Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis and Stella traveled back to the Myriad Sect to prepare for every eventuality. Chances were high that the remaining two members of the Shining Purity Sect would attack them soon. However, even if they did, they wouldn't be a real danger.

The Myriad Sect had already won the war before it had even started.

Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Shining Purity Sect were trying to come to terms with their new reality.

They only had three Ancestral Gods, one level four Star God, and one level two Star God left. Sure, there were also some level one Star Gods outside on missions, but they wouldn't make a difference.

All the other Sects had several level two Star Gods.

The entirety of their power and future now solely relied on Austin.

"If you had simply accepted to become a level five Star God, nothing like this would have happened!" One of the Vice-Sect Masters shouted while pointing an accusatory finger at Austin. "We would have already conquered all the other Sects by now!"

Austin looked with even eyes at the Vice-Sect Master.

However, even though Austin appeared calm on the outside, he was the one that had been most shaken by the event.

He had destroyed his Sect.

"Stop trying to find someone to blame!" the actual Sect Master shouted at the Vice-Sect Master. "If that girl hasn't lied, she came from a new Sect, the Myriad Sect. They should have arrived only recently. They should have overtaken the territory of our neighbors."

"But if he had just-"

"And then what!?" the Sect Master answered with fury. "Then even our last remaining level two Star God would have been destroyed! This would have made things only worse!"

The Vice-Sect Master only grew angrier. "But if he had more power, he might have been able to see through whatever illusion had been put up! I've seen it near the end! He has attacked someone from our own Sect! That was also why there was no Judge!"

"And you think that would have made a difference?" the other Vice-Sect Master asked with a scoff. "Not even we have been able to see through the illusion. We three are all Ancestral Gods, and we haven't noticed anything! Don't try to blame Austin for our own shortcomings! The demise of the Shining Purity Sect is our fault."

The first Vice-Sect Master gritted his teeth.

However, instead of arguing, he looked to the side with a bitter expression.

He had realized that he couldn't blame this on Austin.

This was on them.

Silence.

The silence dragged on for minutes.

Everything they had worked for had been destroyed in a single day. They had built up the Shining Purity Sect for over 500,000 years!

Now, everything was gone.

This was the destructive effect that Star Gods had on their environments.

Without The Heaven Company or someone more powerful overlooking a fight, entire Sects would be decimated by a single attack.

It just needed a single slip-up for an entire Sect to be destroyed.

"What now?" the second Vice-Sect Master asked the Sect Master. "What do we do now?"

The Sect Master remained silent for a while.

Then, he sighed.
