Chapter 732: Cooling Down the Spark
"We\'re not here to see you fighting. Do you remember what we\'re here for? Devil Emperor Dylan, may I know about what\'s been going on in this area recently?" Nell cut off the spark between Alexander and Dylan.
"Hm, thanks to your anti-curse mechanism, our efforts to exterminate accursed creatures went smoothly." Dylan snorted and replied in a neutral tone.
"Hm, is it like that? We accidentally encountered a battalion of devils led by two Devil Emperors on the southern border of this region. I heard they are conducting an experimental operation to exterminate the accursed creatures even though the sealed area hasn\'t collapsed yet. You were the one who ordered them, right?" Nell folded her arms and tapped her cheek with her finger as if she was trying to remember something.
"..." Dylan couldn\'t evade or deny it. He heaved a subtle sigh and admitted it without hesitation. "Yeah, they acted under my command. However, I got reports a while ago that the extermination operation was successful, with no monsters surviving. It was total destruction."
"Hmm, I suggest you not carry out such an operation again. You are lucky because your target is relatively weak and only seals weak monsters this time. However, a terrible explosion will occur if you try to forcefully destroy a strong sealed area. The place will reflect the level of damage you inflict and annihilate everyone in the vicinity." Nell sighed and opened her palm. She made an example demonstration projection with her magic for easy explanation.
"..." Dylan was silent for a moment. If a super bomb were to be detonated into a sealed area, but the effects would only be suffered by his forces, it would end in a stupid suicide operation.
"Sealed areas have different characteristics, huh… The stronger ones can reflect attacks of any kind?" Dylan put his hand to his chin.
"Yes, no one can enter or leave while the top-tier sealed area is active. An Emperor-level attack has no chance." Nell assured with a subtle nod.
"I see. I will cancel the operation." Dylan nodded in understanding.
"Thank you for your understanding." Nell appreciated the quick understanding.
"Nee, nee, father~ Did you know? A powerful explosion alone has a high probability of throwing many accursed creatures in all directions. Super bombs are a bad idea to eradicate hordes of cursed monsters. Still, they may be quite effective against the big and strong monsters, like sea monsters. Your operation just now actually had one cursed shadow monster survive. Luckily, we were there, and Sea God took care of that." Sylvia expressed her opinion and continued to report what happened on the scene.
"Hmm? Is it really like that, Sylvia?" Dylan frowned. It was different from the report he received.
"Yup, are you doubting your daughter now because of that fire chicken?" Sylvia pouted. She still took cover behind Elysia for safety because she knew her father was reluctant to face her bestie again.
"Hm, you were there at the time, right? Very well, I\'ll take that for granted and move on." Dylan didn\'t mind that much since he would leave the operation because of the warning. "So, you all came here just to find out how our progress and battle records are?"
"Hm, yeah. We traveled the world in the past two weeks. We intended to stop our divine reinforcements until a time of absolute emergency. Therefore, we need to check all the continents and what the higher-ups are doing." Nell confirmed that.
"Fair enough, but why did you come here with this old bone?" Dylan glanced at Alexander as if he was looking at an insignificant object.
"In a few days, we will hold a high-level meeting with the presence of higher-ups from all continents. I want devils and humans not to create a scene of strife again. Please get along well because we will enforce peace and cooperation, no matter will it is coercive or peaceful. Let\'s end this blood feud. Don\'t pass it on to the next generation. The world still has a future, and we don\'t want you to destroy each other." Nell hovered between Alexander and Dylan. She tried to reconcile the two sides, whether they liked it or not.
"..." Alexander fell silent, and so did Dylan. Their hands seemed to be moved by an unknown force, and they shook hands, regardless of their will.
"Mm~ Isn\'t it good after making up? See, Ella and Sylvia can even be good friends. Why can\'t you do it?" Nell nodded happily. However, a clash of energies between dark and holy magic suddenly occurred between Dylan and Alexander, very much to her surprise.
"It\'s been so long since we\'ve seen each other face to face and exchanged clashes. What happens if I refuse peace with you humans?" Dylan smirked and squeezed Alexander\'s hand with his Devil Emperor\'s force.
"Hmm, the last time we met was when you ran away with your tail between your legs. My wife died at the hands of a devil, and your wife died at the hands of a human. Isn\'t that a coincidence? What do you think if it wasn\'t for the Goddess of Blessings\' will? I will open the door of penance for you, devils?" Alexander retaliated with his holy magic. He might look old, but that didn\'t mean his strength was fading.
Suddenly, a heavenly golden lady emerged from the golden light particles glittered with glory. She walked over gracefully and patted Alexander and Dylan on the head with a magic folding fan.
She revoked Nell\'s magic and took some distance before speaking wisely. "You refuse to admit that it was a conspiracy with the most likely interference of a third party? Those creatures are already laughing because you dance on their palms. You are old, and your brain is clouded with hatred. How about calming yourself down for a moment?
Little one, please don\'t force your will like that. You\'ve learned your lessons, right? Even if your intentions are good, you are too hasty, and it will have the opposite effect due to the wrong way of handling it.
It\'s fine if you two refuse peace, but your ego can disadvantage your race because other races willingly agreed to our plan. Hmm~ have you ever seen a real hell of the apocalypse with the risk of extinction?"
Alexander and Dylan were tensed by the Goddess of Light\'s sudden arrival. Moreover, she ended her speech with something like a threat!
"Well, that\'s good. One thing comes to mind when you think with a cool head. You may already know that this world was once inhabited by dozens of different races who lived peacefully, but what do we have now? There were still a dozen Emperor-level accursed creatures, hundreds of Saint and Spirit ones, and countless weaker ones. The three Ruvoid Gods were also still alive. What do you think, will we be victorious in that decisive battle?" Elena rested her cheek against her hand while glancing up slightly.
"..." This time, everyone fell silent at the question.
"Very well, we still have a few days for the high-level meeting. You agreed to this beforehand, right? Then, keep your promise and make peace. That\'s enough to play in the Ruvoid Race game. This world needs to be free from their invasion." Elena put her hands together with a subtle smile adorning her face.
Dylan and Alexander couldn\'t help but sigh. But, they no longer had any energy clashes like before. They no longer looked at each other with provocation, but they just didn\'t want to speak, only a silent approval.
"Heh, all other races sometimes act like clown monkeys with banana brains. My Beast Race hates humans for a certain reason, but who would have thought that humans and devils would get to the point of rejecting an undeniable truth and drowning in that ridiculous scheme. Let\'s say it\'s true because of the interference of third parties, namely those cursed monsters\' God. If so, you\'re just the clown monkeys on a stage show." Regulus sneered with contempt. His parable sounded a bit weird, but it made sense.
"Hmm, who is this blistered swollen lion? Is he an Underworld\'s Spirit Beast?" Dylan pointed at the red lion.
"Huh!? What do you call me, albino horned mongrel?" Regulus was offended.
"He is the Beast God." Elysia introduced the red lion politely.
"Hmm..." Dylan scanned the so-called Beast God from the bag down. For some reason, he felt quite disappointed. The last time he was on the Beast Continent, he only talked to the Beast God without meeting face to face, but the one before his eyes was far from his expectations.
"Never mind, come to one of my study rooms if you want to see our military report. And, for you, Sylvia-" Dylan changed the subject immediately and pointed to his daughter.
"You can\'t try to punish me, father. I\'m with Ely and the others, bwee!" Sylvia took cover behind Elysia again and stuck out her tongue.
"Hmph, follow me and don\'t touch anything, especially you humans." Dylan stared intently at Alexander\'s group before walking out of the hall.
"Let\'s go?" Elysia walked first with Elena and invited the others to come along.
For the next few moments, Nell and Oceanid updated their information on what was happening on the Devil Continent. Dylan did not hesitate to share even some secret information that was not published because he had received help from this divine group several times.
\'Ahh~ We have now put teleportation markers on all major continents. After this, we need to do an exclusive training program for you, Ely.\' Elena was bored and sat down on the sofa.
\'Mm, we\'ll be returning to the Human Continent soon for that training program. You\'re also in the training program, right?\' Elysia sat beside Elena.
\'Heehee~\' Elena just chuckled in her mind.
\'No way... I thought we\'d train together. It\'s just me?\' Elysia widened her eyes in disbelief.
\'No worry, I will be your exclusive instructor.\' Elena patted Elysia\'s back.
