RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE
THUNDER THUNDER THUNDER
The Universe reacted in anger again.
By now, this had become such a common sight that almost no being was surprised by it—even Mortals were no exception. They had heard about the ’God’s anger’ from their ancestors, and experiencing it on their own was nothing new to them.
However, while the rest of the Universe simply thought of it as an everyday occurrence, in Vael’Terros, the world where the Supreme Borns had gathered all the Mercenary Guild Leaders, things were different.
Their reaction to the Universe’s anger was much heavier than others.
Of course, the Universe’s anger didn’t really affect Vael’Terros. With a wave of his hand, the Eternal from the Supreme World of Balance negated all the tremors that could have caused any harm to any being present here.
The problem, however, was the fact that the Universe had reacted when they were waiting for the party they sent to return.
This... felt ominous.
"They still aren’t back."
The Eternal from the Supreme World of Light muttered in a low voice, staring at Balance, who nodded solemnly.
Zarveth, the party of other Supreme Borns, and Neremoth who went after them, had left a few hours ago. Their goal was to investigate the Mercenary Worlds that were destroyed by the Chain Breakers.
The goal was simple. They wanted to find a clue regarding the Chain Breakers—or better yet, meet a member of the said group and bring him here to know more about them.
If it was just the investigation, then with Zarveth’s speed, they should have been back a long time ago. After all, the Chain Breakers had only destroyed fifty-six worlds. There was no way Zarveth would investigate fifty-six Mercenary Worlds for more than a few hours.
Even if the task was tedious, he would have ordered his subordinates to do it while he himself would have returned with a bored look on his face.
That was the type of being he was.
Neremoth too wasn’t an exception. The entire reason he left was because he was bored. Both Light and Balance knew it. If they were still investigating, that being would have returned a long time ago.
After all, investigation was definitely much more boring than whatever was going on here. At the very least, here, he could have rightfully tortured a few mercenaries to death while they begged him for mercy.
It was something Neremoth usually enjoyed.
But...
Since the two of them hadn’t returned, both Light and Balance could tell what was happening.
A fight.
Zarveth, Neremoth, and their party must have encountered an enemy. However, when they tried to contact them, there were no replies—almost as if they didn’t have the time to react.
Which in itself was surprising. After all, both Neremoth and Zarveth were strong—Light and Balance knew it better than everyone present here.
If the enemy was strong enough to keep both of them busy, then the enemy was quite strong as well—
Dealing with such an enemy... the two of them should have already called for reinforcements, yet they did not.
It was something that confused Light and Balance.
Were they... defeated before they could call for reinforcements?
Honestly, if that was the case, then the reinforcements wouldn’t have done anything either. No being other than an Infinity could push Zarveth and Neremoth to such a state. Even if the two of them were facing tens of Supreme Born Eternals, Zarveth alone would have had more than enough time to call for reinforcements.
He had more than a hundred relics specifically made for calling reinforcements before anyone could stop him. As long as he wasn’t instantly killed, he could call reinforcements by his will alone.
But since he didn’t...
Both Light and Balance could tell that the enemy was much, much stronger than what they were expecting. And when the very Universe trembled—their doubts became even stronger.
Anomaly...
He had appeared.
And although they did not know if he was actually involved in this case or whether the Universe was reacting to something else entirely, they did not like what was happening at all. It was too big of a coincidence to ignore.
The Anomaly... he might be working together with the Chain Breakers...
And if that was the case then—
"We need to report."
Balance muttered lightly, and Light nodded with a solemn look on his face.
Both Balance and Light took out their relics to report their findings and—
Bzz
Both of them received the same answer.
"What did they say to you?"
Balance questioned.
"Continue what you are doing."
Light answered, and seeing Balance nod at his words, he understood Balance got the same.
The two of them nodded at each other and did as they were told, no longer thinking about those who had disappeared.
Just then—another chamber turned red, another guild leader was caught lying. It was a sight that made the rest of the mercenary guild leaders pale in fright. Soon, the screen appeared, showing the guild leader’s very soul being ripped into pieces, and when Light saw that—
"These people never learn."
He shook his head—disappointed.
...
On the other side, in a hall with a comically large table, four entities of different light hovered at each side of the table.
Yes, once again, the strongest beings of the Universe, the Supreme Infinities, were having a meeting.
"Did you sense it?"
An entity made of white light with an incomprehensible energy around it questioned in a calm voice.
He was the Supreme Being of Eternity—or the Eternity Infinity.
"Three of my people have disappeared."
An entity made of grey light with a calm, neutral energy around it answered.
