Chapter 231 The Meeting of Gods! Part-3.
The details about the demon general Azazel's assassination mission appeared on the hologram.
"Eight years ago, Ashtel invaded a hidden hideout of the demon army and killed the demon General Azazel, we all know about that and we all gave our approval for this mission during an alliance meeting…" (Ryul)
At Ryul's words, the Dwarf representative asked in a doubtful tone.
"Does that mission have any relevance to this calamity?"
Ryul nodded his head and said in a solemn tone.
"Originally we thought that all demons that were present near Azazel had died in that attack, but just a month ago, one of the demons whose dead body was recorded as missing in that mission, was found alive…" (Ryul)
Ryul waved his hand again and the picture and details about a certain demon prince appeared on the hologram.
"This is a royal demon… a demon prince named Alverto Chronos perdere… and we all know what it means to have 'Chronos' in his name…" (Ryul)
Hearing Ryul's words, several of the older SS rankers were visibly shocked.
"Exactly, this demon has the talent to awaken the demi-god level authority 'Chronos' if he became an SS-ranker in the future…" (Ryul)
"And we all know the terror that the last 'Chronos' authority holder created… we had to sacrifice five SS-rankers to deal with that guy… that's why we must not let him grow up…" (Ryul)
"This demon was supposed to have died in that assassination mission eight years ago, but he somehow escaped alive and has now reached the peak of S-rank, it might not be long before he ascends to rank SS…" (Ryul)
The more everyone heard Ryul talk the more they became frustrated and depressed.
Ryul once again waved his hand and the hologram showed the image of a city in ruins with corpses scattered all over the destroyed city.
"Right after this demon escaped, he organized a large-scale massacre in the 'Drift City' of the human empire… and the sudden increase in miasma and mana density also started exactly around that time…" (Ryul)
"It's too much a coincidence to think that there's no relation in these two events…" (Ryul)
"Moreover, when this demon appeared a month ago, we sent an investigation team after his sudden appearance and we have found that an underground cave was filled with massive amounts of corruption, it's likely his work too…" (Ryul)
Yes, the reason why that 'Tree of Blood' got corrupted and why Alverto appeared there was all his scheme.
That dark black mud was actually a condensed form of Corruption, that's why Aaron was so shocked to see that mud.
Alverto had been slowly corrupting the 'tree of blood' for years as he wanted it to spit out the 'fragment'.
The 'Tree of Blood' was eventually not able to withstand such huge amounts of corruption and ended up giving that 'fragment' to Zach hurriedly.
Alverto immediately sensed the 'transfer' of a 'fragment' and directly teleported there to look for the new owner of the 'fragment'.
A 'Fragment' can only be transferred by two methods, either the owner gives it willingly or the owner gets killed by someone.
The killer will get hold of the 'fragment' if he kills the previous owner of the fragment.
Alverto did exactly that, he laid out a plan and killed off Zach to get hold of the 'Fragment'.
The fact that Zach and others were outside the city was even more beneficial to him, otherwise, he would have had to kill the S-ranker stationed at Oaklum first before getting rid of Zach.
"I request you all to keep an eye open for this demon, if any of you see him, you are allowed to kill him on sight!" (Ryul)
"If he really is related to this current 'calamity' then we need to deal with him as fast as possible!" (Ryul)
Suddenly the Orc representative asked.
"Can't we just organize a similar mission to the Azazel one?"
"No, we can't… we have used that tactic once already and it would be ineffective on the demon king this time… he won't be fooled by the same trick twice…" (Ryul)
"Moreover, after that previous mission, the demon king likely would have moved the military information documents from his palace to some other hidden location…" (Ryul)
"This increases the problems by a lot…" (Ashtel)
"Yes… we have no other way but to look for him ourselves… that's why I am requesting you all to keep an eye on him…" (Ryul)
...
"Next is the topic of guarding…" (Ryul)
"Every race that has at least two or more SS-rankers must send one of their SS-rankers to patrol the outer edges of the solar system…" (Ryul)
No one questioned why Ryul was asking for such a ridiculous thing.
Now that they all knew about the inevitable calamity, they knew that more monsters from the outside of the solar system would try to make their way in.
To stop them or at least keep their number minimal, more SS-
rankers will need to be dispatched to the outer edges of the Solar system.
"We don't want the planets of our solar system to sustain excessive damage, so we need to keep those invading monsters at bay… the tragedy that happened at 'Neptune' must not happen again…" (Ryul)
In today's world, there's no planet called Neptune anymore as it was destroyed during the thousand-year war.
Five SS-rank dungeons opened all at the same time near 'Neptune' and the alliance had to dispatch ten SS-rankers to keep all SS-rank monsters that were flooding out of those dungeons.
That battle stretched over thousands of kilometers eventually, the planet was not able to withstand such an insane amount of disturbances in the space-time fabric and it ended up getting destroyed.
The broken debris of that planet still orbit the sun in a newly formed asteroid belt.
Fortunately, the SS-rankers of that time didn't let any stray asteroid strike Earth.
"We can certainly build a new planet in its place but as it's an empty area with only asteroids right now, we have been using that place as a second line of defense after the outer edge of the Solar System…" (Ryul)
The alliance currently lays out three lines of defense.
First is the hundreds of space probes that wander around at the outer edge of the solar system. They send back data in case any monster tries to invade the solar system.
Then the second line of defense is situated in the orbit where 'Neptune' used to be.
Right now there's a gigantic space station situated in that place and at least three SS-rankers stay there all year long.
That space station controls all the search probes that are spread out throughout the solar system and in case any new dungeon opens, this space station is the first place that detects them.
The alliance dispatches their SS-rankers from this place most of the time when they want to deal with the matter of the solar system.
In case of a war, SS-rankers fight in this massive empty orbit or they go outside the solar system to sort out their personal fights.
(Nicolas and the Orc king fought in this orbit during that fifty-year war, eventually, they both died there…)
If SS-rankers fought on Earth the collateral damage caused by their fights would destroy the planet, that's why all SS-
rankers are not allowed to fight near the planets.
They must follow the rules of the alliance and go to that massive empty orbit to sort out their grudges.
This is a way for the alliance to keep all of its members in check.
None of the members want the planet Earth to get destroyed as it's a perfect place to stay.
Even the demons don't dare to destroy this planet as this planet is located right at the center of the place that is filled with the densest miasma.
Destruction of planet Earth will be very unfavorable for any race that's living here.
This is also one of the reasons why even after having such advanced technology, they don't want to leave this planet.
In the whole 'Milky Way' galaxy, this place has the densest amount of mana.
If they go somewhere else, giving birth to a new SS-ranker without enough mana to condense will be near impossible.
All of the races want to protect and hold their ground in this place.
No one wants to leave this planet even though they have to suffer from endless dungeon gates and monster invasions.
The benefit this place brings to awakeners is just that good after all.
Before the first SS-rankers appeared the mana in this place was thinner, only after the mana became dense did people get to ascend to a higher realm.
What today's world doesn't know is that this is similarly true for the realm above SS.
The mana density currently is nowhere near where it can support the ascension of an SSS ranker, but all of this may change with the appearance of this sudden mana and miasma 'condensing' phenomena.
