“I Will Steal Everything from You!”

Just as Ace’s voice trailed off, he, with the darkness, vanished into the Primordial Ascension Path of Doom, and soon thereafter, the path closed with the Primordial Ascension Altar returning to normal.

The temple heart was now returned to its serenity like nothing had happened, but the trembling eye and the white silhouette were proof of its credibility.

“Useless thrall begone!” The eye shimmered menacingly, its voice resonating with power. The white figure dissolved into light particles, disappearing completely with these final words.

At this moment, the trembling crimson eye, which seemed to be furious, suddenly became stoic, and its crimson color began to fade away, returning to its ethereal state.

A starry streak suddenly shot out from it and struck the Primordial Ascension Altar. The next moment, the entire hall shook before runes began to emerge on the towering statues just like a few moments ago.

But this time, the runes seemed different, and streaks of neon lights shot out from the heads of those statues and landed on the throne at the other end of the hall.

The eye vanished and reappeared in front of the white throne, which was now shimmering in starry glow, and with a brilliant flash of light, an ethereal giant figure seemed to be made with endless neon lights descending on the empty throne.

At this moment, the golden eye suddenly twisted and shape-shifted into a person in a golden robe with blurry features. It was kneeling in front of this neon figure on the throne—a sight that could shock anyone who knows about the Heavenly Will!

“Father, the Heaven’s Stealer has reemerged, and he managed to steal the item!” It said with a fearful tone filled with trepidation.

The neon figure spoke at this moment, “I know.”

The person in golden robes suddenly raised his head in disbelief, “Y-you knew?”

“Heh…” The neon figure chuckled, a sound that chilled the golden-robed figure to the bone, “Don’t forget the Primordial Temples are under my rule! Despite not fully transforming into my dominion, they are still under my RULE!

“So, when a sneaky thief steals something from them, I’ll be the first one to know, even before an incompetent Templar!”

The person trembled, as despite the neutral tone, it could feel the wrath behind it, and it quickly prostrated itself in front of the neon figure. “I deserve punishment, I deserve punishment…” It hysterically started to mumble.

As for seeking forgiveness, it knew better than anyone that there was no forgiveness in the heart of this person before it, for he was the most ruthless dictator of them all!

“Heh, if you think admitting your mistake will lessen your punishment any further or begging would change anything, then you’re thoroughly mistaken. Even if you’re one of my creations, I’ll judge you the same as anyone.

“Since you committed the most unforgivable crime, letting the Heaven’s Stealer get his hands on the Symbolum Aeternum, you cannot pay for your sin even with your life. But it’s a pity that you don’t have anything but your life to pay for it.

“However, don’t worry, I won’t kill you, for you are the soul of Mortal Heavenly Will. Henceforth, your current personality will be erased from existence, and you’ll start anew and repent for your unforgivable sin!”

His words were like the highest laws, and the moment he uttered his command, the entire Mortal Sky Heaven shook for a moment. The prostrating person in front of him suddenly paused and was enveloped in a neon light before it completely vanished.

Now, within the temple’s heart, only the neon figure on the throne was present, and suddenly, “Puff… hahaha hahaha!”

He breaks into booming laughter filled with mirth and madness; his previous anger seems to vanish completely, and he even sounds amused by this whole situation for some reason.

After a while, he stopped laughing and muttered in merriment, “Well played, my Antagonist. Just when I think you’re out of tricks, you always bring out something refreshing.

“You are the only Heaven’s Stealer I’d acknowledge and the only one who got close to threatening me, but you still end up being the only loser, just like the other Heaven’s Stealers!

“Yet it seemed that even after your doom, you still had a few tricks left to amuse me. For the first time, a Heaven’s Stealer appeared in the Mortal Sky Heaven, the only place that can’t nurture one since I can easily crush him like a bug when he tries to ascend.

“But you proved me wrong again, and this Heaven’s Stealer seemed to be quite extraordinary even among the previous Heaven’s Stealers. He even managed to enter the Temple and stole the Symbolum Aeternum.

“How did he find out about it? I made sure not to leave any clues, yet it was still revealed. Most importantly, he was able to touch it and then even activate the Primordial Ascension Altar, with a method lost in time…”

His voice turned stern and uncertain at this moment, “Something is different this time. I can feel it. There’s something you did that I’m unaware of. Well, no matter what, the result will be the same; this Heaven’s Stealer will soon have the same fate as the others.

“So, what if he managed to steal the Symbolum Aeternum? I’ve got it from you to begin with, and since only a Heaven’s Stealer can use it, I’d sealed it here. But so, what if it returned to its source? It’s not like since I can’t use it, I can’t do anything else to it, right, My Antagonist?” He questioned with amusement while he seemed to be looking at the empty void as if there was something there that could hear him.

His neon eyes suddenly turned into black holes, and the temple in front of him started to vanish. He peered into the depths of an unknown space, and there was an unbelievable thing in that space.

Within this thing, he gazed upon a dark corner where a person was wrapped around in a cocoon of white chain, and its long, inky hair was covering its face.

Suddenly, this chained person seemed to sense something raised its head, and pitch-black eyes suddenly glowed like an abyss. A withering voice rang that seemed to have remained silent for eons at this moment.

“No fool like an old fool!”
