Chapter 1639 Somewhat Of An Expert

"What took you so long?" Aphosis asked with narrowed eyes, his tiny body vaguely turning toward Equilius.

Yami looked normal while the question was thrown but he also read a subtle disturbance in her form.

Keman didn't seem to care and was discussing administrative matters with a glowing spirit who appeared to be some kind of assistant.

Aridam was meditating, exhibiting his utter disregard for an event everyone else deemed important.

Equilius, the man who had the most to lose, kept his gaze on Isadora. Since Sia and Enigma were unsure about not leaking their anger after facing Equilius, they cancelled their spirit forms.

Sarah decided to check Elysium until the meeting ended and only Isadora attended the meeting.

And what she faced was the strong stare of Equilius.

Even though the gaze was neutral, showing not a hint of hostility, the princess could read the turmoil in his eyes and the hatred brimming in his soul.

Varian felt it too. But he felt something more when his perception blatantly touched Equilius.

It was a disrespectful move by any measure and definitely not something a rank 1 would tolerate much less an empire pillar like rank 2.

Yet, Equilius allowed the perception to wash over him.

And that caused Varian's eyes to shake.

There was a trace of power inside Equilius. It wasn't certain whether it was granted by the source or stolen, but that power, no matter how faint it was, was something he would never forget.

It was the same power that established the curse inside Primula and let it run for millions of years, a timespan longer than the lifespan of most divine rankers.

The power of God Emperor.

Turning to Aphosis with a casual expression, Varian replied. "The weather was nice, we had a field trip in purgatory."

"Didn't we send you to Elysium?"

"Mors won't fall behind." Yami, who remained silent so far, spoke up. Since he showed no hostility so far, she assumed that either Equilius didn't do what he promised or that Varian did not know anything.

Before anyone could react, she reached out her hand and ruffled his hair. "Do your best, my child, the destiny of alliance rests on your shoulders."

"..."

Aphosis' indifferent expression remained but the way he stared at her with bulging eyes meant that even the most indifferent person on the site was dumbfounded.

The reactions of Aridam, Equilius and Keman were more visible. They blankly stared as if they were frozen statues.

Yami ignored their reactions and placed the tip of her finger on Varian's palm. A tiny red spark glowed at the fingertip and gently drilled into his body.

Varian shook for a moment before he held onto Isadora and stabilized.

"That's my experience and insights when I transvered the first realm of divine. I've also added what I've seen from countless geniuses over the eons. Even though it's just a reference, I'm sure you can make good use of it."

Varian pushed himself to smile and thanked her profusely for the help.

Even though it's nowhere near Synergy, it was going to help. Keman also followed her actions and with that, the Nexus trio also joined.

Due to the turbulence from receiving five bundles of tremendous insights, Varian's perfectly sealed aura leaked out for a brief moment and his state was revealed.

"...Mid rank 1?" Aridam muttered in confusion.

"See you all, bye!" Varian didn't want to get into a soft interrogation and summoned a space passage connecting to Hortus.

'Sarah.'

'Um!'

A golden light shot out of the green half of the forbidden region and the queen emerged with a few injuries.

The trio stepped into the passage and vanished. As they did, the rulers stared at his back, with a strong hunch that a great change was near.
