Chapter 1508 Return [1]
WHOOOSH!
It was a huge wind, indicative of the speed the one who caused it had traveled to reach this place.
"Where?"
One word.
When the 4 Evils heard it, their bodies froze.
That voice...
That was the voice of a person they never wished to meet in their lives.
"Where?"
It was repeated, this time in a far sterner tone.
They were frozen, but they had no choice but to respond.
"He...he escaped..."
Lust spoke for the group.
"Escaped?"
The man looked between them. There was no emotion in his gaze.
"From all of you?"
He observed their states.
Gluttony was unharmed, and wounds on the rest of them were no more than surface level injuries.
But what was he sensing from them?
Was that fear?
"Disappointing."
Only one word again. It was like the man didn't believe they were worthy enough to converse with.
It didn't matter how the battle went or what happened with the enemy.
All that mattered was that the person the Lord wanted was gone.
The man closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings
His awareness spread across the entire Northern Region without halting.
And when he sensed no sign of the man he was looking for...
"Tch."
He clicked his tongue.
"I will report this to the Lord. Do not think your pitiful performances will go unnoticed."
The man didn't stop to look at the disgraces known as the 4 Evils any longer.
He only came here for one purpose, and as it had become impossible to achieve, he would return to his Lord and report exactly what he'd seen.
The 4 Evils could say nothing. They didn't try to stop him from leaving.
He was the owner of this cosmos, the supreme being that controlled any and all things within it.
Nobody in existence could stand his aura or look at him directly, so even his own subordinates had only interacted with him through telepathy from billions of kilometers away.
The Dark God.
The reasons behind his stasis were unknown to the outside, but while he never moved or truly interacted with anyone else, he was always watching.
Nothing that happened in the Sacred Abyss Universe could escape his perception.
And as Foreign Territories spread across the Heavenly World, he gained the ability to sense the undercurrents of that place as well.
'Something...is amiss.'
His thoughts didn't have true form. They'd reached such a spiritual level that they couldn't be properly phrased in existing language anymore, but that was something of a summary.
He could sense it.
In the True Void Universe, something major was happening.
His plans were being meddled with by an unknown factor.
'Something...I cannot sense?'
It wasn't that he couldn't sense it, but that he could only sense the absence of it.
There was something that should have been within the bounds of his perception, but instead of being there, it appeared as an emptiness too large to be possible.
That emptiness was uncomfortable yet familiar.
To the Dark God, who had never felt familiarity with anything outside of himself, it was an extremely concerning feeling.
'Find it.'
His thought was projected into the cosmos, sent to every being under his direct command.
'Find the anomaly.'
It had to be eliminated.
Throughout the entirety of time, anomalies like this were not rare. However, while they were not rare, every time they appeared, they'd cause scenarios that otherwise could not exist.
They impeded the Dark God's conquest, and in some cases, they truly managed to cause him trouble.
But they never succeeded in defeating him.
They never managed to achieve anything beyond what he allowed, because they'd be eliminated before they had the chance to do so.
This time was the same as every other time.
That anomaly would not be able to grow, nor would it be able to thrive.
That anomaly would fall, and the cosmos would become his.
After all, this was not the first cosmos to fall by his hands.
The Dark God was not a being who could be stopped.
This was a fact the True Void Universe would soon come to learn.
He would be sure of it.
