The Underground Inner Palace

Within the Dark Blood Jade Palace

The many maids around the palace had suddenly disappeared, systematically rushing out of the palace hall and running to various hiding facilities.

Only Delouse and Avic were left in the Blood Jade Palace.

Delouse’s black braid was like a scorpion’s tail; the red tail pin was floating in front of Avic’s face, only a finger’s distance away from piercing into his right eye.

The two of them were in a stalemate.

What’s odd was that even though Delouse’s face was covered in blood and her facial orifices were still bleeding, her expression showed a ferocious smile.

"This absolute protection….. Really sets an expectation…" Delouse started laughing, and her voice suddenly turned deep, resembling the deep voice of a man, hoarse and gruff!

She still had her slender body, beautiful face and blonde hair, but her eyes became two black whirlpools.

Avic’s face turned pale, his body shuddered, and he could not stop his throat from shaking, almost as if he was trying to stop himself from puking.

"You….you’re God Cloud….?!!" His voice turned hoarse, carrying a sliver of hope, hoping that she gave the opposite answer.

"You guessed right." Delouse smiled. "From the beginning, I have been God Cloud. Or rather, Delouse, since the beginning, had been my clone."

Suddenly, Delouse’s expression changed and became lovable and soft again."Your majesty~~ don’t you love me anymore?" Her voice returned to that of a gentle female’s.

A usually delightful gentle voice was giving him the chills at that very moment.

"You... You!!" Avic felt sick from the inside, a strong revolting feeling was rumbling in the pit his stomach. To think that he slept with a man for so many years, he couldn’t help but shudder,

Dense layers of goosebumps appeared on his skin.

Finally

"You monster!!" Avic roared, and took a few steps back, he was surrounded by an invisible barrier, protecting him from any harm.

God Cloud had a snickering expression again.

"Your Majesty, how can you speak of me in such way? So many days and nights, have you forgotten all of them?" His voice was interchanged between a man’s and a woman’s voice.

Avic could not stand it anymore. With a pale face, he lifted his hand and pointed towards God Cloud.

"Kill him! Kill him now!!!" He shouted

In an instant, three powerful silhouettes appeared from around the palace. It was as though they came out from a void, and had been there from the beginning and never moved a muscle.

The Illusionary Arrray’s abilities had masked their presence so that nobody noticed it.

Even God Cloud was slightly surprised.

He took a glance at the three people surrounding him.

Captain Woods of the Silver Knights in the National Service?

Out of the trio, a white-haired old man holding a wooden staff smiled at him as a sign of agreeing.

"Never expected it to be Sir God Cloud coming here, being able to see the number one genius of yesteryear, is indeed my honor."

Old man Woods wore a white robe with a silver inscription, and a necklace made of white skulls was dangling over his neck. He gave less of an impression of a knight, but more of a pagan witch of an indigenous tribe.

God cloud shifted his sight to another person. This man was stern-faced, the black robe he donned was very tidy, and he was holding a blue dagger with a black hilt. A humid scent of seawater was faintly surrounding the dagger.

"So you’re here too, Veska."

Veska remained emotionless.

"Who would’ve guessed that First Concubine was God Cloud. Since you’re here, then don’t bother leaving."

God Cloud laughed and he looked over at the last person.

"King of the Stars. The head of Geometry Service is here too?"

The last one was a young man, he donned a black noble uniform, his face white and handsome, and he was fiddling with a drawing pen in his hand. Oddly, the drawing pen’s tip was flickering, as though it was an ember.

"Sir God Cloud, this time it’s you who crossed the border. This is Kovitan Empire, not your Dark Maze."

The three people formed a triangle as they surrounded God Cloud, each of them had a natural expression but placed all their attention on God Cloud.

"Looks like you intend to detain my clone. This cannot happen, my three main clones have all gone through tumultuous effort to produce." God Cloud smiled again.

With a flip of his palm, her right palm quickly bulged up and formed a sphere.

The bulging skin turned greener and greener, and the curvature of the sphere had also became bigger.

Poong…..

An immense quake spread outwards with God Cloud as the epicenter. The invisible quake surged violently onto the three men.

Tssss…..

The three men had been forcibily pushed back a few steps, under their feet were 6 streaks of marks left on the floor.

"Original Heirlooms!!!" King of the Stars had a change in expression, his expression started showing. "Hoho, who would have known that Sir God Cloud would be willing to bring out even an Original Heirloom. Distortion Pearl, hefty, indeed."

"If the clone dies here, the Distortion Pearl would be ours." Veska suddenly said.

"Since he even brought the Original Heirloom, looks like we have to go full out for this, let’s not hide our abilities, use our strongest moves straight away, otherwise the victor may not be us." The Silver Knight Captain Woods said. He was the same as Veska, even though they sounded carefree, but their eyes had a gleam of strictness.

Original Heirlooms…. Avic’s Absolute defense was also an Original Heirloom, these are the strongest heirlooms, even though Obscuro couldn’t win against RAL, but they alone could have comparable power to a single large kingdom. Unexpectedly, he dared bet on that small interval of a pinnacle form 5 expert and take the Distortion Pearl on an attack against Kovitan.

"Can we send a message out to the Department Headquarters chief?" Woods asked.

Veska smiled bitterly. "The formation we arranged ourselves has isolated all communication to the outside, we would need at least an hour to completely disable them."

Woods could only laugh bitterly.

At this time, a quake shook above Blood Jade Palace.

Roar!!!

A loud beast’s cry was heard from above them.

The entire palace vibrated slightly, which brought crumbs of debris tumbling down.

"Looks like there’re people clashing above us." Veska looked up at the ceiling.just as his gaze left God Cloud, he could hear a loud gust immediately.

"Careful!!!"

A voice shouted, by the corner of Vaska's eyes, he could see a black chain was shot towards him. Reflexively, he quickly ducked towards the right.

Pewpewpew!!

Countless chains were shot by God Cloud towards the trio.

A black giant’s silhouette appeared behind him.

*********************

The Eleventh Palace, Surface

Just as the giant white bird took off, a great sonic boom struck it down.

Its wings tilted and carved out an angled crater, and it fiercely smashed into a garden on its right side.

Bam!!

The garden was a mess, a great number of the plants were either knocked down or squashed.

The white bird laid next to a white granite platform, half of its body landed on two gardeners, and pools of blood were seen flowing out from beneath the white bird and onto the black soil.

The sharp scream of the maids was soon heard, and those white-attired maids swarmed towards the cracks to attempt escape, like frightened bee colonies.

Just as Beckstone and his friends were dizzily climbing down from the bird, dense thumps of footsteps were heard from behind him.

Tens of Black Fire Heavy Guards rushed over, their eyes shined with green lights, each of them had green liquid dripping between the crevices of their armor. As the viscous liquid made its way onto the floor, it burned through the floor, into many potholes of different sizes.

The guard in front suddenly opened its mouth wide, and out came that green viscous liquid spewing out violently, like a tide which rushed towards the trio.

Bam!!

Clang!!

The Nine-Headed Dragon in front of Garen fiercely smashed into the hemispherical moon arc blade.

The red and white light suddenly exploded, countless tiny pieces of shattered Totem lIght scattered everywhere.

Edin let out a moan, the white arc in front of him was shattered. He took a leap backward, onto a roof nearby.

"Stupid barbarian"

Bam!!

The Nine-Headed Dragon chased after him, violently crashing into the location of which he stood into smithereens. The chandelier in the corridor under the roof broke loose and fell to the ground due to the intense impact.

Clang!!

Amidst the crisp sound of broken crystal, Edin turned swiftly and avoided Nine-Headed Dragon’s attack and landed safely on the roof on his right.

The bloodied mark on Garen’s forehead got thicker. A strong, murderous intent was barraging within his heart. His eyes were slowly turning blood red as well, the horrifying Dragon’s eyes gave him an almost inhumane terror.

With a wave of his arms, the dragon heads move to the right.

Kroonggg….

The nine dragon heads were like 9 pillars tearing everything in its path towards the roof, banking right as it chased Edin.

Innumerable houses were torn down by the dragons, and more the chandeliers in the corridors beneath fell one after the other.

Pang! Pang! Pang!

The shattering of the chandeliers kept continuing, to the point of becoming deafening. The millions of crystal shards were scattered in all directions like snowflakes. The entire corridor was enveloped in a thick layer of white crystal shards.

The Nine-Headed Dragons could not keep up with Edin in the end, and the bloodied eyes of Garen only got thicker.

suddenly, his foot forcefully stomped the ground

Bam!!

Garen disappeared in an instant, the ground beneath him turned into a crater several meters wide.

Edin laughed coldly

"I was waiting for this technique"

He waved his right arm and a few roses made up a few white lines were fixed in midair.

Jii!

The white rose instantaneously exploded and became countless petals of flowers.

Garen’s afterimage had been running through the petals, but were discovered by Edin

A cold light flashed through Edin’s eyes.

"Florid Sword." A white rose appeared in his hand, as he sniffed it gently, Edin actually closed his eyes fully, without a care of the possible ambush by Garen.

Tssss!

A ray of white light shot out.

The Nine-Headed Dragon’s silhouette which encircled Garen flew up and fluttered, his left hand conjured a seemingly unstoppable gust, forming a slab of red afterimage and clashing with the white ray head-on in an instant.

The red shadow and white ray met each other halfway.

The red shadow was effortlessly slashed through. The white rose instantaneously passed through the space between Garen’s fingers and stabbed his forehead

Suddenly he could see the clear white petals of the rose, the white, without any hint of impurity, white circles of pure petals that seemed to be stacked together. There was even a dewdrop on it.

At such unfathomable speeds, yet ever so calming.

Garen couldn’t care less, his right hand struck out with speed, the auras of a long unused power had begun bubbling.

A surge of a violent, horrid aura exploded from his body.

"Ten Thousand Mammoths, Red Jade!!" his right palm brought out a clarity comparable to a red jade, his palm was rubbing the air on top of it, and ignited in an instant!

A pure, high-temperature flame ignited just by the friction in the air!

The flaming right palm was like a ferocious dragon, surrounded by nine dragon heads, and after the first attack, it hit Edin’s Round-ringed sword.

.

Boom!!!

A red fire cloud broke out directly between the two, forming a silver ring.
