The entirety of Veltharis was now connected to the Crown of Peace.
The crown slowly rose from Orravyn's hands and hovered above Eryndor for a slight mont, then, it deepened its connection with Veltharis's Will and… disappeared into it.
'It is done.'
Eryndor said in a respectful tone.
"Good."
Orravyn nodded, then he stepped forward again and once again, he placed his hand on Eryndor's head.
And this ti, although he did access his mories, he didn't search it, he… began to erase it.
The mory of this complete mont, ever since the ti paused, he appeared and Eryndor connected the Crown of Peace to Veltharis's Will—
Orravyn erased it all.
Why?
Simply because he didn't bother ordering him to keep his mouth shut, the secret won't be revealed if no one knows that secret.
That was the way Orravyn did things.
And once he was done here—
Orravyn stepped back.
Ti resud.
The wind started moving, the rivers flowed and the people shifted as if nothing had happened.
And it wasn't just the normal people, Eryndor, standing on the sa platform he had been standing on all this while, stared at his people and—
"—the closer we move to equilibrium and… the perfect Universe.
The one where Balance reigns Supre."
He completed his grand speech, absolutely unaware of what had happened just now.
As for Orravyn, he disappeared, as if he was never here in the first place.
…
What happened in Veltharis didn't just happen in Veltharis, it happened with every single world that existed in the Universe—
It didn't matter what was happening in the World, it didn't matter if the Worlds were at War, half of their army was missing or anything—
As long as these worlds existed, Orravyn visited them.
Yes, he, or more accurately, his clones visited trillions of worlds, all at the sa ti, stopped the ti flow, grabbed the beings who could access the Worlds' Wills, made them connect the Crown of Peace with their World's Will and… removed their mory of the entire incident.
It was like a Universal Wide Ti Freeze, even if any being tried to map the mories and understand what happened—
They wouldn't understand because the entire Universe went through the sa experience, there was no… baseline to compare it with.
It was like…
Ti itself was paused at a Universal level and every single being in the Universe was affected by it without actually realizing it.
That was the power of Orravyn Eternity, one of the four strongest beings in the Universe.
Why didn't he use this ability to defend all the worlds from the Anomaly in the first place? If he kept his clones everywhere, they wouldn't have to bother with such hassle.
And it was true, that was possible.
But only if they knew the Anomaly was going to attack.
Because even Orravyn, with all his powers, couldn't create trillions of clones, strong enough to stop the Ti Flow of entire Worlds, including High Level Worlds, without significant use of energy.
If he used it for more than a few hours, the amount of energy left within him would reach a critical level, enough for the other Infinities to use this chance and kill him without using much of their energy.
And Orravyn—
He had no plans of sacrificing himself for the greater good of the Universe like his foolish mother did.
"It is done."
Orravyn, who, after all his clones returned to his body, appeared in the Infinity Hall and spoke with an expressionless look on his face.
As if what he did wasn't a big deal.
The other Infinities nodded, they knew how capable Orravyn was, so they did not doubt it.
"So… what now?"
Ul'Thakar asked excitedly.
He didn't usually like working with these three, but this ti, he had to admit.
This was… fun.
He was excited to see what was going to happen from here on out.
"Now we wait."
That was when Zylarith, who had called again, spoke with a calm look on his face, as if everything was under his control.
"The mont the Anomaly appears—"
He spoke with a strong shine in his eyes.
"We will capture him."
"Heh, look how excited you are."
Ul'Thakar grinned.
Zylarith looked at him and grinned—
"Should I not be?"
"You should, you indeed should."
Ul'Thakar's grin widened, almost as if he was mocking him and the mont Zylarith sensed that, he… he frowned.
"You…"
He looked at Ul'Thakar, then he looked at the other three Infinities and—
"You do not plan on going back on your words, do you?"
He asked directly, without holding anything back and the instant he did—
"Of course not. How could you say that?"
Ul'Thakar answered with an offended look on his face.
"I am offended.
To think you have such a low opinion of us."
He comnted.
Seraphielle smiled as well—
"It is surprising, indeed.
And I thought we were allies."
Equarios and Orravyn didn't say anything, but they too, had smiles on their faces. Ul'Thakar then looked at Zylarith and—
"Don't worry, Zylarith. As we promised, the mont we capture him, we only need his mories and his soul, you can have his physical body, we have no need of that."
He spoke directly, all this while, the grin on his face never faded away.
Yes, he wasn't even trying to hide it, none of the four Infinities were. They had… absolutely no reason to give Zylarith what he wanted.
Sure, he did give them valuable information, if it wasn't for him, they probably would have never found Vashti since that monk was hiding her so well.
If it wasn't for him, Light and Darkness might still be at War with each other, the Anomaly might still be devouring more worlds and getting stronger—
To the point where he is actually strong enough to defeat all of them.
Technically, Zylarith's information did save them all, but…
So what?
Sure, Zylarith helped them but…
Because he told them every single thing they needed to know while he was trying to convince them, now, he has no leverage over them.
Zylarith, as strong as he once was, now, he was barely an entity of the past, an entity who shouldn't even exist, an entity that has been hiding almost all the ti since the very Universe is after it.
What could he possibly do to them even if they went back on their word?
Nothing, Zylarith couldn't do anything.
Sure, they had signed a Black Contract, Zylarith did have control over quite a few of their children but…
That was the loss the four Infinities were prepared to take.
After all, this was about a being who had reached a level where he could defeat Eternals in a matter of seconds in less than ten thousand years, even Infinities, who were favored by the very Universe, weren't this strong in the first ten thousand years of their lives.
Not that a proper concept of strength was established back then, but whatever it was, the boy's growth was absurd.
Plus, there was also the strange ability to not exist in this Universe's ti, then there was appearing and disappearing from the Universe anyti he wanted, the ability to avoid fate itself—
That boy was… a treasure trove of secrets—
Secrets that could… change the way they viewed the Universe…
It was obvious that a loss of a few Supre Borns couldn't possibly be compared to the possible knowledge they could acquire.
So yes, the Infinities were going to go back on their words, that much was obvious.
What was more complicated was… how would… they distribute the spoils?
The Anomaly had… quite a few things the Infinities were interested in…
His body, his mories, his mind, even his soul, every single thing about him was… interesting, sothing all of them coveted. Then there were also his wives, won who, according to Zylarith, were also once part of the Universe, but now that doesn't seem to be the case since even their fates cannot be seen.
The Infinities believed this was because of Anomaly's ability, but even then, they were prepared to take those won, read their mories and take out any value they could provide.
There were many possibilities but…
All of that ca before they decide how to divide the spoils.
But the thing was…
None of them wanted to discuss it, they knew every single one of them was planning sothing, none of them would keep their word, so signing pointless contracts and losing their currency was… foolish.
It was much better to let every single one of them plan what they wanted, then, when it's the final deciding hour—
May the best win.
Yes—
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the mont these four beings capture the Anomaly—
The Four Supre Worlds might go to War.
A War far bigger and more chaotic than the War between Light and Darkness.
And Zylarith—
Who could already predict this—
He just smiled inwardly, still showing his frustrated, helpless expression outside as he actually prepared to watch the show from the sidelines and…
Take the spoils for his own use.
