"I… I was sent back…?"
Lord Light muttered in utter disbelief as he opened his eyes and realized that he was back in the Temple.
Just… how was this possible…?
He couldn't believe it.
Did… the Anomaly know he was there?
But even if he knew, these stars weren't connected to the Light Borns in the normal manner; these stars were… a part of their soul.
They were ford the mont they were born—no power in the universe should be able to break the connection between the Stars and the Light Borns.
And Lord Light, who had absolute control over these Stars… it should be impossible for his connection to a Light Born to break, no matter what the enemy did.
Unless…
'No, that isn't possible.
The battle hadn't even started yet.'
Lord Light shook his head, and the mont all these thoughts appeared in his head, they disappeared as well. He knew this wasn't the ti to think of such matters.
He needed to return.
He needed more information on the enemy.
With that thought in his mind, he leaned forward, wanting to return, but then suddenly—
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE
THUNDER THUNDER THUNDER
The universe trembled again.
—and Lord Light froze.
"What…?"
He let out a word; the possibility he considered before reappeared in his mind, and a chill ran through his body.
He leaned forward with a tense body, looking into the orb, and the mont he did—
He took a deep breath, and his tense body grew even tenser.
It… it actually happened…
A total of one hundred and four stars had disappeared from the Orb.
Yes, these were the sa Light Borns he had teleported to face the enemy—they… they were all dead—or in this case, devoured.
'But how…?'
Lord Light couldn't believe it.
More than a hundred Light Borns… just like that?
None of these Light Borns were weak; they were all Eternals who were at least a few million years old, experienced and stronger than most beings in the world.
To take down a hundred such enemies… that too… in less than a second…
The enemy…
It was clear.
Lord Light gulped.
The enemy was an Infinity…
It wasn't a threat he could deal with on his own.
Slowly, he turned towards the statue at the far end of the Hall—
"Lady Se—"
He tried to call out, but then—
[L-Lord Light.]
A voice was heard.
One of the Stars in the Orb began shining brightly, interrupting him midway. Lord Light froze, slowly turning around, waiting for the Light Born to continue.
[Y-You need to see this for yourself.]
The Light Born answered. From his voice, it seed like he didn't even wish to explain what was happening.
Lord Light frowned at that. He stared at the 'Star' he was talking to carefully and realized that it was a Light Born who had been sent to investigate one of the worlds that had been devoured.
With the frown still on his face, Lord Light once again extended his hand, accessing the shining star and possessing the Light Born's body.
Once again, his surroundings changed—and there—he saw it.
A ridiculously huge projection of a handso being.
A tall man cloaked in black and silver robes, a ridiculously handso face, and golden eyes that Lord Light instantly recognized.
He…
He was the sa man who had challenged the Supre Worlds before, the voice that represented those bold but foolish people…
The Chain Breakers.
[A good day to you all.]
He began, his greeting similar to before.
[I hope you have not forgotten .]
He smiled charmingly, staring right into Lord Light's eyes, as if he was aware that he could see him.
[A few hours ago, I ca before all of you, taking responsibility for the destruction of fifty-six rcenary Worlds—that was when I made you aware of our little group and our intention.
And as one would expect, many of you mocked us, many didn't believe us, many called us crazy, many thought we were overstepping our boundaries, many just waited for us to be crushed like the bugs we were—]
The man's golden eyes then turned cold, reflecting a rciless light—
[Many looked down on us.]
He spoke, and Lord Light, who was hearing those words, stared at the scene wide-eyed, his body trembling ever so slightly.
[Our ssage was spread, discussed amongst people like we wanted it to be, but… it wasn't done to spread awareness—it was done to mock us.
It made us realize how deeply trillions upon trillions of years of slavery have affected the minds of common people. Even people who aren't directly involved with the Supre Worlds laughed at us and actively looked forward to the Supre Worlds crushing us—
And this led us to make our second move faster than we originally planned.]
The man took a deep breath, as if letting the listeners prepare for what was about to co.
[I said it before,
We will destroy every world that bows to you.
We will erase every being that serves you.
We will drag your na through blood and ash.
We will show your so-called 'followers' what happens when they put faith in false gods.
And that is exactly what we did—
Fifteen.
Fifteen Worlds, and not just any worlds—fifteen High-Level Worlds, worlds that the oh-so-great Supre Faction cherishes the most—
We destroyed them.]
He spoke as he clenched his fists, a wild, unfiltered grin appearing on his face. The man then finally looked back into Lord Light's eyes again and—
[And you know the most exciting part?
When we were destroying the worlds the Supre Factions cherished so much, the Supre Worlds—the so-called 'protectors of the universe'—were utterly helpless.
They did nothing.
Just like I said before.
Because the truth still hasn't changed.
You, the oh-so-mighty 'Supre Worlds'—
Cannot protect what's yours.]
Nux's grin then widened even further, his face distorting in a terrifying manner—
[The oh-so-mighty 'Supre' Worlds—it has begun.
From here on out,
Your rule will rot.
Your influence will burn.
And your na…
It will no longer command fear, but suspicion and doubt.
Because from this day forth,
We, the Chain Breakers, declare an all-out war.
Every single world in the universe that is even remotely connected to the Supre Worlds—be prepared,
We are coming for you.
And keep it in your mind—
Your protectors won't protect you.
Just like they couldn't protect the worlds I destroyed today.]
