Chapter 2489

2489 - Disturbing the Authorities

Middle Sector 250—

S i l e n c e

Qarun was sitting on his high throne behind the semicircular table, and beside him nine of his disciples sat on scattered thrones.

Just seconds ago, news of what was happening had reached them all and they gathered. Qarun came with a large, confident smile on his face, wanting to see Robin embarrass himself live on air.

How would he try to justify the presence of The Plague on the planet? That they eat Space Beasts? It's easy to say this is an additional path to strengthen them.

How would he justify the death of the Cosmic Elder? He'll say he's alive? Prove it if you can!

Or will he say someone else killed him? That's worse—everyone will be certain that the Cosmic Elder was truly killed and that he's the one who did it.

Will he say he's not a candidate for the All-seeing God? All evidence is against him, the accusation fits him from his hair to his toenails, and there's no room for justification.

This broadcast is destined to be a joke…

Or so I thought.

"…………."

Qarun was staring at the broadcast at this moment, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide open, and the rest of his disciples had similar expressions.

No one opened their mouth with a word, no one could find a word to say…

Kshhh

The broadcast was cut for seconds then returned, and none of them changed their expression.

He did it…

The bastard did it…

He said: Do you dare put me on the defensive? Go ahead, defend yourselves too!

Do you want ruin on my path? I will ruin all your plans with me!

He dropped all the charges directed at him…

Not because he answered them—he did not defend himself against a single one.

He admitted he was a candidate, admitted he controlled the demons, and did not deny that he killed the Cosmic Elder.

Rather, he dropped everything because he placed on the table a calamity far greater.

A calamity that would reach everyone.

Now he—the protector of the universe's protectors and the Voice of Truth, as he had spread about himself—had to step forward and prove that Robin Burton's words were pure myth!!

"…What a filthy move!!" Qarun said through gritted teeth.

Middle Sector 750—

"Hahahahaha!"

Sevar laughed loudly until the Sky-Avoidance Cave began to shake.

"These are the final blows to sensitive areas, Qarun. You strike your opponent once, forcing him to strike you back in the same spot with even greater ferocity." Then he shook his head, "These tactics can work against every obstacle you've faced, but unfortunately… Robin Burton and I are not mere obstacles. We are candidates like you—the three of us chose the same entity… the fall of any one of us will not be so easy."

Then he shook his head, "Tsk tsk~ The period of calm has ended and the era of playing in the open will begin. Two million full years remain, and we will have to deal with this generation and the one after it, and the one after that, those who knew the truth."

Then with an expressionless face he looked upward, "Now even if Robin Burton dies, he has left behind something to annoy us with until the end of the Cycle… Now if any of us makes any major move, people will link it to the rumors of 100 million years and doubt will begin. Movements will start to stop anything we do, whether in the open or in secret… Once doubt enters and they begin digging into the past, it will be over. Now we have become outsiders against locals."

Then he let out a chuckle, "Heh~ Well played."

Sector 1—Tyrant Galaxy

Baaaaaam

Intiras stood in fury and kicked a throne with such force that he turned it into fragments.

"The peasant! The dirty local peasant!!" Intiras clenched his teeth until he felt they were about to shatter, "That Worm who isn't worth the air he breathes dared?!"

Intiras's eyes were emitting boundless hatred and arrogance. The legendary Throne Hall itself began to tremble.

There are certain things that no one should know, things that must remain concealed for a certain group until the end of time.

That is why people like Athena and the Cosmic Elder said nothing, even though people with their power certainly knew a thing or two about what would happen at the boundary of 100 million years, or at least about the infinite beasts behind The Shell.

They could not say anything…

What would the common people do other than panic and destroy themselves when they learn information like this?

As a person of high standing, you either try to stop the inevitable fate with your own hands, or you try to avoid it and come out with the fewest losses.

And in both cases, you will need calm in your work.

Like Athena, who has kept herself in isolation for 70 million years.

Or the Cosmic Elder, who collects treasures

by coincidence

and has been searching for a successor since ancient times.

But to announce to the common people…

"If I fall, I will drag everyone down with me, huh?" Intiras began staring at the broadcast with madness, "No… I will not allow everything we have prepared to be ruined for the whim of a Novice."

Then Intiras raised his hand heavily and spoke, "Sons from 350 to 200, prepare to head to Middle Sector 99 and strike Planet Donara, and the sons from 60 to 30, you will go with them."

Those simple orders struck like an earthquake in the Sector.

Each one of those sons had at least one planetary arm in Intiras's three galaxies. Everyone who heard his number immediately rose to his call, then gathered at the known launch site.

Even the ten sons classified as soldiers drew their weapons and left the heart of the galaxy in a sight that sent chills down the spine.

"You drag me along with you? You have raised your head to a station that is not yours, and made a decision that is not yours to make." Intiras's eyes blazed even more, "I will erase you and all who followed you from the face of creation first, and then I will undo what you have corrupted… The Tyrant Intiras never falls, even if the sky falls!"
