Chapter 3630 Gloria Is The Lord
Floyd had been maniacally devouring energy lately. His strength grew by leaps and bounds.
He even took the time to head to Yartran to devour.
Although Levi had already dissipated the super-spiritual ley line’s energy, it was still the source of the re-emergence of spiritual energy. Hence, the spiritual energy nearby was much denser than in other places.
For an elementary-stage devourer like Floyd, the beneficial effects of the spiritual energy would be obvious.
What Floyd did not know was that Xylas had been cultivating in secret while Floyd was devouring spiritual energy.
However, Xylas never revealed himself. After all, Gloria had permitted Floyd to devour the spiritual energy; his duty was only to watch Floyd from the shadows.
Undoubtedly, he was tasked to get a hold of Floyd’s progress without any delay so that Gloria could continue using him.
Meanwhile, Forlevia continued to research the flaws of the extreme devouring technique.
To Forlevia’s knowledge—as the technique came from her—a destructive technique that destroyed the balance of nature would certainly had its downsides, which she had to eliminate.
Furthermore, the key to gaining control was to use one’s own technique book to control the space around oneself before one’s opponent could release the greatest amount of energy.
In that case, the spiritual energy and the elemental energy within the space would no longer be usable by the user of the pillaging technique.
Indeed, that period of time was extremely short. One could even say that it would end in the blink of an eye.
For elite cultivators like the mysterious female lord and Xylas, flaws like these would be even tougher to find.
That was why the person would have to be skillful in utilizing that technique.
So far, only Forlevia was somewhat capable of doing that.
Despite that, her capability must not be too far apart from her opponent’s to ensure that she would be able to defeat them.
Otherwise, if her opponent was too powerful, they would disrupt the balance of her power that was controlling the space.
As a matter of fact, her opponent might not even give her a chance to meld the power of the universe. If that were to happen, she would lose.
“At the end of the day, I’m just not powerful enough.”
Forlevia sighed.
On the other side, Phoenix and the others were still checking out Gloria.
For more in-depth investigation, the few of them split up to blend in among the members of the Glorian Order.
Their goal was clear. They had to figure out a way to confirm the identity of the order’s lord.
Although their infiltration was a risky move, it was an effective one.
Azure Dragon and the others soon received accurate and crucial information.
One piece of information they had gotten was that the sword belonging to the lord of the order was Levi’s God Crusher.
Back then, when the Glorian Order was decimating West Pavilion, the members had received a kill list. Those on the list were apprentices who had grudges against Gloria.
Furthermore, many of the Glorian Order’s council members were completely head over heels with Gloria.
Most importantly, numerous members of the Glorian Order’s description of their lord’s figure matched greatly with Gloria’s, especially the voice.
Moreover, they found out that the time period when the Glorian Order’s lord had devoured the spiritual ley line was a match for the time period when they had lost contact with Floyd and Gloria.
All signs pointed to Gloria being the Glorian Order’s lord.
There was no mistake.
Upon reaching that conclusion, Azure Dragon and the others dared not linger at the Glorian Order. They swiftly found a way to return to their base.
Meanwhile, after Gloria had failed to find the super-spiritual ley line, she temporarily put aside the idea of devouring it.
For now, the power she possessed was enough.
What she needed to do first was to decipher how powerful Thundera and the Cetus were.
Everything considered, how powerful they were would directly affect Gloria’s next moves.
“I still need to keep a close eye on Xylas’ transformation. By and large, he’s the last of the Cetus. I can’t tell for sure if he’ll still work under me once he gains the support of the Cetus and the mighty beings of the legendary world. In any case, I have to maintain Xylas’ loyalty. Even if he can’t become my support, I won’t let him become my obstacle.”
Gloria had made up her mind. She decided to brainwash Xylas a little more before the Cetus returned.
