Chapter 1013: 16.59 First Red Star - Looming Danger

Ca.s.sius Ambrosia stopped Mayonaka Yoru as he was getting ready to leave. The former had entrusted Luther D'Arcy with completing the appropriate doc.u.mentation for this new student's transfer to be fully authorized. There is also the punishment for failing to report to the Academy on time without authorization, for which he was required to write a reflection letter. Mayonaka Yoru departed the estate with a stack of doc.u.ments under his arm, in contrast to his empty-handed arrival.

Mayonaka Yoru's mood was down when he left the house, but as soon as he noticed someone's unexpected figure outside the mansion's gates, he joyfully hurried towards Esther Dawn.

Former Archbishop Mayonaka says, "My pudding~ why are you here?"

"Dad said to call you for dinner. Are you coming?" Esther Dawn said.

"Of course!"

The two return to the guest zone to visit the Dawn Family in their modest residence. At night, the Dawn Family and his guests joyfully celebrate Luciel Dawn's return to the family. The feasts had been livelier than intended with Mayonaka Yoru joining them for supper. Asher Light and Conri Lycaon did not spend the night, but Mayonaka Yoru did because he still didn't have a dorm room yet and Luciel Dawn dragged him to get a drink. Tonight is the Dawn Family's happiest day.

At the Templar Temple's Territory...

Since the unexpected invasion of the Werewolves Race, a quarter of their dominion has been in ruins. Several houses and churches were destroyed, however no one was killed as a result of this disaster. Despite the fact that many people had been harmed and that most healing zones were crowded with patients suffering from minor to serious injuries, no one perished.

The two cardinals were gravely hurt after blocking Luciel's onslaught with their own bodies and had to stay in bed for days. Even though the Holy Sanctuary they activated the last time cleansed their bodies from miasma, but their fractured bones still require time to mend. After all, they had broken a few ribs, and natural mending had slowed somewhat with their age. They can only command the others while they are sleeping. Pope Kenan Light, on the other hand, never awoke despite the disturbance outside his chamber. He had been in a deep slumber since Fenrir Skoll had beaten him up that day.

"The Cardinals are out of commission! What should we do if another group attacks once again!?"

"Archbishop Mayonaka left us. There are no bishops available. Are you going to die here!?"

"Wuwu~ I don't want to die. Sniff!"

"There is still the Holy Son. We still have His highness! Someone! Go and inform the Holy Son about the situation in the Temple!"

Panic has unleashed mayhem inside the Templar Temple. A small group of priests and their followers decided to flee the dominion. Some stayed simply to defend the Templar Temple, while others went in search of the Holy Son, Asher Light.

Pope Kenan Light, unbeknownst to them, was never sleeping in the first place. His spirit was instead trapped in a vacuum, unable to return to his body. At first, he tried everything in an attempt to escape this dark environment, but none of his efforts were fruitful. He eventually gave up attempting to flee and accepted that his face would be sealed in this region of darkness.

The void is vast and boundless, and just because Ye Xiajie possessed it all as his domain didn't mean he could oversee it all the time. He can do so if he was personally monitoring it, but if he wasn't, the void is open for usage by anybody with the ability to enter the void. The spirit of Kenan Light was carried into the emptiness by something or someone, but it wasn't what Ye Xiajie had done.

Kenan Light had no idea how long he had been imprisoned in this nothingness until he sensed ripples in the darkness and a ma.s.sive crimson eye loomed before him. There was only one crimson eye, no other bodily parts, just an eye. This monster possessed a ma.s.sive amount of Chaos Energy. Chaos Energy, like the power of the stars, moon, and sun, is both comparable and distinct. It is compatible with all elements for usage, but only specific elements such as light, darkness, ice, s.p.a.ce, and time may oppose it.

Chaos Energy is considered to be no longer in existence. This is because the source of this energy, the G.o.d of Chaos, was thought to have perished many Eons ago. He was alleged to have died in order to end the existence of the World Eater race. Now, a Chaos Energy-wielding monster has emerged, and for some reason, it has materialized before Kenan Light. Clearly, things aren't as simple as they are.

If the Sovereign Rulers and Ancient G.o.ds saw this creature, they would immediately identify this eye's ident.i.ty. The World Eater, this eyed beast, is dreaded by all worlds in existence. But, it was too little in comparison to an adult World Eater, whose original size is as huge as an entire universe. It can only consume worlds since they are the only thing its size and full of life.

Kenan Light had no idea what this monster was, but the overwhelming energy it exuded was something no one could wish for. Not even a lowly being like him would dare to a.s.sume he could do it.

The demonic existence spoke in a language Kenan Light couldn't understand at all. But he can hear the contempt and disdain this being is just based on his tone. The huge eye squinted with dislike as it looked down on Kenan Light before itself.

"Iz yiz ya strongest oth greediest suzor ir yiz laenhg? Sa seems useless oth xonaja useful. Tsk! s'oqawabbi oz haerdh oz ya Kaeg aem chaos's fragment dies ya naed gaeazr'q zoqqabbi," said the huge scarlet eyed monster.

Translation: [Is this the strongest and greediest human in this world? he seems useless and barely useful. Tsk! whatever am long am the G.o.d of chaos's fragment dies the rest doesn't matter]

Kenan Light instead of being just frightened, he knew that this was an opportunity to gain powers beyond his known means. This unknown being would allow him to get all he wanted in his life.

"What are you? Are you the one who pulled me in this place? Are you the devil? Can you grant all my wishes!?" The questions flew out his mouth continuously and he didn't have any intention to hide his greed at all.

The Demonic Eye, World Eater spoke but once again Kenan Light didn't understand a word. "Haelabbi being tras.h.!.+ esaeu yaeuhgr'q awar uthabbiedoth yiz haeng's laengz! useless!"

Translation: [Lower being tras.h.!.+ You couldn't even understand this Lord's words! Useless!]

A tentacle emerges from the eye and grabs Kenan Light's head. While his head was being pressed, the latter could only scream. The tentacle wrapped around Kenan Light's head vanished just as he thought his skull was ready to burst, and he felt his entire world whirling. But this time, he fully comprehended what the monster in front of his face was saying to him.

"Trash, can you finally understand this Lord's words?" The World Eater asked.

Kenan Light was stunned for a moment and kneeled before the monster respectfully, "My Lord, this little one was finally graced with the words the almighty had spoken."

"Mortals truly love to flatter others. If they are strong they disdain the weak and those opposed to them. If they are weak they would flatter their tongue to get what they want. Well, forget it. Mortal, I heard you desire to become the strongest in this world. I am making you stronger than anyone in that little world of yours, even stronger than that thing you call as master but in exchange, I want you to kill someone for me." The World Eater had spoken.

Pope Kenan Light asked, "Who is it, my Lord?"

"The Progenitor of Blood in your world. I will give you enough strength to overwhelm anyone in that world. But there might be one being who would step in to stop you. He is stronger than you no matter what but he is greatly weakened because of his vessel and he can only use a quarter of his original strength. As long as you destroy his vessel he wouldn't be able to do anything. His weakness is the one I wanted you to target as well."

'Well~ unless that madman no longer cares about his beloved he could destroy the world even after his vessel is gone but that most likely wouldn't happen.'

Pope Kenan Light asked, "Who is that man the lord is talking about?"

"Well, his vessel is the Ancestor of the Werewolves. Except for him, you can defeat anyone in that world after I bestow my powers to you. Just destroy his vessel and he wouldn't be able to do anything anymore." The World Eater said. "How about it?~ Are you interested?"

"Yes!!!"

An mysterious energy invaded Pope Kenan Light's body as soon as he consented to the evil being's temptation. This is Chaos Energy, a silver aura that can be transformed into any element. When the Chaos Energy was poured into Kenan Light's spirit, the Pope felt immense strength throughout his entire being, causing him to laugh in delight. Unbeknownst to him, the World Eater regarded him as a useful but expendable p.a.w.n.

Thoughts of the World Eater, 'This bug doesn't seem to able.to last long. I need to get another one, someone smarter and more useful than the others.'

"You got what you want. It is time for you to come back where you came from." The World Eater had kicked back Pope Kenan Light's soul to his own body as he finished his use for him.

The World Eater was aware that the G.o.d of Chaos incarnation is Hei Anjing, and that this Lunatic G.o.d was in a state of dying, with all of his soul fragments scattered throughout the universes; as long as these soul fragments were not merged or killed, he would have nothing to fear because there would be no absolute domain that could suppress even his unique bloodline. The World Eater gazed through the crimson star once more. He beheld the ineffective Pope, who had finally awoken from his profound slumber.

Watching that mortal act as if he is on top of the world made him smirk with contempt in his eye. In his eyes those who are easily drunk with his own power are just p.a.w.ns that can be used and disposed of anytime. When suddenly he noticed one soul who was alone and living his life on his own. The World Eater didn't expect to see this kind of soul pure yet full of desire for power. He couldn't help but chuckle at this great find.

The World Eater murmured, "Finally~ o worthy zaeuh qae allure. Yiz gazina aem daelabbi laeuhg xa siz ednardhy esaq siz weakness oz lazz. Chq's loqkh im yabbia iz zaezayirdh ahza sa laeuhg loai zaena maen ya zota aem daelabbi."

Translation: [Finally~ a worthy soul to allure. This desire of power would be his strength yet his weakness as well. Let's watch if there is something else he would want more for the sake of power.]

The World Eater's intervention was unexpected by Ye Xiajie and the others. They had really forgotten about it following the death of Ye Mo and the Ye Gui Race. This concealed threat was now infiltrating the A-Cla.s.s world they were in. Presenting danger they were unaware of.
