Chapter 925 Fates

Chapter 925 Fates

An oppressive aura enveloped the whole Somuli plane as time seemed to have come to a standstill. However, most inhabitants did not seem to have noticed it. Only those inside the defensive arrays that Kyran enhanced felt the change.

Although they were not affected by the standstill, they still felt the massive pressure coming from that oppressive aura, and their insides constricted in pain.

Only a selected few withstood the pressure, including Kyran's Servants, marked Knights, True Void, the Abbot, and Ames.

One reason the former two could withstand the pressure was due to their being affected by the Void's nature, which seemed to counter a Time-related spell itself. As for the latter three, rather their ability to withstand the pressure because of their nature or strength— True Void being a sentient born from a magic weapon with Void nature, the Abbot being the most powerful mage in Somuli and had almost completed his ascension to Sovereignty, and Ames who did not belong to the Lower Realm— they were inside an isolated independent space that still belonged to Somuli yet being hidden to the rest, similar to the temporary world Kyran created for the Spirits. This space was created to ensure that the Abbot's ascension would not be felt and discovered by the outsiders.

Speaking of outsiders, there were also a few who managed to withstand the pressure even without any defensive arrays to protect them simply because they were Sovereigns. Nevertheless, that was all they could do— withstand the pressure but were helpless to do anything else.

Kyran's expression turned cold as he watched Flos's and Obstruction's severed heads, stopping in midair. But it was not only their heads. Kyran's movements were also suspended in midair.

"Two threads with foreordained charges has been forcefully severed... error to future codex has been detected... applying error fix..."

The voice, which seemed to belong to three different women, resounded once more. After which, another wave of deafening boom covered the plane.

Uneven squared lines filled the sky as golden ancient runes rained from above. But these runes did not touch the ground. After arriving at a certain height, they dissipated in the air.

Kyran gritted his teeth. Just by the few words spoken by those mysterious women, he gleaned that they were trying to stop what he had done.nove-1B.1n

From this, he more or less guessed the identity of those women.

Fates.

Kyran had his suspicions about the Fates' association with Time magic since they represented the Past, Present, and Future. But he did not expect that they would truly utilize Time magic.

Did they not say there could only be one person who possessed one type of Ancient magic?

Just as this question crossed Kyran's mind, a sardonic voice answered in his head, sounding much like his own.

You possessed two types of Ancient magic. Draconic magic is not even solely available to you. There are real Dragons, like Ames, in the Higher Realm who can wield it better than you. Don't even get started with Void magic. You bestowed its nature to your Servants, which allowed them to utilize it in combination with their innate magic. There's also Neah and Layla, both able to use Soul magic when only one of them bears its core. Why would it be any different for Time magic? Not to mention, the ones using it are called Fates. They can not be considered an average being. At most, they may be similar to the Dragons, who can use draconic magic.

While the reasoning that flashed through his mind was sound, it did not alleviate Kyran's mood. As a matter of fact, it only got worse.

With the Fates' appearance, they were practically saying that they could not allow Kyran to sever Flos's and Obstruction's foreordained charges.

The meaning of those definitely did not sit well with Kyran. From what he could understand from it, Flos and Obstruction seemed to have a very important charge or— for a more easy-to-understand term— a mission that would happen in the future. However, with Kyran killing them at this moment, that future would never happen.

"Locating interference...

"Failure to locate... Re-attempting...

"Failed...

"Starting emergency protocol... Inputting Emergency Codex...."

Red-colored Ancient Runes started to pour down from above. However, these runes did not overlap with the golden Ancient Runes, but they surrounded them, seemingly trying to remove the Void Runes that mingled with them.

However, the red runes failed to move the Void Runes.

"Warning... unable to input Emergency Codex... Interference cannot be located..."

The intermingling voices of the Fates resounded throughout the plane. While they were speaking, Kyran's influence grew as his whole body resembled a huge dark purple sword that crackled with dark purple bolts of lightning.

Without even doing anything else, Kyran's aura alone tore through the Fates' error-fixing attempt, resulting in Flos's and Obstruction's severed heads unable to return to their bodies.

FOOOM!

Another deafening boom resounded in the whole plane as the unevenly squared lines in the sky started to crack open.

Six cracks appeared, resembling the shape of an eye. However, rather than revealing white scleras and colored irises, there was only darkness.

But in the middle of that darkness, a blinding light resembling searchlights fell upon Kyran.

After this, the oppressive aura that weighed on Somuli multiplied by a dozen times.

The defensive arrays that Kyran enhanced immediately cracked under the increased pressure from the aura. Those inside also felt it, and some officers who had pretty low levels keeled over.

Even the isolated independent space finally sensed the pressure, which then alerted Ames.

Ames's closed eyes snapped open as she looked up. She was unable to see what was happening outside, but she recognized the aura of the Fates. Her beautiful face immediately soured as she contemplated leaving the independent space and trying to alleviate the pressure coming from them.

But even as the thought crossed her mind, another aura exploded that shocked even her.

Outside, Kyran remained undeterred as he released the Shaiha's concealment and unleashed his aura.
