With Judas and Dhaka's help, the Godhunter Alliance slowly came to a decision. Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser would head towards the Han family's Pandemonium, Tuckamore and Judas would head towards Logue, Regis, Miller, and Isaiah would deal with Ossora, and the remaining Hegemons would deal with Tyre and Wasis.
All in all, the twelve Hegemons of the Godhunter Alliance were clearly stronger than the Fringe. Given the Godhunter Alliance's strength, the Five Sovereigns of the Fringe wouldn't stand a chance against them.
After the decision was made, the twelve Hegemons gathered their subordinates and split into five groups, heading towards the Fringe from five different directions.
On Dhaka's side were Asser and Dagmar, three overgod experts. Even though Dagmar had expended a lot of his energy, Asser and Dhaka still had plenty of experts under their command. With Salas leading the way, it was clear that they had the upper hand in this attack on the Pandemonium.
After splitting up with the other Hegemons and heading towards the Han family's Pandemonium for a while, Salas suddenly said, "The Pandemonium where the Han family resides is protected by many powerful barriers. Tanai is shrouded in poisonous mist all year round, making it very difficult to deal with. Back when I led my subordinates to attack the Pandemonium, Brian wasn't there. Even so, I suffered heavy losses and failed to destroy the Pandemonium! "
The battle was about to begin and information was of utmost importance. Dhaka and Asser listened attentively to Salas's recount of the Pandemonium's situation.
Dagmar was the only one who seemed a little distracted. His eyes glowed with venomous light like a viper's. Before Salas could finish, Dagmar interrupted, "Salas, it's just a small valley. No matter how many barriers there are, can it withstand the four of us?"
"I don't know, but after I entered the valley, I was trapped by a strange power for a long time." In the past, Salas had always been wary of Dagmar. But ever since Dagmar's personality had changed due to the Quintessence Shard, Salas had started to look down on him. In Salas's eyes, Dagmar who couldn't think calmly was crazy, but he wasn't afraid of him.
"A strange power?" Dagmar sneered. His snake-like eyes glanced at Salas and ridiculed, "Salas, don't tell me you're too weak? How can the power of a valley trap an Overgod like you? "
Salas snorted in displeasure and said angrily, "Dagmar, it's up to you whether you believe me or not. I'm just narrating my experiences. In any case, I don't have many people participating in this operation. Don't blame me for not reminding you when your men die! "
"Dagmar, we've fought Brian in the Misty Sea. You should know that he's different from us. Also, you've known Han Hao for a long time, and you've fought him before. You should know that Han Hao has some kind of energy that we don't understand, right? " Dhaka said solemnly, "This time, not only do we have to destroy Pandemonium and kill Brian, Han Hao and the others, we can't afford to lose too much. You know how cunning Gandalf is. If we lose too much power in the Han family, we'll be at a disadvantage when it comes to splitting the profits. So, let's just listen to Salas's suggestion. "
Dagmar let out a sinister chuckle. "Hmm, you're right." Dagmar looked at Salas and said apologetically, "Please continue. I'll listen carefully. Hehe …"
Salas nodded reluctantly. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Pandemonium isn't an ordinary place. I'm just telling you in advance so that you won't be at a disadvantage if you're unprepared. Apart from that, I've also found out that there's an area near Pandemonium where Han Hao 'godhunter subordinates are stationed. It's very close to Pandemonium but the security there isn't as tight as in Pandemonium … "
Dagmar's body stiffened when he heard Han Hao's name. He looked at Salas with his sinister eyes and asked, "What do you suggest?"
"Han Hao has a close relationship with the House of Han. I think we should go to his place first and see if we can destroy the place that isn't heavily guarded. Don't underestimate Han Hao's power. He has gathered all the godhunters in the Fringe and has the most experts under the Five Sovereigns, "explained Salas.
"Alright, we'll go to Han Hao's place first," said Dagmar rather impatiently. His main target this time was the Quintessence Shard in Han Hao's possession. Compared to the temptation of the Quintessence Shard of Death, he didn't care about the Fringe's future profits at all.
"Salas, you're more familiar with the Fringe. Will there be any problems?" Asked Dhaka with a frown. Salas's suggestion slightly conflicted with his plan. But seeing how impatient Dagmar was, he knew that Dagmar would definitely head there first. Although Salas's suggestion was different from his own, it didn't seem to be a problem.
No matter how resourceful Dhaka was, he would never have guessed that Salas had already met with Han Shuo in secret and reached a tacit agreement. After all, it could be said that Salas was forced out of the Fringe by Han Shuo. From Dhaka's point of view, there was an irreconcilable grudge between the two. He didn't think that Salas was only trying to destroy the Han family.
"I don't know if there'll be any problems, but I'm sure that the Fringe's defenses aren't as strong as Pandemonium's. If we suffer heavy losses there, I don't think we need to go to Pandemonium," said Salas.
"What do you think?" Dhaka hesitated for a moment and looked at Asser.
"That works too. We'll use that place to warm up and see if we can find the Quintessence Shard for Dagmar," said Asser indifferently.
"That's great, hehe!" Dagmar chuckled. He found Asser to be much more pleasing to the eye.
"Let's do it then," Dhaka finally said. Dhaka made the final decision and asked Salas about the situation over there before instructing his subordinates to slightly change the direction of their advance.
… …
Pandemonium, the Han family.
Zovic, Romont, Rose, the Five Elite Zombies, Bollands, and the others were gathered together. Even Statholme, Phoebe, and the others who had been busy absorbing energy from the crystal ball walked out of the gymnasium.
"Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser, the three Hegemons are here with their godhunters. Other than those three, Salas might be following them …" Zovic reported the situation to Han Shuo with a solemn face.
Hearing this news, everyone from the Han Family had a solemn look on their faces. Even Gilbert, who was usually laughing and joking, fell silent.
Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser were all overgod experts. If Salas was added to the mix, it would be equivalent to having four pinnacle experts. The Han family had never encountered such power before. Compared to those four, Hill and Sha-t 'o in Witherbone City weren't even worth mentioning.
"That's the situation." Han Shuo swept his gaze across the crowd and said, "From today onwards, seal off the Pandemonium. No one is allowed to leave without permission!"
"If we don't leave the Pandemonium, won't the godhunters circle around it and head straight for the Omphalos?" Ayermike was stunned for a moment before he asked, "According to our agreement with Tyre, aren't we supposed to be in charge of this direction? If we allow Dhaka and the others to bypass us and enter the Omphalos, the consequences will be dire! "
"Don't worry, Dhaka will definitely come to the Pandemonium. His goal this time isn't to charge straight into the Omphalos, but to destroy us!" Han Shuo smiled confidently and consoled Ayermike.
Ayermike nodded after hearing what Han Shuo said. He had known Han Shuo for a long time. Just by looking at Han Shuo for a while, he knew that Han Shuo already had a plan in mind.
"Don't leave the Pandemonium. All we need to do is wait for Dhaka and the others to arrive!" Han Shuo scanned their faces with his eyes and smilingly said, "If they really intend to take a detour and go straight to Omphalos, then let them be. In any case, the House of Han in Omphalos has already received orders to evacuate the place."
"From what I see, you don't seem to care about the Omphalos at all, do you?" Statholme the old monster asked with a smile after staring blankly for a moment.
"Haha!" Han Shuo laughed heartily and said, "So what if the Omphalos is destroyed? With Han Tu, Han Jin, and the others around, rebuilding the Omphalos won't be difficult at all. As for the Omphalos, what does that have to do with me? If they deserve to die, then let them die. Only those who survive will be qualified to be servants of the Han family in the future! "
Upon hearing that, Statholme the old monster and the others immediately realized that Han Shuo was ambitious. He seemed to be planning to use this opportunity to make the entire Omphalos part of the Han family's territory.
"Brian, you said that you are going to prepare medicines to increase our divine energy. Have you made any progress?" Asked Statholme with a smile. "My state of mind is sufficient. As long as my divine energy can keep up, I will be able to take another step forward!"
"Don't worry, your medicines are already on the way. Hehe, with so many godhunters coming to our doorstep, I will refine medicines that you will never be able to use! " Han Shuo then calmly issued a few more orders, telling the Han family to be careful during this period of time. However, he did not elaborate on the details.
… …
In another valley not far from the Pandemonium, there were three mountains with figures moving about. They seemed to be busy with something.
On top of a remote cliff, Han Hao attentively observed the people moving about the three mountains. From time to time, he would summon one of his subordinates and whisper a few instructions to them.
Huge runes had been engraved on the three peaks at an unknown time. The runes were strangely shaped and Han Hao's subordinates couldn't recognize a single one of them. They had no idea when the runes had appeared. All they could do was follow Han Hao's instructions and pour buckets of stinking black ink on the runes.
When the black ink splashed on the strangely shaped runes, they gave off wisps of black smoke. However, the smoke did not disperse with the wind. Instead, it lingered around the runes. It was a very strange and mystical sight.
In the center of the belly of the mountain, grooves were dug out and stuffed full of energy crystals. As soon as the energy crystals fell into the center of the grooves, they would immediately shine with the unique bright luster of energy crystals, releasing obvious energy that flowed along special pipes to every corner of the belly of the mountain.
The three mountains looked completely different from before as Little Skull's subordinates busied themselves. They looked ghostly and sinister, giving off an indescribable sense of danger.
"Are you alright?" Han Shuo suddenly stood beside Little Skull. He glanced at the wound on his chest and asked, "I heard from Zovic that you encountered Dagmar first? Hmm, did Dagmar do anything to you? "
Little Skull waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to leave before he replied, "This body is only a half-finished product. I will have to abandon it sooner or later when my main body returns. It's fine," after a short pause, Little Skull turned to Han Shuo and said, "Father, the first to arrive was Wasis."
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he smilingly nodded and said, "Very good. It seems that Wasis is quite reliable at critical times!" After pondering for a moment, Han Shuo bunched his brows and asked, "Tyre and Logue, of course, want you dead. They won't show themselves even if they come. Hmm, what about Ossora? Did you notice anything unusual from him? "
"Ossora came a little late, but he seemed to be in a hurry to get here as well. I don't see anything wrong with him. I just feel that he's a little late … "Little Skull replied.
"Hmm, I got it …" Han Shuo pondered for a moment before he turned to look at those who were busy on the three mountains. He smilingly said, "Salas has brought them here. They should be on their way. Hehe, they want to destroy our Han family? Let's give them a surprise!"
"Father, do you know a little girl named Andrina?" Little Skull suddenly asked.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. He looked at Little Skull and asked, "How do you know Andrina? Hmm, of course I know Andrina. We're on good terms. What's wrong? "
"I've fought with her before." Seeing that Han Shuo was puzzled, Little Skull added, "I fought with her using my main body in the Destiny Dominion. She's very powerful and she has a divine weapon bestowed to her by an expert who cultivates in the edict of destiny …" Little Skull then told Han Shuo about his encounter with Andrina.
After Little Skull finished, Han Shuo pondered for a moment before he suddenly smiled and said, "She came to the Fringe to look for me? Haha, very good. With her here, we'll be even more assured. If she's in the Pandemonium, even an Overgod with a Quintessence would have to be wary of her. "
