MIGHT AS WELL BE OP Chapter 1346: Heavenly
Previously on MIGHT AS WELL BE OP...
Anthony couldn’t help but smile as he saw that he had been seen through. He shook his head with a sigh as the ring on his finger vanished, and he spoke.
"Just make your move already. I’m tired of the foreplay," he stated as a grin appeared on his face. Personally, he had to thank The Lover Of Death; he loved this development. It was fun, to say the least.
At Anthony’s words, the entire River Of Night Territory shook as various Eternal Apexes unleashed their presences. Before their pressure reached Anthony, he instantly sent Chaos Betroth and the Above disciples to his house in the Divine Realm. The pressure slammed into Anthony, and the collective pressure from over a hundred Eternal Apexes was immense. The earth where he stood shattered, while space cracked like glass, jagged lines running through it.
Anthony remained standing with a grin on his face. He was ready to move; he was ready to take on the Sathor Grand Region if it came to it.
Seeing Anthony withstand their combined pressure, the Eternal Apexes couldn’t help but groan in surprise. Although they were holding back so as not to affect their own forces, it was still... mind-boggling.
As they prepared to make their moves, various figures tore downwards from above as new Eternal Apexes made their entrance. Heads immediately snapped towards the sky, where thirty Eternal Apexes were standing, all wearing the same type of robe, which showed that they were from the same organization.
The Silent Drop, who stood at the forefront, spoke in a cold tone.
"This is the Territory of the River Of Night. Fights of all kinds are prohibited here. If you choose to engage regardless of this warning, we would have no choice but to intervene," she stated, her eyes showing that she meant business.
Everyone finally remembered. While people of the younger generation might be allowed to fight, people of the older generation definitely weren’t, the reason being the scale of destruction they could cause.
The Eternal Apexes instantly frowned, as they had momentarily forgotten about the rules of the River Of Night Territory. While none of them feared the River Of Night, as they were all Ancient Organizations, this was their territory, after all. They had been able to come here so peacefully without issues because everyone always followed the rules.
But they couldn’t help but wonder if the River Of Night weren’t interested in the reward from the Underground Tomb. Any force would be interested in the inheritance of The Lover Of Death, yet they seemed much more interested in protecting only their territory, which everyone perfectly understood.
The thirty River Of Night Organization Eternal Apexes didn’t move; they floated in place, waiting for anyone to make a move. If anyone did, they would be erased on the spot.
But what everyone didn’t know was that the River Of Night was very much interested, even if they didn’t comprehend Death-related Laws. They knew that it was almost impossible for all of The Lover Of Death’s treasures to be strictly related to death.
So, their plan was simple: watch others fight over the rewards first, and whoever became the last holder of the reward, they would kill. There was no need to join the skirmish and fight endlessly when they could simply sit back and watch. Besides, all battles would be happening outside their territory, which was even more perfect.
"We understand," one of the Eternal Apexes spoke, as he didn’t want to start any unnecessary or disadvantageous disputes and battles with another Ancient Organization. There was simply nothing to gain, only something to lose.
At those words, everyone nodded in understanding, their pressure in the environment vanishing.
The Silent Drop, having received verbal confirmation, simply stayed silent and said nothing more. Her eyes shifted towards Anthony. What she had said to him earlier still stood. If he needed her help, she was ready to lend it. She could even convince the entire River Of Night Territory to side with the Null Sect if possible.
Through her Eyes Of Unseen, she knew that Anthony wouldn’t die from this confrontation. How it was going to end, she didn’t exactly know. Her Eyes Of Unseen saw nothing when it came to Anthony, yet they could still provide information to her in the form of feelings.
She didn’t dive straight into rescuing Anthony. She simply waited. If he called upon her, she would be there.
Anthony’s eyes rose as he met The Silent Drop’s blue ones. He broke eye contact, then waved a hand. With that, Chaos Betroth and the Above disciples reappeared from the Divine Realm. They weren’t exactly confused at the moment, as Jerry had explained the house to them. But seeing new Eternal Apexes enter the situation left them confused.
With a final glance, The Silent Drop vanished together with her crew. As she left, Anthony stared at the Eternal Apexes with a smirk, then turned around and walked away. The others could only follow behind in confusion, their current destination being the inn where they had stayed a couple of days prior to the Underground Tomb’s opening.
"Anthony," Lora Vake spoke, but before she could say anything, Anthony cut her off.
"I will explain when we get to the inn," he stated calmly as he walked.
Chaos Betroth felt the eyes that followed them. They were filled with killing intent, and she wondered what Anthony had pulled off yet again. But she didn’t ask or say anything. All that mattered was that she and the Above disciples were alive at the moment.
Anthony would still fight these people; there was no escaping that. But for now, all he wanted to do was eat and rest for the big battle tomorrow. He looked forward to it. Upon reaching the inn, he paid yet again, as he didn’t know how many days had passed in the outside world, even if they had spent only a few hours within the Underground Tomb.
For now, he was using the fact that nobody could do anything within the River Of Night Territory to kick back and relax.
As for tomorrow, the battle would be Heavenly.
