Rewriting Fate with My Apex War Goddess (by Ezekiel Valor) novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698 A Threat

roux had already been corrupted this badly. What about the other cities?

If they were all the same, then Draconia was in serious trouble.

Steven thought back to what Brian had told him. Even his parents’ deaths had involved people/pulling strings behind the scenes.

Three hundred years is a long time. In ancient times, that’s enough to mark the lifespan of an entire dynasty. Has Draconia’s Divine Sanctum really reached that point too?

The thought weighed heavily on Steven.

Still, there was something else bothering him.

Hudson has already risen to the very top of Orroux’s power structure.

Someone in his position shouldn’t have needed to handle things personally, but he did.

Why?

He said I’ve ruined their plans again and again.

What plans?

Is he talking about what happened in the Solaria Mountains? Does Hudson know about that?

No. If Hudson had been there when the Ember Sacred Sword appeared, he definitely would’ve stepped in.

That means Hudson wasn’t there. Either that, or when the Ember Sacred Sword fragments concealed everything that was happening, they blocked Hudson’s senses too, preventing him from knowing what happened on Heavenspire Peak.

Just thinking about it sent a chill down Steven’s spine. Thank God the Ember Sacred Sword has a will of its own.

If Hudson wasn’t talking about that, then it has to be…

Steven suddenly realized what he meant.

The beast egg!

Steven watched Hudson approach step by step, his heart sinking.

Every footstep seemed to pound against everyone’s chest, cold and merciless.

What are we supposed to do now?

How can we possibly get out of this?

Even at full strength, the Eightfold Domain can only hold off a Divine Lord for ten minutes. Now that its energy is almost gone… how much longer can it possibly last?

Alan looked at Steven.

Then he shot him a meaningful glance.

The message was obvious.

Stall him!

Hudson said coldly, “Why not just accept your deaths?

“Why waste everyone’s time? Do you really think any of you are getting out of here alive?”

A heavy sense of dread settled over everyone.

What can we possibly do?

Alan barked, “Who the hell are you?”

Hudson let out a contemptuous laugh, his hoarse voice carrying through the air.

“You don’t deserve to know.”

But then, Steven gave a mocking laugh. “What if I told you I already know?”

Finished

Hudson stopped and turned toward Steven.

Steven scoffed. “What? You don’t believe me?”

Hudson’s eyes turned ice-cold.

Has my identity really been exposed?

He’d considered the possibility before, but as long as no one had actually figured out who he was, it didn’t

matter.

Have I slipped up somewhere?

Thousand Shadows dragged his badly injured body over to Hudson’s side. Both of his arms were gone.

The wounds at his shoulders had already stopped bleeding.

Right now, all he wanted was to kill Steven.

Without his arms, he was practically crippled.

And it was all Steven’s fault.

Steven smiled. “You had this old bastard come after me in the Solaria Mountains because you wanted this back, didn’t you?”

As he spoke, Steven took the stone egg out of his spatial converter.

By now, it had become nothing more than an ordinary stone egg.

But as Steven took it out, he channeled some of the power from his beast-type Divine Sigil into it, creating

Convincing illusion.

Unless they got their hands on it themselves, there was no way they could tell whether it was real

The moment the beast egg appeared, Thousand Shadows’ pupils contracted sharply.

Even Hudson showed a flicker of surprise. So the beast egg is still with Steven.

Good…
