Eternal Thief

Sky Heart Plains, in the great wilderness, Ace’s hooded figure was sitting between a large tree crown crossed-legged.

At this moment, his body jolted, and he opened his eyes; a hint of fear and rage flashed past them, ‘That bastard really means it!’

Although it was his avatar who experienced the ghastly power of the rain of death, he could still feel it like he had experienced it with his own body. But he was even more furious about the Cruse of Destruction’s cruelty.

Even though he was ruthless himself, he still wasn’t at the level where he would sacrifice an entire world just to open some path. But there was no longer any point of regretting.

He did what he had to do to survive, but the weight of all those lives was something he had to live with from now on, and he vowed to take revenge on Cruse of Destruction if he ever got the chance. This was all he could do with his current power. ℴ

Still, he couldn’t forget about the power of darkness and that rain. It was something he had never experienced before. That kind of power could put anyone in despair.

“System, do you know anything about Cruse of Destruction, or did you see everyone in my avatar?” Ace tried probing the system, but all he received was the usual cold silence.

Furrowing his brows, he could only give up, and the next moment, the Avatar appeared in front of him. There was the same aura of the rain on him, and its clothes were slowly decaying while its skin was wilting. Its aura was also a little unstable.

Ace quickly got rid of those contaminated clothes, and he tried to use his heavy Qi to quell that strange energy in the avatar. But to his surprise, he wasn’t able to force that energy out of the avatar’s body, which meant even his heavenly Qi was ineffective, or it was simply too weak.

Nonetheless, Ace noticed that his heavenly Qi could at least stop this energy from spreading, but his expression was solemn. He didn’t dare to imagine what kind of entity this Cruse of Destruction was and this strange power.

If he let this energy run rampant on the avatar, it would eventually perish, which was not good, so he quickly stowed it into his soul space and let the heavenly Qi envelop it.

Although his heavenly Qi wasn’t effective, it didn’t mean it was completely helpless; that energy seemed to be slowly vanishing as long as it came into contact with his heavenly Qi.

But even with that speed, it would take at least a few years before he could fully get rid of that energy and use his avatar without worry again. He had to pay a painful price for his boldness.

Still, even if he can’t use his avatar for fighting or infiltrating anymore, he can use it to increase his law comprehension all the same. But his trump card was gone, which made Ace somewhat bitter.

‘I need to hurry. What if that thing comes running here once it failed to open that path of his?’ Ace felt great pressure weighing down his mind.

Ace didn’t let Aliya or Thomas out at this moment since they didn’t have anything to do here right now, and he was still wandering in this wilderness. So, he told them to continue to cultivate after sending them to the Thief’s Space.

But he also moved Lillian into the living space ring because there were some guests other than Thomas and Aliya within the ring, and Lillian was quite familiar with them. However, he not only gave her strict instructions but also sternly warned her not to reveal anything about him or anything related to him, or it wouldn’t be good for anyone.

After this small event, Ace used his full speed to fly toward the east and hoped to find some city.

Just like that, three weeks passed in a flash, and today, Ace finally saw the end of this wilderness. Although he didn’t know where it was, this place was filled with powerful demonic beasts. He even sensed late-stage law awareness realm beasts the other day, so this place was quite dangerous for 99% of the population of the Sky Heart Plains.

After exiting the great wilderness, Ace appeared with a clear plan and soon found a paved road that was clearly man-made and followed it.

Half a day later at night, Ace finally spotted the city walls, and without hesitation, he flew in. The city was protected by a grade-6 formation, but it can’t stop Ace’s advance or detect his infiltration.

The city was quite small, and after Ace stole one of the citizen’s memories, he found that this was a small city called Oli City, located at the edge of the Wonder Kingdom.

Ace didn’t have much interest in it, so he quickly flew towards the Space Highway Building. Although it only had a low-level space teleportation service, it was enough for him to head to the large city.

The next location was another small city. He continued until he reached a large city with a middle-level teleportation server and headed directly to the Wonder Kingdom’s capital city.

However, when he tries to go to the empire’s capital city by using high-level teleportation, he finds that all the teleportation channels to the Imperial City have been closed for over three months, and only someone with Imperial Noble status or a very influential figure like the kingdom’s crown prince or a king could use it.

Ace was surprised, but he didn’t inquire about the reason; instead, he used a soul probe directly to find out what was happening when he was wandering out in the great wilderness. .

‘Imperial Edict… thieveries all over the empire… Evil Venerable Angel?’ Ace quickly grasped the situation and finally understood the reason behind this tight security.

He could guess that this imperial edict was released because of him since it was issued at the same time when Sofia fled the Ancient Sky Battlefield, which also means she had revealed his information to the imperial family. Now, there were no guards against him.

As for those thieves, there wasn’t even a need to guess who was causing them since all the names of those thieves were Ace very familiar with, well, except for one.

Ace had a strange expression, ‘Evil Venerable Angel? How did she come up with this name? Well, I’ll ask once I found her.’

A gentle smile appeared on his face as he felt quite relieved after finding out that Eva was doing great. Despite her uncanny prowess, he was still a little worried for her, but now he wasn’t anymore.

‘Well, since everyone is having so much fun, it’s about time I join the stage.’

Ace smiled thievishly before he vanished in the darkness of night…
