Hero of Darkness-Chapter 944 Too Many Plot Twists
As the Celestial Guardian, a powerful Demi-God with a sense of duty and neutrality, discovered Kahn's true identity as the Hero of Darkness, he found himself perplexed by the series of unusual connections and circumstances surrounding the young Hero.
[Seriously, what the hell is going on here? Why is a chosen Hero masquerading as part of another Hero's Party?] he thought to himself.
Despite his sense of superiority and his knowledge of Kahn's true nature, the Celestial Guardian decided to keep the secret to himself, honoring his duty to remain neutral and not interfere in the grand scheme of things.
As his observations extended to the other members of the party, he couldn't help but raise more questions.
[Why is the former Dragon Emperor tied to this child through a Contract of Familiarity?] he pondered with confusion as he looked at Vildred who hid in the True Dimension.
The mysterious connection between Vildred and Kahn intrigued him, and he wondered about the implications of such a bond between two significant figures.
Next, his gaze landed on Romulus who stood behind Kaali.
[And why is this Fenrirborne here again? Wasn't he part of the 8th Hero of Darkness' party 300 years ago?]
The Celestial Guardian could almost see through everything that happened in Hesperides if he willed so. He had the recollection of all of those who previously attained the Conclave and was familiar with everyone's aura and soul signature.
The presence of Romulus, a figure with a history tied to the Hero of Darkness' party from centuries ago, added another layer of complexity to the situation.
His investigation didn't stop there; the Celestial Guardian delved further into Kahn's soul, uncovering yet another intriguing link.
[What is Rathnaar Whitlock, the former Peak Saint of Vantrea, doing here?
Didn't he fail to become a Demi-God and die?
Why is his half-soul tied to the new Hero of Darkness via a Soul-Oath?] he kept wondering, completely taken aback by this revelation.
The discovery of Rathnaar Whitlock's connection to Kahn through a Soul-Oath raised even more questions about the interwoven destinies of these individuals.
As the Celestial Guardian observed the unfolding events at the Conclave of Heroes, he couldn't help but be struck by the unprecedented and bizarre combination of circumstances.
[A Hero hiding in another Hero's Party.
A former member of the Hero of Darkness' party reappearing with a different empire's entourage.
A Royal Dragon is present at the Conclave for the first time in history.
And the soul of a Peak Saint who was unaffiliated with any Gods and Empires.] spoke the Deity to himself, contemplating the plot twists.
The convergence of these unique individuals at the same time and place was nothing short of extraordinary, defying conventional expectations and adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the proceedings.
[This is the most bizarre combination I have ever seen. I really shouldn't have accepted this job.
If only I could leave this place whenever I wanted and chat with other Deities.
There's too much happening in the outside world and I'm stuck with this watchman's job.
I should contact others, only then I would be brought up to speed.] thought the Demi-God as he contemplated his Life-Choices.
The Celestial Guardian found himself longing for the opportunity to discuss these unfolding events with other divine beings, hoping to gain insight into the deeper meanings behind this seemingly unusual gathering of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
"Dammit! I should have brought the Divine Popcorns. This time, things are getting way too interesting.
I'm dying to read the next chapter!"
Despite his duty to remain neutral, the Celestial Guardian couldn't help but be entertained by the unexpected turn of events.
The unique combination of characters and their unexpected presence at this Conclave of Heroes had piqued his curiosity, making the unfolding drama more fascinating than he initially anticipated.
"At this stage… just make someone regress back in time, and we will have a masterpiece!"
----------------
"Urgh!!"
Amidst another Hero's Party, a slim figure wrapped in a cloak expressed his discomfort, groaning in response to an unknown presence he suddenly felt.
"Are you okay?" asked a 6th-stage saint.
The 6th-stage saint, whose two white wings were concealed beneath his white and golden cloak, approached the figure, displaying a compassionate demeanor while having eyes full of genuine concern.
"For some reason, I feel like a very repulsive existence that feels threatening to me is present here. This is the first time I've felt like this ever since I was summoned nine years ago." spoke this person with a feeling of unease.
He was a 5th-stage saint but even he felt sick for some reason.
The perplexing sensation puzzled the 5th-stage saint, leaving him uneasy and on edge.
However, the 6th-stage saint offered a possible explanation.
"Maybe it could be the pressure from the Celestial Guardian. He is a Demi-God after all.
Just bear with it. We have more important tasks to achieve."
Understanding the significance of their mission and the role of the Celestial Guardian, the 6th-stage saint encouraged the 5th-stage saint to endure the discomfort and focus on the task at hand.
"And for both of them, we need you to be in your perfect health and full power. So, focus your attention on the task at hand." he emphasized on the importance of their mission.
Aware of the vital role the 5th-stage saint played in their endeavors, the party member stressed the importance of maintaining perfect health and power to accomplish their objectives successfully.
Meanwhile… At the same time, Kahn suddenly feels an innate connection with someone standing among another Hero's Party in Green and White cloaks.
[What are you doing here? And why is she here as well?] he asked that entity.
A voice whispered in his mind and replied…
[I will tell you everything if we meet inside.]
this person.
This Hero's Party was a group of 11 people, donning resplendent golden cloaks [Alright. Keep your character and aid him to your best ability.
We cannot risk another empire knowing your identities. All of your work there would go in vain if the truth is exposed.
So follow the orders. We all shall meet again if we're lucky.] replied Kahn as if he knew this person.
This Hero's Party was a group of 11 people, donning resplendent golden cloaks adorned with intricate patterns, stood together in the presence of the gathering.
After Kahn relayed his words, most of them nodded in agreement and understanding, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.
As the stage settled and the momentous occasion reached its pinnacle, the Celestial Guardian, embodying his divine presence, spoke with a voice that resonated with majesty and grandeur.
"All right then... I shall open the gates." he declared.
Clank!
Clank!
Soon, one after another, other than the ones made for Hero of Darkness and Hero of fire, the 11 towers lit up and the gates to those massive towers, reserved for each Hero's Party and their respective empire, had finally opened.
The anticipation in the air was palpable as everyone present held their breath in anticipation of what would come next.
"To the Heroes and Heroines summoned in this generation, I welcome you to the Domain of the Gods..."
His words echoed throughout the Conclave of Heroes, and a hush fell over the assembled crowd as they listened intently.
"Babylon."
