Chapter 758: Grand Meeting (2)
Chapter 758: Grand Meeting (2)
Elena invited Elysia to sit in the front row of God\'s group seats. She knew they got a lot of attention, but she kept calm.
\'???\' Elena felt Xero and Oceanid staring intensely at her and Elysia, and she felt dissatisfied with it. \'What is it, shorty? And you too, sinner?\'
\'Hah? Who are you calling shorty, Sun!?\' Xero flinched. He was like a kid now, but that offended him.
\'E-eh? Are you referring the sinner to me? Why is that?\' Oceanid gasped in surprise.
\'You like to revel in worldly pleasures. I don\'t want to mention it.\' Elena snorted and no longer paid attention to those Gods.
\'My apologies, my master said that because you looked at her with a strange look. Anyway, nice to see you again, and thanks for all the hard work over the past week. We really appreciate your kindness to everyone and the world. May the good fortune is always with us.\' Elysia gave her friendly greetings to Xero, Oceanid, and Regulus via telepathy.
\'You are so kind, Elysia. We feel a responsibility to save this world with all we can from the threat of accursed creatures. You don\'t need to thank me, it\'s our job to give those monsters the punishment they deserve.\' Oceanid replied with an approving nod. According to him, this girl was much friendlier than her master or the other Goddesses.
\'Heh, meaningless words. If it wasn\'t the compulsion of that old tree, I might be meditating and recovering.\' Regulus snorted in annoyance.
\'Is it like that? Madam Lifa is here... would you like to speak to her directly?\' Elysia offered the offer with a smile. This fat red lion man was fond of grumbling, apparently.
\'Tsk, no need.\' Regulus folded his arms.
\'Well, it\'s a trivial matter. One thing that concerns me is when will we return to that planet Earth and eliminate that hateful cursed God? Rhea and your preventive actions have too many flaws because we are in a different world. He may have carried out his grand schemes and plans without you knowing it.\' Xero folded his arms with a sharp look. He was more concerned about wiping out his primary killing target.
\'Based on the schedule, we\'ll be back on Earth in two weeks. That\'s a few days before the God Game will start in late April in Earth time.\' Elysia spilled the beans regarding their schedule.
\'Two more weeks, hmm... That\'s good. I can use that time to perfect my ultimate plans to exterminate him. Hee-hee... hahaha!\' Xero laughed out loud like a great villain.
Rhea signaled to her mother and received a nod.
Lifa stood up and stretched her hand forward, and started to speak. "As we had planned, we gathered all of you here for a meeting to discuss and develop a plan regarding the complete extermination of the accursed creatures from our world, Vrelenia.
On behalf of the other divine beings, I, the Goddess of Life, will present a few things at this grand meeting.
To this day, there are still eighty-six sealed areas left. Threats from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of accursed creatures are things that threaten the safety of all creatures in our beloved world.
You may not know about history in the past because they erase most of history. Many things have changed since then.
However, racial strife arose due to the tricks and schemes of the accursed. It concerned us the most, and we wished it to end in this era.
Some of you may have heard it from Elysia, but what she said is true. You all just move according to their scenario and scheme for their invasion.
More than twenty divine beings had died, and many races had become extinct in the decisive battle a hundred thousand years ago. Everyone who used to work hand in hand to protect each other is now destroying each other on a grudge passed down from generation to generation.
Upon our further discovery, those curse-bearing monsters are an alien race from outside our world. They are known as the Ruvoid Race. Despite the accursed\'s threats, a Ruvoid God had already broken free from the sealed area and fled somewhere three weeks ago.
In the near future, at most ten weeks, we will face a brutal attack from accursed creatures that have been sealed for a hundred thousand years. The two most potent Ruvoid Gods who are still sealed shall break free.
At this meeting, we want you to participate in this peace oath. We wish a genuine peace and liberation for the best future for this world." Lifa ended her speech and took out some documents. She sent them flying to each group.
Each supreme leader in each group received the document with some complicated and mixed feelings. Some of them were aware of some of the information from the speech just now. Still, some of the information that followed was simply astonishing to receive.
"..." Alexander skimmed the document, then handed it to the Emperor next to him. He would give unconditional approval without a second thought.
"..." Arthur scratched his head and looked at the contents of the golden-bound document. The Holy Pope came along with his group for a reason. Still, there seemed to be nothing to discuss as this Pope would completely agree regardless of the outcome of this grand meeting.
"What kind of rules and conditions are these!? You\'re saying we should make peace regardless of the reasons and work together to contribute to a holy war in about ten weeks without any conditions?" A burly black Dwarf stood up to express his dissatisfaction.
"This stupid duck head!" Nuraddir facepalmed. He had already informed the other Dwarven Emperors of his plan. Still, this stupid fellow might leave an erroneous impression on the divine beings towards the dwarves.
"That\'s what it is written there. Is there anything that makes you dissatisfied with the peace oath, Dwarven Emperor, Herneth Wyvernspine?" Lifa responded in a relaxed tone, but there was an unknown pressure behind it.
"Guh!" Herneth could feel a mental pressure, but he still had to say what was on his mind while the opportunity was still there. He pointed his finger impolitely at the devil\'s group seats, to the Devil Emperor Dylan, to be precise. "It is humiliating for us to make peace with that kind of devil. You just have no idea what they did to my family decades ago. My grandfather\'s blood is still so fresh in my eyes, and so is his grudge and anger!"
"Hah, that\'s interesting. Do you want to challenge me, little man? I don\'t recall ever killing any charcoal dwarf. Did you mistake me for someone else? You want to slander me? I will not hesitate to turn you into real charcoal if you insist on that claim." Dylan frowned for a second and then responded with a vicious smirk.
"We understand your situation. Don\'t you realize that we expect a world\'s peace regardless of any reason? However, that doesn\'t mean we are forcing you to erase what has happened in the past. You can resolve that now, right here, in this arena. With a note, never pass that hatred on to your next generation." Lifa nodded in understanding with a solution based on the peace oath.
"Heehee! It\'s a coincidence to warm up to an Emperor-level being. I hate it when the weak act so arrogant. If you dare to challenge me, step down into the arena now, and I\'ll show you the vast difference between you and me." Dylan stood up and raised his palm with a grip motion.
"No killing." Elena reminded as calmly as a breeze.
"Oh, well... I could give him some relief by living but wished for dead." Dylan cleared his throat a bit.
"Hehe, that\'s good. Good thing! It would be amazing to beat up someone known as the strongest devil, black and blue. Utter fool, come down here, and I\'ll make you realize that the dwarf science is the world\'s finest!" Herneth jumped down into the arena and challenged Dylan arrogantly.
"Foolish." Dylan came down to the arena as well. He would get this done super fast and neat.
"I\'ll give you a chance to attack me first. Come and show me what the best thing you can do with your science." Dylan activated something and opened his arms wide.
"Heh, you\'ll regret it." Herneth spread his arms and pressed his fists together. Black fragments slowly wrapped themselves from his chest and spread throughout his body, except for the head.
"Herneth Wyvernspine challenges Dylan Transcendent to a mock battle of revenge completion. No rules prevent you from doing anything, but no death is allowed. Battle, start!" Nell announced the start of the fight.
"Yeah, my micromachine. Let\'s destroy that despicable dirty devil!" Herneth shot like a bullet and unleashed dozens of physical attacks in the blink of an eye.
"!!!" Sylvia gasped because she was worried about her father. However, what happened next made her relieved.
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
Dozens of physical attacks from Herneth did nothing to Dylan. The Devil Emperor was still standing tall and only responded by placing his hands on his waist as he received a barrage of punches and kicks. "That\'s all? Your time and opportunity are up, now is my counterattack."
*Boom!*
Dylan punched his opponent in the chest, creating a dark shockwave. He then chased and knocked his opponent to the ground.
"Let\'s finish him." Dylan pinned his opponent down and unleashed dozens of deadly fists. He gave a little mercy so that his opponent didn\'t die.
*Boom!*
Dylan\'s last blow made the ground crack like a spider\'s web. He then stood up and left the arena. "That is what you deserve for challenging me. If you believe I killed your grandfather, you are just a lowly chess piece dancing on the accursed scheme. Ask your Goddess, and you may be enlightened. Some of them are omniscient."
Dylan\'s feat made some higher-ups from other races gape in astonishment. The dwarf science was defeated by devil technology?
"Well, that was just the carelessness of that utter fool. He was still at the micromachine level, but his opponent had progressed to the nanomachine level. It could rival the technology in my region. No wonder that fool lost." Noraddir shook his head.
"Father!" A Dwarf jumped into the arena anxiously and worriedly, but a Fairy Goddess suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Back off." Nell gave the dwarf prince a gesture to keep his distance. She then used healing magic to heal the poor Dwarven Emperor.
Herneth was enveloped by a greenish-gold glow. His wounds and broken bones gradually healed at speed visible to the eyes.
"Yay, father, that\'s cool! I want armor like that too!" Sylvia waved her hand high.
"That\'s impossible with your girl\'s body. This nanomachine armor is only made for a strong male warrior." Dylan clicked his tongue.
"Then please make the girl\'s version of it! Ely and I would really appreciate it." Sylvia provided the best solution.
"Let\'s talk about that later." Dylan folded his arms and returned to his seat.
"..." Nuraddir\'s eyes gleamed as a brilliant idea crossed his mind.
After Nell finished healing Herneth, she sent the unconscious Dwarven Emperor to his seat before leaving.
Lifa continued the course of the event peacefully because no one else was trying to recklessly challenge anyone. She took the opportunity to explain some key points taken from the decisive battle a hundred thousand years ago via magic projection for all to see. Then, she gave some highlights of their grand plans for world peace.
After some discussion, all parties finally agreed to declare their peace oath according to the procedure. Even though they were aware of the weight of what they were going to do. The divine beings were there for everything, so why should they have doubts?
"By the name of my soul, spirit, and blood, we declare our oath to the peace oath." Everyone in every group of all races declared their vows almost simultaneously.
The golden document instantly turned into gold particles and absorbed into everyone\'s bodies. The oath was declared, and the law was implemented for all the higher-ups in every race.
