Chapter 486: The Grand Zeno Appears in Person
Seeing Uchiha Dali create yet another clone, the Grand Priest's expression instantly turned serious.
He could clearly sense that this clone was nothing like the dozens from before.
Noticing his reaction, Uchiha Dali glanced at the entity-clone beside him and said, "You deal with him. I'm going to have a little fun with the Grand Zeno."
"Relax. Once I finish him, I'll meet up with you."
After saying that, the clone locked onto the Grand Priest with an unwavering stare.
The Grand Priest didn't attack immediately. Instead, curiosity appeared in his eyes. "This clone isn't temporary. It's… real. How did you accomplish that?"
Uchiha Dali let out a cold laugh. "So the great Grand Priest doesn't know everything."
"But you don't need to know."
"Take care of him."
Leaving those words behind, Uchiha Dali turned to leave.
But the Grand Priest appeared in front of him in an instant.
"You won't leave unless I fall, Uchiha Dali. The Grand Zeno will not allow you to trespass."
Uchiha Dali's gaze turned icy.
"I thought you would eventually submit to me, Grand Priest."
"But now I see you're just blind… unable to recognize the situation."
"I will defeat the Grand Zeno. And as for you…"
He glanced toward his clone.
The clone appeared in front of the Grand Priest and spoke: "You're making this complicated. I'm your opponent—focus!"
The words barely landed before he launched a fierce assault.
Forced to respond, the Grand Priest no longer had time to stop Uchiha Dali. He channeled his full strength, meeting the entity clone head-on.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Dali's true body turned and prepared to head toward the Grand Zeno's divine realm.
But just as he was about to depart, two figures suddenly emerged from the darkness.
They didn't arrive from any direction—they appeared as if grown upward from the void itself.
Uchiha Dali paused and looked carefully.
It was the Grand Zeno's two attendants.
And just as they appeared, the Grand Zeno himself appeared before them.
"Uchiha Dali."
"Oh, it's you. Good—you saved me the trouble of coming to find you."
Uchiha Dali snorted coldly.
The Grand Zeno wasn't angered.
But his two attendants' expressions changed instantly.
"How dare you!!"
"You show disrespect to the Grand Zeno!?"
Both charged forward, long spears thrusting toward Uchiha Dali.
Uchiha Dali allowed his body to shift into an intangible state, nullifying the strike.
The two attendants froze in shock—but immediately gathered divine energy and attacked again.
This time, their power struck him cleanly.
Uchiha Dali slid backward several meters before stopping, then casually dusted off his shoulder.
"So, Kamui is useless in this place after all."
"It's like comparing a grade-schooler to a world-class athlete…"
He thought silently to himself.
The Grand Zeno did nothing to stop his attendants and instead asked calmly, "Uchiha Dali—why are you doing all of this?"
"No reason. I just felt like it."
Uchiha Dali answered without hesitation.
"But I don't believe that. No one attacks the gods for no purpose."
"What do you want?"
The Grand Zeno's voice was calm—almost patient.
This time, Uchiha Dali's expression also became serious. He wasn't as dismissive as earlier.
A cold breath escaped him. "This is all because of you, Grand Zeno. Isn't it thanks to you that things became like this?"
"Me?"
The Grand Zeno sounded genuinely confused.
But his two attendants couldn't stand hearing such disrespectful words a second longer.
They roared angrily and rushed forward again—two forces equal to the Grand Priest attacking in perfect synchronization.
Even facing just one of them, Uchiha Dali might not win.
But now both attacked together, and they were clearly trained specifically for the Grand Zeno's protection—their combined fighting power was far greater than the sum of two individuals.
Within moments, Uchiha Dali was at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, the Grand Zeno spoke again, unbothered by the fight before him:
"Why do you say that? What mistake did I make, Uchiha Dali?"
But this time, Uchiha Dali didn't respond.
He was fully occupied blocking rapid, overwhelming attacks.
The Grand Zeno frowned slightly.
"No one is listening to me…"
"You two. Stop."
His tone shifted—not loud, but sharp enough to cut the air.
Both attendants immediately froze and withdrew, their expressions stiff with fear.
"Yes, Grand Zeno…"
The two, who moments ago were overwhelming forces, now obediently stood still—like timid kittens.
"Now," the Grand Zeno said as he turned his attention fully to Uchiha Dali, "tell me. Why do you blame me?"
"What did I do wrong?"
He looked determined to hear the answer.
Uchiha Dali let out a cold exhale from his nose.
"You really look clueless."
"So fine—let me make it clear."
"From the moment I arrived here, you people kept calling me a 'god from the lower dimension.'"
"That condescending tone wasn't even something you tried to hide."
"You created this universe—and yet you divided it into superior and inferior realms."
"You created hierarchies. You created the so-called 'higher and lower dimensions.'"
"And because of that, the lives in those worlds were also labeled as noble or inferior."
"So tell me, Grand Zeno—"
"Isn't all of this the result of your will?"
