Chapter 511
It was almost surprising how many things Everheart had to restrain other cultivators. Anton paid careful attention, though everything he saw seemed like it could only be used on already incapacitated individuals. At that point, they could have already been killed. It was fortunate for Anton that the Worldbinding cultivators had chosen to flee in the direction of Ruteras star. Had they gone elsewhere, they likely would have only suffered a few initial casualties and then escaped.
It was strange, actually. Anton had been able to sense what the two women were bonded to- could they not feel his connection to the star? Hed have to go over that with someone he trusted. And he supposed Everheart would be a fine enough option, since he already knew the important parts. Being able to feel Anton being bonded to a star wasnt relevant when the man already knew it.
So what did you say they attuned to? Everheart asked Anton after the cultivators were properly restrained, not just with threats of imminent and inescapable violence.
Followers, and these ships, Anton gestured.
Anything else? Everheart asked. Is all of it here?
Anton closed his eyes, concentrating. Even without conscious effort his stores of natural energy were replenishing, but Anton was expending most of that recovery to circulate his energy and heal his wounds. Outside of himself, he reached his thoughts towards the two Worldbinding cultivators. Theres more. All in the same direction, and very faint- so I presume back at their system, Anton declared.
Stupid, Everheart said. Should have brought it all.
If it was really devoted followers and ships? I absolutely agree. They should have some reason not to but Anton shrugged.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
Anyway, Everheart said. Im impressed kid. You took out two people higher than yourself in cultivation.
Only because they chose the wrong direction.
Did they, though? Everheart asked. Their ships thrive in sunlight. And I bet theres more to it.
Not really, Anton shrugged, I just followed them until I was strong enough to do something.
In other words, you tricked them into entering your domain, Everheart clapped, Im proud of you, kid.
Anton looked at his hands. Yep, still wrinkled and he was referred to as a kid twice in a single minute. Everheart was old enough to make that sort of statement, though. I suppose I should accept your praise. It was much closer than it appeared, though.
Everheart snickered. You should know that it doesnt matter who will win as long as someone knows otherwise. Once you convince everyone youve won, you have.
I dont think its quite that simple but I cant fully disagree either. Anton shrugged, Regardless, I would like to ask you something. Can you sense what theyre attuned to?
Hmmm Everheart furrowed his brow in concentration, not saying anything for a good five or ten minutes. The older ones connected to the ships, and the younger to a few remaining people, right? Yeah, I think I got it.

When the last handful of phoenixes fell from the sky, Erin watched as Paradise swam at an alarming speed towards them. He gulped the first one out of the air, and caught the next two near the surface of the water. Then Paradise dove after the last three, Erin taking direct control over the formations that kept the sect and everything else from being torn away as he dove under. For an island sized turtle, Paradise was quite agile, snaking his neck around to snatch the last few in his jaws. Then he returned to the surface, twisted his neck around until his head was over the island, and slowly opened his jaws.
Six waterlogged phoenixes plopped into a pile, and Erin assumed there was a purpose. If they just didnt taste good, Paradise could have just spit them out into the ocean. What do you want us to do with these? Theyd be good materials, I guess. A wave of disapproval. Not that, huh then what?
Paradises energy twisted as the collars on the phoenixes snapped, then were crushed into a single ball of scrap.
Ah. You mean to free them? No you want to take care of them? Definite approval. Alright so what does a phoenix eat? Erin frowned, wondering what they might have. I guess the answer will have to be fish.

Aside from Ceretos, which had more than its fair share of Assimilation cultivators- and apparently a particular void ant queen- nobody could claim overwhelming victories. Solid? Absolutely. Only Weos had any enemies able to retreat- but Rutera took too many losses for it to be comfortable. There was a critical question of whether or not the Sylanis Cluster could manage another attack. One Worldbinding cultivator dead and two captured was a not insignificant blow but if they could bring the other ninety-seven, or even twenty of them working together to dominate each system one at a time then, there would be serious issues.
Though with Everheart present, perhaps Ceretos would survive. Even if the man thought things were dire and chose to flee instead of participating directly, the continental formations would be sufficient to balance the tide. But that was assuming no more than twenty Worldbinding cultivators, and all somewhat weakened. Given what they had seen, nobody was willing to swear they didnt have the capability to send more. Except-
Heres a list of all the Worldbinding cultivators, Scholar Eulogius said without prompting at a meeting of Ruteras top brass. Okay bye~!
Anton had felt him coming, of course, but he thought the man would at least stay for any amount of time at all. He was the one to catch the almost carelessly flung booklet, and he took it with him to his position next to General Nicodemo. Its more than just a list, Anton said upon opening it. Names, locations, affiliation, presumed cultivation level binding method. Its almost like someone put this together with the intention of military action Anton could tell it wasnt Everhearts interpretation of information- not once did it call anyone dumbasses or otherwise insult them.
Why do you think that? asked President Aneirin Park.
Any number of things. Including that I feel like the Sylanis Cluster might be ready to go to war with itself.
Really? Do you think we can make that happen?
Before just now? Anton shrugged. We had barely enough information to even guess at the internal politics. Now we have shot. Anton felt momentarily bad for not caring if Everheart had avoided melting his captives brains to get this information. He wouldnt mind killing them, but some things were unnecessary. All of this, though Anton hoped Everheart had kept his word, but he really couldnt complain much if this was the result because he didnt.
If we have a chance what do we do?
We read through all of this and come up with a strategy that our alliance can actually implement, Anton said. He had read through it all in a few moments- it was more than a few pages, but it was just information. After studying Everhearts learning techniques, that was simple. Applying this information would take some teamwork but Anton was slightly distracted by Scholar Eulogius standing outside waving what Anton could sense was a very shiny scroll in a manner that was confident Anton was still watching him. Was that was that a Worldbinding method? Actual concrete instructions for breaking through or perhaps how to advance upon reaching Worldbinding? Anton had to know.
No wonder Everheart was obsessed. How could anyone just leave the secrets of the universe unlearned once they realized how far they went? Anton just hoped that the Sylanis Clusters methods didnt involve sacrificing babies, but he wasnt really confident that it would be much more pleasant than that. Though theoretically they had at least two options.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
