"That’s weird? Wasn’t I supposed to be Intermediate...?"
"Dude, take a look at your stat levels and tell me what’s ’Intermediate’ about that?"
Evan spoke as another diaphanous board appeared before Arthur, showing his ridiculous stat levels.
Health– X3+→½♾ (50/100)
Energy- X3+ (99/100)
Strength– X3+ (65/100)
Agility– X3+ (57/100)
Durability–X3+ (55/100)
Intelligence- X3+ (49/100)
For context, Arthur’s base stats were all previously ’X (1/100)’. In other words, all his stats had increased by a minimum of 149 Stat Levels.
"Exponential Power increase indeed."
Arthur nodded in understanding as he got to his feet and stretched, before turning to Evan.
"What about you? How are your stats?"
Evan just snapped his fingers, and the figures on the board in front of Arthur changed to reflect the stats of someone well into the Intermediate Stage of Sovereignty.
Health– X2 (49/100)
Energy– X2+ (57/100)
Strength– X2+ (58/100)
Agility– X2 (47/100)
Durability– X2 (44/100)
Intelligence- X2 (44/100)
Hmm? Evan was just an Inferior Sovereign? Since when did Singularities conform to common sense?
Not now, not ever.
Just as Evan was about to speak up, he, as well as everyone else suddenly sensed a distortion in the fabric of space.
The space nearby swirled and swirled until it broke apart, forming a spatial gate. From within the gate, an oppressive aura poured out, making it hard for the mortals here to breathe.
All the Sect Elders frowned, Arthur protected himself with Cosmic Energy and Jamie’s brow twitched as he turned in the direction of the gate and spoke.
|Faulin, control yourself. There are mortals here. |
Jamie’s True Voice pushed the oppressive aura back into the spatial gate, and a moment later, two people stepped out.
At the sight of them, Evan’s eyes widened in shock and recognition. Arthur also frowned lightly, while Sect Master Chang quickly came over from where he was before.
The first out of the gate was a man wearing long regal robes. He had emerald green eyes and long silver-green hair flowing over his shoulders.
Beside him was a man with a lean and built body. He had short silver-green hair and light green coloured eyes with a golden sun-shaped earring on his left ear.
The man was dressed in casual clothes, with a jacket hanging over his shoulder.
Immediately the two appeared, a pair of notifications manifested in the visions of all those present.
[The ’Heavenly Celestial King’ gazes in your direction]
[The ’Sun Celestial Lord’ gazes in your direction]
Celestials. A race that was the direct enemy of the Devil Race.
This was why Arthur frowned. The Infernal Dimension was the home ground of the Infernal Devils.
From the expressions on Jamie’s and Sect Master Chang’s faces, they clearly did not plan for his presence here. So why?
|Westley! Why did you ta-|
"For Pete’s sake, please speak normally, Faulin. We’re doing something here and we don’t exactly want all the mortals here to pass out because of you."
Jamie cut this Celestial King off, clicking his tongue in annoyance as he used magic to awaken the consciousnesses of those who had passed out from the oppression of a High-Tier Deity’s True Voice.
Of course, he protected the teenagers near him so they were fine.
After doing this, Jamie then turned back to Faulin with a brow raised.
"So? Why’d you come barging over here?"
"Would I be here if you didn’t bring my disciple here first?!"
"Disciple?"
Jamie, brows still raised, glanced at Sect Master Chang who also shook his head to show he didn’t know who this ’disciple’ of Faulin’s was.
As for Evan, his eyes immediately snapped in a certain direction, locking onto a particular blue-eyed Celestial with Ice powers.
This reaction of his didn’t go unnoticed by those near him, and immediately, the pieces clicked in Jamie and Arthur’s heads.
They knew the reason why Evan had been sent back in time.
He had been fighting ’Fallen Celestial Deities’. Arthur had also informed Jamie about Evan’s reaction to the existence of the Celestial called ’Gard’, who possessed an Ice Skill and the Rogue Hero’s confirmation that the future ’Gard’ was part of those who caused him to get sent back in time.
Now, faced with a Celestial King talking about a disciple, Evan’s eyes immediately shot in Gard’s direction.
Faulin didn’t notice this though. Or rather, he simply didn’t care. Only the other Celestial who was standing next to him, his son, the ’Sun Celestial Lord’, Conroe, focused on Evan.
"Glazard!"
Faulin called out while reaching out with his hand, and unsurprisingly, "Gard’s" body floated into the air and over to him.
’Gard’, or rather, ’Glazard’ was the disciple that Faulin had spoken about.
The Celestial King had sent him to a sect that primarily dealt in Ice techniques, and that Sect was also involved in this ’Secret Realm Exploration’ scheme, so Glazard ended up here as well.
Faulin glared at the Elder of that Sect and the man’s expression hardened lightly. He had certainly not expected Faulin to come over in person, much less to bring his son along.
Conroe was a ’Celestial Lord’, but he was a High-Tier Deity as well. If you took away Faulin’s title of ’Celestial King’, then he and Conroe were tied in power.
But more than that.
’If he came here with Conroe, then the Infernal Devils might take it as an act of-!’
The Sect Elder’s thoughts came to a halt.
That was because what he had been fearing happened.
The Sky above them tore open and an aura even more oppressive than Faulin’s poured out.
|Seriously!? What is wrong with you people?!|
Jamie shouted in annoyance. He’d just told one Race King to tone it down and now another was doing the same thing!
In response to his shout, a streak of light shot down from the sky and crashed on the ground and the aura receded.
|My bad, Westley. But you see, while I’m fine with you hosting your little game in my Dimension, I don’t recall permitting some certain green rats to enter here...|
Emerging from the dust, was a man who looked like a stereotypical humanoid devil.
He stood ten feet tall, with twisted horns, five pairs of bat-like reverse wings, and two spiked tails trailing behind him. His long, pitch-black hair framed a menacing face marked with red streaks on his left side, and his eyes mirrored the same dark void.
The ’Supreme’ Infernal Devil King, wielder of the ’Absolute Death Authority’, Miacav.
Even for Arthur and Evan who had never met him, it was very easy to tell who he was after feeling the strong ’Death’ he emanated.
Jamie sighed and facepalmed, shaking his head at the antics of these two Race Kings. He waved his hand and sectioned off the space they were in, preventing their passive auras from leaking out and making the other non-Transcendent cultivators pass out again.
As for the Infernal Devil King, he was about to start tongue lashing Faulin, when he suddenly froze. He sniffed the air and then turned in Arthur’s direction, tilting his head as he asked.
"...you smell like a Leviathan. Why?"
"Because I’m the son of one."
Arthur responded with a casual shrug, wondering if Devil Races had a special ’Smell’ trait that allowed them to ’smell’ other Devil breeds.
The last time he summoned Leviathan Devils, they also mentioned him ’smelling’ like one too.
Upon hearing Arthur’s response, Miacav narrowed his eyes, before turning to Jamie and asking.
"He’s the new Progenitor kid who made a mess on Toverus, right? Didn’t they say he was Lucifer’s Descendant? Wasn’t Lucifer a Pureblood?"
Miacav’s question caused Evan’s eyes to widen in surprise and he snapped his head in Arthur’s direction.
"Wait! You’re Lucifer’s Descendant?!"
Evidently, Evan was completely unaware of this fact and Arthur just nodded at him with a raised brow.
"Yeah. Didn’t I tell you before?"
"You only told me your mother was a Devil."
Evan shot back and Arthur nodded once more, explaining his ancestry.
"Yeah. She’s Lucifer’s granddaughter. My grandad is Lucifer’s son, and he had a kid with a Leviathan Devil. That kid’s my mother."
Arthur’s short explanation seemed to make a lot of things click in Evan’s head. The boy turned towards Faulin and Conroe who were speaking with Glazard, prompting the two Deities who sensed his gaze to turn towards him.
"Pfft...so this is how it all happens."
Evan burst into laughter, earning confused glances from all but Arthur and Jamie who guessed that the boy had probably thought about something from the future.
[Why are you laughing like a madman?]
Jamie spoke to him via telepathy, and though Evan was momentarily surprised at the sudden voice in his head, he quickly got over it and responded.
’No. It’s just that the reason I’ve kept my mask on all these months has finally happened.’
Evan responded, placing his palm on the mask, and Arthur, who was also added to the telepathic link raised a brow in confusion.
Jamie just shrugged, not particularly bothered by this and turned his focus to the two Celestial Deities looking at Arthur and Evan strangely.
"Alright, you’ve got your disciple, right? Time for you to go before this Infernal muscle head starts a fight. I mean, just look at him."
Miacav who was suddenly dissed by Jamie, turned his focus from the Celestials and shouted at the Hybrid.
"Oy! Who’re you calling a muscle head?!"
In response, Jamie turned towards him and answered without a second’s hesitation.
"You. Who else?"
Miacav’s brows twitched repeatedly in annoyance. However, he understood that he couldn’t pick a fight with Jamie as that’d just be playing into the man’s hands and confirming his words.
Jamie, knowing this, laughed at the sight of the Infernal Devil’s twitching brows, before turning back to Faulin.
"Why’re you still here? Do you really wanna start a fight here?"
Faulin’s mere presence in the Infernal Dimension already had dozens of Infernal Devil Kings turning their gazes here, only choosing not to descend as Miacav was already here.
"..."
The Celestial King said nothing, just turning around and recreating the spatial portal that led back to where he came from.
Once Faulin and his son had left with Glazard, Jamie then turned his gaze back to Evan.
"Oh, right. Evan, show this muscle head your flames."
"Enough, Westley. Let’s take this outside."
Miacav reached out, grabbed Jamie by the collar, and was just about to haul him off the planet when Evan casually conjured a small flame on his fingertip.
The Infernal Devil froze mid-motion, his head snapping toward Evan, eyes widening in shock.
