Chapter 966: 966. Surprise
Noah's threat silenced the three cultivators from the Odrea nation. Still, they didn't feel angry about it. The sole fact that he had used his precious time to answer their questions made them appreciate their savior even more.
The truth was that they knew their place. They were just pawns caught in the middle of a game played by a god. They were the nameless casualties that any war had, and they could only blame their bad luck for that.
Joining the meeting with the forces of the Empire served the sole purpose of freeing their minds from the emotions that clouded their path. The other cultivators saved from the Odrea nation shared their feelings and wanted to see their envoys face the force that had kept them imprisoned for years.
Noah and the Demons stretched the separate dimension until they reached the area under the blue dome before contacting the forces of the Empire. After receiving their answer, they set up a door that led to one of the large fissures in those regions.
The world suspected that the Hive had a secret method to transport its troops. The other organizations couldn't explain the events in the Utra nation otherwise. Also, there had been many occasions where the timing of its reinforcements was off.
Nevertheless, suspecting something was different from being sure of it. The Hive could turn a deaf ear to any accusation since the other organizations didn't have any proof.
Resurfacing at the bottom of one of the fissures served that purpose too. Placing the exit under the blue dome would give unnecessary hints to the Empire.
Noah and the Demons dug their way toward the dome and sent another message to their contact. A tunnel appeared in the ground inside the light at that point, and six heroic cultivators appeared behind the protection radiating a divine aura.
They were three women and three men, and they gestured to the group from the Hive to step forward. The blue light didn't hinder their passage, and a new world unfolded once they crossed the borders of the dome.
Countless presences appeared in the range of their consciousness, and the noise caused by the cultivators training on the surface reached their ears even if they were underground.
The Demons and the trio from the Odrea nation marveled at the properties of the blue dome. That divine defensive method appeared to block any noise and aura from its insides other than preventing any consciousness from inspecting those areas.
Noah stopped once all those inputs reached his mind. He wasn't stunned by the sudden flow of information. Instead, the aptitudes of the six cultivators at the peak of the fourth rank that had welcomed them left him speechless.
The Demons didn't understand the reason behind his behavior at the beginning since they couldn't discern their aptitudes as fast as him. Noah wouldn't be able to do it either in standard cases. Still, that situation was anything but ordinary.
Noah could feel a sense of familiarity coming from three of them and a conflicting sensation from the others. It didn't take him even a second to realize that he was facing cultivators with light and darkness aptitude!
"Did you think you and Daniel Udye were the only ones in the world?" A familiar voice resounded in the underground tunnel, and Icy Stare's figure soon became visible to the group.
After fighting with her so many times, Noah didn't feel any danger coming from her. Icy Stare had been a worthy opponent when he was in the gaseous stage, but he had eventually outclassed her.
