Chapter 1209 To Despair.


    ??Tanc830,428,723C was finally satisfied with his answer. "Good. I like your use of ''might'' and ''usually''. It denotes that you are not certain of your conjecture and your answer was not in blind confidence."


    He said, "I will clear your doubts. This sea of bones is called a sea of despair. Take note that we call it "a" sea of despair and not "the" sea of despair. What does that tell you?"


    Legion-5 replied after thinking, "It implies that there are a lot of this."


    Tanc830,428,723C nodded in agreement. "Yes, there are many seas of despair. But not in this ne. There is only one in this ne. There is one in almost every single ne of the 20,000 nes that the Supreme Alliance controls in the realm. Why do you think that is the case?"


    Legion-5 wanted to roll his eyes but he doesn''t have eyes to roll. It has only been a decade since he was hatched but he is already tired of being treated like an ignorant child.


    Still, he answered, "Because the Supreme Alliance killed a lot of people in the nes."


    Tanc830,428,723C nodded and said proudly. "This conversation is the start of the rite of passage. My mentor also took me to see a sea of despair when I was about to begin my rite of passage. He said to me just as I will say to you and you will say to your junior in the future, "Do you know why it is called the sea of despair?"


    "Before I could answer, my mentorughed. Heughed like this." Then Tanc830,428,723Cughed.


    Hisughter was weird because he didn''t have a mouth tough so he had to create a mouth on his face tough. This mouth was also weird because it was iplete. It didn''t have teeth or tongues. It is more of a hole in his face where air is pushed out in the form of a bellowingugh.


    Tanc830,428,723C eventually stoppedughing.


    Then he said, "The answer is obvious, isn''t it? It is because they despaired. We came knocking and they tried all they could to defend their ne. Men and women, billions of them came of one mind to defend against the might of the Supreme Alliance. They failed. And they despaired."


    Tanc830,428,723C stopped looking at the sea of bones and turned to Legion-5. "I have it on good authority that only one Supreme beast attacked and subdued this ne. She alone brought this entire ne to its knees. She alone made billions of people despair."


    "Only one?" Legion-5 asked feigning surprise and awe.


    He is only half impressed because a clone of Legion has also managed to bring a ne to its knees. Ragnarok didn''t manage to defeat everyone in the ne like the Supreme beast did but he seeded in causing the destruction of the ne.


    Tanc830,428,723C confirmed, "Yes, Just one Supreme Beast."


    Then he raised his hands wide and side, "Behold her works and marvel at the glory of the Supreme Alliance."


    "Let us go."


    They continued on their way after the short pause. Tanc830,428,723C tore past the barrier of the ne and entered the void between nes. Outside the ne is a ring of metal that encapstes the entire ne. It is an unnatural phenomenon.


    The bubble that is the ne looks as if it is shackled by the ring. The bubble is smaller in the void but the ring has to be absolutely massive for it to surround the whole ne. There are also numerous floating fortresses patrolling around the ne.


    Tanc830,428,723C said as they flew away, "This is the nar defense system of the Supreme Alliance. It is meant to keep our nes in our possession. Won''t it be silly if we lose a ne after invading it?"


    Legion-5 wasn''t surprised by the sight. Soverick had seen this earlier. It is one of the reasons why they ruled out this ne as the meeting point for him and Legion-7. The ne''s security is too high.


    Tanc830,428,723C shed his identity mark so that the surveince system would let them through. They left the ne and moved quickly in the void. His mentor spoke to him on their way.


    "You are a Supreme Beast. We bring despair to races. You must do well in the rite of passage so that you too can embody this Will. We are Supreme."


    Legion-5 couldn''t help but ask, "If we are so great, why haven''t we taken over the whole ne."


    Tanc830,428,723C chuckled. "It is all the realm lord''s fault. He is suppressing us. What a pompous high elf. He became the realm lord because we didn''t even try to take that position."


    "I don''t understand. What do you mean by we didn''t try to take the position? If the position is so powerful why didn''t we try to take it?"


    He asked that question because what Tanc830,428,723C said sounded like a weak excuse from someone who failed to achieve something but doesn''t want to admit inferiority. It sounds like something a prideful dragon would say.


    "Let me exin it to you. The requirement to be realm lord is to be the first Origin god produced in the whole realm with a 6w concept. We Supreme Beasts have only two paths and none of them involves learning manyws. The path of further awakening only requires a singlew, thew of life. While the path of permanence disqualifies our divine ability from that position."


    "The path of further awakening is already difficult and whoever attempts it is considered an outlier. And that''s just the difficulty of onew. It is madness to try to acquire a 6w concept when we are stronger than Origin gods with 6w concepts only to fail. So we didn''t try at all. We remained content with the path of permanence and missed out on the position of realm lord."


    That exnation still didn''t convince Legion-5. It still sounded like an excuse to him. Just more borate.
