Chapter 233 The Meeting of Gods! Part-5.

Chapter 233 The Meeting of Gods! Part-5.

The Meeting went on and on for three days straight, there were no breaks in between either.

Everyone who attended the meeting was at least S-rank or above, thus none of them had any need for short breaks or food, etc.

S-rank and above level individuals can survive by consuming mana, thus they have no need for food, water, oxygen, or any basic need of an organism.

Their body is capable of digesting even the most toxic poisons thus they don't produce any organic waste and they can use mana in place of oxygen thus they can breathe in space too.

You can say that after reaching rank S an organism elevates to a higher level than a mortal.

Due to their amazing natural healing capabilities, thus their life is very tenacious like a cockroach.

They can survive for as long as they want without any need for food or water, thus there were no food breaks in between the meetings that lasted for three days straight.

With the amazing mental capability of S-rankers and above-level individuals, it's not surprising that they can attend such a long meeting while still remaining in a perfectly calm state all along.

Their mental capacity is vast, their brains can already be considered better than supercomputers.

...

Ryul glanced at all the members of the alliance and heaved a sigh of relief.

'This meeting seems to have gone by without too much trouble, I was worried for nothing... this new batch of SS-rankers is not all that bad...' (Ryul)

Then Ryul glanced at Ashtel and thought to himself.

'Or perhaps they were acting so mildly was also because this ridiculous monster is also here right now, no one wants to offend him I guess...' (Ryul)

While Ryul was busy thinking in his mind, other SS rankers were also having friendly chit-chat with each other at the moment.

All the topics for the meeting were already discussed and countermeasures were proposed, now that all of them are free of their official duties it is the perfect time to chat a bit with each other.

After all, it is not every day you get to meet so many SS-rankers in one place.

Seeing that the time was right, the Orc Representative walked over to Ashtel with a smile on his face.

"Uh, It's an honor to meet a warrior like you, I am Gradba, a traditional warrior and the son of an Orc General... I have wanted to meet you for a long time." (Gradba)

Ashtel didn't know what motive this Orc had for approaching him, his face still remained calm but he was already thinking about various things in his mind.

Ashtel nodded his head and returned the greeting.

"Hmm, it's nice to meet you too... I am Asthel Rex, a descendent of Astra." (Ashtel)

Gradba nodded his head.

"Uh, we Orcs don't know how to talk in circles, so I will be straightforward with you... recently we have discovered a massive underground fortress near a volcano in our territory..." (Gradba)

"Underground fortress?" (Ashtel)

A visible frown appeared on Ashtel's face, he knew that it was likely a fortress built by humans during the era of King Allen.

"Yes, its doors are locked and I didn't try to forcefully open it as it may self-destruct if we forced our way in, so I wanted to ask you if you knew anything about it..." (Gradba)

"Hmm, well, I think it's likely something left behind when the human army retreated after the thousand-year war... it might contain some information records on what was going on during those times or war..." (Ashtel)

"It has amazing historical value I assume..." (Ashtel)

Hearing Ashtel's words, Gradba nodded his head and said.

He left behind his contact information and went back to his seat with a happy smile on his face.

Jin glanced at the fading back of Gradba and asked Ashtel in a doubtful tone.

"Is it really okay to be cooperating with them... you know how many comrades we lost to the orc army during the fifty-year war right?" (Jin)

Jin and Ashtel have both faced those difficult times when the Orc army was invading the human empire and they have seen many of their comrades die in that cruel war.

Hearing Jin's question, Ashtel shook his head and said.

"The war was a scheme of the demons, we don't need to remain so cold against the Orcs anymore as the war has been over for so long now..." (Ashtel)

"I was also thinking about how I should re-initiate a good relationship between the humans and Orcs, this seems to be the perfect opportunity..." (Ashtel)

Jin was still not convinced though.

"But-" (Jin)

"Don't forget a massive calamity is just around the corner, a great war against the demons and monsters might start soon, we are indeed self-sufficient, but it's always good to have more allies on your side..." (Ashtel)

Jin finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.

The reason why Gradba asked for cooperation at this exact moment was because he figured out the danger of the upcoming war and he wanted to strengthen the younger generation.

Trading some lifeless blue ore to enhance the survival of the Orc race is a great deal for the Orcs, and Ashtel agreed to this because he knew that blue ore would be useful in the upcoming war.

This means both parties are in a win-win situation with this cooperation.

"We likely will have to cooperate with the Orcs in the upcoming war, it's better to resolve our personal conflicts before that time comes, otherwise it will prove to be difficult for both races to cooperate..." (Ashtel)

Ashtel didn't say that he was doing this for his son too.

He wants to solve all conflicts with the Orc race before Link ascends to power.

That way Link will have an easier time in the future while dealing with the endless onslaught of the demon armies, at least he won't have to worry about a betrayal from fellow allies.

Ashtel was already thinking far into the future.

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here!

It seems that the movements of the demon race really have the power to make the various races forget personal conflicts and unite together as a whole.

A common threat helps people unite after all.

Question of the day.

What do you think of Ashtel's decision?

1. Clever (He plotted everything quite cleverly!)

2. Double-edged (Once the war with demons ends, cooperation with the Orcs might not be feasible anymore!)

3. Others (Tell me in the comments.)

By the way, don't forget to use those power stones and also leave a review if you like the story. Comment your opinion about the chapter. Your support is my motivation.
