Chapter 1992: Shamelessness

"My master won't say this because he doesn't care to say this," Nosphaleen said slowly, her smile fading. "But nearly a year ago now, he had only just joined the 073 Sanctum as one of their own. During that time, he faced some hardships, but as he always does, he made it through them and eventually became an official disciple of the 713th Scorpion Warlord, Gralith."

The name seemed to make several pupils constrict as though they were recalling something that happened long ago. But after seeing what Sylas had done to a Legend for speaking out of turn, they seemed to realize that there wasn't going to be a chance here for them to do much responding.

An Ancestor was dead, a Legend was heavily injured, and it felt like an entire Lineage was waiting for death only because the most monstrous E-tier they had ever laid eyes on deemed it fit to allow a girl they had hardly ever heard of to speak.

And somehow, since he was patient enough to listen to her, it didn't seem like it was their place to question whether they should hear her out or not.

"Upon experiencing a breakthrough, my master was attacked by a sudden assault on his life. A cursed scorpion clawed through his very being. And being the kind master that he is, Gralith put his life on the line, climbing the steps of the temple in order to give my Master a chance to sense the truest essence of a scorpion.

"Thanks to this, my Master was not only able to succeed, but he formed the first 100% Mastery Legendary Scorpion Emperor Gene."

Nosphaleen looked away from Keyesen and toward the Emperors and Ancestors before her gaze landed on Pedraeg.

"It's quite shameless, if you ask me. You treated that matter as though you were just making up for a mistake your son had made in the past, a mistake he could have easily rectified had he not been so over-eager. Are you under the impression that your son could have ever reached 100% Mastery of a Rune? Are you aware of anyone in the Mortal Realm capable of such a thing?"

The blood had completely drained from the 713th Scorpion Emperor's face.

Whenever they referred to the Emperor Gene, they perpetually spoke about it like it was any other Spark Mastery Gene. But it was either they were purposely being obtuse, or their talent was too limited to see the difference. Maybe it might have been a combination of the two.

Keyesen would have certainly succeeded in forming a Spark Mastery Gene before he progressed back then. But 100% Mastery?

That was the realm of creation, a level that only the universe, the system, and things on their level could replicate.

The idea that Keyesen would have been owed such a thing if not for a childish mistake was worse than utterly shameless.

They were sub-human in Nosphaleen's eyes.

"Before my Master could benefit from the fruits of his own labor, his Gene was snatched from him by a father-son pair. After being formed by the spirit of the temple, they descended and took what wasn't theirs."

"I repaid him." Pedraeg said weakly.
