Chapter 2513

2513 - The Color of Momentum

The Resentful One kept staring at the broadcast from Billy's perspective, until Robin finally turned around and delivered his last words, before the recording fell silent once more.

"What do you think of what you saw?" Intiras spoke after a few seconds of silence.

"...This looks like Transcendence Momentum without a doubt." The Resentful One replied calmly, "A lot of it."

Then he cast a doubtful look toward Intiras.

"I wouldn't summon you just to lie to you or make you watch something fabricated. What you just saw was a recording of a live broadcast on the Soul Society that the entire universe saw at the same time." Intiras raised his hands in surrender, "Contact any of your other followers inside B-14 and they will tell you the same thing."

Then he pointed upward, "And what is happening in the universe now, the disturbance in the Spacetime Fabric, is the best proof... all the Buffer Zones have already disappeared."

"....." The Resentful One began scrutinizing the state of the universe more closely, and nodded, "...Traces of a battle with Transcendence Momentum."

"This happened before everyone's eyes, just as you saw." Intiras pointed toward the suspended image of Robin, "This one, the latest Chosen of the All-seeing God and his greatest investment, canceled a Court punishment in front of everyone, boasting, and at this very moment two fully Unbound beings loyal to him are expanding his authority."

"Tsk~" The Resentful One shook his head calmly, "This is no longer a chosen one."

"…?!" Intiras was taken aback.

"This amount of momentum is not something an ordinary human body can withstand, and the fact that there are Unbound ones under his command settles the matter." The Resentful One stared at Robin's image. "It's very clear that the All-seeing God has immortalized a number of his cells!"

"What?!" Intiras shouted loudly.

When a Transcendent is pleased with a new follower in one of The cycles and decides to take them to live in the Eternal Sanctuary, it is usually by granting them the compound that makes them nearly immortal—the substance that classifies them as a follower, a servant, an Executioner. Even new concubines are given that compound.

But there is another way…

For the principal wife, for the most beloved children, or simply for someone who deserves an immense reward… the Transcendent may use his seals and momentum to upgrade another person's cells.

But it is a very rare process, one could say it has been forgotten… For immortality, the compound would suffice. And for power, a few Transcendent cells won't suddenly make a person as powerful as a Transcendent—they would remain weaker.

But according to the Resentful One's words, there is another possibility… raising the number of cells so they can withstand pouring a large amount of momentum into the body?

"Something like that is possible?!" Intiras raised his voice.

"You see him now." The Resentful One replied calmly, "These amounts of momentum cannot be borne by a pure human body. Either he was given the compound, and that isn't physically apparent on him—he still looks human." Then he continued, "Or he obtained several Transcendent cells that make this possible."

Then he turned to Intiras with a strange smile, "Or he himself is a Transcendent."

"..?" Intiras stared into his guest's eyes, "It's clear you're in a good mood today for joking."

"My mood is undoubtedly good." The Resentful One turned back toward Robin, "Extremely good."

Then he chuckled, "That young man, the All-seeing God, has finally run out of patience."

"I was going to ask you about this." Intiras pointed toward the standing image, "Are we certain this is the All-seeing God's doing? That massive amount of momentum… can the All-seeing God produce it?"

"Easily." The Resentful One nodded, "This amount of Transcendent Momentum equals between six and seven seals, and that's a very reasonable number for the All-seeing boy who publicly displayed twenty-four seals." Then he chuckled, "Heh~ but not anymore, it seems."

"Is it normal for the All-seeing boy to squander all these seals? Perhaps another whale supports him?!" Intiras asked quickly.

"..." The Resentful One turned slowly toward Intiras, the atmosphere suddenly growing heavy. "I can belittle another Transcendent as I please. You cannot. As a manifestation of lowly life, you should show a little decorum."

Then he turned back to look at the momentum. "...Second, no, this isn't another whale. The momentum is golden and radiant as you can see—that's the distinctive color of the All-seeing God's momentum."

"..." Intiras tried to swallow his pride with all his might so as not to respond to the insult, for he knew well that the Resentful One wasn't insulting him from his own perspective—he was merely stating a passing fact.

Then he finally opened his mouth again. "If the momentum is golden... it must be the All-seeing God?"

"Yes." The Resentful One replied, "Every Transcendent has a fixed original momentum color determined by several things—past experiences, personality type, future aspirations, the Laws they've gathered and their levels, and many factors that influence the color... Momentum is one, but each color has a meaning and a story behind it."

"Can't the color be faked?" Intiras asked again.

"You insist so much that this momentum doesn't belong to the All-seeing boy—is that how much you look down on your own kind? Haha," the Resentful One replied with a loud laugh, "Yes, yes, the color can be faked, but it would be weaker. For example, momentum that reaches six-star power would be issued by at least eight stars."

Then the Resentful One shook his head, "No Transcendent would change the color of his momentum, regardless of the power lost in changing and hiding the color, and regardless of the fact that the All-seeing God paid an increased tax in order to transport such immense momentum that distance…" The Resentful One raised his head slightly, "No Transcendent is cowardly and lacking in self-respect enough to do such a thing. The color of momentum is pride, honor, and a signature, and if it is discovered that someone is tampering with momentum colors, he will be despised, punished, and if he is trying to frame another Transcendent with ridiculous tricks… The Court may seal him."

Then he laughed, "Haha, and believe me, not a single Transcendent in the Land of Refuge is interested in faking the All-seeing God's momentum color!"

"That means…" Intiras turned to look toward Robin.

"This means the All-seeing God used two halves of his seals to create Unbound ones, then pledged six or seven of his seals and gave them to his candidate inside the universe…" The Resentful One raised his head with a wide smile. "This means our friend who is complaining about us in The Court has lost a third of his power at once in order to manipulate the result of the cycle."

"…." Intiras continued staring at The Resentful One from the side. "This interference is beyond my ability to handle. What do you want me to do?"

"Rest for now and preserve your strength and your forces." The Resentful One nodded a few times in reassurance. "I will contact a few friends… then come back to you."

Whoosh
