The Empyreal Gem Master

Was it not overkill?

This was the question that a red-haired, fiery Nebulae Ruler asked as she looked at a man seated in a meditative position, leaves floating around him as he seemed to exude life.

His identity was special.

He was one of the few Rulers within the Star Alliance to have comprehended and entirely assimilated the Covenant of Life.

An extremely high tier of a Covenant along the lines of Death, among a few others.

This Nebulae Ruler, known as the Arbiter, was one of the close confidants of the one who steered the direction of the Star Alliance!

His hair was bathed with a green light of brilliance as he shook his head while looking ahead where the outline of a Realm was slowly coming to fruition.

Around it, other vessels could be seen as they held the majesty and aura of none other than the Dark Rule!

"Sometimes, a heavy force is required to crush all opposition."

…!

As he said these words.

Up ahead, the newly stationed Rulers from the Dark Rule were alerted as the periphery of this void of space began to buzz with activity, the figure of the Dark Sword with two other Stellar Dark Rulers who were sent over flying out to meet the vessels of the Star Alliance that came to a stop a few dozens of miles away!

The Arbiter had the authority of Life surge around him as he harrumphed while pointing ahead.

"See? They have already gathered multiple Stellar Rulers to protect this criminal that began all of this. I do not doubt that a Stellar Nebulae Ruler may also be on their way here from the lands of the Dark Rule. Let us quickly nip this in the bud before any changes occur. Move out!"

WAA!

As the command was given, the forces within the Vessels displayed themselves as two Nebulae Rulers and 5 Stellar Rulers appeared outside, surrounded by weaker Rulers behind them, as none of that mattered!

What did matter were the two Nebulae Rulers.

What they represented.

The moment the Dark Sword saw them, his gaze turned ashen as he lost all color.

On the Gem Sockets of the foremost beings, the dazzling allure of Nebulaes were what caused him to feel dread!

Clusters of stars.

Those were genuine clusters of stars within the bodies of two beings!

The Arbiter had a cold gaze as he looked towards the distant Star Realm, his body lighting up with brilliance as a dazzling verdant tree began to sprout from his body and spread out all around, imposing a heavy sense of pressure as he spoke out.

"Where is the killer that began all of this? You let him behind behind his little star like a rat?"

…!

His voice felt ancient.

The massive tree growing from him radiated a terrifying authority of life- as if it would entirely decide the veracity of life for any nearby stars with a mere flick of its branches as it grew to be over 100 miles!

It was a heavy show of power.

Before it, even the Dark Sword found it hard to speak as his expression remained ugly.

He was calculating how to get out of this as the Nebulae Ruler he had asked to be sent over from the Dark Rule had still not arrived!

But at this moment…

"I have never been called a rat before…"

In the void where no sound should be able to travel, a voice filled with calmness and authority bloomed alongside the appearance of Alexander.

He was called a killer.

Which was not necessarily wrong, but he only killed to protect himself and the Realm that held millions upon millions of lives he did not know and may not necessarily care for…but there was also his family there.

The Alfanians he didn't get to know that well. The Dragons of the Dragoisles he had been killing.

The Humans…the remnants of the Four Ascendant Human Bloodlines, were still scattered and not gathered together!

All of this and more stood behind him within Ephesus, as this was the only thing he protected.

He looked at the two Nebulae Rulers and the clusters of stars shining and spinning on their chest.

The pressure they radiated was heavy, but…

His Super Red Giant Covenant Star had just formed as he wondered. How would it compare to the much smaller clusters of Stars on Nebulae Rulers?

The cold gazed man surrounded with an intense and regal allure of the authority of Life looked ready to strike out at any moment as before he did so, Alexander wanted to try something.

He looked towards the two Nebulae Rulers as he spoke.

"Stellar Ruler Bartholomew came here and was blinded with rage from seeing a Dark Ruler of his most hated foe and sought to destroy the Realm behind me. My family. All lived within it. Should I have not retaliated? Should I have just lay down and let everything be destroyed?"

…!

His voice was far too calm in front of Two Nebulae Rulers, but not a lot of people picked this up!

Behind him, Dark Ruler Masako and others who had arrived from the Dark Rule gathered.

Ahead of him, he stared at two Nebulae Rulers and other Rulers from the Star Alliance as the man surrounded by the massive stellar verdant tree replied coldly.

"No. You had the right to defend yourself. To protect what you deem important to you."

Shocking words that even caused the other Rulers to stare in shock echoed out, but this being continued.

"Just as I also have a right to fight for the interests of the Star Alliance. And right now, it is to eradicate the one known to be the initiator of the War. Unfortunately, the realm behind you and all the lifeforms within it will also have to perish due to this unfortunate event."

…!

Alexander looked at this being calmly as he said this.

"I see."

He had expected it.

As he came across more and more Rulers, he understood their intent and mentality more and more!

So, at this moment, he sighed while looking at this being and the red-haired Nebulae Ruler beside him.

"Then I will give you a courtesy that I did not give you to Bartholomew. I will give you a warning. You must have a family yourself. You, and those Rulers around you. People who will miss you dearly when you are gone. For the sake of your families, turn around right now. Because if you make any move against me, many will be mourning you in the future to come!"

WAA!
