Chapter 162 The Matriarch's Message



After revealing that cube to me, I didn\'t comment and immediately decided to transport the Moonlight Queen from the floor we were in to where Nysia was holed up.

I have access to private elevators that only Nysia or Lexie could use. Through that, we managed to bypass the trouble of going through normal passages.

When we entered the room, Nysia urged us to sit down first. She was staring at the screen which shows the live footage taken from surveillance cameras spread out inside the building.

After a while, she picked up her comms to contact someone.

"Lexie, block them on that floor, the others will come from behind them. They wouldn\'t be able to use a Metagen here but be prepared to use your Powergen. If you couldn\'t apprehend them, kill."

Nysia sent her orders to Lexie who could be seen on the screen using the stairs to go up to the floor where the black-cloaked figures were currently located. Though they have a way to erase their presence, the camera seemed like it could see through it. It could scan the place of the flow of Meta Energy in the surroundings.

The Anzean device which produced the Portal they used was recovered by me when we passed by it through Nysia\'s direction.

When I touched it earlier, my Adaptability gave me the information about it. Just like how most devices and inventions here were made by utilizing the Meta Energy, it was also made by utilizing another type of Energy.

What\'s surprising is that the Source Energy detected was closely related to the Meta Energy. The two energies have the same structure just that there\'s a very small diversion to it which made the difference. When it was detected by the system, it was recognized as Meta Energy.

That means I could also use Meta Energy to activate this. However, the device which is in the shape of a ring is just a part of the whole device. What we got was just the Exit Module. The Entrance Module was probably in the hands of an accomplice somewhere around 10 kilometres from where it was activated.

The downside to this device is that unless they have another set with the Entrance Module on their person, they would be stuck to where they were transported. They could walk back to where they came from but that\'s kind of stupid, right?

Also, activating the Entrance Module needed a long time to set up. That\'s why these guys who didn\'t set up an exit point for them either intended to be trapped here or someone was doing that for them.

"Moonlight Queen, I got the gist of what happened. So, what is it? Your mother\'s message."

Nysia said when she\'s done giving out her orders to the League Members. There\'s a hint of slight anger in her voice but I guess that\'s just her way to intimidate this woman beside me.

Well, if there were bugs who brought in more bugs in her house, it\'s understandable that she would be pissed. However, this was in our expectation upon knowing that the three factions would send in delegations.

Upon hearing that, Lunaria stood up in attention. Her clothes were already buttoned up again and she went back to the dignified flower that she was upon their arrival.

"Yes. Mother. She was being restricted by the two Guardians."

Without waiting for Nysia\'s question. Moonlight Queen Lunaria narrated her story. Or to be precise, the story which possibly is the biggest information we got about what led this world to be in this kind of situation.

10 years ago, when all three of the Mythic-ranks lost against Nysia, all of them became frustrated. Letting a newly advanced Mythic-rank and someone without a background to run them down like that.

Due to that, the three went silent for three years to try and power themselves up which led to the Free City of Nysia being allowed to be built completely.

After three years, they once again challenged Nysia but that time, only the four of them knew about it. They went to a desolate place where no one could interfere.

For the 2nd time, they lost against her. Which added another bitterness in their hearts.

When the Anzeans attacked again a year after that, the three of them didn\'t move out and just left everything for Nysia to handle.

Another 3 years passed and they still feel that they\'re being left behind by Nysia\'s strength.

The three already gave up on surpassing her strength and thought of leaving the planet to search outside for an opportunity for them to grow.

However, the year of the Dark World\'s invasion arrived. At first, they were observing the new enemies that suddenly appeared, also the three Heroes that suddenly turned up because of them.

Apart from Nysia who was eager to defend the world, none of the three had the energy to do that.

According to what her mother told her, during the 1st year of the Dark World Invasion wherein the Anzeans also launched their next attack, the three Mythic-ranks joined the battle, not because of their wish to defend the world but to make contact with the Dark World.

And the one who gave them that idea was none other than the current Emperor of the New Haven Empire. For them to grow stronger than Nysia, he suggested employing external help and he pointed to the new enemies which appeared to have a higher type of Energy inside them compared to the Anzeans.

As to how they did it or what really happened behind the scenes, Moonlight Queen Lunaria didn\'t have any idea or her mother didn\'t tell her. There\'s also no mention of how the Order was formed or who among the three was behind it but she confirmed that the three were working together and were receiving Dark Energies ever since 2 years ago.

Fast forward to the day where the existence of the Order was finally exposed to Nysia\'s knowledge, her Mother decided to stop colluding with the enemy. However, according to Lunaria, she was taken as a hostage by the Order by embedding that cube inside her.

Due to that, her plan to stop and expose everything to Nysia was halted.

In one way or another, she still held sway among the majority of the Confederacy. Even if the current Confederacy Head is a member of the Order, she managed to put Lunaria in the list of delegates that would be sent here.

Of course, her intention to make her daughter inform Nysia was made known to them that\'s why she was supposed to stay with Sen and not make any contact with Nysia.

However, she managed to get away and then she found me. Those black-cloaked figures were a back-up plan to kill her before she succeeded at meeting Nysia.

Though she was held hostage with that cube, the trigger to it was her making a move to any member of the Order and a switch that was in Sen\'s hand which she managed to swipe off him way before they arrived here.

"Long story short, your Mother wants to leave their organization but you became a hostage and she sent you to me. Does she want me to protect you?

"Y-you believed me?"

"Of course not. Everything still needs to be confirmed. By your story, it was the Emperor who started this all. But you never mentioned anything about the origin of the Order or what\'s the deal they have with the Anzean and those Darkbugs."

"Nysia, can I ask her a question?"

I raised my hand and interrupted their conversation.

Nysia stared at me and nodded. She understood what I was about to do.

"Go ahead."

"Lunaria. Where\'s the switch? How did you manage to get it from him?"

"H-here. I used one of my unrevealed abilities, Moonlight Refraction. I could conceal myself using it which allowed me to get it from him and change it to a fake one. He already found out that what he has on himself was fake when I separated from him earlier."

Lunaria produced a small device with a single button on it and passed it to me.

"So if I press this, that cube in your chest will break?"

"Y-yes."

Lunaria nervously nodded. Maybe she got a premonition of what I\'m about to do, she tried to reach her hand out to take the switch back from me.

However, as soon as I heard her confirmation, I decisively pressed the button and right after that, a loud cracking sound rang out in the room.

Due to my sudden action, Lunaria was dumbfounded as a look of horror on her face appeared.

And right after that, she hurriedly ripped open her clothes without bothering to unbutton it.

Upon looking at her own chest, the cube that was embedded in it really broke. The shards of it were immediately dissolved in the air as the Dark Energy that was stored in it started to expand.

"Y-you. W-why?"

All sorts of expression appeared in Lunaria\'s face as it started to distort in pain when the compressed Dark Energy started to seep through her body. She couldn\'t believe that I did that.

"So, it\'s true. What do you think, Nysia?"

"Save her, of course."

With a hand on her forehead, Nysia shook her head as she lamented my abrupt action. It looked cruel of course, but that\'s the fastest way to know if she\'s telling the truth. With this, at least we could believe some parts of her story. There\'s still a lot of gaps that we needed to fill in but the whole plot has started to form. Though without confirmation, everything will still be a theory.

"Stay still."

Upon saying that, her eyes tried to focus on me despite the pain that she was feeling as she watched how I put my hand near her chest. With my Energy Control, the Dark Energy coagulated again on the spot where the cube was before.
