Chapter 220: Eyes
***
Eyes.
Singular ones.
They were everywhere.
Ten in total, gazing from all directions.
They lingered in the boundless sky.
Never blinking.
One was unwavering in its vigil.
Another radiated joy.
And another harbored curiosity.
One concealed amusement.
One glinted with avarice.
Two came in a pair, one of which was lustful and the other prideful.
An envious one whispered its discontent.
A wrathful orb smoldered with anger.
And a dark one held murderous intent.
But one eye stood out from the rest.
This unique eye had an almost translucent iris, devoid of emotion, and it gazed at the man with an unsettling blankness.
Distinguished by his sharp suit, inky black hair, and eyes, the man who attracted these mysterious orbs' collective gaze sat in a lotus position.
The reason for their attention was quite simple.
He was on the verge of a significant breakthrough.
One that would mark his transition into the Seraphim rank.
The true beginning of a Celestial.
And soon, this man twitched.
An action that he hadn't done in the past months he spent cultivating.
This caught the eyes of all-not just those that floated, but those that gathered at his side.
The one to his right flinched and immediately called people over.
She was a beautiful woman, with white locks for hair and red ruby eyes.
His left was occupied by his family, his mother, a gorgeous lady, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
She beckoned her daughter to get closer.
[Them knowing where we are is simple, anyone going through a breakthrough would cause enough fluctuations in Aether for those higher powers to notice.]
[But the fact they are interested is what worries me....]
[Do you think they'll attack?] Jake asked as he joined Lyra and Lily.
[If they do, then we're dead.]
[If they don't, then one of them eventually will.]
[But again, thankfully for us, these guys lost their sense of time.]
[The day they send out someone, we'll be ready to welcome them.]
[Good news.... Finally.] Lily chimed in with some optimism.
Laura softly tapped Lily's back and said:
[Lyra dear, is Emir alright? He's taking too long....]
[You told us that the body mutation starts after his core absorbed enough Aether, but nothing
happened yet.]
Lyra glanced at her for a moment while showing a tired smile.
[Yep. But keep in mind that Emir's an enigma, so even I'm not sure what will happen...]
[What you'll all see today had never been recorded in history before....]
[The Star were very secretive with their members, which is why those geezers up there are so
interested.]
[Just keep vigilant.]
Leo, always one to add a bit of humor, couldn't resist a quip:
[Ah-so they've finally got front-row seats to a show they've always wanted to watch but
couldn't, and now they can't wait to find out the ending.]
They all proceeded to look at him with blank stares and then focused back on the eyes
surrounding them.
Lyra's gaze remained on Emir, however, as she never stopped examining his condition.
'I can't wait either.... Please be safe Emir.'
The massive floating eyes, each with its unique emotion, continued to observe the scene, their unblinking gaze an eerie presence.
Many of them radiated a sense of anticipation as if they had waited for this moment for
millenniums.
Yet they still seemed full of ancient wisdom, as if they had seen the rise and fall of countless
civilizations.
Then suddenly Emir twitched once again... causing the world to hold its breath.
