Chapter 1542 Fire In A Gunpowder Keg.

He can't believe that he failed. He has not been wrong in a long time, but this failure is greater than a setback to his confidence because he can't tell where he went wrong. He can't even understand how he failed. It was as if all the power he used for the technique suddenly disappeared. He asked himself, "Was it siphoned by something I can't sense? Or was it interrupted by the void universe?"

"Maybe your technique is just not possible." Legion-6 said.

That explanation didn't placate Soverick. He asked more questions, "But where did all that power go? It just disappeared. That shouldn't be possible. The world doesn't feel any different, and I don't feel different either. That shouldn't be possible. Even if I failed, there should at least be a violent discharge of energy into the world and a disruption of space, time, and order. But there is nothing. There should be something."

He truly cannot understand why he failed. The main issue was that there was no resistance or backlash to signify success or failure. All he felt after using the ability was the removal of the fusion state he used temporarily. He used all that power for, apparently, nothing.

He can't even see anything remotely related to the technique in his future vision. The future didn't change at all, and the present is still the same.

They discussed it some more before giving up on it. Soverick is not one to give up easily, so he tried the future divinity again. Unfortunately, his virtual world refused to combine with his past vision and future vision like it did the first time. It caused all the power he accumulated to remain within him, with nowhere to go and nothing to do. This made him realize that something had indeed changed, as his concept should always be able to do what it can do whenever he wants it to do it. But he couldn't figure out anything else aside from that. So they gave up on that and moved on to executing their plans for the era of conquest. But it still remained at the back of Soverick's mind. It was a nagging feeling that Legion was happy to leave for Soverick to think about. ----Within High Heaven Realm. 

It is an understatement to say that the realm is shaken by the recent developments. War has come, and the era of conquest has begun. You would expect the inhabitants of the realm to rally together in the face of this existential crisis, but it is not completely so. Some Origin gods were rightfully focused on the invasion, but others decided to use the opportunity granted to them by the removal of suppression to settle some scores. They went looking for every person who had offended them and was hidden in the realm. The Origin gods were not the only ones with scores to settle, and their presence in the realm seemed to have ignited the thirst for violence. So the inhabitants of the realm were also fighting each other. One such fight was taking place on the Virut plane. The planes of the realm have fused together with the ancient battlefield. They have lost the barriers between themselves, so anyone can go across any plane now.

The fusion didn't occur randomly. Land parts that were close to each other when they were divided a long time ago to create planes, became close to each other once again. Some of these planes had similar races on them or still have similar races. Some of these races don't like each other, while others didn't know that the other plane and the race it contained existed at all.

This was not the situation with the Virut plane and the battle sage monkeys. The Virut plane and one certain plane that they have been enemies with recently happen to be their neighbors. The fusion of the plane lit a fire in the gunpowder keg that is the enemity between the two races. The Virut plane used to have the protection of the planar portal and the barricade of their leviathan floating fortresses to keep invaders away in the void, but not anymore. The Vipers can now face them head-on, and their previous child of the plane can now chase after Salvini without hindrance. The Vipers are fighting the battle sage monkeys at the border between their two planes. It is the reenactment of their ancient battle between the two races, except both sides are more powerful now. They have the same number of fighters since the two sides are not putting all of their resources into the war. The number of soldiers on both sides could be greater, but both sides are holding back. After all, this war is not a fight for survival between the two races, and there is a greater issue to deal with. This war is just the petty revenge of some disgraced Vipers who want to visit violence on battle sage monkeys. No side is winning either because the powerful ones that are not immortal have escaped from the realm tree, while most of the Origin gods are not interested in a useless fight. But some Origin gods are certainly interested. One of them is Soverick Ghastorix. Soverick was watching the battle on the side. He didn't interfere with it at all. Now he is moving through the plane, looking for something. He didn't plan to interfere because he came solely for Salvini. It would have been nice had she been on the battlefield, defending her people like a good child of the plane. But Salvini is not around, so he has to look for her. He is wearing a cloak, so no one can see his identity. Beneath his fake cloak is a featureless white crystal statue. He looks like a Supreme Beast, except that he has many eyes all over his body. There are eyes on the back of his head, his chest, and his arms. All of the eyes are closed right now, except one.
