"This is also the reason you did not report Anomaly's existence when he ca to you, huh?
I was right about you, you are indeed quite brave."
Seraphielle spoke, and Tenzin's expression changed.
They…
They shouldn't know about that.
He hid it perfectly, he even erased his people's mories, so unless the Infinities suddenly caught Anomaly, which wasn't true since the Anomaly still existed… it shouldn't be possible…
Unless…
They sohow traced back Anomaly's movent…
But how…
The Anomaly ca here for the Temple of Ti—
Not many people knew that.
Even those Progenitors from Tenebris, who told the Anomaly about the Temple of Ti, he went there and erased their mories.
That shouldn't link Anomaly to the Temple of Ti either…
Unless…
Soone who knew Anomaly before he beca the Anomaly was keeping an eye on him from the shadows.
Tenzin's expression changed.
And the mont he thought about it, Seraphielle smiled, almost as if she was applauding him for guessing the right answer.
Tenzin, however, wasn't happy.
He frowned.
How… how did she know what he was thinking…?
He wondered in his head.
Seraphielle smiled at him.
"You didn't report him because you did not wish for us to find her, huh?
Why is that, I wonder?"
The Infinity of Light tilted her head in curiosity.
"Why would you go to such lengths to hide your disciple from us?"
She asked.
Every single being in the Universe wanted the opportunity to show off theirs or their disciples to the Supre Worlds.
Why?
Because if any of the Supre Worlds took them in, they would get opportunities they otherwise never would.
A better environnt, better safety, guaranteed survival, and absolute authority in their own world.
Being chosen by the Supre Worlds was a matter of great honor, this was also the reason Seraphielle asked why Tenzin seed so against it.
And Tenzin—
He did everything in his power not to think about the answer.
Because he knew.
He knew that these chains that were binding him weren't normal, that sohow, they would give Seraphielle exactly what she wanted.
And he was correct.
These chains…
They told Seraphielle exactly what he was thinking.
"You knew."
Seraphielle comnted.
"You have noticed how so people… disappear when they are recruited into Supre Worlds.
We make it so the Universe forgets about them, we erase their existence so even their families wouldn't know about it—
But because you were connected to Ti itself, you… knew.
You just didn't know where they disappeared to or what happened to them—
But you knew that the instant we learned about this child's existence, she would disappear too and you wanted to avoid that."
Seraphielle read Tenzin's mind. Tenzin didn't show any reaction, as if he didn't wish to confirm those thoughts, but again—
It simply did not matter.
Seraphielle knew she was correct.
"That is quite amusing.
You knew more than I expected, I guess you stayed silent because you did not wish to incur our wrath.
That was a wise decision."
She nodded.
But then, her face turned even stricter and—
"But you still hid information from us.
That girl, I understood.
She was your disciple, you had the right to hide her existence from us.
But you hid vital information from us, you hid the Anomaly's whereabouts when you knew we were looking for him.
You are the reason the Universe is in the state it is today and…"
Seraphielle took a small pause as she glanced at Vashti, then she turned back to Tenzin and—
"Your disciple will pay for your mistakes."
'NO! NO! PLEASE NO!'
Tenzin begged in his head. Since he knew Seraphielle could hear his thoughts, he tried to use that to communicate with her.
To talk…
To… beg for rcy…
But of course, Seraphielle didn't care.
She acted like she couldn't even hear him, Tenzin could beg all he wanted but Seraphielle—
"And don't worry."
She spoke.
"I will make sure you see every single second of it.
Even better, I will make sure you understand every single mont of it."
Seraphielle announced, then she looked at Orravyn, who was done with the preparations. Orravyn didn't look at her, at this point, he wasn't even listening to half of whatever this woman was saying.
He had no interest in her sick gas.
Ul'Thakar was the sa, he was already disgusted and had left the room. Equarios, on the other hand, was basically keeping an eye out.
Well, to be honest, the Infinities didn't care even if anyone saw them, they had all the power to hide everything that was happening in there, they just didn't bother because they knew it wouldn't matter.
There were about fifty more beings in the world they were in and every single one of them had sensed their presence.
But…
Was anyone among them going to move?
No.
Heck, they wouldn't even talk about this once this was over, not amongst themselves, not with other beings in the Universe, simply because they knew what the consequences of those actions would be.
But even then—
Equarios thought it was a good idea to keep an eye out in general, more so because he was bored of whatever was happening there.
The fight between Seraphielle and Ul'Thakar that was still going on was far more interesting, but even that too had beco sowhat boring since both Seraphielle and Ul'Thakar had brought in more of 'them' there and the ones fighting now were rely clones that were only there to keep up the appearance of fighting.
When everything was prepared, Orravyn finally made his move, he grabbed Vashti's head, this ti even more firmly, and now that the connection was made—
He pulled it out.
A white, translucent form of Vashti from her own body—
It was her soul.
And her soul—
"Please!— Please no! I beg you!!"
It was crying and begging in the ugliest of ways possible.
She was desperate, she was… scared, frightened to the point where honor, embarrassnt, humiliation—
None of it mattered to her.
And it wouldn't because Vashti had already seen what was going to happen to her.
This was the reason she chose to kill herself before anything could happen.
Tenzin, when he saw his disciple's state, his heart shook, he felt a pain he had never felt before. Seraphielle, who was reading his thoughts, nodded.
And then she began describing every single thing that was going to happen from then on, as Orravyn did it right in front of him.
"As I am sure you can already tell—
That is your disciple's soul.
This will be the key ingredient for the relics we are going to create."
The mont Tenzin heard those words, his thoughts moved quickly, he quickly noticed how Seraphielle didn't say relic, she said… relics.
Multiple Relics.
Seraphielle smiled, glad that he noticed it.
"That is correct."
She nodded.
"We aren't here to make one single relic. See, the thing is, while your disciple is special, she isn't strong enough to give us what she wants if there is only one of her.
We need… many.
Fortunately for us—
A soul is… a special existence.
Its size can vary, be it small or excessively large—
It will have the sa ability.
So what we are going to do is expand your disciple's soul and then cut it. Then we will expand her again, then cut her again.
Expand, cut, expand, cut, and we will do this until we have… trillions of her… soul's pieces.
Pieces that can then be used to create our relics."
The more Tenzin heard, the more frightening it sounded.
Cutting… the soul…?
One had to know, the soul was far, far, far more sensitive than the real body.
Heck, Nux pierces one's soul with needles as a way to torture his captives, and almost all captives give in within a few seconds.
Just the pain of a needle piercing through one's soul was more than enough for even the strongest of beings to cave in—
But to cut the soul itself… that too… trillions of tis…?
One couldn't even imagine the extent of pain that would bring.
Tenzin looked at his disciple's soul in absolute fright, he tried to move, to free himself and kill all these vile bastards, remove them from existence, but the worst part?
Even that single thought in his mind was read.
"So that is what you wish, eh?"
Seraphielle grinned.
"You are cruel, I will say that."
She comnted, looking at Tenzin. Tenzin looked at her with fear and Seraphielle's grin widened—
"You knew we wouldn't like it if you had such thoughts about us, you knew that we would take our anger out on your disciple to punish you, yet you still did it…
I was considering giving her rcy considering how desperately she had been begging, but now—"
Seraphielle paused, as if she wanted to enjoy every single mont and—
"But now I won't."
She then glanced at Orravyn and—
"Continue."
She spoke. Orravyn didn't care about what she said, he moved after making careful preparations, Seraphielle had just tid everything so well that it seed like he moved the mont she told him to.
Not that Orravyn cared, he was… too busy doing what he was doing.
The next mont, a strange knife appeared in his hand and the mont Vashti saw that knife, her eyes widened in an even stronger fright and—
"NO! PLEASE! NO!! I BEG YOU!!! PLE— AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
She scread in pain, a scream that shook the entire world they were in, but… no one moved to stop the Infinities.
The girl they had loved and spoiled all this while—
Now they could only helplessly hear her scream and clench their fists with their heads bowed.
"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
