150 Birth of the Cicada

Neither the stele nor Dolma had warned Harun about the purple-eyed expert's identity or looks. All he knew was that he possessed the Eye of Sovereign Fate, created the Tantric Exaltation Mantra and killed the Holy One. However, one look at that expert—at Golden Cicada—gave Harun all the answers he needed, enabling him to support his previous guesses with irrefutable evidence. 

Both experts sat on lotus thrones, facing one another with drastically opposed stances. Standing on the sidelines, Harun watched the two engage in a heated debate. More accurately, as Golden Cicada raged, the Holy One stayed cool-headed.

"Akanista, you raving, fanatical autocrat, what have you done?!" Golden Cicada snapped at the nun, who raised her eyebrows in a lopsided slope. Rainbow-colored silkworms floated around her lotus throne, each writhing in orbs of raw energy.
