Capítulo 28: Chapter 28 : Concern

"This year's saplings are very promising," said an old man with a deep, aged voice, sitting in a magnificent hall above the clouds. The figures sitting across from each other in lavish chairs seemed to be in deep conversation.

"I didn't expect such a generation, so many geniuses… Could the prophecy really come true?" he continued, his voice seeming to echo from the end of time and space.

The faces of the figures, including the old man, were shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen clearly. Even their aura and presence were overwhelming and incomprehensible.

When his words resonated, the hall fell silent for a moment as if everyone had gone deep into thought.

"We all know about the prophecy, but according to it, the hero will return. Yet, there's still no sign of her" another voice replied, just as aged and filled with the highs and lows of time.

"Who knows? We're talking about the hero. After the hero king, she is the second greatest hero in history," a woman's voice suddenly rang out. It was seductive, gentle, and alluring.

Once again, the hall fell into thought. The woman's point was valid; perhaps the hero was hiding and chose not to reveal herself for now.

All the individuals in the hall were one of the most powerful beings in the world. Naturally, they were all aware of the event that had taken place three hundred years ago.

However, even they didn't know why the Church had suddenly decided to execute and betray the hero.

"I'm still puzzled by how the Church wasn't punished by the gods," the old man sighed.

The chosen hero of all the gods had been sentenced to death by the Church, yet they faced no divine retribution.

"Enough, this matter doesn't concern us. We have other concerns at present," suddenly, a male voice filled with authority and power rang out.

The man's seat was higher than the others, and it seemed as though he held a much higher position in the hall than anyone else.

Everyone nodded in silent agreement and dismissed the topic. They understood the implied warning from the Great One's sudden interruption.

Discussing such matters could attract the attention of other beings, and even with their immense power, they couldn't afford to take any risks.

"We were talking about the saplings of this generation. The future of the twins looks very promising, especially since they even have God's blessing. What do you think?" the old man continued.

"They are indeed talented, but my focus is on Olivia. Along with her talent, she is extremely hardworking," another voice chimed in.

"Haha, that girl is really hardworking, but she's a bit stubborn and proud," said an old woman, who seemed to hold a favorable view of Olivia.

"I don't think she's as stubborn anymore, especially after she was beaten by the twins and the illegitimate child," one of the figures suddenly remarked. The moment the words left his mouth, all eyes were on him.

"Did you mean that boy? He really managed to defeat Olivia?" they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"I couldn't believe it either, but the girl's father told me so. He said, according to her, the battle was extremely one-sided."

For a moment, surprise flashed in their eyes. The illegitimate child, in their view, was just a defeated and completely untalented child.

They hadn't expected him to be able to stand up to even one of Olivia's strikes.

"He's right," a voice, which had been silent until now, rang out suddenly.

"That kid's aura is far from normal. When the trial was about to began, I felt his aura," the figure continued.

"So why hasn't there been any news about him until now? Olivia is extremely talented and powerful. If someone of his age could defeat her, then that person must be extremely talented as well!" The Great Elder spoke, his tone unreadable, leaving them unsure whether he was angry or indifferent.

No one could answer him because there was no answer.

However, suddenly, the appearance of figures at the starting point of the trial saved them from the situation, and they no longer had to respond to the Great Elder.

"Why are they here? Is it already over?" someone asked.

"Maybe the trials weren't that difficult," another suggested.

"But where are Olivia and the twins then?" They all frowned, and two of them quickly vanished from their seats.

"Did we just exit the trial?" Two newly awakened figures looked at each other and sighed in relief.

It wasn't just them; the current thoughts of all the newly awakened individuals who had exited the trial were the same: calmness and relief.

They weren't foolish enough to think they could survive a seven-star nightmare.

"Where are the twins?" Suddenly, the space in front of them warped, and two figures with a strong, powerful presence emerged.

"We pay our respects to the Elders," all the newly awakened individuals immediately bowed upon seeing the two figures who had appeared.

"Answer the question: Where are the twins?" Benjamin asked with a frown and seriousness. The twins held great value for both the family and the council.

"Well…" One of the newly awakened stepped forward and began explaining everything.

"An SSS-level awakened one? Seven-star nightmare?" Benjamin and the other figure were increasingly shocked with each word they heard.

"Haha, the Vorhelm family has a genius with SSS-level talent," the old man beside Benjamin laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Finally, after centuries, an SSS-level talent had appeared, and moreover, it belonged to the Vorhelm family. How could he not be thrilled?

"Was it shown or said who awakened such a talent?" Benjamin, still excited, suddenly asked.

"No, but it's probably either Lord Liam or Lady Emma," the person answered.

"Most likely, only one of them could have such talent and potential," the old man couldn't control himself and almost ran off to inform the most powerful pillars of the family about this news.

"But the twins aren't here. Does it mean they participated in the seven-star nightmare?" Benjamin frowned. No matter how talented they were, the seven-star nightmare meant certain death.

"Yes, damn it! I forgot about the seven-star nightmare!" The old man's excitement vanished, replaced by anger and worry.

They exchanged looks, then warped the space and disappeared, heading off to report the news to the highest authorities of the family.

Even if they had to use their divine-level treasures, they would save the twins. They absolutely couldn't allow even a scratch to befall a genius with SSS-level talent.
