"How lively... hehe, not fair, you are all having fun without me."
Hearing the voice, everyone’s attention was drawn to the direction. Immediately, they saw a young lady wearing pale blue robes that danced playfully around her as she moved, the fabric catching the light with a hint of mischief.
Her silver hair tumbled in soft waves and seemed to contain a unique aura, framing a face that sparkled with a teasing smile. An air of playful energy surrounded her, accompanied by a subtle scent of blooming flowers, hinting at her whimsical nature.
As soon as she arrived at the battlefield, she turned to Kranos and flashed him a smile, as though she was extremely happy to see him.
Kranos raised a brow in confusion. She knows me? Although he was slightly puzzled, he didn’t ponder on it too much. He just watched silently as everything played out. If anything was unfavorable for him, he would quickly leave the place.
After all, with his movement technique, who could stop him? He also released his Prying Eyes to sense her aura and realized that she was similarly at the Dao Palace Realm. With that, he relaxed slightly.
"You," just then Aurora pointed at Kranos, "come with me and I will help you kill everyone."
The moment she spoke, everyone looked at her as though she was an idiot. She was just at the Dao Palace Realm. Did she not see the God Incarnate Realm assassins lying around? Not to talk of the leader who was at the God Realm.
They felt that she wasn’t like Kranos, who had a great secret, or Kathryn, who was an anomaly. How could she possibly be as strong as them?
Kathryn glanced at Aurora, and a strange light flashed through her eyes. She can’t possibly be from that place, right? She was slightly curious but knew now wasn’t the time to think about that.
"Why should I follow you?" Although Kranos felt that the whole situation was absurd, he still decided to give it a chance.
"Because Master asked me to come and get you" Aurora replied matter-of-factly. After that, she took something out from her interstellar space and waved it toward Kranos. "You will wear this while I take you to my Master."
Looking at the shackle in the girl’s hand, Kranos’s expression changed drastically. He hated being chained and powerless. There was no need to think about it. The moment she brought the chain out, Kranos had already made his decision.
"Not interested," he answered coldly, not bothering to hide his disdain.
"Heh... how can..." Just as Aurora sneered and was about to reply to Kranos, she felt a wave of fluctuations surrounding her. A few assassins with the summoning element had used their summoned beasts to attack.
Aurora frowned, then waved her hand. Instantly, a wave of ethereal fluctuation appeared midair. Then slowly, the beasts, which were mostly in the God Incarnate Realm, were destroyed and became... nothing.
Seeing this sight, everyone’s expression changed drastically. However, Kathryn had the greatest change. How can it be? That is the essence of... A name appeared in her mind, causing her to feel slight fear. Black Rain Pavilion.
Kathryn’s expression underwent great changes which no one noticed as she turned her attention to Kranos. What relationship does he have with the Black Rain Pavilion? She frowned at the thought. She couldn’t let Kranos head to the Black Rain Pavilion. If he did, all her plans would be for naught.
With that, she no longer hesitated. She raised her hand again, and her divine flame surged.
This time, the emerald divine flame turned black at the edges.
The moment she began attacking, everyone noticed. The blackish emerald flame began to spread outward to all corners, incinerating everything in its sight.
The purple-masked man frowned underneath his mask. In the blink of an eye, the flames had appeared in front of him. He didn’t hesitate and immediately waved his hand to dispel the flame. However, just as he used his mana, the flame seemed to have encountered fuel.
It blossomed and immediately spread toward his meridians. The same thing was happening all over the battlefield, to all the assassins.
Aurora also tried to use her essence to destroy the flames which were spreading but realized they were spreading slower than usual. "What kind of flame is this? No, I have to carry that girl as well and tell Master about her." She decided in her heart. Looking in the direction of Kathryn, her eyes lit up.
Just as she burned a portion of her soul to release the flame, Kathryn’s expression changed drastically. After that, she waved her hand and the starship appeared in front of her. Waving her hand once more, a space gap appeared behind Kranos and swallowed him.
A similar thing occurred to Kevin. Immediately, the two of them appeared inside the starship. Kathryn entered as well, and as soon as she did, she activated the starship, coordinating it to a unique Immortal World. She disappeared along with the others.
The whole place was a scene of devastation. After a long time, the only person that remained was Aurora. She stared at the location where Kathryn previously was and frowned.
"Disappeared, just like that? Now what do I tell Master? The first chance I’m given to catch a time cultivator has been wasted. I didn’t even get to see him use his time abilities"
She stamped her foot and then took off back in the direction of the Black Rain Pavilion. The moment she left, a shadow blurred from a nearby building and Desmond emerged.
Sighs. I was lucky once again. Who would have expected that she would even have a much more terrifying attack which could burn through mana? Now, where do I head to? I feel I need to improve my strength ahead of time.
Things are getting much more troublesome.
If I hadn’t become a unique being, I would have died so many times already.
It seems I also have Kathryn to thank for this.
As many thoughts passed through Desmond’s mind, he quickly left the scene.

What Kranos didn’t know was that another person, completely different from the Black Rain Pavilion, had also discovered his identity as a time cultivator.
