Chapter 1524 Two Incidents To Downfall

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 9:52

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital

As all four of Adaʼs body approached her targets preparing to do their respective tasks simultaneously, something unexpected transpired out of Adaʼs calculations. 

Just when she was about to close on Southern Emperorʼs origin card she felt a presence behind her and before she could react it grabbed her by the back of the neck and snapped it effortlessly. Killing Ada instantaneously. Then the presence stored her corpse and the SSS-rank curse in her hand then vanished into the thin air.

Feeling one of them who was supposed to curse the Southern Emperorʼs origin card had died, the other three bodies of Ada who were approaching their targets, two demigods from Morningstar University and Wyatt, paused in their tracks and immediately turned to look toward the Southern Emperorʼs origin card but they were too late. 

The presence that killed one of them was long gone. This came as a huge shock to each of them because the body of Ada that died was under the effect of their Origin Card ʼMobius Presenceʼ before being attacked. This could only mean that the presence that killed one of Adaʼs bodies could see them even when they were under the effect of their origin card ʼMobius Presence.ʼ 𝒏𝓞𝑽𝐞𝗅𝚞𝔰𝔟.𝚌𝗈𝑚

While they were confused and trying to piece together what just happened the three of them felt a warm breath on the back of their neck, then they suddenly heard the demigods they were supposed to ambush and kill yelling.

”Hey, who are you guys? How are you able to tap into the secondary time flow?” 

”Just Die.” 

”No!!!” 

Listening to their words it was apparent that the demigods who could not sense their presence a second ago now could see them. The trio were dumb stricken wondering, ʼHow can they see them when they were under the effect of their origin card ʼMobius Presenceʼ?ʼ 

Before they could find the answers their heads were rolling and they died. While one demigod of Morningstar University questioned the three bodies of Ada, the other demigod just decapitated all three of them, skipping the drama. As for the two demigods from the central government, they could only desperately watch as Adaʼs three bodies were slaughtered. 

The demigod who killed the three unknown card lords wearing a similar devil skull mask looked at the two demigods from the central government suspiciously having heard them yelling no as he killed three card lords and questioned them, ”Do you perhaps know those three card lords? Should I have spared their lives?” 

”Yes, we could investigate who they were and how they got so close to us without any of us discovering them. I think there is a third faction eyeing Dalton Wyatt,” one of the two demigods from the central government made up a story on the spot to cover their asses. 

”I see, donʼt worry I think I know which faction they belong to,” listening to the demigod from Morningstar University say this the demigods from the central government panicked and nervously asked, ”Which faction do they belong to?”

”Isnʼt it pretty obvious? Judging by the demon skull mask worn by the three card lords and the fact that they could tap into secondary time flow, l guess that they are devil worshippers who belong to the Mohawk devilʼs cult. 

I guess the devil might have asked them to capture Wyatt masking their presence. Fortunately for us, something went wrong midway otherwise the devil would have pulled a fast one on us.

At first, I thought they belonged to you guys after all you guys were responsible for devil summoning but seeing how the Mohawk devil is rebelling and has killed three of your demigods so far, not to forget the SSS-rank corpse puppet at the start. Now I think you guys got played by the mohawk devil and his cult big time.

This is why I guessed the third faction here is the cult of the mohawk devil,” the demigod from Morningstar University proudly explained its speculation in front of the demigods of the central government without the slightest clue that they were the real culprits who sighed in relief learning that the bookworms were not expecting them. 

However, the two demigods of the central government wondered what went wrong. Why did the presence of Adaʼs three bodies suddenly reveal to them and with all of Adaʼs bodies in the Southern capital dead what now? No matter how hard and desperately they thought of the events that occurred or tried to come up with a new plan, nothing crossed their mind. 

The original body of Ada in the central governmentʼs secret base near the Southern Capital was shocked by the fact that her perfect plan to cripple the Southern emperor while completing the central governmentʼs mission had fallen apart and failed in just a few seconds. 

She was almost driven mad by trying to figure out what transpired. She wanted to know what went wrong as she had no idea as to why her perfect plan failed. She replayed all the events that occurred in the Southern Capital in sequence repeatedly in her mind but still could not figure it out. 

There were two incidents that she could not figure out and stopped her from understanding why her perfect plan failed. The first incident was when the mysterious presence that killed one of her bodies that was planning to curse the Southern Emperorʼs origin card instantly and then the second incident was when the presence of other three bodies trying to ambush the two demigods from Morningstar University and kidnap Wyatt suddenly had their presence revealed to everyone despite being under the effect of her origin card ʼMobius Presence.ʼ

Ada had a strong feeling that the mysterious presence from the first incident was somehow responsible for the second incident too. Just when she was wrecking her brains about who the mysterious presence was, Ada sensed Arnasʼs presence entering her room and then heard her say, ”Regardless of the success of the two missions, our master will be disappointed in our performance so mentally prepare yourself for the consequences of disappointing our master. ” 

Listening to Arnasʼs advice, Adaʼs body unconsciously began to quiver. Seeing this, Arnas shook her head and left quietly.
