Realm of Myths and Legends

quired in a grave tone.

She secretly hoped that Izroth was just fooling around and speaking nonsense.
At least, that would be better than the news he just delivered.

But, against her hopes, Izroth gave a small nod in response.

The words he said to the celestials were simple, “The east pillar is here.”

“I can’t tell you exactly how I knew who it was, but—my eyes did not deceive me.
That, I can assure you.” Izroth clarified calmly.

Although the celestials were taken aback by his statement, Izroth could still sense an underlying layer of doubt.

For one, Izroth should have never met nor seen the Pillar of the East or any of the pillars for that matter.

Secondly, even if there was another pillar present, wasn’t the timing of his discovery a bit too convenient to ignore?

If not for the fact that Astratis personally vouched for Izroth and the previous display of his detection ability that was well above Tox’s, the celestials would have thought Izroth was a spy sent to disrupt their plans at a critical point.

Of course, the biggest reason behind helping to clear up their doubts was the ring on Izroth’s finger.

The Breath of Gaea would not have fallen into the hands of someone who sided with the pillars.

Kyamakri released a heavy sigh as she shook her head and said, “This makes no sense.
The pillars have never acted together since the First Overturn many cycles ago.
Even if their territory is under direct threat, the last person they’ll turn to is another pillar.
That is unless something unprecedented occurred without our knowledge.”

“Indeed, this is well outside their ordinary behavior,” Diparxi commented.

Suddenly, Methysria narrowed her eyes as she glanced to her right.

“It seems we’ll have to put this conversation on hold.
We have some guests arriving.” Methysria said in a calm yet solemn manner.

Not long after those words left her mouth, the earth trembled as a great scene unfolded.

The ancient races kneeled down simultaneously as their killing intent immediately vanished without a trace.

In the presence of these individuals, they did not dare carry the slightest hint of killing intent.

The following moment, an oppressive aura descended upon the entire battlefield.
It was so heavy that simply standing had become a challenging task.
In addition, the Ethos in the atmosphere became thick, making it difficult to breathe naturally.

As this phenomenon unfolded, the massive palace doors in the distance opened as two figures emerged.

With one step, they instantly disappeared and, in the blink of an eye, stood in the sky above the battlefield.

‘Oh? I thought it’d take a little more effort, but… It turns out I pulled an even bigger fish.
It’s no wonder they didn’t act against us immediately despite their bloodlust.’

“Struggling against a group of insects? Pathetic.
What’s the point of keeping you alive if you can’t perform a task as simple as removing trash?” One of the two individuals said with a deep and indifferent voice.

The one who spoke was a man with straight white hair that stopped halfway down his back.
He had a pair of piercing light silver eyes and donned attire fit for a ruler. 

Though the most frightening thing about this person was that the pressure he emitted was not in any way inferior to the Son of Thunder.

This man was the Pillar of the West, who was also called Heaven’s Strength, Ourami!

“You can deal with their failure at a later time.
I’m more curious as to why some brat who can’t even properly circulate his Ethos is in possession of the ring that belongs to that cursed woman.
Also… What gives him the courage to act so brazenly?” The one next to Ourami commented. 

There was only one individual in the eyes of the ancient races worthy enough to stand next to their master.
That was, of course, the Pillar of the East, Heaven’s Son, Yia.

The Pillar of the East had short black hair and wore a large white coat that hid his body.
His eyes were constantly closed, so it was impossible to peer into them.
And, just like Ourami, this individual was no weaker than Astratis or his two brothers.

“Is there a need for such curiosity? Should we question every ant that wanders onto our path? The solution is simple—we just have to step on it.” Ourami said as he looked down from above on Izroth and the other of celestials.

In his eyes, they were no different from a passing group of ants!
