anwhile, within the universe’s seat of power, Zanerth-O1, another eting concerning the Heart of Life was already underway.
The atmosphere there was a complete contrast to that of the Dead Zone.
The large hall was filled with dozens of Supre Realm Existences, not a single one concealing their overwhelming power, whether they were clones, astral projections, or true bodies.
All of them ca from different factions, so normally opposed to one another, but on this occasion, many of them had banded together as one, all because of the revelation of the Heart of Life’s presence in Zanerth.
"The information about the Heart’s presence in Zanerth has already been exposed to both armies. Not just our forces, but those Extinction Legion bastards know as well!" one Supre shouted.
Another imdiately continued.
"If this information spreads beyond the current parties involved, then the entire universe will beco a battlefield. The Extinction Legion would be the least of our problems!"
"Billions of Zenith Havens across the multiverse would turn their attention toward this place," another added. "Zanerth can’t withstand that kind of storm."
Several others voiced their agreent right after.
The Heart of Life wasn’t sothing any Zenith Haven Realm Existence could ignore. Rumours had circulated for billions of years about its power to help one reach Ultimate, and many had attributed their success to it.
Even among Ultimate Realms, it was an item capable of causing conflict, housed within the body of a mortal that they could end with a thought.
And now Akari had openly revealed its existence during her battle with Jamie, and had claid that Jamie had hidden it within Zanerth.
One of the many Supres present turned toward Miranda, who was busy reviewing several items on floating tablets with a frown on her face.
"Do you know where Westley hid it?"
Miranda didn’t respond imdiately, her attention still on the floating tablets, and another Supre spoke up.
"If you do know, then it must be removed from Zanerth imdiately before matters escalate further."
"And handed over to who exactly?" another asked coldly.
Silence followed those words for a mont before the argunts resud.
So of the Supres truly believed the item needed to be removed for the safety of the universe, while others clearly had different intentions.
They either wanted to claim it for themselves or for the Integration Realm Existences they secretly served.
Miranda slowly took her attention away from the floating tablets and observed all of them for a few monts before finally speaking.
"And if I did know where it was," she asked casually, "why exactly would I tell any of you?"
The chamber fell silent instantly.
One of the Supres frowned, striking his fist against the armrest of his throne as he spoke loudly.
"This isn’t the ti for gas!"
"No," Miranda replied calmly. "This is exactly the ti for gas. The mont the Heart of Life was revealed, every single one of you stopped caring solely about the war against the sa Legion that wants to wipe out all sentient life in this universe, and is completely confident in doing so."
No one could deny her words.
Even now, while they were gathered in this ’ergency eting’, dozens of calculations were already being made behind the scenes.
Search operations, tracking thods, and all kinds of dinsional scans.
So had likely already begun preparing forces to secure the item by force if necessary.
And the situation outside the universe only made matters worse.
"More of the Priestess of Causality’s subordinates are gathering outside Zanerth," one Supre said grimly. "The forces that followed her here during her confrontation with Jamie Westley are becoming increasingly unstable."
"They’re still holding themselves back because she’s disappeared," another added, "but they won’t wait forever. We can only keep them from entering by force for so long before they begin forcing their way into the universe."
That statent caused several expressions to darken. Akari’s subordinates weren’t sothing they could casually ignore, especially given the fact that the woman single-handedly ruled a Multi-Universal empire on par with Zanerth’s.
And yet, despite these grave concerns, Miranda seed completely unbothered. Even Jamie’s disappearance didn’t seem to disturb her.
So assud it was due to her confidence in Jamie’s power, and they couldn’t really fault that confidence.
Not many believed Akari could hold Jamie down for long, as they all knew that while Akari might be a Superior Zenith Haven like Jamie, there was a gap in power between them that she couldn’t overco.
They guessed Jamie would soon break out of whatever confinent he was trapped in, and if they wanted the Heart of Life, they needed to act within that window.
The problem was that the person most likely to hold the information they needed wasn’t soone to be taken lightly, either.
All of them present could tell Miranda had grown far more powerful than before, as she hadn’t hesitated to reveal she was a Supre Realm when she summoned them after Jamie and Akari disappeared.
’What’s more, even if we could hold her down with enough of us, the Werewolves and Vampires under her wouldn’t just stand by and watch.
Also, Sarina Aster is nearby sowhere, and she wouldn’t do nothing either...’
Just as one of the Supre Realm clones of a Grand Supre outside the universe had that thought, Miranda suddenly stood up.
The surrounding voices gradually quieted down, and Miranda waved her hand, dismissing the floating tablets around her before speaking.
"The war with the Neo-Extinction Legion is about to enter a new phase," she said casually. "So instead of wasting ti arguing over hypotheticals, you should all start preparing your forces."
Without waiting for anyone to respond, she stepped out of her seat and walked out of the hall, with several Vampires and Werewolves imdiately rising and following after her.
Miranda issued orders to the Supres of both races before heading toward the Seat of the Pantheon, where Rowena was silently waiting at her request.
"Lady Miranda, you’re finally here," she said as she rose from her seat. "What did you call for?"
The green-haired woman tilted her head slightly as she asked, and Miranda, exhaling softly, took a step forward and left behind a flaming imprint of herself.
The flaming imprint she left behind rapidly solidified, crimson fire compressing into the outline of a body before details ford one after another, skin, clothing, hair, and presence all recreated perfectly until an identical second Miranda stood where the flas had gathered, heat rolling off her body in violent waves.
