Level Up Legacy

Chapter 1383 Fragile Alliance

Everyone turned their attention to the newcomer who walked into the conference room. The man wore simple black robes, even ragged compared to the rest. I is long black hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying behind his back.

His identity was a mystery to some, who had never seen him before the two worlds merged. However, whispers among the crowd revealed his identity and numerous titles. Some originated from Earth, while others belonged to Alka.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seika.

Memoir.

Beloved One.

King of Wrath.

Outsider.

Everyone knew him from different perspectives throughout his life, but no one could belittle his impact on the world. The first major effect was the epiphanies he brought to the world, and the second was becoming the eraser of timelines.

His aura silenced the crowd as he walked toward his chair, each step blending seamlessly into the world. Once he sat down, becoming the fifty-first participant in the conference, silence descended upon the hall.

"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, King Arthur, Ruler of Runera and Guild Master of Ascent," Lucien began, introducing him for those still unable to decipher his identity. "As I was saying, strength is the absolute guarantee that no one would betray

the other."

"And he is the strength you seek?" asked Kael Firebrand, the current ruler of Thiria. "An outsider who brought this chaos upon us?"

"We tried to stop you from merging the two worlds," the Lord of Sourna, Saphir, said with a frown. "And you fought against us until you merged the two worlds, sacrificing millions of souls."

"That would be inaccurate, King Lucien defended, while Arthur retained a smile. "The Level Up Legacy that King Arthur created has saved far more lives than the ones we used to lose every year."

"A pathetic attempt to salvage what he has ruined," Marius, the Empyrean of Orlan, retorted. "Are we supposed to be grateful that he empowered us after throwing countless monsters our way?"

"How can we even create this joint force to eradicate the monsters when the one who brought them here is sitting at the same table?" asked Elysia, the Empyrean of Tanera. "I refuse to participate in this mockery."

"You need me," Arthur said without a change in his expression. His smile was serene as he stared at the different Empyreans. "Nameless is about to descend alongside the gods. You need me more than ever."

"The Divine Selection is about to begin, and we can obtain divine help for the challenges ahead," Kael added with a smirk. "My son, Kaius, has already witnessed a vision of a god offering him its powers!"

"I have no doubt that the gods would offer their powers to everyone who accepts them," Arthur said with the same calm expression. "But you must understand that Nameless is an artifact of the gods, designed to swallow lower realms. Its destruction would yield them more power."

Everyone fell silent, unable to believe such a statement. They failed to understand that this wasn't just about their world but all worlds beneath Devaheim.

"How can we trust him with the safety of the world after what he did?" asked Saphir with a frown, addressing Lucien this time. "I understand that you have a favorable relationship with him, but he has caused nothing but chaos for us."

"The world must put aside its previous grievances and work to avoid the next calamity," Lucien said, shaking his head. "Arthur is the only person here to defeat three calamities with his own two hands. We need him."

"I refuse," Kael said as he rose from his chair. "If this treaty relies on someone like him,

I doubt it would grant us any benefit. He has no regard for this world or its inhabitants. I shall take my leave now."

Kael then walked out of the conference room, making his rejection final. The crowd remained silent as they watched him leave. A few more rose from their chairs without saying anything and left the hall.

Lucien understood that their reasons were not about the alliance itself but their pride, shaped by countless encounters with Arthur. Kael and Dragonir were the two most affected by Ascent's sudden rise.

Others who left were guild masters who believed they had nothing to do with the situation. These reclusive guilds focused on surviving as isolated groups and had no land to protect. Therefore, no one was surprised to see them leave.

Lucien made no attempt to stop them. He understood that these people should leave now rather than in times of trouble. There was no use in convincing someone who could not care less about others.

After everyone who wished to leave had indeed left, Arthur did a quick count and found that twelve members were gone, leaving them with thirty-nine people. Those remaining seemed to be considering the proposal.

"If we create this treaty, what duties would we have?" asked Morkan Steelgrip, Guild

Master of the Iron Vanguard. "If the Seika participates in this alliance, then I am willing to do my part!"

Lucien looked relieved for a second before smiling. Then, he waved his hand to construct an ethereal map of the world before them. The map was divided into several sections in different colors.

"This is the map of the New World," Lucien said with a smile. "If those present here are willing to sign the treaty, we will work together to cover the areas marked here. These are the most threatened zones we have discovered."

"That is..." the Alvan King muttered with a frown as he noticed that one of the areas bordered his kingdom. "How accurate is this?"

No one expected the Alvan King to be part of this alliance, but the demi-humans always acknowledged strength above all else. If Arthur wished to invade Alva and claim it as his own, no one would complain, as he clearly had the ability to do so. "As accurate as our reports can be," Lucien said as he retrieved the documents from his dimensional ring and began showing them to the crowd. "You are free to confirm

them."
