Chapter 688: I won’t forget you
The Red Matter Association had fallen.
There was an unexpected event in the end but it didn’t last long. Other organizations were moving in the shadow of the Red Matter Association. As for the Spatial Gem and Project Sicily, the Third Set didn’t manage to get their hands on any of the two.
The unknown man called Grim took the Spatial Gem and Avron used the power of the Project Sicily to destroy the entire Subterranean World.
Project Sicily wasn’t really the Red Matter Association’s goal. Avron only forged it because the Messenger of Gluttony forced him. Not really, Avron only forged it because the Messager gave him ingredients for Project Sicily and Spatial Gem. So the plan of the Red Matter Association sped up.
Up until now, the uses of the Spatial Gem were still unknown. Avron said that it would be used to break through to the Eight Shackles Realm but that’s the most basic function of it. There were other functions that they didn’t know.
As soon as they arrived in the Champion’s Den, Vandal quickly went to the higher-ups to report the outcome of the war. He didn’t miss any details as he reported everything that occurred in the Subterranean World.
The members of the Red Matter Association were escorted and locked in the prison. There, the guards would interrogate them and give punishment according to their crimes. Obviously, the Locking Cripling Sphere was used to them. Also, they would be given a strong poison pill to infect their bodies.
The poison pill wouldn’t kill any of them. It would only give them a debuff so that they couldn’t recover from their peak strength. It was to avoid them breaking out of the prison.
Vandal told the Division Commander that he would report again once he received information from the prisoners that they’d captured. They needed to know the point of view of the prisoners to know really what was happening in the war.
He exited the room of the Division Commander. He took a long sigh as he glanced at the windows, ‘The Deadly Sins been getting restless these past few weeks… It seems they are planning something big.’ He said inwardly.
The appearance of the Messenger of Gluttony was a little bit unexpected.
“I need to keep up…”
He said to himself. The changes in mana density would bring him a chance to reach the next level faster. Also, he had to ask about the so-called Archetype that Avron mentioned.
In the Astros Squad in the Athen’s Champion…
Souta was sitting in his room with his chin resting on his palm. He confirmed his guess last time. The Deadly Sins was moving in the dark manipulating various organizations.
“Hmm… A still have some time…”
He closed his eyes and recalled the places where Gluttony would launch a direct attack. But the subsequent events also confirmed his thoughts.
The world was moving beyond his information. The shattering of rules and increase in mana density wasn’t in the game. These two would certainly affect the timeline that he knew so he should better prepare himself for the unknown.
If the war occurred, he would have to fight experts stronger than him. But he wasn’t that anxious since he was confident that he could escape from anyone unless they were at Hero-rank and above.
He rubbed his chin as he recalled his battle against Dromas. The guy was strong and the only reason why he could damage him was thanks to Archetype and dark grade vajra sword. He needed to improve a lot of things and used these two to his advantage so that his attacks would grow stronger in the future.
“Magic circle…”
Souta raised his other palm and his energy gathered on top of it. After a few seconds, a magic circle formed emitting a dim light.
‘I can build tier 1 magic circle in five seconds manually without relying on the system. Five seconds… It’s too long, I need more practice and comprehending the formula and structures of a magic circle.’
He said inwardly as he observed the magic circle in his palm. In the next moment, he closed his palm and the circle disappeared. Luckily, his learning ability had increased ever since he fused the [Galaxy Eyes].
Huff~
Souta took a long sigh as he folded his arms in front of his chest. Then, he closed his eyes and recalled the Stone Monuments in the Subterranean World. The legacy of the Space God was gone but the words written on the monument gave him some clues.
“I don’t when it started but they just came to Imperium. They are creatures with different shapes and appearances. They are equipped with a never before seen type of energy. They are ferocious creatures that killed everything in their paths.
They are dangerous and the strongest among them could even kill gods. It brought chaos to the whole Imperium in just a year. They appeared out of nowhere.
Thousands of mortal kingdoms and empires were destroyed. I fought one of them and I killed two creatures at god-level. It resulted in me suffering grave injuries. Thousands of sub-worlds had fallen and almost every living creature outside of Imperium have died.
I stand here in this land knowing that I would die soon. I folded the space here using my knowledge and ability. I will leave everything here in hopes that the future generations would acquire my legacy and knowledge.
I don’t have any information about those creatures but remember that those creatures aren’t from Imperium. I don’t know but I heard some crucial words regarding the enemy.
The Door.
I don’t know what is the Door as I’m just an ordinary god that understands the space. I hope my knowledge would help the future generations. That is if the Imperium is still intact in the future.”
These were the words left behind by the creator of the Subterranean World, the Space God.
The information wasn’t much but it was confirmed that they were fighting some creatures and those creatures came out of nowhere. And they were using a never before seen type of energy.
‘It wasn’t enough…’
Some of the information was useless to him since he already knew it from the God of Hunt. It only strengthened his guess and confirmed some of his thoughts regarding the events twenty thousand years ago.
Hu~
Souta shook his head. He wouldn’t get an answer like this. He should wait until he found another clue about the events at that time.
“Let’s see…”
He placed his hand inside his pocket and took out the strange marble. He stared at it for a while before he shouted, “Isabella, come here!”
In just a few seconds, Isabella already arrived in his room. She knocked on the door and he gave her his permission to come inside.
The door creaked open as she slowly stepped inside. She looked at him anxiously as if she had done something wrong.
“Give me your hands,” Souta said.
Isabella stretched out her hands. She didn’t know what Souta wanted but she obeyed his orders since he was her leader.
Souta stood up as he gave her the unknown red marble.
“I-Is this a pill?” Isabella tilted her head as she observed the red marble on her palm.
“I don’t know…” Souta shrugged his shoulders. “So I want you to study it and gave me a detailed report.”
“Oh…?” Isabella raised her eyebrows as she looked closely at the red marble. Stars appeared in her eyes and she opened her mouth, “This is amazing… Souta, where did you get it?! I don’t know what it is but I think that this is a pill! It’s a bit crude but it’s surely a high-grade pill! Can I go now?! I want to study it quickly! Ah, no! This pill!”
Souta smiled looking at her enthusiastic expression. He waved his hand and said, “You can go now, just don’t forget to give me a report.”
“Oh, I will not disappoint you!” Isabella hurriedly left the room with the red marble in her hands.
“That girl…” Souta pinched the bridge of his nose as he stepped outside of his room. He exhaled and looked around.
Alice and Franklin were sitting on the couch. Yenxia was on the corner with a book in her hands. Eztein was outside walking around the Champion’s Den.
“Alice, come with me,” Souta said before he left the Astros Squad room.
“Okay,” Alice nodded before she stood up and fixed her clothes.
The two arrived in a spacious place. This place was the graveyards of the fallen warriors of the Athen’s Champion.
Eilish was already waiting for him. Souta and Alice stood beside her without saying anything. They just simply watched the scene in front of them.
The warrior’s funeral. Airi was also included as a lot of warriors wanted her to be buried in the warrior’s cemetery. It was an honor that they could give her since she showed them a spirit of a true warrior.
Souta narrowed his eyes as he stared at the two children. He would take care of them in her stead.
“I won’t forget you.”
