Chapter 1083
By the time the Scarlet Alliance approved a letter from Everheart to Anton, he had gone through several iterations of what he wanted to send. His ultimate goal was to encourage the man to continue to focus on mutual enemies, as well as to encourage the few positive traits the man had.
Everheart had put a large amount of effort into creating tombs meant to raise the generation just before the invasion, knowing what would happen. Even if he’d done it to spite the upper realms, he still took care not to unnecessarily kill too many people in his tombs.
He already knew about the connection to the Scarlet Alliance- he’d been back to Ceretos, after all. So Anton focused on the most recent information to come in. Specifically, the information on Sudin.
“I find it interesting how Sudin used various forms of attention, including devotion, to empower himself and the soul drawing chambers the Twin Soul Sect made use of. I find that contrasts with the information I know regarding other Domination cultivators.”
Sharing information about Shelach with the lower realms had been a careful process. The process had taken several years to carefully transport the original scroll for those who needed to be aware of the details- primarily Enrichment cultivators. Even if they were confident in the security of their transmissions, they thought it better to not risk potential dangers.
It was a curious question, how a man like Shelach might have formed an anchor. If nobody knew about him or the anchor, where would he get devotion? If perhaps he cultivated spite or similar negative emotions like Everheart seemed to, it would still require being known. And fear… while the fear of a small number of individuals might be powerful, would that really be enough?
Perhaps it might be. Especially if he kept himself secret. Fear of the unknown was often worse than fear of the known. In such a case, spreading the information could either empower Shelach… or weaken him. But knowing whether or not he was going to be a problem for them was important first.
Either way, Anton wasn’t afraid. An assassin from the upper realms meant very little to him. He didn’t believe he would be killed, nor was he afraid of death if it did come for him. But they would have to be careful about others. Whether they tried to find out more or not would be the prerogative of the Scarlet Alliance, since they were the ones actually at risk. Though hopefully, their formations would be prepared to pick up sneaking Domination cultivators.
Anton’s letter continued, touching mainly on topics of power. “It is unfortunate that I couldn’t witness Koronis’ advancement firsthand. Bonding with a nebula is quite adjacent to my own style. I hear that you have been quite interested in stars lately as well. You’d better take good care of them. You never know when one you mistreat might develop a consciousness and try to hunt you down.”
