Chapter 786 - Void. Soul. Conquer.

ALL PORTIONS OF THE ANCESTRAL TOMB

"Rumble..."

Compared to the emotions that Asteria felt while she was being reprimanded, the anger that all the Travelers had against their new foe was understandably greater.

After all, they had no idea about this sudden change in the situation, and the fact that none of their Guides were helping them made things worse.

Traveler Talia was definitely feeling this way, and her agitated mindset just worsened as seconds passed by.

"Why does my Guide have to be silent this time? Does he not know that he’s supposed to help me out here? Damn it, why don’t you show yourself!"

Traveler Talia could only mutter these curse words as she strained against the hand grasping her, which was inexplicably pushing her body inwards, as if it wanted to crush her into a ball.

" Argh!"

Her ’infallible’ Void Essence did nothing to help her, with her Void Shifting abilities directly sealed by the hand’s pressure alone. As for the book that she summoned with her Void Essence, it too was easily crushed along with her body.

"Argh!"

Surprisingly, this sensation of crushed brought great feelings of pain on the woman, who panickedly tried to perform more escape techniques.

"Argh!"

But no matter what abilities she used to escape, this female Traveler found no way to free herself.

"Argh!"

She even twisted the space around her, as if she was trying to access a dimension that she can use against her captor. This said dimension almost appeared behind her for a second, but it was quickly crushed before it could touch her.

This failure naturally made Talia panic more, who now has her body halfway on getting squished to a pulp.

"S**t s**t s**t!"

"I am a Sixth Stage Void Being, which means that I should be able to access the whole powers from my Void Compendium... That alone should have allowed me to escape, since Void Beings like me are the best escapers in the Multiverse!"

**************

While Traveler Talia was worried about her situation, a Traveler who was just near her was anything but panicked.

This Traveler was Iskanor, who seemed to be only mildly worried about his captivity.

In fact, this person’s current attitude made it apparent that he only viewed his situation as nothing more but a mild inconvenience to him.

"...These pesky opponents of mind should have just stayed dead. Why are they still making an effort to live? Are they these foolish?"

"It is pretty obvious from the start that these hands are too powerful for us to fight against. Since this is the case, then it will just be better for us to conserve our energy for later. Using our energy now when it won’t even work will just worsen things for us...."

"Just fight back when you are sure that you could fight!"

"But if you don’t want to do that, then all of you should just continue struggling like that. Maybe that will make your deaths more bearable..."

Iskanor’s words was as confident as they could be, and the way that he smirked as he was dragged along made him even look more confident.

It was as if he was sure that he could survive this encounter, and that the only ones that should be worried are his ’opponents’.

"Heh, these filthy creatures may have caught me for now, but what he only got was my physical body. My soul is just under his loose grasp, so sooner or later, I can easily find a way to be free from this."

"All I just need is time, and I am pretty sure I can obtain that later..."

Whether someone heard what Iskanor was saying did not matter to him at all, as he decided to only focus on his own escape plans, which just like what he said, all revolved around his special constitution.

"As the most talented Spirit Warlock in my generation, I have a lots of techniques for situations like this. Add my very special Supreme Spirit in the equation, and there is nothing for me to worry about anymore."

"All that I have to be worried for now is my slave..."

"Speaking of my slave, where the hell is she now?"

**********************

Just a few hundred kilometers away from these aforementioned Travelers, there is another Traveler that could be seen, and she was also held captive like the first two.

But unlike Traveler Talia who was panicking, and unlike Traveler Iskanor who’s pretty calm, this current Traveler was anything but that.

"I am destined to be a great Empress. I am destined to rule countless galaxies under my might. I am destined to be worshipped by all."

"That is my destiny, so there should be nothing that can hinder my path."

"But what is happening to me now? Did I already get so weak that a mere hand has managed to capture me? Is this how an Empress like me should be treated?"

"Hell no! This is not how things should be!"

"I am Empress Shi Xingyun, and everything should bow before me!"

Shi Xingyun, who the other Travelers knew as someone with the overbearing Conqueror’s Aura, was vainly saying these words as she used all of her power to free herself.

Streams of golden beams flew out from her Golden Throne, with each beam filled with the power to manipulate the very fabric of Laws themselves. Such power should be enough to allow her to destroy anything, including the hand that is grabbing her right now.

But just like all the other failures, these golden beams had no effect at all. They only dissipated after making contact with the hand, leaving the Empress with nothing but an exhausted power pool.

This rendered her full of anger, with her overbearing pride taking a large hit.

"F**k! I am the Empress, so everything near me should follow my will! That includes these hands, which should be prostrating to me already!"

"But instead of following my commands, these hands actually dare to disobey me?"

"How dare they!"
