RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 87: THE BRANCHED PATH

As a person who had been an Emperor in his previous life, Myro knew very clearly about opening the gate that was to destroy the surrounding dimension to connect it with another dimension. This was similar to teleportation, but opening the gate itself did not have as many restrictions as teleportation which required a lot of energy as well as at least 2 connected teleportation circles. Not to mention they were in the Dragon Ruins, therefore teleportation would be useless here.

So the choice of Myro and the others just opened the gate by themselves, Myro never thought that Cristi would know this as well.

In addition, the change in Cristi is not just that. Rather he already possessed the strength of a tier 1 Martial Emperor, let alone the illusion of his being extremely powerful.

Based on the previous explanation of Cristi, he had already spread his illusionary mice throughout the Poison Emperor Sect for a week without anyone knowing. This means that even though the Emperors were tricked by Cristi, even Cristi had moved his mouse to come to Cesi disguised as the 4th Elder.

At that time Cesi who had just disguised himself as the 4th Elder only thought that he was a mouse that was quite large, even though it was an illusionary mouse belonging to Gristi.

So since the 3 Emperors met each other and ate together at night, Cesi had already killed the 4th Elder and disguised himself, without him knowing that Cristi had seen all of his movements.

Myro nodded slightly "Then we have to move quickly, as long as we are late then this Dragon Ruins will collapse first!".

Cristi nodded, only Martial Emperors can open the gates themselves.

Myro and Gristi both suppressed the closed gate in front of them before draining the might of an extremely powerful Martial Emperor.

"Shelf!".

The closed gate was opened again, and Kristi was now filled with sweat all over her body as opening this gate consumed a lot of energy.

Especially Myro's worst situation, he had fought against Cesi who really made him tired and injured. Now that he had to spend a lot of energy again to open the gate, Myro was now feeling very tired and could lose consciousness at any moment.

But Myro endured the tiredness and said to all the people "Going through this gate, I have connected this gate in our inn room before. It is better that we move quickly, as long as we are slow then the purpose of this gate might be able to change to another place".

Everyone immediately agreed, both Cristi and Zhi Li jumped first according to Myro's direction. After that Taurus who brought Cesi came through the gate before Myro finally came through, the gate that had been opened was finally closed again.

"Shelf!".

The Dragon Ruins that had survived for hundreds or even thousands of years had finally collapsed, a dragon sealing place made by Emperors had already disappeared.

...----------------...

Myro felt his entire body swirling around, this was the pressure exerted by the dimensional hole.

When Myro felt that there was no problem and the end of the dimensional hole would arrive, a shocking thing happened.

The road in front of Myro suddenly turned in another direction, a dimensional hole that had previously aimed for the inn where Myro was previously located changing its destination.

Not only that, the dimensional hole only changed when Zhi Li and Cristi had already passed, therefore only Myro and Taurus were exposed to the shocking change of this dimensional hole.

Bad luck had not stopped until there, the situation around Myro which was previously filled with bright rays turned dark, dark, there were even thunderbolts moving amidst the darkness as well as terrifying strength all around

A huge wound appeared on Myro's stomach, he couldn't help but stare into the dark area around with the gloomy face of a "Dimension Storm? Why at a time like this?".

"Master, if it continues like this then we will die first before passing through this dimensional storm!", cried Taurus full of panic, he could feel how terrifying this dimensional storm was. Except for an Emperor-level figure, no one could resist this dimensional storm that was a force from nature, not man-made. Even an Emperor would not fight a dimensional storm head-on, as long as there was an opportunity to dodge then the brand would definitely choose another path.

"There is no other choice!", Myro bitterly said "My fate today is really bad, Leo! Use fire protection techniques!".

"I understand!", said Leo who immediately poured out a large amount of fire that covered Myro and Taurus' bodies.

The reason Myro almost never let Leo wear this ability except life and death is that Leo has to rest for a week after this ability is used, therefore Myro cannot wear it carelessly.

But in place of Leo who rested for a week, the strength and defense of people who use this fire increased by 100%.

They continued to survive in the dimensional storm until the entire surrounding area returned bright.

Leo who had joined Myro from earlier disappeared, he returned to Myro's body to rest.

While Myro slowly lost his consciousness before arriving at the destination of this dimensional hole, after all the use of Leo's last power also consumed Myro's power, moreover, Myro got a big wound on his stomach that was quite fatal.

Before Myro closed his eyes completely, he saw the figure of a giant human that was probably hundreds to thousands of meters tall, this giant figure was also the one who changed the direction of the Myro dimensional hole.

Seeing the giant, Myro was a bit bitter because the figure was also the holy-level spirit of Promotheus, a Titan or giant who had stolen the fire of Zeus.

"Did this Promotheus also belong to the evil Myro followers? Why does he have so many followers with his powerful spirit? Even after being sealed, he still brought a lot of trouble to me through his followers" Myro said bitterly before losing his consciousness.

...----------------...

In the middle of an unknown forest, a young woman in hunter's clothes chases after a deer very quickly, while her father follows her from behind.

When the young woman pulled her bow to shoot the arrow, the deer immediately dodged which made the arrow fail to hit the deer.

"Why? Why do I always fail?", said the woman who was very angry because she never got any hunting, even though her father was a great hunter.

His father walked over and tried to reduce the young woman's grief "No problem, everyone has to learn before they can become experts. Father in the past even though he had to undergo many failures, wait! Pona, aren't you listening to your father's advice?".

The woman's father became displeased to learn that her son Pona had not heard her advice at all, but was busy staring at a sizable hole in the ground.

Pona who heard his father's screams just kept staring at the hole while saying doubtfully "Dad, I don't know if my eyes are wrong or if this is true, but it looks like I found 2 bodies here".

"Corpse? What's so weird? Every day there will always be animal corpses in this forest" Pona's father said slightly shaking his head, why was his son so surprised to find animal corpses in the forest like this?

"Dad, it looks like it's the bodies of 2 humans" Pona said doubtfully at what he was looking at.
