"It was left in front of my World a few hours ago, I could not trace it back."
Orravyn spoke as he gently touched the crystal and activated it. The crystal glowed and a screen appeared in the air.
"How primitive."
Ul’Thakar snorted in disdain.
No one else reacted to those words; their focus was on the screen and there—
He appeared.
The man who once stared at them with an arrogance they had never seen or experienced before.
A face so full of pure ego, arrogance, and superiority that for a moment, even the Infinities were taken aback.
And that face—
It hadn’t changed one bit.
Even now, when he was seeing them directly.
And of course, the Infinities did not like that one bit, especially someone as arrogant as Ul’Thakar; he felt that he was looking at a mirror and he hated that feeling.
"It is always amusing to see how arrogant one can be when they hide behind a screen."
Unable to hold back, he commented. Then his crimson eyes glowed strongly as he grinned—
"And satisfying when the same arrogance disappears when they are standing face to face."
A provocation.
A direct provocation, and right now, none of the other Infinities stopped Ul’Thakar. They waited. They wanted to see how the Fifth Infinity would react.
For a moment, the room was silent again.
And the Fifth Infinity, his blood-red eyes fell on Darkness and without a single change in his expression—
"A pack of four wolves and a dragon—
Who do you think has the right to look more arrogant?"
Azriel Ruinous opened his mouth and in an instant—
The room chilled.
This time, even the other Infinities reacted. They had been silent, yes, but this did not mean they had no ego of their own.
These were Infinities; their egos were the strongest the Universe had to offer.
In an instant, Orravyn moved, trying to sense Azriel’s location, and after about a second, he grinned—
"Difficult to answer that question when the ’dragon’ is the one hiding."
The rest of the Infinities smiled disdainfully as well, as if they didn’t even like the fact that they had to spend their time on this man.
Azriel, on the other hand, looked at Orravyn and—
"Do mortals know where their God actually is?"
He asked.
Orravyn frowned, but before he could say anything, Azriel’s blood-red eyes glowed—a shade deeper than Ul’Thakar’s—and—
"Think of it in the same way.
The Gods do not consider mortals worthy enough to appear in front of them.
You show yourself when you converse at the same level—
Not when you are answering a prayer."
Azriel answered in that same arrogant tone and once again, a deathly cold silence fell in the room.
The Infinities reacted to those words.
Their egos were wounded—not just Orravyn’s or Ul’Thakar’s, all four of them were the same. After all, they knew that Azriel wasn’t just saying those words to the two; he was talking to them all.
"Answering a prayer...?"
Seraphielle muttered in a somewhat lost, shocked voice. Never in her life did she imagine someone saying those words to her.
"Is that not what it was?
A few years ago I heard a cry for help, something like how you lot couldn’t deal with an enemy and needed help.
I answered.
Like a God does."
"Five years later?"
Ul’Thakar grinned, wanting to imply how big of a coward Azriel was for showing up five years later, but—
"Since when do Gods answer prayers the moment it’s requested? Gods move when they feel convenient. I had things to do before, so I figured you would be able to hold on till then."
Azriel paused, then he looked at Seraphielle and—
"But I did not think I would be wrong."
He commented, and Seraphielle—
She felt her mouth twitching. She closed her eyes, a sign that she no longer wanted to talk about this matter.
But did Azriel care?
He didn’t give a rat’s ass.
"To lose... three hundred, was it?
Three hundred worlds to a single enemy and not causing any harm to the enemy at all. If it were me, I would have killed myself out of embarrassment by now."
He continued to speak.
"But then again, I suppose you did hold off for five years.
You didn’t die. I congratulate you for that.
I believe with the way things stand, that alone is an achie—"
"That is enough."
Before Azriel could complete, Seraphielle spoke up. Her aura flared—enough for many beings in the Universe to feel it, especially the Light Borns.
Light Borns, still far away from the meeting room, frowned.
"Is that... a signal?"
He wondered in his head, but he shook his head.
Lady Seraphielle had already explained what the signal would be; she wouldn’t change it at the last moment.
This must be something else.
Who was it...?
"You knew him before we did, you nurtured him.
