Chapter 818 Incidents and Casualties

"How did they die?" Michael frowned deeply, his attention lingering on Rebecca.

"The Blaze family and their supporter say that Lepodya caused the deaths, but I don't believe that's the truth," She sighed heavily, "I used my Soultrait to analyze the situation and all given clues, and there is a high chance that the Blaze family's supporters assassinated them."

Even though Michael was busy in the Origin Expanse, he didn't forget to ask for news about changes in and around the Tritan Alliance. Nothing much happened for a while, but sudden 'Incidents' started two weeks ago. Some of those incidents resulted in casualties. The dead were mostly important merchants who'd been seen supporting Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs.

Simultaneously, many powerhouses started dying. More than ten powerhouses died in the last ten days. The official cause of their death was Lepodya, but that was hard to believe. They researched Lepodya and knew that the mortality rate was low and the deaths would come crawling slowly. A few weeks weren't enough for Lepodya to kill the powerhouses of High Society. Yet, they died.

That was bad, and it was even worse that the Nest didn't seem to care about the things happening in the Tritan Alliance. Michael was emotional and approached Evee more often than he wanted to acknowledge. However, the Curse User kept telling him that the anchoring of the bridges could not be rushed. A single mistake and the deaths of a few powerhouses would be their smallest issue.

But Michael didn't believe Evee. Not after she acted weird one time, but he went to her. Interrogating Evee wasn't a good option. She ignored his questions and cursed him whenever he started annoying her. Michael had to retreat, giving Evee the personal space she deserved.

Usually, he would call Alice quite often. He tried talking to her often and hoped to find her in the Origin Expanse to exchange news without an annoying pest clinging to his girlfriend. Unfortunately, Olivia was always present. It was like Olivia Blaze lived with Alice and did everything together.

Michael had no clue what was happening with Alice, Olivia, or the rest of the Zenovia family, but the situation didn't improve. If anything, Alice got to talk less and less. It reached a low point only a few days ago when Michael saw Olivia conjure a fireball in the reflection of Alice's eyes. Alice frowned deeply but didn't pay much attention to Olivia until the youngest member of the Blaze family released the fireball.

Alice was ready to evade the fireball. The fireball was slow and didn't bother her in the slightest. Unfortunately, the fireball wasn't aimed at her. The Expanse Prism was Olivia's target. She hit her target and destroyed it easily. The Expanse Prism shattered like glass, fragments of various sizes blasting in all directions. The last Michael saw was Alice's shocked expression lingering on Olivia.

Her expression was imprinted in his mind, and it haunted him whenever he thought about the Tritan Alliance's issues and that he couldn't rush over to help them. Even though he was strong enough to deal with most issues in the Tritan Alliance, Michael wasn't present to help. That was even more frustrating than being too weak to beat the crap out of the High Society's members.

"But that's not what you'll do, right?" Michael inquired.

"You're right. I was waiting for you, but not to beat you up," Selena nodded, "That's something I can do later."

"Later?" Michael ignored the eerie feeling that crawled up his spine.

"You and I will be going somewhere," Selena announced.

Michael's lips parted to say something, but Selena gestured for him to stay silent and listen carefully.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's probably the only chance you will be given. Hmm. No, that's not it," She shook her head, "It is the only chance your brother has to create a perfect vessel."

Michael's eyes widened in surprise. His heart palpated like crazy, and he couldn't find the right words. His mind went blank.

"I grant you the opportunity to learn more about Curse Transformation," Selena said, her smile widening as Michael continued staring at her, his eyes both blank and filled with hope.

"And to transform your brother's Living Soul into a perfect vessel."

"He will grow a body through his Living Soul!"
