Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 565 -565-The Secret Left Behind by the Supreme Existence

Charlemagne struggled to calm his thoughts before speaking in a measured tone.

"Your Majesty, my origins lie in Sacredwood Settlement."

"It served as the former abode of that unparalleled being—the very one who once graced the royal court within the Celestial Light God Realm."

"What sets it apart is the Dark Abyss he abandoned there."

"And inside that Dark Abyss... a certain entity remains confined!"

Charlemagne's voice quivered just a bit.

"From the tales passed down by my forebears, should that entity break free, catastrophe would engulf the whole Star Sea universe."

"Thus, I venture to implore Your Majesty—whatever occurs, safeguard the Styx Sector at all costs."

"Should the Styx Sector crumble and the Dark Abyss burst open... the entire Star Sea universe might plunge into endless quietude."

Charlemagne articulated his words with deliberate slowness and utmost precision.

Complications mounted relentlessly in the unfolding scenario. Revealing his identity and unveiling this hidden truth became his only option.

Something universe-shattering lurked in the Dark Abyss!?

Relic of that unparalleled being...

Aurek's gaze sharpened ever so slightly.

Once more, that enigmatic unparalleled being emerged.

In one instance, he commanded the Starborne Divine Court to construct the Twelvefold Divine Sanctuaries, concealing a world-altering mystery.

In another, he embedded a Dark Abyss into the Styx Sector, trapping a horrifying force inside.

Precisely what schemes did that unparalleled being pursue?

And to where did he vanish?

"Then, given the peril of whatever dwells within... why didn't that unparalleled being eradicate it directly?" Aurek inquired.

Charlemagne replied with deep respect, "The precise cause eludes me as well."

"Ten thousand years past, Primordial Sword City wiped out my clan in their quest to uncover that mystery. Countless concealed facts vanished alongside Sacredwood Settlement."

"Regarding why that mighty entity opted to imprison it rather than eliminate it..."

He hesitated briefly before pressing on.

"The strong possibility exists that... it proved impossible to destroy."

"I swear not a word of deceit in this affair. I entreat Your Majesty to discern the truth wisely."

Aurek rested against his sword, sinking into contemplation.

The true extent of that enigmatic unparalleled being's power remained unknown to him.

Yet from the exploits he'd learned of, that entity's prowess far exceeded any Empyrean Sanctum Aurek had knowledge of!

Most probably reaching Eternal Sage rank... perhaps surpassing it!

Nevertheless, even a power like that failed to slay the captive within...

The magnitude of such danger required little elaboration.

This issue demanded a full probe.

Failing that, it might disrupt all his strategies entirely.

...

The Council of Truth.

From the emptiness, the Saintess of Truth's form materialized out of the void.

Her presence felt far diminished compared to her departure, with a faint weariness etching across her aloof, unyielding visage.

The Slaughter Angel stirred from his trance, eyes fluttering open.

He stood up, directing his gaze at the Saintess of Truth... then scanned beyond her—

Nothing stood there.

"He has perished."

The Saintess of Truth uttered the words evenly, preempting Slaughter Angel's question.

Slaughter Angel's frosty eyes narrowed abruptly.

Councilor Silent Extinction ranked as a quasi-Empyrean Sanctum, bearer of the Council of Truth's deepest Will of Silent Extinction, with battle prowess solidly placed on the Star Sea Demigod Throne list.

Only a handful could outright end him—save for a true Empyrean Sanctum striking, or multiple peers ganging up on him.

"What transpired over there?"

Slaughter Angel's query had barely escaped when he detected an anomaly.

"You're wounded too!?"

The Saintess of Truth's energy had noticeably ebbed.

She inclined her head and methodically described the events in the Eastern Starfield.

One imperial projection alone decimated hordes of quasi-Empyrean Sanctum foes, then effortlessly rent apart a primordial vast realm.

Billions upon billions of imperial sage lord legions!

Even those formidable ancient heirs met total annihilation!

Any single revelation here could rattle the sturdiest of titans.

Slaughter Angel's piercing stare intensified.

Upon the Saintess of Truth's typically stoic features, a profound solemnity now held firm.

"Aurek proves far from an ordinary foe. Our actions provoked him this time. For the Council of Truth, it could spell utter calamity."

Slaughter Angel paused in quiet reflection.

"Should he target the Council of Truth, he'll need to breach the Starfont Divine Court first."

At last, he voiced his thoughts. "Moreover, with so many ancient heirs fallen, the entities lurking at the chaos poles will surely ignite in fury."

"A fiercer tempest looms for that empire. It lacks the resilience to endure tempests from those bygone eras."

To carve out a new epoch demanded toppling the Starfont Divine Court, the Reincarnation Divine Court...

Toppling entrenched forces spanning all starfields, plus the enduring bloodlines from the Ancient, Primordial, Chaos, and Origin Epochs.

Put simply, the Crossbridge Empire aimed to challenge five epochs simultaneously!

Success in that feat would undeniably usher in Aurek's own epoch.

And come that day, regardless of the Council of Truth's machinations, doom would claim them inescapably. All safeguards would prove futile.

Thus, patience was their sole recourse—

Await the positions of the chaos poles and the twin Divine Courts.

"The mystery shielded by the Starborne Divine Court..."

Slaughter Angel inquired abruptly, "Has Aurek claimed it already?"

Erecting such an inconceivable base in a forsaken spot like the Eastern Starfield—absent the mystery borne by that Starborne Divine Court offspring, Slaughter Angel envisioned no force or circumstance in existence able to enable it.

The sole likelihood lay in Aurek's full grasp of that mystery!

Furthermore, he'd seized the Twelvefold Divine Sanctuaries, peerless artifacts crafted with the Starborne Divine Court's full might, rumored to link to that unparalleled being.

Yet these assumptions eluded confirmation by the Saintess of Truth—despite her own nagging suspicions mirroring them.

Throughout her entry into the Celestial Light God Realm to her exit, she never glimpsed the true Aurek—nor neared the Gold Giant Gate.

Still, this stood as the sole logical accounting.

Should it hold true, the Empyrean Sanctums of those mighty factions might need to intervene directly!

...

Starfont Divine Court, Starlight Sanctuary Hall.

All the Divine Court's officials assembled completely.

The rulers of the three realms, Duke Maupassant of Sacred Mountain, Duke Norman of the Primordial Starfield, the Lord of the Fallen Divine Realm, the seven marquises, Marquis Marte charged with border growth in the Endless Forest Sea, and the God Generals guarding the four sacred portals to east, west, south, and north...

At the forefront stood Leonel, Lord of the Sanctuary of Peace.

He delivered a comprehensive briefing on the Crossbridge Empire's intelligence.

More than a hundred million sage lord legion soldiers!

The presence of Eternal Apollo Sunblaze and the Cursefont Star God.

No detail escaped his thorough disclosure.

The gathered officials struggled to accept it.

"Impossible! Just from the Eastern Starfield?"

"Could such an isolated region truly yield legions numbering in the sage lord realm like that?"

Duke Maupassant of Sacred Mountain brimmed with astonishment and doubt.

He oversaw every matter of the Sacred Mountain, commanded rank matching Leonel's, and also qualified as a quasi-Empyrean Sanctum.

He fixed his eyes on Leonel. "Lord Leonel, did you behold this intelligence personally?"

Leonel's face grew solemn. "Every bit rings true without exception!"

"Not merely immense in scale, those sage lord legions boast slaughter potential that's downright horrifying!"

"Certain ones manipulate time and space laws. Others harness unadulterated destruction origin. They cross realms in battle, posing threats even to the Sage Lord level."

"Sage lord-realm forces battling beyond their tier...!"

"Hiss... legions mastering dual supreme essences?"

Debate surged wildly across the chamber.

None questioned Leonel's account.

In the Sacred Emperor's sight, rash words found no voice.

Yet the revelation stunned beyond measure.

Time, space—plus realm-crossing prowess.

Did this imply those sage lord warriors might challenge Sage Masters?

At that strength, could they retain the sage lord legion label?

It amounted to a Sage Master legion disguised!

From whence sprang this army? What peril did it present to the Divine Court? Might it undermine the Divine Court's core?

"On top of that, another bizarre circumstance demands attention!"

"Hm?"

Every gaze shifted to Leonel.
