Chapter 478: You.
"Neither of you are as clever as you think yourselves to be."
Theron spoke this singular line, not caring to say more. It was more like he wanted to crush Garethon’s spirit, to stare right through his soul.
The truth? Garethon and Gian were one and the same, a pair of split souls that originated from the same person.
This was probably their final trump card, and they were waiting for the right time to reveal it. It was just unfortunate that... Theron had already seen through them.
They had left far too many clues behind. So much so that this big, ready and waiting reveal was so pathetically impotent that Theron didn’t even care to speak it aloud.
And yet, those words were really all he had to say for them to know they had been found out.
The location of the Luminescent Moon Sect, the involvement of Gian with the very branch Theron was enrolled into, the fact Gian had a Black Limbo Tortoise Beast Core on hand of all things...
The fact Garethon had so conveniently chosen to target such a small village, so very far away from his Seijin Clan when there were any number of innocent villages he could have targeted...
It all seemed so coincidental...
Until Theron saw Juliax. That was when it all clicked.
For Garethon, Juliax was truly his magnum opus. But that wasn’t just because she was so powerful. It was because she was the blueprint for succeeding in exactly what he wanted to do.
A child-like version of himself, one far younger than his true self... one capable of benefiting from the same plasticity Juliax had without nearly the same drawbacks.
