Chapter 947 Tablets (2)

Chapter 947 Tablets (2)

Axil, Loar, and Wings frowned. They knew Anshel of the Kingdom of Cretea was a fake Sovereign. Thus, his authority over Somuli was limited. Even his Sovereign's Cradle barely restricted the outsiders' level.

Proof of the cradle's low effect was its inability to suppress the level of outsiders that entered Somuli through a rift. Not to mention, the golden net could not even be seen by the outsiders.

Considering this, how could the Somuli's Sovereign expel Dusk and the other Sovereigns?

"You have arrived a tad bit late. That's why you did not notice the surge of magic energy just now," Dusk started after noticing their confusion and doubt. "If you have felt it, you'd know that Somuli had just birthed its new Sovereign."

Axil, Loar, and Wings were surprised. But they did not think such development was unexpected. Since they knew the previous Sovereign was a fake, it would only be a matter of time before the real Sovereign ascended.

When or how that was something they could only guess. After all, the rule that a plane would only recognize one Sovereign was absolute. Regardless of whether he or she was a fake. Only when the fake died or reverted back to his or her Sage state could a new Sovereign ascend.

It also went without saying, but a fake Sovereign could not be replaced by another fake.

"Let's meet with Kyran and understand the exact situation," Axil said after a short pause.

"About that... I don't think Dark Sage would like me hanging around him."

Loar looked at him exasperatedly, "What did you do this time? Last time, you even used my name to justify your actions the first time you met him."

"If I didn't tell him that, we would end up in a life-and-death confrontation—."

"If you did not provoke him first, that wouldn't have happened," Axil interjected from the side.

Dusk groaned, wanting to retaliate. However, Axil had a point, and so he could only respond begrudgingly, "When the situation in Armakea went downhill, I escaped by myself."

"Alright. You stay here and guard with Wings. Loar and I will meet with Kyran," Axil decided with a straight face.

"Fine."

"Can't I go with you?" Wings asked.

"Stay here with Dusk. I may have healed him, but he still needed to replenish his energy. If Chains suddenly decided to return, with the Sovereigns he brought along, Dusk will not stand a chance."

Dusk frowned, "It's not like us working together will make a difference if Chains brought ten other Sovereigns with him."

Wings glared at him in discontentment. But because Dusk had a point, she did not try to refute him.

"I never said you have to confront Chains and his group. All you have to do is escape. Activate the Long-Range Transmission Array and escape," Axil clarified.

"What about you two?" Dusk asked.

Axil raised her brows as if to say, 'What about us?'

The meeting was pretty lax. Basically, everyone there only exchanged information.

After learning what transpired in Somuli, Axil and Loar felt conflicted. They did not expect the Fates to personally come and interfere with Flos's and Obstruction's death. In the end, Kyran thwarted their attempt to repair Flos and Obstruction's thread of life and was forced to retreat.

This was the reason that made Axil and Loar feel the way they did.

None could stop the Fates once they personally appeared and moved, yet Kyran did.

Axil and Loar were not conflicted because Kyran defied the Fates. Instead, they were reminded of some things they learned from the Tablets they had collected.

"You don't look surprised," Kyran commented after both sides had completed exchanging information and giving their thoughts, especially with the matter of the Fates' intervention.

Axil sighed, "Dusk did tell us it was you who killed them. While the consequences of your action against the Fates are still under debate, how you defied them is unsurprising."

She waved her hand and took out a rectangular item resembling a small tablet made of crystal. She infused her magic energy into it and deactivated its protection array. After which, several golden runes emerged from the item's surface and circled rhythmically.

Everyone inside observed the circulating golden runes.

Most of them had their brows furrowed because they could not recognize the runes and understand what they meant— the only ones who could were Ames and Kyran.

But unlike Ames, Kyran could barely recognize the runes. Thus, he did not understand their meaning completely.

Ames wore a solemn expression while looking at the golden runes. She looked at Axil and Loar, who avoided her gaze, before turning her attention to Kyran.

'These golden runes are the ones used by the Ancients. Where did they get this?' Ames asked him telepathically.

'As I've explained, Axil and her faction have been roaming the Lower Realm, trying to gather as much information as they could about its history and a way to prevent the War of the Sovereigns.

'They gathered several tablets containing runes like this one for several years. I've requested to see these tablets previously, thinking that maybe the reason they could not read them was because they were written in one of the ancient magic runes.'

Kyran paused and narrowed his eyes before adding, 'Seems like I was half correct.'

Ames sighed, 'This is the first time I've learned you are interested in reading historical records written by the Ancients.'

Kyran looked at her with raised brows, 'You mean the tablets are really written by the Ancients?'

'Yes. And this one is only a small insert about one of the turning points of The Realm's destruction.'

'When you say Realm, you are not referring to it as the general realm, are you?'

'The Realm,' Ames repeated while closing her eyes. 'Is basically the complete realm where the Higher and Lower Realms belonged.'

Ames paused and opened her eyes, 'No... that's not exactly correct. The Higher and Lower Realms are originally part of a whole called The Realm. However, because of what happened in the past, it broke, creating these two realms.'

The next chapter will explain most of what happened that split The Realm in two.
