Chapter 1806: Cap 1804: Discovered

"I will not forget being denied my revenge!" (Adella)

"I did not deny anything, I am just saying that there is no point in getting revenge if it ends up returning to the state in which I was irrational!" (me)

"Don't look for him anymore and at least try to control your emotions!" (me)

"If you are not able to do that, then I will kill him myself away from your eyes before bringing his inert body before you!" (me)

"Who do you think you are!?" (Adella)

"I am older than you! Much older! I was once a great Goddess and you cannot order anything of me!!!" (Adella)

"You are right, you are older than me and you have also been through things that I do not fully understand!" (me)

"Then stop acting like a bratty child!" (me)

"What's more valuable? Getting your revenge at the cost of losing everything you've achieved with so much difficulty or getting your revenge with a clear mind and overcoming your past!?" (me)

"If you were able to control yourself, I wouldn't say anything, but I won't sit by and watch you destroy yourself like this!!!" (me)

Adella woke up as out of control as I thought she would be, arguing with her reminds me of the rebellious children at the orphanage, they had so much anger and hatred inside them that they took it out on those around them, often acting in self-destructive ways without realizing how much they were hurting themselves.

Adella is not a child, she is also more than just an adult, she is a Goddess thousands of years old, maybe millions of years old, but her emotions are simply too strong, too corrosive for her own good, a woman traumatized by her past and heartbroken, the focus of this pain is so close to her that asking her to control herself is irrational, I know that maybe I would not be able to control myself like that, unfortunately this is for her own good.

"Adella, hate me if you want, but I do this for your own good, you are family, you are important to me as well as to others, no one can see you in this state." (me)

"..." (Adella)

"Rest for now and reflect on everything you have done, reflect on my words, then come talk to me or my mother later, we will be here when you need us." (me)

Seeing that she remained silent and a gleam of confusion appeared in her eyes, I managed to achieve my goal, I managed to open a gap in her emotions and I hope that it will be enough to calm her down at least a little.

I went out and found my mother waving at me, I followed her to where Barerosa was waiting.

"I'll keep an eye on her, you can go to the meeting with Barerosa." (Mother)

"Thank you." (me)

---------------------

The meeting with the Ascendants didn't go as well as I imagined, the first part of the meeting was very simple and the 2 Level 3 Ascendants talked about their plans already in place, the two had already dispersed their troops as well as those who were saved, there was a lot to be done and even for this meeting I couldn't leave them standing still.

They were alone, each of them was accompanied by a Level 2 Ascendant as an assistant, I was no exception, Barerosa was by my side as an assistant.

But from the second part of the meeting where we presented our next plans, when suddenly everything changed, until one of them noticed something in me and attacked.

Melissa made a move worthy of a Gray Elf, dark needles came from all the shadows around me, except from my own shadow, while she herself advanced towards me with daggers in her hands, both hands aiming at my face while a dagger hidden in her boot tried to take advantage of it to launch a kick attack to my heart.

"(Tarzor?)" (me)

"(I'm fine.)" (Tarzor)

"< Law of Eclipse: Universal Restriction >" (me)

My shadow expands in all directions, a pair of eyes open like two lakes full of stars, dark tentacles rise from where the brightness of many stars emerge, trapping all of them here besides me, it also isolated this place from the rest of the universe as well as isolated all the Ascendant Laws with the exception of mine which is deeply marked in Tarzor.

All of them were trapped by these tentacles, whenever someone tried to use their power of the Ascendant Law, their energy was sucked by Tarzor, as everyone here was Level 3 Ascendants and were caught by surprise, they lost their opportunity to escape.

I am glad that Tarzor has recovered enough to accomplish this.

I look at everyone, ignoring the assistants of the two Level 3 Ascendants and focusing on them, Collins was visibly surprised and angry, but Melissa is calm, I can almost see a touch of happiness in her gaze.

Looking at Barerosa who seemed disturbed without understanding what was happening, I approached her controlling the tentacles to leave her immobilized in a more comfortable position and with her mouth closed.

"I'm sorry for doing this to you Barerosa, but we can talk later, this is not the best place for this." (me)

I touch her forehead and transfer some information to her, explanations about what the Ascendants do, how they attacked us, what they do with the conquered universes, about the traitors in their ranks, a little about our plans and also a question that I hope she can answer later.

Her eyes were shocked by what I transmitted to her, but I didn't let her speak and didn't pay any more attention to her, I also ignored Collins who was emitting a cold mist from his body while his eyes were full of anger, maybe he finally understood what was happening here.

My focus for now was on Melissa, her calm didn't change at all, she didn't even try to break free, her eyes were only focused on me, they were eyes that seemed to be collecting information, she really is intelligent without letting any opportunity pass by.

I had left everyone silent from the beginning, but I did nothing to stop Melissa from talking, staying silent was purely her choice.

"How did you find out about me?" (me)

"After we fought the Avatar, that Infernal creature seemed as strong as him, it didn't make sense that you managed to defeat that thing while Collins and I only managed to stop the Avatar of Pride." (Melissa)

"Your technique that isolated the two of you during the fight was also strange, the only Ascendant with a similar power known would be one of the 3 Thrones, Urak." (Melissa)

"Just that? It seems more like unfounded assumptions to me." (me)

"Yes, that's why I tried to research you. I saw some recent achievements as well as a failed mission, but after further research I discovered how the first Level 3 Ascendant who came into contact with you was declared dead with you taking over his troops." (Melissa)

"I was even more surprised when I didn't find anything about you before that, but even so, there was no evidence against you. All of this together was just suspicious up to that point." (Melissa)

"That's why during the Meeting I paid attention to you, your movements, the way you spoke, your decisions and even your Aura. It took me a while to realize the power of the Essence in you. It was so subtle that it went unnoticed while we were focused on the mission." (Melissa)

Collins struggled even more, his murderous intent leaking from his body continuously, his movements to free himself were becoming more violent than before, but even so it would not be even close to what it would take to free himself and so I turned my attention to Melissa who made a point of explaining everything in a slow manner, detailing each thought process calmly.

"But I must admit that I did not discover your identity or purpose, your actions left me intrigued, so I attacked to catch you off guard." (Melissa)

Melissa kept talking, she was also just looking at me, she still didn't show any nervousness and just kept calm, the kind of person who always thinks she has everything under control irritates me a little since nothing seems to go the way I want.

"You're to be congratulated, even your way of buying time is very sincere, telling everything without lying or summarizing, even your calm expression to make me curious to extract information from you was a good move on your part." (me)

I smile at her, her face showed no reaction to my words or smile, but the sparkle in her eyes changed to something different, she manages to hide her thoughts very well, but she's not used to being in such a passive situation, her actions are a little too obvious.

"You know what, I wonder, is your calmness due to the 3 Ascendants hidden 1 kilometer in that direction?" (me)

"How did you...?" (Melissa)

"Maybe it's because of the White Elf who was using his Familiar to watch us from over 10 kilometers away?" (me)

"Impossible... that's impossible... there was no way to find him... so how...?" (Melissa)

Seeing his calm expression finally breaking into one of disbelief was more fun than I imagined.

The hidden Ascendants were easy, there was no way I couldn't feel 3 pairs of eyes so focused on me, my senses are very good.

As for the Elf using the Familiar, I felt the Familiar when I was coming to the meeting, but I hadn't connected the dots until I was attacked, so when I decided to act, I did it cleanly, as soon as the tentacles that extended 5 kilometers around grabbed the Elf's Familiar, corrupted its power and followed its connection until it reached him, his own Soul was grabbed thanks to this and his body will be controlled until it enters the area under my control.

"You don't need to know how I found out." (Me)

"Now, what should I do with all of you..." (Me)

Suddenly I feel a strong Aura coming straight towards me and I quickly dodge a sword made of bone that engraves itself into the ground behind me, my eyes turn to the dark green figure coming from the same direction the sword flew from, the pressure of the Aura was quite great.
