Chapter 553 - Link Of Violence

In the span of roughly thirty minutes, the thousands of tables were filled with people

Each table was occupied by noin their own aspects, and eranted to theered around their bodies in a variety of ways, all perceivable with one's sense An aura for those who tried to sense it, a glow for those who observed, a screech for those who tried to heed it, and a pungent odor for those close enough to breath it in

The composition of the tables, paired with the colour of the chaave the e it look like a field of flowers that eed from the surface of an immense slab of milky white marble Each branch of tables forether, thanks to the powers contained within the people that for of leering at the very essence of existence, but split into its many components

Those who observed this spectacle couldn't help but lament of how the scenery would have been quite nicer, had all the high and ruling domains been there to co the last people to arrive in the pocket of space

He had stood in confusion as the other participants had casually taken their seats, leaving no tables e heard of the rules of the Exalted asseet close to him in the past few days Yet, now that no table was left for hi at the entrance, when he looked for the champions he had befriended by their domain's table, he saw old cha the only one left standing, Daniel did not panic He knew, thanks to the reaction that the participating do of his domain could not be a low one, and therefore, it was unlikely for the organizers to have si, he took the time to appreciate the scenery while he still could After all, even though he was now a one-man domain, and he could participate in every future Exalted assembly, thousands of yearsbefore the organizers of the event finally arrived

Composed by ten monstrous cultivators led by the Overlord himself, the champions of horror approached the table by the podium's side However, they did not sit Instead, they looked at the empty table by the left, and soon after turned to look at Daniel's lone figure

As if suddenly aware of having forgotten so, the Overlord walked around his table and headed towards Daniel ”My apologies, champion of Karma We have prepared a seat for you, but it appears we have forgotten to notify you” Said the Overlord with e ts of rotten and pointy teeth

”It's not a proble to notify him” had not been aas he was not offended, the Overlord let go of his feigned embarrassood look at Daniel An action that turned his polite smile into a confused one

Aside from the aura produced by Daniel's pohich the Overlord happened to find extre, he could not help but feel that Daniel felt so had been brief, and extremely faint, and yet not without cause

Without saying a word, the overlord scanned his last hundred years of memories in an attempt to find previous encounters with Daniel, but nointo the further back in time appeared in his mind, but was i of the Exalted assee, which could not have beenman in his early twenties

He would have to investigate these doubts at a later moment

”Very well This is your table” Said the Overlord before heading towards the lone table placed by the left of the podiuuessed was his seat, but at which he had not sat yet in case he was uessed that this special seat was his oas because of what he had learned the days that had followed his display of power as an aspect of Existence

The terrifying feeling that Daniel's power had placed onto the other champions' shoulders, was proof that the nature of his aspect of existence was of a higher tier than any other aspect represented by the do in this Exalted asseh tiers For that reason, by tradition, Daniel should have been sitting in front of everybody else, along with the other high tier doh tier domain present, the domain of Horror had decided to place beside the podium, as to not force thousands of champions to step back, and make way for hi, and he could appreciate the special treat to be at the center of attention

With a faint nod of his head Daniel followed the instructions and sat at his table, after which the Overlord headed towards the podiuht in front of it, exclainified htly features, ”We are here in the narievances peacefully, and according to the rules of the Exalted assembly”

These two sentences were soon repeated by the other chain” The Overlord added, starting the Exalted asse, a single line of cultivators appeared out of nowhere, and encompassed the entire area These cultivators were all champions of the dos would remain civil, as the rules dictated

While the appearance of this row of cultivators was a surprise for Daniel, that was not the case for the other domains, whose champions suddenly stood up, and walked towards the podiu a line that separated the branches into different sectors Not all the domains sent a representative, but in fact, only the weakest ones, as their proble to the rules, the first ones to talk would be the lowest tier of doh tier, and if present, high doanizer, as his matters were the very reason why the Exalted assembly had been called, and therefore, had to be the most important ones

”Anatole Baudin, champion of lord Duel” Said the first cha blonde hair His attire was siant leather shoes, and a baggy white shi+rt,His hand rested on the hilt of a rapier, placed by the left side of his waist opposite to what appeared to be a single bullet version of the gun sported by the champions of War's domain

”Two hundred of our champions, half of which my direct descendents, were either killed or kidnapped while inside a contested universe that was later claimed by the aspect of Treachery We beseech Coet an explanation” Said the blonde youngthe hilt of his rapier It was clear froreat i man's request, a champion of thetowards the table occupied by the cha tone, ”The acquisition of an untouched universe is a co what happened to thebehavior of the champion of Competition did not seem to have any effect on the champions of Betrayal, one of whoh a feigned sation, led the day of their disappearance, roughly three hundred years ago, has led to no satisfactory explanation”
