Chapter 1112: Mind Games And Pressure, The Shocking Discovery



They turned toward Orion and the others, attempting to speak, but quickly closed their mouths, remembering the man's words. Since they had been granted the chance to live, they needed to seize the opportunity and act quickly.

First, they needed to exchange the information they had learned about the sudden alliance between the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise, Sleeping Fox, and Trekking Flamingo Runaway Cities, as well as the unknown force called Paradise, which even Commander Sy'ra seemed to respect. They would then escape the Dreyal Mountain Range as fast as possible to avoid reencountering them.

Sy'ra exited the cell to inform the other gods' chosens, who were patrolling outside to carry out the Supreme Leader's commands.

"I always thought you were influenced by your new mistress, but it appears I was wrong. You and she are truly similar in many ways. See you later, Lord Lalos, my beloved brother. I will definitely miss you," Iyalis said, bowing slightly toward Lalos and his mistress. Her tone was firm, her expression filled with hatred.

She flinched slightly, glancing at Orion and the others before swiftly exiting the room, guided by the gods' chosens stationed outside.

"Supreme Leader, is letting them go really a good idea? I don't think it's okay for them to leave like that. What if they alert the other Stowaways and plot another ambush?" Sy'ra asked.

Supreme Leader? They felt their ears itch at her statement.

"What they do doesn't matter because we're going to meet them," Orion replied, turning his attention toward the suspended Lalos and his mistress. "We are going to war with every Stowaway and Runaway city and reclaim every inch of this territory to prevent something like this from happening again. So they should prepare with everything they have and accept their defeat when they lose."

There are enemies you hunt with strategy and those you crush without a second glance. The Stowaways were the latter. They needed to be dealt with immediately, and gathering them together seemed the best and easiest option.

A look of realisation crossed Sy'ra's expression, and she nodded in response. 'As expected, he has a reason for releasing them,' Sy'ra thought. She became curious about the slave seal he had cast on the prisoners.

"What do you plan on doing with them?" Sy'ra asked, shifting her focus toward the two suspended prisoners.

However, upon hearing her words, Lalos and his mistress felt fear emerge within their hearts. They realised the unknown man was genuinely intent on keeping his word, but something much worse was approaching them. Regardless, they were unable to do anything in their current dilemma.

Their bodies tensed as they awaited the man's response.

"They have already lost their freedom, so let them remain here until they can pledge their servitude to Paradise. Then we can reconsider their worth," Orion responded. He released their lips, seeing that they were waiting to speak.

"I surrender! I will pledge my servitude to Paradise!" Lalos shouted anxiously.

"I'm also willing to pledge my allegiance to Paradise. Please spare my life!" the woman also shouted anxiously.

Realising that the Supreme Leader was willing to fulfil his promise and that the alliance would soon face a foreseeable war, they decided to seize the opportunity before them rather than spend the rest of their lives rotting within this cell.

Even the other gods' chosens and leaders felt the same way, their eyes scanning the surroundings with shock and disbelief.

"The Vylkr vines have been cleared by one of Paradise's divine beings. Her name is not something you are qualified to know," replied a Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City god's chosens, a female orc, standing near the bridge connecting to the Stone Fang Stowaway, guiding them across. Her tone was filled with reverence.

BAM!! BAM!!

Upon hearing this, several gods' chosens and leaders, including Iyalis, almost stumbled over their own feet. Others collapsed on the bridge, causing it to tilt from side to side.

The Vylkr vines were cleared by a divine being... one of Paradise's divine beings! "It's... It's a lie--you're messing with us. Haah... this is an illusion. I knew they weren't just going to set us free like that," one of the younger leaders of the Stone Fang Stowaway, said with a depressing chuckle.

Hearing his statement, Iyalis and a few others nearby were shaken back to reality. However, their expressions suddenly turned pale as they realised that one of their own was doubting the words of the leaders of an unknown opposing force while they were still in the Runaway City

of another opposing force.

Iyalis hurried to close his mouth before he could utter another word, fearing the retaliation of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway gods' chosens. But contrary to her expectations, they roared with laughter.

"Why would we lie to you when we don't gain anything? If the orders were given, any of our team would be enough to eradicate your measly Stowaway," one of the gods' chosen, an incubus, responded, clicking his tongue in annoyance. "You Stowaways really think too highly

of yourselves."

This time, Iyalis and the others nearby, who were listening intently to the conversation, remained rooted in their positions, their expressions morphing into utter disbelief at the

situation at hand.

The young leader who had spoken stepped back, seeing the fierce glare of the gods' chosens

directed at him.

It wasn't false! A divine being was indeed within this unknown force called Paradise!

Iyalis gulped. Though still doubtful, her mind raced, trying to make sense of this sudden revelation while thinking about their current situation.

If there was genuinely a divine being within Paradise, then why leave? Iyalis thought. Remembering that despite having engraved a slave mark on her, Paradise had kept their word and granted them freedom made her see them in a positive light.

If they could find a way to stay, even if it meant serving under Paradise, wouldn't that mean they would also be under the protection of a divine being?
