Chapter 354: Destination Rion

"Could it be you are a disciple of my senior brothers?" he asked with a bit surprised voice.

Nyssa’s expression didn’t change, but a faint flicker danced in her violet eyes—whether amusement or acknowledgement, it was hard to tell.

She gave a slight nod, her gaze unwavering. "I am a disciple of the fourth master, Dream Controller. Nice to meet you, Sixth Uncle Master."

Apollo blinked. "Dream Controller?" The name echoed in his mind like a half-forgotten myth.

As for what he knows, his five senior brothers are so mysterious that most people within the Sky Tower didn’t even know they existed. If he didn’t meet Fifth Brother, he would remain oblivious to it.

But their strength is definitely terrifying, as he can still remember the mysterious power of the fifth brother, which, even at his current strength, feels unfathomable.

And Nyssa...

She was the disciple of the fourth senior brother.

He looked at her again and felt indeed she wasn’t simple.

His voice softened. "Then... we’re kin, in a way. It’s an honour to meet you." Although he never met the fourth senior brother, still it had a connection with him.

Nyssa’s lips curved slightly—not a full smile, but a faint acknowledgement. The heat in her aura dimmed a little, as if a barrier had lowered by the width of a hair.

"Master told me to seek you out," she said calmly. "He told me to tell you that you have to return to your home, Rion, quickly."

"Apollo’s expression shifted subtly—eyes narrowing, posture tightening by a degree imperceptible to the ordinary eye.

"Rion...?"

He was a bit surprised why the fourth senior brother would urge him to go back, but he agreed quickly. As it was already quite some time since he came to Sky Tower, it was really time to return and meet with his family.

"Alright, I will directly go there after leaving this place."

Nyssa gave no reply, but the faint light in her violet eyes dimmed, as if she had passed on a burden that was never hers to carry. She stepped back half a pace, the formality restored.

"I’ve delivered the message. The rest... is your choice, Sixth Uncle Master."

Apollo looked at her for a moment longer. "Thank you."

But before another word could pass between them—

Space twisted.

A ripple, like light dancing on broken glass, shimmered in the air behind them.

Kronos.

The second-ranked genius from the mysterious space-time island had arrived.

His presence was silent, but the air bent subtly around him. Time and space distorted, folding inward with unnatural calm. He wore simple robes, silver-lined and devoid of ornamentation, yet each of his steps caused micro-vibrations in the surrounding energy field—as if even the world itself struggled to synchronise with him.

Apollo turned, blue eyes locking with those deep mysterious eyes of Kronos.

"You are Apollo," Kronos said, voice placid, yet each syllable weighed like the ticking of a celestial clock.

"Interesting, you seemed to have an aura of space and time around you." He seemed to feel the mysterious power around Apollo arousing his interest.

He just smiled after hearing Kronos’s words and was surprised that he was this sharp. As before, only the transcendent being, the Black Flame sovereign realm, noticed this, but now it was still felt by the genius from Space-time Island.

It was clear he had a deep understanding of space-time.

His gaze slowly swept over Kronos, and as he focused, he sensed it—dense, layered space energy, tightly controlled, orbiting the other like an invisible fortress. Not raw power, but cultivated understanding. It wasn’t just that Kronos had entered the third layer of space laws—he had likely stabilised it.

’No... this comprehension... he might have already touched the boundary of the fourth layer,’ Apollo thought with narrowed eyes. ’At the very least, he’s far beyond someone who just stepped into it.’

For a moment, Apollo felt a ripple of respect.

’If I fought him now... and he used all his strength, I likely wouldn’t win.’

His strength should have surpassed most peak eternal gods, but he was unsure by how much.

But that thought didn’t bring discouragement. Instead, it stirred something.

Excitement.

The kind that only true contenders could give each other.

Kronos, meanwhile, seemed to be observing Apollo with equal intensity. Though his expression was flat.

Beside him, Nyssa—silent all this while—glanced at both of them.

The pressure between the two didn’t explode but condensed—like the surface tension of two stars brushing past each other, neither yielding, neither escalating. A mutual acknowledgement among titans who had not yet fought but might.

This small interaction cannot remain unnoticed by all the geniuses and seniors of the three universes present here, as the three of them were the strongest geniuses of this era.

But as the pressure between them seemed to increase, Kronos stopped. "We will meet again," he said after a long moment, voice quiet.

"Looking forward to it," Apollo answered, eyes gleaming.

And just like that, the moment passed. But its echo lingered, imprinted in the minds of everyone watching. They all knew when the next time they would meet, it would definitely shake the three universes.

The party ended, and slowly the different forces in the universes either started to leave or stayed for some time to discuss business with the Void Ganges continent.

Apollo also left with other Sky Tower members, as he wanted to return to Rion quickly.

He boarded the spaceship and returned to the Sky Tower.

The journey back to Sky Tower was swift, and though many awaited his return, eager to curry favour or offer congratulations, Apollo didn’t linger.

Time was precious.

He moved like a man with a mission.

He didn’t stay for much time and brought some strong guardians from the lunar star Moon. Although his strength was strong enough, sometimes having strong subordinates is equally necessary.

With a few quiet instructions and the authority granted by his position and achievements, he selected a squad of elite guardians from the Lunar Star Moon.

With Lunar Star Moon elites following in his shadow—each clad in silvery black robes and carrying concealed divine artifacts—Apollo set off once more.

Destination - Rion.
