Rule Smelting, Preparing for the Sixth Ring

"More than one Dominator had noticed it?" Richard exclaimed softly.

"Of course."

Curse Crown's tone remained unhurried. With a casual wave, he blocked the Dimensional Power aftershocks caused by the Mayfly Dominator devouring the dimension.

"The Civilization Devourer breaking free from its seal caused a disturbance in fate, enough for every Dominator in the entire World Cluster who had studied fate to sense it.

Those of us nearby could sense that tremor of fate even as Great Wizards.

Even after being sealed for a million years, it was still this powerful.

It was hard to imagine how the Supreme Beings had sealed this thing in the first place."

"It wasn't just the Supreme Beings." Richard suddenly spoke. "The ones who sealed this... Civilization Devourer were an entire Civilization Alliance.

Our speculation about the previous civilization's alliance was correct. That previous civilization really did have a Civilization Alliance formed by three powerful civilizations."

"Oh?" Curse Crown was slightly startled. "Where did you learn this? Did you find ruins that proved it?"

Richard pointed toward the Myriad Machines Dimension in the distance, which was being devoured.

"The ruins are right there—a Doomsday Seed Base built by a Civilization Alliance. Unfortunately, there isn't a single living person inside. There's only..."

"Technology! That damned bug!"

Curse Crown suddenly cursed. As a wizard, his thirst for knowledge was instinctive.

A vast treasury of knowledge lay before him, yet all he could do was watch it be destroyed. The pain of it was like knives twisting through his heart.

Suddenly, Curse Crown sharply turned toward Richard. Beneath his hood, his multicolored pupils seemed to hold flowing currents of fate.

"Child, how much technology did you take?"

Though he was merely an avatar, the terrifying pressure of a Level 8 Dominator still made Richard's entire body tremble.
