Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 341 340: Betrayed

?The door to the elevators opened, and when Corey saw what was before him, he raised his brows.

In front of Corey was a white pathway that was 50m long, and at the end of this pathway was a large and thick black metal door with countless locks and chains on it. Corey observed the large door and then looked around for a few seconds.

Although it seemed like there was nothing from where he was to the large metallic door, Corey could perceive magical fluctuations all around him.

He guessed that the magical fluctuations he sensed were the formations and systems the Vice-Lord talked about. He knew that if the formations and systems attacked, nothing could save him.

Corey released a sigh, and then he walked out of the elevator and took a step onto the white pathway.

He heard the sound of the elevator door closing, and he turned around.

"The elevator didn't go away. That's good."

Corey mumbled, and then he continued walking towards the large metallic door.

As Corey walked, his U-Watch would beep at certain times, and although confused, Corey guessed that the formations and systems around him were checking if he had the authorization to get closer to the large black metallic gate.

Luckily for Corey, he faced no issue, and after walking for approximately a minute, he stood before the large metallic door.

Beep Beep Beep

His U-Watch made continuous beeping sounds, and Corey frowned and raised his hand.

The moment he raised his arm, a light appeared from his U-Watch, and to his surprise, bafflement, and intrigue, the large and thick metallic door with the locks and chains turned translucent.

Before Corey could be in awe of the mechanism behind the 'disappearance' of the large and thick metallic door, his eyes caught sight of what was behind the door, and he raised his brows.

"Huh? It's you?"

A familiar voice flowed into his ears, and his lips curled into a smile.

"Long time no see Divine."

Corey said as he gazed at the pitiful state of the source of the voice.

Behind the incorporeal form of the large black metallic gate was a prison cell so bright that an average tier 3 and below would most likely go blind or temporarily lose sight after looking at it.

Luckily for Corey, his eyes were beyond ordinary, so this amount of light did not affect him at all.

However, Corey could not help but wonder why the Vice-Lord did not tell him about the extremely bright light he would encounter.

Pushing such thoughts to a Star of Consciousness, Corey observed the room.

It did not even take up to a second for Corey to finish his observation of the room, and Corey could only come up with a single word for the room.

Empty.

The prison cell was utterly white, and apart from Divine, who was chained up inside, there was no other thing inside the room.

It was just a completely bright white room.

Corey tried to find the source of the bright light, but to his surprise, he realized that the source of the light was the walls.

"Interesting."

Corey softly spoke, then he looked at Divine, who was looking at him with a strained smile.

"I think you've seen better days."

Corey spoke with an amused tone as he gazed at Divine, whose current condition could be summarized into one word.

Terrible.

His once robust frame now bore the scars of relentless torment, with contusions marring every visible inch of his exposed skin.

Deep, purplish bruises painted a harrowing mosaic on his face, blending with swollen eyes that spoke of the countless beatings he had received.

Chains clung to his emaciated limbs and body, and when Corey glanced at his feet, Corey saw his bleeding toes, which were absent of their nails and some flesh.

Tattered remnants of his clothing hung from his battered form, and Corey could have sworn he saw his little brother from the large hole in the middle of his shorts.

Corey calmly looked away, and he looked into Divine's eyes.

Unsurprisingly, despite the physical toil, a flicker of resilience and confidence lingered in his hollow gaze, and Corey, seeing that, smiled.

Cough Cough

"Took you long enough to come."

Divine coughed, then he spoke with a light smile as he rested his chained and battered body on a white wall.

"How did you know I'll be the one to come meet you?"

Corey asked with folded arms, and Divine chuckled.

"Dave gave me a prophesy before my attempted robbery. He said a man with otherworldly dual-colored eyes would see me in a completely white room." Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Divine paused, then looked into Corey's light blue and deep violet eyes.

"I didn't understand what his prophesy meant in the beginning. But, when I was brought here, I remembered his words, and I remembered Rosa telling me that you had dual-colored eyes after your isolation in her home."

"After I remembered this, I knew you were the one he referred to in his prophecy."

Divine said, and Corey was slightly surprised.

He thought that his coming to meet Divine was part of Divine's plan or something extraordinary that Divine came up with.

But, surprisingly, it was all because of Dave's prophesy.

'The power of prophecy huh'

Corey rubbed his chin, then he released a soft sigh and spoke:

"What happened to you?"

Corey asked the most important question on his mind, and Divine's smile widened slightly.

"Like the great and astute captain that I am, I was able to get information on the whereabouts of the Lord of the Central Area. I also got information about his home."

As Divine spoke, his smile widened little by little.

"I got so much information before I attempted the robbery, and nothing should have made me fail."

Divine paused, and then he released a soft chuckle.

"But guess what, I failed. The Central Lord was in his home like he had been waiting for me from the moment I stepped into the Central Area."

Divine chuckled once again, then he looked into Corey's eyes and spoke with a cold tone.

"I was betrayed."
