"Guess I was naive. A clan that big, been around for that long… of course they'd have some crazy secrets. I should've been more careful, thought about the chance they had another supreme artifact," Rhea said, full of regret.
Darian let out a breath. "Even if you had, there's no way you could've guessed what kind of power it had. In the end, no matter what, you guys were gonna slip up and get caught."
Artifacts, like blessings, could be insanely unique and unpredictable. The difference was, artifacts came from other universes, and bringing one to Earth cost so much that only an empire could afford it.
Or… Darian could smuggle them in.
But even with the resources, finding a supreme artifact was pure luck.
That's why whenever a clan had one, it was always because the empire allowed it. The empire would pick the top clans to receive one, boosting their chances of success in high-level missions.
