A few tens of millions of miles away from Ephesus.
In the void of space, one could see a triangular obsidian white vessel that floated serenely with power and majesty.
It towered gloriously over one hundred miles in size, and it was filled with intricate inner compartments that currently had powerful life forms moving about.
At this moment.
A Sky Ruler came into the command room of this Vessel as he uttered out with an ashen expression towards a group of Void Rulers who were in a meeting.
“The Life Tablets of Void Ruler Maximus and his squad have all shattered simultaneously!”
…!
The Sky Ruler came to report, but his words were utterly deafening as terrifying auras arose in response.
At the forefront, a woman with palpable swirling Covenant Particles of Chaos had a livid expression as she voiced out coldly.
“My nephew is dead?! What was their crew doing?”
Her voice was akin to a heavy screech filled with emotion as the face of the Sky Ruler turned ashen as if he were facing tremendous pressure, and he uttered out hurriedly.
“They went to an Emerging Realm…”
…!
An Emerging Realm
For them to die there, and even do so at the same time…
The eyes of the dark-haired Void Ruler at the forefront were livid as she spoke out coldly.
“Either a freak native of that realm, who does not know exactly who they just offended as they and their Realm will burn for it, or the wastes from the Beast Alliance or Dark Rule got there as well and did this. It has to be one at the peak of the Void Ruler level as Stellar Rulers would not be sent out so freely. Hmph. They think they can kill our people and get away? Call this in! And get me the coordinates to that Emerging Realm!”
Her commanding words turned into roars as the Sky Ruler attendant bowed with a heavy expression.
“Yes, Commander Cleopod!”
Experience tales at empire
Musings of choices caused one domino after another to fall.
Far away, the Star Alliance was alerted to losing 5 Void Rulers all at once as at this moment, it was unknown how they would react!
—
Masako.
The Dark Ruler with dazzling blue eyes looked like a dainty and weak woman if one gave her an initial glance, but they would be mistaken as her power stood towards the very peak of a Void Ruler!
She waved her hands as white-blue threads shot out from her above the Void of Ephesus and latched onto the five clusters of Covenant Gems left behind by the dead Void Rulers.
They disappeared into her folds as she nodded happily towards Alexander.
[Let’s go.]
She pointed to the Realm below as after watching her carefully, Alexander nodded and led the way- their figures turning into streaks of light as they crossed thousands of miles in a short period of time.
Their journey was not a long one.
Masako was currently blinking and looking at everything in the surroundings as they descended onto the lands of Ephesus- specifically towards the Sacred Gold Mountain.
Since she asked for food as the first thing after the discussions finished, Alexander pegged her to be someone with unique tendencies as his main body had already begun preparing on the Sacred Gold Mountain.
As they floated down, he held the book that she gave him in his hands as he asked succinctly.
[I haven’t truly gotten any experience regarding other Void Rulers, but can you enlighten me regarding the types of Gems and Gem Recipes that someone like you or others in your position would utilize?]
He wanted to learn more.
He had yet to open the book that she gave him, and he simply asked to get a better understanding of this woman before him.
She replied nonchalantly as if it was not a big deal.
[Some Void Rulers are strong enough to require someone like me or others to utilize their ability gems. Those little snakes that I butchered up there were not some of them. All they required was an outburst of my assimilated authority of the Sword. If they were truly powerful, they would have gotten a taste of my Main Ability Gem- something that I obtained from a dying star.]
…!
[There are a great deal of mysteries out there on just how Ability Gems can form, but to get a single Gem out of an entire dying star is unheard of. You can imagine how powerful it is. When it comes to others…eh, I wouldn’t compare others to me as they would die of jealousy.]
She was utterly confident in herself as she spoke, will their figures arriving near the radiance of the Sacred Gold Mountain at this moment.
Alexander took her towards the very peak where one could see a clearing of about a few dozen miles.
Here, golden houses of exquisite design were enacted as they glittered with a dim gold radiance- this being the work of none other than the Covenant of Gold paired up with the Covenant of Earth and a sense of Nobility.
This was where Claire, his Father, and others were staying as at the very center, a golden square could be seen along with a massive grill that was already spinning while simmering the meat of Dragon Rulers at this moment.
His main body stood there with his hands behind his back as Claire was beside him, Alexander’s Enneagram clone voicing out as it stopped in the skies.
[My other body will take it from here, he has already begun preparing a feast.]
The figure of the Dark Ruler was actually surprised to see the two bodies of Alexander, but her eyes and nose were drawn to the scintillating scene and smells of the grilling meat as she just nodded and went forward.
The Enneagram Clone stayed behind in the skies as he looked at a book and disappeared.
He was going to peruse the bundles of information available to him so he could expand his knowledge and see just how low in the rungs of power he actually was in the scope of entire Sectors of the Void!
At the same time, his other clone had finished grasping the last Sacred Gem Engine in the Hollow Earth as he gained an additional nine Covenants, and his Enneagram was spinning like an engine itself as its changes this time would be profound!
