Chapter 1726: Kreel
It’s true, the Gon race was strong. They had influence, and they had proven themselves on the universal stage. That did not change the fact that these Gon that Lex had met were slaves.
They were Heaven Immortals to boot, so the memory restrictions on them were too much for Lex to break through in a short while. Of course, if given enough time, he could do it - probably. But regardless of whether he could do it later or not, it didn’t change the fact that in the middle of a battle, what Lex could do was limited.
He’d barely read any critical memories from Jeziah, though he wasn’t too disappointed by that. Through his memories, he’d learned that Jeziah was a slave, but didn’t know details of the slave owner.
For some reason, Lex had assumed that the owner was also from the Gon race - likely because in Jeziah’s earlier memories he had been taken as a slave by one of his own race. That didn’t change the fact that there was a possibility that there was something else going on.
Lex absorbed all the energy from the suicide blast within himself forcefully, clearing up the white light and revealing the aftermath. The valley was gone, and so were many of the surrounding mountains.
In their place, instead, was a massive, bottomless pit filled with darkness. In fact, Lex could feel that Abaddon had leaned into the consequences of the blast, purposefully making the hole deeper and darker than it needed to be, and linking it to some new kind of abomination.
As interesting as that was, Lex instead was looking elsewhere. In the sky, right above where the fight had originally been taking place, stood some other race in a floating chariot.
Lex didn’t know how he hadn’t seen or sensed him before, but it was obvious to him now that this being had been here all along. In fact, since Lex’s comprehension of laws had drastically improved while in this state, he could read the karmic lines between this being and the Gon.
It was obvious at a glance that they had all been slaves to it. He had been controlling them from up above, his intentions unknown. The only thing that Lex could see or tell about it, besides that it controlled the Gon, was that he seemed to be gravely wounded.
"You can see me," said the being, which had a thin, long humanoid build. Its skin was deep green, though the armor he wore was deep blue with traces of purples. Its hair, too, was deep blue, matching the armor.
