Chapter 954 Decision (3)
News of the Flos's and Obstruction's death continued to spread in the Lower Realm, alerting every Sovereign. Whether these Sovereigns were part of a big faction that would participate in the War of the Sovereigns or not, they all eyed the planes that belonged to the former two.
However, Flos and Obstruction's faction would not allow other Sovereigns to claim their planes. Thus, they dispatched their members and had them claim those planes as soon as possible.
After the hampered mission in Somuli, Sovereign of Chains and the others with him contacted the others and planned their next move. Ultimately, they decided to prioritize the claiming of Flos and Obstruction's planes.
A plane that belonged to Obstruction was fairly close to Somuli. This plane was called Atim and was rich in rare stones that were used for crafting magic weapons. Because of this, many Sovereigns coveted this plane. Upon hearing of Obstruction's death, they immediately went to that plane, wanting to claim it for themselves.
Flos and Obstruction's faction expected a grueling battle to unfold in that plane. Thus, they decided to let Chains go there.
Three days later, Chains arrived near Atim's premises. Contrary to their expectations, however, there was no battle happening outside the plane.
Chains frowned upon realizing this. There were only two reasons for this. One, because he was pretty close to Atim, he arrived before any of the other Sovereigns. Two, the plane had already been claimed by another.
Fearing the latter possibility, Chains decided to enter the plane and see for himself. However, he soon realized something was amiss.
From afar, it was not obvious. But as he neared, he noticed a faint dark purple glow surrounding the plane.
"You should stop before you get too close."
A voice reverberated in the surroundings, forcing Chains to stop in his tracks. He looked around and found a silhouette emerging from a distortion a few meters to his left.
The silhouette took form, revealing a man with long braided bluish hair in silver armor. His face was half hidden in a silver mask that resembled a head of a falcon.
Chains's eyes narrowed as he saw the man. The man before him was unfamiliar, but he knew about a group that possessed powerful retainers in silver armor and falcon masks— The Coven.
"What is the Coven doing here?"
The Coven did not meddle in planes that belonged to a Sovereign participating in the War. Why would they send one to Atim after it lost its Sovereign?
Although Chains did not elaborate on his question, the man seemed to have understood it and replied, "We have come to check what would become of a plane if its owner was killed before its time."
"Sovereign of Chains failed to claim the Atim plane. Apparently, the plane cannot be claimed by others because of some sort of barrier surrounding it."
After saying his piece, the man left as well.
Similar messages came from other members of the Guardians, and Axil received them all. After learning what the barrier looked like, she could not help but frown in both amazement and confusion.
"Does this mean all those planes are now protected by Kyran?" she wondered aloud.
Besides Axil, Loar also had a strange look. He could still remember the first time he met Kyran, and even after meeting him again and knowing how much he had improved in his overall strength, it never occurred to him that a day would come when he, Kyran, would become a protector of some sort of those planes that belonged to Sovereigns he killed.
"Is that even possible?" Loar asked. "When he killed Flos and Obstruction, he could not have connected with all their planes, right? How could he use his magic and protect them? Not to mention, how could he protect all those planes without draining himself?"
"I know," Axil agreed. "But the color of that barrier-like surrounding those planes, as well as what it does to anyone or anything that comes close to it, is similar to the Void's nature."
She looked at Loar meaningfully and added, "You should know this better since you have witnessed what he can do personally."
Loar did not refute. He did witness Kyran use his magic whenever they were out on a mission together. Still, he could not fully understand the logic behind it.
Seeing Loar's unconvinced expression, Axil heaved a sigh and shook her head, "Let us not dwell on it for now. Since we've gleaned this much information about those planes. At least one of our concerns has been averted."
"True," Loar agreed.
They had been worried about what would become of those planes if the other Sovereigns would fight each other to claim them.
As much as possible, they did not want unnecessary destruction to fall on the other planes, especially when their mission was to protect all planes from the upcoming War of the Sovereigns.
"Once Kyran finishes studying those tablets, we need to decide what to do with those planes. Right now, they are no longer part of any faction, but what does Kyran plan to do with them?"
"Will they become part of the Human plane?" Loar wondered.
"Kyran is not the Sovereign of the Human plane..." Axil started to remind him. But then her voice trailed off as she realized what this implied.
Loar seemed to have realized this as well, as they both looked at each other and saw the doubt reflected in their eyes.
Kyran is not a Sovereign.
