Chapter 568: A Grand Show

In the Realm Dreadnaught, Athena stood with an agape expression as she did not even know how to react.

She had made multiple predictions and hypotheses in her mind on exactly what Crixus had up his sleeve.

She had thought about how he could have been a genius operative of the Dark Expanse or someone with a connection to the Infernal Lords.

She had thought of many other possible scenarios, but never something like what she was seeing right now!

In front of her eyes and the eyes of many, a monstrous figure of tens of miles had appeared, trapping the three Celestial Commanders that she had sent to that location herself. She looked at this figure as she asked herself- was this really Crixus?!

Vredral was also standing by the side as he looked at the chaotic battlefield in shock, him being one of the few that were keeping attention on Crixus, and he had observed the events that happened before this huge change came to be!

Thus, he was among the many that were so shocked they could not even speak! Grandmaster Vredral turned to Athena with an ashen face as he asked with panic.

"Athena, what's going on?!"

Athena was the one in charge of the Realm Dreadnaught currently, and she was the one who should have her [Precognition] ability active at all times to foresee events like these. Yet, Vredral's mind moved rapidly as he thought about how the three Star Forging Celestial Commanders had stopped their movements to rapidly go to Crixus's location, this being very similar to the prior time when they evaded the erupting third Authority of the Infernal Lord.

Thus, Vredral's mind was in turmoil as he thought about a terrible possibility while he watched the body of Crixus erupt into a star-sized monstrosity!

The shocked Athena turned towards Vredral at this point, the entire battlefield being placed into a lul because of the appearance of the young form of Terror. Her gaze contained shock and melancholy and she glanced at Vredral and the many surrounding Celestials in the expansive Command Room. Only a few hundred Celestials remained within, two World Rank Celestials apart from Athena staying behind to monitor the changes of the battlefield as well.

The rest were lower ranked Celestials with power less than the World Realm, thus when Athena received her next command from Noah, none of them could have foreseen what happened!

RUMBLE!

The brilliant light of fate glimmered in the command room as numerous golden spears ruptured the body of the two World Rank Celestials first, targeting the lesser Celestials thereafter as blood freely flowed from the unexpected attack within the Command Room.

Vredral was the only one remaining untouched as everyone but him and Athena fell to the ground at this dreadful sneak attack, the strengthened Athena who had the boosts of two Supreme Laws because of Noah's Guider Type Abilities utterly decimating two World Rank experts and the rest of the remaining Celestials in the Command Room.

Grandmaster Vredral's body was trembling as the terrifying possibility he thought of when he observed Crixus to turn into a monstrous figure was ascertained, and it was even more horrible as his other disciple was also involved!

"What..why…?"

His aged brain seemed to move slower as his white beard trembled, his eyes on Athena switching from shock to wrath as his status as an experienced Grandmaster returned gradually after the shock, his body beginning to glow with power at the Domain Expansion realm as he screamed out in a painful manner.

"Both my disciples! Who did this? Who did this?!"

His attacks went towards Athena as she brushed them off, her level of power that was a rank higher than her Master dominating the scene as she looked towards him with a difficult gaze.

"You took me from Grandmaster Luo as my Master, taught me all I know about fate and chaos. Yet...you were the one acting hypocritically all this time!"

Hey immense power that was a realm higher wrapped around Vredral as he was completely incapacitated, his gaze wrathfully shaking as he looked towards her.

"You were a being with a Noble Fate! What could have possibly made you turn away from such a golden path?! What made you and that other monster I trained into such wretched creatures?!"

RUMBLE!

Athena was about to confront Grandmaster Vredral and release all her pent-up emotions and injustices she felt from this being that effectively raised her. She was about to see if she could get a sense of peace before her death came under the hands of the terrifying being that had turned into a star...she actually wanted to say many things to this being she called her master!

Yet at this moment, a spatial ripple erupted out as a figure swiftly appeared in the command room of the Realm Dreadnaught, his gaze landing on the disciple and master about to confront each other in an emotional tearjerker.

It was a devilishly handsome being with hair tinged gold and black, streaks of silver within as his face looked eerily similar to the 9th Infernal Lord outside of the Realm Dreadnaught facing Commanders Verdant and Lylle!

Noah's second clone that always remained in the Time Space of the Infinite Realm training had taken a brief break as he appeared on the command room of the Realm Dreadnaught, a veil spreading out from him as the events in this expansive room were covered from any peering eyes.

"Well, isn't this sweet."

His voice rang out as his face rapidly changed, adopting the face of Crixus, a being the both of them knew all too well!

"A Master and his two disciples are together once more, this time watching a grand show."

He spoke with a smile as Grandmaster Vredral's body shook even more, feeling an immense power from this being with the face of Crixus as he waved his hands towards him, the energy that Athena had used to wrap around him fading away as his body was raised in the air like a ragdoll, his face being raised towards the clear glass that showed the events playing out in the starry space across the Verittas Fortress!

"I want both of you to watch the events about to play out next with full attention. You can play out the drama of betrayal and emotions thereafter."

RUMBLE!

His words rang out as Athena bit her lips and turned her gaze towards the shocking scene playing out in the starry expanse of space, her mind filled with many thoughts as she considered the face of the Infernal Lord that had changed into Crixus just a moment ago.

But as she heard his cold tone towards her once more, the hope she had that the relationship she had with this Junior Brother of hers might still have a semblance of meaning were dashed as she wondered- was he just putting on a show, or was there actually something deep within his heart that made the time they spent together real?!

She never received an answer as her hopes sank even lower, the lul that the battlefield experienced with the advent of a monstrous figure of star ending at this moment!

WAA!

A shocking level of power was erupting out on two sides of the battlefield, both of them had Noah as the central figure among them. As if this was not enough, his second clone had also appeared in the Realm Dreadnaught of the Celestials as a maddened Grandmaster was forced to lay his eyes on a terrible nightmare…

"My dear Senior Sister, go out and let me see you give judgment to those who truly spread chaos. Let our master see exactly what those establishing order look like."

Athena's let out an emotional sigh as she nodded, her body beginning to be wrapped in colors of gold as she adorned Fate's Armament. Her gaze became sharp as her eyes honed in on the backs of many Celestials populating the battlefield!

A grand show was about to play out, and its conclusion would be a shocking one to experience!
