rcy crawled out of the rubble, her face ashen and incredulous. She couldn't believe what had just transpired.
Not only was a Quasi Legend Rank Array Formation destroyed, but the oldest legacy treasure of the Siren Hymn Temple of the sa rank was also shattered with it.
If the norms had been followed, this would have been impossible because an old Quasi Legend Treasure has its own slight sentience. It can even recover on its own and not be destroyed if the sentience is safe and hides itself upon feeling the threat of destruction.
Yet, not even a fragnt of the treasure remained, much less its budding sentience, and rcy was not just any oracle as well. She was an existence that could rattle the entire Unique Plains if she wanted to, and that's what made her even more fearful.
"Just how the hell is this possible?! According to that guy, when the last legendary key appeared, the Ocean Oracle was able to pinpoint it easily, even without the Great Augury Formation. Could it be that I used the Augury Formation instead of using my own prowess?
"No, even if that was the case, it shouldn't have caused that kind of backlash, even to destroy the legacy treasure! Or that guy lied to !" He muttered coldly while emitting an icy killing intent, but she quickly cald down. "But the chances of that happening are also none since we took the Tiless Oath, and we were supposed to work together…"
She was perplexed and indignant at this mont, 'What I'm supposed to tell the three empires? Those greedy fools only helped arrange the formation because I told them about the legendary key. If I don't give them anything, they'll most likely think that I'm hiding it from them to keep the key for myself. I can't have the Siren Hymn Temple destroyed until I'm here, or all my efforts will be in vain, and I won't be able to enter the middle plains. And without that statue, if I used the oracle's powers, the result would be the sa…'
In the end, rcy decided not to reveal this matter to the three empires. She suddenly placed her fingers on her forehead and muttered in an unknown language, "(Translation) Constant Hourglass of Tiless Wanderer!"
The next mont, a dark hourglass mark suddenly appeared on her forehead. She pulled her fingers back, and magically, sothing pulled out of her forehead—a small ethereal hourglass with a golden fra filled with starry black sand.
Grabbing the golden-frad hourglass with both hands, she muttered in a prying position in an unknown language, "I request a tiless eting with Golden Constant-87,001!"
The black sand within the golden hourglass suddenly churned and began to emit an arcane light while rcy remained in her position as if waiting for sothing.
Thereupon, a static voice rang in rcy's head, "Golden Constant-87,001 has accepted the tiless eting with Golden Constant-88,925!"
The next mont rcy's entire body suddenly enveloped in an ethereal black light before she vanished from her spot.
In a dark space, seemingly endless, rcy reappeared, but she wasn't in her beautiful rmaid Siren appearance, instead she was now just a silhouette of golden light with a black number in unknown language shimring over her forehead, which read'88,925'.
However, she wasn't alone. In front of her was another golden silhouette with another black number on its forehead: 87,001!
"Golden Constant-88,925, I was waiting for your good news!" Golden Constant-87,001 spoke, and his voice sounded static.
"Good news, my fucking ass!" rcy or Golden Constant-87,001 replied, and her voice was also static, but despite that, the frustration in her voice couldn't be hidden.
"Oh? It seed sothing unexpected happened?" Golden Constant-87,001 asked.
"Fuck! Just thinking about it makes angrier…" rcy started to elaborate on what happened when she tried to locate the legendary key.
"What?! That's impossible! Are you trying to back out of our deal?" Golden Constant-87,001 loudly shouted, incredulous as rcy.
"That's what I'm thinking as well, but I have no reason to make such an absurd excuse just to trick you, right?" rcy replied.
Golden Constant-87,001 into contemplated silence as if he agreed with rcy's statent. After all, if she weren't afraid of dying, she wouldn't have made such an excuse, not to ntion such an absurd one at that. rcy didn't disturb him and waited for his explanation.
At this mont, Golden Constant-87,001 finally spoke, "If what you're telling is true, then I'm just as clueless as you. This is the first ti I've heard sothing like this happening. Furthermore, the part about the legacy treasures of the 'rmaid Goddess' shattering is even more unbelievable since Faith-type legacy treasures have faint wisps of the entities of faith, and they are almost impossible to break. Give so ti to investigate, the City Lord owe a little favor, he might know sothing about this strange incident."
"Even if you found sothing, this didn't change the fact that we can no longer use the Oracle powers as we wish to locate the legendary. Soon, it will be 50 years since the key surfaced, and the city lord assured us that the path has not opened yet. However, the chances of the path of legend opening during that ti will increase by 50% percent, and they will keep increasing as ti passes.
"This effortless task is turning into a real problem now. Even the city lord mightn't have foreseen this since ATLAS had never failed to grab the legendary key in the past," rcy stated.
"This is indeed a sowhat peculiar situation. But it is not completely hopeless yet. Since we can't locate the key, we should try working on the second-best option. You should try locating this Faceless Ancient fellow; we might discover sothing.
"anwhile, I'll go back to the tiless city to seek the city lord. It'll take so ti and we can't waste any ti. I'm pretty sure the others will also be looking for this fellow for clues. Since our initial plan failed, we can only join the hunt now.
"Although it's a little late, I've heard that no one has been able to locate Faceless Ancient yet, so we have a fair chance as well." Golden Constant-87,001 spoke.
rcy remained silent for a mont before she agreed, "Alright since no one has located this person yet, this ans he's not ordinary. I'll look into him!"
"Good, constant eting concluded!" Golden Constant-87,001 vanished after saying words.
rcy followed suit, "Constant eting concluded!"
