Chapter 1415 Her Reason

Chapter 1415 Her Reason

Zahara Onyx tapped the armrest of her chair with her index finger. With each tap, time power infused into the armrest and rippled into the surroundings.

The millenial flowers in her room, said to bloom for a thousand years began to wilt as these ripples touched them.

Under the overwhelming power of the woman, even the lifespan of a millenia was over in a blink.

The hologram playing in front of her showed Varian being cut into two—once along his waist and once across his torso. Both times, he managed to heal back. That in itself wasn't surprising. But the fact that it seemed so effortless and costless to him was suspicious.

"Zahara..."

A voice rang out of nowhere and a whole galaxy seemed to flash past her in a blink.

As she gasped for breath, the woman found herself on her knees, facing Princess Eshala on her dazzling tone.

"Greetings, Princess."

Even though it had been so long since she first saw her, deep reverence rose from the bottom of Zahara's heart upon greeting her mistress.

Eshala looked at Zarah for a moment and nodded to herself. "You're about to take the leap, huh? Not bad."

"It should happen in a few weeks. It's been long due, Your Highness. I'm ashamed at my lack of talent."

"It's true that you aren't very talented." Eshala agreed.

If anyone heard this conversation without knowing their identities, they'd have tried to beat up Eshala. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Zahara was less than 4500 years old and was all set to take the final step. But for Eshala, this was significantly slower.

A good genius from the Empire, starting from scratch would reach the peak of rank 9 in about 2000 years.

Interestingly, a thousand of those two thousand would be spent in rank 9 itself!

The journey to divine rank begins after these 2,000 years.

The gloom in her mind about her stagnation disappeared even further. Instead, a fervent desire soared in her heart, threatening to overtake her entire soul.

'The more I watch him, the weirder he gets. If there's only 20% chance that he's the sliver owner before, I think it's 40%.

It's not even the slivers of the path I walk on but it doesn't matter, does it?

If I capture the slivers and capture them I will, it'll be a feat even greater than capturing the Alliance.

Then, I wouldn't have to serve in this stiffling job anymore. I can finally retire and live the life I've always wanted. Even though it's too late, but I can make up for her.'

Threads of memories that she long suppressed almost broke out.

Memories of a broken family. Of slaughtered children.

And that of the only child who survived the onslaught. Eshala's biggest desire was to meet the child she had to send far away for safety. But a normal thing for many mothers had become an impossible challenge for her.

'The Emperor is merciless but fair. He would reward me properly.

With four slivers in his hand, he'd be unstoppable.

The Alliance would crumble under his might and he'd gather the six slivers in the cosmos.

What happens next...is none of my concern.

But fair to say that if I do this job well, all the roadblocks to his future are essentially removed.

I'd be saving him millions of years.

So...maybe he'd not just let me free and live with my child...with his newly reached powers, he might even...ressurect my dead children.

Yes, yes, he will.

Kids, please wait for a bit longer. Mama is coming to you, soon!'
