Chapter 952  Decision (1)

"How did you come up with that? Did the tablet mention anything that connected the two of them?"

Kyran shook his head, "I can\'t say for sure. As you said, the copies are missing something fundamental. That\'s why there are entries that did not make sense to me. The only reason I said they might be connected is that there was a part in one of the tablets that explained an item in the King\'s possession that was coveted by a lot of powerful individuals. There was also an entry that talked about this item. However, because the tablets are copies, there were entries that did not make sense."

"I told you so," Ames snorted at Kyran\'s lack of trust in his own great-grandmother. "Ancient runes are also magic runes. They are alive. Which is why, only when you can read them within the tablets can you fully understand their meanings."

Kyran did not refute Ames. Instead, he said, "I want to see the tablets and continue researching on this matter." But then he paused and heaved a sigh, "However, I can\'t do that now. There are things I have to do first."

Ames did not say anything. She more or less guessed what Kyran was referring to.

At the moment, the situation in Somuli might appear to have quieted down. But in truth, they were only granted a short respite. There were still the consequences of Kyran\'s action, particularly in killing Flos and Obstruction, that hung around them like an invisible blade.

Fortunately, Axil and her fellow faction members were on top of things, confirming the situation in all the planes under Flos and Destruction.

Ames suddenly thought of something as she said, "I kind of understand that you are worried about the inhabitants of those planes if other Sovereigns did come and wage war on each other just to win over the ownership of those planes. But don\'t you think this is also a good thing?"

Kyran\'s expression turned cold as he looked at Ames. He did not say anything, but his expression suggested that he understood what she meant and that he did not like where she was coming from.

Ames returned his cold look as she continued, "Don\'t give me that look. There is an ancient saying that says: You can\'t win them all.

"In this case, you wanted to stop the War of the Sovereigns, but in the current state of the Lower Realm, it would be impossible to do so. But if you let those Sovereigns wage war on one another, and those planes were caught in the middle of the fight, the number of planes in the Lower Realm would go down. When that happened—."

"Stop while I\'m still asking nicely," Kyran cut her midsentence. His tone was actually quite respectful, albeit a little curt. But the coldness emitted by his eyes was still present and seemed to have intensified by the second.

Ames\'s eyes flashed dangerously as she looked at him. If he had been any other cheeky brat, she would have already killed him already. But because he still sounded respectful, even when his spoken words implied anything but respectful, she chose to stay her hand.

The person in front of Ames was not just her great-grandson, Kyran Regis, after all. He was also the new Void Master and owner of the Shaiha. Not to mention, he could possibly be the person chosen to undertake The Inheritance. If she did something, she would have doomed the future of both realms.

Ames might be slow to understand and read the situation at times, but when it came to the matter of the two realms, she would never be careless.

In the end, Ames asked, "What do you intend to do then? Go to those planes and claim them? You should understand that you are a special case. You should know this by now since you can enter planes without being restricted by their Magic Laws or a Sovereign\'s Cradle if it is present. Because of this, you can\'t claim a plane for yourself..."

Ames\'s voice trailed off as her eyes widened. She looked at Kyran and asked, "You... don\'t tell me you plan to let the Sovereign of Bulwark claim those planes?"

"Why not?" Kyran replied with a shrug, not even refuting Ames\'s words.

"You... The Sovereign of Bulwark had only ascended. While his innate magic is good for defenses, there is no way for him to win over the other Sovereigns and claim ownership over Flos\'s and Destruction\'s planes."

"Claiming a plane did not mean one had to confront the others," Kyran replied. "What was important is for the plane to recognize him as its new Sovereign."

"How are you planning to do that if there are a lot of Sovereigns who will..." Ames\'s voice trailed off once more as she seemed to finally understand what Kyran intended to do.

"You..." she looked at him in disbelief. "You plan to fight off the Sovereigns yourself?"

Kyran did not confirm or deny Ames\'s words, making the latter sigh in exasperation.

Like Ames said, Kyran is a special case. To be more accurate, all Ancient magic users in the Lower Realm are a special case. They are not bound by the Magic Laws on the planes, and depending on the plane\'s nature, they may even hold an advantage over others. Instead, they lack mage level— this is due to them inheriting all accumulated experiences of their predecessors through their Ancient magic cores. But the thing is, Sovereigns are not people they can belittle just because their innate magic is inferior to Ancient magic.

Sovereigns have their own advantages, and that is their own accumulated experiences and how they are free to develop their innate magic in their own path. For this reason, an Ancient magic user who only relied on the accumulated experiences they inherited from their predecessors can not hold a complete advantage.

Of course, their innate magic is Ancient magic, and it can pose a threat to anyone. However, their lack of personal experience may become their downfall.

"You..." Ames heaved another sigh before continuing, "Don\'t think that you are possessing two Ancient magic can hold an absolute advantage over Sovereigns. Those people are still Sovereigns— mages who are at the top of the hierarchy in the Lower Realm. The Lower Realm\'s rules will be in their favor."

"Ancient magic users are not bound by the Lower Realm\'s rules."

"That is true, but—."

"Don\'t overthink it," Kyran interrupted Ames once more. He then said, "I did not say I would fight them myself because I can\'t." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Though it annoyed him, the fact that he could not create an essence to send to different locations at the same time hindered him from fighting Sovereigns that could pose a threat to his own life.

At least, if he could send an essence, he would not be worried about dying if his essence was killed off. Although he would suffer a repercussion when his essences were killed off, it was better than dying.

In any case, Kyran had other options to deal with the Sovereigns. But at the moment, he could not make full use of them. Not to mention, Ames was jumping too far ahead by overthinking what he would do. After all, they had yet to confirm if Flos\'s and Obstruction\'s planes were truly in a dire situation after losing their Sovereign.

"Right now, I am still considering my next steps. Besides," Kyran\'s expression turned solemn as he remembered Deus. "Your realm already knows about me. Or at least about the existence of the Shaiha. I have to prepare for that as well."

Ames fell silent. When her father allowed her to leave, she promised not to do anything in the Lower Realm. However, she had done things that could pose a threat to the Dragon Clan, especially when she decided to kill someone from the Higher Realm who was searching for Kyran.

As if sensing what Ames was thinking, Kyran added, "We also have to make sure the Dragon Clan is not implicated with my situation."

"The Emperor already suspects our involvement."

"There is no proof."

"The fact that you can turn yourself into a human-shaped dragon is a big giveaway."

"Not when I reveal I\'m an Ancient magic user."

Ames\'s eyes widened as she stared at him, "You! Don\'t you dare reveal anything about that!"

"It is fine."

"No, it is not."

"At most, they will know that the Ancient magic user has appeared once again in the Lower Realm. But before they can do anything to me, I\'ll divert their attention by showing up in another location as the Void Master."

Ames frowned, "You intend to let them think there is a new Dragon Lord and a Void Master?"
