of the Divine Shield organization from over a thousand years ago appeared before the world’s eyes?
Perhaps "Light Knight", a fictional novel, would instantly become non-fiction.
The image of an ancient supernatural organization, existing since time immemorial, silently guarding humanity, would emerge in the minds of all who discovered it.
Martin’s excitement grew with every thought.
Throughout history, few in this world have been without desires or aspirations.
Although now a supernatural being, Martin had long been an ordinary person who faced many challenges.
Remaining untainted by darkness was already a notable feat, but one couldn’t expect him to be devoid of personal desires.
He too wished, beyond mere survival, to achieve something significant, to contribute to humanity and realize his life’s worth.
And now, such an opportunity stood before him:
To establish an ancient Savior Organization, nurture a team of supernaturals, and lead them in battling monsters to save the world!
