Eternal Thief

Chapter 925 We are not Saviors but Thieves!

Cyrus's aura suddenly erupted like a sea. His cultivation of the peak soul manifestation realm started to rise, and within a few minutes, the little guy was at the early stage of the Soul Law Comprehension Realm. 

A blue flame manifested behind him, and a phantom of an extremely ancient bird emerged that even made Eva shocked as she quickly put him down. 

But that flame phantom only lasted for a movement before the little guy's body regained its peacefulness. However, the dark blue crown of feathers on Cyrus's head had become more ethereal, as if it was made of flames and an air of majesty emit from him, which made even the Blood Ancestor shudder, and Lillian was no different. 

It was too sudden, and Cyrus had an innocent look in his tiny eyes and quickly exclaimed to Eva, who was looking at him with a stern expression, "I promise it wasn't me! It was big bro!" 

He was afraid that Eva would hang him upside down, so he quickly pinned the blame on Ace, and he wasn't lying at all. 

At this moment, Ace's jolly voice sounded in Eva's mind, "Sorry for startling you. Cyrus's cultivation is connected with me, so it wasn't his fault. You can continue, and I'm taking him away for now. I don't think there is a reason to keep him hidden any longer, and it's best for his growth as well." 

Eva was startled as it was the first time she had heard about it, and her eyes shimmered with realization, "Did this mean you've already?" 

"Heh, indeed, I'm at the law comprehension realm now. It's about time I stop holding back and end everything. I'm going to use soul search on her." Ace coldly stated before he used his soul probe on stunned Margret. 

He didn't have to wait any longer to gather information from Margret. Now, he was far stronger then. However, what happened next was completely unexpected.

Eva was quite shocked and felt a sense of loss before her eyes ignited with resolved, 'How easily he surpassed me again. I should work even harder!' 

Suddenly, Ace's grave voice sounded in her head again, "Bad news; there's some barrier stopping me from infiltrating her knowledge sea. If I try to be forceful, she'll die!" 

Eva's eyes narrowed, "Even in this realm? No wonder my abyssal brand isn't working either. It would appear whoever is behind them has to be an existence far surpassing our world's strength. Now, I'm quite sure it's related to the God of Evil Occult." 

"It seems so. Well, I guess she's destined to suffer then. You can continue, and I'll see what I can gather. I don't think the truth will hide for long. Even if we can't find it, I guess it's too bad. We are not saviors but thieves…" Ace sighed ruefully as he said matter-of-factly. 

Although he was curious about why all of this was happening, he wouldn't provoke something he couldn't handle to quench his curiosity. His purpose was stealing, not avenging the grievance of the past. 

On the contrary, Ace's eyes were now looking towards a higher platform that he was so close to achieving: Ascension! 

Mortal Sky suddenly becomes tiny in Ace's mind. 

Afterward, Ace retracted from the thief's space, and Cyrus appeared on his shoulder, just as confused as he was in the thief's space. 

"Don't worry, I've explained to your big sis. Now, we'll travel together, and you'll train with me." Ace smilingly said to Cyrus while rubbing his tiny head with his finger.

Seeing the chasm of EXP and SP, Ace smiled wryly while he was glad to see his laws progress. Lastly, his TP seemed no longer sufficient because his new goal was to acquire the Divine Talent. 

Therefore, Ace looked down on the myriad of demons who were still gobsmacked by what had happened just a few moments ago. 

His lips rose in a thievish smile, 'I guess I deserve a reward to save all of their lives.' 

The next moment, dual-color Soul Qi gushed out from his hand, which was utterly invisible to everyone, and it broke into countless soul threads and shot toward every demon's space ring!

With his 500-mile radius thief sense, every living demon was under Ace's gaze, and even the law awareness realm cultivators couldn't detect his soul threads anymore as they all wrapped around their storage space rings. 

Standing above the sky, a massive web of soul threads covered the island, and the only other person who witnessed it was little Cyrus.

Within seconds, Ace achieved what he wanted, and the next moment, with a single thought, 'Pick-pocket!' 

All the beautiful web of soul threads vanished after that, leaving behind thief symbols, and Ace's figure also faded. 

It was the first and last time those people would have even seen the legendary thief, and his mark would stay with them for their entire lives!
