"This is indeed the cause. But now, it doesn't matter too much since the person who invoked us is no longer of this world. Not to mention that originally, you had not done this on purpose. So I'm not going to exaggerate things." He said by pulling one of the ministers' chairs that were on the other side of the room with its magic and sitting on it without worrying about manners
"..."
"!!!" The reaction of the king differs from that of the queen who had now become accustomed to Alvine's strange towers. But he instantly repressed his emotions. "In this case, I have two questions for you. What are your motivations now? And my second question is, if you are not magic beasts, then what kind of species you are? In our world, we have only three races here. We Kelspiennes, the Snow Elves who live in the north, and the mysterious race who never go out into their hiding places. Are you one of their citizens?!" Asked the king with a monotonous and placid voice.
"Well, I could ask you the same questions. To begin with, I don't intend to create problems here. I would treat you in the same way as you will do with me. And regarding your second question, I am a human." While he spoke these words, his facial expression lit up with a beautifying smile. In all honesty, I don't even know who I am. Do you really believe that I will reveal my identity and honestly answer your questions? They are naive.'
"A human? That sounds interesting. I had already heard of them in our ancestral books. They say they are weak but very vicious creatures. Sigh, just with what my queen brought me about you, I don't know if I should denigrate our ancestral writings or if I should only take your words as someone who didn't want to reveal his information." The head of the kingdom replied with a mischievous smile.
'Sight, I hate these kinds of brains.' He says to himself by understanding the meanings of the king's words. "The choice belongs only to you, your majesty. Know one thing, my powers are based on heavenly judgments. Lying is as if I wanted to be hit by lightning. Do you really believe that I would waste my time and power against such insignificant things by betting so big?" Thundered Alvine with a frown
The king's eyes widened when he heard his words. "Sigh, the more I hear you speak, the more you give me the impression of being in front of a magical beast. In short, made like at home. And please be sure to fill your market share."
"As long as all my conditions are met, don't worry. I am the embodiment of truth and righteousness. If I am really satisfied, I would even give you some details about the outside world." He said in a salacious tone.
"Please do it." He said, closing his eyes.
Just after five seconds, a woman dressed in a strange outfit entered the room of the throne. "Your greatness?" Asked the female Kelspienne, kneeling in front of the king.
Nodding his head, the king said, "She is synkie, she's the chief who takes care of the palace. Synkie, escort our guests to the palace's VVIP apartment. Ask for everything you need, she will take care of you during your stay in my kingdom. You must be exhausted after this day so hectic. You can rest by hearing dawn to consult the Royal Library." Proposed the king in a friendly tone.
"Very well, we would follow your advice. But something intrigues me, who are these mysterious races? What do they look like?" Sylvia, who had remained silent until now, asked the king in a tone like a bell.
"Hmm...although they have lived with us for thousands of years, we don't know what they look like." Sylvia's question did not surprise him as if he expected such a question from them.
"What do you mean by that?" Surprised, asked Alvine.
"Well, to tell you the truth, it is an extraterrestrial race like you who had come to settle in our world for more than a thousand years. But all our efforts to get in touch with them were in vain. The messengers we had sent to them came back with erased memories and a single sentence in their mouths. [We have come here in peace, we are not going to interfere in your affairs or provoke wars. But if you try to enter our lands, we will take it as a declaration of war.] that was their warning. But our ancestors had decided to leave them alone after confirming that they did not have bad intentions toward us. Not to mention that they never venture outside their domains, then we abandoned our curiosity to prevent another useless bloodbath." He says these words with a mysterious sigh.
"If you are so curious to know them, tomorrow will be the meeting of the three races in my kingdom. You can attend if you like it, but you must not cause tumult during the meeting. Our three races have suffered many losses against demonic beasts who live excluded on the other side of the world. We agree to forge an alliance against them to repel them or submit them for good if possible." He Continued.
'In his words, this unknown race is perhaps the most powerful race on this planet. Being able to manipulate the memories of beings who are specialized in this field, this breed really piques my curiosity. If they are more gifted with spiritual attacks, then I must do everything I can to learn from them. Sigh, I understand why their ancestors decided not to provoke a crouching tiger who protected his newborn.' He concludes in his thoughts before nodding his head in agreement. "Very good. By then, I will be in your care." He said, nodding his head to Synkie who escorted them to their rooms.
-Creeeck!-
After the doors closed, the king sighed a breath of hot air. "You had made the right decision not to make them our enemies, my dear wife." He said, looking at his wife.
"My dear, I think his two are stronger than the ice elves who are renowned for their arrogance. During the time I spent with them, I was able to conclude that this human could kill the first Elder from the beginning of their duel but he had held back to gauge our strength. Our encounter with them can be both a blessing and a curse. It all depends on us. If we have the chance to get along well with them, we can even acquire their techniques and thus fight like him. Although he had a pet with him from the beginning, he had never relied on him. He alone had been able to crush the first Elder without effort." Proposed the queen by sitting on the chair that Alvine had put on the golden carpet.
"Sigh, it seems that he has found ways to use the powers of his pet. This is something we Kelspies have always wanted to know. We must at all costs take this opportunity to convey this secret to us. This is also one of the reasons why I was not so reckless with these foreigners. In addition to its power, it is also endowed with increased intelligence. Sigh, I hope he will at least respect his agreement." He says he collapses in the sweetness of the throne.

"Thank you, I will call you when I need your services. But in the meantime, can you look for me for books that talk about the history of this planet... Do I mean this world?" By the time the maid had escorted Alvine and Sylvia to a luxuriously decorated room, he did not waste time before finding an excuse to get rid of Stnkie.
"Alright, honorable guest of his Majesty. In this step, I would go get what you were asking for." She said, bowing slightly in front of him before closing the door behind her.
"Aaaah~ I feel like I've been with giants since we came here. Finally, in short. Sylvia, contact Sabrina and explain our current situation before she worries about anything." Asked Alvine, lying on the giant bed that gave him the impression of taking the place of a giant.
"No need. You had not yet noticed something strange with your temporal affinity when we crossed the dimensional portal?" She said, sitting next to Alvine on the bed while humming joyfully.
"Hm? No, I have not yet acquired this affinity. So let's not even talk about feeling the energy fluctuations associated with this affinity." Answered briefly Alvine in a boring tone.
"Oh~ Where did I have my head? In this case, let me reveal important information to you. There is a temporal lag on this planet. I knew it from the moment we had crossed their portals of invocation." She says while contemplating the golden ceiling that seemed to be beautifully decorated by professional artists.
"What do you mean by that? Are such magic really possible?? I know that Yuer is able to freeze time around her or even go back in time for a while. But what you're telling me here is that this planet had suffered a time lag permanently?" He asked for confirmation as if he doubted his sensitivity.
"No, it has not suffered a time lag, but it is remodeling like that. Based on my assumptions, I can approximately guess the identity of the owner of this planet. It's surely...! Sigh, forget what I just said. In any case, we are about six months ahead. During this period, do everything possible to at least be able to bring me with you into the kingdom of death."
'I had forgotten that this guy is probably constantly monitored by these boring leaders. Sigh, what a boring power.' She said, speaking of Randolph.
Understanding the meanings of his words, Alvine did not continue his churning. "Sylvia, what if we tested the limits of the monarch's powers that I have unlocked since their acquisition?" He says by instantly changing the subject.
"Hoo~? So you really want to try to summon a shadow soldier without even knowing what dark energy is, or possessing it? Even if you are used to overestimating yourself, there are still limits not to be crossed... don't you think?" She replied by rolling her eyes. Naturally, knowing the powers of the monarch it was as if Alvine told him that he had just reached the divine kingdom without suffering divine tribulations. It was simply inconceivable even for her who is one of the Punishers.
While she disdained Alvine, this last redress up on the bed in the "Half lotus" position and closed his eyes to try to venture into the mysterious dimension. 'Even if this is the first time I've tried to come here voluntarily, the test seems to have gone rather smoothly.' He says to himself by opening his jet-black pupils in the mysterious dimension. Like his last visit, nothing seemed different except a small detail that had piqued his curiosity. It was the dying screams in a voice that was familiar.
"ARRGHH!! Why? Why me?! For-AAAARGHH!!" It was none other than the amplifying voice of the third Elder who wept despair. His cries filled with despair and endless agony had made Alvine startle with panic when he heard his screams for the first time.
"What is...? What is he doing here?!" With his eyes wide open, Alvine witnessed a scene he did not expect. The only idea that came up constantly in his brain was the word "HELL!!" When he had witnessed the suffering that the third Elder was suffering. Although his heart was hardened when he was transmigrated to this universe... he could not keep calm in the face of the torments suffered by the third Elder whom he thought was dead.
Chained by thick chains and unstoppable darkness, the third Elder constantly screamed in agony in [gehenna flames] that burned him in threatening darkness.
Without the help of his system, Alvine instantly understood the roles of the chains and the black flames that burned the Ancient. '[The process of purifying the soul before being absorbed by one of the shadow soldiers]' he instinctively said with shiny black eyes!
"Please spare me! "Please spare me! I would even become your slave for eternity but stop this hell!" As his eyes landed on Alvine, he begged in a dying tone accompanied by his desperate screams.
Strengthening his will, Alvine calmed the waves in his heart and regained his state of placidity. "Your fate doesn't matter to me. Kindness, sympathy, and clemency are luxuries that I never grant to my enemies. But if you have information worth it, I would grant you an end... no, a purification quick." These were the words he had coldly recited to the Elder.
