Chapter 80 - A Worse Consequence
In the center of the crowd, Bogula’s three beauties were still “lecturing” Sliv, while the other people watched the play happily. Song of the Deep tried to intervene, but the onlookers stopped them.
They were still frustrated at Sliv for trapping them in his waterfalls. They would not let Sliv go so easily.
Considering the man’s self-ego, they expected Sliv to hide from public eyes for several years after this incident.
“The Path of Infinity is almost complete,” Danae suddenly spoke out loud.
Everyone checked. The vortex inside the fusion spot was now almost as big as the blackness area. Like Danae said, the path would become stable very soon, and the “Time of Plunder” they were expecting drew near.
They prepared. Even Bogula called his three beauty puppets back. Sliv could finally relax. He was blushing all over his face and only wished to leave right away. However, when he thought about the rich resources, he swallowed his embarrassment down his throat.
He would regret his decision soon.
Her abrupt question surprised Sliv. Why would they keep asking him about the waterfalls? Could Sunders have something to do with this?
“What do you mean? I didn’t do nothing,” Sliv refused to spill.
Lady Danae was not convinced and she asked, “Oh yeah? Then tell me this, where did Sunders and Flora go?”
“How should I know??”
“You don’t know? Then why did Sunders disappear? Don’t you see the origin energy is flowing to Flora’s spell?!”
That surprised Sliv again.
People began to sense the origin energy. Yes, all energy was rushing to one spot.
If observed using wizardry sight, people would see a strange gap in the space at an inconspicuous spot drawing origin energy like crazy.
With the situation revealed and everyone was demanding an answer, Sliv finally spoke the truth. Part of it.
He omitted everything about Crow. He only said he was using a special trick to force Sunders into handing over the Fragments of Eternity. He failed, and Sunders left by teleportation.
There were many problems with his explanation with the biggest one being Sliv’s strength. Sliv was someone way weaker than Sunders, so how did he actually force Sunders to escape?
They did not buy it. However, Sliv insisted.
No matter what really happened, people were more interested in the fact that Sunders opened a strange rupture and escaped through it. The rupture caused the origin power to leave, and the ultimate reason why all of these things happened, was Sliv, who plotted to seize the fragments to satisfy his own greed.
People gazed at him in anger. Even the wizards from Song of the Deep kept their distance. Sliv did not know if his situation could get worse now.
It did.
The strange rupture was drawing origin energy quickly. It took a long time and when the process finished and the rupture disappeared, the plane fusion failed.
A plane fusion was a double-edged sword for the wizarding world. The world’s consciousness used lots of origin power. Even if the fusion was successful, the power was still lost. The world’s consciousness acted like a scale. It absolutely would not allow its own world to suffer any loss. The scale should at least be balanced. This time, the consciousness decided to stop the fusion to maintain balance. Thus, the entrance to the other plane was cast away into the void, never to be found again…
