Chapter 431 The Meeting. 2



Alvine turns his back on him and crosses his arms. "The rumors about the supreme god, are you the origin of these bullshits?"

Smiling briefly, Uranus nods his head. "It's true. But I'm not that goddess."

"..."

'A goddess?' Alvine briefly reflects on the meanings of Uranus's words.

"Alright then, may we see each other on the battlefields." He said as he walked towards the door he had borrowed before finding himself in the room.

But at that moment, an incredulous thing happened.

Half of the escorts who were in the room followed him without their masters giving the order.

Alfred's two muscular men, Rendy, and Uranus's two subordinates!

This anomaly left no one indifferent, including Uranus, who had an anchored face.

Alvine stops when he arrived in front of the door. "Since you have so many troops, you wouldn't mind if I recruited some, wouldn't you?"

Uranus and Alfred's faces have turned green.

Keeping his rage under control, Iranus looks at Azalea. "What does this mean?"

"I have nothing to do with...-

"Do you want me to believe that he manages to use his powers despite your obstruction?" His voice became harsh before Azalea finished her sentence.

Being overwhelmed by the anomaly, Azalea opens her mouth several times but is unable to answer Uranus's question.

"You're not quite clever." Alvine invites himself into their conversations while splashing oil on the fires which burn in the heart of Uranus.

The latter's expression instantly changes into cruelty as he stared at his two minions behind Alvine.

Both were wearing masks, hiding their eyes. But unlike them, Alfred's subordinates had empty eyes and small black runes in them.

Alvine sighs nonchalantly. "Do you remember, Uranus?" while muttering these lines, he breaks the wrist of the door, instead of opening it.

He then turns to the others. "You had to impress me, not with vicious tricks, but here and now."

He then looks at Sylvia with a sneaky smile.

Understanding that it was the moment, she manifested her aura which was a perfect white; instead of black.

-!

Seeing their confusion, Alvine smiled at Azalea who had an awe expression, For lack of a better word to describe it.

"Wasn't this meeting supposed to be a meeting of...-

Alvine cut him off. "Ah, Uranus, why are you continuing this game? You must know that I have understood since time."

Uranus frowns darkly.

"Alfred's previous attack was only a diversion. I thought you were going to take advantage of this chaos to attack me, but you surprised me by taking my two subordinates who were behind me just before this woman activated the effects of her territory."

"..."

He then walks to his chair when he sees Uranus displaying a sneaky smile. The latter no longer hid his intention.

On the other hand, Alvine's calm did not decrease a notch. "But since you have a mind as twisted as Askald, I was able to act in time before you went to the end of your actions. —Seeing that your attempt had failed, you preferred dialogue.

-But who am I to let this affront pass? Having my energy sealed, you knew that I could not notice where this portal led. But you did not expect that one of my subordinates could always be able to use her powers and warn me of your trap. You see, all this is suspicious." He then sits on his chair with seven new escorts behind him.

"Let's forget everything that has just happened, and let's talk with an open heart." Of course, it was a lie.

But even knowing this, Uranus has not lost his cold blood.

He sighs with a sad look. "I am confused, a person I want to offer a peaceful death asks the opposite; what to do in such a situation?" He speaks in a dramatic voice.

But Alvine instantly proposed. "What if you started by intimidating...- I meant, impressing me?"

"Impress you?"

"Yea, you may get there by telling me about your links with Titania and Isolet. One is probably your sacrificial pawn, but the other...sigh.

"-!!" Uranus's heart jumps a beat when he hears Alvine's words.

"What do you mean by... that?" Despite his efforts to keep his cool, his tone was still stunned.

Alvine also frowns. 'It seems that Askald was not wrong, in part.' His eyes became solemn as he muttered these few words in his mind.

Aware that he was about to lose his mind in the wrath, he breathes at a slow but regular pace. 'Let's calm down, getting angry will only aggravate the situation.' Gradually, his heart rate became regular.

'The reason for all these panics is none other than Isolet. Because she has a superior soul as powerful as mine, she's the only one who can wreak havoc even in the presence of my monarchs. The older an entity is, the more mysterious and powerful its powers will be.

But from there to believe that Isolet is in wick with them? It hides something suspicious. It was not only me who found this girl innocent and harmless even Askald, who was suspicious of her, ended up leaving her aside. It was also this same Askald who was able to find the other spying, which is deeply hidden in Tifania's soul.

- being weak, I could not discover this other consciousness. ‘I doubt that Tifania herself is aware of its existence’, Askald had explained to me. But Isolet, huh?'

After all that he had just witnessed, Alvine could no longer cast out the hypothesis that Isolet was linked to Uranus and the other men in white; despite everything, a mystery remains in his heart.

Unable to find the answer to this mystery, he focused on Uranus, who no longer looked shocked.

"What is your connection with this girl? How do you know her existence?" He asks, even if he didn't expect an honest answer from Uranus.

While he was asking, he stealthily gesticulated his right fingers which were hidden under the table.

Standing behind him, Sylvia deciphered his words through his gestures.

A basic means of communication he had learned from Sabrina during his classes with her.

**I apologize, but I still can't read his mind.** Being one of the fives people to use her magical energy, Sylvia answers Alvine's question telepathically; as she had always done since the beginning.

Hearing her answer, Alvine signaled OK. Then, his left hand’s fingers move once again, addressing Linn.

The latter, always having her magical perception focused on Alvine, also answers. **The gate destination has still not changed; I still feel the presence of the army of enemies waiting for us behind.**

This answer is enough for Alvine to understand that Uranus has still not abandoned his vicious intentions.

He frowns... 'He (Uranus)'s trying to save time; I think that was his goal from the start.'

At the same time, Uranus answers his question after a few seconds of silence.

"You have spent many millennia sowing chaos, her majesty is the key to extinguishing the flames you have created." His sober voice resounds in the room.

Surprised beyond all his predictions, Alvine asks in a sneaky tone...

"Her majesty?"

A sneaky smile stands on Uranus's lips.

But before he speaks, the woman next to him, who had not yet spoken, speaks in a soft but cold voice. "Uranus, I don't remember ordering you to reveal information about our...-

Uranus cut her off. "Monarch Nephleim, it doesn't matter anymore; we have already reached our goal." But the respect in Uranus's voice shows the woman had a higher status than his.

'Monarch?' Alvine listens to collect as much information as he could.

More importantly, the girl's voice was familiar to him, but unable to remember where he had already heard it.

Uranus's words lowered the guard and mistrust of the woman wearing a white mask towards him.

Aware of this fact, Uranus focused on Alvine. "You made two mistakes." He raises his index and middle fingers toward Alvine.

"The first is to believe you above all, the second is to have attended this meeting." He continues with a smile going from one ear to the other.

Regardless of Uranus's arrogant words, Alvine did not show his true emotions.

But indifference was not equal to his true emotions, his blood was bubbling in his veins as he listened to Uranus.

Among all his explanations that included false and true information, Alvine had captured some of them. 'There is no doubt that Isolet will be as powerful as I was if she reaches her perfect shape. Especially since she may have a past as important and mysterious as mine; this statement has the merit of granting a part of truth in the words of this type in white.

-But I doubt that they are telling the truth when talking about achieving their goals. I can leave here using Kimiko's power, but leaving empty-handed and without reliable information will only cause more confusion in my mind. I would risk making the wrong decisions if I don't clarify certain things.' He allows his mind to do what it wants as long as it can find useful information.

'What if Isolet wasn't weak?' When this tic sounded in his mind, his heart froze in his chest.

'Thinking about it, I would be able to prevent Askald from seeing my real level if I was at the peak of my power. But even if she manages to deceive Askald's senses, mine are...-! Tss~, What am I even saying? Even the other bug that occupies Tifania's body could mislead me as if it were as easy as turning her thumbs... Sigh! It's frustrating to be in ignorance.' He almost shouted his last sentence out loud.

"I see." Unable to find the answer, Alvine gets up for the second time. "In this case, I will leave." He muttered in an imposing tone that echoed in the silent room.

'The priority is to go and see how the others are doing, then I would take care of the rest.' With this idea in mind, he momentarily looks at Azalea, who had no undulations on her face.

Seeing that the latter was also looking at him, Alvine smiled cruelly at her. "My only regret is to learn that you had already chosen your side."

"... I just want to shelter mine; this ambition guides my will." She pronounces these lines with a particular accent that wrinkled Alvine's face.

He turns his eyes away from Azalea before focusing on Uranus.

"Do you intend to stop me?"

Uranus's eyelids swell with cruelty. But before he gave his answer that Alvine had guessed in advance, Nephleim was ahead of him. "You have the right to leave; as promised, this meeting was not intended to beat us."

Her words not only surprised Alvine but also the others.

"Are you sure!?" Alfred jumped off his chair, unable to believe what he has just heard.

"If we let this asshole go, my two...-

"Don't worry; it is by taking this into account that I prevent you from attacking him." Nephilim expresses herself without detours.

"...What do you mean by that?" Still not ready to see Alvine steal other subordinates from him, Alfred holds his rage and asks between his clenched teeth.

Nephilim sighed with ennui, learning that Alfred's mind was as slow as a turtle on a beach.

"Ah, old man." Alvine's sarcastic voice resounds in the room.

Just by hearing Alvine's haughty tone, Alfred guessed he will have to assist another test of self-control.

But Alvine continued. "Your idiocy will never cease to surprise me. If you try to hold me back, maybe I could order your subordinates to serve me as a shield."

-!!

Finally becoming aware of Nephleim's concerns, Uranus and Alfred became frozen after hearing Alvine's words.

"Tsk! You finally show your real face! A warrior must never stoop d...-

"Stop making yourself more stupid than you already are, Alfred." Alvine halts him off. "You constantly bark while telling me shits, but you forget that it was you who started."

Alfred’s face becomes green with shame.

But Alvine didn't care about his feelings. “So tell me Alfred, Why the fuck would I care about my pride against nasty Imps like you?"

“...”

Seeing him silent, Alvine smiled with satisfaction. He then caressed Rendy's head while looking at Azalea.

Seeing his blatant threat while using her maid as a shield, Azalea sighs slightly in a blahs mood.

In the same second, her emerald green crystal shines once again with a shining light before turning off after a few seconds as long as five eyelash beats.

Alvine's smile grows as he feels his body roar with energy. "Stay safe until the days when you reappear in front of me. By this day, be safe." As soon as he finished saying these words, his shadow rises like a black veil and swallows up him, his two subordinates, and his hostages.
