Chapter 355 Question One's Existence.

Hearing Alvine's words and seeing his carelessness while addressing their sovereigns, it was not only Echidna who was angry with him, but even the others could not hide their frustrations.

But on the other hand, they could not afford to intervene in the conversation without Reha's order. Hence their hostilities, which are only visible through their eyes.

"Tell me, little Sylvie, what should I understand by your actions?"

Instead of answering Alvine's question, she just asked this question to Sylvia, who always had a confused expression, not knowing what to do.

"??... that is to say... the situation is unclear. In addition to that, Lady Rina is not yet--

"Speaking of little Sabrina, what does she do? Why didn't she come to meet me even though she is on this planet? Do you have the audacity to betray me by barricading behind these people?" She interrupted Sylvia, who just wanted to find excuses.

But even if her words seemed to be pronounced without hostility, her expression showed some traces of confusion and anger.

"... I don't know. I don't have a satisfactory answer about her intentions." She whispered these words while looking away.

"Ho, I see." She casually replied when she saw Sylvia's actions.

Following this, she focused on Alvine.

"I'm going to go to my old city that was under the supervision of my first monarch. Does that have anything to do with you?"

Following her words, Alvine frowns while taking a look behind him.

"Well, even if it's not a problem in itself, your intentions are, however, suspicious. For some reason, you seem to have a tooth against me. It's something quite unpleasant and suspicious; am I wrong?"

"Suspect, do you say?" She asked with an ironic smile while staring at Shadow with hostile eyes.

"... Sigh, which of us is suspicious here? In case you have forgotten, it was you who came to sow chaos on my territory; It was you who ordered this guy to put me out of harm's way to use me as an elixir to ensure your sleep. So, which of the two of us is suspicious?"

"..."

No longer knowing how to react, Alvine looked at Shadow by his side with questioning eyes. But seeing his silence and his facial expression,

'Did I really cause so much chaos? And why am I the villain in every fairy tale these people narrate? First, the Brave King, this white-haired guy, and his gang, and now, even the goddess also had to get involved. Anyway, as long as I haven't clarified these stories that should be linked to my old life, I couldn't know what and who I should be wary of.'

With this conclusion, he fixed Shadow and Heepha.

"You two, answer me honestly, did I have a life other than that of the earth?" He asked both of them coldly.

-?!

"The earth?" Heepha murmured to herself, not knowing what Alvine was referring to.

But unlike her, Shadow had different and doubtful eyes.

"Dalvine, so, I conclude that you have things to hide from me just by seeing your expression; am I wrong?" Even if his voice seemed peaceful, his emotions were other things.

Just by imagining the scenario, he could already think of the worst.

'I had doubts about it, but I was not stupid enough to believe that everything I got, including the protection and strange and mysterious loyalty of Sabrina and others, not to mention my entourage and my shadow soldiers... all this could not be the result of chance or luck. I should never have neglected this part, thinking it wouldn't affect me; it was really stupid on my part.'

As he whispered these words to himself, he finally noticed the strange silence between their camps.

A strange thing for him was to see Reha's hesitation and indecision since her appearance. She has a tooth rage against him, but at the same time, she does not start hostilities; and by noticing this strangeness, Alvine suddenly becomes aware.

"What do you say about a compromise? You know it would be useless for both of us to fight here. That's why, instead of wasting our time in a battle that will not be profitable for any of us, let's try instead to reach an agreement." He proposed while waving his hand in the air, an action that was well calculated.

This nonchalant action allowed him to break the invisible barrier that Heepha had created around him as soon as he appeared.

To this end, he approached the others with suspicious eyes, ready to defend himself at any time in the event of a surprise attack.

'Let's just hope my assumptions are correct.' He continually pronounced this sentence in his thoughts as if he were trying to convince himself.

*Shadow, Heepha, stay with Sylvia. It's only a hypothesis, but I have the impression that this woman wants, above all, to have Sabrina and those who are with me. I don't know her intentions, but what is certain is that she has not yet attacked us for a good reason. I'll try to find out more about it. *

And arriving at fifty meters, he stopped in the middle while murmuring these words to the attention of his two subordinates.

"There is something I expect from you, just like you, who wants something from me. But before starting anything, I would first like you--

Just before he finishes his sentence, Reha, still silent, interrupts him with more unexpected words that make Alvine and the others more confused about her goals.

"I want to have a conversation with you, but not here and not with them too." She suddenly revealed, indexing Shadow and Heepha.

'She wants to separate me from them?' He murmured with contracted eyebrows while looking at Heepha and Shadow behind him.

**It's a terrible idea. This girl may be calm and carefree from the outside, but she is not--

*Do we have a chance to defeat her? *

**... No, not at the moment. But as long as we withdraw and wait for the--

*No, Heepha, we can't afford that. If it were before, it wouldn't bother me; but right now, I have more responsibilities on my shoulders than when I woke up in this world.

-It's no longer a question of worrying about my person; there is an entire kingdom and hundreds of thousands of living beings under my responsibility. And it's something I couldn't accomplish when I was on earth.

-Just as I had already told Linn, it is out of the question for me to abandon those who trusted me and decided to abandon their homes to follow me. * He interrupted Heepha by guessing the latter's intentions.

**... Do you think they will remain faithful to you until the end? **

Suddenly, Shadow intervened in the conversation. He, who saw everything in black and white, could not afford to mince his words, especially in such a situation.

*Sigh, Shadow, this is not something you will be able to understand. I am not so naive to the point of thinking that everyone is faithful to me, but there are people among them who are. And it's them I'm talking about. For now, I'll let you two manage the situation in my absence. And if the situation became dangerous to the point of threatening my life, I would act accordingly; don't forget that we have a valuable asset used against her. And I think that's what makes her still hesitant.* He concludes with these words while making his decision.

**...Very well, I trust you, my lord. **

Hearing Dalvine pronounce these words unexpectedly, Alvine could not hide the surprise in his eyes.

But a strange smile that could not hide his current mood was clearly visible to others.

"Good, but only under three conditions." He replied coldly, after focusing on Reha.

"..."

Seeing her silence, Alvine lost no more time.

"You must let me choose where our meeting will take place. And secondly, you must not take a subordinate too." He listed these two factors when he saw the expectation of Reha.

"... As long as it's in my domain, you can choose where you want. As for your second condition, it will not be a problem for me."

"Of course it goes." Alvine also nods.

"And what about the third condition?"

Hearing Reha's long-awaited question, Alvine frowns.

"First of all, I would like to know more about myself; by this, I mean finding a way to revive my so-called old memories!" He soberly retorted these words with fierce eyes, which attested to his blatant intentions.

"And to do this...

'I wasted too much time before unraveling this mystery. From the beginning, whether Shadow or Sabrina, they had told me fairytale-like stories about my identity.

-An orphan: who was found in the forest of green hell and was allowed to absorb the powers of the monarch of death?

-A tool: An earthling named Alvine Dragnar who was transmigrated to this world for the sole purpose of spying on the actions of the Punishers?

-Or a being born from and for the destruction?

Which of these three paths should I take seriously? Which of these three stories is the truth? Which of these three hypotheses is the most plausible?

By dint of thinking and turning in circles without an answer, I had put aside these mysteries that could affect and weaken my will as a cultivator and focused on the most plausible hypothesis I had provided myself. A poor man who had done nothing in his previous life and who lived in solitude and finally died alone in a hospital bed without even having a friend by his side.

That's why I made sure to do everything possible in order to exceed my limits, increase my rank and sharpen my will and determination to no longer have such a miserable life.

A life that, if I may say so, did not deserve to be lived. A life in which, instead of continuing to fight, I gave up by continuing to curse my Karma and destiny for its cruelty to me.

It was by deciding to choose this path that I was able to set goals and sharpen the blade of my will with it. That's why I have no regrets about having made this choice. It is thanks to this path that I was able to accomplish what I could not do in this old life; to have a family that does not need a blood bond.

That's why...

"We are going to earth!"

As far as I remember, and my oldest memories are on this planet, where it all began!

...Finally, I believe.
