The Empyreal Gem Master

Many changes were occurring, but Alexander kept a simple for himself.

Yes, there was a war.

Powerful Rulers that had likely been living far longer than him were coming around Ephesus, and he would face others soon enough!

So in the middle of all of this…

"Land, Sky, Void, Stellar, and then Nebula? Does it just continue? And it continues to revolve around Covenants of Nature?"

His main body returned to the Sacred Gold Mountain as he was currently spending time with Claire.

He was telling her about all of the things currently occurring while she experimented with the Covenant of Gold.

Because of the effects of the Core Feature of the Enneagram, even Claire was just a little bit off from completely Assimilating the Covenant of Gold.

She was currently constructing an entirely golden castle as she conversed with Alexander.

He was floating while looking at the skies that were clearing above as he replied.

"I don't know too extensively how the Covenants of Nature will continue to be critical as you go higher, but as of right now, they're the biggest thing. I even have another Clone of mine heading out into Void to chase another pathway."

"Oh?" Claire's eyes sparkled with interest. "I would love to see things outside of Ephesus. You could have taken me with you."

Take her with him?

Alexander shook his head at that.

"Not on that trip. Maybe if you are able to make a clone of yourself later when you become a Void Ruler. The place I am going to is the Death Lands of the Void."

…!

Yes.

Alexander currently had a Clone going towards the Death Lands of the Void after he talked to the Dark Sword and obtained information regarding the coordinates of this place.

He learned about nearby sectors, where his Realm of Ephesus was located in comparison to the Dark Rule, the Beast Alliance, and the Star Alliance.

He had already formed a rough map as an Enneagram Clone was en route for one reason, and one reason alone.

The Death Land was touted as a place of great danger and opportunity.

Many Stellar Rulers would make their way there as within, there were Void Beasts with bodies that were extremely treasured due to being extremely in tune with the Covenants of Nature!

One could make rapid advancements in their assimilation of Covenant and increase their power if they could survive against the Void Beast and use their bodies for their own gain.

The only caveat was that the Death Lands were a bit far away.

It had taken the Dark Sword a few hours after hearing from his daughter for him to make his way from the death lands and to the bounds of Ephesus.

But that was the Dark Sword.

At this moment, Alexander was putting himself to the test.

In Ephesus, one body was on the Sacred Gold Mountain, and another was within the Hollow Earth.

Inside the Hollow Earth, the Wills of the Realm were looking as three newly formed Sacred Gem Engines born from Pure Natal Authority descended near Alexander.

"We were able to add three more worlds as these are the only different Covenants that we were capable of condensing into Sacred Gem Engines with our current power. The Covenant of Chaos, Karma, and Light. As more and more power is accumulated, even the Covenants of Life and Death, among others, will be viable as well."

The Will of Ephesus spoke as Alexander reached out towards the Sacred Gem Engine of Chaos, ready to do another speedrun of understanding and assimilating Covenants of Nature.

As one body tested itself this way, the other that was heading towards the Death Lands of the Void was testing the limits of his power!

It was an Enneagram Clone that was more powerful than the Main body, 175% more in fact!

And currently, it was freely putting to the test the burning star on his chest that spun with heavy waves of gravity.

He utilized every ounce of power that he could possibly pull from the star and focused it all on speed.

His figure was akin to a multicolored streak of light that irradiated power as he shot across the dark Void of Space.

It was a level of speed that the Dark Sword could not even dream of matching.

And the moment that another clone added the extra Covenants of Nature from three new Gem Engines…

BOOM!

The speed exploded different further.

He ignored any regions where there was an overlap between the Dark Rule and the Star Alliance as this trip had a singular purpose.

And in this manner, time slowly began to pass. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Close to an hour later.

Alexander began to slow down as his shining eyes could see a unique region of space unfolding up ahead.

His newly grasped Covenant of Chaos buzzed as up ahead, he saw clouds of murky darkness surrounding the region ahead.

Cloud. In space!

They were extremely concentrated and in overabundance, as they extended in all directions, with the particles of chaos mixed in with other unknown authorities that caused one's skill to prickle.

To enter, one would have to protect their bodies with their own authority constantly as within that murky darkness, they would very likely also come across the Void Beasts.

This was why only Stellar Rulers, who somewhat had control of their lives, would choose to enter a place like this.

Alexander only looked at the Periphery of the Death Lands for a second before his body delved in without worry.

The formation of an Enneagram Clone gave him a tremendous sense of freedom as with it, he could pursue opportunities without worrying too much about consequences!

He was curious what he would find within the Death Lands as a War was about to break out in the background.

As Alexander did this.

He didn't know that from another direction, forces from the Beast Alliance also arrived under the direction of the Spider Queen.

He also didn't know that a Mimic with his face…had arrived at the boundaries of the lands of the Star Alliance- even more chaos was about to unfold!
