He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact Chapter 507. Aftermath

Atlantis had fallen into the hands of Vimodial contractors.

The army was led by a vimodial contractor called Salarsa.

The empire wide signals and military satellites over Atlantis had gone completely off after the vimodial contractors took over Atlantis.

No one knew what was happening in Atlantis at the mont.

But it was obvious that the enemy did not want the empire to find out.

Because of that, they had used strange thods to hijack empire satellites over the realm.

However, the empire military knew that the enemy was planning sothing sinister.

Sothing that had to do with the enemy striking deeper into enemy territory.

According to trending news confird by the Astral Empire military, the kill counts during the siege of Atlantis was about 70,000.

This was the number of empire operatives that had fallen.

Generally, almost no one blad the failure of the operation on anyone.

Everyone in the empire, from military HQ personnel to citizens, had seen the broadcast.

The empire had fought with all they had.

But this ti, the enemy was just too strong.

However, a number of citizens naturally blad the military for underestimating the enemy.

They asked questions like, Why didn’t the empire send rank 7 supre stage galactic level powerhouse to Atlantis?

Why did they have to watch their loved ones get slaughtered? and all that.

No one blad them for asking those questions.

They were the grieving families from across the empire.

So of them had seen their husbands, daughters, uncles, aunts, nieces, friends etc, die gruesoly during the siege from the livestreams they watched.

Others didn’t see their loved ones during the live stream of the battles.

But the fact that they didn’t return with the empire survivors who retreated, was enough to let them know their loved ones had fallen in battle.

It was only natural that as they grieved, they’d find soone to bla for the deaths of their loved ones.

In this case, the military was the target.

However, the military took advantage of the situation to explain the situation at the Frontlines transparently to the citizens.

There was nothing to hide at this point.

The military made it clear that the rank 7 supre stage galactic level powerhouses, and other supre stage galactic level powerhouse of lower ranks, were in the extre zones of the empire, engaged in extrely lethal battles with vimodial contractors of equal strength.

So of these empire powerhouses sacrificed their lives at the extre zones.

They died fighting the enemy with each passing day.

Of course, these empire powerhouses also dealt damage to the enemy at the extre zones.

More and more of these powerhouses were sent to the extre zones to prevent the enemy from invading into empire territory because so died and had to be replaced as soon as possible.

If the powerhouses alive were to leave the extre zones even for a second, the catastrophe that would be unleashed by the enemy in the Astral Empire would have been deadlier than what occurred in Atlantis.

A particular higher up, whose disciple had been slain in Atlantis, was the one to reveal this information to the empire.

Grand Admiral Concima.

He was the master of Ross Kadn, one of the fallen heroes who bought ti for empire troops to retreat from Atlantis by sacrificing himself.

The bereaved families and friends empathized with the Admiral’s words.

Even though he was grieving the loss of his disciple, he was still executing his duties.

Were there not other powerhouses shouldering the weight of the empire while bearing their own burdens too?

The citizens had been mostly in the dark about this.

But now that this was known, they understood why the military had not been careless to just dispatch powerhouses protecting the empire at the extre zones to Atlantis just like that.

But, at the sa ti, the military made an announcent.

The war was now in empire territory.

Therefore, so of these powerhouses would leave the extre zone and co to various star systems in the empire to offer their protection to citizens.

Also, certain military strongholds would be established across several cities and star sectors of the empire, and would be headed by these powerhouses.

The empire was no longer going to underestimate the enemy.

This also ant that the work of the powerhouses who remained at the extre zones would be more burdenso.

The citizens of the empire knew that the situation was very grave.

The awakeners among them knew that they had to grow extrely strong to protect themselves. Personal strength was the ultimate key.

Those who were non awakeners and could only stay in their ho planets, and had no way to grow stronger, sighed.

It was at this mont that a piece of technology was introduced by an earthling awakener, one Helena Hall, a chief researcher from the Titanium Research Institute, during an exchange event in the Vatican Empire.

The non awakeners had hope.

Personal strength to protect themselves.

According to her, this was a technology developed with Colonel Kailen Darkhaven when he was on earth.

It was the ability to use certain wands to control beasts.

The use of the wands did not even require one to be awakened.

The wand would generate certain frequencies that would subdue the beast, sentient or not.

As long as the power in the wand was of the t requirents, the beast would do the bidding of the one in possession of the wand.

This news caused an uproar across the low tier civilisations.

Not only that, she, alongside several chief researchers in the Titanium Research Institute, released another piece of information.

They had managed to make a technology which could let non awakeners engage in interplanetary travels.

As long as the non awakeners injected the special nanoserum into their beings, it would be able to prevent their cells from crushing under the weight of the dense universe energy in the vast universe.

Although, they would still remain non awakeners.

But, coupled with the beast controlling wands, non awakeners would not be so powerless.

Helena Hall made the distribution of the beast wands and the special nanoserum free.

Absolutely free!

She was like so mother Theresa.

In fact so people even wanted to worship her.

A couple of higher ups in the Institute had plans of trying to monopolize her inventions for money, but when they found out she was connected to Colonel Kailen Darkhaven, they backed down.

Also, the Universe Alliance headquarters of the Low Tier civilisations heard of her research and issued a command that if anyone dared to monopolize the results of her research, they’d pay the price.

Due to this, no one dared to try any nonsense.

The results of the nanoserums were trendous.

Non awakeners could now travel the universe like awakeners could.

They were no longer limited to their ho planets.

But even with the beast control wands they could use to control beasts to defend themselves against so threats, the non awakeners knew that they could not be compared to Awakeners.

Because one’s personal strength was always ultimate.

If their beasts died, they were dood. And what if an awakener decided to swat you ,a non awakener to death, even if you had a beast under your control? Plus, awakeners could also have access to these beast control wands and could also have access to controlling beasts. The non awakeners could not go looking for trouble. But at least, they were not so powerless now.

So they were very careful in everything they did, especially now that the vimodial contractors were prowling on the territories of the empires.

The air was very heavy at the mont in the room.

No one said a word.

Suddenly, soone broke the silence.

"Why are you all staring at ?" Arnold chuckled.

But the tear drop that fell from his cheek revealed his true state at the mont.

Kailen was about to say sothing.

But Arnold stopped him with a hand gesture.

"Don’t.... Kailen. My father was not a child. He ventured to the battlefield, knowing fully well the consequences," Arnold added.

"I don’t bla you for what happened. We all did our best to prevent Atlantis from falling, and so did he. We were just fortunate to make it out alive. That’s all."

"I know. I don’t bla myself for what happened. I was trying to ask you how you are holding up. But I just realized it’s a stupid question, considering the fact that I know how it feels like to lose a parent."

Kailen’s gaze was distant.

Everyone in the room sighed.

They didn’t say a word.

Helena was also present.

Even Troy and Denisa, Phila’s parents, and little Felicia were around.

The mother of Zarek and Everlong had also arrived.

Everyone stood up and went to stand beside Arnold.

They comforted the demihuman.

At the mont, his cousin, Henrita, was also present.

Although Kailen didn’t have anything to do with her, her uncle was dead, and she could not be alone.

So, Arnold had brought her to Kailen’s establishnt in Long Hai training hall alongside the others.

"It’s been a rough month for all of us. But it’s been more rough on you, Arnold. But, I hate to say that we can’t mourn as much as we want. Ti is not on our side," Kailen said.

Arnold nodded.

"I know."

Henrita held his hand as he spoke.

"Which is why we can’t delay our training any longer," Arnold said.

"Yeah. But before that, I need to make sure that we don’t have to worry about the safety of everyone else. We are going to the Low tier civilization of the Universe Alliance . But everyone else will still be here.

The empire is no longer safe. I hate to say this but I don’t have a choice. It’s ti we make a call to your parents, Uncle Lawrence," Kailen said.

Lawrence widened his eyes slightly in surprise.

Even Arrie did so too.

Only the two of them knew of the eting between Kailen and his maternal grandfather in the Vatican Empire and what had transpired during the conversation.

They knew this was an extrely difficult for Kailen.

He had cut ties with them.

But for the sake of protecting his loved ones, he had to make a mature decision and bend.

The best place for them to be safe was the Sacred Sea Secret Sect.
