Heaven, Earth, Me 5 (GL)

Chapter 912. Kyril's Fears. Space and Star Beasts.

Yasenia quickly gathered a relatively small but elite army and used her flying ship to go to Astral Dragon City. Yasenia's group was seen leaving the sect, and not long after, a message was sent from a corner of the mountainous range surrounding the Astral Sky Sect to a faraway palace.

The palace was the main structure the Demons built for their sect, and in the topmost gathering room, many leaders from several powers allied with the Continental Shadows were gathered.

"She has taken the bait?"

Dyrathos spun a talisman around his fingers and looked at Kyril. "Is this what you were so afraid of?"

Kyril frowned and answered. "What if she knows?"

Dyrathos looked at the message again and asked. "What if she knows? Can she even deal with a Transcendence Realm formation of this level in such a short time? The Divines are not here to bother us after they somehow fell to Yasenia's schemes."

Kyril asked coldly. "And do you think that someone who could capture the people we thought as main rivals as easily as she did won't have any countermeasures against this plan?"

Dyrathos sighed. "Then, what? Do I not take this opportunity? Kyril, during the last year, I've realized, okay? Yasenia is not an easy opponent at all. However, what can we do if we are always scared to act by just her mere presence?"

This time, Kyril opened her mouth and couldn't really say much. "But reckless actions are not what we should do."

Dyrathos asked, frustrated. "And what are reckless actions!? Her knowing about this plan is also not consequential! What can she do when we lock her in that city with the rest of the high-level people while we clean up the rest of her allies?"

Dyrathos remarked, "We've planned something, that something worked, and now we have the ability to proceed with that something, but you are scared! If you are so much against following through, why accept the plan in the first place? Why don't you go and surrender to Yasenia?"

Kyril looked at Dyrathos's angered face and didn't speak. She knew that Yasenia was in her head. She had suffered so many losses at her hands that she had started becoming paranoid. 'I don't really want to admit it, but the thought of surrender did cross my mind when I heard about the Silent Fang Sect's annihilation.'

Dyrathos saw Kyril stay silent, so he ignored her and said. "We'll proceed. Tell our army that it's time to...'

Kyril looked at Dyrathos and asked herself. 'Nothing is wrong. Everything is going to plan. And yet... that makes it so ominous.' Kyril left the room, and nobody stopped her. 'Why did she have to be here? Is she the one who created that thing we've come to search for in the first place?'

The reason they got sent to this remote place was because an incredibly profound energy signal was captured by the sensors situated in Kyril's main world.

Her word was named [Hellura World]; it was around 125 star systems away from here.

To move through space or between worlds, you need a lot of strength. The outside-of-world environment was highly hostile to cultivators, even more so than it was to mortals. Beings that had evolved to adapt to such an environment were called [Star Beasts], but compared to the vastness and emptiness of space, encountering one or a swarm of them was very rare.

Even then, more often than not, if you encountered a Star Beast of the same realm or above, it meant certain death. Star Beasts were hungry for energy because they needed to adapt to the lack of it; they had bodies that constantly absorbed Energy without a need to think about it actively.

So, when these Star Beasts, who were constantly starving for energy, saw a bunch of healthy cultivators filled with energy, they became quite eager to have a taste of that snack. Thanks to the lack of restrictions, their sizes were also large enough to make people despair when the thought of fighting them crossed their minds.
