Chapter 1466: Chapter 1423: Battle of the Cornered Beast Chapter 1466: Chapter 1423: Battle of the Cornered Beast “Compensation? What do you have to offer as compensation?”

The shadow of the towering Titan snorted coldly, yet his attitude had ultimately softened from his initially overwhelming presence.

“What about a hundred standard units of source power? Would that convince you to show leniency?”

It was just one sword strike, yet her Mother Nest had almost been cleft in twain. The empress of the Dream Palace asked in a low and submissive tone, her demeanor extremely humble. Despite such an attitude, it failed to stir any compassion in Muria. At this stage, what was suffering in silence but a trifle?

“Agreed!”

After a moment of silence, Muria nodded slightly, accepting the compensation. He knew that even if he drained the Dream Palace dry, he couldn’t gather that much source power.

“Thank you for your magnanimity!”

Subsequently, the Empress, who had come to assist, swiftly handed over an unimaginable amount of source power to a nascent Epic Titan. She then rescued the Dream Palace Empress from the relentless energy storm.

…

In the quiet void, several powerful mental powers surged.

“A hundred standard units of source power, Dream Palace, you really are worth a fortune!”

“Indeed, Candice, you’re so generous, I’d sell myself to you. What do you think, interested?”

“Clear your heads, you lot. How could I possibly cough up such a massive amount of source power?”

“But didn’t you just?”

“That was from the Great Ancestor, my defeated servant of old, who disturbed the most exalted entity within our community.”

“…How’s that possible?”

“How is it not possible? Don’t play dumb; the complex rules upon that entity’s being reveal the caliber of its existence. Don’t tell me you don’t know.”

“…” Silence filled the void, and it took a long time before there was a response.

“So, are we going to shift to another world community?”

“Indeed, a vast world has been unified, which means this part of the world community is no longer suitable for our people to flourish. Time to find the next chaotic community.”

“But my daughter…”

“Dream Palace, forget her, or pretend she never existed. Find a way to bear another yourself. Do not forget the price our race paid to rescue you. Such a price will not be paid for you a second time.”

“I understand.”

“You’d better. But I still must clarify. While the Empress is important to our race, she is far from worthy of being exchanged for a hundred standard units of source power. The Great Ancestor was willing to pay, mainly because he doesn’t want to provoke hostility with such an entity.”

“You can’t be serious. So what if he’s a God King? Even if he can emerge from the world, unite communities, that will be far in the future, and by then we’ll have already migrated to another world community. The chance of encountering him again is virtually nil.”

“Nothing in this void is certain. Just like now, who would have thought that a minor figure, struggling to survive against me, could have become so powerful in such a short amount of time?”

“Alas, Dream Palace, I sympathize with your plight, but just accept reality. You cannot think of revenge. Our race is about to migrate, and you must keep up.”

…

Within the Divine Court, far above a myriad of domains, a spark of divine light flashed in the eyes of the high and mighty God King. A tremendous aura swept through the great hall and was quickly contained, but even so, it caused the gods to prostrate themselves and created minor chaos.

“Hm? What happened? How did your strength increase so much in such a short time?”

Michaelina, sitting beside Muria, asked what all the gods wanted to but dared not.

“I just took a jaunt through the void, and I’ve reaped quite the bounty!” Muria, pleased with his strength enhancement, wore a gentle smile, “I’ve saved a portion for you.”

“Huh?!”

Mikaer was shocked and puzzled as she looked at what Muria had taught her. “Where did you get this from? Is it appropriate for you to give this to me now? Are you not afraid the Great World Will will abandon you?”

Source power! Muria had actually given her so much source power! Was he out of his mind? At such a critical juncture to fleece the world, his very foundation, no less!

“You’re overthinking it. This was gathered from the void, nothing to do with the world.”

Muria rolled his eyes, aware of his companion’s thoughts. But he was not blinded by such shortsighted concerns.

“You can still leave the world and go to the void?” Mikaer looked even more baffled.

“Short distances aren’t a problem. Just now, near the World Barrier, I caught an ill-intentioned fellow. This is the ransom.”

“Alright!”

After Muria briefly described the situation, Mikaer accepted his share with understanding, yet felt a pang of regret, as such an opportunity would not come again.

“External threats have been eliminated, now only internal strife remains.” Recalling his recent interaction with the Insect Race ancestor, Muria couldn’t help but feel exhilarated.

Communication with an entity fully qualified to dialogue with the Shiyu Dominators went smoothly, or rather, the other party was quite amiable, bearing no hostility even though Muria almost destroyed his kin.

As the other party was so accommodating, Muria was naturally agreeable, and a swift agreement was reached between their forces. Muria benefited greatly without any compromise.

“The whole race withdraws from the world community to avoid any conflict with me. Does this mean that in that ancient entity’s eyes, I could extend my rule to the entire world? This excites me.”

A brilliant future beckoned to him. After conversing with the entity in the void, Muria was more motivated than ever, even growing more ambitious. After all, he had a god-tier backer, and it seemed impossible for him to fare poorly.

As a result, the rate of Divine Tree lords’ demise increased, and their average power grew stronger. This bore significant implications. The Epic Alliance, centered around the Mother of All Things, suffered a fundamental blow.

Thus, the option to withdraw emerged in the plans of these beings. Yet, the Titan rulers unwaveringly erased this option for the Divine Tree lords.

And so, the Epics, anchored by the Divine Tree, became trapped beasts, awaiting the butcher’s cleaver wielded by Muria leading the gods, and the Epic Titans arriving to hone their skills.

The final war erupted. The sky shattered, the earth crumbled, all life withered, and everything plunged into destruction. Domains began to collapse into ruin en masse, and Muria had made the necessary preparations in advance.
