"— —"
In the hall, the air seemed to have solidified.
Unlike the devoutness of the Protoss's goddesses, the arrival of the demons only brought an overwhelming pressure to the people present.
The demonic energy that seemed to have materialized was fluctuating on the bodies of the six demons. Just this alone gave the people a feeling that the entire world was about to collapse.
"Gulp …"
Someone accidentally swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which happened to break the stillness of the scene.
"We're not late, are we?"
Sylar led her sisters and smiled at everyone present.
Although the smile wasn't scary and was even pleasing to the eye, none of the human representatives present dared to step forward and speak.
They didn't have the right.
Only the three goddesses of the Protoss had the right to speak with the Supreme Demons on an equal footing.
"Of course not."
Anima wore a gentle expression and shook her head.
"We just arrived."
Nadura also smiled like a blooming flower, making everyone's eyes light up.
Lydas was the only one with a taut face, as if she didn't want to reveal any flaws on this occasion.
"Only the six of you from the Demons side came?"
Lidas glanced at the group of demons and asked.
The demons looked at each other.
"Why?" Chafine had a faint smile on her face. Her flirtatious expression caused everyone present to fall into a daze. She said, "Isn't the six of us enough?"
Lidas couldn't refute that for a moment.
After all, it was enough for the six demons to appear at the same time.
They were the pinnacle of the demon race. After the death of the Demon King, they were the leaders of the entire demon race and the Demon World. Their strength was enough to show disdain for all heroes. Other than the Goddess of Fate, Lidas, who was the strongest person in the world, no one could easily defeat them in a one-on-one battle.
The arrival of the six of them could be seen as the arrival of the entire Demons.
At least, even if the Protoss and humans joined forces, they wouldn't be able to stop them.
Of course …
"Aren't you with the Hero?"
Lidas looked at Chafne with an unfriendly expression.
The Protoss naturally knew that Chafne appeared next to Shien and moved into Shien's house.
"Well, I have to avoid arousing suspicion." Chafne glanced in a direction, shrugged, and said flirtatiously, "Since the main character is here, how can I, as the older sister, keep sticking to her fiancé?"
Hearing this, the goddesses of the Protoss looked at Ai Yi in unison.
"Hmph."
Ai Yi snorted, hugging her pillow and turning her head away as if she didn't care.
"Ai Yi."
Lide, who was lying on Milu's head, scolded Ai Yi a little, as if she was blaming her for being disrespectful in this situation.
"Want to fight?"
Mi Lu, on the other hand, tilted her head in confusion. With an innocent expression, she seemed to want to ignite a fire, causing Artemis, who had been watching her, to have a cold glint in her eyes.
As expected, this devil was still as evil as ever. Even after a thousand years, he hadn't changed.
In Artemis's opinion, an existence like Mi Lu who could do dangerous and cruel things without any self-awareness was undoubtedly born evil.
If it wasn't for the fact that she shouldn't speak in this situation as a superior goddess, Artemis would have already found Mi Lu.
There were many evil existences among the Demons, but the one that Artemis couldn't accept the most was Mi Lu.
Therefore, in the final battle a thousand years ago, Artemis fought against Mi Lu.
She wanted to get rid of this devil that was born evil.
Unfortunately, Mi Lu was a Demon, and even Artemis could only fight her to a draw. She couldn't defeat her easily.
This matter still bothered Artemis to this day.
On the other hand, Mi Lu seemed to have forgotten about Artemis. She didn't even look at Artemis and just giggled, which made Artemis's mood worse and worse.
On the other side, Kamina, Nord, Werther, and Steele had already made eye contact with each other. As if their gazes collided with each other, the friction produced electric currents. One side had a cold expression, the other side was gritting their teeth, and they secretly started a fierce confrontation.
Just like this, the Demon Dwellers told others how fierce the battle between the God Race and the Demon Race had been in the past, through their old grudges and enmity in the God Race.
Many people were already trembling with fear, afraid that these big shots would go crazy on the spot and directly fight.
If these few people fought, it would be a small matter even if the sky fell and the earth split.
Therefore, many people had already cast a pleading look at those who were qualified to intervene in that situation.
Specifically, they were the people of the Mithra Kingdom as the host.
But how would Ancey and Lia dare to stand up for him?
In the end, it was Ule and Elise who spoke.
"Goddesses."
"Lady Anima."
Yule and Elise softly called out to the goddesses.
Anima and Nadia immediately came to mediate.
"Alright, everyone, now is not the time to quarrel."
"This is in front of all the forces in the world, don't let them laugh at you."
As goddesses with good tempers, the Life Goddess and the Nature Goddess tried to persuade them.
The Gods and Demons who had formed an ill-fated relationship with each other were reluctant, and some had to stop fighting and stop fighting.
"As for the Demons, there are only six of us here today," Sylar said in a timely manner. "Can we start now?"
Hearing Sylar's words, Ancey hurriedly stood out.
"And the Hero Shien himself is not here."
As soon as she said this, everyone present looked at Chafine.
Seeing this, Chafnir smiled sweetly, ignoring the damage her beautiful smile had caused to everyone present, and turned around to look at the sky.
"Aren't they here?"
A clear voice rang out and entered everyone's ears.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they could not help but raise their heads and look at the sky.
There, there was only a single sun hanging high in the sky.
However, many people gradually realized that something was amiss.
Under the sun wheel, there seemed to be three figures silently appearing.
There was no extraordinary aura.
There was no shocking movement.
They appeared here without a sound, and they were imprinted in everyone's eyes without a sound.
And gradually, they were seen clearly.
"Rosie!"
Ancey and Leah could not help but call out to the graceful figure floating on the left, causing Lidas to hurriedly look up.
"Evil Goddess, Lilith."
Artemis, on the other hand, showed a sharp look at a petite figure floating on the right and called out the other party's name.
However, most of the people focused their attention on the figure floating in the middle.
"Oh? We're the finale? "
Some frivolous words reverberated in the air, completely displaying the indifference and unrestrained nature of the person who had come.
Who else could it be other than Shien?
"Is that Hero Shien?"
Artemis's gaze was attracted to Shien.
"Hero …"
Everyone present subconsciously held their breaths.
Among them, some had already seen Sean, while others had only seen Sean for the first time today. They had finally met the legendary Brave.
Bathed in everyone's gaze, Shien looked down at the entire venue. After a while, he suddenly pulled out the Holy Sword from his waist.
Shing-!
A dazzling holy light suddenly shone from the Holy Sword.
"…!"
Everyone present, be it the Humans, the Protoss, or the Demons, had a sudden change of expression.
Shien raised the Holy Sword high and let the light of the Holy Sword turn into a dazzling light, illuminating the entire Glory Hall and even the entire island.
At this moment, all the people in the Royal City saw this scene.
"That … that light …!"
"Holy Sword!"
"It's the holy light emitted by the Holy Sword!"
"Ahhh …!"
The crowd broke into an uproar as they looked at the holy light shining above the island in the center of the lake. All of them were excited and moved.
This was because it was the light that brought hope to the Protoss and the Humans, the light that defeated the Demon King, and the light that saved the world.
After a thousand years, this light once again appeared in this world, in front of everyone's eyes.
At this moment, it was time for the Hero to announce his return to this world.
Clang!
The dazzling Holy Sword was thrown down by Shien from mid-air, and it pierced straight into the high platform of the inner council seats. Like the Sword of King Arthur in the Legend of Great Britain, the tip of the sword sank into the high platform, and it stood in the middle of the triangular council seats.
It was also the center of the entire Glory Hall, a place where everyone could easily see.
Shien landed in front of the Holy Sword with Rosie and Lilith.
"I won't introduce myself to you."
Shien's voice slowly sounded.
"I believe that the existence of this sword is a perfect indication of my identity to everyone here."
Shien raised his eyes slightly and looked at all the people in the entire Glory Hall.
"The reason why this meeting of the three clans appeared today is all because of me."
"I also know that my appearance has brought a lot of trouble to this world."
"Therefore, in today's meeting, I will officially initiate a dialogue with all of you who are representatives of this world from my standpoint."
"I have no other purpose. I just want to tell you that in this world that no longer needs Heroes, although I am an outsider, I am not an invader."
"Everyone can feel free to boldly ask me the questions in your hearts. As long as I can answer them, I will answer them."
"Of course, it's better not to have problems that shouldn't appear."
As Shien said so, he looked at everyone present.
Instantly, many people looked away uncomfortably or guiltily.
Shien curled his lips into a smile and continued to make his announcement.
"I swear by the Holy Sword in my hand that I will never be the cause of chaos."
"In other words, I have no intention of destroying the peace of this world, nor am I happy to see the war that ended a thousand years ago because of me."
"The premise is that others don't provoke me first."
"Otherwise, you might soon realize that I'm actually quite different from the Hero you know."
After saying this, Shien put away his sharp attitude and spoke lazily.
"Before the meeting begins, I want to make things clear to everyone like this."
"In case I lose my temper later, you will think that I am ungentlemanly."
"That's all I want to say."
After that, Shien turned to Anxi, who had not reacted at all.
"Can you take your seat? Your Majesty? "
Shien said to Anxi slowly.
"Yes … Yes."
Only then did An Xi come to his senses. He smiled bitterly as he glanced at everyone present to see their reactions.
Most of them fell silent and were speechless.
Some of them were whispering, as if they did not expect Shien to make such a declaration before the meeting began.
Harvey, Capeline, Elise, Sophie, and other acquaintances of Shien, like Anxi, smiled bitterly.
Even Rosie and Lia were speechless as they looked at each other.
The Protoss goddesses blinked and looked at Shien with a different kind of splendor.
The same was true for Artemis. She stared at Sean, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Lydas, Anima, and Nadura did not express their opinions at all.
Needless to say, the Demonkin looked at Shien with no surprise in their eyes. Instead, they were full of smiles and praise.
"As expected of you."
Ai Yi could not help but show a faint smile on her face.
"Hehe."
Chafne laughed happily, as if she was very satisfied with Shien's performance.
Even Kamina looked at Shien with rare praise.
One of them sighed, while the other smiled.
In the end, Sylar also looked at Shien deeply and smiled in agreement.
"In that case, on behalf of the Demons, I also declare in advance that we have no intention of breaking the peace, and it has nothing to do with the reappearance of the [Summoning of the Brave]. I hope the Protoss can see this clearly and return the innocence of us Demons."
The Goddesses of the Protoss exchanged awkward glances with each other after hearing Roland's words.
They knew that Sylar was referring to the malicious speculations that the busybodies of the God Race had towards the Demon Race.
"… Are you sure?"
Lydas was silent for a long time, and then asked such a question.
Sylar smiled faintly.
"Swear to our Demon King."
This was the most solemn declaration for the Demonkin.
"Okay!" Lydas immediately said loudly. "Then I also swear to our High God that the Protoss will never activate the [Summoning of the Brave] to deal with the Demons!"
Anima and Nadura also nodded solemnly.
Artemis and the other goddesses also stood up solemnly.
Swearing in the name of the High God was already the highest oath for the Protoss.
No one could doubt it.
In the end, under Shien's lead, before the meeting even started, the Gods and Demons had clarified their speculation and doubts about each other in the most solemn way.
"Ahem …" An Xi coughed and said, "Then, everyone, please take your seats."
Everyone immediately nodded.
The Three Clans Conference, which had been held for a thousand years, had officially begun under such circumstances.
