lody and Ignatia looked at the system with deep frowns. While there were different races of humans in their world, they were all Ceperet Humans. For example, a human could be a or a . Nevertheless, the prefix would be there since they were humans born and raised in this world.
Now, seeing a human with in their na instead of , Ignatia and lody couldn’t help but raise eyebrows.
“lody.” Ignatia looked at the corpse stuck on her arm with her antennae twitching. “Do you know anything about this?”
lody shook her head. “No. What about you?”
The Ant Queen pondered for a few seconds, making lody look over with suspicious eyes. The Ant Queen smiled wryly. “Don’t look at like that. As I’ve said in the past, I have mories of past Ant Queens. And, not all Ant Queens failed in their quest to beco World Rulers. Nevertheless, the Ant Queens were eventually defeated.”
lody frowned. “How? It’s not like there can be sothing that can challenge an Ant Queen that has achieved World Ruling.”
Ignatia smiled and flew back while carrying Kaelis’s corpse by the hair. “I also thought the sa. However, during the visions and mories, I saw the starry sky glittering. The attacks during the final monts of that Ant Queen also ca from the sky.” She muttered. “Back then, I thought that soone with long-range bombardnt spells had appeared among the intelligent races, leading the charge against the Ant Queen. Now…”
lody looked at Ignatia with a surprised expression. “You are not thinking of creatures beyond our world, right?”
“What else can it be, then?”
lody frowned deeply. “But, there is no information about life beyond our world.”
“There is also no information about skills beyond S Rank.” Ignatia smiled wryly.
lody paused and looked at Ignatia with a surprised look. “There are skills beyond S Rank?”
“Perhaps.” Ignatia sighed. “Either way, if what we are discussing is remotely truthful, killing Kaelis will cause much bigger consequences than we thought previously. Moreover, Kaelis is far from being a top powerhouse in the Abyssal Void Nexus. We can assu two scenarios from that information.
lody muttered. “The first should be that the people above her are either from the sa place as her, or Kaelis infiltrated, intending to eventually take over.”
Ignatia agreed. “Yes. The first is that the other side is sowhat equal to us and is trying to slowly infiltrate our planet to take over by any ans, eventually.” Her tone beca sowhat heavy as she spoke about the second option. “The other is… We are part of a system so big and powerful that we are considered a backward world. So, they sent so of their juniors here to train them before picking them. Naturally, those juniors have parents, and if one of them is too strong…”
lody’s face paled, and she began thinking of different scenarios. “That… Aren’t we dood in that scenario then?”
“The only way we are not is that there is more than one otherworldly power in our world, and they are at odds. That way, even if so important junior dies, the other side won’t move within a short amount of ti. The other side will be quite happy about it, after all.”
Ignatia and lody’s conversation reached Liu Shu as well. Curious, she asked the system a few things. ‘System, are there any in the kill notifications I overlooked after my war against the Nexus?’
[Analyzing…]
[Completed! There are 87 matches for among the death notifications.]
Liu Shu frowned deeply as she caressed her flat stomach. “Hm… So few among the hundreds of thousands I killed. Well, whatever, I’ll discuss it when I wake up.” Liu Shu looked down and muttered. “It’s so strange not to have a baby growing in my stomach.” The child with an unknown parent growing in her stomach had long since been born. It was currently in arms, suckling her milk with eyes closed in joy. The girl’s flaming hair, blood-red eyes, and lower flower half were extrely similar to her big sister Pyara.
“To think that I have given birth to another Sanguine Blaze… Is the semi-intelligent race I give birth to unique to each Sylvan, or was it a coincidence?” Liu Shu yawned, feeling sleepy because her Leveling Up took up a lot of her energy. “Well, it doesn’t matter. The threat is done, so I should go back to sleep.”
She leaned back with eyes closed and fell into a deep sleep again while protective energies surrounded her Avatar body and the Sanguine Blaze.
Ignatia and lody wanted to discuss with Liu Shu, but they could feel the energy focused on their current location dissipate. This was a clear sign of Liu Shu going back to sleep after the problem was dealt with.
The two won smiled wryly. “Couldn’t she stay behind a bit to discuss?”
Ignatia chuckled. “Let her rest. The attack she received from Kaelis is quite heavy. So, recovering might take a while.”
lody pointed and shook her head. “You might be wrong. Look, I can visibly see the wood growing back and reattaching.”
Thinking that Liu Shu’s body was full of precious materials, Ignatia looked down and started making clicking sounds with her throat. The clicks were not too loud, but the sound was piercing and far-reaching.
lody was curious about what Ignatia was doing. Her doubts were answered almost straight away.
Tens of thousands of ants surged from the ground and moved as one entity, gathering Liu Shu’s spilled sap, leaves, bark, and roots. With the tireless ants working on it, the field was cleaned up in less than 30 minutes. lody didn’t move during the whole ti, admiring the ant’s work.
“If Intelligent Races were half as efficient as your races, the world would be much different.”
Ignatia chuckled. “If that were true, then I would never surface and mimic the Terragore lifestyle. Who would want to deal with such a coordinated and tireless group of intelligent creators? I would just be asking for a beating.” Then, she snorted. “Thankfully, greed, envy, and many other qualities make for a great stopper of what the intelligent races could’ve been.”
“I guess you are right.” lody smiled before she looked around. “So, should we leave?”
Ignatia nodded. “I can feel that Flor is almost done with her Leveling Up, so I want to go and et her.”
“et with her?” lody teased. “Right. We are both old-tirs, and I know what you want to do. Still, consider leaving the corpse of that woman sowhere.”
“Hm? I was thinking of giving it to my babies.”
“Don’t.” lody spoke lightly and explained her reasoning. “If the enemy is truly so otherworldly power, they might want the corpse of their deceased back. It is better to keep it just in case. It can be our chip for survival with an uncertain future.”
Ignatia struggled. “Ugh… But my babies will love it!”
lody knew that the Ant Queen was ssing around. So, she just smiled and bumped her shoulder with hers. “Stop being silly. I will return and take a good shower. After that, gather the trustworthy leaders so that we can discuss what we discovered.”
Both won left the place, leaving the coast as peaceful as it was before they ca. No one would believe that three peak powerhouses had fought a life-and-death battle here, were it not for the altered landscape bearing witness to their clash.
anwhile, back in the Abyssal Void Nexus, the people cooperating with Kaelis had already started working on a thod to prevent news of their mistakes from leaving the surface of the world. They really didn’t want a Star Lord to be on their back because of Eryndis.
“Is that person so vengeful?” Asked one of them, doubtful about Kaelis’ hurried actions.
“Actually, Kaelis is just one of his bastard children. So Star Lords go from planet to planet and have children with locals. The children who end up becoming strong powerhouses then beco the proof that the planet they were on is one of quality. A Star Lord usually governs a very small region of space. So only govern a single Solar System, while others govern three or four of them.”
“How high is their level?”
“How high…?” The person frowned and muttered. “I am honestly sowhat unsure. However, they should at least be Level 150 or so, right? Only after Level 100 can soone traverse space without dying. Of course, the speed is extrely slow, and usually, it’s not worth it. Do you know how large distances in space are? Even with the lifespan of Sylvans, it is difficult to cover anything at just Level 100.”
While they planned and discussed, ti passed without news from Kaelis.
This made them sowhat doubtful.
“She might not want to be discovered.”
“Right. If she wants to be stealthy so as not to leave any traces behind, taking this long shouldn’t be sothing unusual.”
A month later, they started becoming nervous. “Hey. Even if she wants to take her ti, a whole month is a bit long, right?”
Another comnted. “Not so much. After all, isn’t the Wild Continent quite far away? She might’ve found sothing odd with the continent. Moreover, she has so teleporting treasures. It should be impossible to hold her back if she wants to escape.”
Half a year later, they all gathered again. They were still confused as to why Kaelis didn’t even send news back once.
“Did sothing go wrong?”
“Impossible. She is a . A decently powerful one at that. Moreover, she is a long-range fighter, and her ability to flee is top-notch. Only the major World Trees would have a chance to impede her escape.” The person denying it added. “The news about Eryndis is about to leave the world. We should focus on stopping that for now. Whenever Kaelis returns, she will put us up to pace.”
After that, so chaos occurred within the Abyssal Void Nexus as a few important people were ambushed within their domain and killed. Eventually, a whole year had gone by since Kaelis left.
That day, the world shifted as Ternary Essence sources around the world began trembling. Everyone in the entire world felt the presence of a new overlord perating the entire land that day.
The source of the surreal power spreading all around ca from, most surprisingly, the Wild Continent.
