Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon
Chapter 772 - 772: 769: Protected

"Brother?"

This word reverberated in Pope Arzhel's mind severally, and his expression slowly twisted into something dark and demonic as he looked at Tessa.

No.

She was no longer Tessa, but Anna.

If Corey were here, he would instantly recognize his younger sister despite the changes that could be seen on her face.

She no longer had the face of a girl in her teens. Instead, she had the face of a woman in her early twenties.

Not only had her face changed, her entire aura and being had changed from that of Tessa. It was like Tessa had vanished completely.

Anna's expression was one of struggle, shock, disbelief, and sadness as she stared at the black glowing orb in Pope Arzhel's hand, before shifting her gaze in the direction Corey had left.

Tears fell from her face, and then a small smile appeared on her lips... Although with visible difficulty.

"So... You're alive... And you're even a lot stronger than before... I'm glad.... I'm so glad."

Anna sobbed with a happy smile, and then a roar resounded in the surroundings.

"GET BACK IN THERE AND GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER!"

Anna shook, and with a tinge of fear in her gaze, she looked at Pope Arzhel.

Although she tried to hide her fear, her right arm could still be seen trembling.

She held her trembling arm and looked at Pope Arzhel with a defiant and determined gaze.

Pope Arzhel gritted his teeth with his gaze emitting thick murderous intent.

"Damned bitch. Why don't you just give up?"

Anna said nothing in response, and just looked at Pope Arzhel with the same defiant gaze.

Pope Arzhel's eyes flashed with a fiery red demonic light, and then he vanished.

He reappeared in front of Anna in the blink of an eye with his right hand going for her neck and a murderous light in his eyes.

Anna calmly looked at Pope Arzhel's approaching hand, and then she closed her eyes.

Pope Arzhel squeezed her neck, and a few seconds later, his eyes widened and he could not help but let out a curse.

"Bitch."

Anna's face slowly squirmed, and after three seconds, it transformed back to Tessa's face.

Tessa's aura also came back, and Anna's aura and entire existed slowly receded.

Tessa's eyes fluttered open, and when Pope Arzhel saw this, he quickly removed his hand from Tessa's neck.

Tessa frowned when she was fully conscious, and a second later, she touched her neck.

"Did you choke her?"

Pope Arzhel scoffed with a deep frown, and chose not to answer his daughter's question directly, but to reply her question with a question of his.

"Why did you allow her to come out?"

Tessa's frown deepened as she rubbed her neck. She could feel a slight stinging pain from her neck, and she knew that her father, no, the monster in front of her had definitely choked her body.

She was about to curse at the Pope, but when she saw the Pope's expression and gaze, especially the hidden light of madness that most would not notice but she knew of, she could not help but shiver subconsciously.

She was afraid.

She clicked her tongue and folded her arms while looking to the side, "It was too sudden. The moment you mentioned the name of that boy, her soul was shaken and she woke up immediately."

"Hmm?" Pope Arzhel frowned.

"Who is that boy by the way? And how come he's her brother? Do you know him?"

Tessa asked with a curious and complicated expression as she looked at Pope Arzhel who also had a pondering expression.

"I know him, but..."

Just as Pope Arzhel was speaking, he paused and looked at the Supreme Treasure in his hands.

The Supreme Treasure had been flashing with a golden light, and with every flash, the energy he had accumulated in the Supreme Treasure was used up.

He was used to this, however, he realized to his horror that the Supreme Treasure was still consuming energy despite the fact that there was only fifteen percent of the energy left.

First of all, it was already shocking to him that to just get the name of Corey, who was just a mere Tier 3 required the Supreme Treasure to use 55% of the energy in it.

And the energy in the Supreme Treasure was still draining... And at a rapid pace at that.

Pope Arzhel's expression was changing with every second that passed.

"What is this absurdity?"

Pope Arzhel mumbled in disbelief, and then the remaining energy in the Supreme Treasure suddenly depleted to 3%.

Pope Arzhel's expression drastically changed as his instincts screamed at him.

"MOVE!"

Pope Arzhel roared, and Tessa instantly flew towards another direction while manipulating the space around her.

Pope Arzhel threw the Supreme Treasure upward with all he had, and without wasting a single second, he flew in Tessa's direction.

Meanwhile, as the Supreme Treasure flew past several atmospheric layers of the sky, the energy in the Supreme Treasure slowly decreased from 3 to 2 to 1, and then to 0.

It was like a timer, and as the energy remaining in the Supreme Treasure reached zero, the Supreme Treasure was in the Exosphere of New Earth.

Although it might just look like a normal orb, the Supreme Treasure had weight.

The golden runes on the black orb flashed continuously, and then some moments later, it exploded.

A bright flash that was even brighter than the sun appeared in the sky of New Earth.

To those who could see it, it was like another sun had appeared in New Earth, and if not for the new 'sun' receding, many people would have believed that another sun was truly going to appear on New Earth.

Meanwhile, the two individuals who were responsible for this phenomenon had expressions of immense relief as they looked in the direction of the explosion.

Pope Arzhel and Tessa had lots of sweat dripping from their foreheads as they panted with hints of fear in their gazes.

"What just happened?"

Tessa asked, and Pope Arzhel replied solemnly.

"The Universal System protected us and the entire universe."
