At this moment, the entire Myriad Galaxy Palace quaked, alarming the palace guards.
Everyone thought that it was an earthquake, but strangely enough, only the Myriad Galaxy Palace was affected; the city was completely fine.
"What is going on?" A palace guard questioned another palace guard in confusion.
But before the other guard could reply—boom!
The dome of the palace suddenly blasted open, and an imposing figure appeared hovering in the air. He has a regal demeanor, and his eyes were emotionless as he scanned the surroundings with indifference. But despite his imposing manners, his skin was filled with cracks as if it would fall at any moment.
A few streaks of light suddenly shot up from the palace, revealing armed guards, who were all Legendary Nobles, and they quickly surrounded the ’intruder’.
However, when those Legendary Nobles saw the face of this ’intruder’, they found him extremely familiar before one among them suddenly cried in horror.
"Y-you...Myriad...Galaxy...King!?" His voice was hoarse, but when the other guards heard that name, their expression also changed as they looked at the man closely, and just like that guard, they were also horrified.
"How could this be?!"
Some of them were loyal to the new legendary king, the Myriad Runic King, and they were panicked when they thought the Myriad Galaxy King, who was supposed to be ’missing’, had suddenly emerged from the Myriad Galaxy Palace. It was simply too shocking.
At that moment, the ’Myriad Galaxy King’ suddenly muttered, his voice icy cold and devoid of emotion, "Living Marionette..."
Abruptly, a dark purple mist suddenly burst out from the Myriad Galaxy King’s body and spread like a wildfire. It was so fast that, almost within a second, it covered the entire Myriad Galaxy Palace.
The palace guards’ expressions changed as they quickly reacted, not daring to breathe in this mist, and they wanted to escape. Furthermore, they felt no discomfort from the mist, as if it wasn’t harmful or poisonous, as they had thought.
But all of a sudden, those palace guards, including the legendary nobles surrounding the ’Myriad Galaxy King’, underwent a strange yet terrifying change the moment the mist surrounded them.
Their expressions started to change, their eyes began to lose their luster before becoming blank, and all movement suddenly ceased. Within ten seconds, the dark purple mist fades away as if it wasn’t there in the first place.
However, those palace guards had now remained in their positions like statues, and their expressions were blank without even a hint of emotion, just like the ’Myriad Galaxy King’ in front of them.
The ’Myriad Galaxy King’ suddenly closed his eyes at this moment, and ethereal strings suddenly surfaced above those palace guards’ heads. Surprisingly, those strings were all connected with the ’Myriad Galaxy King’s glabella. Furthermore, those strings seemed to be releasing invisible pulses.
After a few seconds had passed, ’Myriad Galaxy King’ suddenly opened his eyes, and those strings vanished without any trace. But the creepy coldness in his eyes was now replaced with an eerie light.
"I’ve been here for almost a hundred years? And ’Sir’ had been gone after a few days when I started my evolution...many things have transpired since I began my evolution..." He muttered emotionlessly.
Within seconds, the ’Myriad Galaxy King’ had ’absorbed’ all the knowledge within those palace guards like a sponge, which also included those events while ’he’ had been evolving. If those legendary kings found out about this, they would be horrified because even Soul Search can’t achieve something like this.
After arranging his thoughts, the ’Myriad Galaxy King’ gazed out at the magnificent city, filled with life and activity.
"Because of the Great War, all the legendary kings of Life Factions have been called back to the headquarters, and the Neutral Faction had agreed not to infringe on their territories during this war. Right now, only three legendary lords are guarding the Myriad Galaxy City.
"I should use this chance to evaluate my power rank. If I devour the entire city, I can barely reach Tier-3 Legendary Lord Rank. But it’s enough to start. Only after that can I look for ’Sir’..."
The next moment, without any hint of hesitation, the ’Myriad Galaxy King’ called, "Domain of Eclipse Devourer!"
Thereby, a small soul totem manifestation surfaced behind the ’Myriad Galaxy King’, the totem was dark purple, and it was vividly shaped like a coiled centipede, like a spiral. It was a unique soul totem, as rare as dual or triple law soul totems!
But it wasn’t important for the next moment; invisible ripples released from the spiral centipede soul totem began to spread throughout the city. Although these ripples seemed harmless and without any kind of power behind them, if someone could magnify them at the microscopic level, a sudden chill would run down their spine.
Those ’ripples’ contained countless ethereal microorganisms shaped like centipedes, and their mouths were filled with sharp teeth!
When they reached a living being, those micro-centipedes dug into his flesh without any difficulty and entered his bloodstream before making their way towards his head. The most eerie part was that the person didn’t even realize it and continued as usual.
Within seconds, those micro-centipedes spread throughout the city, affecting anything with life in it, whether it was small or large, common or legendary lords; no one could detect them, and no one could counter them.
After a few minutes, the common rank livestock suddenly started to wilt away as its plump body slowly lost its shape; it was as if its vitality was quickly depleting.
As more time passed, higher-ranked living beings started to show the same signs, yet they still didn’t seem to notice it. It was as if their mind weren’t capable of registering these signs.
Even when the common rank living beings turned into wilted corpses, they were still oblivious to their death; it was like falling into an ethereal sleep.
This phenomenon was eerie and soul-shaking to say the least, as the entire city was dying, but no one seemed to care.
As for the ’one’ who was behind it, he remained in his position without moving, but the spiral centipede soul totem manifestation behind ’him’ seemed to be growing bigger with each passing second!
