Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

(In the Underworld)

Inside a room in the Amphitheater, numerous individuals sat in rows and columns, and directly in front of these people were screens which showed images of different places and people in the Shattered Dimension.

The number of people in this room was extremely close to fifty, and murmurs, whispers, laughter, scoffs, and so many other sounds could be heard in the room. The room was noisy, and although it was not all that was making noise, no one seemed to be disturbed or annoyed by the noise.

All these people were the elders, guardians, and protectors that had been sent by the forces and organizations of the Chosens. There were other people in the mix, people who were not related to any Chosen, but they were in the minority.

"That kid called Smile Reaper, and that girl called Pamela. Both of them are the true dark horses of the Underworld in the Battle of Chosens."

An elder of the Beast Taming Sect spoke towards a woman to his right. The woman was dressed in a green robe that barely hid her breasts and body. This woman was an elder of the Pleasure Sect, and a subtle furrow of her brows could be seen on her face as she stared at the screen in front of her which showed a grand battle between so many Chosens, Tainteds, and Underworld prisoners against the Throne.

The elder of the Beast Taming Sect had a dissatisfied expression on his face when he realized that he was being ignored. He was about to speak, but then a voice drifted into his ears.

"You're right, Elder Song. We already knew about Pamela because she's the hottest commodity of the Underworld and all of us already had our eyes on her… A runemaster is not somebody we can ignore or be nonchalant about."

The elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Elder Song, turned to his right, and when his eyes landed on a man with four twisted horns, vertical pupils, long black and sharp nails, and scales on his neck and arms, Elder Song muttered with a wary expression.

"Elder Cleophas."

Elder Cleophas who was of the House of Dragons gave a slight smile at Elder Song, and then he spoke.

"Just like you, her, and every other person that is here, I planned on purchasing Pamela from the Underworld. I've seen videos of her fights, and I've also read the reports of her detailed abilities, but all of that did no justice to her true capabilities and talents."

At some point, the noise in the room had subtly reduced as Elder Cleophas spoke. The attention of most was partially on the words of the Elder of the House of Dragons.

"The abilities, power, and talent she showed in her battle against one of the most terrifying Powers is immeasurable and incomprehensible. I know it, you know it, and we all know it."

Elder Cleophas paused, and then his gaze shifted to the screen in front of him. An image of the Stairs of Ascension could be seen on one side of the screen while the other side had an image of the battle against the Throne.

Although there was nothing going on in the Stairs of Ascension and it would seem strange that Elder Cleophas was observing the Stairs of Ascension, he was not the only one whose screen showed the image of the Stairs of Ascension.

Ever since they knew of the anomaly and the talent called Smile Reaper, they had been watching him and they knew that he was currently in the Stairs of Ascension. Unfortunately, they could not watch what was going on in the Stairs of Ascension due to the strange power that was surrounding it, they were curious about the result of Corey's ascension of the Stairs.

Elder Cleophas' lips curled up slightly in amusement and curiosity.

"Pamela was the Underworld prisoner we were all interested in before the Battle of Chosens began… but now… we all want this kid called Smile Reaper… A Tier 2."

Elder Cleophas slowly glanced around with a light smile on his lips, and his gaze paused on a certain row of seats. Seating on these row of seats were Underworld Officials.

"What I'm curious about is why the Underworld has very little information on this Tier 2. This has never happened before, and if not for the Battle of Chosens, I doubt we'd ever know that there was such a talented Tier 2 in the Underworld."

Elder Cleophas tilted his head as he spoke, and then a feminine voice echoed in the room.

"You've been saying so much, Cleophas, just get to the point. Say what you want to say and stop beating around the bush."

Elder Cleophas looked behind him, and his eyes landed on a woman with fiery red eyes, hair, and armor. This woman was Elder Teresa of the House of Phoenix.

"Teresa." Elder Cleophas muttered with a slightly wide grin, and Elder Teresa scowled with a disgusted expression. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Elder Cleophas chuckled softly, "I want the Tier 2, and I'm going to get him no matter what."

The moment Elder Cleophas said these words, a laugh resounded in the room.

"Funny thing to say, Cleophas. If you want the Tier 2, you need to have the resources and capabilities to acquire him."

An old man in white hair and black robes cackled with his yellow teeth shown to the world in full. This man was Elder Ainz of the Blood Clan.

"You represent just a part of the House of Dragons, Cleophas. Do you think you can go against all of us? Do you think you can go against the Empires? The Kingdoms? And the associations?."

Elder Ainz tilted his head to the side with a wide grin as he stared at Elder Cleophas who had a twisted expression of anger and annoyance.

"You have such a funny face, Cleophas. A face I desire to add to my collection." Elder Ainz chuckled, and then he turned to his right.

"Don't you think so, Pope Arzhel?"

"Hmm."

A soft and nonchalant 'hmm' drifted into the ears of those listening, and Elder Ainz's smile widened.

If Corey were here, he would instantly recognize Pope Arzhel as the Pope of the Temple of Flames.
