Chapter 435 Stupid Plan



While the planet was on its top of alert, a giant black portal appeared above the planet as the entrance to hell.

Roaring like the snoring of a divine dragon, Alvine, and his two escorts, accompanied by some strangers in white, came out of the gate.

"...Get ready! We are going to receive our Lord." Askald coldly gave this order to the subordinates with him.

Standing next to a woman with long red hair, Sebas puts off the service towel he had on his arm and addresses Lilliana. "It seems that the Lord is back."

The latter forgets her cup of tea before suddenly getting up from one of two chairs in her room. "For once, he kept his promise by coming back safe and sound." She mutters before following Sebas who escorts her to the exit.

Before Alvine and the others landed on land, everyone had already gathered to welcome him.

His face radiated relief when he saw that everything was fine.

"I hope you feel better, my Lord." Speaking on behalf of all, Askald spoke before kneeling, followed by everyone, in front of their only lord.

"GOOD BACK, LORD!!!" The others' voices roar harmoniously in unison as if they had trained in advance.

With a radiant smile, Alvine finally landed on dry land. "I'm glad to see you all in good shape too." He said in an authoritarian voice that resounded in everyone's eardrums like the guardian of a pantheon.

He then looks at everyone, not with his eyes alone, and frowns the second after.

His eyes then focused on Askald who was also looking at him.

Seeing Askald's eyes, Alvine did not need to ask him to know that something was wrong.

'As expected, Isolet and White Fy are not on the planet.' He mutters in his mind, noticing the absence of his only two subjects who were missing from him.

"Elena."

The person concerned raises her head.

"You will take care of those who are with me; Zakiel will assist you in collecting as much information as necessary."

"At your command, my lord."

Hearing her answer, Alvine looks at Cindy and Rendy while frowning. **Elen, don't interrogate the two Cristalus, I'll deal with them after.**

He then focused on Askald.

"... Askald, join me in my apartments, I must hear your report as soon as possible."

Before Askald responded to his order, Alvine disappeared in front of the others; without saying anything more.

Although the others had left their outstanding tasks to come and welcome him, no one showed dissatisfaction with his brief appearance; knowing that he had greater problems to solve within a tight time.

Askald takes a brief look at those Alvine had brought with him before sighing. 'It seems that Lord used a skill similar to that of this woman.' He teleports immediately after this brief sentence is pronounced in his mind.

...

-Toc, toc,

Sitting in an office slightly lit up by magical crystals, Alvine's lips move instinctively as he replies, "It's open."

Hearing his somewhat hasty voice behind the door, "I'll excuse me."

Askald's voice reached his ears as the latter opened the black door, which had motifs of two dragons clashing, and entered his office.

"Where's Isolet?" Alvine instantly asks while scribbling something on the piles of papers on her desk.

Seeing Alvine's head plunged into his duties, a heavy sigh escapes between Askald's lips. "You must think of a manager to help you in these tasks." He mutters under his tongue as if he were thinking out loud.

Always with his head against the papers, Alvine answers nonchalantly. "Don't worry, these things are nothing for me. In addition, I have enough assistance that makes it easier for me." He said, pointing his pen at a succubus woman with long white hair and two horns of the same color, who was in the corner of his office.

Askald looked momentarily at Assi, who didn't even seem to have noticed his presence due to her being too busy with paperwork.

Askald could even see wrinkles under her eyes juggling between the papers at lightning speed.

"No, she is not enough; if you continue like that, she will eventually die of overwork." He said with an ironic smile.

"Seriously?" Alvine finally raises his head towards Assi.

He then goes back to his paperwork. "I would think about it when the time came. Sabrina is also gifted in these things, but strength has become an obstinacy for her. There's also Randolph, but this guy doesn't listen to me."

"Ah, are you talking about this man with white hair?"

"Um."

"... Why not...-

"Don't be so reckless towards others, Askald. Give him time to adapt, he will eventually change himself." Alvine interrupts him, guessing the cruel proposal that Askald is about to offer him.

"... You have changed a lot, my lord."

Alvine's hand stops momentarily with his pen after hearing this sentence from Askald. " ... Not really. I give privileges and my clemency to those who deserve it." He continued to scribble like a typewriter with a speed far beyond that of Assi.

"Let's talk little, but let's talk well, Askald. What happened during my absence? According to the current amount of your aura and that of your sister, not to mention the absence of Isolet and White Fy, and the other notable details that the others were trying to hide from me under their fictitious joys, I already guess that there was a lot of trouble during my absence." n)/0velb1n

His voice was calm but Askald, who listened to him, could feel slight vibrations in it.

"As expected, your insight always frightens me." He said with an ironic smile.

"... Sigh, you would make a perfect assistant if you weren't too talkative, Askald."

Alvine's words almost made him lose his balance when they sounded in his ears. "Ahem, I'll keep that in mind."

"Well, let's hope it works; even if I'm not convinced." Not noticing his agitation, or perhaps determined to ignore it, Alvine gives this brief answer.

"In short, we were able to resolve the situation by losing only your sister and Fy Alpha." Askald satisfies his lord's wish by responding as briefly as he can.

Alvine's hand stops clearly on the paper he is about to sign.

He then raises his head towards Askald with a silly look. "Tell me, Askald, is this how you plan to correct your talkative side?"

The latter smiles at him stealthily. "My lord's wishes are orders."

"... Sigh, very well, you won. I prefer the old Askald. Now, explain to me in detail what happened during my absence." Alvine raises the white flag in the face of his subordinate's sarcasm.

With a satisfying smile, Askald began to explain everything that had happened during Alvine's absence, starting from the beginning.

After five minutes of listening to Askald, Alvine finally sighs in a heavy voice.

"You say that Isolet ran away while you were busy controlling the corrupts?"

"Yes, I think she wasn't herself either. She purposely sent my sister to face one of the corrupts, who wanted to steal her real body. But finally, my sister had only been able to save the roots of the world's tree that are connected to the five planets similar to this planet."

"Hmm, by corrupt, do you mean those who were controlled by mental control, like the one I activated on the recruits I brought with me?" Alvine did not seem to be too concerned about the events that preceded his departure; he was always reading the reports that were on his desk while he was talking with Askald.

"Yes, that's it. But given the ease with which we were able to manage this chaos, I think that...

"Yea, the purpose of this unknown aggressor was not probably to harm you, but to keep you busy while she kidnaps Isolet who will probably play a key sheet in this war." Alvine continued Ascald's speculations.

Having nothing to add, Askald made no other comment. "There is also Fy Alpha; the latter was not found from the beginning. I think she had vanished as soon as you left, or maybe even before you left." He said, caressing his chin.

"Yes, I am aware of this fact."

"How?" Askald raises his eyebrows slightly.

"It's because I met her in the meeting that took place. She pretended to be another person by believing that I was not going to discover her identity.

-Or maybe her goal was to keep this detail secret until she reached her goal, otherwise, she would have already pointed out to continue her role as a double agent.

She was called Monarch Nephleim if I remember correctly.

However,

...it seemed that the woman who had taken possession of her body had a link with the one who was responsible for the agitation during my absence." He said in a carefree tone while sending all the documents he had just processed to Assi, with his telekinetic magic

The latter briefly looks at the additional tasks that have just been added and her other tasks, making her table heavier, before entrusting to check the others.

Having finished everything he had to deal with, Alvine finally focuses on Askald while crossing his fingers in front of his face with his elbows on his desk.

"Do you think they will use her to replace the little fairy who had played an important role in your sleep?" Askald asks for a sober voice.

"Not sure, the goal of our enemies is not to put me in a deep sleep, but to put me out of harm by killing me."

"Huh!? Does this girl have such powers?" Askald asks in a voice slightly scratched by his surprise.

"Heh, no one is immortal Askald; after all, no one is omnipotent. Finally, that was a trivial detail. The most important thing to know immediately is intelligence; we need as much as possible." He uttered these words in his sneer.

"... Do you have any information that can help us...-

"Not reliable information, but just speculation. The spirit that possessed White Fy and this Uranus are probably special beings, but not more special than Isolet." He said in a sober voice.

"Uranus?" Askald asks with confused eyes.

But when he crossed Alvine's eyes he could see the latter's pupils turn to dark green, like Zakiel's.

In the same second, memories began to flow into his mind.

Memories that gave him the impression of having attended the meeting that Alvine had attended.

In just three seconds he was able to see everything Alvine had attended during the meeting.

In the meantime, Alvine not only passed on his memories to him, but he also stole all the information that Askald had witnessed during his absence.

"I was right, this woman is the same as the one who attended the meeting; no wonder she was the most posed of all. She even told me that she had accomplished her goal, I guess that was the moment when she took Isolet." Alvine mutters thoughtfully after processing the information faster than Askald.

After an additional three seconds, Askald returned to reality at the same time as his eyes regained their ordinary gleams.

"She addressed Isolet like her queen, huh?" He mutters after reviewing the whole scene from Alvine's point of view.

"Yes, Isolet has a higher status than them, so I don't have to worry about them hurting her. In addition, they seem to have established a hierarchy similar to mine. This woman named Nephleim, has the status of monarch, on other hand, she is as powerful as the three of you. And according to the respect shown to her by Uranus, the latter is probably a general strategist, like Luna or Darka."

"... So you mean...-

"Probably, no one is unique in this world, it is a feeling intended to satisfy us and keep us in our little bubbles of superiority. As long as there is a male and a female, it is obvious that there is also a being as powerful and represents the same traits as me. Finally, it remains a hypothesis to be checked." After these words, Alvine gets up behind his desk.

"One second." Assi's voice interrupted him.

"What is it about?"

"Are you really going to implement this project?!" She asks while looking at Alvine with suspicious eyes.
