MIGHT AS WELL BE OP-Chapter 468: The Triarchs Of Reality

In a distant direction, far removed from the military base where the war raged with unending chaos.

Shards of light materialized from the void, slowly converging and coalescing into humanoid forms, until three figures stood fully formed.

They were the Three Warlords, beings of immense power who moved only at the command of the Supreme Monarchs.

They did not need to assert their presence. The very fabric of the world instinctively bowed to their existence, for they stood on a plane far beyond normal comprehension.

Before them stood three figures, skin as dark as obsidian, eyes glowing crimson, and tails swaying rhythmically from side to side.

They were the three direct subordinates of the Demon Monarch, en route to the military base before being intercepted by the Warlords.

The Warlords could not permit their clash to unfold within the base's remnants. Though the structures had already crumbled into ruin, that was inconsequential. What truly mattered were the soldiers.

Buildings could be rebuilt in days or months, but forging warriors from raw recruits required years of discipline, experience, and sacrifice.

A battle between these six, Warlords and the Demon Monarch's elite, would devastate everything beyond recovery.

"Hooo… To think you would intercept us here, O Great Warlords"

One of the demon subordinates said, her voice laced with mockery as her crimson gaze swept over the figures before her.

"It seems your Supreme Monarch have informed you of our movements"

Another added, his tone calm, unsurprised, as though all had unfolded precisely as expected.

"It's been decades since any of you moved personally"

The third demon remarked with a crooked smile.

"Perhaps you've grown weary of listening to your own heartbeat echo in stillness"

None of the Warlords offered a reply. They floated in silence, exuding an eerie, utter calmness. No words passed between them, for there was no need.

Their very presence spoke volumes. The fact that the demon subordinates had personally intervened rendered the situation absolute: a battle was inevitable, not a matter of chance.

To the Warlords, words were unnecessary. They did not indulge in idle conversation, such was not their way.

"You remain silent, as always. Hmph… very well"

The female Demon subordinate stepped forward, her voice smooth yet laced with threat.

"Just return the Crown, and we'll depart. There's no need to reduce your entire military base to ash"

At her words, at the mention of complete annihilation, the Warlords showed no reaction.

Not a blink. Not a twitch. Their expressions remained carved in stone, untouched by provocation.

Another of the demon subordinates let out a low chuckle.

"Enough of this hollow exchange. Let's spill blood. No retreating like last time"

As the second Demon subordinate spoke, a surge of killing intent erupted from his body, tearing into the sky and sweeping across the landscape like a storm.

The other two followed without hesitation, unleashing their own murderous aura. Each wave of intent collided and fused, amplifying the pressure until the very air seemed to rupture under the weight.

Space quivered as if in fear. The earth trembled beneath their feet.

The wind fell silent. Even the leaves in the trees froze mid-drift, nature itself holding its breath.

The Three Warlords remained utterly unmoved.

They released no killing intent, no dramatic flourish of power.

Such theatrics were beneath them.

Slaying demons was no more significant than drawing breath. There was no need to assert dominance, no need to flare their presence.

Any being tainted by chaos energy was fated to perish by their hands. That truth required no announcement.

It was not hatred. It was not vengeance.

It was duty, pure and absolute.

In perfect silence, they drew their weapons.

One wielded twin hammers, each forged to shatter mountains.

Another unsheathed twin short swords, their edges gleaming with quiet lethality.

The last brandished twin scimitars, curved like fangs and whispering with anticipation.

The Three Warlords were bound by more than power, they were siblings by blood. Triplets of the Phoenix race, born together and inseparable from the moment they took their first breath.

They had never known separation, nor would they ever accept it.

From childhood to the battlefield, they walked a single path. They entered the Omni-Peak Academy as one, and for all three years of their admission, they held the top three rankings with unbending dominance, untouchable, unmatched.

Upon graduation, they enlisted in the military together. Assigned to the same unit, they undertook every mission side by side, rose through the ranks in perfect synchrony, and earned their titles in shared glory.

They lived as one. Shared the same room. Slept in the same bed.

Even now, as Warlords feared across worlds, that unbroken bond remained unchanged.

They had even planed to reject any promotion to the rank of Supreme Monarch should their battle prowess ever touch such scale, aware that only one Supreme Monarch could preside over a military base at a time.

Accepting such a rank would mean severing their unbreakable bond, a sacrifice none of them were willing to make.

They did everything together, moved as one, united in purpose and spirit.

Yet, this unwavering unity gave rise to a widespread misconception: that they were incapable of fighting independently.

This misconception constantly led their enemies to devise strategies aimed at separating them, forcing each to fight alone. But none could have been more mistaken.

Each Warlord fought as though they were a force unto themselves, independent and deadly.

Their individual abilities blazed with unique brilliance, each movement precise and lethal.

They fought not as siblings, but as merciless agents of destruction, intent on annihilation, erasure, and total obliteration.

The Demon subordinates had made this very error during their first encounter with the triplet Warlords.

Their underestimation cost them dearly, resulting in a crushing defeat that left them no choice but to flee.

The three were born with gifts that set them apart, talents that elevated them to the pinnacle of their generation.

Talents that forged their identities.

Talents that defined their very existence.

Creation. Destruction. Transformation.

These were the Talents they embodied since their awakening.

The world may have long since forgotten their individual names, but together they carried a title that echoed through the ages.

The Triarchs Of Reality.

As the Warlords drew their weapons, their intent manifested with palpable force, weaving around their arms and blades like living shadows.

Not a single word was spoken. None was needed, after all, action speaks louder than words.

Tension thickened, the very air convulsing in anticipation. The world itself seemed to hold its breath, caught in the gravity of their presence.

They had yet to move. They had yet to strike.

But the world already knew.

Creation, Destruction, Transformation would follow after this battle.
