[It's all because of Hackzord's betrayal! Honorable King, please allow me to kill it! ]
Within the Presiding Holy See, Sanguine's roar was deafening. From the protruding veins on his head and the hot air spewing out of his mouth, it was obvious that he was truly enraged.
The other senior lords also had rather gloomy expressions.
Only Nassaupelle remained expressionless and even had the urge to laugh.
What a bunch of fools.
He had clearly warned them, but apart from Undeserved, the other senior lords were skeptical that Silent Disaster would collude with Sky Lord and take the initiative to attack him. Even after he displayed his memories to the King, the senior lords only suppressed their doubts on the surface. Deep down, they were still suspecting if he had angered the other party.
It was only because he looked like a 'monster' that was assembled.
But in the end, they did not receive an explanation from Hackzord and Serakkas. Instead, they received the human's Deity of Gods.
Don't you think it's a little too late to blame the traitors for this?
[The problem is, can you find where he is?] Undeserved did not care about Sanguine's reputation. [Hackzord could be hiding in any corner of the ridge of the continent, and the people of Sky City might have been forced to side with him. Under such circumstances, without investing large amounts of manpower, it's impossible to find traces of a senior lord. Besides …] He coldly swept his gaze at him. [Even if you find Hackzord, don't forget that Serakkas is by his side. When the time comes, it's still unknown who will be killed.] [You —!]
[You —!] If they weren't in the Presiding Holy See, Sanguine would have already taken action.
[Honorable King, I still don't understand …] Chaos squirmed his plump body and said. [Did the humans really discover any evidence regarding Divine Will? If not, with Sky City's style, how could he and the humans —]
[They have already done so much, and you're still guessing the reason for their betrayal?] Mask interrupted sternly. [Regardless of the reason, Hackzord had plenty of opportunities to report to the King. But in reality? From the moment he left the Western Front to the Bottomless Land to collude with Silent Disaster, he had never contacted King City! Clearly, this was a planned betrayal! If not for my ability achieving a new breakthrough, I would have long died in Serakkas's hands! "
The other great monarchs were speechless.
This was a memory fragment extracted by the king, so it could not be faked. Hackzord had once wandered around the northern end of the Land of Dawn, which was also confirmed by the sentries along the way. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem like a decision made in a hurry.
That's right, that's it … The corners of Nassaupelle's lips curled up slightly. Memories could not be forged, but he could deliberately erase a portion of them during the transfer. And he had chosen to hide the clues regarding Valkries, and what he had reported to the king was the altered body.
As it turned out, it was a wise move. If the other Grand Monarchs discovered that their betrayal might involve the missing Valkries, the situation would only become more complicated.
In that case, the date of obtaining the human's legacy shard might have to be delayed again.
It did not want to waste any more time.
[Mask is right. Let's focus on the humans' floating island first. They're obviously here for King City. Undeserved volunteered. "The enemy is floating in mid-air and surrounded by firearms. It's not suitable for Blood Conqueror and Lord Death Scar. No matter how I thought about it, I was the only one suitable to stop them. ]
Undeserved, like Abomination and Death Scar, had advanced from a Psionic Warlock. However, compared to the Mind Controller, who was strong in confusion and control, he was more inclined towards close combat. This could be seen from his attire. His basic humanoid appearance was wrapped in a tight-fitting black leather coat. He did not have a single piece of armor on his body, making him look like a sharp blade that had given up on defense.
The two curved horns that protruded from the side of his forehead seemed to be the only difference between him and a human. However, Nassaupelle knew that it was only a disguise. Undeserved could actively distort the perception of the surrounding lifeforms. This was a mimicry ability that was stronger than the Transformer. He had experienced it before, and when he walked past Undeserved, his subconscious had treated the other party as a rock, causing him to not be alarmed at all.
This seems like a feasible choice … or rather, a choice made out of helplessness — if I'm not around, Mask thought. The situation of a war could never be changed by an Assassin. The king would not agree to his request.
[Denied.] Indeed, the king's first sentence was a denial. Furthermore, Nassaupelle did not know if it was a misperception, but he felt that the king's tone was even colder than before. [Killing the commander will at most cause chaos, but replacing the commander will easily expose yourself. The humans possess Witches that can detect magic power, and at the same time, we cannot eliminate the possibility of a large number of anti-magic carriers. Your success rate is only 3%, and your chance of escaping is less than 1%. It can be said to be a meaningless risk. ]
[But the other senior lords —]
[The race does not only have senior lords to fight. High-level ascendants are similarly not to be underestimated. The human floating island uses the Western Region's God's Stone Pillars. They are unable to implement Plan B like the Deity of Gods. In the end, they still have to rely on their own strength. ]
[Your Majesty is wise!] Mask spread his arms wide open. [In fact, I have already studied the insectoids' combat tactics. Those iron birds seem difficult to deal with, but in reality, they are extremely weak! As long as they dare to appear in the sky above King's City, I will definitely teach them a lesson they will never forget! ]
[Even the core instrument was snatched away by the insectoids. How trustworthy can your words be?] Death Scar said coldly.
[If not for Silent Disaster taking action first, how could I have lost control of the Deity of Gods?] Mask did not even look at him. [The Western Front has already proven the potential of the Symbiotic Demons. What I need to do is to expand the scope of its usage. Even if they do not fly, they are still a huge threat to the iron birds.] ]
[Permission granted. But do not take up too much of the frontlines' resources.] The King replied curtly.
[That is only natural.] Mask struck while the iron was hot. [In addition, I have a new idea — if magic power is channeled out in an orderly manner, allowing it to be released in its original form, we might be able to obtain an extremely powerful weapon of war. But this research requires the use of magic power cores. Can I give it a try?] ]
[There are excess cores in King's City. You can try to test out the new idea, but you are not to interfere with the core operations of the Birth Tower. ]
[Yes, Your Majesty!] Mask lowered his head.
The Presiding Holy See gradually faded away, and the majestic body of King's City's stone tower reappeared before his eyes. What was different from the past was that there were a few more eyes above the black tower, as though they were constantly watching the city below.
That was the King.
In terms of magic power, even ten of himself could not compare. In the past, he would not even have the thought of looking at the King. But now …
Mask adjusted his mask, turned around, and walked towards the hatchery.
… The King was just a part of the core.
