Chapter 319 - The Shadowless Council
The Shadowless Council was an extremely mysterious and secret organization that has been ruling over the Omega Galaxy behind the scene for eons.
No one knew where they can from or their ultimate goal. Their existence was so secretive that only a selected group of people were qualified to know about their existence.
Even the so-called powerful princes and young masters of the Ten Behemoths didn't have that privilege. One has to be the Emperor, the Patriarch, or the Ancestor of one of the Ten Behemoths to be qualified.
Furthermore, no one knew how many people were in the Shadowless Council. Neither did anyone know where the Shadowless Council base was located.
The Shadowless Council was full of indescribable mystery, but at the same time, it brought extreme fear to anyone who knew about their existence.
Despite being shrouded in mystery, one thing was known about the Shadowless Council. Each one of the known members or the ones that had made their appearance over the years were all Peak Paragon realm experts.
One Early Stage Paragon Realm expert was enough to create an influence as strong as the Ten Behemoth, imagine how strong a Peak Paragon Realm expert was.
Even though it was only a portion of their strength, the hidden strength of the Shadowless Council was truly staggering when seen. It wasn't a fluke that they were considered as the true ruler of the Omega Galaxy.
They were like gods who stood high above the Omega Galaxy, looking down upon all beings.
They received complete respect and fear from all the most powerful influences in the Omega Galaxy. In front of them, the Ten Behemoths were but mere child's play.
Even if it was the leaders of the Ten Behemoths who occupied the highest position in the entire Omega Galaxy, they had to bow to them and treated them as though they were their grandad.
As an organization that controlled the Omega Galaxy in the dark, the Shadowless Council rarely meddled in the affair of the Omega Galaxy.
They only made their appearance when it's time to collect the taxes and the offerings of the Ten Behemoths every ten thousand years.
They didn't have any preference and treated the Ten Behemoths equally. They didn't care whether they went to war with one another. They only cared about their taxes and offerings which was in the form of Star Energy Stone.
At the same time, they were also a ruthless bunch. For example, the Verid Empire wasn't always the Tenth Behemoth of the Omega Galaxy but a different influence known as the Sylvar Empire. However, on one unfortunate day, the entire Imperial Family of the Sylvar Empire was slaughtered.
No one knew what happened. This unfortunate event remained a mystery till today. Only a selected few knew the truth about that event which was that the Sylvar Empire failed to amass the appropriate number of Star Energy Stones to pay their taxes and therefore was destroyed by the Shadowless Council because of that.
That was how little the Shadowless Council cared about the Ten Behemoths and how powerful they were as well. They only cared about Star Energy Stones and made a move only when their interest was being threatened.
However, for the first time in thousands of years, the members of the Shadowless Council finally called for a meeting to discuss a new threat.
The meeting was taking place in an exceedingly mysterious area or a hidden realm. An area that could not be spied on or entered without permission.
One would find a sea of twinkling and shining stars in the sky where the meeting was taking place. It looked quite beautiful and breathtaking as if jewels were embedded up above.
A giant platform was floating in the sky along with a roundtable. Numerous shades or projections of people could be seen sitting there with their aura converged.
There were twelve of them in total. However, even though their main bodies weren't present, their style, and posture alone showed these shades and projections were all supreme existences capable of sweeping through the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe.
"Inevitable, what's so urgent that you have to call for a meeting." Blurted out one of the projections with an angry tone. From the sound of its voice, one could tell that it was a man. Furthermore, his voice was cold and emotionless.
Meanwhile, the shade known as Inevitable turned to at him. Despite not being his true body, Inevitable's glare was still quite frightening. Even an early stage Paragon realm expert would find their legs becoming soft being the recipient of that glare.
"We have a problem, a big problem. I am sure you guys have already heard about the Akasha Spiritual World and the Akasha Contractors." Said the man known as Inevitable in a solemn tone.
"I've heard about it. But what's so great about it that you have to summon all of us for." Asked one of the shades.
Even though they rarely meddled in the affair of the Omega Galaxy, they knew about everything that was going on. As such, they were all aware of the sudden appearance of this Akasha Spiritual World and Akasha Contractors.
However, they didn't pay much attention as they didn't think that it was a threat to them or their organization. Unless something posed a threat to them, they're too lazy to take care of it.
"I am afraid that the Akasha Spiritual World and the Akasha Contractors are more dangerous and powerful than you guys can imagine." Answered the man as Inevitable in a solemn tone.
After saying that, Inevitable proceeded on explaining everything he knew about the Akasha Spiritual World and the Akasha Contractors.
Meanwhile, even though one could not see the expression of the shades sitting at the round table, one could tell that they were all totally stunned and shocked as Inevitable was telling about the Akasha Spiritual World and the Akasha Contractors.
Each of the words coming out of Inevitable's mouth about the Akasha Spiritual World was like a string of bombshells, continuously blowing up in their minds.
After talking about twenty minutes, Inevitable finally stopped. Meanwhile, the projections of the people sitting at the round table sat there blankly, unable to fully digest all this mind-blowing information about the Akasha Spiritual World.
"Inevitable, how do you know all that." Suddenly asked one of the shades and broke the awkward silence.
Not only that person, almost every one of them was thinking the same thing because Inevitable's explanation about the Akasha Spiritual World was so detail and precise. It was as though he had been there before or was one of the so-called contractors.
Listening to his compatriot's question as well as seeing the look on the others' faces, Inevitable could tell what they were all thinking as he said." Don't worry, I am not a Contractor. However, my disciple is."
"You mean that little brat known as Nightmare, the leader of the Night Owl Guild."
"Yeah. I got all the information about the Akasha Spiritual World as well as how it operates from him." Answered Inevitable.
"Anyway, The Akasha Spiritual World is a major threat to us. We need to get rid of them as soon as possible and dismantle their influence into the Omega Galaxy before it's too late." He added in a murderous tone.
"Inevitable, you are the brain of the Shadowless Council and even the high levels of the Shadowless Sect view you highly because of your intelligence, I am assuming that you already have a plan." Said one of the shades with a hint of expectation in his voice.
"Indeed. I already have the perfect plan to take care of them which is why I call for all of you here." Answered Inevitable in a sinister tone.
"Ohh yeah, let's hear it."
