Chapter 1776: Surrounded - 3
Before anyone could speak further, another aura appeared.
The space beside Morgana folded inward silently.
There was no explosion, no light, and no grand entrance, yet the moment the space folded, everyone felt as if the distance between them and that direction had become meaningless. A young man stepped out from the folded space, dressed in a simple white robe with black edges.
His long hair was tied loosely behind him, his eyes were silver-gray, and his expression was calm to the point of indifference. Around him, faint traces of void power moved like transparent water, causing the air near his body to distort and rebuild itself again and again.
Max’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This person’s aura was different from the others. And most importantly, he could sense the aura of Void Genesis Art from this man.
Rosaline slowly said, "Kaiden Voidmere of the Grand Void Sanctum."
The young man glanced at her calmly but did not respond.
The Grand Void Sanctum was another one of the seven strongest first-rate forces of the Divine Realm, and its disciples were famous for their mastery over space, void laws, and strange movement techniques that made them almost impossible to trap. Among them, Kaiden Voidmere was known as the strongest genius of his generation.
Some said he had been born inside a collapsing void rift and survived because the void itself acknowledged him. Others said he had already touched the edge of a Pseudo Cosmic Path related to emptiness and distance, making him one of the most dangerous participants in the entire Cosmic Ascension Conference.
Kaiden’s gaze moved to Max.
For a brief moment, his calm eyes flickered.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
No killing intent appeared between them, but the air around them became tense in a different way, as if two people who understood the same type of danger had recognized each other instantly.
Then the third aura descended.
Unlike Morgana’s eerie mystic presence or Kaiden’s silent void pressure, this aura was direct, grand, and overbearing. Nine points of starlight appeared in the sky above the base of the Witch God Tree, and each star shone with a different shade of silver, gold, blue, red, white, purple, black, green, and crimson.
The nine stars revolved once, then descended together, forming a stairway of starlight. From that stairway, a young man walked down step by step.
He wore dark-gold battle armor engraved with nine star marks, and his black hair moved wildly in the wind. His eyes were bright like burning stars, and every step he took caused the ground beneath the Witch God Tree to tremble faintly.
Compared to Morgana and Kaiden, he made no attempt to hide his strength. His aura was bold, sharp, and filled with absolute confidence, as if he believed that every battlefield he entered should naturally make room for him.
Caroline’s face became even more solemn. "Nine Star Court."
Jessica swallowed. "The strongest first-rate force..."
Nine Star Court was often called the strongest first-rate force in the Divine Realm. Even among the seven strongest first-rate forces, its reputation stood at the top. Its disciples cultivated star power, body power, combat arts, and star formations, and their inheritance was famous for producing monsters who could fight across levels with terrifying ease.
Many people believed that if Nine Star Court ever produced a true supreme genius capable of uniting its nine great star inheritances, that person might one day challenge even the weakest supreme forces.
Selene’s expression finally lost some of its ease. "Orion Starfall."
The young man in dark-gold armor smiled broadly. "Selene, you look unhappy to see me."
Orion Starfall.
The strongest genius of Nine Star Court.
His name alone caused the battlefield to become even heavier. Even Seraphine and Fin, who had been arrogant before Max crushed them, looked deeply cautious now. They might look down on many people, but they would never dare to look down on Orion Starfall.
Among the younger generation of the seven strongest first-rate forces, his reputation was terrifying, and there were already rumors that he had defeated several peak Law Manifestation Realm geniuses without using his full strength.
With Morgana Starveil of Stellar Templar, Kaiden Voidmere of the Grand Void Sanctum, and Orion Starfall of Nine Star Court appearing at the same time, the situation at the base of the Witch God Tree instantly became far more complicated.
Max’s group stood in the center.
Selene and the second faction elves stood on one side.
Princess Rosaline and the Lunarian Kingdom stood on another.
And now, three more monsters from three of the seven strongest first-rate forces had appeared.
The base of the Witch God Tree no longer looked like a simple ambush.
It looked like the gathering point of the strongest young geniuses of the Divine Realm.
Morgana’s purple eyes moved to the small cursed eye attached to Max’s shoulder, and a trace of curiosity appeared on her face. "A Witch’s curse mark. How interesting. I felt the death of the Abyssal Witch Eye and came to see who had the courage to kill the old guardian, but I did not expect the person to be carrying the mark so calmly."
Kaiden looked at Max’s shoulder as well, then at Dragonheart. "He also carries the Sword of the Sword Sovereign."
Orion laughed. "And he is the same Max Morgan whose ranking jumped like a madman. Good. I was wondering when I would meet him."
Selene’s face became colder.
She had intended to deal with Max and Caroline quickly, but the arrival of Morgana, Kaiden, and Orion changed the balance completely. None of these three belonged to weak powers, and none of them would obey her. Even worse, each of them had clearly come because of Max, the Witch’s curse mark, the Sword of the Sword Sovereign, or the commotion around Witch God Valley.
Max looked at the three newcomers calmly.
"You three came to fight too?"
Morgana smiled. "Not necessarily. I sensed that someone destroyed the guardian here and came to check."
Kaiden replied flatly, "That depends."
Orion grinned. "I came to see if you are as strong as the rumors say."
Max’s expression did not change.
The little cursed eye on his shoulder blinked again, slowly turning from Selene to Morgana, then to Kaiden, then to Orion, as if even the curse itself was watching the arrival of these powerful geniuses with interest.
Rosaline looked at the scene and sighed softly. "Now this has truly become troublesome."
Selene’s golden eyes moved between Max and the three newcomers, then her lips curled into a cold smile again.
"Interesting," she said. "It seems everyone wants a piece of you, Max Morgan."
Max held Dragonheart loosely at his side.
His gaze swept across Selene, Seraphine, Fin, Rosaline, Morgana, Kaiden, and Orion.
Then he smiled faintly.
"If all of you are done introducing yourselves," Max said calmly, "decide quickly whether you are here to watch or to stand in my way."
