Chapter 2712 All Up To You
Her words were proven correct as not a single Terran Sage was able to hold their own against their respective opponents.
"Tsk, weak maggots." Sage Damian spat.
The five Martial Sages before him were unconscious.
His own body was covered with mere wounds and bruises.
He had hoped they would be able to do more.
And yet, of all the battles that the Kandrian Empire experienced, the most underwhelming experienced had been Sage Sayfeel, who was the vanguard of the assault force.
Sage Sayfeel impassively gazed at the two cowering figures of Consul Notera and Consul Sergenilius.
They may have hated each other, yet they didn't deny that the Citadel was the safest place in the Nest of Terra, and they didn't refuse its refuge just to avoid being with each other. The Martial Sage simply gazed at them with cold disdain.
He didn't hide the murderous bloodlust.
"I owe His Highness everything."
This was the truth.
Words could not even begin to describe the feeling of gratitude he had towards the prince. Without his extraordinary achievements, the Emperor of Harmony would have never woken up ever again.
Without the Dawnbringer, he would have lost the purpose that drove him down his Martial Path.
His gratitude was beyond words, as was the hatred that he felt for those who attacked the Dawnbringer for their own greed and desire for power.
"His Majesty ordered me to execute you but..." a whisper escaped him, "...he didn't say how. Nor did he specify the duration or the manner in which I thought to execute you."
His eyes blazed with cold wrath and hatred.
"I will inflict upon the two of you the most horrifying death that this world has ever seen."
Pure horror and despair emerged in the eyes of Consul Notera and Consul Sergenilius.
"Hah! I knew it!"
"But..." the Emperor continued. "The message I sent was not to the Nest of Terra, but instead to another Sage-level powerhouse that has been silently watching how I would react to what the Nest of Terra did, or tried to do, to my son."
"...The Virodhabhasa Theocracy."
Once more, the Beggar Sage had hit the nail on the head.
"As I'm sure you know, the political landscape of the theocratic Martialocracy has been concerning," Emperor Rael remarked. "Hehehe, interesting, isn't it?" the Beggar Sage cackled. "The Virodhabhasans believe that the Apocalypse is upon them. They believe that the Beast Incursion is indeed the very Apocalypse that the Transcendent Prophet foretold centuries ago. They believe that the Era of Darkness is the prophecy coming true. They believe that only their 'Lord Virodhabhasa' can save them from this apocalypse."
Emperor Rael heaved a sigh. "The overwhelmingly powerful Fundamentalist Faction believes that they should focus on finding the Antithesis, as opposed to supporting my strategy. They believe that this is the prophesized apocalypse, and thus, human intervention of any kind is obsolete. They are dedicating all their energy to finding the Virodhabhasa and praying that the Antithesis will fix all their problems and save them from destruction."
The frustration in his voice was not missed.
Nor was the concern.
"Of all the nations that my son will be visiting, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Virodhabhasa Theocracy might prove to be the most dangerous."
"So that's why you were so aggressive against the Nest of Terra after all," the Beggar Sage remarked. "You want to deter the religious crazies with a fearsome punishment to the Nest of Terra, and simultaneously, the problem of the Virodhabhas Theocracy can only be solved by your son."
The Emperor of Harmony closed his eyes.
"It's the only option I have at my disposal."
His eyes softened as he thought about his son.
What he had achieved in the past two years had truly made him proud.
"My son..." A whisper escaped him. "It's all up to you now. The fate of this continent rests on your shoulders."
On the other side of the continent, two Martial Masters descended upon a mountain peak, gazing down at the vast expanse of a massive nation.
A massive Sage-level powerhouse.
Rui narrowed his eyes.
"We have arrived."
