Well, well!
So this tavern is actually one of the intelligence outposts for our own organization.
Members of the Hat organization are scattered everywhere, and of course, I can't know all of them.
Walter gave the tavern owner a meaningful glance, said nothing more, and stood up to leave the tavern.
"Lord, please take care," the tavern owner said respectfully, watching Walter leave while wiping the cold sweat from his brow.
In fact, he didn't know Walter personally, but he had just received an urgent communication from his superior, informing him that the man in front of him was a high-ranking figure in the organization, and that he must do everything he could to please him.
As he watched Walter's departing figure, the tavern owner silently made a note of this.
At that moment, another shout came from the other end of the tavern.
"Boss, check please!"
"Forty Dalton coins."
"What?! The price has doubled?! Wasn't it twenty Dalton coins for a dozen before?!"
"The prices fluctuate with the market. What, do you want a free drink?"
"..."
Meanwhile, in the Theodore universe.
A group of powerful beings, surrounded by radiant holy light or obscure arcane energies, was swiftly moving towards a specific direction.
At the head of the group was Celestine, the Lord of the Sanctum of Light!
Celestine's expression was dark, his murderous intent almost palpable.
At that moment, a virtual barrier composed of shattered laws and chaotic energy appeared before them, blocking their path.
Ahead of them lay the so-called domain corridor, a forbidden area.
Passing through this corridor would allow them to reach the lower-level universes. However, it was also filled with the most uncontrollable forces of the Theodore universe's spatial laws.
"Lord, ahead is the domain corridor. The rules are chaotic. Should we reconsider?" one of the temple priests approached, speaking with hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Celestine's face grew even darker.
"After my bloodline descendant was killed, do you want me to let the murderer roam freely in that lower plane?!"
"They are nothing but ants! With a single strike, I could make them die a thousand times over!"
Without hesitation, Celestine took out a glowing stream of energy radiating soft light.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding temple warriors were shocked.
Source of Holy Light!
This was the very foundation of the Sanctum of Light, the supreme energy passed down through generations!
Although it was just a small fragment, its value was immeasurable!
For the sake of avenging his granddaughter, the Lord had actually used this rare treasure!
"Go purify all the filth!" Celestine hissed, sending the Source of Holy Light toward the chaotic domain corridor.
Buzz—!
In an instant, the edges of the domain corridor began to tremble violently.
The next moment, an unstable energy portal appeared before Celestine.
"What?! A single fragment of the Source of Holy Light can only open such a narrow portal?!" Celestine looked at the portal before him, which seemed on the verge of collapse, with a dreadful expression.
Such a high price for such a small result?!
But his mind was clouded with the fury of revenge, and he turned to his subordinates, speaking sternly.
"You stay here, I'll be back soon!"
With that, Celestine vanished into the fragile portal.
As soon as he entered, the portal behind him began to vibrate violently, almost closing instantaneously.
Meanwhile, deep within the endless chaos and darkness of the domain corridor, a pair of eyes, seemingly constructed from starborn energy, suddenly opened wide!
Boom!
Soon, Celestine, with his immense power and the protection of the Source of Holy Light, struggled through the temporal and spatial turbulence.
How long had passed, he couldn't say, but finally, he reached the endpoint he had sensed.
"Ahhh! Damn it!"
"Why can't I truly descend into that plane?!"
Celestine looked at the invisible barrier in front of him that rejected all higher beings, his face twisted with frustration.
Although he had expected this, a sliver of hope still lingered in his heart.
Now, the powerful planar rejection force held him back, and he couldn't advance an inch further.
He forced himself to calm down.
"Though killing you directly would be too easy for you..." Celestine gritted his teeth, his voice dripping with venom.
He couldn't let the murderer continue to live freely.
So, although it was a shame, it was time for you to die!
Though he couldn't directly descend, his power could still penetrate this barrier!
With his strength, wiping out an ant from a lower plane was but a flick of his finger.
Celestine closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing the faint trace of the avenging mark left behind when his bloodline descendant fell.
Moments later, his eyes shot open.
The holy light pierced through the layers of planar barriers, locking onto a coordinate in the endless void below!
A blast strong enough to obliterate time and space instantly shot out from Celestine's hand, carrying with it the boundless will of purification, aimed at its target!
Boom!
The energy of the domain corridor surged again, violently fluctuating.
The terrifying force, disregarding most spatial distances, rushed toward the Sakend plane!
On this day.
An unprecedented terrifying energy beam arrived from beyond the universe, tearing through the tranquil skies of countless starfields. Its light instantly illuminated the vast starry sky!
Countless ancient beings, who had been dormant for countless eons, hidden deep within various starfields, were awakened by this terrifying force.
Powerful minds reached out into the stars, their faces filled with fear and solemnity.
"What is this power? I can't feel a thing!"
"This... Could it be coming from beyond the plane?! Just sensing it fills me with despair!"
In an instant, numerous starfields trembled.
Many powerful astrologers and seers tried to deduce the origin and purpose of this power.
Yet all attempts sank into the void, blocked by higher-level laws.
In the center of the starfield.
In a magnificent palace floating within a nebula.
A woman with an otherworldly aura suddenly awoke from her meditation.
She looked up at the stars, and as soon as she sensed the destructive force, her brows furrowed.
"This... is this the power from the origin of the Theodore plane?!"
She couldn't understand why such a powerful being from a higher plane would suddenly attack the lower realms.
However, when she saw the direction of the power's target, her face went pale!
"Oh no! It's Alpha Starfield!"
Boom!
The next moment.
A terrifying aura, no less fearsome than the destructive light beam itself, erupted from within the woman's body.
She instantly tore through space, moving at a speed beyond reason, racing toward Alpha Starfield!
Alpha Starfield.
In recent times, Alpha Starfield had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The most important of these was the emergence of a force called New Dalton, which swept through the entire starfield with unmatched might!
Even the long-hidden old power, the Clawclash Empire, was completely destroyed under the joint efforts of New Dalton and Mount Divinus!
From that moment, New Dalton became the undisputed new ruler of Alpha Starfield.
But at that very moment, within New Dalton Town.
Everyone was startled by the terrifying energy wave from the sky, sending shivers down their spines.
They all stopped what they were doing and looked up.
"Quick, look! What is that? A meteor?"
"Hiss... No, this energy fluctuation... I can't even sense it!"
"By the gods! It... It looks like it's coming towards us!!"
