Eternal Thief

Ace’s mind raced as a chill ran down his spine because the more he thought like this, the more dreadful he felt about the feather. Not only this fellow seemed a deep schemer, but it also wanted to get rid of him by using his own pet.

‘So, in the end, it was not easy at all but merely an illusion. If it was not Cyrus and someone else, I’m afraid I might’ve been already dead or suffer an even worse fate…’ Ace coldly looked at the feather, and then Cyrus and gentleness appeared in his eyes.

“I’m afraid he wants to trick us both and capture you. You did well by telling me all this, or we might’ve been in some trouble and keep doing it in the future. As a reward, I’ll let you eat the spirit fire we captured on that day.” Ace rewarded the little guy, who became instantly happy the moment he heard his words.

Ace wasn’t stingy with his people, especially Cyrus, who has helped him tremendously in this venture and even revealed a life-threatening plot. So, he wanted to establish a clear system of punishment and reward in Cyrus’s mind. .

This will make him even more eager to do something reward-worthy and refrain from doing something foolish. Nevertheless, Ace never considers Cyrus as his slave but treats him as a child and companion.

After making Cyrus happy, his focus turned back to the feather, and his lips curled into a cold smile, ‘I might’ve never been able to outpower this feather without Cyrus, and that might also be the reason it tried another approach. But in the end, letting Cyrus consumes it is still the right decision!’

At this point, the feather had already pulled a dark green flame and a green color core out of the golden swirl, and without hesitation, Ace took out the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern and used it to capture the Spirit Fire while also pick-pocketed the beast core!

Furthermore, Ace also gives out a command to the system, “System, activate the second option and send me out of the Sun Secret Realm from the exit, which is not connected with the Union!”

=====

[Host has chosen the Second Option to collect it and the Yang Orb while destroying the Sun Secret Realm!]

-Price: 10 Million Thief Points have been deducted!

[Time: 00:00:59]

—

[Thief Point(s): 72,789,350]

—

[Host will be sent out of the Sun Secret Realm according to host’s command after the time is over!]

=====

The very next moment, Ace gave out another command, “Cyrus, eat!”

It all happened so fast that the feather still seemed to be observing the lantern absorbing the dark green flames when the blue nether fire around it suddenly lit up and started to envelop it.

Not only that but out of nowhere, the realm space core and the yang orb in the center were suddenly enshrouded by an inky dark blue mist that appeared out of thin air, and the light and temperature within the hall vanished!

“Wait… what?!” A bewildered scream suddenly rang, which belonged to the golden feather which was now burning in blue flame, “What have you done?! What have you foolish mortals done!?!!!!”

The high pitch screams started to become hysteric and boomed within the entire hall, but despite their intensity, the feather won’t be able to escape Cyrus’s clutches, and the feather was already more than half enveloped by his flames!

Ace sneered coldly, and without any intention to indulge the scheming feather further, he retrieved the lantern, which had already got another spirit fire in it and was now lit in two colors of light. It has a strange aura emitting from it after it consumed two spirit flames.

He decided to investigate it after he exited this darn place. Right now, his focus was on the dark blue mist, which now enshrouded both the core and the orb!

As for the golden feather, it was as good as gone in his eyes now, and his screams and hysteric roars were fully ignored by Ace.

But at this moment, the feather seemed to finally understand that its fate was sealed, and Ace didn’t seem to be too keen on keeping it around despite knowing its benefits. Truth be told, I never expected someone would discard a treasure like it so easily and let his pet consume it!

The next moment, it suddenly broke into a fit of hysteric laughter when only a small portion of it was left before Cyrus’s flame would fully consume it.

“Hihihihihi… I never thought I would live to see the day when someone will dare to try breaking the seal. Mortal, O’ foolish, wretched mortal!

“Thou hast no idea what is forthcoming! The heavens shall not endure thine insolence and suffer thee to roam wantonly within its dominion any longer. The wrath of heaven shall obliterate thee, and thy endeavor shall prove futile, for the seals are naught that an ant may dare to approach, let alone destroy!”

Ace suddenly looked toward the feather because the last phase it uttered was not the voice it was speaking in or the language used in the Union.

But that language was completely different, and the voice was ethereal and extremely surreal. But alas, now Cyrus’s flames had fully consumed the feather, and they were going back into the little guy’s small beak as his expression was full of bliss and relish.

“That voice…” Ace contemplated before he shook his head and sneered, “Thou likewise hast no inkling that I am already the Eternal Enemy of Heaven!”

Done saying he stopped paying attention to the feather as he knew better than anyone what he was capable of or what the system was capable of it. Since the system said no one could peer or make a move in this place as long as they are not from this heaven, he cares little who threatens him.

At this moment, the dark blue mist suddenly churned before it started to separate into two halves, and the next moment, the entire Secret Sun Realm started to shake like a boat in a raging storm!
