Inside the stadium, there was a large-scale uproar as all the nobles were surrounded by Imperial knights as if all of them were criminals.
"What the hell does the closing of the Tower have to do with us? Do you think we have that much power?"
"We are here to just watch, so what kind of treatment is this?"
"Are you not taking our status in the eye?"
Some nobles tried to push them away but as if plastered on the ground, the Knight formation didn't give them a leeway. Rather they pulled out their swords and prepared to fight back.
"Please don't make things difficult for us. We have got orders. If anyone here dares to create trouble, they will be killed without any mercy."
"You dare!!!!"
"We are nobles, not some puny roadside criminal you bastard."
Their aura burst forth but it was counter-attacked by thousands of Knights.
Angry roars sauntered vibrating across the place. The opposite forces clashed creating a large ripple and cracks started to form in the structure of the stadium.
"Duke Holmes, please say something. You are the noblest person here so please ask the knights to withdraw."
Duke Holmes's expression was already at its worst. His face looked as if he stepped on some shit.
He didn't know what was happening inside the Tower but seeing Ezekiel getting stabbed, he knew that Ezekiel would surely lose and his rank may fall after he came out.
His son who should be ranked 1 might not even be ranked 10 now.
He clenched his fist to the point that his nail dug deep inside his skin.
'Those Arts..I will fucking kill them.No, I will exterminate their whole family after this. You dare to use us and turn your back away from me.'
'Disgusting pieces of shit.'
Duke Holmes whose thoughts were running wild was suddenly woken up from his thoughts on hearing a sudden outburst and people gazing at him.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he raised his hands.
"All of you please calm down."
"Things are already quite messy. Let's not add fuel to the fire. The Knights guarding here is rather a good thing for our safety."
"All of you, have some patience and take a seat. Things will soon be over and the picture will be cleared."
The nobles could only clamour gritting their teeth and swallowing their anger.
At that time, their senses perked up.
Galloping across the city, three of the lights landed in the stadium before them.
The light faded, and the image of Two Dukes and Emperor appeared in everyone's vision.
Witnessing the Emperor appearing himself, their first reaction was to complain to the Emperor about this injustice served to them.
But all of them were forced to swallow their saliva seeing those dark hollow gazes of the Emperor that could suck their soul.
Don't think that you can step on him and do as you please because The Emperor is lazy and eccentric.
Once he becomes serious, you will witness one of the deadliest foes that is hard to guard against.
"What is happening here?"
A small yet ethereal voice that seemed to make the world freeze echoed across the stadium.
Kevin's white hair started floating and a murderous intent erupted from him.
"Brian!"
With a thud, Brian's figure covered in armour flashed before him.
"Your Highness!"
"What's going on?"
"The...The tower is closed."Brian's voice trembled in the middle as the situation was quite severe.
Much more severe than they initially expected.
As expected, Kevin's expression froze like a thousand-year block of ice.
Everyone breathing stagnated for a moment seeing that face.
The last time such an expression appeared on his face, every living being within a radius of 100km was frozen to dust.
"Did you talk with Sir Josh?"Kai intervened, seeing the situation getting out of hand.
"He is trying his best, he wasn't able to interfere. We are now inquiring about the students who were eliminated recently at the end of a boss fight."
Kevin closed his eyes for a moment.
The image of his daughter who was there for a safety check appeared in his eyes.
His heart started to burn in fury and the ground underneath his feet started cracking.
Taking a breath to think, he opened his lips.
"Destroy it."
The atmosphere became somber for a moment as everyone felt that they heard something wrong.
"...What?"Frank's eyes dilated and his hands trembled.
"I said break the Tower. If there is no Tower, all the spaces inside it would disappear and those who are trapped inside will come out."
"Fuck, are you out of your mind?!! "Kai screamed.
"That is a Godly artifact gifted to us by God, not your usual Tower where couples climb to take selfies."
Frank and others who heard this, almost lost their footing and glared at Kai, scolding him inwardly.
Kevin turned his head and his eyes locked on Kai giving him goosebumps.
"Do you think this is a joke? My daughter is there and so is your son. Do you want to stand here and do nothing and then cry if something happens to them?"
"And are you ignoring the sign of the world trembling? The flow is telling us to kill something. What if that thing is inside the Tower and might be killing our children?!"
Kevin roared, his voice carrying wrath sweeping everything with a strong chill gale…
Since a while ago, the world has been subtly telling them to interfere and kill it.
Though it's still unknown who it is or what it is, the world is warning them that this thing or person is dangerous.
"I have a plan."Frank stepped forward.ppp
"Contact the Holy State immediately. Maybe they can do something or ask God for help. If the Saintess and Pope directly interfere they might have an audience with the God who can give us a direction."
Kevin's eyes shone and he immediately ordered the personnel to contact the Holy Church but just then.
"No need!"
An old ancient voice echoed and a beam of light shot down from the sky.
The bright light enveloped Kevin startling him but he became calm as he knew the owner of the voice.
The Holy Lord Pope used his magic to send a signal from the Holy State directly
A warm pleasant voice echoed in his ears.
[Just stay put and wait. Everything will calm down. Don't interfere. It is the command of the Goddess. Ignore the world's calls.]
[I repeat don't try to have second thoughts.]
"Why? What's going on? Who is this guy the world is warning us about?"
The voice paused for a moment before speaking.
[He is mortal who transcended the very malevolence of the world.]
[ A mortal whose existence transcended the very existence of this world.]
[A being who doesn't kill just your life but your dreams, your ambitions and your very existence in all timelines.]
[A mortal who isn't crowned yet revered Sovereign of all.]
[He who destroys order and seeks chaos is here.]
[The Sovereign is here.]
The moment his voice fell, the blue crystal clear sky turned to blood red for a split second.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the world was shrouded by crimson veil.
...........
Inside the Tower, a deep silence lingered that was broken by a vicious roar.
"You dare interfere."
Suddenly with an earth-shaking roar, the monstrous pupil burned with fiery rage and grotesque tentacles shot along with anger reverberating like thunder tearing across the sky as he unleashed a torrent of powerful blasts carried by tentacles.
The humongous tentacles were aimed at the boy who stood there with a loud grin on his face without cowering back.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
A thunderous voice echoed as the tentacles crashed into the ground creating a large-scale devastation sweeping throughout the place.
A wave of dust swept everything clouding everyone's vision that was blown away by Abacharu's violent roar.
Calvin and his men who were unprepared for all this were blown away like rag dolls.
"My Lord, please calm down."
"Don't waste your breath on such pathetic insects."Calvin pleaded trying to appease Abacharu as the ego of Supreme beings were quite big.
As the cloud of dust dissipated, a trail of large-scale devastation and cracked earth surfaced in everyone's vision.
However, what they noticed later shook them to the core.
Despite such an attack, the group of students who should have died after getting caught in the aftermath were nowhere to be seen.
Instead of scenes of their bodies tattered and flattened into pieces of meat, what they saw were the floating bodies of the students flying away towards the safe zone.
Abacharu who was staring at the scene cautiously suddenly felt a shiver and turned his gaze to notice all the tentacles holding Ice Dragon Hilsa frozen by an unknown force.
SNAP!
A snapping sound echoed and a red line went past the tentacles tearing them apart.
The Guardian Spirit Hilsa as soon as he was freed moved inside Julian's body and Julian's figure started falling into the ground.
Before her body could crash into the ground, her body was suspended in the middle of the air.
Soon, an ice Throne appeared out of thin air over which Julian's body rested comfortably.
From behind the Ice Throne, a boy walked as if stepping in the middle air staring at Julian's with his closed eyes.
"It has been countless years since I saw you."
"I will kill-"
"You dare to interrupt me!"The boy shouted, waving his hand.
Abacharu, who extended his tentacles to attack, suddenly felt a repulsing force and his body crashed into the ground with a loud bang.
BOOM!
As he turned back towards Julian, countless emotions flashed on his face.
"In the reminiscence of my past, in the scenes of the future and the glory of the present, you are the one who adds value to my existence, weight to my presence."
Extending his hand, he slid his finger across her face and wiped the faint drops of tears lingering near on her eyes.
His breathing started becoming heavier, and his sound of heartbeat started echoing in the vast place as if beating the drums of war.
His face then abruptly turned towards Abacharu whose body flinched back with an unknown premonition.
"Congratulations."
"For what?"Abacharu asked while condensing his power to drag this guy into a deadly illusion.
"For pissing me off."
"Fool!''
Following his words, a strange glint flashed from Abacharu's huge pupil.
The entire area was covered with green.
Lucas's floating figure was suddenly covered with a seperate space, locking him through countless illusions that started to drag him down.
Thousands of eyes appeared around him showing images of vile and depraved creatures targeting him.
"Now, you are going to be trapped in here. I thought of sparing others but after your imprudence, I will kill everyone in this place."
Hearing his sentence, Lucas couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Kekekekekekekeke!"
"You want to kill everyone in my presence, how brave."
"Since you challenged me, let me tell you something. I don't give a shit who you have killed or what you have done so far but from now on..."
"From this very moment, you can't touch anyone and you can't kill anyone, the only thing that is left for you is despair."
"Stop showing off. You didn't even open your eyes for fear of meeting my pupil and getting destroyed."Abacharu shouted with crooked laughter.
"Hehehehehehe!"
But suddenly his laughter stopped as he found that something was amiss.
The boy who should have been screaming in despair stood there with the same nonchalant expression.
Lucas raised his brows and muttered while extending his hands to tap the space before him, "Such guts, even that duckhead Mephisto wet his pants when he stood before me."
CRACKLE!
Large-scale cracks started spreading like cobwebs and soon the space shattered like glass.
"You dare insult my liege!"Abacharu screamed.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!"
Hearing the angered voice, Lucas's lips curled upwards with an evil smile.
Soon the light of the entire world was cut off, drowning everything in darkness.
"You want to ask me, who am I?''
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"Come on…ask me again while looking straight into my eyes."
With that, Lucas finally opened his eyes, after which only one question rang like thunder in Abacharu's mind.
'Who the hell did I provoke?'
