The Empyreal Gem Master

"What is this?!"

The voice of Ephesus roared out even though all those here knew what they were seeing- they all sensed the eruption of the particles of Destiny when this illusory scene bloomed.

A scene of Ephesus facing the impact of a scorching black sun as thereafter, everything began to collapse as this entire realm and everyone within it who couldn't possibly withstand such a Cataclysmic change and survive in the void of space…would perish

Alexander looked at this as his gaze was cold.

"I have foreseen this unfavorable possible Destiny."

…!

A possible future!

The gazes of Ephesus and other Wills became even more complex as they were shocked to hear this.

The future.

Even with the Covenant of Destiny, grasping such precise possibilities of the future was unheard of.

But they couldn't even appreciate this wonder.

In the face of a future where Ephesus was getting eradicated, they had to focus on this as the Will of the past Dragoisles asked.

"When?"

"Within the next hour. The power that does this…is not something that a Void Ruler can release!"

Alexander answered succinctly as at this moment, with 12 assimilated Covenants of Nature under his banner, he could gauge pretty well the level of strength that an Entity with a single assimilated Covenant or a few held compared to him.

And the current him…could not demolish an entire Star Realm with a single attack as this had to be a power of someone far above.

"We are likely looking at the appearance of someone above the level of a Void Ruler- a Stellar Ruler who had forged their very own Star!"

WAA!

His words were heavy as particles of destiny moved under his command, the illusory screen being played out again as all they saw was the black sun and nothing else.

But this alone was enough to cause all of them to turn immensely silent.

The Will of Ephesus looked towards Alexander.

The Ambassador they had appointed to protect Ephesus as so far, he was doing his job.

If that future came to pass, he would have failed at his job.

But what his job required of him at this moment was far too heavy a weight to bear.

So the Will of Ephesus only thought briefly before looking at Alexander and making a choice.

"What…do you need to thoroughly prevent this? We can even tap into the reserves of Pure Natal Authority of Ephesus to accelerate your rate of Assimilation of Covenants if need be."

…!

Even Ephesus was ready to break its own rules.

After all, survival was better than death!

Alexander had a thoughtful expression as he thought about many things, his eyes lighting up towards the end as he turned towards the Will of Ephesus and spoke out.

"The very core of the Star Realm. What holds everything regarding Ephesus together…let me see it."

…!

The core of a Star Realm.

If he could see it. If he could see how it came together and pulled Covenants into it.

Maybe…

Did the Dark Ruler Masako not state that to become a Stellar Ruler, it involved the fusion of Covenants into one's Gem Sockets?

At this moment, a daring plan formed in his mind as he looked towards the Wills of the World for an answer!
Your journey continues at empire

Quite a distance away.

On the Sacred Gold Mountain.

Alexander's main body floated up and neared the relaxed figure of Dark Ruler Masako as he voiced out somberly with a voice filled with authority.

[A Stellar Ruler is on his way here. The Covenant of Destiny tells me he plans to do more than pass by.]

…!

His words caused confusion and alarm in the eyes of Masako who rose up seriously, but before she could even ask, he waved his hands to display the scene of Ephesus being smashed with a scorching black sun!

She saw this as her pupils widened, her gaze becoming fierce in the next moment as if she had turned into someone else entirely!

[Those from the lands of the Dark Rule are not here yet…do not worry, I won't let any harm come to your Realm. Stellar Rulers are not supposed to make a move against an occupied Star Realm of any faction, so this occurring…hmph. Do not worry. Even if I have to reveal my identity or threaten the eruption of war, I will put a stop to this. Let's go!]

She shot out into the skies as she sought the Void of Space above.

Alexander looked behind at the worried looks from Claire and his father, but he gave a reassuring smile as he spoke to them.

"Focus on meditating for now. Feel the Energiea coursing through your bodies. Claire…focus on the Covenant of Gold. You all should be able to make rapid advancements from here on out."

He rose to the skies as he voiced out, wanting to see if multiple Land Rulers would arise from those who followed him grasping a Covenant of Nature, or if Claire could quickly become a Sky Ruler!

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

In his place, an Enneagram Clone appeared and followed Masako towards the Void of Space.

And many miles away from the Sacred Gold Mountain, where an Enneagram Clone used to be surrounded by two other Clones, Alexander's main body appeared.

He looked at his other selves as he voiced out.

"Enter the Temporal Enneagram Space."

WU!

Above him, dazzling purple gold lines began to be drawn as they formed into an ancient nine pointed circle- one that pulsed with a heavy light of time as tendrils of purple light erupted from it and wrapped around his bodies before pulling them in entirely!

Something big was happening in the next hour.

He had to obtain as much time as he could to prepare!
