Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 340 - Three Resonances, Perfect Resonance!



Shen and Sun suddenly appeared in their human form with their own battle garment as they stood behind Lyon under the fevering gale. Both of them grinned their teeth out as each individual exuding their unique aura that made a god looks like a crying child. 

Lyon retracted his right arm as his black galaxy eyes turned sharp along with a smirk on his face. People could see death written on his right arm as a torrent of mana spiraled around it.

Shen and Sun opened their mouth at the same time as they said.

"Do it! Grandson!"

Both of them placed their hands on his shoulders before Lyon's eyes shifted from black to jade and then shifting it to golden. Suddenly the atmosphere turned silent as he took a deep breath.

"Heh..."

He smirked before he plunged his right fist forward as time itself slowed down. There was a golden spark generating on his knuckles the closer it got to the huge ashen bell. Lumina's eyes gradually opened wide as she realized what the golden sparks meant.

(He... He is scrapping the very fabric of space!)

She screamed those words in her heart before all of the onlookers watched the fist connected against the huge ashen bell

DONG!

All of their eyes immediately opened wide to the point almost jumping out of their eyes socket the moment they saw the  Bell of Heaven instantly had a huge dent as half of Lyon's right arm embedded inside.

The sound wave immediately traversed through the entire West City before going to the sea and further beyond. 

DONG!

The onlookers inside the North City were shocked and trembled as they heard the resonance. The man who was on the Top Boards opened his crossed arms as he stood and looked at the huge ashen bell above the stairs. His face turned grim as he muttered.

"The true monster is here."

He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the similarly dented huge ashen bell.

DONG!

The South City received the same resonance at the same time as the North City. The onlookers had their legs felt like noodles as some of them couldn't handle the truth and fell on their butts. Their mouths were gaping but words could only stick on their throats.

The woman that evoked the resonance with her magic gulped her saliva. She couldn't even shake her head as she muttered, "Wow..."

The huge ashen bell was dented beyond recognition and set fear to some of the Crown winners. However, the woman puckered her lips up. 

"I wonder who... is it a male or female, either way, they were not among the Top Boards such as myself."

She looked toward the west with keen interest.

----------------------------

Meanwhile in East City.

Kaiju was pantingly breathing before he turned around and spread his arms with sweat profusing from his face. 

"Can't you see that?! I'm the Heaven's Son! Kaiju Loh!"

He shouted at the top of his lung with a sneer on his face as he glanced at the onlookers below him. (Look at all of you... you are all talentless fool) thought Kaiju before he continued.

"I'm the one that will open the way, to pave the way to Heaven themselves! The Throne is as good as—"

"Heh... here it comes!" Kyoko smirked as her eyes slightly squint. Luna smiled as she crossed her arms.

DONG!

Kaiju's pupils immediately shrunk as his hair and garb fluttered against the sudden bang of wind from behind. His heart skipped a beat as his neck became heavy to even turn around. He gulped as he glanced over his shoulder before his eyes turned wider and wider to their maximum extent.

(Wh....?)

The onlookers started to fall one by one as they couldn't believe what they were seeing. There was nothing that could have prepared them for this. It was unprecedented from the history of the previous generations. Yet here they were, to be the witness of auspicious times.

"That's amazing... hubby is really amazing!"

Ryona was singing praises as she jumped around under the shocked atmosphere with her orange hair flowed along.

Karina's mouth was agape as well before she woke up from the stupor and took a blink. She let out a breath of sigh before she shook her head. He was amazing from her first encounter but it seemed she could never overestimate him ever since that day in the forest.

Biane almost forgot to swallow her drink as Clemora's ice cream fell from the scoop looking at the huge ashen bell in the center of the city bent as if something was trying to pierce it. 

Jugen suddenly awakened from his dream before he saw the condition of the Bell of Heaven right in front of his eyes. (What? Am I still dreaming? Or... is this big bro's doing?) at this point in his life, he really couldn't tell the difference. He was there since almost at the beginning of his adventure and he saw things that no normal humans could do yet he did so with ease.

Luna smirked as she looked at Kaiju before saying, "Can your boyfriend do that?"

Kaiju Loh almost puked blood when he heard her say those words. There was infinite hate fuming in his eyes against the group of women.

"I bet, the phenomenon he evoked would be amazing."

The chestnut-colored hair lady suddenly appeared right beside Luna with her hands on her waist glaring at Kaiju. Princess Aelina wouldn't accept a loss against Princess Luna who was her life-long rival. 

Luna glance over her before she shook her head with a smile. The princess, of course, noticed this.

"W-what? A-A lady has her needs of emergency."

Aelina's cheeks turned a red hue before she saw her rival slightly turned around and hid her face whilst chuckling. 

----------------------------

Meanwhile, in the Center City.

"Do you hear that?" the woman chuckled as she looked at the dark night above.

Sophia was at a loss for words. Three resonances had occurred and it came from the one with the lowest cultivation levels amongst the Crown winners. 

Lyon Torga was the name, Handsome Thief was how she called him the first time they met. The one that managed to steal right under broad daylight in the middle of the arena where thousands of watchful eyes were placed on him. Her head slightly lowered before she shook her head with a smile.

"Three resonances, perfect resonances, just like Empress."

"En, just like me. However, hahaha. I think he overdid it a little."

Sophia smiled wryly as there was something that kept bugging her. (Is Lyon Torga really the Empress's husband? That Handsome Thief?) the thought made her crazy and curious. Someone as strong as her and some unknown young man from the edges of the world. There was no way something like that could happen, however, the chances were never zero. She didn't believe that her Empress could be manipulated and mind-controlled with how strong she was from outside and more from within. 

She clenched her fist before she made up her mind and brace herself. She won't get anywhere if she just waited, it was time to ask her about their relationship because if it were to be absolutely true. The news of their relationship would spread faster than light and who knew what would happen to the world.

"Empress—"

"Huss...."

She gently raised her hand and showed the back of her hand in which the platinum ring on her ring finger flashed. Under her nose, she smiled before she muttered, "Watch... A phenomenon of this scale, some are not lucky enough to see it in their lifetime."

Sophia's eyes opened wide.

----------------------------

Back in the West City.

He pulled out his arm from the huge ashen bell that couldn't be called a  Bell of Heaven anymore since his knuckle almost penetrated the entire thing. He raised his right arm to take a look at his palm before he let out a smirk as his flesh suffered injuries and the feeling of heat was permeating from it.

The two Top Boards member was looking at them with their mouth gaping. Ayuku gulped her saliva as she began to slightly stutter, "A-Amazing."

Madoku nodded, "Is this guy even human? Is he really just a Divine Realm Cultivator? I... I..."

She couldn't find a word before Madoka suddenly take over and nodded, "En, amazing."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The old man shook his head before he muttered, "I thought I couldn't be any more surprised by your raw talent, but I was wrong. Not to mention that this is currently not your limit judging from your expression or your cultivation level."

"Fusya!"

The giant salamander nodded before his dark eyes sparkled at the sight of its only best friend/master.

"Older brother really likes to break stuff, huh?" Tuey shook her head, she didn't know the significance of the event was unlike the rest of the onlookers.

Lumina didn't say a word as her eyes were anticipating the thing that's about to happen.

Lyon smirked before he crossed his arm and looked at the sky, "Now come, let's see how you judge me!"
