Chapter 2054: 599 Disasters and Divine Signs
...
Not far off.
At a certain distance, Edmond and Ronan each withdrew their gazes from the depths of the starry sky.
Their expressions varied, but soon they returned to normal.
"Eventually, the day came, she still left..."
Edmondâs voice carried a hint of regret and sorrow.
However, Ronan coldly stared at him:
"Werenât you waiting for this day?"
"Rest assured, now that the teacher is gone, Iâll be watching you."
Edmond smiled faintly:
"It seems you are still harboring resentment over the secret hoard of the Goddess of Magic..."
Ronan snorted coldly:
"The hoard is just one aspect, eventually, Iâll make you cough it up; whatâs more important is Matthew!"
"You should understand what I mean, donât get any crooked ideas about Matthew, or I wonât forgive you!"
After speaking.
He no longer concealed the hostility emanating from his body, and the violent aura of arcane energy surged forth, transforming into torrents that roared towards Edmond.
Yet Edmond remained calm and collected.
He didnât show any movements, yet he held those torrents of arcane energy at bay a few feet away.
He gently patted his slightly trembling mage robe:
"I have no bad intentions towards Matthew."
"I just want to show him another pathâor perhaps, he was already on that path, I might only give him a gentle push, ultimately the choice is up to Matthewâs own will, surely you wouldnât even forbid that?"
"Then youâd be meddling too much, son-in-law of the Su country..."
Upon saying the last sentence.
Edmondâs mouth curled into a faint taunting smile.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became tense and confrontational.
Even the astute Ether felt the confrontation between the two top spellcasters.
A vortex capable of tearing everything apart seemed to have formed between Edmond and Ronan.
But due to the deliberate control of both parties.
The surface of the vortex was as calm as a lake.
The living beings nearby felt an unprecedented fear and pressure.
"I donât care what flowery words you might say, I believe Matthew will make the right choice."
Ronan stared intently into Edmondâs eyes:
"But should you threaten him, donât blame me for breaking the rules left by our teacher first!"
Edmond scoffed:
"Threaten?"
"You really underestimate me."
"When have I ever threatened anyone?"
"Besides, what is right, what is wrong, itâs never something we humble beings can define."
"I care about Matthew more than you do, I will only protect him more."
"Instead, itâs you, with your selfish and narrow-minded views, wanting to hinder Matthewâs growth... but can you really manage that?"
"Surely youâve noticed the branding of the Void Ruler already within him?"
"What were you doing when Yurkus descended?"
Edmondâs continuous rebuttal made Ronan furrow his brows deeply.
He clenched his fists, then slowly released them a few seconds later.
"I will solve the issue of Yurkus."
Ronan calmly warned:
"But if you dare interfere at the last moment of Matthewâs ascension to legendary, after completing the Golden Shipâs mission, I will kill you!"
"You know I can do it!"
With that said.
Ronanâs figure slowly faded from the spot.
Edmondâs face turned stone-like.
A moment later.
A light laugh came from beside him.
Mad Second Hand-Turing, Loa, laughed and said:
"In terms of character, Ronan seems a bit more like Isabelle, always assertive regardless of the occasion."
"By the way, does he really know what heâs saying?"
"He wants to kill you? Thatâs impossible!"
Edmond glanced at him casually:
"Stop fishing for information from me, regarding Ronanâs strength, I can openly tell youâ
If he really goes all out.
He could indeed kill me.
Of course, he could also take down most people, including you..."
Loaâs expression immediately turned somewhat serious:
"Is this guy really that fierce?"
"Ah, I understand now, it has to do with that special secret hidden with the Goddess of Magic, right?"
"She left behind some extremely powerful, yet highly side-effect-laden finishing move?"
Edmond couldnât help but roll his eyes:
"Why donât you just go ask Ronan yourself?"
Loa shook his head somewhat regretfully:
"You know, he never liked me."
"Moreover, I am about to leave soon..."
As he spoke.
A vague golden light separated from Loaâs body.
Watching that light gently fly towards a door of light in the depths of the universe.
Edmond was slightly surprised.
A few seconds later.
He looked at the seemingly subtly changed shell of Loa with a sudden revelation:
"So thatâs it..."
"So your previous life-and-death struggle was all a camouflage?"
After the golden light departed.
The body of "Loa" became softer and more human-like.
He still seemed to possess complete will and memory:
"Not entirely a disguise."
"At least until obtaining the ticket to the Original Universe from the âWorld of Disappeared History,â he and I were indeed in a life-and-death situation, but all that eased greatly after Isabelle resolved to leave."
"He and I reached an agreement."
"He chose to travel with Isabelle to an unknown universe seeking answers."
"And I stayed behind, as their beacon in the Mirror Universe, to illuminate the path of return if necessary."
Edmondâs brows slowly relaxed:
"Then should I call you Loa, or... Turing?"
As everyone knows.
God of Luck, Loa, once devoured Mad Second Hand Turing, who was a Twilight Creature.
