Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1564  Tense Situation!

The moment Mira spoke about returning the Sword Sovereignʼs blade to the Sword God Palace, the surroundings fell into complete silence. Every gaze turned toward Max and Mira, the tension between them instantly becoming the center of attention.

It was true that the Sword Sovereignʼs sword had once belonged to the Sword God Palace. However, it was also a well known fact across the Divine Realm that the Sword Sovereign himself had personally left that very sword within the Black Dragon Palace long ago.

At the time, this event had drawn considerable attention and even brought a measure of fame to the Black Dragon Palace. The idea that such a legendary weapon had been entrusted to them by the Sword Sovereign was something no one could ignore.

From that time until only a few months ago, the Sword God Palace had countless opportunities to reclaim the sword if they truly wished to. Yet they had never acted on it. Now, the moment someone from the Black Dragon Clan had successfully taken the sword, they were suddenly demanding its return.

Max understood the situation clearly.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at Mira. ”Let me ask you something first,” he said calmly. ”If the Sword God Palace truly wanted the Sword Sovereignʼs sword back, why did you never send anyone to the Black Dragon Palace to retrieve it all this time?”

Miraʼs expression immediately turned cold. ”Who are you to question the Sword God Palace?” she replied, her voice sharp and filled with authority.

Max gave a casual shrug. ”I may be no one, but since you are asking for my sword, I believe I have the right to ask a question. So, what is the answer?”

At that moment, Luciaʼs voice reached him through a quiet transmission. ”Max, the Sword God Palace did send geniuses to retrieve the sword. However, they all failed. The Sword Sovereign had set a condition that only those at or below the peak of the Law Manifestation Realm could attempt to take the sword, and although the Sword God Palace sent many talented individuals, none of them succeeded.”

Maxʼs smile widened slightly as he processed her words.

”So you did send people after all,” he said, letting out a soft laugh as he looked at Mira. ”But every single one of them failed. The sword remained safely within the Black Dragon Palace all this time. Now that I have taken it, you suddenly want to reclaim it from me?”

His gaze sharpened as he looked down at her.

”Is this how the Sword God Palace conducts itself?” he asked, his tone calm but carrying a clear edge. ”Is this what you call dignity?”

”Will you return the sword or not?” Mira asked, her voice cold and unwavering as she ignored everything Max had said. To her, there was only one matter that held any importance.

Max smiled faintly and shook his head. ”Return it? The sword belongs to me now. There is nothing to return.”

A chill appeared in Miraʼs expression as she drew out her own sword, the blade gleaming with a sharp and dangerous light. ”Then I will simply take it from your corpse,” she said without the slightest hesitation.

Her words instantly tightened the atmosphere.

A heavy tension spread through the group as everyone realized that the situation had escalated far beyond a simple exchange of words. Even Max frowned slightly, as he had not expected her to take such a direct and lethal stance.

Luciaʼs expression turned serious as she subtly prepared herself to step in if needed, while Isabella stood tense, hoping that things would not spiral into an all out conflict.

The members of the War God Palace and the Ascension Hall were equally taken aback. None of them had expected Mira to resort to killing for the sake of the sword.

”Big sister, this is bad,” Luna said with a deep frown as she looked toward Tamara. ”Miraʼs true strength was at same level as me at the 3rd level of Law Manifestation Realm and even though her strength is now suppressed at the peak of Law Refinement Realm, Max stood no chance against her. Big Sis, we should help Max.”

Tamara shook her head calmly. ”We cannot interfere. This is a matter between the Sword God Palace and the Black Dragon Clan. And knowing Mira, she would not welcome any intervention from us.”

Lunaʼs expression tightened further. She wanted to help, but with her sisterʼs stance so clear, she could only remain where she was, silently hoping that Max would find a way through this.

However, not everyone shared the same perspective.

From the group of the Ascension Hall, a young man stepped forward.

Although his status did not match that of Mira or Tamara, his presence carried comparable strength. He was one of the peak Law Manifestation Realm geniuses who had come with the Ascension Hall to investigate the crack in the void at Orion. His name was Ash.

A faint, somewhat helpless thought crossed his mind. If he had known that coming here would lead to such a situation, he might have chosen to remain at the headquarters instead.

With a relaxed smile, he walked between Max and Mira before turning toward her.

”Miss Mira,” he said in a calm and measured tone, ”I understand why you are so determined to reclaim the sword, but this is neither the place nor the time for such a conflict.”

He paused briefly before continuing. ”We are currently surrounded by countless devils locked in a war against the primordials. We do not even understand how we arrived here. In a situation like this, it would be wiser for us to cooperate if we wish to find a way out.”

”I do not believe that killing someone at the third level of the Law Awakening Realm would cause any real disturbance,” Mira said calmly, her tone completely indifferent. ”And you need not worry. I will finish this quickly so that the devils will not even notice.”

With those words, she began walking toward Max, each step steady and unhurried, yet carrying an undeniable pressure.

Ash let out a quiet sigh as he watched the situation unfold. He understood very well what would happen if he tried to intervene. The moment he stepped in to block Mira, the members of the Sword God Palace would respond without hesitation, and that would drag the Ascension Hall into direct conflict with them. If that happened, the situation would spiral far beyond control.

After weighing the consequences, he chose to step back.

His gaze lingered on Max for a brief moment, a hint of pity flickering in his eyes before he withdrew, leaving the two to face each other alone.
