Chapter 973 Alliance 1



A few days later.

Right in between the Kingdom of Lanthanor, the Kingdom of Arafell and the Black Raven Kingdom, there was a large swathe of land which had a long history of bloodshed.

There were almost no settlements across this vast area, and even if someone was foolish or brave enough to set up one, it never lasted.

In the era before the advent of the King, the main reasons behind this were the bands of bandits, and the skirmishes that repeatedly happened between the forces of the three kingdoms.

Hence, there were easily hundreds of thousands of bodies buried beneath this land, and all the plants and trees that were dotted across the landscape had been fed by the blood of all the warriors who lived on in this manner.

The only reason it had not been actively occupied by either of the three kingdoms was that it was mostly very rocky terrain with a quite a few mountains also present here and there.

Yet, a few days ago, a miraculous thing had happened.

100 individuals had to from the ground, and with nothing but their fists and feet, they had flattened the entire area.

There were very few people who saw this sight, but knowing just how extraordinary it was, they had hastened to tell others, thereby resulting in many, many groups of people coming from all three kingdoms to witness what would later be called "The Descent of the Heavens."

This name was given both because there was no explanation regarding these giants except that they were from the heavens, and because it was almost as if they were forming the landscape into a flat area that would make it seem as if a giant foot had descended from above to stake its claim on the land it had overseen for all these eons.

"I never imagined that having a hundred Heroes to do my bidding would make me the best landscaper in history... But when you think about it, it does make sense."

As Daneel said this, most of the 10 people behind him could not help but chuckle.

They were all standing a few hundred feet above the large area, and hence, they could see all of the changes that had been made in a very short time.

Beside him, on either side, stood the two women who were the main reason behind the event that had once again shaken the continent.

Even now, Daneel clearly remembered all the chatter that he had heard in the Order.

All of those Heroes had been suffering surprise after surprise due to everything that Daneel had been doing, but after finding out that someone with so much power was also allied with the Church, it was as if a tipping point had been reached.

The tipping point could have resulted in one of two outcomes, but thankfully, because of what happened after Hero Northstar fainted, it had gone in the right direction.

In fact, it happened right at the spot they were standing, and right now, it was still being talked about all over Angaria.

Remembering that moment fondly, Daneel turned to Xuan to glance at the glowing orb that adorned her waist.

Seeing the king once again turn his attention to it, Eloise said, "From the way you look at it, one would almost think that you care about it as if it’s your baby..."

There was nothing more absurd than what she had stated, so this elicited a bit more laughter than Daneel’s humorous statement had done.

In response, even Daneel could only chuckle and say, "I can’t help it! Most of the enemies of the state, so far, have met with a swift death, but this is really unique! It is a symbol that will deter people every time they see it, and I’m honestly glad that Xuan chose this route, instead of going for instant gratification..."

Xuan, herself, chose to respond as he said this.

"You can tell that to dear Miss Northstar right here..."

Saying so, she patted the orb, which made it glow even more.

The moment she did that, it was almost as if the faintest echo of a scream could be heard in the surrounding area, and as soon as he detected that, Daneel’s smile turned cold, while Xuan continued.

"The credit also goes to you, Daneel. I simply wanted a method in which I could see her suffer by my side, until eternity, for everything she has done. However, after seeing her power, I also wanted there to be a way in which it could be used... Combining them both, you proposed the method with which we severed her consciousness and body. All of the Energy that she accumulated over all these years will not go to waste, and using this trinket, her consciousness will be tortured every second, day in and day out, with even a few special additions whenever I touch the orb in different ways. It’s wonderful that you even managed to incorporate all of the methods that the Empress of Torture used to use in the age of the Empire! It truly is the perfect punishment, and when the time for the war approaches... She will be broken enough to accept our oaths, and fight for Angaria. Judging from the timeline, I think she must be one of the first who allied with the Church, so it is only fitting that she is the one who deters others from switching over. After all, combined with the vision that you showed, anyone with a brain would realize that protecting their home is the best thing they can do... And with your help, there is a strong possibility we can even succeed. So, anyway... When is the big day?"

Seeing Xuan speak at length in an almost normal tone for the first time since she had woken up from her slumber, Daneel’s heart swelled with happiness.

Back on Earth, he knew many people who liked to say that revenge never helped, and that it was better for one to let it go and look for a way to get better.

However, he now knew for a fact that revenge also had the power of assuaging one’s grief, due to the knowledge that they had done right by whatever injustice they had suffered.
