Chapter 1215 Demolition Expert.

It is not that the Mechanical Emperor thinks that Tanc830,428,723C is lying. He knows that Tanc830,428,723C means well with his statement. But he also knows that Tanc830,428,723C didn't become Agrivo839,371,456A's mentor by chance.

The personnel in charge of the Mentor-Charge fixing prioritizes compatibility between the mentor and the charge. They do this based on compatibility in personality and behavior.

This means that Agrivo839,371,456A and Tanc830,428,723C were paired together after a thorough analysis of their behaviors found them to be compatible. So if Tanc830,428,723C is headstrong and problematic, odds are that Agrivo839,371,456A is headstrong and problematic too.

Tanc830,428,723C tried to defend himself, "I don't think I was that troublesome."

The Mechanical Emperor roared in laughter. "You don't think you were that troublesome? You were building bombs and blowing everything apart. You were a pyromaniac and you tried to burn down the whole plane."

"I didn't think it was possible to burn down the whole plane that's why I tried to do it. I thought I was going to fail so there was no harm in trying."

"But you tried by spending decades to rig almost a million bombs into the crust of the plane. Then you used the bombs to threaten and extort people. You eventually activated the bombs which risked the lives of your fellow Supreme beasts and damaged the plane so much that it took 10,000 years for it to recover enough to be mined. Even now after 8 Origin cycles, it still bears some of the injuries you inflicted on it."

Tanc830,428,723C maintained, "But I failed to burn down the whole plane so I was right to think it was impossible. Also, in my defense, I wouldn't have activated the bombs if they hadn't called my bluff so they had some blame in this."

The Mechanical Emperor yelled, "That's not the point. The point is that you tried to burn down the plane. Who does that? Troublesome people is who."

Tanc830,428,723C quickly changed the subject from his troublesome past. "I have to ask. Why are you here as the invigilator? You don't need the contribution points and even if you did, you clearly have enough to become a world god."

The Mechanical Emperor snorted but replied, "The waters have deepened ever since the realm lord announced the coming of the era of conquest. Several powerful entities have awakened from their slumber and the realm has become chaotic. The Supreme Alliance cannot take any chances with the rites of passage. They requested for me to come here and make sure everything goes well."

"Are things so bad?" Tanc830,428,723C couldn't help but ask. "Who is so desperate as to offend the Supreme Alliance?"

"Yes and no. Things aren't so bad that people are desperate enough to offend the Supreme Alliance. It is just the same old threat. The Shadow Lurker has arrived in this plane. It was expected that she would meddle in the affairs of the Supreme Alliance since she has been doing so recently. But I didn't expect that she would come to my plane. Things are going to get hectic."

Tanc830,428,723C cursed. "So that's what the Supreme Alliance meant by telling me that this rite of passage is special and significant. It is clearly bad but they didn't state it. I shouldn't have brought Agrivo839,371,456A to this rite of passage."

"Don't worry. That's why I am here. I will protect all of them. They are the future power of the Supreme Alliance. At most one of them will die. It is a necessary Sacrifice."

Tanc830,428,723C could only sigh. "I hope Agrivo839,371,456A isn't so unlucky. But if he is then it would be his fault. Anyway, I am glad you are here. I will leave now. Take care."

"You too." The Mechanical Emperor said.

The Mechanical Emperor returned to maintaining his vigilance of the plane. Most of his attention is towards the planar portal. That's where he sensed the obscure and hidden entity that entered the plane. His senses cover the whole plane but he still can't find the shadow lurker.

The only time he sensed her was when she entered the plane. The disruption of the teleportation probably made her expose her aura quickly before she recovered and covered it up. Her presence here means that some young Supreme Beasts would die.

The greatest taboo to the Supreme Alliance is the murder of their young. They go to war for that kind of thing. Not only does the Shadow Lurker succeed in committing the taboo, she also gets away with it.

The Mechanical Emperor wishes that he is wrong but he is sure it is the Shadow Lurker who entered the plane because any entity that can remain hidden under the gaze of a Supreme Origin god and enters a plane without identifying itself during the time that a rite of passage is about to start in a plane that just fell under the control of the Supreme Alliance has to be the shadow lurker.

That's how she behaves. She has infiltrated planes like this many times in the past and committed the taboo soon after. From the looks of things, it seems she will do it again.

The Mechanical Emperor said with determination, "This time will be the last time she terrorizes the Supreme Alliance. The plan will succeed and this venture will be her last. Not even the realm lord will be able to save her."

Then he asked. "Have you found her?"

A voice from an unknown and unseen being replied, "I have eyes on her. She is staying around the planar portal. She hasn't dared to approach yet."

Another voice from another unseen being spoke, "We will get her. This is what we were made for."

The Mechanical was satisfied with their reply. The Supreme Alliance has put a lot of effort into this rite of passage. He is one Origin god but he might as well be an army of Origin gods. As if that isn't enough, there are other Origin gods in the plane apart from him.

A/N: In Tanc830,428,723C's defense, his attempt to demolish the plane broadened the horizon of his peers and resulted in a record breaking ascension rate of 96%. That's something to be proud of in my book.
