Eternal Thief

Chapter 750 You Finally Found Me Good Food!

Ace standing under the three powerful intents, questioned the system, ”System, I want your help in this situation, or I wonʼt be able to get passed this layer, nor do I want to use my trump card at this point since there is a chance I will be found. So, just tell me if Cyrus is the Ruler of Fire, and can he appear in this place without tripping something off?” 

Right at this point, Aceʼs plan was quite simple, to bring out Cyrus and see if the little guy could help him with this situation or not. If Cyrus was really a Ruler of Fire, then he needed to be sure that nothing happened when he took him out. 

This was an active trial, and he had no idea if that voice was alive or not, but with his experience in the Union, he was pretty sure it had to be alive. 

He was hoping to take out Cyrus by using a grade-7 concealing talisman he found in the Grim Ancestor, and that talisman was also a limit talisman on top of that. But he needed to be sure that voice wonʼt detect it, and heʼll use Cyrus to trick the voice into thinking that he was the one who completed it. 

But for all of this to happen, he needed the systemʼs assurance as well as Cyrus to understand those three intents. 

System voice rang at this moment, ”[Not everyone who is born with an innate spirit fire is a Ruler of Fire, and there is only one Ruler of Fire in existence. So, the Nether Paradise Bird is not the true Ruler of Fire but one of its direct descends. But for what Host wants it to do, it would be quite easy to achieve.]”

”[Furthermore, it is bonded to the Host with Master and Servant Pack, which makes it lose its individual identity, and it only belonged to you. Thatʼs why the Nether Paradise Bird will appear like a sentient treasure which belonged to Host under any sort of formation and probating not as an individual entity.]”

Aceʼs eyes shone with elation when he got the system confirmation, but he also frowned slightly at the end, ”This sound so wrong…” 

The system didnʼt bother to reply anymore, which made Ace grunt in dissatisfaction. Nonetheless, he didnʼt have time to correct the systemʼs manner of speech as he knew it would be meaningless.

The next moment, Cyrus, who was like a free spirit sleeping in his small nest within the house in the thiefʼs space, was summoned by Ace again. The little guy was quite happy after Livia was stowed into Evaʼs storage ring for the time being because of Freyaʼs presence which meant he didnʼt have to study anymore. 

Nevertheless, when it came to having fun, Cyrus was always ready, and whenever Ace summoned him out, he would be very curious and active. This time wasnʼt any different. 

The little bird chirped happily but suddenly stopped as its tiny eyes were locked on the three suns, and without Ace even explaining anything to him, he cried with ecstasy. 

”Big Bro, you finally found me good food!” 

Ace was astonished by this response, ”You mean those three suns? You can eat them? And what do you mean by finding you good food? I donʼt even know what you can eat. The entire space is filled with many things. If you have told you had told me you could do you think I wonʼt let you?” 

Ace annoyingly transmitted his voice to the little frivolous bird. He was telling the truth when he said he had no idea Cyrus could eat because since his birth, he hadnʼt eaten anything except the eggshells which he hatched from, nor has he ever told Ace that he wants something peculiar to eat. 

Cyrus didnʼt seem to care about Aceʼs feelings as his eyes were affixed on those three suns, and he friskily transmitted its voice, ”Can I eat them now? That flower is making me hungry even more!” 

Although he was eager, he wonʼt do anything without getting Aceʼs permission first. 

Ace was again stumped, ”What flower?” 

”The flower in front of us with burning petals! Can I eat it now, please!” Cyrus was now cutely pleading as if he couldnʼt wait any longer. 

Ace frowned as he clearly couldnʼt see any flower in front of him, but then Cyrus was nothing but simple, and what his eyes could see that Aceʼs wonʼt. 

”Alright, but be careful.” Ace then gave his confirmation since the voice hadnʼt reacted in any way, it confirmed that the system was right. 

Furthermore, he wanted to see what would happen if Cyrus really ate those three suns, which were, according to Cyrus, just the petals of a flower! 

The moment those words left Aceʼs mouth, Cyrus suddenly jumped off Aceʼs shoulder and, like an arrow, shot toward the three suns. 

Cyrus then suddenly levitated in front of the three suns and opened its small beak and shot out a small sky-blue flame which was his connate Nether Spirit Fire. 

But to Aceʼs surprise, Cyrus didnʼt aim at any of the three suns. Instead, he aimed at them. 

Then something magical happened under Aceʼs flabbergasted eyes; the entire space where he was standing suddenly shook crazily. 

”Crack… Rumbled….” 

The three burning suns, which appeared majestic and holy, suddenly started to crack, and the next moment, including those suns, all the space around Ace blasted apart with a massive rumble. 

Ace then found himself standing in a bright white hall and a glass doom which was now fully cracked around him. 

But his eyes were instantly drawn by a flower with three heart-shaped petals. The petals of that flower were literally burning in the same color as those suns, and the flower disk was fully golden and emitting a terrifying heat while the stem was also golden. 

The size of that flower was 1.5 meters. However, a small sky-blue flame was burning in the middle of the flower disk, which made the flower tremble uncontrollably. 

Under Aceʼs baffled eyes, the sky-blue flame started to grow and the majestic flower visible starting to dim down, and those flames on its petals were also decreasing. 

Within a few seconds, all the flames and glow on the flower had vanished without a trace, and that small sky-blue flame was now somewhat deeper and a centimeter larger.

When all the flames vanished from the flower, it started to turn into a fine ash, and the small sky-blue flame shot back into Cyrusʼs beak. 

Thereupon, Cyrus, with blissful eyes, muttered, ”How scrumptious!”
