Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 269: Aftermath, Hollowstar’s Change of Plans

Planet Eldoren, Midnight Empire, Leveraum Dukedome.

"Noooo!!"

A middle-aged man with blond hair and dark skin roared as the air trembled, decorations turned into dust in the hall, and everything shook like an earthquake.

"My son!"

The Archduke cried in anguish at his son’s death.

"Father..."

A young man looking in his twenties stood at the entrance of the hall, his eyes reflecting the agonized figure of his father.

"He was cut into pieces, Vel! Your brother..." the Archduke arrived before his elder son, eyes bloodshot, almost maddening. "His pieces..."

Vel bit his lips and kept his hands behind his back as they clenched tightly. "I found out who killed him, father. The culprit is from planet Earth, and we can avenge him by invading them and killing that human called Almond. The ones who managed to escape told us about him."

"Revenge, yes. Whoever killed your brother, my son....they must die."

Vel firmly nodded, his eyes glinting red with wrath. "We have to collect one million battlefield points and buy an item called Invasion Compass for someone to invade. For now, the Emperor has called us and others who lost their sons and daughters. Please compose yourself and come. We have to finish the last rites of El."

...

In the Empyradrake and Cyberterra worlds, people grieved as they lost their young ones.

And all of them knew that the culprit was Almond and his name was spreading far and wide from those who escaped by surrendering.

Meanwhile, Almond was enjoying a passionate time with Lily after returning and leaving everything in the hands of his spirit wraiths, grim breakers, and other gold rankers.

...

On a meteorite streaking through space, within its center, a familiar figure lay, protected within a violet and black film.

Lerkeion.

"I apologize, my lord. The planet Earth has a powerful warrior with terrifying mastery in space and a sword. He sent me far away from Earth by creating a void, throwing me away at random coordinates."

In front of Lerkeion was a hologram showing a hooded figure.

"This is strange," the figure said. "These four worlds participating in phase 1 like this is not a coincidence. An overseer may have interfered to make these four worlds compete against each other."

"Each of the other three worlds has an Arcane champion of Eternal will, and they already suppressed our forces in their worlds, but now, this planet Earth we were eyeing also turned out to have one such champion."

Lerkeion was silent as he just listened, feeling the frustration in his lord’s voice.

"There’s no other choice. Hollowstar is hungry, and we need to feed it a rich planet. We can’t wait for one of them to fail in the Grimworld’s Tutorial before devouring it. We have to act now."

Lerkeion’s pupils shrank, "You mean...are you going to disrupt the Grimworld’s Tutorial?"

"Each of those four worlds has an arcane champion. They are sufficiently disruptors, but their presence almost guarantees that their world will pass the tutorial. So, we are out of options now."

"But if we make a big move, the overseer will be able to stop us, no?" Lerkeion asked, frowning.

"This is but a game of entertainment for the lords of Grimworld," the hooded figure’s voice turned serene, devoid of previous frustration. "I will make arrangements and then observe these four worlds. Depending on their progression and development, we will choose one and disrupt it, bringing chaos over it. The masters won’t care as long as the champions survive and ascend."

"As for you, go back to the headquarters and prepare for your ascension. You’ve stayed in the universe layer enough. It’s time to move to the Grimworld."

"As you wish, my lord," Lerkeion said, his eyes dancing with excitement. ’Finally, I can go up!’
