Shade Lord Kremlin crashed heavily on the stage, causing a small crater to form. A large cloud of dust was whipped up in the air following his crash, and he groaned loudly.
"Urgh!"
"Damn, that was painful!" Shade Lord Kremlin complained. Then, from inside the cloud of dust, his large frame could be seen getting back to his feet.
With a swipe of Shade Lord Kremlin's hand, that cloud of dust was dispersed.
Patting himself all over his body, Shade Lord Kremlin finally recovered to how he was before.
Arran could feel his teeth aching from the sight.
After suffering such a huge blow and landing on the stage with such force that was enough to cause the entire stage to shake, Shade Lord Kremlin did not look as if he had suffered any damage at all.
There was not a single injury on Shade Lord Kremlin's massive body... not even a single scratch.
Apart from the little bit of dust that clung to his body, Shade Lord Kremlin was othe
Facing Councilman Homer's solemn declaration, Arran stood standing on the stage with his mouth agape.He was completely awed.For the first time, Arran truly understood what it meant when the Aeth were called the overlords of the Ether!There was only one word that could explain what Arran was witnessing now.Domineering!Facing three powerful Shade Lords, Councilman Homer did not cower... not only that, but he was even threatening them with war to their faces.If this wasn't domineering, then Arran didn't know what was.Naturally, councilman homer had the right to be domineering. That is because standing behind him was the mighty Aeth civilization, overlords of the Ether. One of the many upper realms in the entire universe.Shade Lords Scholler and Kremlin had terrible looks on their faces. It seemed like they were about to say something. But before they had the chance, the hidden Shade Lord Dark Nether beat them to it and sai
"Abyss door!""What's that?" Arran wondered.Seeing the actions of Shade Lord's Scholler and Kremlin, Arran wondered what they were actually planning. The aura around the two of them was very strong, and they were causing a lot of commotion.Whatever it was, it was something big, and from the looks of things, Councilman Homer recognized what they were planning to do.Finally, unable to bear his curiosity, Arran spoke up at this time after keeping silent since the appearance of Shade Lord Scholler.He asked, "Councilman Homer, forgive me for interrupting. But what is an abyss door?""In the end, what are they doing?"Councilman Homer did not seem to mind Arran's question, and it didn't look like he was in a hurry to answer it too. He just started explaining things to Arran while also keeping an eye on Shade Lord's Scholler and Kremlin."An abyss door is a kind of large-scale inter-planar teleportation gate that functions specifi
The black dot, like a hole in space, gradually widened as if a whole new world was opening up before their eyes.Arran, who was looking at this phenomenon, was awed by the wonders of the universe.Watching the gradually widening black dot, Arran felt as if he was peering through the darkness to see the light on the other side.As if just by looking at the black dot, he could understand the mysteries of space and time.Arran could feel his head buzz and it was like a torrent of information was rapidly entering his head and he could understand a few things.Arran's vision blurred for a moment before everything went back to normal. When Arran look at the black dot again after blinking a few times, his sight completely changed.Before, when Arran looked at the world, all he saw was a world full of vibrant colors. The information his eyes could pick up and transmit to his brain was so much that his brain could not handle it, and most of that info
Floyd...As soon as Arran heard this name, he immediately who this elderly man was.Councilman Floyd... Arran had heard of him before. He was a senior member of the Aeth royal council. Although the position of the council member was equal, with none of the thirteen being higher than the other in status, there was still a concept of seniority that was based on when a council member started their tenure and how long they had been in office.Councilman Floyd was one of the oldest council members in office. He had served in the royal council for much longer than Councilman Homer was.As a relatively new council member, Councilman Homer was mostly at the forefront of every affair involving the royal council, while older members like Councilman Floyd usually sat behind and took care of relatively simple but not necessarily easy matters.Arran smiled wryly once again.He was wondering what was happening to him today. At this moment, he was meeting
Councilman Floyd was explaining the basic principles behind how the abyss door worked. Like a sponge, Arran listened attentively and soaked up this new knowledge."Now, needing the coordinates of a specific location doesn't seem like a disadvantage. As long as the coordinate of a place is captured, then it is possible to open an abyss door regardless of whatever means if available to prevent such things from happening. I should tell you that the abyss door is one of the very few rare spatial teleportation abilities that ignore spatial restriction to open a channel directly to where it wants to connect to. This means that as long as the coordinates are captured, there is no stopping an abyss door from opening.""If this is the case, why do I say that this is a disadvantage of the abyss door?""It is because there are many ways to hide the coordinates of a location.""Take this world, for example. Although it is possible to find out the coordinate of the su
Arran continued with his analysis."After I foiled the Shades' first plan by killing Carrum. They were forced to use their backup plan. This was letting Shade Lord Scholler whose power had parasitized Carrum condense a projection and appear over here.""After this, under the cover of the chaos caused by the forced corruption of various people, Shade Lord Scholler used his projection as a medium to invite Shade Lord Kremlin and dark nether. From there, the rest is quite easy to figure out.""With the help of both shade lord's Scholler and kremlin, they set up a beacon for the abyss door to locate the exact coordinates of our world.""The rest is history."Arran finished his analysis.Finally, he turned to Councilman Floyd and asked, "Did I get everything right?"Clap!Clap!Clap!"Splendid boy!""You did wonderfully. Your analysis of the events leading to this stage was spot on. I couldn't have done it bette
Just as Councilman Floyd started speaking, wanting to explain things to Arran, suddenly the situation with the abyss door abruptly changed.Ooooh!There was a loud groan coming from the sky above everybody's head. The large abyss door that had been expanding suddenly shivered, causing the entire space to tremble for a moment.When the trembling finally stopped, the abyss door also came to a halt.It had visibly stopped growing...It could be seen that the abyss door was finally complete.Following this new development, silence fell in the entire venue. the originally chaotic place that had been ravaged by a small skirmish following the clash between those people that had been forcefully corrupted and the white armored warriors had long come to a stop. It was only the final clean-up of the venue that was ongoing. As for what was happening on the stage where Arran was, nobody interfered with it at all.But as soon ass the abyss door sto
The entire plot had finally been laid out, and everything was bare for all to see.The key scheme of the Shades of invading the Aeth lay with two individuals... Shade Lord Scholler and Shade Lord Kremlin.These two were the most important pieces of the puzzle that were the Shade's invasion plan. Of the two of them, Shade Lord Scholler was the main lead.He was the one on whom the success or failure of the entire plan rested.If the Aeth had wanted to resolve all this from the very beginning, they would have had to take him out from the equation right at the start because without him, none of the plans of the Shades would have come to fruition.Arran was finally able to see the full picture and what he saw made him admire the Shades just a little.As a race that had made a name for itself in the universe, even if they were one that had been run out of their homeworld... the Shades were still a powerful race that could compete with most of the
