Chapter 1862: Because

Khan's laughter came from above. "I told you what would happen, Gwenu. But you insisted on fighting him."

"You fight him, then!"

"Absolutely not." Khan smiled brightly.

"You three stop goofing around. Master is waiting." Ekear's voice came from a distant place.

Gwenu grunted. She could hardly move right now, and she didn't know if she wanted to.

Khan hopped down and slung her over a shoulder. "Off we—"

He looked back to find that Sylas was already gone. Khan could only shake his head. This littlest disciple brother of theirs was truly an anomaly.

"Sylas," Gralith said calmly. "What's your purpose this time?"

Ekear's lip twitched.

Honestly, the dynamic between Sylas and Gralith wasn't one he liked all that much, especially since Sylas refused to call Gralith Master. It was irritating.

However, Ekear found it hard to say anything because it was thanks to Sylas that Gralith was back. All things considered, Sylas had done more for Gralith than every one of them.

But by the same token, Sylas owed Gralith a lot as well. There was a reason people usually had such strong love for their masters-especially the good ones.

Even so, it was fine if Sylas was a little standoffish, but Gralith himself looked to also play into it. It was like Gralith spoke to Sylas like they were equals rather than what they should be—master and disciple.

"I was curious about my Combat Matrix Index right now," Sylas said. "I'm not sure of my limits. I would also like to understand the situation of the Emperor and Warlord Sanctums a bit more."

It was often hard to keep track of what was going on in Sylas' life because there was so much, but there was nothing that Sylas himself would ever forget.

Namely, before Sylas stirred the pot of not just one, but two Heavens, and enraged the Thryskai of the Mortal and God Tiers for that matter, he had first pissed off the Emperor Sanctum.

Sylas did this by snatching a ton of their Karma for himself and forcing it into the then 073, now 001 Sanctum. By doing so, he had effectively stunted the Emperor Sanctum's growth.

This was currently the 714th Cycle of the Emperor Sanctum. The current acting Warlords were only the 713th.

At the end of every Cycle, there would be a gathering. This gathering occurred much earlier than usual for several reasons, but the main cause of it all was the Thryskai who were racing to gather enough Karma to allow themselves to progress to Demi-Godhood first.

Back then, Sylas' actions in the gathering had ended up being the whole reason Rhykan's Purvon Clan could position themselves as Demi-God in the first place.

This was all to say that not only did Sylas snatch a majority of the Karma for Rhykan, what remained he directed into the 073 Sanctum to make them the 001 Sanctum.

These two factors together worked in tandem to place the Emperor Sanctum in a remarkably poor position where they had to quickly accumulate more Karma to prevent the decline of their power.

Due to this, they entered a state of what was essentially war, allowing free reign to their Branches and even the Emperor Sanctum Clan Lineages to do whatever they pleased to quickly gather more Karma by accomplishing feats and the like.

This was also quite an important period for another reason. Namely, the fact that the 713th Cycle was technically finished now, it was time to name the 714th Warlords.

This had been ongoing the entire time. But Sylas was distracted by trying to make it to the E-tier and dealing with Earth's Summoning.
