Chapter 1357: Actually, I Do. [Bonus]

[Bonus Chapter thanks to Kalinus </3 may your nights be long, hard, and up the butt]

“What the fuck did I just see?” Gwenu mumbled. She looked over to Khan again, trying to find someone on the same wavelength as her, only to see that he had pulled out a little notebook and was furiously taking notes.

Gwenu was speechless. What happened to the sanity of the world? This was a very important situation!

“You could never pull that off. She’d chop your balls off.”

Khan wasn’t listening at all.

“So this is the husband you were talking about?” Vaernon looked curiously from Sylas to his younger brother, who was staring at the latter as though his gaze might form daggers and skewer the man through.

Cassarae seemed barely coherent enough to listen to Sylas’ words, let alone anyone else. She was still trying to gear up enough sanity to go on her next profanity tirade.

“What’s the situation?” Sylas asked Cassarae nonchalantly.

“… Thryskai… mission… annoying… picked you…”

The string of words was pretty incoherent, but Sylas picked up what he needed to, filling in the gaps.

“Who married the Thryskai?” was the next question he asked.

“Stupid bitch… Matriarch’s daughter…”

“Mm.”

Sylas could guess the rest. He had already killed one of their sons. It seemed that he would have to kill another eventually.

However, that son had been suppressed beneath the Milky Way’s system. This one was not only certainly not suppressed, but they were certainly not F-tier either.

“And what do you get if I win?”

“Time.”

Sylas nodded slowly. The fact that was all she got meant that this situation was quite bad.

The Petals of the Seeing Thorn had obviously decided to bet on the Thryskai. However, the organization was meant to be mostly neutral and only go after the best of benefits.

Deviating from that and choosing Sylas was ridiculous. So if they wanted Cassarae to come out on top… it would take quite a bit.

“And what are you going to do after this?”

Cassarae seemed to finally be regaining her bearings. “That depends. How close are you to progressing to the Emperor Sanctum?”

Sylas’ answer wasn’t something anyone expected.

“I’m still about 50 years away from wiping them from existence.”

Even Cassarae blinked, let alone everyone else. But she was still the first to understand. Unfortunately, that understanding came with a string of curses.

“Goddammit, Sylas Brown. You can’t do anything the normal way, can you?! Why couldn’t you just be on a nice trajectory?!”

Cassarae’s plan was obvious. So long as Sylas was valued by the Emperor Sanctum, it would be worth easily as much as backing the new heir to a Demi-God Clan.

If Sylas was dead set on being their enemy, then there was no way to easily reverse this situation. An impossible task had suddenly become infinitely harder.

“They took something from me they shouldn’t have.”

That was all Sylas said, and yet the moment she heard it, Cassarae became furious for another reason.

“Fuck them,” she growled.

“What will you do now?”

“Just win like you’re supposed to. I’ll figure it out,” Cassarae said, suddenly remembering that she should be angry with him.

“That’s a given.”

Cassarae snorted, but she didn’t leave Sylas’ side. Her interrogation would have to continue another time.

“I assume you did what needed to be done?” Sylas asked.

“Why are you being so cryptic?”

“People are listening in, in case you haven’t noticed.”

“Is this your way of trying to avoid answering my questions about all these women?”

“Did you?”

“Of course I did. I wouldn’t miss this opportunity.”

“Good. Then we can begin,” Sylas said calmly.

Sylas walked forward.

At this moment, they were all in a hallway, gathering here as though afraid to let the world know that something absolutely enormous was about to happen.

Without a care, Sylas walked to a pair of glass doors by the side. He could tell that they were one-way, and on the outside of them, there was a railing, beyond which was a huge drop.

The railing went all the way around in an enormous loop, sections of this loop having offshoots where pods sat. These pods… they were the key to what would be happening.

At that moment, Wei, who still didn’t know how to adapt to this current situation, felt a beep at her wrist. Startled, she hurriedly looked before her eyes turned bloodshot.

“Cassarae! What did you do?!”

Cassarae blinked and then looked back. “You said the world didn’t know my husband. Isn’t it about time they did? You can’t have wanted to keep this under wraps, right?” Her smile grew brighter. “You were right, I did drain all my merits. But you were wrong about one thing. I didn’t spend it all on information.”

The Petals of the Seeing Thorn was the best information network in the Sector. But it was also something else:

The best delivery system in the Sector as well.

Normally, such a wide-scale delivery would have been flagged and checked.

It was a good thing, then, that Cassarae had been plotting this timed release for many months already, even setting deliveries from a completely different Sector—a chance she only had thanks to the Petals of the Seeing Thorn in the first place.

What good was all of this if these powers could conspire to keep it under wraps?

Sylas was planning his own way of disseminating this information. But since his wife had already taken the initiative, he might as well rely on her for once.

With a push, the glass doors opened, a rush of air and Aether streaming in.

In a flash, an elder appeared before Sylas, his robes billowing. His aura was reserved, but it didn’t take much for Sylas to know that he was a C-tier.

Rather than letting him speak, Sylas spoke first.

“I am the F-tier representative of the Sanctum. Let’s begin.”

“You don’t—”

“Actually, I do get to decide that. In case you’ve forgotten, this is a challenge of the Bat Lineage to the Scorpion Lineage. These third-party representatives are only here as add-ons. The Bat Lineage can levy their challenge, together, both our Lineages decide on the rules, and the start of the challenge is decided by our Scorpion Lineage. Those are the rules of our Sanctum.

“So I’ll only say this one more time.

“Let’s begin.”
