Who knew how this already enraged Supre Spiritual would act if he knew he couldn't even shine Dyon's shoes in the field of alchemy? Dyon wouldn't even accept him as an assistant.
"Control yourself Supre Spiritual." Supre Armant said emotionlessly. "We still need to decide who will go and end this farce. I don't think all four of us have to appear, correct?"
"Those thirteen can handle this, why should we step in?" Supre Earthen said with a sneer. "It's better than we handle this Supre Heavenly situation."
"Give her to ." Supre Spiritual said with a twisted expression. "I'll turn her into an obedient puppet."
"Controlling her will be easy, we don't need you to do such a thing." Supre Oracle said with a hint of disdain. "Just go and capture her daughter and throw her into a cell. That'll make her obedient."
"I've never had any qualms about playing with a mother and daughter at the sa ti. Why do you suddenly believe I can't?" Supre Spiritual sneered, not caring even a small bit for Supre Oracle's disdain. In his mind, she only acted like this because she was a woman. Who cared about her opinion of himself? It wasn't as though she was warming his bed.
"Brother Apollos, how long will this barrier hold up?" Supre Armant cut off their conversation before it escalated.
Apollos shrugged. "For as long as I deem it fit. She's currently experiencing countless tilines at once, though. If she remains in this state for too long, she may very well lose her mind. Not everyone can withstand such a thing, though she is in a unique position to do so considering how long she's lived…"
"This is good." Supre Armant nodded. "The plan can move forward then."
"Ai." Apollos said with a smile. "You'll be rewarded greatly for your service. This Luna is the last piece of the puzzle."
"I hope so. My Sprite Alliance has sacrificed a lot all for the sake of weathering the descent of the Ancient Battlefield."
"… Though he said watching losers act as though they had won would be funny… I didn't think it would be amusing to this extent."
The amiable atmosphere suddenly froze as five gazes once more turned toward the Unblemished Throne.
Luna, who was ant to have been incapacitated, once more had a clear gaze. She looked toward the four Supres and Apollos as though they were nothing but dancing clowns.
"You… How?" Apollos' eyes narrowed.
Even among Heaven's Children, he was a supre existence. The ability to casually manipulate ti as one pleased couldn't be described in re simple terms. To say that Apollos was near invincible wasn't an exaggeration at all!
Before him, Dyon's ti will was nothing but a joke. Even the Celestial Hamsters could only bow their heads despite the fact they had now shattered their Heaven's Chains. The gap was simply too large.
So how… How was it that Luna sat there completely unscathed?
Was Dyon a fool? The reason why he was so apprehensive about showing his true strength was because he didn't want others to have the capacity to prepare for him. But, if others could prepare, why couldn't Dyon prepare?
To now, it had already been almost two decades since Apollos appeared for the Federation eting. Could it be that Dyon simply ignored such a massive variable and never made any counterasures?
On top of this, even if Apollos never appeared, Dyon would have been prepared nonetheless because he knew from the very beginning that the power of the Tiless Library was controlled by a Heaven's Child thanks to Jade!
"You…! How do you have that!?" Apollos' gaze shivered with understanding and fear.
"Oh… This…?"
An illusory array placed on Luna's throne shimred and faded out of existence, revealing an ancient archway that King Mino and his daughter Aoife would recognize in an instant…
It was the Jafari Clan Treasure!
Back when the Kitsune attacked Dyon's ho universe, it was this very archway etched with ancient runes that protected King Mino's life until Dyon arrived. The truth was that everyone usually forgot that the Jafari Clan Treasure… Was fundantally a defensive treasure!
Why was it that all those years ago Apollos went out of his way to coax Sargeras into the Tiless Library…? Even if Sargeras was powerful, it wasn't to the extent of threatening those massive Outer Powers, right?
The reason was right before them now. While the Mino Clan had had the Space half of the Jafari Clan Treasure, Sargeras had had the Ti half! The very Ti half that had always been Apollos' Achilles Heel!
Luna's emotionless expression gave way to a gorgeous smile that seed to light the world.
"… My man gave it to …"
"You… You can't an that he was the one to draw this array…?"
Supre Spiritual couldn't stop the trembling of his body. He felt as though his entire world was collapsing.
Which genius of the soul path didn't practice multiple professions? Didn't even the Tower Quadrant's Sapientia Quadrant have those white robed youths? How could Supre Spiritual, a man who reached the pinnacle of the Mortal Plane, not also practice multiple paths?
Of course, there was a reason the taboo on array alchemy was in place. Many saw studying the two professions at once was too difficult – though this was obviously only a surface excuse levied by those lurking in the shadows toward its suppression. This was all to say that Supre Spiritual's formation knowledge fell far short of his alchemy, however, he knew enough to understand the level of attainnts it took to hide sothing before the eyes of Higher Existences…
What Supre Spiritual had no way of knowing was that Dyon had drawn this array with a casual wave of his hand. Even with his nonchalance, he never considered for a single mont that one of them would see through his creation. Dyon comprehension of array alchemy had long since left the scope of the Mortal Plane.
