The Empyreal Gem Master

Adasan.

His name was a grand one, and his figure was even more so. His legends were bright in the Neidgard Empire as he was a being bred to be a powerful warrior!

Being forced to leave the Neidgard Empire after offending a single Marshall of the Empire, he came to this backwater place with 2 others.

And at this moment, he sensed the life force of Asviena dwindle!

He was currently inside a Secret Realm.

A small pocket realm within the Brightstar Cluster, where the majority of the forces of the Star Alliance were located.

The Secret Realm was something that only he, Asviena, and Juan knew about, and it was this location where they had to meet whenever emergencies occurred.

Normally, they could simply communicate through long distance communication tools, but whenever they wanted to reminisce their lives within the Neidgard Empire or simply to blow off steam talking about the backwater domain if they were currently in that was unfathomably empty with only Stellar Rulers and a few Nebulae Rulers populating it.

In this place, there was an expanse of grassland filled with a single rising Sacred Mountain that released the calm allure of life.

The figure of Adasan was covered in a black Stellar robe that made him look like an ancient warrior whose broad figure could not be easily discerned.

His dark hair and eyes were luminous as he did not have to wait long before in the next moment, space distorted as the figure of a Ruler with a vibrant Black Hole on his chest appeared.

Juan!

His face was unsightly, and his eyes were livid. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

He and Asviena were lovers at one point- on and off over the years as even with the long lifespan of a Ruler, he developed unbreakable attachments.

To find out of her death just like this caused him great pain and sorrow as he roared out the moment that he arrived.

"Who did this!? How could this have occurred?!"

His voice was akin to hammering bellows as he sought answers that Adasan did not have.

Adasan could only look at him coldly before he began to speak in a somber tone.

"There are too many unknown possibilities as it could be someone from the Neidgard Empire or someone entirely unrelated to us. But if she has died, it has become increasingly dangerous to remain here unless we can figure out exactly who did this."

His voice was one of calm and calculation as he measured and thought of ways to act after such a catastrophe.

And yet Juan…

"I don't care who it is, I will rip them to pieces! If you and I work together with your level of power…anyone who killed Asviena would not be able to survive against you!"

Juan had a singular Black Hole rotating around his body, while Adasan had one massive black hole and two tiny smaller ones that could barely be observed by others unless Adasan himself wanted them to.

He had already begun enacting and elevating multiple black holes within his Gem Socket, as his power was many levels above Asviena and Juan.

And yet, Adasan only looked coldly while gazing at Juan.

"The enemy is unknown. We cannot simply declare that we can kill them with confidence unless we know more, and I am not entirely inclined to find out more about them."

…!

His words caused Juan to pale in anger as he was about to erupt again.

But before he could do so…

HUUM!

The space they were in vibrated as the green grasslands of this secret realm became covered by a terrifying power of gravitation.

The space around them seemed to become distorted and squeezed in as if this whole place had become isolated with a terrifying veil of the Covenant of Space supported by an unknown power covering absolutely everything!

As this occurred, the figure of a young man stepped out from above, his eyes showing surprise and incredulity as he shook his head in wonder.

"Light speed is utterly ridiculous…"

…!

Yes.

Light speed!

The figure of Alexander's Clone uttered such words as he used the memories of Asviena to arrive in the Secret Realm that only she and two others knew.

The only reason Alexander had such a shocking level of speed was due to none other than the Gem Constellation that used to be the Covenant Stanchion of Light.

It currently had a much different name and form as behind him, radiant crimson gold Wings that seemed to be filled with an incandescent stellar brilliance flashed.

As if they were made of stars.

And their description was a simple one.

||The Gem Constellation- Covenant Stanchion of Light, has been elevated by the Neutron Star Nebulae and transformed to become the Covenant Neutron Wings of Light.||

||The speed of your movements and attacks has been reinforced and augmented by the Covenant Neutron Wings of Light, increasing your speed to become the same as the speed of light.||

||Under the Nature Defiance inherent ability, Greater Vacuum Adaptation has been transformed into Singularity Adaptation. You are freely capable of surviving in the most adverse and chaotic regions of space.||

||Through the Gem Constellation, Covenant Neutron Wings of Light, it is possible to obtain any other Covenants related to Light or Space once a sufficient amount of Ascendant Energiea has been utilized to nurture it.||

Yes.

This was just the previous Gem Constellation of the Covenant Stanchion of Light, as the other two had their transformations.

But it granted him light speed and made it possible for him to appear in the Secret Realm where Asviena commonly met with Adasan and Juan- these two having come here after the death of Asviena as it made things very straightforward!

He looked at them.

"Hello."

And he greeted them as they looked towards him with incredulity and somberness!

"You?!"

Adasan had lost his composure, while Juan kept his livid expression as he realized a few things.

"Was it you who killed Asviena?!"

He roared out as his Black Hole spun.

And Alexander looked towards him while nodding calmly as a matter of fact, his reply being utterly cold.

"Yes. And I came here to wrap things up…for the sake of peace."

WAA!
