Angering a True Ancestor is not sothing that can be settled by destroying one or two countries.
"I absolutely did not an that!"
Koyomi Shizuka's face turned extrely unpleasant.
"Please just give us so ti. We will mobilize the entire nation's strength to capture all those petty individuals from back then and offer compensation sufficient to appease your anger. Therefore, please grant us rcy!"
In her heart, she cursed those idiots from back then to the extre.
Why did they have to provoke a True Ancestor of all things?
Wasn't steady developnt good enough? Did they really have to take such a gamble?
What difference was there between this approach and holding hundreds of millions of citizens hostage, plunging them into disgrace?
She hadn't been involved in the matter back then, but as a governnt agent, she couldn't oppose the governnt's decision either.
From her personal perspective, she had never approved of this reckless gamble. It wasn't that she found charming others to be inhumane—it was purely because the risks were enormous!
"At the latest, I want results by the ti the concludes."
Giada withdrew her aura, though her expression remained icy cold.
"Otherwise, await the arrival of my army at your borders!"
"Rember, the reason I'm giving you ti is because I don't want this matter to affect innocent civilians. But if you dare cross my bottom line again, I won't hesitate to emulate the Warlord's actions!"
After saying this,
Giada's figure vanished without any warning.
The faint, almost imperceptible pressure that had surrounded them also disappeared completely.
The Ninth Prince and Vatler both breathed a sigh of relief.
The wrath of a True Ancestor leaves corpses strewn across thousands of miles—this wasn't just an empty saying.
"Since ancient tis, those who have provoked True Ancestors have paid the price in blood. To think there are still people who don't understand this even now—such foolishness is utterly beyond cure!"
The Ninth Prince looked at the rustic literary girl with a mocking expression.
"Her Majesty the Empress is the most gentle among the three True Ancestors. To have provoked her to this extent, I'm even curious about what exactly you people did!"
The Warlord and the Eyes of Destruction are the types who, once angered, retaliate on a massive scale, refusing to stop until the entire world is thrown into panic.
Only the Chaos Empress is the relatively gentle True Ancestor.
At the very least, she cherishes her reputation, often wandering around her territory where even commoners can catch a glimpse of her. She is the one who cares most about the lives of her subjects and the casualties among her soldiers among the three True Ancestors.
Her popularity is also the highest among the three True Ancestors. Even the humans within her Empire of the Night mostly submit to her rule.
This is common knowledge.
"But precisely because she is overly gentle, she becos a target for so bold and foolish individuals, doesn't she?"
Vatler grinned, his fangs bared nacingly.
No one dares to sche against the Warlord or the Eyes of Destruction.
Yet so dare to provoke the Chaos Empress.
It truly proves the saying that the kind-hearted are bullied.
"Alright, Koyomi Shizuka, how your Japanese governnt plans to appease Her Majesty the Empress's wrath doesn't interest ."
Having enjoyed the spectacle, the Ninth Prince waved his hand dismissively.
"Hurry up and stand. Explain the details about the sequel of the to !"
"Haah..."
Koyomi Shizuka rose from the iron floor, a deep worry still etched on her face.
This ti's "Banquet of the Blazing Aurora" has unexpectedly encountered such a major disruption.
If matters aren't resolved within the designated tifra, Japan will likely face catastrophic destruction.
However, this isn't sothing she can decide alone—it requires thorough discussion with leaders from other departnts.
For now, let's keep our focus on the "Banquet of the Blazing Aurora."
This is another high-stakes gamble by the Japanese governnt.
If they win this bet, they might gain significant leverage when facing the Third Progenitor's accusations.
"The Twelfth is about to break the seal."
She shook her head, temporarily pushing aside her worries to concentrate on the matter at hand.
"Oh?"
The Ninth Prince imdiately raised his eyebrows, delighted.
"All twelve vessels will finally be gathered?"
With all twelve vessels assembled, the "Banquet of the Blazing Aurora" can finally begin!
This ans the resurrection of the Fourth True Ancestor is now on the agenda!
"The young lady of the Karlarna family will likely release the Twelfth as we hope."
Vatler's expression carried an indescribable nuance.
The Fifth Vessel he possessed had clashed with Veldiana earlier today, so he could anticipate what would happen next.
"Haha, just how many people are using that little girl?"
The Ninth Prince laughed heartily.
His words were filled with contempt for Veldiana.
That young noblewoman's actions had been monitored by three parties from the very beginning, with everyone eagerly awaiting her to break the Twelfth's seal.
"What a harsh thing to say. We rely gave her an opportunity for revenge."
Vatler smiled like a snake poised to strike.
"Of course, she doesn't qualify to participate in the 'Banquet of the Blazing Aurora.'"
"To beco an 'Elector,' one needs not only a vessel but also territory under their control."
The Ninth Prince nodded in agreent.
"The Karlarna clan, having lost their territory, cannot beco 'Electors' even if they obtain a vessel!"
These are the participation conditions for the "Banquet of the Blazing Aurora."
Possessing a vessel rely earns one a place in these people's sights.
Only with territory can one beco an 'Elector.'
"However, I heard Zaharias, who seized the Karlarna territory, was eliminated before reaching String God Island?"
Vatler turned his gaze toward Shizuka Yu.
"Correct."
"And the vessel?"
"Was taken."
"I see."
Vatler imdiately understood.
"It seems this unidentified mysterious figure also aims for the 'Banquet of the Blazing Aurora'!"
For the Fourth True Ancestor to fully resurrect, not a single vessel can be missing.
Since they took one vessel, they're inevitably connected to the Fourth True Ancestor.
From a logical perspective, their goal should be to gain rit from supporting the dragon's rise, yet this person shows no intention of revealing themselves, making it sowhat puzzling.
"Is this mysterious person a resident of String God Island?"
The Ninth Prince revealed a pleased smile.
"Tearing apart those lowly Ghouls was quite well done—it suits this prince's taste. Is that person one of your 'Electors'?"
"No, the candidate we selected isn't that mysterious figure."
Shizuka Yu shook her head.
After all, even she had no idea who this mysterious person truly was.
The only known fact is that the person likely resides on Itogami Island, which is why they seized the vessel when Zacharias arrived on the island.
"If not, then forget it."
The Ninth Prince muttered under his breath.
"Then, the final question—we three parties, the Principality of Aldegard, Her Highness the Imperial Princess, and this prince, are all staking our respective territories. What can your Japanese governnt wager in return?"
