Chapter 2606 Talk
Toval took a step back as he asked the Devils. "Are you sure you want to burn this bridge?"
Black Locust couldn't care less. "We haven't even formalized the construction of the bridge to start with, so what is there to burn? Now, enough bulls.h.i.+t. Are you going to leave, or should we show you the way out?"
Toval then looked at Turen, who had a mocking smile on his face. He still couldn't understand why Turen would give up his Fragment. Nonetheless, it was true that he wouldn't fare very well if he fought in the Underworld. "Fine! Don't think I will forget it." He then turned around, opening a Spatial Gate and going back to the Temporal Path Entrance. The two angels looked at each other and nodded. They were already at a disadvantage in the Underworld to start with, so Toval's departure only confirmed the obvious. They had no chance of forcing the Devils to give up that Fragment to them.
Well, truth be told, there was no such thing as an agreement between this group either. Two angels, two Realm of G.o.ds' experts, and one vruve expert. They were all planning to fight for the Fragment as soon as they got rid of Turen. "Let's go, Dalquiel."
Dalquiel nodded and followed Naya'il through another Spatial Gate, leaving only the Phoenix and the Beholder behind... or so they tried. "Wait! I have some things to talk to the rest of you," Turen suddenly said.
The two angels stopped in their tracks and turned back. "Does this have something to do with the reason for you to give up the Fragment?"
Turen nodded. "Yes. I haven't told the Devils about it yet, either. Before you all leave, I must let you know what we are about to face. This is the reason why I had to end this war, even at the cost of my Fragment."
Sansara narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you say you couldn't care less about the Realm of G.o.ds a while ago to the three of us Devils?"
Turen nodded once again. "And I truly don't. Anyway, just listen. You will all understand. Whether you believe it or not, that is another story, though."
Dalquiel and Naya'il got even more confused. "I don't see how stopping the war between Devils and Realm of G.o.ds has anything to do with our Heavens."
Himmel and Sofrixa kept their guards high, afraid that Turen might be trying to buy time for something. Nonetheless, they were curious about it all. "These angels are right. Go ahead, speak."
The Devils obviously paid attention, too.
"Within ten years, our Universe will finally receive some visitors from outside," Turen dropped the bomb. "What?!" There wasn't a single Semi-Celestial that wasn't shocked by his revelation. "Does this have anything to do with the Ruins of the Stars? Everyone knows that it disappeared from this Universe."
Turen shook his head. "It's not due to that, but it is connected. I can't explain exactly how I found it, and I'm also not 100% sure it is going to happen. At the moment, this is just speculation. Nonetheless, it is very likely that it will happen. From what I heard, it might not take even five years for that to happen."
Black Locust snorted. "Hmph! And here I was wondering what could make you give up the Fragment. In the end, you came up with this kind of bulls.h.i.+t? You don't really expect us to believe since not even you can be certain, right?"
Turen sighed, already expecting that reaction. "I already told you. It is up to you to believe in my words or not. I have done my part. With this deal between us, the war between the Underworld and Realm of G.o.ds will end. That way, we won't lose any more experts before the arrival of our new friends."
Dalquiel couldn't help but mention. "Turen, I'm sorry to say this, but I find it very unlikely to happen."
"Yes," Himmel agreed. "We know you. Who can tell if you are not just working on something else on our backs? Even the pact contracts can't force a Semi-Celestial to tell the truth if he doesn't want to."
Turen didn't mind. "I'm aware. Nonetheless, I believe neither of the three Realms has anything to lose, or do you?" Turen continued. "The elder devils got their Fragment. The Realm of G.o.ds can just open a safe path, and all the Devils will come back to the Underworld. As for the angels, they lose nothing in knowing about this."
Turen quickly added. "However, if I were all of you, I would start building the proper defenses and prepare as much as possible before they arrive. Up to this day, we still haven't figured out the secret to enter the Celestial Realm, but can you be certain other Universes haven't? What if I'm telling the truth? What if I'm right?"
Turen then closed his eyes. "This is the reason why I had to stop this war before it went to its dire straights. At that time, the Peak Divinity Realm Devils would have no other choice but to show their cards. How many experts from both sides would be lost when that moment comes? And it is not that far."
Everyone went silent for a moment. Finally, Himmel turned around, preparing to leave. "Whatever. One thing is certain, the Devils are surrendering, am I right?"
Black Locust snorted. "Hmph! Who is surrendering? This is just a deal that happens to help your Realm of G.o.ds. Open a safe path to our Devils to return to the Underworld, and we can get it over with."
Sofrixa also prepared to leave. "That's enough for us. It is not like we wish to see our experts dying to reconquer the land. Regardless if Turen is right or not, we will definitely not lose this chance to end this war and take what is ours back. We will use our authority and have safe routes opened to the Temporal Path so that all your Devils can return." That was indeed a great boost for the Realm of G.o.ds, so those two had to act quickly before something changed.
Turen then gave one last piece of information. "Senior Hyeoumu seems to be aware of this information as well. Perhaps you want to pay him a visit and see if he is willing to talk."
