Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon-Chapter 699 - 698: Mad

The news about the sudden appearance of a Supreme Tribulation, the Shattering of the Underworld Sky, and the death of Savage and Orpheus, the notorious leader and vice-leader of the Legion of Nightmares was a shock to the residents of the Underworld.

For the majority of the Underworld residents, what they were mainly interested in was the death of the leader of the Legion of Nightmares and the shattering of the Underworld Sky.

Most had no idea what a tribulation was, talk less of a Supreme Tribulation and they couldn't be bothered by something that had no effect on them.

However, the death of Savage who was claimed by many to be the strongest Underworld resident was the talk of the Underworld.

Every part of the Underworld, the Outer Area, the Inner Area, and the Central Area, spoke about the death of Savage and Orpheus.

Many could not believe it and some considered it to be rubbish rumors, however, when the members of the Legion of Nightmares began behaving strangely and when images of Savage's ruined home began travelling far and wide in the Underworld, the Underworld was gripped by shock.

Two days after the news of Savage's death spread across the Underworld, the Destroyers of Darkness launched a sudden attack on the base of the Legion of Nightmares.

Although their leader, Pamela was absent, the Vice-leader and every other member was able to destroy the base of the Legion of Nightmares and kill majority of the members.

Those that survived either went into hiding out of fear of the Destroyers of Darkness or they joined other groups like the Devourers or the Embodiment of Lust.

It was a strange sight to the Underworld residents whenever they encountered a member of the Legion of Nightmares hiding in fear.

Most of them believed that nothing and no one apart from the Underworld itself could destroy the Legion of Nightmares. The terror of the Legion of Nightmares had been engraved in their hearts, and it came as a major shock to most of them.

What everybody wanted to know was the identity of the person that killed Savage and Orpheus.

The second shocking news the Underworld residents heard was the shattering of the sky of the underworld.

This news was by far the most dangerous information the Underworld residents heard of because anybody that was found spreading this information was executed by an Underworld official without fail.

Images, videos, drawings, and any sort of written document about the shattering of the Underworld Sky was taken down or destroyed by the Underworld.

A statement was spread throughout the Underworld, warning every single Underworld resident and even Outsider from spreading false rumors about the Underworld.

When everybody read the statement, they all knew that the rumors of the shattering of the Underworld Sky was true to an extent.

However, none of them dared to talk about the shattering of the Underworld Sky after seeing numerous Underworld residents begin slain in broad day light by the Underworld officials.

The Underworld residents chose to make the death of Savage and Orpheus, and the destruction of the Legion of Nightmares their main talking point.

Although, everybody kept on wondering who it was that not only killed Savage, but also shattered the Underworld Sky.

What every Underworld resident knew was that they were not the only ones that were curious about the identity of the culprit.

The Underworld officials and the Outsiders were also curious. The entirety of the Underworld was curious.

Meanwhile, before all of this began.

Selene and Kiefer met with Divine to obtain Lydia's location which to their surprise was in the Outer Area of the City of Sin.

After getting both the location of Lydia and the package that Corey sent to them through the E-Underworld, they departed to the Outer Area of the City of Sin.

Arriving in the Outer Area of the City of Sin was uneventful and easy for the duo, mainly because of Selene who emitted the aura of a Tier 4.

Her aura made anybody who had nefarious thoughts towards them to think twice, and without encountering any trouble other than some whispers as they moved through the streets of the Outer Area, it was fairly uneventful for the duo.

"We're finally here."

Selene sighed as she stood in front of a coffee brown metallic door.

Kiefer nodded in agreement. He could understand Selene's frustration because reaching Lydia's home had not been easy.

They had to walk a lot and take about five vehicles to reach Lydia's home, and it was stressful to them, mainly because it was extremely boring.

'We barely said a word to each other on our way here. I tried engaging in small conversation but she's so boring to talk to. She's terrible at conversations.'

Kiefer glanced at Lydia, and then he knocked on the door without saying anything.

They waited for some seconds but they received no response, and Selene frowned.

Kiefer calmly knocked the door once again, and a few seconds later, they heard soft but hurried footsteps.

"Who are you?"

Lydia's voice resounded from the door, and Kiefer looked at Selene, gesturing with his expression that she should answer.

Selene furrowed her brows slightly, "We're here to give you a package. We were sent by Corey."

"Corey?"

They heard Lydia's mumble, and then the sound of locks resounded from the door.

The door opened slightly, and then they saw Lydia.

"You're from Corey?"

Selene nodded, and Lydia glanced at both Selene and Kiefer for a few seconds and then she furrowed her brows.

"I'm sorry. But I don't believe you."

Lydia tightened her grip on the door and looked at Selene with a wary expression. She could sense the immense aura and unfathomable Mystic Energy that was almost making her tremble in fear from Selene.

'A Mystic Being.'

A tinge of fear and resolve flashed in Lydia's eyes, and she gripped the dagger behind her tightly.

"I don't know how you know Corey, but Corey only emitted the aura of a Tier 3. There's no way a Mystic Being would be on an errand for a mere Tier 3."

"You must be from the Embodiment of Lust. You must have been spying on me, and that's how you know about Corey."

"Because I didn't go back of my own free will, you want to bring me back by force. But I'll never go back. Never!"

Selene and Kiefer's eyes widened when they saw Lydia place a dagger to her throat.

'You have got to be kidding me. Is she mad?' Selene cursed inwardly.
