Book 10: Chapter 119: Sacharro (1)

“You… You can’t mean that he was the one to draw this array…?”

Supreme Spiritual couldn’t stop the trembling of his body. He felt as though his entire world was collapsing.

Which genius of the soul path didn’t practice multiple professions? Didn’t even the Tower Quadrant’s Sapientia Quadrant have those white robed youths? How could Supreme Spiritual, a man who reached the pinnacle of the Mortal Plane, not also practice multiple paths?

Of course, there was a reason the taboo on array alchemy was in place. Many saw studying the two professions at once was too difficult – though this was obviously only a surface excuse levied by those lurking in the shadows toward its suppression. This was all to say that Supreme Spiritual’s formation knowledge fell far short of his alchemy, however, he knew enough to understand the level of attainments it took to hide something before the eyes of Higher Existences…

What Supreme Spiritual had no way of knowing was that Dyon had drawn this array with a casual wave of his hand. Even with his nonchalance, he never considered for a single moment that one of them would see through his creation. Dyon comprehension of array alchemy had long since left the scope of the Mortal Plane.

“This… This isn’t what’s supposed to happen… Someone distorted this timeline!” Apollos’ immature voice projected outward in a shrill.

The scope of his heavenly abilities wasn’t within normal margins. When it came to matters of time, he touched upon a level that had never existed from the beginning of existence to now. The fact that something had caught him off guard was completely unprecedented.

No… This wasn’t true… hadn’t he felt those uncomfortable itches for decades now already…? Ever since… Ever since the Sacharro Clan appeared for the Federation meeting!

However, when he received news that the Olympus Clan’s universe spirit had perished, he assumed that it was this matter that had been pulling on his heart.

But, who cared about a mere universe spirit past its prime? They could build up many more, there was no need to worry at all. In fact, he believed that this secret knowledge gave him a leg up on the Sacharros.

Dyon wanted to make the Emperor Giant Clan his trump card, but was it still a trump card if his enemies were ready and waiting for it?

This was the reason Apollos ignored that unpleasant feeling… he thought that everything was in hand already…

However, who knew that the wool had been pulled over his eyes? The Jafari Clan treasure, his achilles heel of so long ago, the very treasure that resulted in him tying himself to the Timeless Library so tightly, had actually been in the hands of his enemies all along.

The scenes of various timelines he had witnessed were distorted from the very beginning. The so-called clear future he had seen was only what his enemies had wanted him to see. He had actually been so thoroughly defeated after so many years… And the worst part was that his opponent couldn’t even be bothered to deal with him personally!

“Did I not already say that you weren’t fit to shine his shoes?” Luna’s smile disappeared, replaced by a practiced indifference.

She lightly waved her small hand. But, this minor gesture caused the atmospheric qi to boil to an unprecedented level of agitation.

Supreme Spiritual was smacked into the marbled throne room floor. His handsome countenance was completely devastated, becoming a mangled mess of displaced bone and flesh.

“… To have placed your sights on my daughter once more… Death is too good for you!”

“Supreme Heavenly!” Supreme Oracle called out. Her calm demeanor had shifted slightly. “Don’t go too far! This is still our Sprite Alliance.”

“Was it still the Sprite Alliance when you attempted to kidnap my daughter? How about when you commanded me to murder the father of my child? Or how about when you colluded with outsiders to hold me hostage?

“In which of these instances was this still our Sprite Alliance?!”

Luna’s voice boomed. Her rage was hidden behind an indifferent veil, but when she took action, the heavens themselves were at her beck and call.

Supreme Oracle felt an oppressive pressure descend upon her from above. Her knees couldn’t help but bend, leaving two spherical holes in the ground below.

“You are the worst of them.” Luna said without holding back her disdain. “You think yourself to be a voice of reason? Of compassion? You are nothing but the very dregs you claim to protect others from, a dirty stain on the very dignity you claim to have.”

Supreme Oracle had never been so humiliated in her life. Numerous emotions of rage, pain and embarrassment colored her features. However, remorse was simply not among them.

“What I’ve done, I’ve done for us to survive!”

“Survive?” Luna sneered, her hand swiping once more to force Supreme Armament and Earthen to the ground in a single breath.  

To come to this place to face her, they had entirely relied on Apollos. Now that very Apollos was stuck in a daze, countless timelines running through his mind as the backlash of his own abilities assaulted him severely.

“You know well that the first phase only allows those who have yet to experience a millennium to enter. You know even better that the reason for this is because those youths are our true hope. Yet, you sentenced the very best among them to death for nothing more than an attempt to control me.

“To survive…? Ha. Even a child would have more instincts toward survival than you do. After making such a foolish choice, you actually have the face to say such a thing?

“Just kneel here and watch the fruits of your choice. You’ve thoroughly enraged him.”
