Chapter 579 A Change in Situation

In a certain Invasive Transcendent World currently circling a Density-1 World Zone along with its fixed star, a luxurious throne room adorned with gemstones and crystals was reviewing a holographic report being conjured by a metallic sphere.

There\'s not much fanfare happening, however, the tension in the room was like a boiling pot that was about to overflow. The seemingly sturdy floors made from marbles or some kind of mineral ore that exuded exquisiteness cracked under that pressure.

The report was sent from one of the Mine Worlds overseen by Serpent Sentinels of the organization located at least two World Zones away from their location.

Given how it lacked a comprehensive outline of a proper report through their guidelines,?the one being shown by the metallic sphere was considered a piece of urgent news from a Mine World.

As the undulating waves of Source Energy coming from the holographic image spread out across the room, every figure standing neatly before an elevated throne held their breath.

"My Lord, this small, urgent piece of information is sent by Serpent Sentinel named Ferne. Tertiary Overseer of the Mine World he is assigned to." An old man wearing a butler suit bowed in front of the elevated throne, providing information about the origin of the report.

Soon enough, the light from the small metallic ball subsided as the report finished playing. It returned a brief calm in the room. But only for a moment.

"Ferne? He\'s a native of this world." The figure atop the throne said. Their voice may not be thunderous but it\'s filled with regality and keen authority

"Indeed. He\'s from the Luceium City-State located at the northwest who distinguished himself during an uprising a hundred years ago."

"I see. Scribes. Record the exploit and send compensation to the City-State."

"Right away, my lord!" Two bald, white robes-wearing figures hurriedly answered as they ran to the sides with scrolls in their hands.

The old butler eyed them only for a second before waiting for what the figure atop the throne would say next.

In this Invasive Transcendent World, the Supreme Authority is held by that figure. A Sage Rank expert sent by the notorious organization, Overworld Serpent.

Here even if kingdoms, countries, and states exist across every corner of the world, the Serpentine Empire founded in the middle of the largest continent has a stranglehold on all of them. Without exception, an Imperial Embassy exists within their lands. The Ambassadors stationed in each Embassy are members of the organization. They\'re there not just to monitor the countries but also serve as advisors to the ruling government – sometimes instigating wars and conspiracies themselves in order to produce Transcendent Rank experts that will be scouted and integrated into the notorious organization.

In truth, more than half of the figures in this throne room are native recruits – even the old butler.

He could be considered a legendary figure of this Transcendent World, sweeping across numerous wars years ago. Now, even if he broke through the 5th Realm of his Transcendent Pathway he\'s nothing more than a servant to the Sage Realm.

His life and death still rests upon the expert.

"Rats."

The figure atop the throne eventually muttered. There\'s no emotion in their voice but the intensity felt by everyone was enough for their knees to tremble and their Source Energy put in disarray.

"In which hole did they crawl up to? How dare they?!"

"It--" A veteran old man in a set of black and red armor tried to answer that question but he was cut off by a rush of wind sent by the Sage Realm expert\'s furious breath.

"It matters not. T\'is nothing but an insect\'s struggle. Whatever their affiliation, their fates have been decided."

With that calm yet unnerving declaration, every living being present in the throne room shuddered in terror.

The old butler shook his head inwardly. "Such is the fate of the weak."

"This is bad," I said as I held a metallic sphere that was to be used to record a comprehensive report to be sent to a higher world controlled by the Overworld Serpent.

At the moment, my Companions have finished clearing up the surrounding Transcendents. Some surrendered when they saw how hopeless the fight became while some died fighting as they didn\'t want to be captured.

Still, one of these spheres has slipped off my grasp.

That perverted Rank 3 Transcendent who Irja and Sofiel took down by themselves used his remaining Source Energy for one last desperate attempt. No to take down someone with him but to send a sphere into the void when he determined that he was going to lose against the two women.

The sphere in my hand was something I pilfered from the twins\' Storage Equipment.

Through Adaptability, I understood how they worked and with the captured Transcendents testimony, I confirmed it to be true.

By now, a higher world should\'ve received that report and determined their next course of action.

Is it beyond my calculation when I decided to attack this Mortal World?

Honestly, no.

We\'re facing an organization.

This is to be expected.

But at the same time, with how far apart most worlds are and the scale of their influence, sending reinforcements or even opening a Portal here to send their experts to take us down won\'t happen instantly.

Not counting how I could suppress the World\'s Will to give his consent to opening a Portal, Rank 3 or above Transcendents won\'t be able to easily traverse the void to instantly travel here unless their Energy Control is on par with mine.

"Darling, I\'m sorry for not being able to prevent it."

Reacting to the words I uttered, Sofiel stepped forward to own up to it. And Irja followed suit.

They misunderstood me. I\'m not even blaming them. Besides, they did an excellent job taking down a 4-digit UPL Transcendent without any of my Support Skills.

I looked at them and shook my head, "You\'re not at fault. Sofiel, we experienced similar occasions in our past life, right? This is to be expected. And Irja. I have nothing but praise for the two of you. Cheer up. What we have to do is to decide our next course of action. No… Decide on how to deal with her."

As I finished my sentence, all of our eyes turned toward the frozen zone in front of us.

Like a land of death spreading across the sky, the veiled woman was already floating inside the storm of violent Source Energy.

At the moment, I had my Companions retreat to get out of its influence.

Strangely, I thought she was just gathering every last bit of her Source Energy and Life Force to unleash one last destructive attack that would obliterate us.

However, upon closer look… her eyes. The one unique aspect of her that almost spelled my doom earlier was the one in control of her mind and body. Or rather, it became something like a restriction, preventing her from self-destruction.

Whether it was sentient or not, I have no idea even as a former Divinity.

But we have someone who can answer our questions.

"Yuko."

"Yes, Dai-kun."

"Yse."

"How may I be of help, Daisuke?"

I called the two women who flew to my side.

One is the former possessor of the enigmatic Eye of Destiny and the other is the current. possessor.

Yuko even has her Foresight that can see through a glimpse of the future.

Together, I believe that they can unravel the mysterious occurrence happening before us.

"I\'ll protect you two. Please look into what exactly is happening to her."

As I said this, my body which was in the middle of recovery finally reached stability.

The faucet has been restored and I could feel the Source Energy flooding into my body.

Then, activating every defensive skill in my Arsenal, I led them into that winter hellstorm.
