Chapter 1200  A Scheme of Ascendance

Books floated around the seer like a solar system, answering his hunger for knowledge like an imminent echo of a valley. Characters jumped to life as if that was their purpose all along, to serve the seer and fuel his wisdom. "How can we fight such a thing?" asked Arthur, his mind preoccupied with the looming threat of a seer who could not only see through the world, but reshape the past itself. It seemed almost impossible. "There is a reason that the power balance exists in the world," said Sier as he turned toward Arthur, his violet eyes squinting at him. "No one can defeat the empyreans backing every nation." "What about Osian the Invincible?" asked Arthur with a smile that seemed to trigger the seer's frown. The fact that Arthur himself defeated an empyrean known as invincible disagreed with Sier's argument. "The outsider was always meant to break the fragile balance of power," said Sier with a smirk of his own. "That's the reason everyone flocks around you like flies, wis.h.i.+ng to obtain some of that power and wealth."

"I could say the same about the members of Mistletoe, right?" "Ascent is nothing but a gathering of rebels."

"Better than thieves."

Imaginary gunshot sounds echoed in the room as bullets were fired, shaped like words that cut deeper than any weapon. However, the two did not seem hostile, but rather held smiles that mirrored each other. "You started as another member of Mistletoe, but now you have your own people," said Sier with a grin. "Speaking of Ilios, that reminds me of the ambush they have set for us. During the Runes Apprentices Cup, you vowed to take revenge. And you did, although not as a member of mistletoe."

"You should have been the one to save Ivy, Sier."

"Why would I, when I already know that she would choose your side once she learns about our argument?" asked Sier with a sliver of loneliness, making Arthur pause. Did he take too many things from the seer? "We have a common enemy now," said Arthur with a frown. "I know that you desire revenge against the Yalen King, and I wish to save Emma and Oriole. But I doubt that I can save them without a fight."

"As long as I stood against my father, we were destined to fight together," said Sier as he gazed out of the window. "I agree to this temporary alliance, but don't stand in my path later. Yalen is mine."

"I couldn't care less who runs things here," said Arthur with a frown. "Tell me where Emma and Oriole are."

"Oriole is in Giant Garden, and Emma Agard has disappeared from this world."

"What do you mean?" "Giant Garden is a valley that suffered a mana explosion, resulting in unnatural growth of living beings."

"I can…" "Lies are useless in my presence, Zas. Fear should not be a source of shame, but relief that you are smart enough to survive. That's the very purpose of fear, to survive."

As he imparted the impatient teleporter with his wisdom, Sier looked out of the window again, this time to study the moonlight. A thin smile hung on his face before he turned toward his loyal followers. "Arthur has arrived to Yalen, as we have antic.i.p.ated. The Seven Families have been awaiting his arrival to Yalen to start the next step of their plans."

"And the start of ours," said William with a smile as he knelt down. "After we achieve our true purpose amidst the chaos and their fight, you will become an actual G.o.d."

"Whether that is possible or not… is hard to decide. But if I want to obtain a power without any strings attached, a power to call my own, I must use the G.o.d Summoning to enter Devaheim."

"If we are allies with that p.r.i.c.k, shouldn't we warn him?" asked Zas after recomposing himself. "It would be more beneficial for us if he puts up a fight against the summoned G.o.d. If he dies with a single slap, the G.o.d will return and the Gate to Devaheim will close."

"Arthur is not going to lose."

"You mean he can defeat a G.o.d?" "I don't know what kind of G.o.d is going to be summoned, but can you imagine Arthur losing?" asked Sier with a smile. "I cannot do that. He has been the center of our world ever since he awakened."

Zas listened to his words with thoughts of his own, lowering his head to the ground. After a moment, he voiced out a question as he looked at Sier through scattered hair strands. "Do you regret not killing him when he first awakened?" "I don't know if I even could at that time. Master Ronin was obsessed with Arthur and the dreams he kept seeing, and would have sacrificed his life just to save the outsider."

"I didn't ask if you could. Would you kill him if time rewinds?"

"…I would have," said Sier with a grin. "The outsider is too unpredictable. I cannot see a future that contains him, so I feel nauseous every time I look at his face. He does not belong to our world."

Zas looked at Sier in silence before kneeling. The seer glanced at him before turning to William, commanding him what he promised Arthur. "Look for Emma Agard and her family. She could prove herself to be a useful card in the upcoming fight, especially as the strongest seer in the world."
