CHAPTER 2390 DIVERGENCE! I
"Caterina…"
The eyes of multiple Apex Aeonix Lifeforms lit up at the appearance of one of the pillars of the Lernaean Lineage!
Yet seeing Caterina Aurelia Dismukes appearing along with Orion right after his exchange of words with the Apex Aeonic Lineage Emperor Roan, a terrifying and palpable pressure seemed to descend as their overly strong souls knew something grand was about to happen.
"I won't waste any of our time, so I will simply state that I am here to invoke the Lernaean Enthronement Ceremony to depose Roan Gregorius Acidinus and to anoint a new Apex Aeonic Lernaean Lineage Emperor."
BOOM!
Space shook and trembled as powerful Wills collided and vibrated at such an announcement!
To Depose the current Emperor and call forth a Lernaean Enthronement Ceremony that would raise a new Emperor!
It was a sacred ceremony that was determined by the majority of the currently present Lifeforms in the Lernaean Apex Aeonic Domain at the point in time that it was invoked.
All those present within this domain held a vote as it was one of the most sacred places for Lernaeans!
Even the Interim Aeonic Lernaean Lineage Emperor Maximilian who was here held a vote, even though he wasn't an Apex Aeonic Lifeform!
The violet visage of Roan was utterly cold as veiled anger and hurt could be seen in his eyes, his fist clenched as he didn't say a word.
He simply watched on as at such a reaction, the swirling milky white light within Orion's sockets churned as a sensation he didn't want to feel began to flourish!
So he became even more determined as he continued.
"All those in favor of deposing Roan Gregorius Acidinus as the current Apex Aeonic Lineage Emperor."
His hand rose in a grand show of wonder as the Apex Aeonic Lifeforms present glanced at each other without any movements.
Maximilian's main body was the first one to join Orion as from his throne, his hand rose!
There were many others here more powerful than him- the less than a dozen Apex Aeonic Lifeforms seated on the thrones amounting to 9 without including Orion and those he arrived with.
Yet his hand was the first to rise as Roan gave him a powerful cursory glance.
Thereafter, an annoyed voice echoed out as the fair hand of Aurelia laced in golden light rose.
"I left my abode to come here for this, so let's make it quick."
Her hand rose.
The eyes of the 9 Lernaean Apex Aeonic Lifeforms gazed at it as in sequence…
BZZT!
They began to raise their hands one after another! This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
If Caterina the Great supported this ordeal, how could they deny it?!
Unless none of them wanted to receive stupendous treasures in the future, they could only follow even if their Wills thought differently.
Out of all the Lernaean Lifeforms here, only three did not raise their hands.
Roan and the two Lifeforms closest to him.
Their eyes held deep conviction as they also sighed internally, their bond with Roan running too deep as they had to at least stand with him!
As for Roan himself.
His gaze was currently billowing with cold anger as he remained outwardly calm during all this, watching those who had raised their hands to give the majority win needed in order to depose him with a chilling light!
At this point, Orion nodded with a heavy expression as the next words he wanted to say were simple ones.
The stifling foreboding sensation on his soul only became heavier as his milky white Dynamis of Extremity surged over his skin like heavy tendrils of light, with him not being the only one as beside him…Aurelia's eyes had long since become stern before his!
Since the majority vote had been cast, Orion was going to say that at this moment, Roan was deposed as another vote would be held to decide the new Apex Aeonic Lernaean Lineage Emperor.
But he didn't say these words.
The heavy sensation in his heart fully settled as instead, he asked gravely.
"Roan…what have you done?"
WAA!
"Oh?" The Deposed Emperor seated upon his violet throne raised "I thought you were about to call the premature end to the vote, and I was going to tell you that you do not have the majority."
…!
The air became utterly stifling.
This domain hidden deep under a vast sea of Nullity within the heart of the domains of the Lernaean Lineage trembled at this juncture as the expressions of many changed at this moment- their Wills catching Roan flick out a Runestone that read {Shadows}!
And an instant later, the blazing auras of over a dozen Apex Aeonic Lifeforms began to bloom one after another.
A radiant obsidian light of grandeur bloomed as with it, 13 dazzling shadows manifested behind Roan!
Each one seemed like a volatile singularity as the power of a powerful Apex Aeonic Lifeform emanated from each of them!
Their sudden appearance caused the expressions of all here to change drastically as this domain was a distinctive kind of a Minor Plane of Existence. Without the correct authority, no being could simply enter.
And such an authority was always granted to the most distinguished Lernaeans.
Until today.
Until Roan…
"You fool…what have you done?!"
It was Aurelia who bellowed out at this instant as her vivacious body pulsed with immense power, their Wills very vividly catching the appearance of these 13 Apex Aeonic Lifeforms that were in no way connected to the Ancestral Lernaeans!
Their expressions were those of utmost calm and grandeur as even though they appeared behind Roan, they floated slightly above his throne as they seemed to portray their own importance and power.
Their eyes were callous as if everything happening around them was inconsequential, with the most dreadful thing being…their shadows.
They endlessly stretched behind them and towards an invisible distance as all 13 beings were wore with glimmering stellar black robes that held the writing of {Shadows}!
